Chapter 1705: Love at Second Sight (Please Subscribe)_1

Cai Yue'er swept her gaze over the Sea Fairies and male students, then spoke, "Now, please, all male students who were not chosen by a Sea Fairy to have their lanterns remain lit, kindly leave. We will proceed to the next segment!"

Because Xu Sheng was the final participant who made all the Sea Fairies leave their lanterns lit for her, they all were able to take part in the upcoming segment!

Upon hearing this, the male students who had not yet left the Sea God's Matchmaking event sighed and quickly made their exits...

The observing students couldn't help but remark, "There aren't many male students left, yet there are still seventy Sea Fairies! This time, it's truly a case of too few monks for too much meat."

"It can't be helped, the numbers of the two sides were originally similar, but many male students weren't kept by the lighting of lanterns, what a pity!"

"Most participating students are from the outer courtyard, so it's natural that they are not very strong in terms of ability. It's normal for them not to be picked!"

Then, Cai Yue'er spoke again, "After the first segment of mutual admiration and the second segment of love at first sight, I believe everyone has gradually come to understand the Sea God's Matchmaking event."

"Now, we shall begin an incredibly important segment of the Sea God's Matchmaking event, love at second sight. Unlike the first two segments, after this one, everything will become clear!"

"Of course, the rules are very simple. Each male student will have one minute for self-introduction. During this time, you can use words or display your strength to move the Sea Fairies, and then come to me and report the Sea Fairy of your choice."

"The female students, after all male students have finished introducing themselves, will make the final selection. Each Sea Fairy only has one opportunity and cannot change her mind!"

After her words fell, Xie Xie clenched his fists and said, "Finally, the most exciting moment has arrived! Whether one can win a beauty's heart depends on this segment!"

Yue Zhengyu frowned and commented, "This requires not only the male students to choose their desired Sea Fairy but also the Sea Fairies to choose them as well, truly a bit challenging!"

What if the Sea Fairy one admired chose someone else? What would the situation be then?

Tang Wulin, on the other hand, appeared rather relaxed as he analyzed, "Listening to Academy President Cai's words just now, there should be a fourth segment, so, we just need to choose the Sea Fairy we like in this segment!"

The rest of the male students hurriedly said, "Gentlemen, please don't fight over Sea Fairy number fourteen with me; she's the one I adore!"

"Since it's been put out there, let me be frank as well. Sea Fairy number eighteen has been my girlfriend all along, so please show some generosity, everyone!"

"Didn't you hear what Academy President Cai said? This segment isn't just about the male students choosing, the Sea Fairies have to make their choice as well!"

"You say don't fight over them, and we're supposed to agree? Everyone has the right to pursue the one they love!"

"That's right, enough talk, everyone relies on their own abilities to win the favor of a Sea Fairy!"

Seeing that the time was about right, Cai Yue'er interrupted, "It seems that the male students are all quite confident. Now, let's begin the third segment, love at second sight. For fairness, we will use drawing lots to determine the order of appearances!"

After finishing her statement, she took out a lot-drawing cylinder from her storage soul tool and drew a bamboo slip from within...

"The first male student to introduce himself is number twenty-six, please welcome number twenty-six."

Male student number twenty-six, though not very handsome, could be considered clean-cut...

He walked shyly to the center of Sea God's Lake, his gaze fixed on the Sea Fairies in front of him...

Cai Yue'er glanced at him, "Student number twenty-six, are you ready?"

The male student took a deep breath and then nodded...

Cai Yue'er pursed her lips and, with a swift wave of her hand, announced, "Then, the one-minute countdown starts now!"

Almost simultaneously, the male student seriously began his self-introduction, "Greetings to all Sea Fairies, my name is Wang Li, and my Martial Soul is the Snowfield Ice Wolf! I've recently made a breakthrough to become a Soul Ancestor!"

As he spoke, he quickly released his Martial Soul...

Barely visible behind him emerged a lone wolf covered in pale white fur, its cold aura creating a faint frost all around...

He then continued, "I am here at the Sea God's Matchmaking event today with the hope of finding a life partner to share my life with..."

...

After a minute had passed, Cai Yue'er didn't hesitate to interrupt contestant number twenty-six, "One minute is up. Please, contestant number twenty-six, tell me the number of the Sea Fairy you fancy!"

Upon hearing this, the male contestant stepped forward to Cai Yue'er and confided his top pick to her...

A look of surprise appeared on Cai Yue'er's cheeks, which she quickly regained her composure...

Then she drew another bamboo stick from the tube, "The second contestant drawn is number fifteen! Please, contestant number fifteen!"

Without a doubt, number fifteen was none other than Xie Xie, dressed in black attire!!

Tang Wulin encouraged him from the side, "Xie Xie, go for it. If Ye Hui thought there was no chance with you, she definitely wouldn't have left her light on!"

Yue Zhengyu also arched an eyebrow, "That's right, you've got to seize the moment. If I get picked later, who knows if Ye Hui might fall for me!"

Xu Lizhi whispered as well, "Xie Xie... you can do it!"

Xie Xie, uncharacteristically, didn't retort but seriously said, "I will!"

After saying this, he transformed into a residual image and vanished above the lotus leaf in an instant...

When he came into view again, he was clearly already at the center of Sea God's Lake...

Cai Yue'er nodded slightly, "Contestant number fifteen, if you're ready, then begin!"

Xie Xie didn't hesitate and began to speak, "First, please allow me to apologize once again to the Sea Fairies who left their lights on for me during the second segment! Thank you for choosing me!"

This apologetic opening act left the Sea Fairies opposite him quite surprised...

After all, in this segment, the male contestants were supposed to introduce themselves first but Xie Xie didn't do so!

This intrigued the Sea Fairies even more about what he was going to say next...

Xie Xie continued, "I joined this Sea God's Fate Matchmaking event not in search of a compatible partner, but because the Sea Fairy I fancy is also participating in this event..."

...

"I am saying these things only to prove one thing, for her, I am willing to give up everything and am even prepared to make the greatest effort to pursue her!"

"With that said, thank you to all the Sea Fairies for listening to my heart outpour!"

Throughout his narrative, he never mentioned the name of the one he loved, but the female students had already figured out the answer!

That person was Yuanen Yehui!

Yue Zhengyu pursed his lips, "Hard to believe Xie Xie could say something so heart-wrenching. He's a true romantic!"

Tang Wulin glanced at him, "Zhengyu, Xie Xie is different from you; he's not a womanizer like you are!"

And Xu Lizhi, his gaze alight with fighting spirit...

Xie Xie's words had ignited a fire within him, and he had already decided to say everything in his heart when it was his turn!
