Douluo: Shocked, the Most Beautiful Bride Qian Renxue!

The noisy chatter of the street was incessant:

"Look, that's Li Jiutian from the finals! I heard he beat the Shrek Seven Devils until they were running for their lives!"

"If only the heavens would grant me a boyfriend like that!"

"Is that Luo Zixuan next to him? She's so beautiful, she doesn't lose out to my goddess Hu Liena at all!"

Hearing these discussions, Li Jiutian merely shook his head helplessly and whispered, "It seems I'll have to wear sunglasses when I go out from now on."

Just then, a stunning young girl walked up to Li Jiutian and said, "You really are so handsome. Would I have the honor of having a meal with you?"

The girl had long blue hair draped behind her, and her eyes were blue as well.

Her features were incredibly delicate, and she wore a tight-fitting white uniform that perfectly outlined her figure.

In terms of appearance, she was in no way inferior to the three beauties of Shrek.

"Aren't you Shui Yue'er, the vice-captain of Tianshui Academy?" Li Jiutian asked, puzzled.

"I didn't expect you to know me. What an honor!"

Shui Yue'er said excitedly; ever since that final match, she had become one of Li Jiutian's many fans.

"I just finished grocery shopping and am heading home to eat with my sister. Would you like to join us?"

Li Jiutian said, looking at the cute girl before him without a hint of annoyance.

"Re... really?"

"That would be absolutely wonderful!"

Shui Yue'er said excitedly, then followed closely behind him.

Inside Bright Villa.

"Goodness, what a huge house! Don't you feel lonely living here with just the two of you?"

"Is this ceiling made of solid gold?"

"How many gold soul coins did you spend on this villa?"

After entering the room, Shui Yue'er's little mouth didn't stop for a second, filled with all sorts of exclamations.

"Sister Yue'er, why don't you sit down and rest for a bit? My brother will have the food ready in no time!"

Luo Zixuan said helplessly.

"Chicken soup is here!"

Li Jiutian, wearing a pink apron, brought a large bowl of chicken soup to the dining table.

"Pfft, Brother Tian, you're actually wearing a pink apron!"

Shui Yue'er covered her mouth and burst into laughter.

"Ugh, that apron is mine. My brother was just too lazy to buy another one," Luo Zixuan remarked.

The table was soon filled with several hearty dishes.

There were also a few bottles of fine red wine, each worth 20,000 gold soul coins—certainly not something an average person could afford.

The table was spread with Li Jiutian's signature dishes: sweet and sour pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork stewed with vermicelli, Northeast-style cold noodles, braised eggplant, stir-fried dried tofu with chili peppers, braised pork belly, and so on.

"Wow, it smells so good! What kind of cuisine is this? I've never seen it before!"

Shui Yue'er took a deep sniff, and her stomach growled involuntarily.

"Never mind the cuisine, let's eat!"

"May we all achieve great things in the future and keep getting better. Cheers!"

After Li Jiutian finished speaking, he raised his wine glass, and the two women, Luo Zixuan and Shui Yue'er, raised theirs as well.

After the three clinked glasses, they downed the red wine in one gulp.

"Goodness, this red wine goes down so smoothly. The aroma is intoxicating, filled with floral notes, and the taste is full-bodied with a lingering finish."

"This is the best red wine I've ever tasted!"

Shui Yue'er exclaimed.

"If you like it, drink more!"

"Eat up!"

After Li Jiutian spoke, he was the first to take a bite of the dried tofu.

Once the two women took their first bite, they couldn't stop.

"Delicious, it's so delicious!"

Shui Yue'er ate several pieces of braised pork and sweet and sour pork, her mouth covered in grease as she showered him with praise.

In his previous life, Li Jiutian had been a young man from the Northeast, and with his father being a five-star hotel chef, he had been heavily influenced by him and had mastered the art of cooking.

An hour passed.

The dishes on the table had been mostly cleared, and the four bottles of red wine had been finished by the three of them.

Luo Zixuan, whose tolerance was the lowest, was already slumped over the dining table.

Only Shui Yue'er, her face slightly flushed, and Li Jiutian, who looked completely calm, remained.

"I didn't expect you to be such a heavy drinker!"

Li Jiutian popped a peanut into his mouth and chuckled.

"Of course! Who do you think I am? Even Bing'er can't outdrink me!"

Shui Yue'er said confidently, her eyes already shimmering with a faint, starry haze.

Looking at the adorable young girl before him, Li Jiutian shook his head helplessly.

Just then, Shui Yue'er suddenly stood up and sat down on Li Jiutian's lap.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she gazed at him affectionately and said, "Brother Tian, I like you so much. You are my Prince Charming."

"Yue'er, you've had too much to drink. Let me take you back to your room to sleep first!"

Li Jiutian said calmly, thinking to himself, Why is this girl such a lightweight when she drinks? What would happen if she got this drunk outside and ran into bad people?

"I'm not drunk. Brother Tian, you are my idol, my god!"

Shui Yue'er buried her small head against Li Jiutian's chest, her voice soft and sweet.

"This girl!"

Li Jiutian sighed helplessly and stood up, but Shui Yue'er clung to him tightly like a sloth.

"You'll sleep in my guest room for tonight. Don't drink this much ever again!"

Li Jiutian held her slender waist and forcibly laid her down on the bed.

"Don't leave me!"

Just as Li Jiutian was about to stand up, Shui Yue'er grabbed him tightly from behind.

Behind him, he felt a wave of soft, numbing contact.

"Brother Tian, you can do anything you want to me tonight!"

"I want to be your woman!"

As soon as Shui Yue'er finished speaking, her outer garment slid off, leaving her in nothing but her undergarments.

Her incredibly alluring curves were fully exposed before Li Jiutian.

Any man would likely struggle to maintain his composure when teased by such a stunning beauty.

But one sentence from Li Jiutian sent Shui Yue'er plummeting into an icy abyss.

"Yue'er, you are an excellent girl, but you must remember: you and I belong to two different worlds!"

"Don't think about climbing the social ladder; stay grounded and be yourself."

"We can only ever be friends. I'm sorry!"

After saying this, Li Jiutian walked out of the room.

Shui Yue'er was undoubtedly a rare and stunning beauty.

But ever since Li Jiutian arrived on the Douluo Continent, his heart had held only Qian Renxue, and there was no room for anyone else.

That was why Li Jiutian had intentionally said those words—to make Shui Yue'er give up on him completely.

After all, he was not a stallion who thought only with his lower half.

The next morning.

Li Jiutian walked into Shui Yue'er's room again, only to find that she was already gone.

On the table lay a letter:

"Brother Tian, I'm leaving. Thank you for your hospitality yesterday."

"Last night was the happiest day of my life. Although you rejected me, I am not sad."

"I will definitely become even better so that you will fall in love with me in the future!"

Chapter 39: Robbing me? Are you sure?

Pope Hall.

At this moment, there were only two people in the hall: Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.

"Your Majesty the Pope, you summoned me—is there something you need?"

Li Jiutian walked in slowly, looking puzzled.

"Xiao Tian, if you don't mind, you can call me Teacher from now on, just like Nana does."

"I have summoned you here because I want you to accompany Nana to Slaughter City."

Bibi Dong offered a faint smile in response.

"Slaughter City? What kind of place is that?" Li Jiutian feigned confusion.

"In Slaughter City, you cannot use your soul skills; you must rely on your own strength to win one hundred matches."

"After winning one hundred matches, you will enter the Hell Road. Once you pass the trial, you will obtain a domain known as the God of Slaughter Domain!"

"The God of Slaughter Domain can bolster your own aura. Within the domain, the enemy's strength will be weakened by ten percent, while the user will unleash one hundred and ten percent of their power."

"This is merely its basic ability. As your martial soul grows, the ratio will increase further."

"Obtaining this domain will significantly boost your strength, allowing you to contend with opponents of a higher soul power level in the future."

"Currently, on the entire continent, the only ones who have become Gods of Slaughter are Tang Hao and myself. This is the reason I am sending you to Slaughter City."

Bibi Dong raised her beautiful eyes and spoke.

"Teacher, we will certainly obtain the God of Slaughter Domain."

After Hu Liena finished speaking, she stole a glance at Li Jiutian, a faint blush flashing across her small face.

"Xiao Tian, do you have any other questions?" Bibi Dong walked up to him and said calmly.

"Teacher, I have no questions. Tomorrow morning, Nana and I will set off for Slaughter City together."

Li Jiutian nodded slightly to signal his agreement.

Inside Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong's injuries were the lightest, and she woke up the day after the grand finals, but the others were not so fortunate.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing had all remained in a coma for over a month before they finally woke up one after another.
