The next day, from early morning till mid-morning.
With the crowing of a silver-tailed rooster, Shrek City welcomed the first light of dawn.
The sunlight was perfect—neither cold nor hot—and its warm rays draped over the weathered yet still towering city, giving it a subtle, almost dreamlike glow.
All the citizens had already risen early, gathering around Shrek Academy, their voices buzzing with excitement.
The city's people had grown clever; some had even purchased or hastily crafted cloud ladders that reached hundreds of meters high.
This height allowed them to see into Shrek Academy. Though the distance made details hard to discern, the event of Su Qingfeng's matchmaking still drew the interest of numerous soul masters and commoners alike. A single cloud ladder seat sold for five hundred gold soul coins.
No wonder the academy's senior staff and merchants from the empires commented after witnessing Su Qingfeng's shining moment last night:
"If Su Qingfeng ever ventures into business, he alone is the greatest commercial asset!"
At that moment, from within Shrek Academy, over ten academy staff pushed out several large cubical objects, all covered with black cloth, and placed them along the city's main roads and gates.
As the academy soul masters suddenly lifted the covers, massive ten-meter-wide screens were revealed, announcing to all:
"The Sea God Matchmaking Ceremony begins today! The prodigies and beauties from all the great empires and sects will participate. Of course, our Starry Sky Holy Son will have his own exclusive activities."
"Shrek Academy, to satisfy everyone's curiosity, has specially set up these live broadcast screens in the city. Please watch in an orderly manner; do not cause trouble or push and shove. Any violations will result in immediate expulsion from the city, and serious offenders will be dealt with according to Shrek Academy's regulations, regardless of identity or empire affiliation!"
This announcement caused a surge of excitement, especially among those who couldn't enter the academy to witness the event firsthand. Now, they too had the chance to see this rare spectacle!
As the screens lit up, the clear views of Sea God Lake appeared. With drone-like flying devices moving about, the footage offered multiple angles. Those who had spent heavily on cloud ladder seats were frustrated:
"Why didn't they say earlier?! Five hundred gold soul coins is our family's savings for five years, and we still can't see clearly!"
…
Outside the academy, along the path to Sea God Lake, boys and girls streamed in, having gotten up early to groom and dress themselves. The early morning light shining upon them made them look like fresh flowers after the rain—radiant, lively, and beautiful.
Representatives from all the great empires and sects also arrived at the lake shore, where many tables, chairs, food, and drinks had been prepared for them.
The previous night's grand event had already revealed that Su Qingfeng would appear at the matchmaking ceremony, possibly even participate.
Thus, all the goddesses put their best efforts into presenting themselves, showcasing their most beautiful sides.
Even Ling Luocheng and Ma Xiaotao, who had previously been with Su Qingfeng, displayed new transformations.
Ma Xiaotao loosened her twin buns, embracing a mature, elegant style. She wore a white top and jeans, exuding intellect and allure.
Ling Luocheng shed her icy white hair, adding blue-purple highlights, and wore a white dress that hugged her curvaceous figure:
It seemed that after their previous intimate encounter with Su Qingfeng, both Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luocheng carried an irresistible aura that left men captivated.
If even they had transformed, the other girls would naturally do the same.
Xiao Xiao wore a Jiangnan-style qipao embroidered with nine phoenixes on the back, paired with a golden star dragon, presenting a noble yet elegant appearance.
Juzi wore orange-tinted glasses, a red tight top accentuating her chest and waist, and a black skirt highlighting her hips, exuding the aura of a beautiful professional woman. She held roses in her hands:
If I get a chance to talk to Lord Qingfeng today, I must apologize, thank him, and confess my feelings!
After all, we once had a fateful encounter in Mingdu. He won't have forgotten me, right?
Jiang Nannan stood at a corner of the lake, dressed elegantly in a gown, radiating beauty, warmth, and calm.
For her, the matchmaking ceremony was of little importance.
She and Su Qingfeng already shared countless bonds. She never expected to always be by his side, nor dared to claim him for herself.
Even if Su Qingfeng glanced at her just a little, she would be satisfied.
Of course, the passionate night in the Mingdu Mountains years ago still lingered in her memories. She hoped to once again express her beauty before Su Qingfeng on this celebratory day.
Meng Hongchen, Vina, Mu Xue, and Han Ruoruo were equally determined, each wearing outfits that showcased their best, most alluring sides.
The sisters Ye Guyi and Nan Qiuqiu walked with a subtle rivalry, forming a striking visual contrast.
Ye Guyi wore a Holy Knight outfit, radiating sacred authority and justice, resembling a figure from ten thousand years ago:
I, Ye Guyi, will represent the angels to confess to the starry sky today!
Nan Qiuqiu had her own little schemes in mind. Though she might not outshine others, the righteous, angelic Ye Guyi could still be swayed? Hmph! She had witnessed her parents' dealings as a child, so she knew how to compete.
Even women from older generations, like Ye Xishui and Feng Ling, displayed unique, vibrant styles:
See? Who says at a hundred or two hundred years old we can't matchmake or pursue love? We've had relationships before—why not attend the matchmaking ceremony?
Perhaps Xiao Qingfeng will reminisce about the pleasure we once gave him…
Tang Wutong, with blue hair and a pink gown, golden-trimmed white socks wrapping her calves, and surrounded by fluttering pink butterflies, expressed her love openly:
Today, she would boldly confess her feelings to Brother Qingfeng!
Daddy and Second Dad will back me up!Brother Qingfeng will surely be my perfect husband!
The camera swept across the lake shore, presenting a scene that delighted viewers watching from the city screens. Many even set up tents.
So beautiful! Countless girls, all stunning. Who would Su Qingfeng choose in this matchmaking ceremony?
Among the crowd, the disguised human girl Gu Yue Na crossed her arms and snorted:
"You human girls think dressing nicely can compete with me for Su Su? Not one of you is prettier than me! And I can adjust in ways that only Su Su understands—only with me is it perfect! He won't care about you!"
"If he dares to choose you, then I'll snatch him away. That's power! Awooo!"
Gu Yue Na's mind went wild with fantasies.
Meanwhile, in Shrek Academy's plaza, an uncle instructed a veiled cleaning lady:
"New here, clean up the fireworks and trash in the square. Don't slack off!"
After giving instructions, he jogged to the lakeside to watch the matchmaking ceremony.
The new cleaning lady's eyes sparkled. With no one around, she lightly tapped the ground, stirring up a small whirlwind that swept the plaza clean in an instant.
Xiao Wu looked around Shrek Academy and quietly walked toward Sea God Lake, thinking:
I didn't expect that after ten thousand years, Shrek Academy has developed so much. Back then, the academy was poor and empty…
Matchmaking ceremony, hmph, I wonder if there will be bridal nights afterward. I won't hold back!
