Mu Ye ruined the mood
About ten minutes later.
Ten highly respected individuals, selected by the delegations from both continents, walked to the center of the banquet stage. Among them were two people whom Jiang Mingyuan and his group were very familiar with.
Zhuo Shi and Cai Yue'er.
To Tang Wulin's surprise, Uncle Mu Ye was not selected.
Could it be that Uncle Mu Ye really did board the ship as a cook?
"I am Zhuoshi, the Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi Shrek Academy. I am delighted to be a judge at this event, which represents the friendship between our two continents. Now, I will announce the results of the judging: the top three best-dressed men. Please be quiet."
"The third place winner in the Best Dressed Man category at this social event is Yue Zhengyu from the Douluo Continent and Shrek Academy."
"The second place goes to Chu Motian from the Monster Academy of the Star Luo Continent."
"The first place winner is Tang Wulin from the Shrek Academy in the Douluo Continent."
As Zhuo Shi finished speaking, he nodded at Tang Wulin with an approving look.
Yue Zhengyu was still somewhat unconvinced, but this was a selection of best dressed, not about wearing the most flashy clothes; it was more about matching one's personal style.
Next, Cai Yue'er announced the top three best-dressed women.
The third place went to a girl Lin Yuhan from the Star Luo Continent.
Second place went to Wu Siduo.
The first place winner is Jiang Mingyuan.
Unfortunately, Jiang Mingyuan appeared relatively late, but his appearance immediately drew everyone's attention and left a lasting first impression. Not to mention, no one on the ship could match Jiang Mingyuan's looks. Becoming number one was truly well-deserved.
Next, the other judges announced the winners of the most handsome men and the most beautiful women.
The two people who received the most votes were: Yue Zhengyu and Jiang Mingyuan.
It's worth mentioning that Wu Changkong narrowly lost to Yue Zhengyu by one vote.
According to random interviews with some women who voted, they didn't vote for Wu Changkong because they saw a funny guy next to him and assumed he was a husband with a child.
And surprisingly, the final "Best Dance Move" award went to the combination of Yuanen Yehui and Xu Xiaoyan.
Jiang Mingyuan and Tang Wulin's combination didn't even make it into the top twenty.
There was no way around it; after all, the two of them were initially in the most central and eye-catching position in the banquet hall. Tang Wulin's suspicion that he almost made his dance partner vomit hadn't been cleared up in front of everyone.
Late at night, Jiang Mingyuan watched the waves gradually rise outside the window. He gently rubbed Jiang Xiaoyue, who was fast asleep in bed, and quietly put on his shoes before going out.
Tang Wulin was not asleep either.
Perhaps there really is some kind of telepathic connection, because the two of them surprisingly made the same movements.
When Jiang Mingyuan closed the door and turned around, he saw Tang Wulin looking at him with a gentle gaze.
"Brother Yuan."
"Wulin."
The distance between the two gradually shortened, and they each stretched out their hands, interlocked their fingers, and looked at each other face to face.
"How about we go up to the deck?"
"Good."
Jiang Mingyuan stood at the very front of the ship, holding onto the railing with both hands, his small face slightly tilted up, letting the sea breeze blow his long hair wildly.
Tang Wulin approached from behind, gently put his arm around Jiang Mingyuan's waist, and stood quietly behind Jiang Mingyuan without saying a word.
Jiang Mingyuan slowly opened her arms, facing the vast sea and the wind. She leaned back slightly, and Tang Wulin supported her with his arm at just the right moment.
"Tang Wulin, I..."
Jiang Mingyuan spoke softly, his voice carried away by the wind. Tang Wulin didn't quite catch the last part of his sentence, but he understood.
Just then, a group of fish leaped out of the water.
"Wulin, look! How happily and freely they're swimming!"
Against the backdrop of the deep night, the Full Moon, ships, shimmering sea, and leaping fish combine to create a harmonious and beautiful scene.
However, a hidden danger was quietly approaching.
"Hahahaha!" A rough and hearty laugh rang out.
A man, an incredibly muscular man with a bare upper body, leaped out of the water, clutching the tail of a fish twice the size of himself.
The tranquility of the night was completely shattered.
"It's Uncle Mu Ye!" Tang Wulin excitedly pointed to the man chasing the school of fish. Who else could it be but Mu Ye, the Body Sect?
Mu Ye seemed to notice someone watching him, turned around, and immediately saw Jiang Mingyue and Tang Wulin standing at the bow of the boat.
"It's Wulin and the little girl! How was it? Did you have a good time at the party tonight? Haha. Wulin, do you have any room in your belly? Look at this big fish, how about another late-night snack tonight?"
A black line appeared on Jiang Mingyuan's forehead.
She forced a smile onto her face, but secretly, her hand gripped Tang Wulin's waist.
Tang Wulin originally wanted to say that he wasn't full, but after Jiang Mingyuan pinched him, what he said changed completely.
"I... Ah, Uncle Mu Ye. No need. I've already eaten enough at the banquet, and my stomach really can't hold anything more. You can continue catching fish; we should go back to sleep."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Mu Ye completely bewildered.
"This young man."
Back in Tang Wulin's room, Jiang Mingyuan sat on the bed without any hesitation.
Jiang Mingyuan kicked off his shoes, hugged his knees, and swayed back and forth like a roly-poly toy. He pouted his round little mouth, looking rather unhappy.
"Brother Yuan, don't be angry. Mu Ye is just that kind of enthusiastic person, haha."
"I'm not angry," Jiang Mingyuan continued, pouting.
"Brother Yuan, it's really hard to believe you're like this." Tang Wulin reached out and poked Jiang Mingyuan's cheek.
Brother Yuan looks so cute.
"Stop poking me, or I'll bite you!"
I was angry, but my mood had been ruined.
Jiang Mingyuan quickly regained her composure and looked at Tang Wulin.
Inside the cabin, Tang Wulin took off his outer garment, leaving only a close-fitting vest that accentuated his strong and powerful physique.
"Wulin."
Tang Wulin was pouring water when he heard the call and turned around to answer.
"What's wrong, Brother Yuan?"
Jiang Mingyuan thought to himself, no matter why he approached Tang Wulin in the first place, the two of them are now tied together. Wulin becoming stronger will also benefit him.
Although most of his memories of his past life were vague, Jiang Mingyuan still remembered some of Tang Wulin's growth path.
"Didn't Uncle Mu Ye ask you to learn from him before? Just go ahead. After all, the Body Sect is skilled in body tempering and utilizing the Bloodline Power. It's better than you slowly figuring it out while swinging a hammer."
Tang Wulin was somewhat surprised. In the first few days of this semester, Master Zhuo Shi had already taught him a unique skill he had created. He was currently practicing that. Why was Brother Yuan suddenly bringing up Uncle Mu Ye's matter again?
"Listen to me, it won't hurt."
Tang Wulin sat down next to Jiang Mingyuan with a bowl of warm water and handed it to her, looking every bit the gentle husband.
"Okay. Whatever you say. After all, you're mine..."
Jiang Mingyuan counted on his fingers, trying to figure out what other opportunities might be available on the mainland.
Dragon Valley in the Star Luo Empire, which they were about to reach, was one such place, but that was Na'er's family matter. Jiang Mingyuan couldn't bring himself to ask Tang Wulin to get involved.
There's no need to rush with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. As expected, Tang Wulin will become the sect leader of the Tang Sect in the future, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will then be theirs.
There's also the Golden Tree. I've already seized this opportunity, but I should be able to extract a little more energy from it.
As for Devil Island.
Jiang Mingyuan found it truly amusing.
Good grief, your Shrek Academy sent a bunch of people up there to their deaths. Now that they've died there, Devil Island is Automatic yours.
We'll go over and examine it carefully sometime. Maybe those two people who perished left something behind.
In the original novel, Wulin's ending was truly tragic.
Having used up most of his life's worth of Golden Dragon King power, Blue Silver Grass was already useless, and yet he was given the most unsuitable position of God of Destruction God Position.
With the Golden Dragon King Bloodline gone, Tang Wulin's blood power was first reduced, and his useless Golden Dragon Nine Forms were also completely useless.
In the end, only the Body Technique that Mu Ye taught him could be considered his own.
Jiang Mingyuan turned to look at Tang Wulin, a hint of pity in his eyes.
