Douluo Dalu 3: Legend of the White Fox

"Where did you get that melon?"

Gu Yue looked at Xia Yi, who was lying on the car window and munching on watermelon. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"I just swiped it from Shrek Academy. How about it? Want some?" Xia Yi grinned, splitting the watermelon in half and offering one piece to Gu Yue. He then pulled out several plates of pastries.

When they had just left Shrek Academy, preparations for the wedding banquet had already begun.

As long as Yun Ming brought Leng Yaozhu back, the banquet would start immediately.

Xia Yi had taken the opportunity to grab a little snack along the way.

"You're focusing on things like this?" Gu Yue took the half watermelon from Xia Yi without hesitation. Not caring that Xia Yi had bitten into it, she rolled her eyes at him before mimicking his actions.

She leaned against the car window, munching on melon while watching the big drama unfolding at Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda.

Whether it was eating melon or watching the drama, she was enjoying it immensely.

"Just something convenient," Xia Yi chuckled and then asked, "By the way, do you have any idea what your teacher is really thinking?"

"I don't know either," Gu Yue shook her head. She could understand Leng Yaozhu's anger, but the way she handled things had really gone a bit too far.

Given Leng Yaozhu's personality, she shouldn't have acted this way.

After all, doing this would easily cause a rift between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy.

At this moment, both Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda were at a point where they could draw their swords at any time.

But everyone was holding back, no one dared to act hastily.

Both Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda were top-tier organizations on Douluo Continent. If they went to war, the entire continent would be thrown into chaos.

No one could bear the consequences.

"Tower Master, today is quite a spectacle. Your joke is a bit too much," Tang sect's Amorous Douluo, Zang Xin, approached the Sea God Pavilion members and said, "We are all important figures. You in the Spirit Pagoda are going back on your word, don't you fear being laughed at?"

Before Qing Gu Dongfeng could speak, the figure of the Sea God Douluo, Chen Xinjie, slowly appeared before Qing Gu Dongfeng. He clasped his fists and said, "Tower Master, everyone knows the feelings between the Phoenix and the Sky. As the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up a single marriage. We are all getting old, and if we miss this chance, we might regret it for the rest of our lives. Please, Tower Master, consider the deep feelings the Phoenix has for you. This kindness will surely be remembered by Shrek Academy and the Sky Douluo."

"Amorous Douluo and Sea God Douluo are right. Tower Master, look at this festive atmosphere today. Do you really want to ruin it?" said Yuan En Zhendian of the Yuan En family.

"You all trying to pressure me?" Qing Gu Dongfeng shook his head indifferently and said, "Don't say it's all of you, even if a true god came, I wouldn't hand over the Phoenix Douluo. I've already said it many times, I don't know where she is now."

"Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda's headquarters are in Shrek City. Everyone sees each other every day. Tower Master, do you really want to make things this absolute?" Amorous Douluo Zang Xin's tone grew sharper.

"I also want to see our Deputy Tower Master and the Skycovering Douluo end up together, but I've said it already—our Deputy Tower Master is not in the Spirit Pagoda." Qing Gu Dongfeng repeated the same words.

Seeing Qing Gu Dongfeng's words not getting through, Yun Ming could no longer hold back. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Tower Master, whether or not Phoenix Douluo is willing to marry me, Yun Ming, please at least let me see her. If she's being detained by the Spirit Pagoda because of me, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

"I've explained this many times, and I don't want to explain it anymore," Qing Gu Dongfeng still shook his head.

"Since that's the case, I'll have to go into the Spirit Pagoda myself to find her," Yun Ming's voice was low but sharp.

"Do you want to force your way into the Spirit Pagoda and start a war?" Qing Gu Dongfeng asked coldly.

Yun Ming ignored him and turned to face the high-ranking members of the various organizations in the wedding procession. He loudly said, "Everyone, you've all seen what happened today. It's not me, Yun Ming, who started this trouble, and it's not Shrek Academy being unreasonable. I don't want to stir up trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. Please bear witness to this. I, Yun Ming, am only going into the Spirit Pagoda to find my fiancée. I am not trying to escalate the conflict between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy, nor am I trying to forcibly break into the Spirit Pagoda."

After saying that, Yun Ming gripped his Sky God Spear.

The terrifying aura made the nearby Limit Douluo-level experts' eyelids twitch.

"Skycovering Douluo, I am willing to testify for you. The responsibility for today's events does not lie with you," the first to speak up was Zang Xin, Tangmen's Affectionate Douluo from Shrek Academy.

"I also wish to testify for Skycovering Douluo."

"We too, we are willing to testify for Skycovering Douluo."

"We are also willing to testify for Skycoerig Douluo."

Seeing this scene, the crowd of onlookers grew excited.

"I heard that the Holy Spirit Douluo was taken by Yun Ming in Mingdu, and now Skycovering Douluo is about to repeat the heroic act of forcibly taking Phoenix Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda. Oh my god, I'm witnessing history!" The onlookers grew even more thrilled as they saw Yun Ming preparing to take action, afraid of missing any details.

"I'll ask one last time—will you let me see my fiancée?" Yun Ming plunged the Sky God Spear into the ground. He didn't want to use the spear against Qing Gu Dongfeng unless absolutely necessary.

"I've already said, the marriage between you and Phoenix Douluo has only been publicized by Shrek Academy. The Spirit Pagoda has never officially acknowledged it. Phoenix Douluo is not your fiancée, and she is not in the Spirit Pagoda," Qing Gu Dongfeng repeated his previous statement.

"Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble you then," Yun Ming took a deep breath and slowly raised the Sky God Spear.

Qing Gu Dongfeng squinted his eyes and summoned his Dragon-Slaying Staff.

He was the Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, and in front of so many people, how could he let Yun Ming force his way into the Spirit Pagoda?

"They're about to fight! They're about to fight!" Xia Yi stopped eating the watermelon and stared, not wanting to miss any details.

Such a high-level clash of powers was rare to see.

Even just spectating could be beneficial for his own cultivation.

"Both of you, please don't fight!"

At the critical moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

Xia Yi looked up, and saw a middle-aged man with red hair descending from the sky.

"Leng Feng!" Qing Gu Dongfeng was momentarily stunned. The newcomer was a long-time elder from Leng Yaozhu's family, a ninety-five-level Super Douluo.

By seniority, he would have to call Leng Yaozhu "aunt."

"The Tower Master sent me," Leng Feng clasped his fists towards Qing Gu Dongfeng and then turned to Yun Ming, once again bowing and saying, "Skycovering Douluo, the Tower Master wasn't lying. Our family's master is in seclusion. She's not in the Spirit Pagoda, and we don't even know where she's secluded."

"What does your family master mean?" Ya Li quickly asked, her face turning ugly. If Leng Yaozhu really chose to seclude herself at this time, the meaning was clear.

She had arranged such a grand wedding for Yun Ming and Leng Yaozhu to prevent her from having second thoughts.

She never expected Leng Yaozhu would really leave everyone hanging.

"Regarding the meaning of the family head, I dare not speculate. Five days ago, when she entered seclusion, she didn't tell us how long she would be gone," Leng Feng smiled wryly, taking out a box and handing it to Ya Li. "Before entering seclusion, the family head asked me to give this to you if things went beyond control."

"What's inside?" Ya Li asked, her face darkening.

"The family head didn't say, and I didn't dare to ask," Leng Feng replied.

Ya Li took the box from Leng Feng and turned to look at Yun Ming.

Leng Yaozhu wasn't coming, and only a box was sent. The meaning was clear.

No matter what was inside, Yun Ming's reputation was doomed today.

Even now, Ya Li couldn't understand why Leng Yaozhu would do this.

Leng Yaozhu had liked Yun Ming for so many years.

Why would she reject such an opportunity to marry Yun Ming?

This shouldn't be happening.

"Open it!" Yun Ming said in a deep voice.

He, too, couldn't understand what Leng Yaozhu was thinking.

He had always been confident in his own charm.

He never expected that today, he would fall into a trap.
