บท 36: Love Confession?

In the vibrant Sea God's Lake, the energy surged as the Sea God's Fate event entered its second phase.

The host, brimming with enthusiasm, took center stage to announce the rules for the Love Confession phase.

"There are now only 82 men and 82 women participating in this phase."

"Ladies, don't celebrate just yet because you met someone in your Fated Meeting! That's just the beginning stages of the event!"

The crowd buzzed with anticipation as the host continued to lay out the rules.

"In the Love Confession phase, each of the 82 men will be given one chance to publicly introduce themselves and confess their feelings to the women they encountered in the Fated Meeting."

"But wait, there's more!"

"To spice things up, all 82 men have the option to confess their love to other 82 women who is still participating if they feel the one they met initially is not their fated match."

The audience erupted in whispers and excitement at the unexpected twist. The atmosphere became charged with a blend of nervousness, curiosity, and a hint of mischief.

"And here's the rules! Unlike the first phase, violence is strictly prohibited in the second phase. However, you're free to showcase your impressive Spiritual Abilities to dazzle the ladies and make a lasting impression!"

"Women who accepts the confession from men will move on straight to the final phase, and those who don't will be move on to the third phase, so guys! Choose your choices carefully!"

As the host's words echoed in the pavilion, the participating men exchanged glances, each contemplating their strategy for the upcoming Love Confession.

Some wore confident smiles, while others nervously adjusted their attire. The women, still veiled and perched on their water lilies, awaited the whirlwind of confessions about to unfold.

Feng Qian, Feng Linlin, Feng Jin, and Feng Chenxing found themselves amidst the throng of participants, each with their own thoughts and feelings about the impending confessions.

The challenge was set, and the Sea God's Fate event was about to enter a new phase of intrigue and revelation.

Soon, a mysterious man came out of Feng Linlin's lotus and went straight to the lotus where the Auspicious Beast Emperor and Feng Qian were.

Upon seeing the mysterious man leave her water lily, Feng Linlin shouted to encourage the man. "Good luck uncle! You can do it!"

Few moments ago...

Amidst the Sea God's Fate event, Feng Linlin found herself in a peculiar situation.

Instead of her brother, Feng Qian, unveiling her face, a mysterious man with a handsome face, golden hair, and a beautiful Osmanthus tattoo on his cheek emerged as the one to open her veil.

Feng Linlin, feeling a mix of confusion, worry for her brother, and a bit of anxiety towards the man, confronted him. "Who are you?"

In her thoughts, she resembled a concerned little girl, wondering about her brother's well-being and feeling uneasy about the stranger before her. "What happened to Brother? Did this uncle do something to Brother?"

The man, who seemed to hear her thoughts, furrowed his brow apologetically. "I'm sorry if I'm not the one you were waiting for..."

Observing Feng Linlin's silence, he continued and introduced himself.

"Oh right, I'm also a Spirit Beast, a Golden Osmanthus, and I'm not that old to be called an uncle... Nice to meet you, White Tiger. You are Feng Linlin, right?"

Feeling intrigued and awkward, Feng Linlin maintained her guard, thinking, "This uncle looks weird. How does he know Linlin's name? This uncle must have done something to Brother Qian!"

Meanwhile, the man's face contorted slightly due to being called an uncle. "I-I'm not that old to be called an uncle, we should be around the same age, you see? and I didn't do anything to your brother. Trust me..."

Surprised, Feng Linlin thought "I'm fourteen, Uncle, You can read my mind?"

The man, who then realized his slip of the tongue, spoke. "I'm sorry I got careless. Yes, I can read people's minds. I hope I didn't scare you."

However, rather than being afraid, Feng Linlin was excited. "Woah! That looks fun. I wish I could do it too!"

The man chuckled, expressing a more somber truth. "Haha... It seems fun at first, but it's not as enjoyable as you think."

Not fully comprehending, Feng Linlin continued. "Do you know where my brother is?"

The man then explained that his young miss had planned this event to have a conversation with Feng Qian, given he was an Auspicious Beast.

While Feng Linlin didn't entirely grasp the purpose, she felt comforted knowing her brother would find her later.

She then passionately spoke about Feng Qian, and the man observed the purity of her feelings.

As they talked, the man, was quite jealous of the genuine emotions Feng Linlin had towards Feng Qian.

If he could be the least bit selfish, he hoped his young lady could harbor the same genuine emotions towards him.

Soon, upon hearing that the first phase had concluded and the second was about to start, "Good luck uncle! You can do it!" Feng Linlin, now elated, encouraged the man after convincing him to confess his love to his young miss.

...

With that, the man steeled his heart from his nervousness, standing in front of his young miss' water lily while being watched by the excited crowd, he then shouted.

"I-I...."

However, suddenly...

Rumble, Rumble~~

The crowd, which had been excited, immediately panicked because suddenly a large earthquake occurred, disrupting the ongoing event.

"T-The Sea God Temple is under attack!!"

Someone shouted while pointing towards the top of the mountain where the Sea God Temple was located.

In the chaotic night sky above the Sea God Temple, three majestic colossal sea creatures were facing the enormous Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian.
