PS: Bei Bei took his mother's surname, as mentioned in the original work, because the family line is passed down through the mother's side. However, since "Bei" is difficult to name, the protagonist uses the surname Mu.
"Tianyi, do you want a wife?"
"If you want a wife... just say the word, and I'll have one delivered to you in a moment."
Sea God Island, a villa by the lake.
The afternoon breeze drifted through the phoenix tree leaves, scattering shimmering light across the lake's surface.
Mu Tianyi sat cross-legged on his bed, a pale purple spirit ring slowly rising from beneath his feet.
Behind him, the silhouettes of two giant dragons—one white and one black—seemed to mirror him, eyes closed, quietly sensing something.
"Finally, the energy of the second spirit ring has been fully absorbed. Now, I can prepare to begin my cultivation," the youth murmured to himself.
Just then.
An aged yet vigorous voice drifted over.
Mu Tianyi paused.
He slowly looked up.
The courtyard gate had been opened at some point. Standing at the entrance was an old man in white robes, hunched over a cane, smiling warmly.
The old man's silver-white hair cascaded behind his shoulders; though his face was aged, his eyes were as deep as the sea.
"Xuan Zu? Why are you here?"
Mu Tianyi asked in surprise.
The person who had arrived was none other than one of the strongest combatants on the Douluo Continent today, the pillar of Shrek Academy, his Xuan Zu, the Dragon God Douluo, Mu En.
And standing quietly behind Mu En was a young girl.
The girl appeared to be about eleven or twelve years old.
Her smooth black hair fell to her waist, her skin was fair, and her features were delicate and soft.
She wore a light blue dress and stood with a poised, quiet posture, giving off the feeling of a gentle breeze by a spring lakeside.
She was soft and mild.
She didn't look like a spirit master at all, but rather like a young lady raised in a scholarly household.
Especially those eyes—clear, tranquil, and carrying a touch of intellectual grace.
Mu Tianyi stared, stunned for a few seconds.
He blinked, asking in confusion.
"And she is?"
Mu En stroked his beard, smiling with profound meaning.
"Let me introduce you."
"This is Zhang Lexuan."
"From today on, she is your fiancée."
The air suddenly went quiet.
Even the wind fell silent.
Mu Tianyi: "?"
The youth froze in place.
His brain short-circuited on the spot.
What was that?
A fiancée?
Although as a transmigrator, Mu Tianyi's mental age was already over twenty.
But the problem was...
He was only eight years old this year!
To be precise, he had just turned eight yesterday.
Was he really skipping the dating phase and jumping straight to the grand finale of life?
Mu Tianyi's mouth twitched.
"Xuan Zu, are you serious?"
Mu En nodded calmly.
"Of course."
"Don't you see how well Xuan Zu treats you?"
"Your father didn't even get this kind of treatment back in the day."
Mu Tianyi: "..."
This is bad.
It's even officially certified.
At this moment.
Zhang Lexuan, who had been standing quietly, stepped forward slightly, her hands folded in front of her as she bowed gently toward Mu Tianyi.
Her movements were so graceful that not a single flaw could be found.
"Young Master Mu, hello."
"Please take care of me from now on."
The young girl's voice was also very pleasant.
Soft and gentle.
Mu Tianyi opened his mouth.
Suddenly, he didn't know what to say.
Logically speaking.
With his years of experience surfing the internet in his past life, he should have said something like:
"Hello, I'm your future husband."
But the problem is...
How old is he right now?
The person opposite him looked even more like the "outstanding child of someone else's family" than he did.
This situation was truly a bit beyond his pay grade.
Mu Tianyi gave a dry cough.
"Um..."
"You agreed to this too?"
Zhang Lexuan was slightly stunned.
She didn't seem to expect him to ask that.
A moment later, she nodded gently.
"Mu En saved my life."
"I am willing to stay in the Sea God Pavilion and join Shrek Academy."
"I am also willing to..."
As she said this, the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
The second half of her sentence was quieter.
"Become your fiancée."
Mu Tianyi: "..."
It's over.
Who could withstand this?
He instinctively looked at Mu En.
"Xuan Zu, did you trick this young girl?"
Mu En immediately blew his beard and stared.
"You brat, do I look like that kind of person?"
"Lexuan agreed to this herself!"
"Besides, she has Innate Full Soul Power and a unique Martial Soul; she's at least a future Super Douluo seedling. How could she not be good enough for you?"
Mu Tianyi fell silent.
It wasn't that she wasn't good enough.
It was mainly...
It was too sudden.
One second he was still cultivating.
The next second, a wife dropped from the sky.
And also...
Mu Tianyi paused, his mind racing at high speed.
In the original work, Zhang Lexuan was originally intended to be Bei Bei's child bride.
But that guy Bei Bei was a complete lolicon, hard-controlled by Tang Ya to the point where he couldn't move, and he completely failed to appreciate a big-sister-type girl.
Having a big sister is the best, isn't it!
Since he doesn't understand, then... fine, Mu Tianyi will understand for him.
The youth took a deep breath, organizing his words.
"Um, Sister Lexuan." He spoke tentatively, his voice steadier than usual, "From now on... may I call you that?"
Zhang Lexuan was slightly startled, then nodded, a soft smile in her eyes: "Of course you can. Then I'll call you Tianyi from now on, okay?"
"Mm!" The youth nodded with a smile, his tone filled with earnest joy, "If you run into any trouble on Sea God Island in the future, just come to me. As for me... I will definitely help you solve it."
Zhang Lexuan lowered her head slightly, a blush staining the tips of her ears, and said softly:
"Then I'll be counting on you. I will work hard too, so let's move forward together."
Mu En watched the two interacting before him, nodding slightly, yet remaining silent.
His heart, however, felt exceptionally at ease.
He knew he was already old, and he would not be able to hold on much longer against the shifting winds and clouds of the Douluo Continent.
What he worried about most was not his own death, but Shrek Academy, and the growth and future of the children.
The arrival of Tianyi allowed him to see hope in his twilight years.
The talent possessed by this great-grandson of his had long since surpassed his own.
With the Twin Martial Souls of the Bright Sacred Dragon and the Dark Sacred Dragon, it was destined that Mu Tianyi's future would be to suppress an entire era, and perhaps even challenge that ethereal God Realm.
All Mu En could do was to do his utmost to cultivate Tianyi into the strongest, leaving behind a solid foundation for both the academy and the family.
He sighed softly, his silver-white hair fluttering in the wind.
"Tianyi, you must remember," Mu En spoke slowly, his voice carrying an unquestionable firmness, "Your power is for protecting yourself, and also for guarding those you care about."
Mu Tianyi reined in his smile and nodded earnestly.
"I will remember, Xuan Zu."
The youth's voice was not loud, but it carried a heavy sense of conviction.
Mu En was stunned for a moment, then grinned, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes bunching together.
"Good, good, good."
He said "good" three times in a row, tapping his cane on the ground.
At this moment, Mu Tianyi suddenly remembered something, scratching his head with a tone as natural as if he were talking about what he had for lunch.
"By the way, Xuan Zu, I've reached level twenty."
Mu En was taken aback.
"I just broke through before you arrived," Mu Tianyi scratched his head, "I need to find a second soul ring."
The old man was silent for two seconds, then burst into laughter.
Eight years old, level twenty.
Fine, he was truly worthy of being a descendant of Mu En.
"Fine, leave this matter to Xuan Zu," Mu En leaned on his cane, "Get yourself ready. After lunch, Xuan Zu will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a soul ring."
