Just by listening to the voice, one could tell how joyous and happy he was at this exact moment.
“Will your people agree to you resigning from all your duties?” Gu Yuena asked, slightly astonished.
Tang Wulin smiled and said, “There’s no reason why they wouldn’t agree. I’ve already done everything within my abilities. Moreover, no one is going to object to us getting married now. However, we are still representing the powerful organizations on the continent individually after all. It’s not good to leave the Federation feeling like a major force is joining hands with another. Moreover, our Shrek and Spirit Pagoda repulse one another instinctively. We can’t be the cause of these issues due to our identities. Thus, I made this decision after discussing with Elder Long so as not to cause trouble for Sister Mo Lan. I’m going to take it upon myself to resign from my duties now. It’s great for me too. I’ve already informed my companions. After that, we will organize a group wedding, and then, we will travel. I will take you wherever you want to go. I will do whatever you want to do. I’m willing to do anything as long as you’re with me.”
Gu Yuena’s eyes were brimming with tears upon listening to this voice filled with excitement coming from the other end of the call. She was refraining herself with great effort so as not to bawl aloud.
“Why aren’t you speaking? Are you touched? How about this, I shall come and see you now. I don’t feel at ease when I don’t see you for a day.”
“Don’t. You still have many other matters to attend to. We still have time to meet later on.” Gu Yuena struggled to control her voice.
“Alright then. I shall go and do some stuff. Also, I’ve never thought much about money in the past. I’ve only just discovered that I’m quite poor. I was just about to request for the Tang Sect to pay my salary as the sect master. Otherwise, I don’t even have the money to marry you. Hah-hah, don’t you think that’s very foolish of me?”
“You idiot.” Gu Yuena sniggered and tears rolled down her face.
…
Tang Wulin took a deep breath as he sensed the rich life source around him. At this exact moment, the world was filled with a myriad of colors and beauty could be seen in every part.
The top of the Eternal Tree’s gigantic crown was extremely flat. The massive, thick branches entangled one another naturally and formed a wooden foundation as if A Yin had built it by hand.
Shrek Academy would not be making many changes to the Eternal Tree, of course. They would only add some things to it.
The idea to construct the Eternal Sky Heaven had been proposed by Tang Wulin. The attack that destroyed Shrek Academy had always been the greatest agony in his heart. Shrek City was reconstructed, but the Sea God’s Island could not be built because the Sea God Lake was filled with destruction aura.
The Eternal Tree became the best medium for the construction of Sea God’s Island.
The crown of the Eternal Tree was where the life source was the richest, so much so that the air was almost sticky. On the other hand, such a massive amount of life force made it impossible for a person to ascend the Eternal Tree without adequate capabilities. A body would not be able to withstand being infused with so much life force at once. It was the same as when Tang San worried that the Golden Dragon King Bloodline would explode in Tang Wulin due to the immortal energy’s effect.
Only powerhouses at Title Douluo rank and above could survive there.
Thus, after Shrek Academy’s inner court was built on the Eternal Sky City, it could only accept students that were Title Douluo-ranked and above. Shrek Academy had yet to announce this to the public.
Meanwhile, the people working and building the Eternal Sky City on the crown were naturally Shrek Academy’s Title Douluo-ranked powerhouses. Tang Wulin made an example of himself and became the leader of the operation. The Shrek Seven Monsters were here as well.
They were all capable of flight, so it would not be considered too troublesome for them to transport some materials from Shrek City.
“Big brother.” In a flash, a silhouette arrived next to Tang Wulin. It was a very excited Xie Xie. “Big brother, you’re smiling so wide that the corners of your mouth are touching your ears. You must have just got off the call with Gu Yue, right?”
Tang Wulin spoke in an unpleasant tone, “Do you have so much time to idle? If you’re free, why don’t you go ahead and do some work?”
Xie Xie sniggered. “Big brother, when do you think I should propose to Yuanen, huh?! My concern now is not being able to get her father’s blessing! He’s always in a bad mood when he sees me.”
Tang Wulin said, “Do you have to consult me even on this matter? You’re so shameless. Even if you fail once, you can just give it a few more tries. Could it be that Yuanen will still leave you?”
Xie Xie said with a bitter expression, “Yuanen said that she is only willing to marry me if I can defeat her! Yet, she is progressing so fast after absorbing life force recently that she will soon break through to Limit Douluo. How can I defeat her?!”
Tang Wulin burst out laughing. He patted Xie Xie’s shoulder and said, “Brother, you’re on your own now.”
“Hey, Big brother, that’s not very righteous of you! You have everything you wished for now. Help a brother out and give me some ideas!” Xie Xie had a look of beseechment on his face.
“I shall bestow you with four words. ‘Persistence, patience, aggressiveness, relentlessness!’ Anyhow, I told Gu Yuena that we would have a group wedding together later on. Then, we should travel together. This is considered a proper justification, right? Look at Zheng Yu. His proposal a few days ago was a success. Lizhi looks so shy these days. I think it’s about time for him too. You’re the only troublesome one.”
Xie Xie said with a helpless expression, “Big brother, I didn’t ask for that either! Alright, alright then. Let me give it a try. Anyhow, Yuanen can’t bear to beat me up anymore. Big brother, what do you think if I make my way into the bathroom when she is taking a shower and do what can’t be undone?”
At this point, Xie Xie could not help swallowing a gulp of saliva.
Tang Wulin smiled splendidly. He raised his hand and pointed at the back of Xie Xie.
Xie Xie’s body stiffened at once and did not even bother to turn around. He immediately said righteously, “That is impossible, of course. I respect Yuanen so much! She is the goddess in my heart. If she asked me to head east, I won’t have the courage to head west for sure. Ouch… Please be gentle, please be gentle…”
Yuanen twisted Xie Xie’s ear. Her charming face cracked into a cold smile. “Are you trying to peep at me while I shower? I think that you need to clear your mind first.”
“Please spare my life, wifey. Please spare me…”
Tang Wulin could not help chuckling upon seeing Xie Xie being tugged away by Yuanen Yehui. This boy would not be able to leave Yuanen’s grasp anymore in his life.
Tang Wulin leaped into the sky and transformed into a golden ray of light before descending and landing in Shrek City. He returned to his office straight away.
He dialed a soul communicator number. “Is my attire prepared?”
“It’s done. I can send it over to you tonight. When do you plan to wear it?”
Tang Wulin smiled. “Tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day.”
Tomorrow was going to be a great day.
At this point, he turned around and looked toward the gigantic ice sculpture placed at one side of his office. There was a look of sorrow in his eyes.
With his white robes and blue sword, Wu Zhangkong was standing quietly in the ice sculpture. He looked just like the day he had frozen in the ice. In that rigid ice that would not melt in eternity, Tang Wulin could even feel his persistence and relief before he died.
“Teacher Wu, please give us your blessing. I’m finally about to get what I wished for. I bet you have a joyful and happy life with grandteacher in the other world too, right?”
…
The weather was good in the morning. The sky was a cloudless blue for miles, already a clear dark blue despite the early hour.
The refreshing air mixed with the moisture diffused from the Sea God’s Lake. It filled the lands with vigor and vitality.
Tang Wulin stood on the academy’s field and looked at the main academic building before him.
