Shui Bing'er Willing to Marry? Huo Wu: I Disagree! How Can a Titled Douluo Rob a Woman by Force?
"Little girl."
Azure Luan Douluo interrupted her, his tone calm yet imbued with unquestionable authority.
"I will be blunt: Huang Yan's Evil Fire requires your Ice Phoenix Martial Soul to suppress it.
If you marry him, Martial Soul Hall will guarantee the prosperity of Skywater Academy for a hundred years.
If you refuse... then there is no need for Skywater Academy to exist after today."
Shui Bing'er's delicate body trembled as she looked at Azure Luan Douluo in disbelief, then turned to see the despair etched onto the faces of her Dean and teachers.
Being ice-cold and brilliant, she understood the situation in an instant.
This was not a marriage proposal at all, but a forced union using the survival of the entire academy as a threat!
Huang Yan looked at the cold, breathtakingly beautiful girl before him and stepped forward, his tone softening with a hint of sincerity.
"Miss Shui, I apologize for meeting you in such a manner.
However, my Evil Fire backlash is imminent, and I truly require your assistance."
"I, Huang Yan, swear here that if you are willing to marry me, I will protect you for the rest of your life.
I possess Twin Martial Souls and am level fifty-two at eighteen; in the future of the Douluo Continent, there will surely be a place for both of us!"
Shui Bing'er looked at the young man, whose talent was nothing short of terrifying, and then back at the trembling members of her academy.
She bit her red lip, remained silent for a long time, and finally gave a miserable smile.
"Do I even have the right to refuse?"
Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, suppressing the grievance and helplessness in her heart, and looked straight into Huang Yan's eyes.
"As long as you can guarantee the safety of Skywater Academy, I... am willing to marry you."
Upon hearing this, Azure Luan Douluo let out a loud laugh, and the terrifying pressure that had shrouded the entire Skywater Academy instantly vanished into thin air.
"Good!
Those who understand the times are wise!"
Azure Luan Douluo nodded in satisfaction, his tone becoming much gentler.
"Little girl, you have made the wisest choice.
From this day forward, you are the wife of my disciple.
I promise that not only will Martial Soul Hall not touch a hair on Skywater Academy, but we will also allocate resources to help you advance even further!"
The Skywater Dean let out a long sigh of relief, looking as if she had collapsed, and said bitterly:
"Many thanks to the Third Offering for your mercy... May I ask when you intend to take Bing'er away?"
"We depart immediately."
Azure Luan Douluo did not hesitate, his voice deep.
"The Evil Fire within Huang Yan has reached a critical point; we cannot afford any delays."
"So soon?"
Shui Bing'er's face turned pale, a flicker of panic flashing in her eyes.
"Could you... allow me to say goodbye to my sister and everyone at the academy?"
Azure Luan Douluo frowned, just about to refuse, when Huang Yan spoke up first.
"Teacher, give her some time."
Huang Yan looked at Shui Bing'er, his tone gentle.
"Half an hour, is that enough?"
Azure Luan Douluo glanced at his disciple and finally nodded.
"Very well, as you wish.
We will wait for you at the academy gate in half an hour."
Shui Bing'er took a deep look at Huang Yan and bowed slightly.
"Thank you."
Azure Luan Douluo said softly:
"I know your heart is full of grievance and unwillingness right now, and I know you were forced to compromise for the sake of the academy.
But time will prove that being the wife of my disciple, Huang Yan, will never bring you shame."
Shui Bing'er did not speak, simply turning around and walking into the academy with the red-eyed Dean.
Skywater Academy was located in Five Elements City, not far from the other four elemental academies.
At this moment, Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy was walking into Skywater Academy with her brother, Huo Wushuang.
Following behind them like a tag-along was Feng Xiaotian of Godwind Academy.
As soon as they entered the gate, Huo Wu sensed that something was wrong.
The entire Skywater Academy was shrouded in a deathly gloom, with many female students sobbing softly, their eyes rimmed with red.
"What is going on? Why is your academy looking so lifeless today?" Huo Wu grabbed a familiar student from Skywater Academy and asked.
The moment that student saw Huo Wu, her tears became uncontrollable, and she choked out, "Sister Huo Wu... a Title Douluo from Martial Soul Hall has arrived. He... he is threatening the survival of our entire academy, forcing Senior Sister Bing'er to marry his disciple!"
"What?!" Huo Wu's willow-leaf brows shot up, and fury erupted in her eyes. "Forced abduction? The people of Martial Soul Hall are far too overbearing!"
Feng Xiaotian was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her, "Sister Huo Wu, keep your voice down! That is a Title Douluo; we cannot afford to provoke him..."
"Shut your mouth! If you're a coward, then get back to your Godwind Academy!" Huo Wu shoved Feng Xiaotian aside and turned to look at Huo Wushuang. "Brother, come with me. We're going to find Bing'er!"
Huo Wushuang gave a bitter smile, having no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.
The trio soon found Shui Bing'er, who was weeping in the arms of her sister, Shui Yue'er, downstairs at the dormitory building.
"Bing'er!" Huo Wu hurried forward, grabbed Shui Bing'er's hand, and said urgently, "I've heard everything! Are you really planning to just swallow your pride and marry that bastard you haven't even met?"
Shui Bing'er wiped away her tears and shook her head bitterly, "Huo Wu, I have no other choice. If I don't agree, Skywater Academy will be destroyed today."
"Bullshit! I refuse to believe there is no justice left in this world!" Huo Wu, with her fiery temper, grabbed Shui Bing'er's arm. "Let's go! Take me to them! I want to see which Title Douluo is so shameless!"
"Huo Wu, don't be impulsive, that is the Third Offering of Martial Soul Hall..." Shui Bing'er tried to break free, but Huo Wu held onto her tightly. "I don't care which Offering he is! Lead the way!"
Under Huo Wu's forceful dragging, the group soon arrived at the main gate of Skywater Academy.
Azure Luan Douluo and Huang Yan were waiting outside. Seeing Shui Bing'er return, accompanied by three aggressive-looking youths, Azure Luan Douluo frowned slightly.
Before Azure Luan Douluo could speak, Huo Wu stepped forward, pointed at him, and demanded loudly, "Are you that Title Douluo from Martial Soul Hall?!"
Azure Luan Douluo's gaze turned cold as he said indifferently, "Little girl, who are you? How dare you speak to this old man like that."
"Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Wu!" Huo Wu met Azure Luan Douluo's gaze without a hint of fear and rebuked him loudly, "And you call yourself a dignified Title Douluo, a senior expert! To think you would stoop to such a shameless act!"
"Without obtaining Bing'er's consent, you are using the lives of hundreds of people at Skywater Academy as leverage to force her to marry your disciple!"
"Do you people from Martial Soul Hall only know how to bully the weak and resort to such low-class, despicable tactics?!"
As these words fell, the entire arena plunged into a deathly silence.
Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian turned deathly pale, cold sweat instantly soaking through their backs.
Shui Bing'er was so frightened that her face lost all color, and she hurriedly grabbed Huo Wu's sleeve.
"Huo Wu, stop talking..."
"Presumptuous!"
Azure Luan Douluo let out a cold shout, and a terrifying, overwhelming pressure descended in an instant.
"Thump!"
Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian's legs went soft, and they were forced down onto one knee, cold sweat pouring off them.
Although Huo Wu gritted her teeth tightly, her bones creaked under this pressure, and her legs trembled violently, nearly forcing her to her knees.
"A mere junior at the Soul Ancestor level dares to accuse this old man?"
A cold glint flickered in Azure Luan Douluo's eyes, his voice bone-chillingly cold.
"Does Blazing Fire Academy wish to cease existing?"
