Chapter 14: Cai'er Declares Sovereignty, A Kiss Under the Spotlight

"Long Haochen lost. What a pity. He's so handsome."

"I don't agree with that. Long Haochen is handsome, but isn't Yuehui handsome too?"

"."

Cai'er sat quietly in the stands, her pale eyes staring blankly toward the ring.

Although she couldn't witness Moonshine's battle because she had lost her sight, the constant exclamations of praise around her made the corners of her mouth unconsciously turn up slightly.

(Brother Moonlight is really amazing.)
However, the conversation that followed suddenly made her heart clench—

"I wonder if they have girlfriends."

"Yeah, yeah, I really want to date Yuehui~ I feel so happy lying in his arms!"

"."

(So ​​many people like Brother Yuehui?)
Cai'er unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, a strange panic welling up inside her.

The feeling was like having your most treasured possession taken away.

"Cai'er, what's wrong?"

A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Carrying the faint scent of thunder from the recent battle, Moonbeam had returned to her side.

"I am fine."

Cai'er hurriedly shook her head, her right hand unconsciously stroking the forget-me-not ring on her left hand.

"Are you going back now?" Yuehui gazed at the girl's slightly reddened earlobes, her voice softening unconsciously.

Cai'er's match hasn't started yet, and she's waiting here specifically to confirm Yuehui's victory or defeat as soon as possible.

Upon hearing the question, she silently extended her right hand, which hovered in mid-air:
"Well, please."

……

After dropping Cai'er off at her hotel, Yuehui returned to his own residence.

After taking a hot shower, he sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling refreshed, and was about to begin his cultivation.

"Boom boom boom——"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted his actions.

"Ok?"

Yuehui opened the door in confusion, only to find Li Zhengzhi standing outside with a smile.

"Grandpa, what brings you here?" Yuehui asked, somewhat surprised.

"What? You don't welcome Grandpa?" Li Zhengzhi shook his head, feigning sadness. "Could it be that there's a little girl hiding in the house?"

"There's no little girl here," Yuehui said helplessly, stepping aside to let him pass. "I was just about to start cultivating. Did you need something?"

After Li Zhengzhi entered the room, Yuehui closed the door and asked.

"It's about your Demon Hunter group." Li Zhengzhi's expression turned serious.

"The Demon Hunter Team?" Moonlight was taken aback, then joked, "Could it be that because I'm too strong, they've put me on the commentary panel?"

"Commentary booth?" Li Zhengzhi was taken aback by this new term, then waved his hand: "No, it means the top three teams can choose one teammate who isn't in the top three. Do you have someone in mind?"

“There is indeed one,” Yuehui nodded.

"Is it that girl from the Sheng family?" Li Zhengzhi suddenly revealed a mischievous smile.

"Is this important?" Moonlight asked vaguely.

Despite having lived on the Holy Demon Continent for fifteen years, he was just a high school student in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty when faced with this kind of "parents questioning his relationship status".

“Of course it’s important.” Li Zhengzhi’s expression turned serious. “Because the lineup of your Demon Hunter team has been initially finalized.”

"what?"

Several large question marks seemed to appear above Yuehui's head.

As is customary, members of the Demon Hunter team should be randomly selected through the Demon Hunter Wheel, so how did it become a pre-selection process in his case?

“There’s nothing we can do,” Li Zhengzhi said helplessly, spreading his hands. “Your talent and strength are too outstanding. Ordinary team members will only hinder your growth. For this reason, the six holy temples held an emergency meeting.”

As he spoke, he patted Yuehui's shoulder heavily. Yuehui was stunned upon hearing this.

The six major temples held an emergency meeting.
Even with a border crisis and the appearance of the Demon God Pillar, it's not guaranteed that all six great temples would gather. And now, they're doing this for him...
(If they knew I was an undercover agent sent by the Moon Demon Clan.)

The thought flashed through his mind, and Yuehui couldn't help but shiver.

"Haha, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Li Zheng laughed heartily. "With your qualifications, you are fully worthy of such attention."

"Grandpa," Yuehui asked tentatively, "could you tell me about my teammates?"

“Hmm.” Li Zhengzhi nodded. “This year, including you, the Holy Alliance has a total of four Chosen Ones. Your core teammates have already been determined, which is why I came to ask you if there are any people you particularly want to choose, so that I can give feedback to the Holy Alliance.”

The images of Long Haochen, Sheng Cai'er, and Chen Ying'er immediately flashed into Yuehui's mind.

But when he thought of Chen Ying'er's Gate of Life, which required a seventh-level cultivator to control stably, his expression suddenly became subtle.

He previously thought that Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er could catch up with him, simply because Chen Ying'er was too unreliable.

"What about the Warrior's Temple and the Priest's Temple?" Moonbeam pressed.

“Neither of the two temples has any chosen ones this year,” Li Zhengzhi explained, “so the specific candidates haven’t been decided yet. If you have someone you like, you can use your privileges to designate them directly.”

Yuehui shook her head: "No need, Cai'er and I have already made an agreement."

A mischievous glint flashed in Li Zhengzhi's eyes: "So it really is that girl from the Sheng family! Tsk tsk, the Saintess of Reincarnation, you have good taste~"

"Grandpa!" Yuehui's ears turned slightly red.

"Haha, just kidding." Li Zhengzhi laughed and patted his shoulder. "Grandpa supports this marriage, so go ahead and pursue it!"

Before leaving, the old man turned back and said, "Since you don't have anyone else in mind, I'll head back now. Prepare well for the upcoming competition."

After Li Zhengzhi left, Yuehui shook his head helplessly.

"Hopefully... the warrior and the priest can find two reliable teammates."

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the first match of the quarterfinals, the showdown between Yuehui and Shengcai'er arrived as scheduled.

When the two stood still in the center of the room, Cai'er was still dressed in black, her face lightly veiled. Her gray eyes, though lifeless, seemed to gaze at the moonlight as if they could penetrate the soul.

The bamboo staff stood quietly in front of me, casting a slender shadow in the morning light.

The moonlight gazed at the girl's figure, and a strange impulse suddenly welled up in his heart—

(Should we just admit defeat?)
The idea surprised even himself. But thinking about the expressions that the six high-ranking officials of the Temples, who were orchestrating the behind-the-scenes operations, might have, he couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

Just as he hesitated, Cai'er suddenly moved.

"Cai'er?"

The girl, holding a green bamboo staff, walked towards him step by step.

The "tap-tap" sound of the club tip lightly touching the ground was particularly clear in the suddenly quiet arena.

The referee froze in mid-air as he was about to raise the protective stone pillar, and the entire audience held their breath in unison.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cai'er stopped in front of the moonlight.

She slowly raised her hand and removed the mysterious black veil—

Her exquisite face was revealed to the public for the first time, like a night-blooming cereus blooming in the morning light.

Even more shockingly, she took Moonbeam's left hand and gently slipped a blue forget-me-not ring with gold patterns onto his ring finger.

"This is."

Before Yuehui could finish speaking, Cai'er had already stood on tiptoe.

Amidst everyone's stunned gazes, a kiss as light as a butterfly's wing landed on the corner of his lips.

------

P.S.: A reader pointed out a very important point that the author had forgotten.

Haoyue and the protagonist are on opposite sides, so how should Haoyue be dealt with?
Cast your vote. Regardless of the outcome before the book is released, the author will arrange a plot.

I've finally finished writing the story about Forget-Me-Not that I wanted to write!
Personally, I feel that compared to rescuing someone once and giving them forget-me-nots, it's more satisfying to spend some time together and then declare your ownership in front of everyone!
