Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 46: Lovers will eventually marry, and singles will eventually become emo (please read!)
Looking at Gu Fan's departing back, Shu Yan showed a kind smile like an old father on his face, but this smile disappeared in a flash and then returned to normal.

"Alas, it seems I have a talent for being a matchmaker."

Shu Yan sighed softly. Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo were stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yao'er and Gu Fan have known each other for a long time. I noticed a long time ago that there was something a little strange about the way they looked at each other. Unfortunately, neither of them is very proactive. I thought I would have to wait until the next Sea God Fate to find a chance to bring them together. I didn't expect that you, Shu Yan, would accomplish this today."

Zhang Lexuan's tone was also somewhat sentimental. Seeing her classmates finally get married was a very happy thing. Of course, the other person couldn't be someone she liked, because I don't think anyone would be happy if that happened...

There are dozens of students in the inner courtyard, but there are very few real couples. Apart from Han Ruoruo and Shu Yan, the quasi-couple that people talk about, there is really no normal couple to be found.

Now that we can see Huayao and Gufan about to break through the barriers and take this step, it is a big progress for the inner courtyard where "singleism" is popular.

Shu Yan suddenly remembered something, and then asked softly:

"Does Senior Sister have someone she likes?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was slightly stunned, then she showed a decent smile, neither nodded nor shook her head, but just said:
"Perhaps, but I've gradually lost interest in this aspect over the past few years. After reaching the Soul Douluo level, I can feel the true charm and mystery of cultivation. Working hard to cultivate and strive to enter new realms as soon as possible is what I value most now."

"I see…"

Shu Yan chuckled and didn't ask any more questions.

The emotion that Zhang Lexuan inadvertently revealed proved the ups and downs of her mood, but her overall emotional fluctuations were not too big. Perhaps it was just as she said, her mind was now focused on the path of cultivation.

Han Ruoruo's gaze towards Zhang Lexuan was also emotionless, filled only with a gentle smile. When she looked at Shu Yan, this smile became even more intense, even with a hint of attachment...

……

The night passed peacefully.

Early the next morning, the morning mist was thick and water vapor condensed into beads on the flowers, plants and green leaves, and then slowly dripped onto the slightly damp ground.

The fire caused by the battle last night had been put out long ago, but wisps of black smoke were still coming out of a tree stump not far away. Han Ruoruo leaned on Shu Yan's shoulder with her eyes closed, while Shu Yan was gazing at the distant mountains, wondering what he was thinking.

A burning soul power suddenly spread out, and Zhang Lexuan, who was also leaning against an ancient tree with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and looked at Wu Ming who had stood up from the ground with satisfaction.

"Awesome! Is this the Soul Saint realm? I feel like my understanding of the Martial Soul has deepened a lot. This power is at least twice as strong as before."

"No wonder everyone says that Soul Saint is one of the most important watersheds recognized by the Soul World. So the secret lies in this."

Wu Ming said excitedly, her hands clenched into fists, and heat waves seemed to sweep away with every move she made. Her overall momentum was indeed much stronger than before.

"Ming'er, congratulations on becoming the third Soul Saint in the Inner Court. As a reward, Ruoruo and I will allow you to challenge both of us when you return."

Zhang Lexuan's gentle voice echoed. Wu Ming was thrilled during the first half of her speech, but by the time she finished the second half, his face had wrinkled into a pout. "This is punishment for disobeying my orders and acting recklessly earlier. Don't even think about running away. This is a good opportunity for me to see if you've improved since breaking through to Soul Sage. If not, Lexuan and I will have to train you some more..."

Han Ruoruo stabbed him again without mercy. Don't think that she and Zhang Lexuan would forget what happened yesterday after spending a night together.

Women are very vindictive. Although what happened yesterday was not a grudge, they still remembered it very clearly. No matter what, they wanted Wu Ming to learn a lesson.

Poor Wu Ming wanted to escape, but she found that no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape the "claws" of Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo...

Suddenly, she felt her whole world dim...

……

Not long after, Gu Fan and Hua Yao, holding hands, finally came back.

Looking at the eyes of the crowd, some of which were relieved and some were teasing, Hua Yao blushed uncontrollably. Gu Fan coughed lightly, then took a step forward and stood in front of Hua Yao.

Wu Ming looked at Gu Fan and Hua Yao's interlocked hands in confusion. After a long while, he looked at Han Ruoruo blankly and asked:
"Sister Ruoruo, are you sure it only took me one night to absorb the spirit ring? Why do I feel like the whole world is different? Why did Sister Yao and Gu Fan suddenly hold hands..."

Han Ruoruo pinched Wu Ming's cheek, then chuckled and said:
"Yao'er and Gufan were originally interested in each other, but neither of them took the initiative, which is why they haven't confirmed their relationship yet. A Yan helped them last night, and now they are a couple..."

A loud thunder sounded in Wu Ming's world, followed by heavy rain for no apparent reason.

She grabbed a branch and squatted beside a burnt tree stump with some grief and anger, then began drawing circles and cursing everyone.

"Wow...why are you all teaming up to find yourselves? If you all find yourselves, how can I live? Is being single a crime? If I am guilty, please let the law punish me instead of letting you all show off your affection in front of me..."

Everyone smiled when they heard this. Hua Yao gently let go of Gu Fan's hand and looked at the scar on his mouth. She shyly looked away and then stepped forward to pull Wu Ming up, saying softly:

"Okay, Ming'er, you will find a boyfriend sooner or later. If possible, we can hold our wedding together by the Sea God Lake in the future..."

Wu Ming became even more emo after hearing this. The joy he had originally felt from obtaining the seventh soul ring and truly becoming a Soul Sage was greatly dissipated, and he really fell into confusion.

She really didn't know who would choose to like her given her reputation and personality, not to mention that she herself had high requirements for her future lover.

Not to mention that his talent in cultivation could surpass hers, but at least he couldn't be in his twenties or thirties and not even a Soul Emperor. What she was sure of was that in that possible relationship, she must occupy an absolute dominant position. Unless the other party's strength and talent far surpassed his, otherwise she would rather her future lover would listen to her.

In a relationship, the one with greater strength, deeper background, and greater personal excellence will undoubtedly dominate. Wu Ming has a strong personality. If you want to form a good relationship with her, you either have to choose to succumb to her tyranny, or rely on your own tyranny to subdue Wu Ming and transform her from the irritable Golden Crow Saint into the obedient and sensible Golden Crow Lady...

This is the only possible path...
