Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Do You Still Want Me?

After saying these words, he seemed to have let go of something in his heart, giving a self-deprecating laugh as the lotus leaves under his feet slid, slowly moving towards this side. He knew that after saying these words, no one would reserve a light pillar for him anymore. No one would accept someone who is still in love with another man!

When he finished answering the question, the girl numbered sixteen extinguished her light pillar without hesitation.

But at this moment, Zheng Longjiang’s voice rang out, “Yuanrong, what’s the rush? There’s still one more.”

“Ah?” Zhang Yuanrong was startled, the lotus leaves under his feet halted, and he turned around somewhat puzzled. Indeed, the last girl, who kept her light pillar on for him, number twenty-three, had not turned her light pillar off.

“I’m sorry.” Zhang Yuanrong bowed slightly to the girl numbered twenty-three as a gesture of respect and said, “The question asked by the Sea God’s fair maiden number sixteen evoked my memories. If you kept the light pillar on just for my honesty, there’s no need. Her question made me suddenly realize that what I thought I had let go of, I had not truly moved on from. Under this mindset, participating in a blind date is disrespectful to you all. Therefore, this Sea God’s Luck blind dating event, I…”

“Wait a moment!” Just as Zhang Yuanrong was about to utter the words to give up, the girl numbered twenty-three suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this voice, Zhang Yuanrong’s mouth dropped open as if struck by lightning.

The girl numbered twenty-three raised her hand slowly, taking off the hat she wore. She was a petite girl with bright eyes and a gentle gaze, tears swirling in her eyes.

Seeing this face, Zhang Yuanrong felt his brain plunge into a sudden blank.

“You…”

“Yes, I’ve returned. I completed a level 7 group Sky Fighter task and was just exceptionally admitted to the inner court. So, I have returned.”

Zhang Yuanrong stared at her blankly, “Wen Zhaoqi.”

“Do you still want me? Zhang Yuanrong.” The girl lifted her chin slightly, a bit defiantly.

“Yes, yes, of course.” A rainbow light burst instantly from under Zhang Yuanrong’s feet, spreading rapidly to the girl named Wen Zhaoqi. In the next instant, Zhang Yuanrong appeared at the other end of the rainbow, holding Wen Zhaoqi tightly in his arms.

Watching them embrace tightly, Lan Xuanyu suddenly had an epiphany. He finally understood how important the Sea God’s Luck blind dating event was for the inner court disciples of Shrek Academy.

Whether it was Zhao Jiancheng and Peng Peng or the current Zhang Yuanrong and Wen Zhaoqi, they clearly all chose to give each other one last chance at the Sea God’s Luck event.

And indeed, in the atmosphere of the Sea God’s Luck event, opportunities belonged to each other. They finally found their loved ones.

“May you have a destined affinity and a harmonious union for a hundred years. Congratulations to Zhang Yuanrong and Wen Zhaoqi. Success in love at Sea God’s Lake.”

This was already the fourth pair today. As hosts, Zheng Longjiang and Shan Wei felt a shared sense of glory at this moment.

Under the guidance of the Rainbow Bridge, Zhang Yuanrong and Wen Zhaoqi exited to the shore. What could be more beautiful than lovers finally getting together?

And next, it was Lan Xuanyu’s turn.

“Xuanyu junior, please come forward.” Shan Wei nodded to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath, calming his agitated heart from the scenes before, and slowly stepped forward on the lotus leaves.

The remaining girls facing him had all their light pillars lit. Although four were fewer, there were still more than twenty. Each to ask a question, enough for him to answer.

Once reaching the center of the lake between the men and women, all the light pillars opposite were still bright. The girl standing in the first position smiled slightly, not waiting for Zheng Longjiang and Shan Wei to prompt, she already smiled and said, “Boss, do you mind having one more girlfriend?”

Lan Xuanyu’s expression froze, and he said somewhat irritably: “Stop joking. All the girls from the Thirty-Three Skywing, put out your lights first. Hmm, except for her.”

“Giggle.” The girl in the first position smiled, and only then did her light pillar go out. Subsequently, a series of light pillars went out, obviously all from the girls of the Thirty-Three Skywing.

Lan Xuanyu bowed slightly towards the direction of the girls and said, “I especially appreciate the affection from all the senior sisters, but Xuanyu truly has someone in his heart, destined for a lifetime. I’m here at the Sea God’s Luck event only to leave no regrets, please understand, senior sisters.”

Zheng Longjiang, as if loving the chaos, said, “We still need to follow the process. Let’s start asking questions now. Ask whatever you want.”

Among the girls holding lamp posts, the first in line asked: “You said you already have a girlfriend and you’re just here for the show. Is she really that good?”

Lan Xuanyu said: “In my heart, she is the best.”

“Pfft,” the lamp post went out.

The second girl asked: “You haven’t answered the first question yet, do you mind having multiple girlfriends?”

Lan Xuanyu responded with a bitter smile: “My heart isn’t big, it only has room for her.”

“Pfft,” another lamp post went out.

The third girl asked: “What is your ideal?”

Lan Xuanyu replied: “To rebuild the Divine Realm.”

“Talking big,” the third girl sniffed disdainfully and the lamp post went out with a puff.

Lan Xuanyu touched his nose; this did save some trouble.

The fourth girl asked: “What is your current strength? You didn’t mention it when introducing yourself.”

“Six rings,” Lan Xuanyu honestly replied.

“Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!” Seven lamp posts went out at once. A girl muttered to herself, “How did a six rings get into the Inner Court?”

Now, fewer than half of the lamp posts remained. Only the last eight lamp posts were still lit.

“If one day, your mother and your girlfriend both fall into the water, who will you save first?” a slightly unconventional voice asked.

Lan Xuanyu frowned slightly, “I won’t answer this question, sorry. You may turn off the lamp post.”

“You, a six rings, are quite proud, huh?” The girl scoffed coldly and turned off the lamp post beneath her.

Next girl.

“Thank you.” No questions, just three simple words.

Lan Xuanyu finally showed a smile on his face, gently saying: “Of course.”

Suddenly, all eyes at the scene converged on that girl, and at that moment, she slowly removed her hood.

Her deep blue hair cascaded down from behind her head like a waterfall, her stunning visage against the green lily pads beneath her appeared full of vitality. With a charming smile and profound eyes, she looked intently at the man standing at the center of the lake, her gaze seemingly filled with a thousand words.

At this moment, how could the others not realize that Lan Xuanyu was here for her?

The simple “thank you” from Bai Xiuxiu carried multiple meanings. They were already together, but Lan Xuanyu still accompanied her here, just to fulfill her dream, to undertake the sacred ceremony of Sea God’s Luck, facing so many questions and doubts.

“Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!” The remaining six lamps extinguished four. Only the last two remained.

Actually, Lan Xuanyu hoped that these last two lamps would go out as well, which, according to the rules, would mean he and Bai Xiuxiu wouldn’t have to go through the next two stages. But unexpectedly, until now, there were still two left with their lamps lit. Why was that?

The penultimate girl spoke in a very soft and melodious voice, “I envy your love. I just want to say, best wishes to you. It seems to find a good man, one must act early. May you grow old together.”

After saying this, the girl voluntarily turned off her lamp post.

It was the turn of the last girl with a lit lamp post. This one was the most noticeable among all the girls, for she was the tallest of them and had notably broad shoulders.
