Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

Chen Zifeng's voice echoed melodiously over Poseidon Lake: "Next is the second segment—Love at First Sight! Ladies, please raise your lanterns and light up the one you admire."

Suddenly, the lake surface lit up with tiny sparkles of light.

However, the lotus leaf at the very center of the female trainees' line was always shrouded in a layer of cold mist that kept everyone at a distance.

Huo Yutong stood there, her eyelids slightly lowered, a faint icy blue halo swirling around her fingertips. No matter how the male students around her displayed their power, the soul guide lamp in front of her never lit up even once.

Xi Xi chuckled and teased, "It seems our junior Yu Tong is determined to be a 'high-and-mighty flower'."

As the event progressed, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. When Xixi announced the start of the "love at first sight" self-introduction segment, the male trainees were all eager to impress their goddess.

Finally, it was Beibei's turn.

He took a deep breath, and his usually calm demeanor now showed a rare hint of solemnity.

Unlike the others, he didn't boast about his cultivation or display his martial spirit. Instead, he took a step forward, his gaze piercing through the layers of lotus leaves and landing precisely on Tang Ya.

"Today, I came for only one person."

His voice carried clearly throughout the entire Poseidon Lake, with a touching sincerity.

"Xiaoya, from the first moment I saw you, your smile, like blue silver grass, took root and grew in my heart. You are my first love, and the only love of my life. I had prepared many words to tell you how much I admire your resilience and how much I am infatuated with your smile... But at this moment, all those words seem superfluous."

Beibei slowly raised her hand, revealing an exquisite ring box in her palm.

He opened it gently with a "click," and in that instant, the soft light even overshadowed the lights on the lake.

"I love you, Xiaoya. Will you marry me?"

It was a diamond ring set with a pigeon blood ruby, but the band was intricately carved with lifelike blue silver grass patterns, a symbol that belonged only to Tang Ya.

The entire room fell silent.

The next second, Tang Ya suddenly took off her straw hat, letting her long hair fly in the sea breeze.

Her eyes were glistening with tears as she almost screamed, "I do! Beibei, I've always, always loved you too!"

Beibei leaped and landed lightly on the lotus leaf where Tang Ya was, tightly embracing the tearful girl in her arms.

The two embraced under the interplay of moonlight and lamplight, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.

In the attic not far away, Mu En stroked his beard and revealed a kind smile.

He remembered that a few days ago, Beibei approached him somewhat shyly, saying she wanted to buy something very important. Now it seemed that the money was well spent.

Mu En turned his head to look at Zhang Lexuan beside him. Tears welled up in Zhang Lexuan's eyes, a testament to her heartfelt joy for her younger brother.

She initially declined the competition, citing her "advanced age" as the reason for not participating in the games of young people. However, she now feels that seeing them happy is far more meaningful than participating herself.

Mu En thought to himself: It seems I need to work harder to maintain my health in the future and try to help Le Xuan and Bei Bei take care of the children.

"Let's wish this perfect couple all the best!" Xixi led the applause.

Chen Zifeng smiled and maintained order: "Touched as we are, our event must continue! Next!"

……

The process quickly progressed to the fourth stage – a predestined connection across three lifetimes.

The female trainees began to choose their preferred male trainees one by one.

Tang Ya naturally stood by Bei Bei's side without hesitation, and the two never separated their hands from beginning to end.

Zhu Lu stared intently at Dai Huabin, her mind resolute: "It's definitely mine, I'm his fiancée."

When it was Huo Yutong's turn, her voice rang out over Sea God Lake: "My name is Huo Yutong. I possess twin martial souls, the Spirit Eye and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. I am a level 68 control-type Soul Emperor and a level 6 Soul Master."

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the room, her tone firm and resolute: "But I already have someone I love, and I will marry no one but him in this life. Today, I will not choose anyone else."

After she finished speaking, her face was frosty, but for some reason, a blush crept up her ears.

On the high platform, Moon almost choked on his beard upon hearing this, and sighed helplessly: "This girl... I hope my heart can take it."

……

The final step – a long and happy marriage.

The decision-making power was returned to the male trainee.

Without hesitation, Beibei took Tang Ya's hand, and the two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.

"Beibei".

"Xiaoya."

However, the scene on the other side was completely different.

Zhu Lu was overjoyed and was preparing to welcome Dai Huabin's approach when she saw Dai Huabin walk past her without stopping, striding towards the figure in the center of the lake, Huo Yutong.

Zhu Lu's smile froze instantly, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at the receding figure.

Huo Yutong was also stunned. She had made herself so clear, yet someone still dared to choose her?

When she saw that the person who came was Dai Huabin, a crack appeared in her eyes.

Not only her, but all the souls within her spiritual sea were in an uproar.

"This kid from the White Tiger family... is he tired of living?" Tianmeng was about to complain when Bingdi covered her mouth tightly.

"Don't make a fuss, he doesn't know anything," Crescent Moon said quietly.

Xie Lin chuckled: "I can't wait to see his expression when he learns the truth in the future."

Electrolux calmly concluded: "In short, we should just wait and see."

Besides Dai Huabin, another male student also chose Huo Yutong; it was Wang Dong.

Xi Xi announced, "The selection time is over! Since Huo Yutong did not choose anyone, according to the rules, the two male students who chose her have failed their challenges. However—" she changed the subject, "the female students who chose these two male students have the right to issue a challenge!"

Zhu Lu's heart turned completely cold, transforming into a raging fire of anger and resentment.

She flashed forward and blocked Dai Huabin's path.

"Dai Huabin, why didn't you choose me!"

Although she has broken through to the sixth ring, there is still an insurmountable gap between her and Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin looked at her with a complicated expression, but he did not look away.

Zhu Lu used all her strength to slap him hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound echoed across the lake.

Dai Huabin's head was knocked to the side, and his right cheek instantly swelled up, but he withstood the blow without retaliating or dodging.

Zhu Lu burst into tears, glared at him fiercely, turned around and ran into the night without looking back.

Dai Huabin stroked his swollen cheek, his gaze turning to Huo Yutong again, his eyes deep, as if he were thinking about something.
