Leng Wuduan

Chen Xinjie immediately summoned his son, Chen Zeyu. He looked so much like Old Man Chen that the more Chen Xinjie looked at him, the more pleased he felt. His eyes and brows brimmed with a father's love.

Sixty years old, a rank-97 Super Douluo, at the Spirit Domain Realm, a three-word Battle Armor Master, and a general... He had earned all of it through his own efforts. Not bad at all.

The only fly in the ointment was that he was far too low-key in his daily life. As a result, he still wasn't married, and the Chen family had no heir. Chen Xinjie was worried sick over it.

This was the perfect opportunity to introduce the next head of the Sea God Family to the world and arrange a marriage for Chen Zeyu.

"Xiaoyu, you don't resent your father, do you?"

"Father, I'd be lying if I said I didn't resent you. You found your own path to happiness, and I'm happy for you. But at the very least, after you married, you should've gone to apologize to Mother..."

"Haha, as long as you understand, Xiaoyu. I'll personally go to Aiqin's grave and beg her forgiveness afterward. And I'm putting you in charge of the wedding arrangements, Xiaoyu."

With that, Chen Xinjie patted Chen Zeyu on the shoulder and stepped outside.

At eleven in the morning, guests streamed through the entrance to the Sea God Family's residence. They were all influential figures in the Soul Master World: Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, the Spirit Pagoda, the Federal War God Temple, the Qiangu Family, the Leng Family, the Angel Family, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Seven Great Legions...

The gifts they'd brought were nearly enough to block the entrance.

It was only natural. This was the wedding of two Limit Douluos. The groom was the exalted master of the War God Temple, commander of the Sea God Legion, head of the Sea God Family, and the current Sea God Douluo. The bride was the deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion and the widow of its previous master.

Though the wedding lacked all decency and had openly slapped Shrek Academy in the face, the proper formalities still had to be observed, and the juicy gossip was too good to miss. Everyone was more than happy to be there.

"Su, Na'er's hungry. A-Jiu and I are going to get something to eat."

Na'er sounded pitiful, one little hand covering her stomach as her eyes locked onto the seafood at the food table. The little glutton was practically drooling.

Su Jiu set Na'er down, patted her soft little head, and smiled warmly.

"Go ahead. If you run into trouble you can't handle, call me. Your Sister Leng and I will both be right here."

"Okay~! A-Jiu, let's go!"

Su Jiu's mouth twitched. So she'd only heard the first two words. Eating was all she cared about.

"A-Jiu, we agreed: you're my fiancé today. You have to turn away all the people who come to propose to me, or I'll have a headache."

"Hehe, leave it to me. Sister Yao Zhu, if you say you don't want to get married, then we won't. No one can force you!"

"Hehe, hubby, you're the best! Mwah~"

Huh???

Su Jiu was stunned by Leng Yaozhu's move. Weren't they supposed to be pretending? Wasn't this going a little too far?

While he was still dazed, Leng Yaozhu gently hooked her arm through his and leaned her whole body against him. The soft, springy sensation made Su Jiu's old face turn red.

Sister Yao Zhu's... her assets really were abundant...

Leng Yaozhu gave him a teasing smile. This was the most effective way to deal with a young man who'd only just fallen in love. She tightened her arm around his a little more.

"Come on, hubby. If you want me, I'll satisfy you tonight~"

"Y-Yao Zhu..."

"Call me 'wife'!"

"W-Wife, you're joking, right?"

In Su Jiu's eyes, this was no longer the usual gentle, virtuous Sister Yao Zhu. This was a full-blown seductive wife, a succubus! Her destructive power was no less than that of two Little Boys!

"Oh~, if that's what you think, then sure..."

"Haha~ I'm teasing you. Make sure you do well later!"

Wedding hall.

The Leng Family's seats were right beside Shrek Academy's. The ones representing Shrek Academy this time were Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li and Shrek's Little Moon, Cai Yue'er.

"Hey, Yaozhu, who's this?"

From the moment Ya Li entered the hall, she'd noticed the black-haired man beside Leng Yaozhu. He stood over eight feet tall and was handsome, his eyes and brows brimming with the youth she envied. His dark eyes especially seemed to conceal countless mysteries.

They were acting intimately. When Leng Yaozhu looked at him, her long phoenix eyes brimmed with tender affection, all of it meant for this black-haired man alone.

Could it be that younger sister Yaozhu had found her other half?

"Oh, it's Ya Li and Yue'er. Come, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Leng Wuduan."

From Leng Yaozhu's tone, Ya Li immediately knew she wasn't pretending. This was real!

She recognized the pride and boastfulness in those words. She'd once felt the same when Yun Ming chose her, appearing before all the other rejected women.

"Tsk! He's probably just some pretty boy she picked up somewhere. A woman old enough to be his mother, chasing a young man—and putting on airs, too!"

"Yue'er! You... Yaozhu, Wuduan, Yue'er just spoke without thinking. She didn't mean..."

Though Ya Li tried to stop her in time, it was already too late.

Su Jiu and Leng Yaozhu were both displeased. As expected, Cai Yue'er really did have a mouth like a dog's.

"Cai Yue'er, right? My Yaozhu is taken, and I love her. Unlike you, still a miserable simp for Yun Ming. You know you can't hold a candle to Her Holiness Holy Spirit in any way, yet you keep clinging to that absurd, impossible fantasy. I have to hand it to you—your perseverance is something else~"

"Cai Yue'er, you should go home and sleep it off. You can have anything you want in your dreams."

Their words struck at the reality Cai Yue'er least wanted to face. Her eyes turned bloodshot in an instant, and she began panting like a bull. She couldn't beat Leng Yaozhu, but surely she could beat this pretty boy!

"Pretty boy, didn't your family teach you to lower your head and watch your mouth when you encounter a strong opponent? I'll teach you how to speak properly in their place!"

"Heh~ I know how to speak to people and ghosts alike! And I can see exactly what you are. Besides, do you really think you count as a strong opponent, Cai Yue'er?"

"Smack!"

Cai Yue'er slammed her palm onto the table, instantly drawing everyone's attention. The moment they saw it was Cai Yue'er, they understood. Whenever she showed up, there was bound to be a spectacle!

This trip had definitely been worth it!

"Outrageous! Pretty boy, do you dare follow me to the arena and put on a show for His Holiness Sea God Douluo's wedding?"

"That's enough, Yue'er. Stop it!"

Ya Li felt utterly exhausted. Cai Yue'er, give it a rest! This whole affair was already making Shrek look bad, and now you're pulling this stunt too. Do you want to give everyone even more reason to laugh at us?

"Sure~ I'd like to see for myself what kind of standard a Titled Douluo trained by Shrek Academy can reach. I hope you don't disappoint me."

"Go easy on her, okay?"

Leng Yaozhu added this at just the right moment. She was speaking to Su Jiu, not Cai Yue'er. It wouldn't be appropriate to cripple someone in a setting like this.

Ya Li had finally reached her breaking point. Seriously, Yaozhu, you wanted this young man in his twenties to fight a Super Douluo? You really did have a lot of faith in him.

Forget it. She didn't want to get involved anymore. She was exhausted.

"Here, Na'er. A-Jiu picked out all the Ruby Prawns. These are good stuff, so eat these first."

"Hehe~ A-Jiu, you're the best! Then I won't hold back."

Na'er sniffed at them with her little nose. She could tell the prawns were good stuff, and her face lit up with delight.

If only A-Jiu could eat too. They could eat together, and Na'er would be even happier.
