Time passed minute by minute. Under the deliberate acceleration of the hosts, Bei Bei and Xixi, the combined segment of "Love at First Sight" and "Infatuation at Second Sight" quickly came to an end.
It was now three o'clock in the morning. Although it was the middle of the night, everyone present was still in high spirits. No matter how many people were impersonating Huo Yuhao, their outstanding talents had still left a deep impression on the fairies.
Xixi's slightly stiff body stretched a little, revealing curves that would make any mother-in-law worry. She smiled and said, "Next, we will begin the fourth segment. After Cherishing Each Other, Love at First Sight, and Infatuation at Second Sight, it is time for Fated for Three Lifetimes. Therefore, our fourth segment is called, Fated for Three Lives."
At this time, there were still nearly three thousand boys left on the river surface. If it were a one-on-one pairing, then at least more than half of the male compatriots would have to leave in dejection.
"In this segment, it will be the fairies' turn to come on stage one by one, introduce themselves, choose the boy they admire, and go to his side. The boys should stand a little further apart, as it is not impossible that someone with great charm might attract more than one female fairy. At the end of this segment, if a boy has not been favored by any fairy, then I'm sorry, you will have to leave our blind date event. The remaining people will continue to the final segment."
Undoubtedly, in this fourth segment, more boys would be eliminated. Among the nearly a thousand fairies, those who could be considered both talented and beautiful were, after all, a minority. The remaining people, if they were determined to find a partner at the convention, still had a rich selection of options.
This Sea God's Fate Blind Date Convention, at least in the first four segments, had the girls occupying the priority. This was also in line with the common sense of "ladies first."
"Let's begin. I would like to ask the several hundred girls who are still wearing conical hats to pay attention. Later, when you are introducing yourselves, you can choose to take off your conical hats and reveal your true faces. If in this segment, you do not show your faces or give some hints, then in the final segment, unless a boy has definitively chosen you, you will not be able to take off your conical hats until the end of the event. Now, I would like to ask the number one girl to introduce herself and make her choice."
It was meaningless. The order of the girls' ranking was secretly manipulated by the organizers. The earlier one appeared, the easier it was to leave a deep impression on the boys.
Therefore, the first hundred or so fairies were all female students from Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
The number one female student tapped the water lily leaf with the tip of her toe. Because of the solid ice below, her force was very sufficient. Her body seemed to be weightless as she floated out. Just as she was about to land on the water surface, her figure spun beautifully for a week. A layer of white soul power transformed into a surging wave of air, pressing down on the water surface and steadily holding her in the air.
Two yellow, two purple, three black—seven soul rings slowly pulsated.
This female student also looked to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her appearance was not extremely beautiful, but her facial lines were very soft, easily giving people a feeling of intimacy. Without using any soul skills, she purely relied on her soul power control to suspend herself above the water surface. It seemed simple, but was in fact extremely difficult to control. It immediately won a wave of praise from the male students.
The group of boys was also in the ranks of those who were praising. At least with the current cultivation of most of them, it would be impossible to achieve this no matter how strong their control was.
"My name is Hua Yao. My martial soul is the Lotus Flower. A control-type battle Soul Sage. I am thirty-one years old this year. I just want to find a gentle man as a companion. Simplicity is the truth, and that is also the life I pursue."
A simple introduction, but it easily left a very good impression. Don't look at her being thirty-one years old already. Among high-level soul masters, age difference was not a problem.
Xixi asked with a smile, "Then your choice is?"
Hua Yao's pretty face turned slightly red. Her figure floated forward and she was already flying towards the front.
This fourth segment, Fated for Three Lives, was not as simple as Xixi had said before. In this round, all the female students had to face a problem—when they came before the boys, how to keep their bodies from falling into the water. One had to know that the water surface was completely unsupportive. How to hold on until the final segment would be hard to say. Therefore, in this segment, whether the boy the female student chose could show his gentlemanly demeanor and give up his own water lily leaf also represented their choice in the final segment.
Soon, Hua Yao arrived in front of the group of boys. Her pair of beautiful eyes flashed over everyone, and finally landed on a prodigy from an outside sect who looked to be about thirty years old.
This boy had a slender figure. Although his appearance was a bit ordinary, his temperament was very steady. In every segment before, his performance had been very graceful, but he hadn't shown anything special. Even the others only remembered that his name was Tuohai and that he had a seven-ring cultivation.
With a flash of her figure, Hua Yao had already arrived in front of this boy named Tuohai and gave him a slight curtsy. Immediately, the other boys couldn't help but cheer in an uproar. This was hitting the jackpot!
The boy from the other sect, Tuohai, also had a look of surprise in his eyes, but a happy smile soon appeared on his face. But he didn't say anything. He just tapped the water lily leaf with the tip of his toe, and he had already floated back three meters, making a very gentlemanly gesture of invitation.
Hua Yao was not polite either. She floated directly onto it, her pretty face slightly red, and she nodded gently. The communication between the two was completed in this silent and subtle way. Tuohai had originally been suspended in mid-air, his movements similar to Hua Yao's before. But at this moment, a pair of pure white wings quietly appeared behind him. The wings spread open, supporting his body.
"Holy Dragon Wings! His martial soul is actually the direct-lineage martial soul of the Holy Dragon Sect under the Spirit Empire from ten thousand years ago!" Many who recognized the martial soul cried out in surprise.
This was precisely the original intention of Shrek Academy's holding this session of the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Convention: to attract outstanding direct-lineage members from the major sects of the continent through blind dates, thereby roping in these powers to be the loyal backers of the academy and the Sun Moon Empire.
The sect that Tuohai belonged to might have guessed Shrek Academy's overt scheme, but guessing was one thing. This did not prevent Tuohai himself from being captivated by the beauties of Shrek Academy.
Although the inner court students of Shrek did not interact with each other very much, it was natural for them to know each other. Often, everyone was too embarrassed to express their feelings, which had delayed many female students with excellent qualifications. And this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Convention was the best stage.
Seeing this, Xixi smiled and said, "Tuohai, congratulations! Hua Yao is one of the top outstanding girls of our Shrek Academy."
Tuohai was clearly a man of few words. He bowed slightly in Xixi's direction, but the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
Bei Bei then said, "Then, our next girl should come on stage."
Next, several more girls came on stage one after another and chose the boys they admired. Not a single girl chose to give up.
It was finally Tang Wutong's turn.
Tang Wutong looked up at Xu Sanshi opposite her, the blush on her face still not faded.
Not far away, Bei Bei smiled and said, "Little Junior Sister, listen to Eldest Senior Brother. You must not miss the best opportunity because of a moment of shyness. By accepting a man when he loves you the most, you can completely capture his heart. He will love you, and even dote on you for a lifetime because he is grateful that you accepted him."
Xixi also smiled, "Bei Bei, it seems you know a lot?"
Bei Bei said with a slight pride, "Back then, Xiao Ya and I were not..."
As he spoke, he himself couldn't help but show a dejected and sad expression.
Hearing his words, one of the fairies among the group, who had been wearing a conical hat from beginning to end, trembled slightly all over, her fists clenched so tightly they were white.
