Chapter 1684: Preparations for the Sea God's Blind Date Convention (Subscription Request)_1

The next day, the inner court of Shrek Academy was bustling early in the morning with people setting up the Sea God Love Matchmaking Event venue...

Xie Xie glanced at them, stretched lazily, and said, "They're starting to set up so early? It seems the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion really attach great importance to this event!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Yeah, and judging by the look of it, they've definitely given a generous budget!!"

Ye Xinglan chuckled lightly, "After all, it's an event that's held only once every few years. We can't just make do and be done with it, especially with the outer courtyard students watching!"

Xu Lizhi rubbed his honest-looking cheeks, "I just wonder if there will be good food on the day! Hehe."

Ye Xinglan's face darkened as she knocked on his head, scolding, "Lizhi, all you think about is eating! Didn't you say a long time ago that you were going to diet?"

Xu Lizhi winced, "Sister Xinglan, I... I was wrong, even if there is delicious food on the day, I'll just taste a mouthful, and I won't overindulge!"

After a semester and holiday of disciplined eating, his round body had slimmed down a notch, looking less bloated than before!

But to get completely slim, he still needed a lot of time!

Watching the two playfully arguing, Tang Wulin revealed an envious look, "Lizhi and Xing Lan really have a great relationship!"

Gu Yue sipped her thin lips, "Yeah, just like when we first met..."

This remark snapped Tang Wulin back to reality, his face filled with confusion, "Huh? Gu Yue, did you just say something?"

Gu Yue shook her head without changing her expression, "No... nothing, you must have heard wrong!"

That thing she obtained from the Dragon Tomb, how long should she wait to give it to him?

Forget it, she'd wait a little longer; she hadn't made her final decision yet...

Wu Siduo, expressionless, turned her head to the side and said indifferently, "I'm not interested in this Sea God Love Matchmaking Event. I'd rather spend the time cultivating!"

She knew very well, with her personality, there probably weren't any at Shrek Academy who liked her!

Of course, even if there were, they would be weaker than her!

After she spoke, Xu Xiaoyan immediately leaned in and reminded her, "Wu Siduo, that won't do. Every inner court student must participate in the Sea God Love Matchmaking Event!"

Sure enough, Wu Siduo began to frown deeply, "Must participate?"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded earnestly, "That's right, it's a long-standing rule. So, you can't run away from it!"

Then, turning to look at Yuanen Yehui, who had been silent, her eyes lit up as she said, "Right, Ye Hui, you're going to participate too, right?"

Yuanen Yehui paused, responding helplessly, "Didn't you just say so? It's the rule of the inner court, I can't avoid it even if I don't want to."

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan pulled both Wu Siduo and Yuanen Yehui by the hands and suggested, "How about this? Since the Sea God Love Matchmaking Event is still a few days away, let's go shopping in Shrek City today and get our outfits ready? What does everyone think?"

Xie Xie curled his lips and flicked his hair forward elegantly, chiming in first, "Tsk, handsome people look good in anything."

Yue Zhengyu nodded, patting his chest in agreement, "Exactly! No clothing can hide the charm that comes from within!"

Everyone's faces darkened in unison, silently bestowing the title of "narcissists" upon the two in their minds!

Xu Xiaoyan glared at them fiercely, "Ignore them, what do the rest of you think?"

Tang Wulin immediately agreed, "Sure, we have nothing to do anyway!"

Ye Xinglan continued, "I'm fine with it too! Since it's the Sea God Love Matchmaking Event, we should indeed dress up a bit, like wearing dresses or something?"

Wu Siduo glanced at her own clothes, "Although I'm reluctant, going to the Sea God Love Matchmaking Event dressed like this would definitely be embarrassing! No objections."

Seeing that no one objected, Xu Xiaoyan raised her right hand, pumped up, "Well then, since everyone agrees, let's head out!"

Just then, Ye Xinglan asked reflexively, "But, didn't we forget about Long Yue and Dai Yun'er?"

Xu Xiaoyan paused, "Oh right, I haven't seen them since this morning. Never mind them, we don't have time to look for them, let's go!!"

...

On the other side, Long Yue, who had concealed himself behind cover, whispered, "Yun'er, why did we sneak out of Shrek Academy's inner court?"

Could it be that the royal household of the Xingluo Empire had given Yun'er another mission?

And it seemed to be no simple task!

Dai Yun'er replied cautiously, "Of course, it's to prevent Tang Wulin and the others from finding out..."

Long Yue's expression grew solemn and he thought to himself, "Indeed, Dai Yueyan must have kept something from me!"

Then, with serious concern, he asked, "Yun'er, what is our mission??"

Dai Yun'er was stunned for a moment before regaining her composure, staring at Long Yue with a puzzled expression, "Mission? What mission?"

Long Yue frowned, "Didn't you just say that we need to avoid being discovered by Tang Wulin and the others?"

Dai Yun'er blinked her beautiful eyes, "Mhm, that's definitely the case, if those guys pick out all the nice clothes, I won't be able to make a stunning entrance at the Sea God's Origin Matchmaking Event!"

In that instant, Long Yue suddenly realized everything...

The corners of his mouth twitched a few times as he said resentfully, "If that's the case, there's no need to be so secretive, right? After all, we are exchange students now!"

Dai Yun'er suddenly bit her lip, ducking her head she mumbled, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Long, I think I just got used to it!"

When she was studying at the Monster Academy, she often snuck out when the teacher wasn't paying attention...

Now, it was just a conditioned response!

Hearing these words that seemed like an apology, the flickers of annoyance in Long Yue's heart quietly died down, and he coughed, "Ahem, it's... it's fine, Yun'er, aren't you going to look at clothes? We should hurry up and go!"

Seeing that he wasn't upset, Dai Yun'er happily responded, "Yeah!"

Subsequently, the two started to wander around Shrek City...

After a good two to three hours, Long Yue covered his waist, panting, "Yun'er, aren't there any clothes you like in these shops?"

Still energetic, Dai Yun'er pouted her lips, "Of course not, I am the Princess of the Xingluo Empire! Naturally, I need to dress in a way that stands out from the crowd!"

Long Yue laughed awkwardly, "Well... Yun'er, if it's just buying clothes, you could probably do it on your own, right?"

Why did they shop for so long, and yet she seemed unfazed?

Unexpectedly, Dai Yun'er suddenly turned around, her sparkling eyes full of determination, "No, I need Big Brother Long!"

Their eyes locked, and Long Yue's heartbeat began to quicken...

Could it be that Yun'er also feels something for me...

But the next sentence sent a chill down his spine...

"Because you're a man, Big Brother Long, you can help me choose which outfit is the most charming! That way, I can attract Elder Xu!"

As Long Yue's expression grew increasingly grim, he couldn't help clenching his right fist...

Elder, Elder, Elder Xu, why is it always that damned Elder Xu!
