Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

"Have dinner with me tonight," Lin Ye said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked up at him with some surprise, her beautiful eyes meeting his gaze.

"Don't we eat together every day?"

"Today is different." Lin Ye smiled mysteriously and reached out to gently stroke the tip of her upturned nose.

"I have a surprise for you tonight."

"A surprise?" Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback for a moment, then a sweet feeling and anticipation welled up in her heart.

Although this man is usually domineering and likes to bully others, he can also occasionally create small romantic moments like this.

"What surprise is it? Can't you tell me now?" she asked curiously.

"If I tell you now, is it still a surprise?" Lin Ye pinched her cheek and laughed.

"Just wait patiently, and I guarantee you'll never forget it."

Seeing Lin Ye's serious gaze, Zhu Zhuqing's heart inexplicably quickened.

She had a feeling that something extraordinary was going to happen tonight.

She nodded, buried her face in Lin Ye's arms again, and couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Ye, meanwhile, began to make plans in his mind.

When proposing, you need a decent ring, right?

Use Gold Soul Coins to buy it?

That's too cliché.

Given his current status and position, nothing that money can buy is worthy of him anymore.

It must be unique and unparalleled in the world.

A thought flashed through Lin Ye's mind in an instant.

He thought of a person, or rather, a sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, now known as the Seven Treasures Hall.

When it comes to forging and jewelry craftsmanship, probably no one on the entire continent is more skilled than them.

Moreover, he remembered that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's treasury seemed to contain a very special piece of metal.

"Deep-sea silver mother".

Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

It is a rare metal produced from the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters. It is extremely hard, impervious to water and fire, and has a very magical property - it can store and transmit soul power and is connected with the wearer's mind.

Using this to make an engagement ring is absolutely perfect.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye chuckled.

It's settled then!

He gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's back and said softly, "You rest for a while. I have some errands to run and will be back before dinner."

"Mmm." Zhu Zhuqing responded obediently and sat up from his lap.

Lin Ye got up, straightened his robes, and strode out of the palace.

He wanted to go to Qibaotang in person.

No, he is now the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. Why would he need to make a personal trip for such a trivial matter?

Lin Ye walked outside the hall and calmly instructed the guards standing to the side, "Go and summon Chrysanthemum Douluo."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

...............

"Your Highness, you wanted to see me?"

In just a few minutes, Chrysanthemum Douluo trotted over and arrived at the Holy Son's palace, bowing obsequiously with a fawning expression.

Since witnessing Lin Ye's miraculous feat of wiping out the Clear Sky Sect in one move, Chrysanthemum Douluo's awe of Lin Ye has reached a whole new level.

Being able to serve God is a blessing he has earned through eight lifetimes of good deeds!

"Hmm." Lin Ye nodded and got straight to the point:

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, I have a task for you."

"Your Highness, please give your orders! I will do whatever it takes to ensure you receive the best possible service!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately patted his chest and solemnly guaranteed.

Lin Ye found his sycophantic manner somewhat amusing, but didn't say anything more.

He said calmly, "Go to Qibaotang and find Ning Fengzhi."

"Seven Treasures Hall? Ning Fengzhi?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback upon hearing this.

Why did Your Highness suddenly think of that old fox?

Could it be that something went wrong at Qibaotang that displeased His Highness the Holy Son?

Thinking of this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes instantly turned cold, and a faint killing intent emanated from his body.

"Your Highness, rest assured! If that old bastard Ning Fengzhi dares to harbor any disloyalty, I'll go and twist his head off right now and use it as your chamber pot!"

Lin Ye: "..."

He looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo with a somewhat speechless expression.

What kind of nonsense is this guy thinking?

"Put away that murderous aura," Lin Ye said irritably.

"I'm not looking for him to kill him."

"Huh?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was stunned again, scratching his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Then...what was it for?"

"Go find him and make him hand over the 'Deep Sea Silver Mother' that's kept in the Seven Treasures Hall's treasury," Lin Ye said.

"Deep Sea Silver Mother?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this name.

This is a legendary treasure!

It is said that the thing is hundreds of times harder than the hardest diamond, and it can also store soul power, making it an excellent material for crafting top-tier soul tools.

Even a piece the size of a palm is priceless!

That old fox Ning Fengzhi actually had such a good thing hidden away?

"And then?" Chrysanthemum Douluo pressed.

"What should I do after obtaining the Deep-Sea Silver Mother?"

Is His Highness planning to forge some kind of peerless divine weapon?

The thought of being able to participate in such a major event made Chrysanthemum Douluo tremble with excitement.

"Then," Lin Ye paused, then said in a matter-of-fact tone,

"Have him find the best craftsmen at Qibaotang and have them forge a ring for me as quickly as possible."

"A ring...?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression froze instantly.

He wondered if he had misheard.

His Highness went to such great lengths, requesting the legendary Deep Sea Silver Mother and the best craftsmen, only to... just forge a ring?

What kind of operation is this?

Kill a chicken with a knife?

"Yes, the ring." Lin Ye nodded, as if he were talking about something trivial.

"The design should be simple and elegant. On the inside of the ring, engrave the words 'Night' and 'Clear'."

"Ye? Qing?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo silently repeated the two words in his mind, then his eyes widened suddenly, and his face showed an expression of extreme shock and disbelief.

He... he seems to have guessed something!

Night, naturally, refers to His Highness the Holy Son, Lin Ye.

That Qing...

In the entire Spirit Hall, who else could be the woman whose name contains the character "Qing" that His Highness the Holy Son would care so much about?!

Your Highness... is this a marriage proposal?!

What the hell!

Chrysanthemum Douluo never dreamed that the top-secret mission he received, which involved "going through fire and water," would actually be to run errands for His Highness the Holy Son and get him an engagement ring!

The contrast is too great!

He looked at Lin Ye's calm face and was deeply shocked.

My God!

This guy just wiped out the number one sect in the world with one move a few days ago, and now he's going to play the romance card and propose a marriage surprise?

The art style changed way too fast!

After accomplishing something so significant, shouldn't a normal person go into seclusion to cultivate their skills, or hold a celebration banquet to enjoy the thrill of being admired by everyone?

You... you just killed someone and then went straight home to coax your wife?

Is this something a carbon-based organism could come up with?!

"What? Is there a problem?" Lin Ye frowned slightly as he looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo's astonished expression.
