Chapter 758: Why Would You Choose Me? (1/2)
For some reason, after that battle, Long Yue had also developed a certain special type of feeling in his heart toward the overbearing Xu Mi'er. She was the first person around his age that he'd met that was even more aggressive than he was, and the fact that she was a woman made that all the more remarkable.
Tang Yinmeng smiled, and said, ”Congratulations, Mi'er; you finally found your Mr. Right! The next female participant to be drawn is... Wu Siduo.”
Wu Siduo's lotus leaf slowly drifted forward, and she wore a complex expression on her face.
She cast her gaze toward all of the male participants up ahead, then glanced at the exquisite beauty standing beside Tang Wulin, and she gritted her teeth as she spurred her lotus leaf onward, heading directly toward Tang Wulin.
She raised no questions and didn't state any requests; all she did was glide straight over to Tang Wulin's side.
Tang Wulin turned to her with a surprised look in his eyes. ”You...”
Wu Siduo looked up at him, and asked, ”What about me?”
A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”Why did you choose me?”
”Why can't I choose you?”
Tang Wulin had no response to this. After all, the female participants had the initiative during this segment.
Wu Siduo lowered her head and seemingly fell into deep thought.
It was undoubtedly the case that Wu Widuo was quite exceptional in all departments among all of the female participants, but unfortunately for her, Na'er had chosen Tang Wulin before her. Compared to Na'er, she clearly paled into insignificance. Even so, she was still brave enough to choose Tang Wulin even after Na'er had already chosen him, and that was already a great sign of her courage.
Most of the remaining women had either questions or requests for their male counterparts, and following the epic battle between Xu Mi'er and Long Yue, the progression of the fourth segment had clearly accelerated.
However, some of the older women didn't make any choices, so they essentially withdrew from this segment. Of course, they could quite leave yet as there was still one final segment that could require their presence, even if they hadn't chosen anyone. Only during the final segment could the male participants seize back the initiative to express their love for the women of their desires.
”Dai Yun'er.”
It was finally the princess's turn to take the stage.
Dai Yun'er's lotus leaf slowly drifted forward, and her eyes remained firmly fixed on Tang Wulin the entire time as she called out, ”Brother Three.”
Tang Wulin looked back at her and was immediately struck by a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, Dai Yun'er drifted directly over to him with tears shimmering in her eyes. ”Brother Three, do you know how long I've been waiting and searching for you? They all said you're dead, that there's no way you could return from that small world, but I refused to believe them. I've been doing everything in power to search for you for more than three years, and only recently did I receive news from the Tang Sect that you were back, so I came here as quickly as I could to see you. I'm even willing to relinquish my status as princess for you; I simply can't forget everything that we've experienced in the Dragon Valley. What I want to ask you is, do you like me?”
”Er...” Tang Wulin was at a loss for how to respond.
He definitely felt a certain sense of affection toward her, but he certainly didn't see her as a romantic love interest. However, if he were to say that he liked her during this Sea God Fate Match-making Convention, then the current context would immediately twist the meaning behind his words!
Dai Yun'er smiled, and said, ”I knew you felt the same about me!”
As soon as her voice trailed off, her lotus leaf drifted directly toward him.
When did I say anything? Tang Wulin didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
Both Tang Wulin's right and left sides had been taken by Na'er and Wu Siduo, so Dai Yun'er positioned herself directly in front of him before turning around in a graceful manner.
”I'll be the only person in your eyes now.”
”Crack!” The sound of cracking knuckles rang out from beside him.
Tang Wulin turned to discover Long Yue glowering at him with killing intent in his eyes. His expression was a perfect mirror image of Tang Wulin's when he'd thought that Na'er was going to choose Long Yue.
”What're you doing? You've already got me, yet you're looking at someone else?” Xu Mi'er's cold voice sounded. A handheld cannon had already appeared in her grasp, and the end of its barrel was pressed directly into his waist.
