The Legend of the Dragon King

1952 Don’t Cry, Yuanen

“Don’t cry, Yuanen, don’t cry. I’ll give it a try, huh.” His voice was heard once again. Moreover, it sounded much clearer than before seemingly.Then, his body began to consolidate gradually under Yuanen Yehui’s dumbstruck stare. Xie Xie began to appear more solid.

Yuanen Yehui covered her mouth and looked at him without blinking. She was afraid that his body would disintegrate once again if she were to make the slightest sound.

At last, Xie Xie’s body became solid once again. “Thump.” He stumbled onto the ground as if he had just appeared from another world. He rolled once on the ground before he sat up.

His face was ghastly pale and he appeared weak. However, the dagger on his chest was gone. Furthermore, he was now in full, solid form.

“Ouch! That hurts. Finally, I managed to seize back my body. Yuanen, it was your cry that made me come alive. Thank you for saving me.”

As he spoke, Xie Xie threw himself forward to hug Yuanen Yehui tightly as if to show his gratitude.

Yuanen Yehui sat in a daze. The feeling of having saved someone who had died made a big impact on her heart.

Xie Xie gently caressed her back to calm her agitated emotions. “I’m sorry for making you worry. It was my first time to utilize the skill. I’d no idea that it would turn out this way. Yuanen, I’m sorry. It’s my bad for hurting you.”

He spoke with true emotions and sincerity, and he gave her a big hug.

“Let’s go. Let’s gather with the others. I wonder how things are with Lizhi and Zhengyu.” As he spoke, Xie Xie flew toward the sky with Yuanen Yehui in his arms.

Yuanen Yehui recovered slightly from her surprise in the meantime. She stared at Xie Xie by her side. Xie Xie felt uneasy with her stare, so he turned to ask her out of concern, “What’s going on, Yuanen?”

Yuanen Yehui bit her lower lip and looked at him with a burning gaze. “You were only putting up a show earlier, right?”

“Huh?” Xie Xie hastily said, “No, no, of course not. Why would I put up a show? I...”

“Don’t say anything.” Yuanen Yehui suddenly interrupted him.

A chill immediately ran through his entire body. He assumed that the entire process earlier had been flawless! He had lost count of the number of times he went through the rehearsal. Furthermore, the act involved a certain amount of risk at the time. After all, the action of his body being sucked into space-time was real, only that he was capable of controlling himself.

He knew Yuanen Yehui’s temperament too well. Were he not prudent, she would be truly furious having gone through an emotional rollercoaster ride of sorrow and joy.

Yet, he never expected what Yuanen Yehui was about to say next.

“I’m sorry, Xie Xie,” said Yuanen Yehui softly with her head lowered.

Xie Xie was stunned for a moment. “Yuanen, you...”

“I’m sorry for being difficult and making things stressful for you all this while. I’ve neglected your feelings. You only adopted this method because I’ve been too hard on you. I know that my father has given you much pressure too. In reality, he approves of you, only that he doesn’t want me to get married so soon. My entire clan has given you so much pressure. I assure you it won’t happen again. Love is supposed to be between two people. It should never be a one-sided affair. I promise to treat you better from now on. Xie Xie, I’m sorry.”

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms tightly around his arm. She leaned close to him just like a wife who had made a mistake.

Xie Xie did not expect this to happen. He immediately felt hot blood gushing into his brain. He hugged Yuanen Yehui tightly. “It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s my bad. Yuanen, I’ve to do it since I’ve no other choice. I was really afraid that they’d all be successful in their proposals while I failed. I’d die from heartbreak if that were the case. I’ll certainly treat you well for the rest of your life now that you’re my wife.”

“No other choice? So, you really were putting on a show earlier?” Yuanen Yehui raised her head once again. Xie Xie saw a streak of murderous intent in her eyes!

“Er, er...” Xie Xie looked at her in bewilderment. He was silent for a few moments before he replied in a raspy voice, “Yuanen, I didn’t realize you were a good actress too!”

“Good actress my *ss!” Yuanen Yehui raised her hand and knocked his head. She said in rage, “Xie Xie, just you wait and see how I’m going to punish you later.”

“I...” Xie Xie felt like weeping but there were no tears. He did not expect to be tricked by Yuanen Yehui.

“I, I...”

“I, what? Quick, let’s head to the gathering. Where are they? Do you want them to wait for us?” said Yuanen Yehui in a furious tone.

Xie Xie was stunned for a moment. In the next moment, however, he was overjoyed. He stared at the pair of rings on her finger and asked in an exploratory manner, “So, are you saying ‘yes’?”

Yuanen Yehui raised her head and looked up to the sky. “I suppose I can live with it for the sake of a pair of rings...”

“Haha, awesome!” Xie Xie hugged Yuanen Yehui abruptly and then spun around once. A moment later, both of them shot straight into the sky.

Regardless of how strenuous it had been, the outcome was wonderful at the end! What could be more awesome than this?

In the center of the Sea God Lake, the huge gigantic crown blotted out the sky and covered the sun. By the time Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehui arrived on the spot above the crown, they were immediately immersed in the rich life source.

Meanwhile, the area above the crown was crowded with people milling around. To everyone’s surprise, a large screen was set up in the area.

Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan were holding hands, while Xu Lizhi held Ye Xinglan’s hand. Apart from them, all the powerhouses from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect with Title Douluo ranks and above were present.

They were the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin, the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi, Lan Muzi, Tang Yingmeng, A Ruheng, and Sima Jinchi. Everyone was beaming with joy.

Also present were the seven old demons with their solid-like bodies which made them look real, almost like humans.

Due to the effect of the Ancient Eternal Tree’s exceedingly rich life force, although they could not be resurrected as humans, their energy was much more potent than before. It was not an issue for them to be far from the Seven Saint Abyss for a short period of time.

At a glance, Xie Xie saw his father-in-law Master Yuanen Tiandang standing among the crowd. However, his expression did not seem pleasant.

Yuanen Tiandang only found out about the proposal ceremony after being invited Yuanen Zhentian. He could not help grunting when he saw his daughter flying over hand-in-hand with Xie Xie. Besides, he saw the rings on her daughter’s finger.

Xie Xie felt rather awkward as well. He peeped at Yuanen Yehui by his side. Yuanen made no comment as if she was oblivious to her father’s displeasure.

“Haha, it seems that you’ve actually succeeded too,” said a chuckling Yue Zhengyu.

“What do you mean by ‘actually’?” asked Xie Xie in an unpleasant tone.

Long Yeyue let out a cough and said, “Alright. We’ve invited everyone here today to be the witnesses for these children.”

As soon as she spoke, everyone’s gaze naturally shifted to the ‘young’ Elder Long.

Long Yeyue’s gaze swept past these six people in succession. “It seems that all of you’ve already succeeded in your marriage proposals. As your senior and teacher, I’m very happy for all of you. It was you who stepped up to lead Shrek Academy to regain its prior glory when Shrek Academy encountered an unprecedented catastrophe. Everything you did for the academy will certainly be recorded in history. In Shrek Academy’s entire history, only two generations from His Excellencies, the Sea God and the Holy Ice Douluo can compare to you. It is an auspicious event for you today. I’d like to represent the academy to give my blessings to all of you.”

The six of them stood in a line and saluted Elder Long. “Thank you, Elder Long.”

Long Yeyue said with a smile, “We, the elderly, should say thank you instead. It’s precisely due to outstanding young people like you who have come forward that we’re able to retire honorably! Haha! Let’s wait for Tang Wulin’s successful marriage proposal, so we can set the wedding date and organize the grandest wedding for all of you. I’ve already discussed this with the two Excellencies, the Amorous and the Heartless Douluos. This will be the glory of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. We’ll then set up a grand banquet and invite everyone.”
