"Xiao Wu, how are you? Are you alright?"
Ning Rongrong helped Xiao Wu up, her face full of worry, and asked her again.
Xiao Wu heard this and finally came back to her senses, gathering her scattered thoughts.
She shook her head very decisively.
She spoke a little haltingly, explaining,
"No... nothing."
However, her explanation obviously didn't convince Ning Rongrong.
Xiao Wu's explanation at this moment was too weak.
So Ning Rongrong didn't believe a word of it.
Hearing her say that,
her brows remained tightly furrowed.
She asked again with concern,
"Really nothing?"
"Why does your face look so pale?"
"I..."
Seeing her expression full of concern,
Xiao Wu was speechless for a moment.
She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to begin.
She was at a loss.
And while she was at a loss,
the onlookers were completely abuzz.
They chattered away, starting a frenzied discussion.
Most people were surprised that Yu Chen would marry another Spirit Beast in the future.
However, a few others thought of something else.
After their expressions changed, they boldly stated their thoughts.
"Wait, I remember that the one who ascended to the God Realm with Tang San in the future was a 100,000-year Soft Bones Rabbit, right?"
"These two guys... won't they marry the same person in the future?"
"!???"
His remark was too bold.
So much so that as soon as he spoke, he startled the surrounding people.
After a moment, they came back to their senses.
The surrounding people spoke up, complaining to him with strange expressions.
"No, are you stupid or am I stupid? How could it be the same person? You didn't notice how many years apart Yu Chen and Tang San are, did you? At this stage of the heavenly curtain, Tang San hasn't even been born yet, so how could they marry the same person? It's not like an old man is going to eat tender grass thirty years later, is it? If he really did that, it would be too tasteless."
However, his reasoning did not convince his friend.
Before his friend could even speak,
someone beside him interjected again, complaining impatiently.
"What's tasteless about it? Really... you all know what realm and status he'll have in the future. As a young monarch who unified the entire Douluo Continent, marrying a young and beautiful wife is no big deal. Really, you're just a turn-off, meddling too much."
A little fairy heard this and complained impatiently.
As soon as she spoke, she received unanimous approval from her sisters beside her.
"Exactly, exactly! Even Titled Douluo don't meddle as much as them!"
And seeing the indignant look of the women,
the onlooker who had just spoken, needless to say, immediately fell into a daze.
After exchanging glances with his friend,
he felt even more like he was questioning his life.
After a long while, he finally spoke, muttering to himself,
"!???"
"No, are these women crazy?"
"We said Yu Chen would be an old man eating tender grass in the future, isn't that helping them? Why are they not grateful to us, but instead speaking ill of us?"
"Before, let alone an old man eating tender grass, I remember they would even oppose having three wives and four concubines."
As they quietly moved away, they said this, feeling somewhat doubtful about life.
Compared to their current confusion and bewilderment,
someone nearby spoke up again, replying with a matter-of-fact tone, "It's simple. Because Yu Chen is their true object of fantasy. Especially those with good looks, who wouldn't want to have a spring night with Yu Chen from a parallel World?"
"Ah?"
"It can be like that?"
Both of them were stunned when they heard this.
That person, however, was not surprised and added in a matter-of-fact tone,
"Why not? Don't forget, if Yu Chen's cultivation in the future is likely to be at the God King realm, once he reaches that level, he can ascend to the God Realm. Eternal youth and such are naturally a piece of cake."
The person next to him was greatly shocked and felt somewhat unable to accept it, speaking haltingly and reminding him again, "That's true, but thinking about someone thirty or forty years older than you, you'd still have some hangups and reservations, right?"
But hearing him say that, the person beside him didn't care, and after a light laugh, reminded him,
"What hangups? Put yourself in his shoes. Imagine Yu Chen, who unified the World, is an Empress. She has eternal youth and is thirty or forty years older than you, and wants to have a spring night with you. Just tell me, what do you think now? Just tell me if you agree or not?"
After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the two confused people beside him with a strange look.
The two finally understood after hearing this.
They instinctively spoke, replying without even thinking,
"Agree?"
"I'd directly offer myself, okay?"
"A woman three years older brings a golden brick; this is directly giving you the World."
"It's good that you know that."
The speaker showed a teachable expression, and they, for once, were on the same page.
Inside Shrek Academy.
Xiao Wu also finally understood the whole story.
She thought of another possibility besides herself marrying Yu Chen.
After all, besides Xiao Wu, there really was another 100,000-year Soft Bones Rabbit in this World!
And that 100,000-year Soft Bones Rabbit was none other than her mother!
'So... in the parallel World, Yu Chen actually married my mother?'
'So... after all that, Yu Chen actually became my father in the parallel World???
Xiao Wu's pupils widened.
She never expected this matter to go in this direction.
However, after calming down and thinking about it again, she felt that this matter wasn't entirely bad.
After all,
if nothing else,
if Yu Chen married her mother, one thing was certain.
That is, her mother's life should no longer be in danger in the future.
Thinking of this,
Xiao Wu's originally tense expression eased slightly.
While her expression eased, the surrounding people were still discussing it endlessly.
Hearing everyone arguing so much,
Zhu Zhuqing also grew impatient and finally spoke to stop them.
"Alright, what's there to argue about? Really..."
"Whether they're the same person or not, I'll just have the heavenly curtain display the appearances of both of them, won't that solve it?"
Her casual words this time, however, truly startled Xiao Wu, who had just managed to calm her mind, and she instinctively refused, saying,
"What?!"
"Display their appearances?!"
"No, absolutely not!"
Zhu Zhuqing was also surprised to see her like this.
"Ah? Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Why are you so agitated?"
Ning Rongrong thought of the doubts that had been lingering in her mind earlier, and her expression became even more suspicious.
"Do you know something, some inside story?"
Being stared at by them with such gazes, one after another.
Xiao Wu also realized her gaffe.
After regaining her senses, she let out a dry laugh and forced an explanation.
"Inside story?"
"Heh heh, you're really overthinking this. What inside story could I possibly know?"
But her words sounded a bit like a self-incriminating denial.
Hearing her say this, Ning Rongrong not only didn't give up, but her face showed even more confusion.
"Is that so?"
"Your expression doesn't look like you're completely clueless."
"And if you really don't know anything, why did you stop Zhu Zhuqing as soon as she started, saying something about 'absolutely not'?"
Xiao Wu knew she had given herself away, but at this critical juncture, she could only bite the bullet and force an explanation for herself.
"You mean that?"
"Cough, cough, I mainly thought that it was not easy for Zhu Zhuqing to get the chance to ask a question as a lucky audience member, so I wanted her to use it well and not waste her questions on meaningless gossip."
Ning Rongrong, "Is it really that simple?"
"Of course. Otherwise, what other purpose could I have? Who Yu Chen marries in the future won't affect me in any way, right?"
"Zhuqing, don't you agree with what I'm saying?"
Xiao Wu spoke with conviction.
Her tone seemed utterly self-evident.
In reality, she was incredibly guilty inside.
After saying this, she turned to Zhuqing and asked again.
Fortunately, Zhuqing was not as suspicious as Ning Rongrong.
Hearing her words,
She nodded and very simply confirmed her thoughts.
It was just a pity that before she could be happy for long,
Zhuqing immediately changed the subject.
"What you're saying actually makes sense."
"But your advice to me now isn't very useful, and it's too late."
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Wu's expression changed when she heard this, instinctively sensing that something was amiss.
"I've already asked, look at the heavenly curtain…"
Zhuqing said, pointing to the sky, her words carrying a hint of matter-of-factness.
Xiao Wu looked up, and sure enough, she saw that the heavenly curtain showed that the second question had already ended.
And the content of the question had not changed at all; it was still asking what Yu Chen and Tang San's wives looked like.
"You…"
Seeing this scene, Xiao Wu was so angry her nose almost twisted.
She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to respond.
After a long while, when she finally spoke again, it could only be a long sigh filled with helplessness.
Hearing her sigh, Xiao Wu felt even more uneasy.
However, at this moment, before she could even open her mouth to ask anything else,
Looking up, her attention was also drawn to the heavenly curtain above her head.
Her mouth hung open.
Her expression was instantly replaced by shock.
Her final expression was not due to anything else.
It was because at this moment, beneath the sky above their heads,
The appearance of Yu Chen's future wife clearly appeared before everyone's eyes.
And this person, whether in appearance or temperament,
Could be said to be extremely similar to Xiao Wu, who was standing beside them at this moment.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were cast from the same mold.
Seeing this scene,
Xiao Wu's heart sank.
However, because she had already anticipated it and prepared herself mentally, she wasn't overly surprised or disappointed.
While she could remain calm, it didn't mean others were the same.
Upon seeing this scene, the Shrek Seven Devils all exclaimed in surprise.
"! ! ?"
"No, what exactly is going on here?"
"Why does Yu Chen's future wife look so similar to Xiao Wu?"
"Could it be that what those guys speculated before is true? Xiao Wu, in a parallel World, you really married Yu Chen!?"
While most people were merely surprised,
When Tang San spoke again, his eyes even turned bloodshot.
"Xiao Wu, how could you do this?"
"I really didn't expect you to do such a thing."
Feeling that he had been cuckolded, Tang San was now completely blinded by rage.
His words were filled with exasperation.
"What have I done?"
"Tang San, you're really inexplicable. Not to mention whether Yu Chen's partner in this parallel World is actually me, which still can't be confirmed. Even if it really is me, do you have the right to accuse me of making a mistake here? Who gave you the courage to say such things here? Am I bound to you, Tang San, to be your person in life and your ghost in death?!"
"Yu Xiaogang still knows that matters of a parallel World cannot be confused with reality. What, in the end, are you even worse than Yu Xiaogang?"
Xiao Wu sneered. Although she had long seen through Tang San's true colors, his behavior this time still made her feel incredibly disheartened and disappointed.
Hearing her say this, Tang San's face naturally turned ashen, but at this moment, the one with the worst expression was not him, but Yu Xiaogang.
??!
Here we go again.
Getting dragged into this for no reason, right?
What do you mean, "even worse than Yu Xiaogang"?
So now I'm the lowest standard in your hearts??
Yu Xiaogang was truly cursing inwardly.
But at this moment, whatever he was thinking,
Outsiders clearly didn't care at all.
Everyone's focus was on the argument between Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Especially Ning Rongrong; although she had just felt that Xiao Wu was a bit off, seeing Xiao Wu being criticized by Tang San now,
She still stood up immediately to defend her good sister.
She retorted to Tang San.
"Xiao Wu is absolutely right, Tang San, you're just too conceited. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you'? Have you forgotten that the heavenly curtain showed that you will also marry a 100,000-year Spirit Beast as your wife, and not Xiao Wu? If that's the case, what right do you have to demand Xiao Wu's undivided loyalty to you?"
"I…"
Hearing Ning Rongrong say this, Tang San was naturally choked.
He wanted to argue, but halfway through his words, he suddenly realized something else.
He immediately clapped his hand and spoke again, with a hint of excitement.
"Wait a minute…"
"A 100,000-year Spirit Beast, that's right! The result shown on the heavenly curtain already said that Yu Chen here marries a 100,000-year Spirit Beast!"
"How could Xiao Wu be a Spirit Beast?"
"This is all a misunderstanding."
Hearing him say this, Ning Rongrong and the others' expressions also changed, realizing they had fallen into a misconception just now.
Only Xiao Wu's expression remained grim.
Sure enough, this time, before they could say anything more to Xiao Wu,
On the heavenly curtain, light flowed.
The future wife Tang San was to marry had also appeared on the heavenly curtain.
And upon seeing that person's figure, everyone present was stunned.
