"Grandmaster, someone's just playing a prank. You really believe this?"
"How could someone as wise and clever as you fall for something like that?"
"I think you should stop praying here. It won't do any good!"
Ma Hongjun patted the fat on his belly, sneered, and found a spot to sit down.
They'd been running all morning. He'd sweated off several pounds.
All the precious fat he'd painstakingly put on was about to be burned away.
If he slimmed down, what if Ru Hua, who was infatuated with him, fell for someone else?
"Shut your trap!"
"It's because I'm clever that I can tell this is real."
"Keep running your mouth, and I'll make you do extra training. Ten more laps!"
Yu Xiaogang spat angrily, barely restraining himself from smacking him.
What a foul mouth!
How could someone as knowledgeable as him be wrong?
A spectacle this grand wasn't something an ordinary person could create.
"Quiet, the rankings are here!"
Dai Mubai, who'd spent his life among countless beauties, was interested in the list too.
Though the list certainly wouldn't include a playboy like him, it could tell him who would make the cut.
If Zhu Zhuqing made the list, wouldn't that prove she'd always had him in her heart?
Then he wouldn't need to keep hiding his feelings. He could take her to bed tonight.
[Love Saint Ranking TOP 1: Duan Changsheng.]
[He can make the women who love him deeply abandon everything—a rare sight in all the ages!]
Duan Changsheng?
Who was that?
Never heard of him!
Was there someone like that on the continent?
They'd really give him a million-year Soul Bone?
This had to be fake!
"Dad, look! You're at the top of the Love Saint Ranking!"
"You really are the best dad ever!"
"We have to eat something special tonight to celebrate and honor my late mom!"
When Wang Yuyan saw her father's name, she leaped up with delight.
She wasn't happy because of the million-year Soul Bone reward. She was happy because her father had been devoted to her mother.
"Uh, Yuyan, don't get excited. This list has to be fake. You can't trust it!"
Duan Changsheng awkwardly rubbed his nose, at a loss for words.
What the hell was this Sky Screen?
This was ridiculous.
He'd lived on Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years and had been with more women than he could count. How could he be a love saint?
Sure, he'd been sincere in every relationship, and all the women had fallen for him and been willing to give everything for him.
But that didn't mean he deserved the title of top love saint.
This Sky Screen clearly misunderstood what "love saint" meant!
Wang Yuyan wasn't listening. She went into the kitchen and got to work.
They had to celebrate properly today.
"I knew Duan Lang only loved me."
"Duan Lang, where are you? Xue'er is your child, actually!"
When Bibi Dong saw Duan Changsheng at the top of the list, tears welled in her eyes.
(Note: In this story, Qian Xunji never forced himself on Bibi Dong. That was all an act put on by Bibi Dong. The reason she treated Qian Renxue poorly, and why Qian Renxue has a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, will be revealed in the story.)
"Big Brother Changsheng, it's been a hundred years. I thought you were dead. Why didn't you come to Sea God Island to find me?"
When Bo Saixi learned Duan Changsheng was still alive, tears of joy streamed down her face.
She'd once believed that Duan Changsheng had died of old age, and that was why they'd never met again.
"Brother Changsheng, I've been waiting for you at Moonlight Pavilion all this time."
"Have you forgotten? This is where we first met."
"You were the one who came up with the name Moonlight Pavilion."
Tang Yuehua cried, wishing she could throw herself into Duan Changsheng's arms at once.
"Brother Sheng, you've always loved me deeply. The Sky Screen can prove it."
"Twenty years have passed. Why are you still avoiding me?"
"It was all a misunderstanding back then. Yu Xiaogang and I had nothing between us."
"I turned him down long ago. He was the one who wouldn't stop pestering me!"
Liu Erlong couldn't wait to find Duan Changsheng and explain everything to him.
But she had no idea where he was.
Endless guilt and longing felt like ten thousand Love Gu Insects gnawing at her heart.
The torment was comparable to Love Flower Poison, and it had driven her nearly mad.
"Damn it, who's this Duan Changsheng, daring to compete with me for the top spot?"
"Is he as devoted to love as I am?"
"My theories on love are unrivaled!"
"Fine, fine. He can have first place. I'll settle for the top three."
Yu Xiaogang grumbled, his face full of indignation.
"Xiao Wu, I'm sure I'll make the top three. Don't worry!"
Tang San was a little dejected. After all, first place came with a million-year Soul Bone.
All he could do now was hope for second or third.
[Love Saint Ranking TOP 2: Tang Yuehua!]
[This woman's feelings are sincere and steadfast. There's only one man in her heart, and that will never change!]
Tang Yuehua's appearance on the list caused an uproar and set countless people speculating wildly.
She was the model of refinement for all the nobles on Douluo Continent, renowned across the land for her noble bearing.
Who would have thought such a graceful woman was also so devoted?
"I can't believe my sister got second place!"
"Yuehua, is it because of me?"
"Alas, your second brother was wrong. I shouldn't have let you misunderstand!"
"It's impossible for us to be together!"
"Pah, pah, pah! Tang Hao, what are you thinking? How could you think something like that?"
"You're an animal!"
When Tang Hao saw Tang Yuehua make the list, his heart sank.
But then he realized how vile his thoughts were!
How could Tang Yuehua have been in love with him all this time?
That was absurd!
But so many things seemed to confirm his suspicions.
What was he supposed to do? Should he accept her feelings?
"No wonder she turned down my advances and refused even the position of empress."
"So there's always been someone she loves deeply in her heart."
"Guards, issue an order. Find the man Tang Yuehua loves!"
"I want to see who dares to compete with me for my woman!"
Emperor Xue Ye had been devoted to Tang Yuehua.
Seeing her in second place, and learning that the man she loved wasn't him, immediately enraged him.
He had to find the culprit.
Once he killed that man, Tang Yuehua could fall in love with him.
That was how he understood love!
[Love Saint Ranking TOP 3: Bo Saixi!]
[This woman is faithful and steadfast. She would wait a hundred years for love!]
"Saixi, is that really you?"
"You're the one who's been waiting for me, aren't you?"
"I never knew I'd always been in your heart!"
"Saixi, wait for me. I'm coming to find you!"
"I'll stay by your side forever!"
Qian Daoliu shot into the air, racing toward Sea God Island at incredible speed.
Far away in Slaughter City, Tang Chen saw Bo Saixi make the list. A surge of energy suddenly coursed through him, and memories from his past gradually returned.
Only now did he realize who he really was.
"So I'm not the King of Slaughter. I founded the Clear Sky Sect, and I'm the strongest person on Douluo Continent."
"Saixi has been waiting for me. I can't keep wasting away here. I have to go find her!"
Remembering his time with Bo Saixi, Tang Chen abandoned Slaughter City, spread his wings, and flew as fast as he could toward Sea God Island.
"Damn it, I didn't even make the top three!"
"What kind of Heavenly Dao is this? It's not accurate at all!"
"I, Grandmaster, refuse to accept this!"
Yu Xiaogang flew into a rage and pointed at the Sky Screen, cursing it out.
In his mind, he was sure to make the top three.
But the moment he finished cursing, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck him.
In an instant, every hair on Yu Xiaogang's body stood on end, and smoke rose from him.
The lightning wasn't powerful enough to kill him, but it put him through plenty of pain.
His whole body was numb from the shock!
And after that shock, he could never get it up again!
[Yu Xiaogang questioned the Love Saint Ranking in the Heavenly Dao Ranking. He must be punished!]
[If there is a next time, five bolts of lightning will strike him down, destroying both body and soul!]
