63: Chapter 63 Marrying Mu Qingci

Once the Domain was activated, the six members of their team began a bombardment of attacks.

Ma Rulong took the lead, initiating his spirit tool battery style of combat. Together with Xiao Hongchen, they unleashed hundreds of spirit tool cannons, firing them toward the opposing side.

Projectiles rained down like raindrops, and the sounds of explosions were incessant.

The seven Spirit Ancestors on the opposing side could only huddle together for support, defending arduously as their Soul Power was rapidly consumed.

Mu Qingci made his move at this moment.

Like a phantom in the dark night, he flashed and maneuvered to the other side, wielding the Hades Sword in his hand, slashing out wave after wave of sword energy.

Fortunately, the referee possessed the strength of a Spirit Douluo; otherwise, it would have been uncertain whether they could have saved those people.

Just like that, excluding the one-minute preparation time for activating their Spirits, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team took a total of thirty-six seconds to secure victory in the match.

In the Star Luo Hotel.

"Awesome, Captain!"

A main team member raised their glass and said to Mu Qingci.

"What was that Domain of yours? It was so powerful! I felt my strength instantly increase by twenty or thirty percent. That feeling was just amazing!"

To celebrate their victory in the first match, the group came to the Star Luo Hotel to celebrate.

Mu Qingci smiled and shook his head: "It's not really much of a Domain, just a slight technique in elemental application."

As one of the top hotels in the Star Luo Empire, the dishes inside could be described as delicacies from land and sea without any exaggeration.

"Qingci, I heard there's a lantern festival in the city tonight. Let's go check it out later."

Meng Hongchen was already slightly tipsy at this moment; a faint blush hung on her beautiful face, and her eyes were somewhat hazy.

Mu Qingci nodded: "That sounds good. It's been a long time since I participated in an event like this."

To maintain his sword heart, Mu Qingci only drank fruit juice and did not consume alcohol.

After the meal, the team members dispersed to various parts of Star Luo City to find their own fun; proper relaxation would help them welcome a better state.

Mu Qingci held Meng Hongchen's hand and walked toward the direction of the city's lantern festival.

Behind them, Ye Guyi followed from a distance.

The scale of the lantern festival was grand, and many people had come; basically, everyone came in pairs.

Mu Qingci went to buy two lotus lanterns, one for himself and one for Meng Hongchen.

"Qingci, let's write down our respective wishes together, and then release the lotus lanterns."

Mu Qingci nodded, took out paper and pen, and began writing with Meng Hongchen.

What Mu Qingci wrote was: To reach the pinnacle of the World as soon as possible and pursue the supreme realm beyond that of a Spirit Master.

As for Meng Hongchen, she thought over and over again, blushing time and again, and finally lifted her pen to write:

"Marry Mu Qingci."

After writing, Meng Hongchen hurriedly folded the note and placed it into the lotus lantern.

"Sister Meng, what did you write? Let me see."

"No!"

Before Mu Qingci could even lean his head over, Meng Hongchen hurriedly shoved the note into the lotus lantern, clutching it tightly to her chest.

Mu Qingci did not persist; together with Meng Hongchen, they placed the lotus lanterns on the water surface, and they drifted away along the river!

"Qingci, do you think what we wrote in the lanterns will come true?"

Mu Qingci nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Meng, it definitely will!"

Meng Hongchen lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed; in her mind was the image of Mu Qingci proposing to her.

How she wished they could grow up quickly, so that day would arrive sooner.

After releasing the lotus lanterns, there were many other small games at the lantern festival.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's Star Luo City lantern festival!"

Official events like this basically always come equipped with a host.

"I believe all the couples present have just released their lotus lanterns. Next, we will conduct an interesting segment: selecting the couple that looks the most compatible on-site. Those selected will receive a small gift specially prepared by the lantern festival organizers!"

The host's voice rang out in every corner of the lantern festival.

The couples were all looking forward to it, hoping to be selected, hoping that they and their partner were the most compatible pair.

Meng Hongchen nervously clenched the corner of her clothes. She knew she and Mu Qingci were not yet a couple, but in her heart, she still longed to be selected.

Mu Qingci seemed indifferent, instead feeling curious about which couple would be selected.

Time passed second by second, and everyone was both nervous and expectant.

Finally, the lights at the venue converged toward the stage where the host was located.

"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to keep you waiting. After a comprehensive evaluation from multiple angles, the most compatible couple has been determined. Now, let us shine the spotlight there!"

As the host's voice fell, the spotlight that had originally been covering him changed direction, shining toward a certain spot.

The couples offstage were all waiting, hoping they would be selected by the light.

Mu Qingci also held a spectator's mindset, wanting to see which couple was so lucky.

A few seconds later, the spotlight stopped moving.

The eyes of the crowd all turned toward the young man and young woman in the corner.

The young man had short grey hair, paired with a pair of brilliant golden eyes, fair skin, and a slender build, giving many girls present a feeling of heart-fluttering excitement.

The young woman had long snow-white hair, paired with eyes of red and blue, and equally snow-white, jade-like skin—truly a pair of golden boy and jade girl.

"Alright, the result is in. Let us invite this most compatible couple to the stage to receive their prize!"

Mu Qingci: "?"

He was a bit stunned at this moment, never having expected that he and Meng Hongchen would actually be selected.

Looking at the shy, head-lowered Meng Hongchen beside him, Mu Qingci naturally wouldn't say they weren't a couple in front of the crowd at this moment; instead, he smiled, took Meng Hongchen's hand, and walked onto the stage.

In a corner offstage, Ye Guyi was watching the two walking onto the stage, a trace of loss flashing in the depths of her eyes, before she finally turned and left.

"Congratulations!"

The host smiled and handed over two boxes.

Mu Qingci and Meng Hongchen took the boxes together.

After opening them, they found two necklaces.

The shapes of the necklaces were the left and right halves of a heart, which, when put together, formed a complete heart.

"These are the love necklaces prepared by the organizers for you. However, it seems the two of you already have something better."

The host's gaze swept over their chests. Hanging on Mu Qingci's chest was the level 9 defensive spirit tool given by Kong Deming, the Silver Moon Protection.

And on Meng Hongchen's chest was the level 8 defensive spirit tool gifted to her by Mu Qingci, the Suns Protection.

A small sun, a small moon—a perfect couple's set.

People who can serve as hosts for such events are all individuals with high emotional intelligence and the ability to adapt.

He immediately picked up the two necklaces, creating a Binding of two loops, and turned them into two bracelets.

"No matter, since you two already have necklaces, let's turn these two love necklaces into two bracelets, serving as a testament to your relationship!"
