"God, if I could go back, I'd rather endure the humiliation of the Tauren than face such a cruel scene!"
Who would have guessed Gu Yuena rubbed his head and said, "Of course, this is the wedding gown for marriage!"
"Although it's only a pledge of your right to belong, you don't understand many human rules, but you always need a sense of ritual."
"My incompetent subordinates secretly searched the inventories of both empires, but none found a wedding dress that fits you."
"So I ordered them to capture the royal tailor of the Heaven Dou Empire to personally take your measurements and custom-make it right on site."
That made sense.
Finding a wedding dress that fits a six-year-old was like seeking a ghost—practically impossible.
Yet catching the royal tailor so easily was surprising.
Hearing this, Subei understood this wasn't about just any size.
He couldn't help but scold himself secretly for being vulgar and shameless.
How could a simple dragon like Nana get involved in such a shameless hookup?
But it still felt weird.
After trembling while measuring Subei, the middle-aged tailor suddenly realized something.
Shouldn't Subei resist and let Gu Yuena force this marriage?
How could he just let himself be forced, walking crookedly down the aisle?
Damn indulgence, how terrifying!
And the humblest of all was the royal tailor.
Originally savoring the finest works and tea at the Tiandou Royal Outskirts Textile Factory, he had been swept away by a black whirlwind into the depths of the Star Dou Forest.
Focusing, the good fellow saw a few towering soul beasts around the mountain. Their souls were flying free, almost scaring him to death.
Yet those very soul beasts were making their own wedding dresses!
This was an unprecedented scene—unheard of and unseen.
Looking at Subei then, he sighed.
The child looked exquisite, but he feared such a fragile young one would be ruined by soul beasts.
Despite the soul beasts' human forms being handsome, he couldn't withstand their true transformations.
Wanting to marry a human child? Wasn't that perverse?
However, from Gu Yuena's words, Subei learned one more important detail:
Heaven Dou Empire!
This revealed they were still in the world of the first Douluo!
Because in Douluo II, the Heaven Dou Empire had split into the Heaven Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire!
Grasping this clue, Subei asked the royal tailor further questions and confirmed the timeline as the early stage of Douluo I!
Embarrassing as this was, many beautiful names flashed before Subei:
Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Huo Yuhao, Bai Chenxiang, Ye Lingling, Shui Binger, Dugu Goose, Tang Yuehua, Bo Saixi...
"I'm not aiming to be a sea; I just want to love the goddesses a little and claim rewards to become invincible."
Chapter 10 finished—New Book Seeks Support!
This day,
The sun shone bright in the sky.
Warm sunlight filtered through the emerald and dense trees, casting mottled patches of light and shadow on the ground.
It should have been the time when beasts emerged from their nests—
But a strange sight unfolded.
Soul masters hunting in the Star Dou Great Forest all wore confused expressions—especially those high-level soul masters preparing for promotion to Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, or even higher.
They walked cautiously in the forest's mixed circle until their careful hearts relaxed, and finally leaned reluctantly on tree trunks, murmuring:
"Damn, are all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest dead? It's one thing if this area is hit by ten-thousand-year soul beasts during an attack, but now it's rare to find even a qualified one!"
Slap~
One slapped a thousand-year-old wind-tailed cockscomb snake into the air, humming, "The Star Dou Forest is truly declining. Even snakes with a thousand years of cultivation dare come here now!"
"Forget it, let's go deeper. The core zone might have hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, and they'd be troublesome. Let's check the Lunar Forest."
The soul master prepared to retreat.
The entire Star Dou Forest was divided by danger: Terrible Land, Core Area, Mixed Circle, and Outer Circle.
The marginal Outer Circle housed mostly ten- and hundred-year spirit beasts, serving as a training ground for new mainland soul masters.
Most early spirit ring hunts took place here.
The Mixed Circle was home to the thousand- and ten-thousand-year soul beasts—serving as a buffer zone between humans and soul beasts.
Even titled Douluo refrained from unauthorized entry.
The Core Circle contained all ten-thousand-year soul beasts, and even some hundred-thousand-year ones.
The most feared was the forest king—the Titan Great Ape.
As for the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Seven Fierce Beasts—they weren't feared by humans, as they rarely showed in human sight and remained unnoticed.
The mighty Titan Great Ape was famous for having ADHD and hating cruelty.
Often rushing through the forest's Mixed Circle, it disturbed spirit ring hunters.
Killing ugly soul beasts was bearable; killing prized ones meant the Titan Great Ape would beat them into splinters.
Who would dare be reckless?
Thus, the Titan Great Ape was very famous in the human world.
