The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 764

Chapter 764: I’m A Competitive Girl

The thunderous hand-clapping echoed from the shore over the lake's surface . The emergence of the first couple in the date festival made everyone cheer for them in excitement .

Xie Xie's eyes reddened for he had waited so long for this day . He had truly waited far too long for the arrival of this day and with great difficulty too!

Tang Wulin was also clapping loudly . His face was filled with smiles . 'Congratulations guys . Congratulations, Yuanen and Xie Xie . '

The fireworks subsided . The lotus leaves underneath Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehui turned to a gold color before sending them toward the shore . No one came to kidnap the bride . They received everyone's blessings instead .

The couple reached the shore but they did not leave . There was also Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan who had just changed their attires standing with them .

"I'm sorry, Sister Xinglan . It's my fault that we didn't see the fireworks . " Xu Lizhi looked apologetically at Ye Xinglan by his side .

Ye Xinglan held his chubby hand like when they were children .

"There's too little fireworks here . I want even more and you'll buy it for me . "

Xu Lizhi spoke with excitement, "Sure! I'll buy the best fireworks in Shrek City and light the fireworks only for you . "

"Stop being so cheesy!" Xie Xie could not help teasing .

"Who else is cheesier but you!" Xu Lizhi glared at him .

Meanwhile, Lan Muzi's voice echoed over the surface of Sea God Lake . "The next person is Tang Wulin . "

The four suddenly quietened down upon hearing those words . They could not help staring at the surface of the lake and clenching their fists subconsciously .

'Captain!'

The captain had returned . They had yet to cheer for him but they were well aware that the next moment would be very important to him and his future partner .

"Why does she refuse to reveal herself? Moreover, she didn't choose the captain . Is it because she's jealous?" Xu Lizhi could not help saying .

Xie Xie shook his head with a deep frown on his face . "No, it couldn't just be jealousy . Are you not capable of understanding Gu Yue's temperament? She will spare no effort in striving for something that she truly wants . Just like when she first arrived here, she would always sit by Big Brother's side . Even when we were doing the team hand stack, she would always place her hand underneath Big Brother's hand . Something must have happened between them, something that even we aren't aware of . I suspect that the cause of Big Brother's disappearance may be related to a change in their relationship . "

"I feel the same too . If they can't be together again in today's date festival, I'm afraid…" Yuanen Yehui sighed because it was something they did not wish to witness .

Tang Wulin did not expect to be the second person drawn . The lotus leaf underneath his feet floated forward naturally and arrived at a spot before the males .

The smile that was on his face just now had vanished . He stood rigidly on the lotus leaf .

He was already eighteen years old, and he had grown . As a man, he would not allow himself to wallow in despair regardless of what he encountered .

He would stand firm like a man despite the agonizing ache in his heart . Cowardice would never solve a problem much less gain sympathy .

"There were three females who chose Tang Wulin earlier . Next, we shall invite these three females to express their heartfelt feelings for him individually as a final effort to win him over . We'll still use the drawing lot method to determine the sequence of your love confession . Yingmeng, please carry on . "

Tang Yingmeng drew the first name . "Wu Siduo . "

Wu Siduo raised her head and gazed into Tang Wulin suspended above the lake's surface afar . At this very moment, she grew confident because Gu Yue did not reveal herself nor chose him .

Was their relationship over just because they had not met each other for over three years? Perhaps, there was still a strand of hope for her .

She took a glance at the Dragon Spear Goddess Na'er . Na'er was genuinely prettier than her, but she had not heard of Na'er having any sort of relationship with him . Moreover, Na'er was only sixteen years old .

"Wulin, it's been a long time since we've met . After much consideration, I've decided to choose you at this date festival . Perhaps, I should say that my choice would be different if you haven't appeared . Yet, here you are . Frankly speaking, I despise you . I feel that you relied on luck to be a part of Shrek Academy . How are you then worthy to be our class monitor?"

"Yet, you acted on your own to prove that you were qualified afterward . I've watched you grow every day and my confidence to be with you began to waver . You made a deep impression in my heart each time I lost to you . "

"I'm a competitive girl . I always strive to be the best ever since I was young . I also want the best of everything . You're the best in my eyes and only you are capable of tempting my heart . I am not good at love confessions, but I can tell you that I'll accompany you as you progress further in this life . "

Her words were not touching, but it definitely came from her heart . Luo Guixing and Xu Yucheng who were drenched and standing by the shore afar had bitter smiles on their faces as they gazed at one another .

They had figured out the reason why she chose him . It was because he was the best .

"Anything from Wulin?" Lan Muzi asked .

Tang Wulin sighed softly . "I'm very sorry, Wu Siduo . There's no relationship between love and power . We are only classmates in my heart . I'm very sorry as I already have someone I love . "

Wu Siduo took a deep breath . "Is it still her?"

Tang Wulin's eyes suddenly glowed brightly as he spoke without the slightest hesitation, "Yes . "

Wu Siduo nodded, then she smiled . "I won't regret choosing you because you're the best even when it comes to your notion of love . I admit my defeat to her . "

She leaped up upon saying that, but she did not go to the shore immediately . She jumped into the water instead . Just like Luo Guixing and Xu Yucheng earlier, she dived into the water and vanished .

Tang Wulin watched her exit . There was only an apologetic look in his eyes .

Lan Muzi sighed . "What a waste . Then, the next person is…"

"Dai Yun'er!" Tang Yingmeng called out the name .

Dai Yun'er's lotus leaf floated out . Her gaze appeared desolated because she understood very well that she was not the person Tang Wulin meant earlier .

"Brother Three, it has been ages since I last saw you . I've been looking for you for such a long time . Finally, we meet again at this date festival . Do you know how happy I was when I saw you earlier? It has been over three years and to think you've just returned . I should've been the one that you were last together with . Could it be that you've forgotten how we supported each other as we walked into the depths of Dragon Valley? I wouldn't be who I am today without you . I've set my mind on you . This will never change even if you don't choose me . I love you not because you're the best but because you're you . I love you . "

Tang Wulin sighed softly upon seeing the tears on Dai Yun'er's sweet, charming face . "Yun'er, I'm sorry . You should know that there's already someone else in my heart since earlier . I can't and won't do it . My heart has already been taken by her many years ago . I can only say that you arrived late . I like you because you have a kind heart despite being an arrogant princess . You're a kind girl . I can only say that it's a pity we met at the wrong time . I can't dissect my heart, so I can only regard you as a sister, or a friend but you can never be my lover . "

Dai Yun'er looked at him in a daze . There was only bitterness in the corners of her lips as she listened to his tactful rejection . She did not speak anymore, but she did not withdraw like Wu Siduo . She chose not to leave but remained standing persistently on the lotus leaf .

"Please welcome our last candidate, the Dragon Spear Goddess . Na'er, it's your turn . "

The entire Sea God Lake and the shore were quiet when Tang Yingmeng's voice faded .

The radiance of the moon and the stars in the sky made Sea God Lake beneath the starlit night sparkle . Her silver hair, purple eyes, and exquisite silhouette were reflecting the light under the moon and stars as she slowly arrived next to Dai Yun'er .

Her gaze appeared a little dazed but there was radiance rippling in her eyes .

Her gaze, as she looked at him, was no longer akin to a sister looking at an older brother .

Tang Wulin was taken aback when he sensed that she was looking at him differently .

"Brother!" Na'er called out to him softly .

"Na'er, you…" Tang Wulin was frowning ever so slightly .

Na'er smiled . "Brother, do you know the moment you took me in when I was three years old that I've already loved you? Even when you were not so strong, you did your best to defend me from those evil men . You're not only kind but brave . "

"You're much tougher than your peers . Your martial soul had awakened when you were six years old . It was the Bluesilver Grass, a universally acknowledged useless martial soul . However, you had soul power when your martial soul was awakened . Your ambition was to become a soul master, but you dared not think about becoming a battle armor master at the time . You said you wish to control a mecha instead . "
