A Bosom Beauty

"Did the Skyscreen crash?"

Xu Feng watched the Skyscreen spin in circles like a computer. It had been spinning for thirty minutes already, and no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to have crashed.

[Behind every successful man stands an outstanding woman. Next, we will compare the leading characters' bosom beauties.]

"Whoa! I like this one!"

"They must all be top-tier beauties!"

"Don't forget, there'll be arena battles afterward!"

"Whoa, I love watching women fight!"

[First: the eldest daughter of the Hongchen Family, Princess Consort of Qin, Crown Princess, Level Ten Soul Engineer, Empress, Heavenly Empress, the future shared matriarch of all juniors, Meng Hongchen.]

Unlike last time, when it had directly pulled them into the arena for a duel, the Skyscreen actually began showing Meng Hongchen's story this time.

A beautiful young girl with long silver-white hair appeared on the screen. She was Meng Hongchen, the current Crown Princess.

In the Sun Moon Empire, the Hongchen Family was an important part of the empire, and Meng Hongchen was the most dazzling jewel within that family.

Her grandfather, Jing Hongchen, was the master of Mingde Hall. He held a vital nexus of imperial power, and his every word and action could influence the direction of the court.

Yet fate had not treated her especially kindly because of that glory.

When Meng Hongchen and her brother Xiao Hongchen were still infants, their parents both died in a sudden war.

From then on, their grandfather Jing Hongchen poured all his love into the siblings, using his weathered hands to hold up a sky free of wind and rain for them.

Meng Hongchen's personality was not as gentle as her appearance suggested. Deep in her bones was an unyielding stubbornness.

She loved freedom and hated being restrained, especially destinies arranged by others.

Her brother Xiao Hongchen, meanwhile, was obsessed with researching Soul Tools. He often stayed in his workshop for days at a time and hardly ever kept her company.

Meng Hongchen first met Xu Feng at a grand ball.

It was the day Xu Feng had been granted the title of Prince of Qin. As a prince of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Feng was destined to be unable to escape the fate of a political marriage.

On the surface, the ball was held to celebrate his investiture as Prince of Qin. In truth, it was a secret "bride-selection banquet." The empire's upper ranks hoped he would choose a suitable princess consort from among these noble young ladies.

Meng Hongchen hated the feeling of having no control over even her own marriage, as though she were merchandise waiting to be sold at a price.

So, she deliberately wore an exceedingly plain outfit, without a single piece of jewelry, and did not even put on makeup.

Standing among the crowd, she was like an inconspicuous white flower, utterly unremarkable.

Yet fate loved playing tricks. Among all the carefully dressed candidates, Xu Feng's gaze passed through the crowd and fixed firmly on her.

The reason was simple. Xu Feng liked white, and Meng Hongchen's silver-white hair struck straight at his heart.

After becoming the Princess Consort of Qin, Meng Hongchen's life changed dramatically.

She had thought it was merely a political marriage. She only needed to play the role of a dignified and proper princess consort, and her task would be complete.

However, as she spent time with Xu Feng, she gradually discovered that this prince who had not inherited the royal Martial Soul actually possessed a gentle and delicate heart.

He remembered what tea she liked to drink. He draped an outer robe over her when she stayed up late. When she fell silent, he quietly remained by her side without saying a word.

Those little acts of care slowly melted the ice in her heart. Meng Hongchen began to realize that she might have started to like him.

Not long afterward, Xu Feng volunteered to join the army on campaign. On the day he left, Meng Hongchen stood atop the city walls. She did not cry, merely clenched her fists and silently swore that she would become the strongest support behind him.

It was during this period that Meng Hongchen displayed astonishing talent in Soul Tools.

Her brother Xiao Hongchen was a genius at crafting Soul Tools, but Meng Hongchen's talent lay in using them and in actual combat.

It was as if she had been born able to resonate with Soul Tools, capable of bringing their power to its utmost limit.

On the training grounds, she could easily control multiple Soul Tools and attack different targets at the same time. Her speed and accuracy were so great that even Xiao Hongchen had no choice but to admit defeat.

Later, the Xuanwumen Incident occurred. It was the most heart-stopping night in imperial history, a storm that made the scales of power sway violently amid flashing blades and sword shadows.

Xu Feng stood at the crossroads of fate, unable to decide. Once he took that step, there would be no turning back.

At his most wavering moment, Meng Hongchen took his hand. It was this trust that drove all hesitation from Xu Feng's heart. He drew his sword and led his trusted followers into Xuanwu Gate, ultimately turning the tide.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Xu Feng ascended to the peak of power, while Meng Hongchen became the one who commanded the entire rear.

With thunderous methods, she reorganized the harem and kept all the concubines in perfect order. No one dared stir up trouble.

She not only managed the affairs of the harem but also took part in court decisions, using her wisdom to help Xu Feng stabilize the realm.

When Xu Feng officially ascended the throne, she naturally became Empress. More praiseworthy still, she treated every prince and princess equally. Whether born of the empress or a concubine, all were treated with a mother's kindness.

She was not only the Empress of the realm, but also the indisputable matriarch of the entire royal family, earning everyone's respect and love.

In the future, after Xu Feng founded the Celestial Court, she also helped establish the heavenly laws and maintained order and stability.

Although the screen only showed their first meeting and then her support during the Xuanwumen Incident, everyone could see just how important Meng Hongchen was to Xu Feng.

As this introduction ended, Meng Hongchen was summoned onto the arena by a pillar of light.

[Second: the little princess of the Mecha Development Department, one of the Eight Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy, the blonde version of the daughter of destiny, destroyer of generations, Tang Wulin's childhood sweetheart, wife of the Judiciary God, Dai Yun'er.]

A beautiful blonde girl appeared on the Skyscreen. She was Dai Yun'er, the little princess of the Mecha Development Department.

Dai Yun'er's father, Dai Tianling, was the director of the Federal Mecha Development Department, and she was his only beloved daughter.

From the moment she was born, Dai Yun'er had been destined to live amid doting affection, like the moon surrounded by stars.

Every best condition imaginable had been placed before her without reservation.

However, a carefully planned kidnapping shattered Dai Yun'er's peaceful life.

Her father's rivals, seeking to strike at Dai Tianling's influence, bribed insiders and abducted her during a gap in the guards' shift rotation.

Dai Yun'er was stuffed into a modified transport vehicle and jolted all the way across Xingluo Continent, arriving at Douluo Continent, a place she had never visited before.

Fortunately, the kidnappers had underestimated the cleverness of this six-year-old girl. When the guards slackened their vigilance, Dai Yun'er used a small hairpin hidden in her sleeve to pry open the lock and escape.

She curled up in the shadows at a street corner, trembling all over yet biting her lip to keep from crying out. At that moment, a boy carrying a schoolbag passed the alley entrance. It was Tang Wulin, who had just gotten out of school.

When Tang Wulin saw the bedraggled little girl, he did not hesitate and stepped forward to ask what had happened.

With the last of her courage, Dai Yun'er haltingly told him what she had gone through.

Tang Wulin quietly brought her home. After learning the situation, his father Tang Ziran calmly handled everything that followed.

Tang Ziran dealt with all the kidnappers who came after them by himself, cleanly and efficiently, leaving no trace behind.

However, Eastsea City was separated from Dai Yun'er's home by an entire continent. Communications were restricted, and identity information could not be quickly verified across regions.

Tang Ziran tried contacting official channels, but often got nowhere. Left with no alternative, he decided to temporarily take Dai Yun'er in.

That temporary arrangement lasted two years. During those two years, Dai Yun'er gradually learned how ordinary people lived, changing from a pampered little princess.

She went to school and played with Tang Wulin. The two were inseparable, and their feelings grew deeper by the day. They were childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree, living simple yet warm days.

Meanwhile, the Dai Family had long since been thrown into chaos. Dai Tianling mobilized every resource he could, turning all of Xingluo Continent upside down, yet he still could not find any trace of his daughter.

Only two years later did he turn his attention toward Douluo Continent and finally uncover clues in Eastsea City.

When the Dai Family's private aircraft landed at a temporary airport outside Eastsea City, Dai Yun'er was crouching on a riverside rock with Tang Wulin, scooping up tiny fish.

When she looked up and saw her father, she froze for a moment before throwing herself into the embrace she had been separated from for so long, weeping heartbrokenly.

The moment of parting eventually arrived. Dai Yun'er was taken back to Xingluo Continent, and the two made a promise that they would definitely meet again in the future.

Four years later, Tang Wulin was twelve. By some strange twist of fate, he boarded the wrong train. He was supposed to report to Shrek Academy, but somehow ended up at a place called Monster Academy.

As he stood at the academy gates with his luggage, looking utterly lost, a familiar figure emerged from the crowd.

Dai Yun'er recognized Tang Wulin at once. The childhood sweethearts who had been apart for so long met again, and with the added element of a fated reunion, their relationship naturally warmed rapidly.

Dai Yun'er's footage showed the loneliness she had felt when she was kidnapped, as well as her meeting and reunion with Tang Wulin.

This plain and ordinary affection lacked a little grandeur, but sometimes, ordinary was what was real.

"What about me?!"

After seeing the Skyscreen pull Dai Yun'er in as well, Tang San finally voiced his objection. Those two were the wives of the protagonists from Douluo II Spacetime and Douluo III Spacetime, so what about him?

[Following Skyscreen review, Tang San had no wife throughout his life. Therefore, he will not participate in this round.]

"What?! What kind of joke is that? I obviously have Xiao Wu! Wait, where's Xiao Wu?"

Only then did Tang San realize that he seemed not to have seen Xiao Wu since returning. Where had Xiao Wu gone?

"Pah!"

Xiao Wu felt disgusted just looking at Tang San now. His father had actually been a Titled Douluo, so her identity must have been exposed long ago.

A Titled Douluo had not immediately killed her, so he must have been raising her up for Tang San to kill in the future.

At the thought of Tang San pretending they had such a deep sibling bond when his true goal had been her Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, she felt a wave of nausea.
