Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie's Wedding Invitation?

Shrek City, Leng Family.

As soon as Su Jiu stepped through the door, he was greeted by Leng Yaozhu, whose face was wreathed in bright, joyful smiles.

To see this typically stern and formidable woman laughing so heartily clearly meant something extraordinary was afoot, which immediately piqued Su Jiu's curiosity—there had to be some great fun to be had!

"Eh? A-Jiu, who is this?"

Seeing Su Jiu holding a little girl more exquisite than a porcelain doll, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but marvel inwardly; she hadn't realized such a beautiful child existed in this world.

Na'er hid timidly behind Su Jiu, her soft, adorable appearance instantly striking the softest part of Leng Yaozhu's heart, causing a long-dormant maternal instinct to surge forth.

Watching this scene, she couldn't help but begin to fantasize: if she and Su Jiu had a child in the future, it would surely be just as beautiful!

"Heehee~"

"Yaozhu-jie, did you forget? I mentioned this to you three years ago, remember?"

Su Jiu's words caused a faint sense of unease in Leng Yaozhu, and the smile on her face stiffened.

The vague memories of that day three years ago gradually became clear. Su Jiu had mentioned it once; she had been nearly frightened at the time, but the more she thought about it afterward, the more absurd it seemed, leading her to believe he was likely joking.

Never had she imagined that the "younger sister-in-law" was actually real!

And she was just a little child who knew nothing. Could it be that, influenced by her, Su Jiu also liked the "raising" trope, wanting to raise his future wife from childhood?

If that were the case, it would be truly disastrous!

Leng Yaozhu fell into an unprecedented crisis, yet she refused to believe she would lose to this yellow-haired brat who hadn't even awakened her martial soul!

She lowered her gaze—Hmm, I can't see my toes; I am a peerless beauty!

She was far better than this little flat-chested girl; she had a massive advantage, at least enough to... OiO little A-Jiu.

"Come, Na'er, step forward and introduce yourself to your Leng-jie. Don't be afraid, Yaozhu-jie is a very kind person."

Na'er took a deep breath. Though naturally shy, she summoned all her courage to step forward. Subconsciously, she felt she had to do this, or she might miss out on something incredibly precious.

"Leng, Leng-jie, hello! Nice to meet you, my name is Na'er, and I am Old Su's child bride!"

She looked straight at Leng Yaozhu, her eyes devoid of any fear.

After the introduction, she immediately scurried back behind Su Jiu like a little chick.

"Crack..."

It seemed as if something had shattered in the air.

"Haha... Yaozhu-jie, I didn't lie to you, did I? My little child bride didn't embarrass our Leng family, right!"

"Crack!"

It seemed to have shattered significantly again; this time, Leng Yaozhu's heart broke into three pieces.

Bug, get out of the way!

Su Jiu didn't notice the change in Leng Yaozhu's expression and quietly moved to her side, catching sight of the exquisite, blue-gold-trimmed booklet in her hand.

On the cover of the invitation, the words "Wedding Invitation" were written in large, bright red characters, with the names "Chen Xinjie" and "Long Yeyue" standing out prominently on either side.

Huh?!!!

Chen, Old Man Chen and Long Yeyue are getting married?!

No way!

Has Old Man Chen's "Simp Cultivation Manual" fast-forwarded straight to Grand Perfection?

Don't make your Brother Jiu laugh!

If Su Jiu remembered correctly, this Shrek City's Long Yeyue and Old Man Chen only got together after the Abyss Plane crisis ended. Why had their plotline advanced by nearly 20 years?

Su Jiu quickly realized: could it be that the shot he fired using Flame Demon Roar had caused the minor plot to collapse?

But upon second thought, Su Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. The current plot was still within the stages he was familiar with; no major changes had occurred, and everything remained under control.

"Sea God Family, in three days?"

"Yaozhu-jie! For our Leng family, with this wedding and Na'er, she..."

Su Jiu sized up Na'er, who looked like a little potato; she didn't seem to be 1.2 meters tall yet—free admission!

"The wealthy Old Man Chen probably won't be too stingy; one meal should be affordable."

"O-okay, whatever A-Jiu says..."

Leng Yaozhu responded to Su Jiu with a forced smile. She couldn't very well hold a grudge against a little brat; as the older one, she had to be magnanimous and broad-minded!

Thinking of this, her expression toward Na'er changed instantly. Had Su Jiu noticed, he would have immediately recognized it as the look of the girl-next-door he knew best.

"Na'er, look at you, you're like a little kitten. Come, let Jie-jie wash you up; a clean and tidy Na'er is even more lovable."

Na'er hesitated, immediately looking down at A-Jiu in her arms to seek its opinion.

"Na'er, A-Jiu thinks Leng-jie is very kind, it should be fine. Go ahead, A-Jiu will wait for you at the door..."

"O-okay. A-Jiu, don't go too far from Na'er..."

A-Jiu affectionately rubbed against Na'er's cheek—it was cold, but Na'er didn't reject it; instead, she liked it very much.

After Na'er walked inside, Su Jiu picked up A-Jiu and let out a silent sigh at the doorway.

It seemed the bond between Na'er and his "skin" was still too deep, yet he dared not expose the truth directly. After all, Little Silver Dragon did not currently hold a favorable view of humanity, and A-Jiu had only established a familial relationship with her under the guise of being an extraterrestrial mechanical lifeform.

If she were to discover the truth and Big Silver Dragon just blew up? That would be a disaster...

It seemed the only way forward was for A-Jiu to keep "backstabbing" Na'er, forcing her to give in.

A moment later, Na'er, having washed away the dust, changed into a small, pristine white dress and spun lightly on her tiptoes before A-Jiu.

The white hem of her skirt flared in a soft arc, an innocent and radiant smile spreading across her eyes, and her bell-like laughter filled the small courtyard.

She took dainty steps, dancing with movements that were still somewhat unrefined, like a little sprite fluttering freely within the small garden.

"A-Jiu, you have a great eye~ I've decided to accept this little sister."

Leng Yaozhu didn't say "sister-in-law," but instead called her "little sister" directly, growing more satisfied with Na'er the more she looked at her.

Actually, having one more sister was fine; the Leng Family could afford to support her.

"Sister Yaozhu, thank you for your kind words..."

Shrek Academy, by the shores of Sea God Lake.

A handsome, refined young man with a gentle and reserved temperament knelt there, while a stunningly beautiful and elegant woman stood beside him, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Brother Ming, get up. You've been kneeling for over a month now; Tianjuan must have seen your sincerity by now."

"No!"

"Li'er, I will kneel until their wedding is over! It is my unfilial nature and incompetence that allowed Master to suffer this indignity even after his passing. I have failed Master!"

"Sigh... then Brother Ming, I shall represent Shrek Academy at the wedding in three days..."

Once the words were spoken, Sea God Island returned to its usual tranquility, with only those on the inside knowing what had truly transpired.

A month ago, Chen Xinjie had boasted under the Golden Ancient Tree that on the day of his wedding, under the witness of the late Tianjuan, he would marry his widow, Long Yeyue. He had promised to protect her for the rest of her days, grant her a lifetime of happiness, and hoped to receive his dear friend's silent blessing.

But all of this had been ruined by a furious Yun Ming. Yun Ming had defied all opposition, using his Heaven-Propping power to stir the vast seas that day, and had blasted Old Man Chen right out of Shrek Academy.
