As these words were spoken, some of the students showed expressions of surprise, "The second segment is actually dominated by the female students, it seems that the Sea God's Matchmaking Fair really is different in every aspect!"
"Mm, the first segment was biased towards us male students, this second segment is the ladies' turn!"
"I just hope that when it's my turn, there will be numerous female students leaving their soul lamps on for me, so I don't end up standing in place, awkward..."
Yue Zhengyu patted the former's shoulder in a comforting way, chuckling, "Junior, don't worry, don't put so much pressure on yourself. What if not even one lamp stays lit?"
The outer courtyard student's face instantly solidified, and he suddenly didn't know what to say...
All he could do was stare at Yue Zhengyu with resentful eyes...
Helpless, he had witnessed this guy's capabilities firsthand and didn't dare to voice any objections!
Seeing this, Xie Xie reminded, "Yue Zhengyu, stop bullying the junior from the outer courtyard already. Better think about how to get more female students to keep their lamps lit."
Yue Zhengyu replied with disdain, "Think? Do I even need to think about that? As long as the female students aren't blind, they'll leave a lamp on for me!"
Tang Wulin spoke out of the blue, "Yue Zhengyu, it's best not to have too high hopes. Be careful the final result doesn't hit you hard!"
Although Yue Zhengyu had previously used his unique method to take off nine female students' hats, it did not exclude the possibility that other female students might dislike this kind of approach in their hearts!
Yue Zhengyu rolled his eyes, "Wulin, Xie Xie that guy is one thing, as he truly has no strengths to speak of, but how come even you lack confidence?"
Xie Xie retorted indignantly, "Hey, who says I have no strengths? You really talk rubbish!"
The corner of Yue Zhengyu's mouth curled up, "How about this? Let's see who among us can get more lamps left on. The loser cleans the Inner Court for a week, how about that?"
Xie Xie gritted his teeth, "It's a bet! Wulin, you be the witness, so no one can deny it if they lose!"
Tang Wulin opened his mouth and gave a wry smile, "This... alright then."
After all, their bet was not anything of value, and it was no harm for him to act as a witness!
However, Cai Yue'er's voice rang out once again, "Now that everyone understands the rules for the second segment, let's invite our Sea Fairies to keep the lamp on for male student number one!"
"However, I need to remind you once more, dear Sea Fairies, please consider carefully, make sure to think it through, because your decision will determine the fate of the male students!"
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
But as soon as her words fell, one of the female students pressed her button first, and the soul lamp below immediately went out...
With one person turning off her lamp, the number of lamps being extinguished that followed naturally left people dumbstruck...
In just a matter of seconds, only a single soul lamp remained lit throughout the venue...
The male student number one, upon seeing this, thought to himself, "It doesn't matter, it's good that one lamp is left, at least I won't be eliminated!"
But the next second, he was stunned...
Because the only Sea Fairy who had left her lamp on glanced around at the other Sea Fairies, and after noticing that all had turned their lamps off, she felt somewhat embarrassed and casually pressed her button...
"Buzz..."
The light went out!
All seventy Sea Fairies had turned their lamps off!
This scene inevitably led to a burst of laughter from the audience below...
"Oh man, a total blackout! This guy is really in a tough spot!"
"Yeah, achieving total blackout might be even harder than having all the lights stay on, right?"
"Let's hope the guy doesn't end up with a psychological shadow. A complete blackout is quite a blow!"
Cai Yue'er looked at male student number one sympathetically and said, "It seems no Sea Fairy is willing to keep a lamp on for male student number one, so I'm sorry, but he will have to leave our show."
The still-dazed student number one only gradually came to his senses after hearing this and then, with an unwilling look in his eyes, he left...
He could never have imagined that he would be the victim of a total blackout!!
Especially in front of so many outer courtyard students watching!
Cai Yue'er shifted her gaze back to the third male contestant, Yue Zhengyu!
She spoke earnestly, "Then, coming up, it's our number three contestant. Please, Sea Fairies, decide whether to keep a light on for him!"
The Sea Fairies of this session really didn't pull any punches, having the first male contestant return empty-handed with all lights turned off!
I hope Yue Zhengyu can set a good example…
Unlike the previously eliminated male contestants, at the moment the Sea Fairies decided whether to keep a light on for him, Yue Zhengyu didn't choose to just stand there foolishly…
Instead, he said with an incredibly sincere tone, "All you beautiful ladies, you may have some thoughts on the tactics I used in the first round, but in truth, that was because I didn't want to harm your beautiful faces and bodies."
"I, Yue Zhengyu, of the Holy Angel Clan, hereby swear that I'll love only one person in this lifetime, so please, Sea Fairies, keep a light on for me!"
And to tell you the truth, although that line was cheesy, it did have some effect, and the gaze of many female contestants toward him changed slightly…
However, those like Gu Yue, who knew Yue Zhengyu all too well, weren't so easily fooled…
Wu Siduo immediately pressed the button, saying coldly, "Hmph, smooth talker!"
Ye Xinglan also nodded and said, "Yue Zhengyu's mouth, a liar's ghost!"
But when she looked to the side, she was shocked to see Xu Xiaoyan fall into thought and couldn't help exclaiming, "Wait, Xiao Yan, you don't really believe what he said, do you?"
Xu Xiaoyan snapped back to reality, hesitating, "But... Yue Zhengyu's expression just now didn't seem fake!"
Especially the part about loving only one person for a lifetime, it really made her heart race…
As a good friend, Ye Xinglan naturally couldn't stand by and watch Xu Xiaoyan be deceived, saying softly, "Xiao Yan, remember when we went to buy clothes last time? I saw him being all chummy with a bunch of women!"
True to form, Xu Xiaoyan's face cooled in an instant. Changing her previous demeanor, she pressed the button straight away…
She hated men with a fickle heart!
Seeing their actions, Yue Zhengyu grew anxious, his eyes seeming to say one thing!
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Leave a light on for me to save face, will you?"
Because of the decisive actions of Wu Siduo and the others to turn off their lights, the rest of the Sea Fairies also didn't hesitate, pressing their buttons one after another…
After a few minutes passed, looking at the stage again, one would find that there were no less than nineteen lights still on!
Yue Zhengyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowing slightly and saying, "Thank you to the beautiful Sea Fairies for keeping a light on for me!"
"Buzz!"
The moment after he finished speaking, another light went out…
Finally, there were eighteen lights remaining!
This made Yue Zhengyu dare not make any more rash moves, turning his gaze toward Cai Yue'er…
She smiled slightly. "It seems the Sea Fairies have high hopes for our number three contestant, leaving behind eighteen lights! It's a good start. The following male contestants need to keep up the pace!"
Tang Wulin smacked his lips and said, "If it weren't for Gu Yue and the others collectively turning off their lights, probably even more Sea Fairies would have kept the lights on!"
Xie Xie clenched his fists and said, "Yeah, but well done. People like Yue Zhengyu, claiming to only love one person for a lifetime? It's utterly nonsense! Lizhi, you agree, right?"
Xu Lizhi, who was only focusing on Ye Xinglan and didn't care what was being asked, subconsciously replied, "Mmm, mmm!!"
