Matters Before the Wedding

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and today was the grand wedding day of Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue.

Su Jiu's cultivation had currently reached the Super Douluo realm. There was absolutely no need for him to develop in the shadows any longer; he would use this opportunity to ride the coattails of others and announce to the world that the era of Su Jiu, a time for him to lead the way and command the mountains and rivers, had arrived!

"Grinning from early in the morning—could it be that something wonderful has happened?"

Leng Yaozhu smoothed out the cowlick on the top of Su Jiu's head that was acting up. A hint of pride appeared at the corners of her mouth; Su Jiu (her husband) looked much more pleasing to the eye now.

"Hehe, you'll know when the time comes."

"Yes, yes, yes. A-Jiu has his own little secrets now and won't even tell his sister. Sister is so heartbroken..."

As she spoke, Leng Yaozhu handed the specially prepared formal attire to Su Jiu with a cold expression, then resumed her stern sisterly demeanor:

"Hey! I'm telling you now, make sure you look decent when you wear this. Don't embarrass our Leng Family."

"Yes, yes, I know, Sister. You go out first, I'm going to change..."

Leng Yaozhu smiled inwardly and quietly licked the corner of her lips. Still acting shy?

In any case, she had already seen everything there was to see and eaten everything there was to eat; the only thing left was that final 0.01 ultra-thin layer of her own.

Now she just needed the right moment to devour him completely while he still had his wits about him. She had already come to terms with it anyway—a forced melon might not be sweet, but it was certainly thirst-quenching. Hehehe~

"Sister, don't you worry. With my foundation, I'll make sure outsiders are envious of our Leng Family!"

Leng Yaozhu's delicate body stiffened. Su Jiu was right; this seemed to be one of the points that attracted her. Su Jiu's appearance truly hit her aesthetic, especially those eyes of his that appeared ink-black without light and shimmered with gold when hit by it. Looking closely, they seemed filled with a mysterious Eastern charm!

"A-Jiu, don't brag too much~"

Na'er's room.

"Wow! Na'er, you look so cool, you're practically a little white prince who walked out of a fairy tale!"

A-Jiu flew around Na'er, secretly snapping a few photos, planning to let the nine A-Jius ride Na'er like a big horse in the future.

"Heehee~ A-Jiu, you're so thoughtful. Wearing a little dress is just too cumbersome. Let's just go over there and mooch off the food and drink..."

Na'er had heard that the Sea God Family was famous for its abundance of precious seafood. She had skipped breakfast on purpose, her little belly flat, planning to go to the Sea God Family to stock up later.

What if outsiders pointed fingers?

The clever A-Jiu gave Na'er a tip: if that happened, she should just blurt out that 'Na'er is the child bride of Leng Wuduan (Su Jiu's alias)'. Anyway, it would be Old Su's face being lost, so what did it have to do with her?

A-Jiu was truly worthy of being the exclusive dog-headed strategist for King Na'er! A-Jiu is the GOAT!

A-Jiu: Hehehe~

South Sea City, Sea God Family headquarters.

Today, the Sea God Family was decked out in lanterns and streamers, with blue and gold banners representing the vast ocean hanging inside and out, all bearing blessings for the 'newlyweds' about to enter the bridal chamber.

Looking toward the back, the most eye-catching sight was the Golden Trident (replica) that symbolized the Sea God Family.

The thousand-foot-tall shaft stood majestically, piercing the clouds with an awe-inspiring aura!

Hanging in the center of the shaft was a massive portrait. Tang San, the Sea God, looked solemn and dignified, his divine might imposing; even from thousands of meters away, he was instantly recognizable.

And on the trident blades to the left and right of the Sea God's portrait were the protagonists of today's grand ceremony: Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue.

This was an old tradition of the Sea God Family, a romance and fantasy unique to every member of the family. However, only those who had made significant contributions to the Sea God Family could enjoy such an honor. Ordinary people could only look on with envy and offer their most sincere blessings to this pair of lovebirds.

Early in the morning, Old Man Chen's legs were trembling, his white teeth bared, and the dark circles under his eyes were so thick they couldn't be hidden. He staggered, one hand leaning against the wall, his right hand clutching his aching kidneys, fully displaying the frailty of an old man.

Ever since he learned a year ago that Long Yeyue was about to die, Old Man Chen had been plunged into darkness. This had to be a joke, right?

Based on his understanding of Long Yeyue, she should have had at least another 20 years to live. You're telling me she's passing away? Wasn't this just pure trickery against an old man?

Refusing to believe it, Chen Xinjie flew to Shrek Academy immediately, only to find it was true!

When Chen Xinjie saw Long Yeyue, who was on the verge of death, she was withered and gaunt, her face pale and gray, her eyes hollow without a glimmer of light, her breathing so weak it was almost imperceptible. She was down to her last breath, the flame of life ready to extinguish at any moment.

Especially her right hand—it was actually gone?!

Chen Xinjie flared with rage on the spot, but immediately wilted.

There was no other reason; he was afraid that if he accidentally shocked Long Yeyue, she would die, and then he would be finished.

"A-Jie, I... I want to live... I... I don't want to die..."

When Long Yeyue saw that the person before her was Chen Xinjie, she immediately erupted with a desperate desire to survive. She hadn't lived enough of her life as the Supreme Empress, second only to none in Shrek! She didn't want to die!

Seeing the clear tears overflowing from the corners of Long Yeyue's eyes—the first time she had ever shed them for him—Chen Xinjie also shed tears of heartache on the spot. Even a tough man had his tender side, especially when facing his white moonlight!

Without any hesitation, he promised Long Yeyue that he would make her live!

Seeing Chen Xinjie agree, the various elders of Shrek Academy sighed in relief, as if they had finally gotten rid of a troublesome burden.

Life Sharing Contract!

Yes, it was exactly that—a Life Sharing Contract. They hadn't lived enough of their own good days yet; who would want to have a large portion of their life force drained by this dying, unrelated old hag? They weren't brain-damaged!

It was perfect that this big sucker had arrived just in time.

And during this period, Long Yeyue had also seen through the hearts of men; the world was cold and fickle.

If A-Jie could save her, she would marry him. Staying in Shrek was no longer necessary; she would remain the supreme ruler in the Sea God Family regardless.

The two immediately signed a Life Sharing Contract. Long Yeyue's cheeks gradually filled out and regained their rosy glow, as if she were being inflated, her entire body becoming plump once more, though the hand that had been struck off would never return.

Later, during their first intimate encounter, Long Yeyue was astonished to discover that his essence could actually enhance her vitality even further, reversing her menopause!

They say there is no such thing as a barren field, only an exhausted ox.

After more than a month of continuous, frantic draining, Old Man Chen simply couldn't take it anymore!

Even though the youthful Long Yeyue was breathtakingly beautiful, her eyes like pools of water, possessing an innate, bone-deep tenderness, every smile and glance radiating a soul-captivating charm that left Old Man Chen defenseless and unable to extricate himself.

Yet, she was like a bottomless abyss; no matter how much he poured in with his Vast Sea Martial Soul, it seemed impossible to fill her. His Vast Sea was nearly squeezed dry into a tiny pond, and he had almost died in that bed of gentleness.

Today was the day of his grand wedding with Long Yeyue. Having already indulged for an entire night, he couldn't go on like this any longer.

Chen Xinjie approached the Sea God Helmet and extracted a sliver of its dense divine power. In an instant, his energy and spirit were fully restored, and he was once again the refreshed and invigorated Vast Sea Douluo!

He walked to the designated dressing room to change into his wedding attire. Thinking of Long Yeyue wearing a wedding dress just for him, he couldn't stop grinning.
