My Anime Girlfriends

The golden pillar of light lasted for three minutes before gradually disappearing. After the golden pillar of light completely vanished, Dong Tian, ​​who was standing in mid-air, slowly opened his eyes. Then, he suddenly spread his limbs and roared at the sky, as if venting his anger. His voice reached the heavens and even spread to every corner of the earth.

At the same time Dong Tian awoke, in an ancient temple thousands of miles away, Shermie, who had been lying on a stone bed, suddenly opened her eyes and slowly sat up. A middle-aged man dressed in priest's robes—Storm-Gonis, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Orochi Clan's 'Eight Generals'—saw Shermie wake up and immediately asked with a smile, "You're awake? That guy's back too?"

"Yes." Shermie nodded, her joy evident on her face.

"Then... let's begin our plan! Now that you've awakened ahead of schedule..."

After venting his emotions, Dong Tian, ​​who was standing in mid-air, lowered his head to check his surroundings. When he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar Kagura City below him, he was stunned. At the same time, he realized that he was completely naked. His face turned red. He looked around and saw that there was no one there. He immediately used the powerful spiritual energy in his body to conjure a black priest's robe on his body. Then, he smiled slightly and slowly landed on the roof of Kagura City.

High on the wall, looking at Dong Tian standing on the roof, Kagura Chizuru could no longer control her emotions. She silently recited the "Divine Speed ​​Blessing" and transformed into a white shadow, flying towards the roof where Dong Tian was. Seeing Kagura Chizuru do this, Kagura Manki sighed slightly and chased after her.

Seeing Kagura Chizuru and Kagura Maki who had just landed on the roof, Dong Tian immediately greeted them with a smile: "Hey, long time no see, Maki and Chizuru, did you miss me?"

Although Dong Tian's appearance had changed, one could still see his past demeanor in his features. Kagura Chizuru didn't answer his question at all; instead, she threw herself into Dong Tian's arms, hugging him tightly, tears streaming down her smooth cheeks as if she wanted to release all the worries and longing she had accumulated over the past year.

"Heavens, it's so good that you've woken up. The Orochi clan is starting to stir again, I think..." Kagura Manki slowly stepped forward and said, looking at Dong Tian's smiling face.

Hearing Kagura Manki say this, Dong Tian hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Manki, you're too hasty! I just woke up, and you're already asking me to get involved in this mess again. I'm sorry, but this time I'm not doing it under any circumstances. I have more important things to do."

"Something more important?" Kagura Manki asked, somewhat puzzled, seeing Dong Tian's serious expression.

"Yes." Dong Tian nodded firmly.

"Then, is there anything I can do to help you?" Out of guilt towards Dong Tian, ​​Kagura Manki did not force Dong Tian, ​​and even sincerely hoped to help him.

“Of course there is…” Dong Tian nodded immediately, then slowly pushed away Kagura Chizuru who was hugging him and smiled slightly at her, “I hope Wan Gui and Chizuru will keep this a secret for me and not tell anyone else that I have woken up, especially Xiao Wu, because I want to give her a surprise.”

“Okay, I promise you. However, the commotion you caused when you woke up was too great, and I'm afraid we can't keep it a secret for long.” Kagura Manki nodded and said.

"It's alright, I just need you to stall for a little while." Dong Tian shook his head slightly and smiled at Kagura Manki, who was a little worried.

"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else I can help you with?" Kagura Manki nodded and said after hearing what Dong Tian said.

“No… um, Wan Gui, could you leave for a moment? I have something to say to Chizuru.” Dong Tian shook his head first, then changed his words when he saw Kagura Chizuru in front of him.

Kagura Maki paused for a moment, glanced at her younger sister, sighed inwardly, said nothing more, turned and left. Now she also wanted to know how her subordinates were doing.

After Kagura Manki left, Dong Tian's smile faded, and he sighed, saying, "Chizuru, I heard that Manki told me before I fell into a deep sleep that you liked me. Is that true?"

Chizuru Kagura, who was initially disheartened by Dong Tian's words that he only cared about Mai Shiranui, looked up when she heard Dong Tian ask her that question. She looked at Dong Tian's face, which was so close to hers, and her cheeks flushed. She nodded slightly and answered in a voice that was both excited and scared, "Yes, it's true."

"I see. I'm sorry, Chizuru, for making you worry about me for so long. But I don't deserve your love because I'm a complete scoundrel..." Dong Tian said softly as he gently embraced Kagura Chizuru after hearing her affirmative answer.

"No, Brother Tian, ​​I like you, I really like you." Qianhe shook her head desperately as she heard Dong Tian say this.

"I'm sorry, Chizuru. I'm really glad you like me, but I don't want to hurt you. I've already hurt too many people..."

“Brother Tian, ​​no, I know you already have a fiancée. It doesn’t matter, I don’t mind, really…” Kagura hurriedly grabbed Dong Tian’s arm tightly and said.

"Chizuru, I will not bring you happiness, so give up your love for me! Goodbye." Dong Tian shook his head slightly and sighed softly. As he spoke, he broke free from Kagura Chizuru's arm and quickly disappeared from her sight with a gust of wind.

Chapter 373 Mai Shiranui

Location: Shiranui Dojo

Mai Shiranui, dressed in a pink, cherry blossom-patterned long-sleeved kimono, knelt under the eaves of the courtyard, recalling the pillar of light that shot straight into the sky three hours earlier. Although she suspected that the pillar of light might be a sign that Dong Tian was waking up, the thought that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment made her afraid to call and inquire. She could only sit under the eaves, gazing at the pond in the backyard, reminiscing about the past while praying that Dong Tian would wake up soon.

Outside the Shiranui Dojo, a gentle breeze blew by, and a figure dressed in a black priest's robe appeared on the marble floor. With a handsome face and hair flowing in the wind, it was Dong Tian, ​​who had just awakened. He glanced left and right at the empty street, then at the heavy wooden door of the dojo, a look of nostalgia on his face: "How nostalgic! I wonder what Xiao Wu is doing?" He said as he walked towards the door.

Inside the Shiranui Dojo, as all the disciples were diligently training, a sudden "BOOM!" resounded. The heavy wooden door of the dojo seemed to have been hit by a giant cannonball from the outside, instantly shattering into countless tiny wood chips that shot out in all directions, throwing the disciples into a chaotic frenzy.

"Haa!" A dozen or so disciples, clearly having achieved some success in their training, steadied themselves and threw a punch towards the gate. Instantly, over a dozen scorching red waves of energy erupted from their hands, shattering dozens of larger pieces of wood that were hurtling towards them. This showed that they had already mastered the Shiranui-ryu's ki cultivation to a minor level, although they were still one step away from gathering ki into fire. However, the force carried by the wood chips still forced them back several steps.

"Clap clap..." Applause rang out. Dong Tian walked into the dojo with a smile and clapped his hands. Looking at his disciples who had angry expressions, he said in a tone that only an elder would use, "Your strength is not bad. Where is your master?"

The crowd was clearly dissatisfied with Dong Tian's attitude. A blond disciple who looked to be around twenty years old immediately shouted angrily, "You bastard, are you here to challenge us?" He was about to rush forward to teach Dong Tian a lesson. Seeing this, another, older disciple quickly grabbed his arm, glanced at the smiling Dong Tian, ​​and said, "Naruto, calm down. You're no match for him." Then he shouted to the disciples who had only recently joined the sect, "Go find Master Shiranui Mai and tell her someone is challenging us."

"Yes." A female disciple immediately responded and ran towards the back of the training ground. The other disciples consciously took a few steps back, slowly forming a circle around Dong Tian.

In less than three minutes, Mai Shiranui, dressed in a red kimono, appeared in Dong Tian's sight. Her appearance made Dong Tian feel both nostalgic and amazed. Mai Shiranui looked very beautiful in a kimono, or rather, Mai Shiranui was very suitable for wearing kimonos.

Mai Shiranui stopped ten meters away from Dong Tian, ​​bowed to him, and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's begin." She didn't look up at Dong Tian once throughout, giving the impression that she was very sad.

Looking at Mai Shiranui like this, Dong Tian felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle. He slowly closed his eyes, nodded, and solemnly said, "Okay."

The instant Dong Tian bowed his head in agreement, Mai Shiranui spun around on the spot, her entire kimono skirt swirling with her movement, like a red sprite dancing among flowers. After spinning once, her kimono vanished, replaced by a revealing ninja outfit. The ninja outfit almost perfectly showcased Mai Shiranui's alluring curves before everyone's eyes. Her large breasts swayed with her slight movements, creating dazzling waves, and her slender waist gently twisted, causing the men's hearts to flutter. Beneath the barely covering fabric, her ample bosom appeared even more enormous and captivating. Seeing this, Dong Tian was momentarily stunned.

"Butterfly Fan!" In the instant Dong Tian was stunned, Mai Shiranui pulled out a folding fan from somewhere and shouted softly. She threw the folding fan at Dong Tian, ​​and the spinning fan was like a fluttering butterfly, smashing towards Dong Tian's face. Although this move was just a probing attack by Mai Shiranui, the force contained in the folding fan should not be underestimated. If an ordinary person were hit by this blow, they would definitely not be able to stand up.

"Crane Pick!" Seeing the 'Flower Butterfly Fan' rushing towards him, Dong Tian lightly raised his right fist and caught Mai Shiranui's folding fan in his hand.

"Hmm!" Mai Shiranui, who had fought against Kyo Kusanagi before, naturally recognized his moves and was momentarily stunned. She then unleashed another 'Flower Butterfly Fan' attack, following closely behind as she charged towards Dong Tian. "Slaying Ninja Bee!" Mai Shiranui, who was following closely behind the Flower Butterfly Fan, suddenly stomped on the ground, concentrating her powerful energy in her elbow, and flipped her body, using the centrifugal force of the ground to crash into Dong Tian.

In the instant that Mai Shiranui was about to focus her attack on Dong Tian, ​​Dong Tian's body shifted strangely to Mai Shiranui's side (Ghost Step). Before Mai Shiranui could react, a burst of crimson flames erupted from Dong Tian's hand. "Ghost Burn!" Enveloped in crimson flames, his fist slammed into Mai Shiranui's abdomen. The crimson flames immediately enveloped Mai Shiranui, and with the immense force, her delicate body was thrown high into the air and flew away from the crowd.

"I'm sorry, Brother Tian, ​​Grandpa. I'm useless; I can't uphold the dignity of the Shiranui School." Flying in mid-air, Shiranui Mai couldn't help but shed a tear. She slowly closed her eyes, letting the tear drip from the corner of her eye, thinking to herself. The expected pain of landing didn't occur for a long time. Shiranui Mai felt herself being tightly embraced by a pair of strong arms.

In mid-air, Dong Tian, ​​who had caught Mai Shiranui, saw the expression on her face with her eyes closed in his arms. He immediately dispelled the harmless flames on both of them, shook Mai Shiranui's body, and said in his original voice, "Wake up, Mai. It's not good to fall asleep during a duel."

With her eyes closed, Mai Shiranui murmured to herself upon hearing that familiar voice, "Ah... that voice is... Brother Tian." She then abruptly opened her eyes, staring intently at Dong Tian's smiling face. The familiar features, the familiar gaze, and the familiar embrace brought tears streaming uncontrollably from Mai Shiranui's eyes. "Brother Tian!" Mai Shiranui cried out, grabbing Dong Tian's neck and sobbing, "Thank goodness... thank goodness, you're finally awake!"

"Alright...alright, stop crying. You won't be pretty if you keep crying. Everyone's watching." Dong Tian smiled and patted Mai Shiranui on the back as she continued to cry. Hearing Dong Tian's words, Mai Shiranui remembered that there were a lot of disciples around her. Her pretty face flushed red, and she buried her face in Dong Tian's chest, not daring to look at the people around her.

Seeing Mai Shiranui's shy expression, Dong Tian felt a surge of joy. He smiled slightly and said to his disciples, "Have you all seen enough? Well then... I declare today a holiday! You can all relax! All expenses will be on me, the heir to the Shiranui school. Oh, and remember to have someone repair the dojo's main gate." As he spoke, a gold card appeared out of thin air in his hand, which he casually tossed to the disciple named Naruto. Then, ignoring the puzzled looks from the crowd, he picked up Mai Shiranui and walked smilingly towards the back courtyard of the dojo.

After catching the gold card that Dong Tian threw to him, Naruto immediately exclaimed with a look of sudden realization, "Ah! I remember now, he... he's the fiancé of Mai Shiranui, the successor of the Shiranui school, the KOF '94 champion (as recognized by the public), and the author of Naruto... Master Dong Tian." He then added with a puzzled look, "But Master Dong Tian seems to be much more handsome than before."

"What? No way!"

"Wasn't it said he was missing?"

"Wow, so handsome! No wonder he's Master Wu's fiancé."

Chapter 374 Invitation

Inside the Shiranui Dojo, after confirming that the gold card they received from Dong Tian contained nearly ten million in savings, all the disciples happily went to the nearest city to travel, leaving only Shiranui Mai and Dong Tian behind.

Under the eaves of the courtyard, Mai Shiranui, dressed in a kimono, was gently combing Dong Tian's long black hair with a wooden comb, both of them wearing happy smiles. After she finished, Mai Shiranui took a red ribbon from her bosom, carefully tied it around Dong Tian's hair, and then picked up a mirror from the floor, handing it to him, saying, "Brother Tian, ​​it's done. Are you satisfied?"

Dong Tian glanced at himself in the mirror, smiled slightly, and put the mirror down, saying, "As long as Xiao Wu styles my hair, I'm satisfied." He then turned his gaze to the pond in the courtyard, sighing softly, "It's been so long since anyone styled my hair." Turning his face towards her, he tightly grasped Mai Shiranui's small hand, smiling tenderly as he took out a gemstone ring with a rose motif and slowly slipped it onto her ring finger. "Mai, I don't want to leave even the slightest regret in our limited time together, so… please marry me!"

Staring at the ring on her finger, Mai Shiranui was momentarily lost in thought, and tears of happiness slowly streamed down her face. Seeing Mai's tears, Dong Tian looked worried. "Mai, what's wrong? Did my proposal upset you...?"

Mai Shiranui hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face with her fair, jade-like hands, and said with a smile, "No, Brother Tian, ​​I'm just too happy." The implication was that she had accepted Dong Tian's marriage proposal.

Upon hearing that Mai Shiranui had accepted his proposal, Dong Tian was overjoyed. He picked her up and spun her around, then kissed her red lips with a smile. He loudly promised, "My dear Mai, I'll have everything prepared for the wedding right away. I'll have all our friends come to celebrate with us. I want you to be the most beautiful bride in the world."

Seeing Dong Tian's ecstatic joy, Mai Shiranui felt her heart filled with sweetness and happiness. Her pretty face flushed, and she buried her face in Dong Tian's chest, saying, "I'll do whatever you say, Brother Tian."

…………………………Three days later

Japan Kyokugenryu Karate Dojo

Robert, holding an envelope, strode into the training room and looked at Ryo Sakazaki, who was carrying hundreds of pounds of weight and constantly punching and sweating profusely, and said, "Ryo, there's a letter for you!"

Ryo Sakazaki paused slightly, a look of impatience on his face, and said to Robert behind him without turning around, "Letter, who has time to read that kind of stuff? Robert, you read it for me!"

Robert smiled faintly at Ryo Sakazaki's words, feigning helplessness, and said, "I really can't do anything with you." He then twirled the envelope in his hand, opened it, and found a red invitation card inside, in addition to a few lines of writing. A look of confusion crossed his face. He quickly read the contents of the letter and exclaimed in surprise, "Ryo, that guy is awake!"

"That guy? Who is he?" Ryo Sakazaki, who kept throwing punches, immediately asked in confusion.

“That guy… Dong Tian of the Shiranui School! It was written by a messenger.” Robert immediately waved the letter in his hand and said.

Upon hearing Robert's words, Ryo Sakazaki suddenly stopped moving, his body trembling uncontrollably, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and he slowly clenched his fists. Seeing this, Robert suddenly had a bad feeling and hurriedly fled the training room at top speed. Sure enough, the instant he escaped, an extremely powerful white energy burst through the roof of the training room and shot straight into the sky. Then, the entire training room seemed to explode from within, shattering into pieces and completely collapsing.

Upon hearing the commotion, Takuma Sakazaki rushed over and, seeing Robert standing blankly in front of the now-ruined training room, immediately asked, "Robert, what happened?" A large group of Kyokugenryu disciples, along with Yuri Sakazaki, also arrived.

"Ah... Master, you've come at the right time. I think Ryo is just too excited." Robert smiled slightly at Takuma Sakazaki, who had an angry expression on his face, and handed him the letter.

Takuma Sakazaki took the letter with some skepticism, then burst into laughter and said, "So that's how it is. It's that kid Ten who woke up. No wonder Ryo was so excited."

Yuri Sakazaki, who arrived shortly after, immediately grabbed Takuma's strong arm and shook him, asking loudly, "Daddy, what did you just say? You said that Brother Tian has woken up, right... right?"

"Okay... Yuri, stop shaking me, look for yourself." Takuma Sakazaki, unable to bear Yuri shaking him any longer, handed her the letter. Then, looking at Robert, he asked, "Robert, besides that letter, is there anything else in the sky?"

"Ah...yes, Master, it looks like an invitation." Only then did Robert remember that he was holding an invitation in his hand, and he hurriedly handed the invitation to Takuma Sakazaki.

Takuma Sakazaki's expression immediately turned serious as he looked at the invitation in Robert's hand. He slowly took the invitation, unfolded it, and his eyes widened upon seeing its contents. Robert, watching Takuma's face turn from pale to red, then to purple, before he dejectedly put the invitation down, couldn't help but ask, "Master, what is it?"

Looking at Robert's puzzled expression, Takuma Sakazaki suddenly unleashed a fighting spirit no less intense than that of Ryo before. He slammed the invitation into Robert's hand and shouted at Ryo Sakazaki amidst the ruins, "Ryo, let's go and dismember Ten-kun!" He flicked his wrist, as if preparing for an immediate battle.

"Yes, Father!" Upon hearing Takuma Sakazaki's voice, Ryo jumped out of the ruins and said excitedly.

Robert quickly glanced at the invitation in his hand and realized it was a wedding invitation, and the groom was none other than Dong Tian, ​​the man who had thrilled Ryo and worried Yuri so much. He hurriedly put the invitation away, grabbed Sakazaki Takuma from behind, and desperately shouted, "Master, calm down! Don't do anything foolish!"

...A bamboo house in a bamboo forest in Sichuan, China

"Master, what does the letter say?" Kensou asked Chin Gentsai, who was reading a letter sent from Japan.

Chin Gentsai immediately stroked his beard and laughed, then turned to Athena, who was busy making breakfast in the kitchen, and congratulated her, "Hahaha... Athena, the letter says that Xiao Tian woke up from his slumber three days ago."

"Really? Master, Brother Tian, ​​is he really awake?" Athena, wearing an apron, immediately ran out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand and asked with a look of surprise.

"Of course! When has your master ever lied to you?" Zhen Yuanzhai immediately picked up his wine gourd, took a sip, and said to Athena with a smile.

"Great! Master, I'll make your favorite Dongpo pork today!" Athena exclaimed excitedly, picking up Zhen Yuanzhai and jumping for joy.

"Really?" A few drops of saliva involuntarily dripped from Zhen Yuanzhai's mouth. The 'Dongpo Pork' made by Athena herself was absolutely amazing, and the taste was simply 'amazing'.

Just as Chin Gentsai was about to enjoy the delicious food prepared by Athena, Kensou picked up the invitation from the envelope and said, "Oh, Master, there's another invitation here. Let me see... Hmm... Master... Master... Ten-nii is getting married to Mai Shiranui. The wedding is in ten days."

Silence, absolute silence

Athena, who had been hopping around, immediately stopped and said, "Master, you and Achong can eat the steamed buns I made yesterday today!" Then she turned and walked out of the bamboo house.

Watching Athena walk out of the bamboo house, Kensou looked at Chin Gentsai with some confusion and asked, "Master, what's wrong with Athena? Didn't she say she was going to make 'Dongpo Pork'?"

Chin Gentsai looked at the puzzled Kensou and chuckled, saying, "Thanks to you, let's just eat steamed buns!"

………………………………Elie's Pub, Southtown, England

King looked at the invitation in his hand, sighed softly, glanced at the dilapidated piano in the bar, then at the photo of himself, John, and Dong Tian on the counter, and murmured, "John, what do you think my sister should do?"

Chapter 375 Marriage

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Dong Tian and Mai Shiranui's wedding took place as scheduled. Almost all the world's famous fighters gathered at the Shiranui Dojo in Japan. The Shiranui Dojo was brightly decorated and lavishly decorated. It turned out that when Kagura Manki heard that Dong Tian was going to marry Mai Shiranui, he immediately took on the task of arranging the wedding venue and used the financial and material resources of Kagura City to dispatch hundreds of bodyguards to block the media reporters attracted by the many celebrities.

At this moment, Dong Tian, ​​the groom, stood in the crowd, smiling broadly as he received blessings from his guests, appearing extremely happy. Amidst the commotion, Kusanagi Kyo, unusually dressed in a suit, walked in with a broad smile. After a slight pause, he immediately approached Dong Tian, ​​then casually patted Dong Tian's shoulder and congratulated him, saying, "Brother Dong, congratulations! I didn't expect you to get married so suddenly."

Looking at the carefree Kyo Kusanagi, Dong Tian smiled slightly and subtly removed his right hand from his shoulder, saying, "Because you're afraid of encountering what happened before, it's better to get married early. What about Daimon and Benimaru?" Kyo Kusanagi's seemingly enthusiastic greeting was definitely not a way for ordinary people to handle.

Seeing Dong Tian's relaxed expression, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in Kusanagi Kyo's eyes. However, remembering that today was Dong Tian's wedding day, he laughed twice and looked at Nikaido Benimaru, who was chatting with a beautiful woman not far away, and the gatekeeper standing beside Benimaru like a guardian deity. He said with a smile, "They're over there." Then he asked with a smile, "Brother Dong, when do you have time to spar with me?"
