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

Zhu Zhuqing stared wide-eyed at the man kneeling before her, her mind blank.

What did she see?

Lin Ye...

That arrogant Lin Ye, who looked down on all the heroes of the world...

Lin Ye, who could kill even a Title Douluo without hesitation and destroy the number one sect in the world without a second thought...

That man, who was as powerful and domineering as a god in her heart...

At this moment, unexpectedly...

He actually knelt down before her?

Is this...is this a dream?

Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously reached out and pinched her thigh hard.

"hiss!"

The distinct pain told her that everything she was seeing was real!

Her breathing became rapid instantly.

Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat, almost making her faint.

Lin Ye knelt on one knee in front of her, looking up at her with focused and affectionate eyes.

A small black velvet box had appeared in his hand without him noticing.

He slowly opened the box.

A silver ring radiating a soft glow lay quietly in the center of the box.

The ring had a simple design, yet it exuded an indescribable quality and mystery.

"Zhu Qing".

Lin Ye's voice rang out again, breaking the extreme silence.

His voice was no longer the domineering and playful one he usually used, but was filled with solemnity and deep affection.

"When we first met, you were a prickly little wildcat, full of wariness and despair towards the whole world."

"You are stubborn, aloof, and distrustful of everyone. You only want to rely on your own strength to change your unfair fate."

"I admit, at first, I just thought you were funny and wanted to tease you and see how you, this little kitten, would bristle."

Lin Ye couldn't help but chuckle as he said this.

As Zhu Zhuqing listened to his words, her eyes inexplicably reddened.

Yes, that's exactly how she was back then.

Like a stray cat walking alone in the dark, it raises its claws at everyone, using its cold shell to protect its heart, which is already riddled with holes.

"But slowly, I discovered that beneath your cold exterior lies a heart more passionate and resilient than anyone else's."

"You're realistic, you admire strength, but that's not your fault. Because in this dog-eat-dog world, only the strong have the right to have everything."

"I admire your willingness to pay any price and endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear in order to become stronger."

"Later, you chose me, chose to believe in me, and bet your future, your everything, on me."

"From that moment on, I told myself that I, Lin Ye, would never betray this woman's trust."

Lin Ye's gaze softened even more.

"I took you away from that painful cage, I gave you great strength, and I made you the Holy Son's Consort, a highly respected figure in the Spirit Hall."

"I've placed you at a height that everyone else has to look up to."

"But I feel that's not enough."

"Not nearly enough."

He paused for a moment, then raised the ring in his hand high and held it in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

At this moment, Lin Ye's eyes became incredibly ardent and resolute.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I, Lin Ye, here today, in my name, pledge my life to you."

"I don't want you to be any more of a Holy Son's Consort, I want you to be my one and only wife, Lin Ye!"

"I want the whole world to know that you, Zhu Zhuqing, are my woman, Lin Ye's woman!"

"I will make all those who have ever humiliated you and looked down on you kneel at your feet, look up to you, and repent!"

"I want to give you the highest honor and the most unparalleled prestige in the world!"

His voice was strong and resonant.

Zhu Zhuqing's tears finally streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She stretched out her trembling hands and tightly covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out loud.

She recalled her tragic childhood, the vicious face of her older sister Zhu Zhuyun, and the cowardly and incompetent appearance of Dai Mubai...

She recalled her near-death experience in the Star Dou Great Forest as she tried to escape her family...

She recalled the glimmer of light in her despair when she first met Lin Ye…

She recalled how this man had pulled her out of the abyss step by step, cherished her, given her a new life, and provided her with a sense of security and affection she had never experienced before.

It turns out he knows everything.

He understood her stubbornness, her pragmatism, and the vulnerability and insecurity beneath her cold exterior.

This man not only gave her great power and a noble status, but also... a home.

"so……"

Lin Ye looked at her tear-streaked face, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Zhuqing, will you... marry me?"

When those last few words came out of Lin Ye's mouth.

Zhu Zhuqing's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she threw herself into Lin Ye's arms and burst into tears.

"I do! I do! I do!"

While crying, she incoherently shouted out those three words with all her might.

Her tears soaked Lin Ye's clothes.

But those tears were no longer tears of pain and grievance, but tears of happiness, joy, and endless emotion.

Upon hearing her reply, Lin Ye finally broke into a genuine, radiant smile.

He held the woman, who was crying her eyes out, tightly in his arms, feeling as if he owned the whole world.

He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then picked up the ring and took her slightly trembling left hand in his.

In the flickering candlelight, he slowly placed the ring that carried his lifelong promise on her ring finger.

The ring size is just right.

The dazzling silver color complemented her fair fingers perfectly.

"From today onwards, you are my fiancée, Lin Ye."

Lin Ye held her hand and planted a hot kiss on the back of it.

Just as Lin Ye placed the ring on Zhu Zhuqing's finger and the two embraced tenderly.

Suddenly, a series of synchronized footsteps echoed outside the side hall.

Immediately afterwards, a dignified and authoritative voice came from the doorway.

"It seems I've arrived just in time."

Hearing the voice, Zhu Zhuqing was startled and quickly broke free from Lin Ye's embrace. Her pretty face turned red, and she stood there helplessly, like a child who had done something wrong.

Lin Ye remained unfazed. He slowly stood up, took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and turned to look at the door.

At the entrance, Bibi Dong, dressed in a magnificent papal robe and holding a scepter, stood quietly.

Her face held a complex, unfathomable expression.

Behind her followed a large group of people.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, several core elders of the Spirit Hall, as well as Ning Fengzhi, the newly surrendered head of the Seven Treasures Hall, and Yu Yuanzhen, the head of the Blue Lightning Hall...

Almost all the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall have gathered here at this moment!

They all looked at Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing in the hall with extreme shock and curiosity, especially at the sparkling ring on Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

"Teacher...?" Lin Ye raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise as he asked.

"Why are you all here?"
