Douluo Dalu 3: Legend of the White Fox

Bang!

With a loud noise, Yun Ming directly subdued Feng Wuyu and Zhuo Shi.

"Do you yield?" Yun Ming asked calmly.

"No way!" Feng Wuyu and Zhuo Shi responded without hesitation. "Even though we can't defeat you, we refuse to submit!"

A shocking piece of news spread: Shrek Academy's Skycovering Douluo, Yun Ming, will marry the Spirit Pagoda's Vice Pagoda Master, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, in five days.

Xia Yi was stunned the moment he woke up to this news.

Shrek Academy even granted a one-week holiday for the occasion.

Last night, under Yali's persistent persuasion, Yun Ming finally agreed.

But the real reason was that Yun Ming wanted to keep Xia Yi, the "Child of Destiny," within Shrek Academy.

Yun Ming swore that he was absolutely not marrying Leng Yaozhu out of lust for her beauty.

"What the hell is going on?"

As soon as Xia Yi heard the news, he immediately grabbed his soul communicator to call Leng Yaozhu. However, when he opened it, he saw a message she had sent at midnight:

"I will be in seclusion for a week. Do not disturb me."

"Five days... a week... you're playing with fire," Xia Yi muttered. He originally thought Leng Yaozhu was just playing along with Yali's antics, but he never expected her to take it this far.

Yun Ming, despite stepping down as the Sea God Pavilion Master, was still the true power behind the Pavilion.

He remained the strongest person of their time.

His wedding would draw the most influential figures from across the continent.

Not only government and military officials but even hidden sects would likely attend.

People from Star Luo Continent and Dou Ling Continent would also come.

Five days might not be enough for a ship to make the journey, but a plane? More than sufficient.

Xia Yi could already picture the scene: five days later, Yun Ming, leading the Sea God Pavilion members, proudly setting off to the Spirit Pagoda, surrounded by a host of dignitaries, only to find that Leng Yaozhu never shows up.

That scene would be beyond spectacular.

This would be more humiliating than being rejected in a marriage proposal.

Especially for a figure as powerful as Yun Ming and an institution as grand as Shrek Academy.

It would be a resounding slap to Shrek Academy's face.

"Who knows? Maybe in a few years, there will be a novel titled, The Skycovering Douluo Was Betrayed on His Wedding Night, and Three Years Later, He Returned in Vengeance..." Xia Yi mused, amused by the idea.

Should he run away?

His martial soul had already evolved, and while Shrek Academy was beneficial for his cultivation, what if they took their anger out on him?

"Run? Hell no! Leng Yaozhu is the one playing with Shrek Academy, not me. If she's not afraid, why should I be?" Xia Yi quickly dismissed the thought.

Besides, if he ran away, how would he enjoy the spectacle?

Spirit Pagoda – Top Floor

Qian Gu Dong Feng's face was dark with fury as he slammed his hand on the table, shattering the millennium-old ironwood into dust.

Leng Yaozhu was his Spirit Pagoda's Vice Pagoda Master!

Even if she liked Yun Ming, she should have at least informed the Pagoda's high-level executives beforehand.

Announcing it like this—what was she thinking?

The worst part? He had no reason to punish her.

If Leng Yaozhu were merely becoming Yun Ming's concubine, he could have used that as an excuse to make things difficult for her or even strip her of her title.

But no—Shrek Academy publicly declared that Leng Yaozhu was marrying Yun Ming as his wife.

This was her private affair, and as the wife of the Skycovering Douluo, she was still qualified to be the Spirit Pagoda's Vice Pagoda Master.

Moreover, with the Holy Spirit Cult running rampant, now was the time for all factions to unite.

Leng Yaozhu's marriage to Yun Ming made sense both politically and personally.

Qian Gu Dong Feng had no justifiable reason to oppose it.

"Damn it!" Qian Gu Dong Feng gritted his teeth, instantly appearing outside Leng Yaozhu's office.

He wanted to ask her what the hell she was thinking.

Standing at her door, Qian Gu Dong Feng resisted the urge to kick it down and knocked instead.

"Knock, knock, knock…"

"Knock, knock, knock!"

No response. Qian Gu Dong Feng's brows furrowed tightly.

At that moment, a voice called out, "Pagoda Master."

Qian Gu Dong Feng turned to see Long Yali, Leng Yaozhu's secretary, bowing to him.

"Yali? No need for formalities. Where is the Vice Pagoda Master?" he asked.

"Heavenly Phoenix Douluo has entered seclusion," Long Yali quickly replied. "She instructed that no one is to disturb her for a week."

"A week? Seven days? Do you take me for a fool?" Qian Gu Dong Feng's Ultimate Douluo-level aura exploded as he grabbed Long Yali by the throat and slammed her against the wall.

His frustration over Leng Yaozhu's marriage had already put him in a foul mood.

Now, even her secretary was trying to deceive him?

He was furious.

With a slight squeeze, Long Yali's bones creaked under the pressure.

"Leng Yaozhu is getting married to Yun Ming in five days, and you're telling me she's in seclusion for a week? What exactly are you trying to do?" Qian Gu Dong Feng's voice was ice-cold.

"I… I swear… it's the truth," Long Yali gasped, barely able to speak. "Heavenly Phoenix Douluo truly went into seclusion for a week. As for the marriage… Shrek Academy has been the only one promoting it. She never once confirmed it herself."

Despite the excruciating pain, Long Yali spoke carefully—one wrong word could mean death.

"What… did you say?" The murderous glint in Qian Gu Dong Feng's eyes faded.

He slowly released his grip.

"Cough, cough!" Long Yali collapsed, gasping for air. "This morning, when I saw Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, her eyes were cold—not a trace of joy or anticipation. She was absolutely not preparing for a wedding. Before I could ask her anything, she simply told me she was going into seclusion and then disappeared."

"I see. You may go," Qian Gu Dong Feng waved her away.

"Thank you, Pagoda Master," Long Yali hurriedly bowed.

"Wait." Qian Gu Dong Feng suddenly stopped her. "How much of your Three-Word Battle Armor is complete?"

"Pagoda Master, I've only just begun!" Long Yali's heart leaped with joy.

She knew Qian Gu Dong Feng was about to compensate her.

These powerful figures loved to give a "sweet treat" after delivering a slap.

"Since you have faithfully served the Vice Pagoda Master, go to the forging hall. Tell Elder Li to craft the metal for your Three-Word Battle Armor. The Spirit Pagoda will cover all expenses. Choose any metal you wish."

"Also, do not speak a word about Leng Yaozhu's seclusion," Qian Gu Dong Feng ordered before leaving.

"Yes, Pagoda Master!" Long Yali bowed deeply.

Back in his office, Qian Gu Dong Feng burst into laughter.

He didn't know why Leng Yaozhu was humiliating Shrek Academy, but the thought of Yun Ming's embarrassment in five days made him ecstatic.

"Summon my aide," he ordered.

Soon, a middle-aged man arrived.

"Shrek Academy will come soon to discuss the wedding. Make things as difficult as possible for them—without outright rejecting them. You understand?"

"Understood, leave it to me," the man grinned.

"Oh, and quietly prepare a wedding gift. I will personally attend to congratulate Skycovering Douluo."

Five days later, once all the guests had arrived, even if Shrek Academy realized something was wrong, it would be too late.
