“Infact,Idon’twanttoproposetosomanygirls.Iwanttobeanuprightgentleman!”

However,itseemedthatthestarsdidn’tthinkso.Inthatcase,eventhoughYunXihadobtainedhisWaterGod’sMaskandcouldcontrolthemistinthisworld,hestillneededtodoSideQuestFourtostrengthenhimself.Inordertoachievethat,hehadtoaskforhisfirstfiance’shelp.

"No.Ineedfiance’s...no,brides."YunXilookedatLuLuawkwardly.
