Chapter 1445: Eighteenth Day of the Seventh Lunar Month

Tang Wulin squinted his eyes. “Are they trying to divert people’s attention. However, this doesn’t directly affect us, right?”

Xie Xie took a deep glance at him. “However, Gu Yuena is the spouse candidate for Joust For A Spouse event this time.”

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment and could not help asking, “What did you say?”

Xie Xie said with a bitter smile, “It’s Gu Yuena! That’s why I said that this is targeted towards you.”

Tang Wulin’s breathing became rapid. He was able to keep his calm even while fighting against powerhouses like Beast God Di Tian but at this exact moment, his heart was beating violently.

Gu Yuena! Gu Yuena! Gu Yuena!

The spouse candidate for the Joust For A Spouse Festival was actually Gu Yuena! Spirit Pagoda was involved in setting up a matchmaking arrangement for her. Could she have truly agreed to this? The answer was apparently affirmative. If she had not agreed, how would they organize the Joust For A Spouse event? This was something that Tang Wulin found difficult to accept.

“Xie Xie, come over and look. There’s new information regarding that Joust For A Spouse Event again.” Meanwhile, Yuanen Yehui’s voice was heard.

Due to Shrek’s reconstruction, their resting area on usual days was set in a refugee shelter located at the bottom of the Sea God Lake.

“Wulin? You’re back!” Yuanen Yehui saw Tang Wulin at first glance as she came running over. She was overjoyed at once so she arrived with an excited expression on her face.

“What’s the news regarding the Joust For A Spouse Festival?” Tang Wulin found that he did not have any intention to celebrate the joy of being reunited with everyone else.

“Oh! Come take a look at it.” The expression on Yuanen Yehui’s face turned complicated as well.

The Shrek Seven Monsters and the addition of Gu Yuena made up eight people, or coincidentally four pairs of partners. The first pair of partners that had feelings for one another back then was precisely of Tang Wulin and Gu Yue. However, they had the most difficult relationship too.

They repeatedly parted ways and got together. Despite acknowledging the relationship between them during the Sea God’s Fated Date Festival, they had not truly gotten together. The relationship between the two of them was so complicated that the rest of the six in Shrek Seven Monsters could not figure it out.

Under Yuanen Yehui’s guidance, Tang Wulin arrived at the resting lounge inside the refugee shelter. A video presentation was being played on the enormous soul television screen.

Tang Wulin’s entire person could not help shaking ever so slightly upon watching the video presentation.

A woman dressed in pale purple dress slowly walked on a huge stretch of desert that stretched as far as the eye could see. She walked forward one step at a time as her body grew taller with every step she took. Her dress fluttered in the wind and she looked like a fairy.

Every strand of her long silver hair was translucent like a crystal. Her long hair drifted in the wind behind her back and revealed the perfect side of her face.

Even though it was only the side of her face, but one could see her tall and straight nose bridge, her purple eyes, and her long lashes.

It felt as if she was the most perfect creation of the world’s creator. Her presence brought a dash of attractive color to the desolation of that huge desert.

It was her, it really was her!

This was Tang Wulin’s first time watching her through a video presentation. She was dressed so beautifully. She was magnificent beyond comparison.

Meanwhile, she slowly turned her head around in the video presentation and revealed her full facial features. She had a fluid, slightly cold yet desolated glance. She did not speak a single word but her silhouette was fading away within the lonely yet pleasant music.

The scene changed and the rumbling sound of water flowing was heard. It was a massive waterfall with green mountains on either side. Crystal clear water flowed under the waterfall filled with vigor and vitality.

She was seated on a huge rock not far away from the waterfall. Her long hair hung down loosely at the back of her head. She was dressed in a long white dress. Her long silver hair draped across one of her shoulders as she gently combed her hair with a wooden comb.

Everything appeared to be tranquil yet attractive. Thick life source seemed to be brimming with vitality in her presence. A woman dressed in white with green mountains and blue water as the backdrop. It was like a scene taken out of someone’s dreamland!

All of a sudden, the sky dimmed. A gigantic fireball appeared in the sky above in a catastrophic manner. It was dragging out an impressive plume as it blasted towards the promised land.

The young maiden raised her head and looked towards the blazing hot ball in the sky. She revealed her solemn yet exquisite appearance. Her right hand waved in the air and a slim power staff appeared in her grasp. Seven-colored radiance instantly surrounded her. She used the tips of her toes to touch on a point of the huge rock and sent her entire person shooting upward.

Speckles of glittering yet translucent radiance appeared on her body. The crystal clear silver color on her body had similarly dragged out a faint plume in the air. The only difference was that her radiance appeared too beautiful.

Following the ascension of her charming figure, pieces of incomparably delicate silver battle armor covered her entire body such that the silver radiance surrounding her body glowed brightly. She went from being so tiny as compared to the gigantic fireball in the beginning until her entire body was gradually covered by a silver radiance that transformed into a ball of massive silver radiance almost equal to the fireball.

Finally, the two balls of radiance ferociously collided into one another in midair before transforming into countless light speckles that spread out to every corner of the screen.

A loud booming noise echoed before the sound gradually softened. A chilly yet pleasant voice was heard.

“Eighteenth day of the seventh lunar month!”

There were just a few simple words. Only a date was given. There was not even a time that was announced. The screen turned blank and was restored to its original state.

There was no doubt that the video presentation was filled with a smashing impact. It made the audience find it hard to refrain themselves. Even Xie Xie was feeling enticed despite being acquainted with her for such a long period of time.

A gentle young maiden sitting by the waterfall boldly stepped forward in the face of a catastrophe. She transformed into a powerful battle armor master as she dashed towards the great calamity. The scene from the video presentation was truly too shocking.

One had no choice but to admit that the Spirit Pagoda had really gone all out in the publicity stunt this time. The screening of these two video presentations would without a doubt cause a great stir in the entire continent.

Even the beauty of a woman was sufficient to capture people’s attention. On the other hand, it would immediately result in a qualitative leap if the beautiful woman was also equipped with noble status. Then, how about a beautiful yet noble woman that was also equipped with powerful fighting capabilities? Then, she truly was a goddess!

The spouse candidate for a Joust For A Spouse event was highly anticipated but she was also doubted to be a hideous woman by countless people. Following the screening of these two video presentations, there was no doubt that this had served as the most powerful reply to all the doubters.

Unrivaled beauty!

These two words were sufficient to describe her and shock many people. At the same time, those with discerning eyes could tell that she was clad in three-word battle armor as soon as she unleashed her battle armor.

She was the youngest spiriter of Spirit Pagoda with powerful abilities and such an exquisite appearance. Everything else aside, she had already claimed the title of ‘symbolic idol of the world’.

The spouse candidate for the Joust For A Spouse event was not a hideous woman but she was a goddess! What was the significance of this?

Tang Wulin stood in front of the screen without budging.

Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehui looked at him with a slightly worried expression. They could not figure out Tang Wulin’s thoughts at present.

They were both well aware that the crucial point for Tang Wulin was not the purpose of Spirit Pagoda in organizing this event, but why would Gu Yuena consent to participate in this Joust For A Spouse event. Was this action considered betraying their relationship?

They understood Tang Wulin’s temperament very well. Even though he was very rational at most times, he was absolutely reckless when he was triggered. So many things had happened between Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, but she was going to take part and became a spouse candidate in Joust For A Spouse.

“This is a conspiracy.” Tang Wulin finally began to speak. Moreover, Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehui were relieved upon hearing his words.

“That’s right, this is a conspiracy. The Excellencies said the same thing.” Xie Xie hastily complemented. “These people from Spirit Pagoda are trying to suppress the negative news about them by using this Joust For A Spouse event. At the same time, they’re attempting to suppress the news about Shrek Academy’s reconstruction as well. Moreover, it’s possible that they’re trying to lure you too. Big brother, I think that Gu Yue couldn’t possibly take part in this Joust For A Spouse event on her initiative because of the relationship between you and her. My guess is there’s something we don’t know. We shall let them torment themselves. I believe that Gu Yue will not choose someone else.”

Tang Wulin turned his head to the side and took a glance at him. “Sign me up.”

“Huh?”
