353 Grand Festival

"It's starting to get annoying." Muttered Yue Zhengyu with a sigh causing Dai' Yuner to giggle.

"Are you finally getting sick of the attention?"

Yue Zhengyu frowned but he didn't need to turn behind him to see the countless stares that were aimed at him.

Before he was loving the stares and wanted them to keep staring at him but after a while, it started to get annoying.

As they just wouldn't stop, like they didn't have anything better to do.

'Just let me enjoy my time with Yun'er!'

Dai Yun'er only shakes her head, amused at the situation that Yue Zhengyu was in.

"I didn't think you of all people would get sick of the stare."

"I get annoyed too..." Mutter Yue Zhengyu caused Dai Yun'er smile to widen as she began patting him on the head.

"So have you decided yet?"

"My Title Douluo title? I have no clue... Hm, I will probably decide by the time the festival comes up."

"You do know this will be the name people will remember you by?"

"I know but no need to worry, I am confident It will be glorious as my looks."

"You are an idiot."

"A glorious idiot!"

A week has passed with Shrek once again being flooded with people for the grand festival that was happening this time.

With this one being filled with even more people than last time, all here for various reasons.

From fervently wishing to enjoy the festive mood to wishing to see the stars of the world.

The festival had already begun, with people moving and interacting positively with each other and the festive commodities.

Currently, the people were enjoying themselves while hoping to spot Tang Wulin and his friends.

Those who worshiped Tang Wulin had already made their booths, inviting anyone who wishes to worship him to come.

This caused all of the staff and teachers at Shrek to twitch their lips but they didn't say anything about it.

Even some of them going to join to the surprise of others.

For Shrek Academy disciples, they were having a blast as this was one of the times where they could relax.

Not only them but all of the member of Shrek who has been doing their best to reconstruct what was destroyed before.

It wasn't wrong to say they and everyone else have been working non-stop, just to become stable again.

As it would take even longer for them to return to the peak of what they were before. They also wanted to see Tang Wulin who for the past months and even years has become a ghost to them.

The amount of time, they saw him could be counted on two hands.

Either way, the breathless excitement for this festival was unexpectedly higher than the Sea God Fesitval that happened a year ago.

On the Sea God Island, near a small house that smells like buns with the sun rays shining down.

"Boss!" Shouted Xie Xie as launched himself forward, enveloping Tang Wulin in a hug.

"You love hugging me don't you?"

"What?! Come on boss. We haven't seen each other in so many months. So much has happened since we last spoke!"Said Xie Xie with a laugh.

"Not only that but he somehow surpassed all of our cultivation." Said Yue Zhengyu as he was leaning on the table.

"Yea! Elder brother how did you do it?"Questioned Xu Lizhi, as he was sure their training wasn't slow by any means.

They were practically having their rank increased by a god test!

"It increased after I had killed and absorbed those god-level creatures dragon." Said Tang Wulin causing all of them to nod their head.

"Right... That would make sense."

"Aren't you too much of a monster?" Muttered Xu Xiaoyu causing Xie Xie to shake his head.

"Little Xu, you are so behind."

"Who are you calling little Xu?!"

"Does that mean you finally have your final ring? Or do you need to go and get one from the Pagoda?"Questioned Xu Lizhi as he ignores the bantering of Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyu.

"It's fine, I already have my final one. What about you guys?"

"Hehe, we were able to gain ours as well."

"... On another note, we heard you went to the Demon Continent." Said Yue Zhengyu with a smile.

"Yea elder brother, we heard that's where one of the god-level dragons came from." Said Xu Lizhi with a bun in his hand.

"Yea, it took us a bit to understand, but we were able to figure it out by finding the Tower of Mahal." Said Tang Wulin causing Xu Xiaoyu to blink his eyes.

"Tower of Mahal?"

"It's a tower that rested in the Demon World... I suppose if the whole continent came, so would it."Said Xu Lizhi but Xie Xie shook his head.

"Remember what the Sea God Master told us, it was forced here after they were attacked."

"Serve them right, wishing to attack others but not expecting to be attacked." Said Yue Zhengyu with a hearty laugh.

"But still, the attack feels kinda weird... Just a claw? Could it be a god?"

"It might be possible, as only a god seem to be as strong to actually blow up a planet."

"Say Wulin, you are the only one who has fought a god... What do you think?"Questioned Xie Xie.

"Hmm... You're right, only a God can really destroy a planet but from what we saw and were told. That existence seems to be on the higher hierarchy of God."Said Tang Wulin causing them all to nod their head.

"Hopefully it doesn't attack the Douluo Plane." Muttered Xu Lizhi causing Yue Zhengyu to roll his eyes.

"What's wrong? You scared?"

"Of course! None of us are even close to that level of strength... Even Wulin isn't!" Shouted Xu Lizhi while pointing at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin lips twitch but he didn't say as just then the door of the house began opening, with a figure walking in.

"You brats talking about the Gods?" Questioned Er Ming in his human form.

"Who are you?"

"You didn't tell them about me?"

"The thought didn't come up." Said Tang Wulin causing Er Ming's lips to twitch while cursing Tang Wulin in his mind.

"Who is he Wulin?" Questioned Xie Xie causing Tang Wulin to glance at him.

"Your girlfriend's ancestor, the stupid ape known as Er-"

"What kind of introduction is that!?" Roared Er Ming as he glared at Tang Wulin.

"What? It sounds like an adequate one."

"You..."

"Yuanen ancestor? But that doesn't make any sense, I was sure we met the oldest living member there."

"That is because I wasn't there boy and I am way older than that." Said Er Ming with a sigh before he began narrating his story.

Xie Xie and the others began listening to Er Ming with their expressions turning into disbelief and shock as they came to an end.

"Wait! So your... You are the Titan Giant Ape! The one who helped the Sea God Tang San himself!"Shouted Xie Xie in disbelief while the others also have a similar expression.

"Hahaha, I see my reputation is amazing as always. Well regardless, I hear you dating one of my descendants... Your meeting up with her later right? Take me with you."Said Er Ming causing Xie Xie's face to slightly fall.

As he wanted to spend his time with Yuanen Yehui without any distractions or other people butting in their time together.

It has been a long time since it was just only them and this festival could be seen as a god-sent for him. Yet this was her ancestor, the person who started the Yuanen bloodline and the reason she was even alive.

"What's up with that face? Are you saying you don't wish to help me out!"

"Uh? It's not that senior it's just-"

"He wants to spend time with his girl without any distraction, stop for now and talk with her tomorrow." Said Tang Wulin causing everyone around to twitch their lips.

'How blunt.'

"... fine, I'm not unreasonable. But if you forget, prepare to be my 'sparring's partner."Said Er Ming with a viscous smile causing Xie Xie to shiver.

"Naturally I won't forget senior!"

Tang Wulin only shook his head before glancing at the clock above and seeing the time.

"Alright, the festival is about to start, let's go."

"It's? Crap I have to hurry up and go meet Yuanen or she going to be mad!"

"And I have to mee Yun'er, although knowing her..."

"Lu Yuxin told me to-"

"Yes, yes, you all have dates, shut up, and let's go." Said Xu Xiaoyu with an irritated look.

"You don't have one? Come here, let the master teach you-"

"Shut up!"

Tang Wulin wandered around the street, enjoying the various types of music and stands around.

He only arrived this morning, so he didn't have time to call his girlfriends up but they did send him a message.

To all meet at the Ferris wheel but Gu Yuena and Na'er said they had to deal with their leadership duties.

Since Gu Yuena took over the Spirit Pagoda, she would have to deal with the work she left unattended for the past two weeks.

While Na'er had to go meet with Yun Ming, who was training her to take over his Sea God Pavilion position.

As well as having her do some of his work, to see how well she can handle it. So for today, it was only him and the four others.

But for now, he simply wanted to enjoy the music and his walk, even with the people who were glancing at him.

Indeed, as soon as he and the other guys arrived at the Academy from the Sea God Island.

They have been the main attention of the people around, with some of them not bothering to act subtly about it. Some people were blushing at the sight of them, others were staring in awe at them while the rest kept on sneaking glances.

This caused all of them to agree on splitting up, to hopefully lower the eyes on them and reach their destination.

Unfortunately for Tang Wulin, the stares increased for him but no one tried to come close to him.

As if the mere thought of it was blasphemy, he even noticed that most of them had their head down while glancing. If that wasn't bad enough, he saw some of them that were in robes and hoods.

Kneeling before him and causing swirls of faith energy to move toward him, going inside of his body.

'Is it because of the worship thing? I wonder if this is how it would feel like if a God actually descended and walked around.'

As he was thinking this, he felt his spiritual sense fluctuate as he sensed someone moving towards him from behind.

Turning around, he raised his hand and called out to her.

"Wu Siduo."

"Wulin." Said Wu Siduo with a faint smile as she moved toward him. As she got close, he opened up his arm, and she went inside and held him closely.

She noticed a lot of people were acting odd, with their heads down and glancing on ahead.

She at first thought it was one of them but then realize that none of them are trying to go up to meet the person.

Like they did for them, so she begins thinking it was Wulin and she was right.

"So I heard you gain a cult, must be fun." Said Wu Siduo as she leans eagerly in his arms causing him to chuckle.

"Yea... That one wasn't planned."
