Douluo Dalu 3: Legend of the White Fox

After receiving Yun Ming's permission, Yali took a deep breath and slowly opened the box that Leng Yaozhu had given her.

In truth, Yun Ming didn't want to open this box either.

With so many people watching, if the contents of the box were something where Leng Yaozhu was publicly annulling their engagement, what was he supposed to do?

This could very well be the greatest humiliation in the history of Shrek Academy.

But because so many people were watching, he had no choice but to open it.

Otherwise, if the media and the crowd were left to speculate, he might never be able to clear his name.

As Yali slowly opened the lid of the box, a red light appeared, and Leng Yaozhu's figure materialized in front of everyone.

She was still wearing the black casual outfit that Leng Yulei had bought for her. Although the clothes were simple and the style old, paired with her fiery red long hair and jade-like appearance, she had the pure, youthful charm of a girl in her twenties.

When Leng Yulei had bought her this outfit, she had only been in her twenties.

"This is the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo? No wonder she's the first beauty of the Spirit Pagoda, it makes sense that the Skycovering Douluo would want to marry her, even going so far as to force his way into the Spirit Pagoda."

"She's pretty, but so what? She dares to reject the Skycovering Douluo? She doesn't seem like a good person."

"Exactly, just a seductress."

Upon seeing Leng Yaozhu's figure, the crowd began to murmur among themselves.

A group of girls ground their teeth as they watched Leng Yaozhu, unable to accept that she was still so beautiful at her age.

They then sympathized with Yun Ming and vented their jealousy.

Yun Ming's mouth twitched slightly. With his cultivation level, how could he not hear these girls' discussions?

What do they mean, "He can't wait"?

In reality, it had been Leng Yaozhu who had pursued him for years, and he hadn't wanted her.

"This is the manifestation of thought, and it can imprint part of one's mental energy into a small box, forcibly preserving the visualized content. What a brilliant method," Long Ye Yue said coldly.

In the visualization of thoughts, Leng Yaozhu was sitting on a couch, and she seemed to have anticipated the current situation.

Her brow slightly raised as she calmly said, "If the box has been opened, that means the Skycovering Douluo is either about to take action or has already done so."

No one responded, and no one spoke up. This was Leng Yaozhu's mental projection that she had preserved beforehand.

In some ways, it was like a pre-recorded video.

All they had to do was watch quietly.

About a second later, Leng Yaozhu spoke again. Her stunning face broke into a radiant smile as her beautiful eyes scanned the crowd, seemingly making eye contact with the important figures in front of her. She said, "I'm sure everyone is curious as to why I ran away from the wedding. It's actually quite simple. I watched 'The Tale of the Heavenly Fox,' which mentioned that the Sky Pillar Douluo is a eunuch. I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life."

Silence!

A deathly silence!

The wedding procession from Shrek Academy, the Spirit Pagoda's people, and the onlookers—there were more than 100,000 people present at this moment.

But now, no one dared to make a single sound. Everyone unconsciously held their breath.

Even Qingu Dongfeng felt the same way.

Although he wanted to laugh out loud, he suppressed it due to his status.

Xia Yi and Gu Yue were stunned in the carriage. They had never expected such words to come out of Leng Yaozhu's mouth.

From far away, Xia Yi could already feel the boundless anger emanating from Yun Ming and the powerhouses of Shrek Academy.

The first to react was Yali. She raised her hand and immediately slapped the box that contained Leng Yaozhu's mental projection, shattering it into pieces.

However, the manifestation of thought was not a pre-recorded video. Once the box was opened, the meaning of the box no longer existed.

Even though the box had been smashed, the content of the mental projection still remained.

"Leng Yaozhu..." Yali's fingers turned white as she gritted her teeth. Each word she spoke was full of killing intent, as if she wanted to eat Leng Yaozhu alive.

The Holy Spirit Sect could be written off, as everyone knew the Holy Spirit Sect was talking nonsense.

But if Leng Yaozhu publicly claimed that Yun Ming was a eunuch and used that as an excuse to annul their engagement, then from now on, Yun Ming would indeed be labeled as a eunuch.

Unless Yun Ming took off his pants to prove his innocence, there would be no way to clear things up.

Leng Yaozhu still smiled, as if she had already anticipated Yali's move. She said, "Yali, dear, women get old quickly when they're angry. You really should work on your temper."

"I was just joking. Don't get so mad, Yali." The mental projection of Leng Yaozhu shook her head, and the next moment, Xia Yi appeared in the scene.

Leng Yaozhu pulled Xia Yi's hand and abruptly lifted her head. Her sharp gaze made everyone jump in surprise.

Although it was just a mental projection, Yali could feel that Leng Yaozhu was indeed staring at her.

"Didn't they say that the manifestation of thought can only show things that have really happened? How did she manage to do this?" Xia Yi muttered to himself. He didn't remember Leng Yaozhu ever holding his hand like that.

Leng Yaozhu coldly stared at Yali from across space, her voice ice-cold as she said, "Yali, are you underestimating me? Xia Yi is my student, and I understand him better than anyone. As long as he's in front of me, even without his martial soul attached, I can sense his martial soul's state. His martial soul has already evolved, but you're using his evolution as leverage to force me to marry the Skycovering Douluo. Are you looking down on me, Leng Yaozhu? Or are you implying that I'm an irresponsible teacher who doesn't even know the condition of my own student's martial soul?"

As soon as Leng Yaozhu finished speaking, there was a commotion around her.

Everyone looked shocked, including Extreme Douluos like Qiangu Dongfeng, Cang Xin, and Yuan En Zhen Tian.

"What? The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo was actually coerced into marrying the Sky Pillar Douluo by the Holy Spirit Douluo? And this is how she was coerced?"

"I can't believe it. No wonder the Spirit Pagoda doesn't acknowledge this wedding. No wonder the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo ran away from the wedding."

"No, I don't believe it. I can't believe the Holy Spirit Douluo would do such a thing. Leng Yaozhu must be lying."

Someone shouted loudly. Yali had always been seen as kind and beautiful in their hearts.

They couldn't believe it, and they couldn't accept that Yali would do such a thing.

However, Yali remained silent.

She just lowered her head and said nothing.

If Leng Yaozhu were here, she would certainly question her. This was a matter between the two of them; why drag Shrek Academy into it?

But now the entire Shrek Academy was in a difficult position.

Yet Leng Yaozhu was merely a projection of her mental energy.

As long as what she said was true, Yali couldn't refute it.

Yali's silence was effectively an admission of Leng Yaozhu's words.

This caused the diehard fans of Yali to feel their hearts sink.

Leng Yaozhu then spoke again, saying, "Yali, I know what you're thinking, and I can guess your intentions. If you had just come to the Spirit Pagoda or the Leng family to propose marriage openly, I might have agreed to it. But instead, you chose this self-righteous approach."

"Of course, I'm not truly angry about you threatening me with Xia Yi. The reason everything turned out like this is for two reasons: First, the Sea God Pavilion members ambushed Xia Yi in the Soul Fighting Arena, framed the Skycovering Douluo, and protected the real culprit, letting them go free. I'm not happy about that. Second, Shrek Academy promised me that no one over the age of fifteen would lay a hand on Xia Yi. But Xia Yi had just entered Shrek Academy, and you had a seven-ring Battle Armor Master test him. What's the meaning of that? Are you all full of nonsense?"

"I've been quiet all these days, just waiting for Shrek Academy to explain, but has anyone said a word?"

Leng Yaozhu snorted coldly and continued, "Do you all think that just because Xia Yi is fine, this matter can be forgotten? Heh, Yali, did you forget what I said before? Whenever something happens, you should always put yourself in others' shoes. Let me ask you all, if I went to kill one of your students and didn't succeed, and then immediately had a seven-ring Battle Armor Master attack, would you let it slide?"

Listening to Leng Yaozhu's question, the Sea God Pavilion powerhouses of Shrek Academy were all speechless.

If they had been in her shoes, they would have gone to confront the situation head-on long ago.

Leng Yaozhu continued coldly, "Let me tell you all, I, Leng Yaozhu, don't seek trouble, but I'm not afraid of it. If any of you old fogies dare to lay a hand on my student, you better be ready to face my wrath."

With that, the scene in the mental projection immediately vanished with a snap.

Both the Shrek Academy wedding procession and the crowd of onlookers fell into a deep silence.

They had no way to counter Leng Yaozhu's words.

The last words Leng Yaozhu spoke were similar to what Yun Ming had just said.

The difference was that Yun Ming needed someone to back him up.

But Leng Yaozhu directly silenced them with her words.

"Shall we go back?" After a long while, Yun Ming slowly said.

At that moment, he seemed to have lost the calmness and confidence he had earlier. He looked drained, as though all his strength had been drained, and appeared much older.
