"Xiaotao, how about going to my place today?" Lan Mei walked over.
Beside her was the weak, pitiful, and helpless Huo Yuhao.
"I can't go today. I have to go back to my shimu later, and I'll probably be in closed-door cultivation for the next few days," Ma Xiaotao said helplessly. She had only taken a patrol mission, so she appeared on the city gate and happened to meet Lan Mei.
"Oh, I see. Alright, I won't disturb your cultivation time then." Lan Mei nodded understandingly.
Ma Xiaotao's gaze shifted to Huo Yuhao. A curve appeared on her red lips, but she didn't say anything. She could feel that Huo Yuhao's soul power aura far surpassed what it had been before.
Huo Yuhao's expression was calm; he had already thought of an explanation.
"Bei Bei, Xiao Ya, are you two going back to the academy? Shall we go together?" Ma Xiaotao asked.
"Okay," the two of them nodded in agreement.
"Yuhao, we're leaving first," Tang Ya and Bei Bei said to Huo Yuhao.
"Yeah," Huo Yuhao nodded, "See you when school starts."
Tang Ya smiled and then removed the Soul Tool ring from her right hand and gave it to Huo Yuhao.
"Return it to me when we meet at the Academy next time."
Huo Yuhao clenched the storage Soul Tool in his right hand, watching the three of them leave.
"Let's go." Lan Mei glanced at Huo Yuhao, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Huo Yuhao's body trembled, and he followed Lan Mei back to the barbecue shop like a timid little wife.
"So, you're saying you were taken to get a soul ring by those three old acquaintances of yours?"
Lan Mei held a feather duster in her hand, her expression one of astonishment.
"Yes." Huo Yuhao knelt down on the futon, his expression serious, and said in a low voice, "Sister Lan Mei, you should know about my dagger Soul Tool, right? It's a fifth-level Soul Tool, left to me by my mother. Those few old acquaintances took me to hunt for a soul ring out of respect for my mother."
"I just didn't want to bother you again to help me find someone to get a soul ring."
Lan Mei looked at Huo Yuhao in silence, as if trying to tell if he was lying or telling the truth, but in the end, she sighed.
"Anyway, it's good that you're okay. Are you hungry?"
"I'm hungry." Huo Yuhao nodded quickly.
Lan Mei flicked a finger at Huo Yuhao's brow. "It's just that your sister is kind-hearted, otherwise, I would have beaten you to death."
Saying this, Lan Mei was about to leave, but Huo Yuhao stopped her.
"Lan Mei jie, I brought you a gift."
With that, Huo Yuhao channeled his soul power into the storage ring Tang Ya had left for him. The next moment, with a ripple of soul power, the three-meter-long, lifeless body of a soul beast appeared in the living room.
"This is a soul beast." Lan Mei looked curiously at the Crimson Sun Snake's corpse. "Where did you get it?"
"Bei ge, Xiao Ya jie, and I worked together to kill this soul beast. Xiao Ya jie absorbed the soul ring, and I took the body. I thought I'd give it to you and Aunt Lan, Lan Mei jie."
"This is a fifteen-hundred-year-old Crimson Sun Snake."
Lan Mei was taken aback for a moment. Seeing the smile in Huo Yuhao's eyes, her heart warmed. "Take it to the ice cellar. I'll make lunch. Your Aunt Lan went to her old friend's house again, and she won't be back for a few days."
"Alright." Huo Yuhao picked up the Crimson Sun Snake and happily went to the ice cellar on the first basement floor.
"Big Brother, why did he insist on sending Xiao Qi to Shrek Academy? Wouldn't it be better for her to stay with us? We can teach her just fine."
On top of a towering mountain, inside a castle, in a certain room, a very burly black-haired man was talking to another burly man with green hair.
The green-haired man was called Niu Tian.
He held a wine glass, gently swirling it. "Who knows, but he's Xiao Qi's father, and we can't really refuse his decision."
"Besides, Shrek Academy has been around for ten thousand years, and now has many powerful Soul Masters. Its Poseidon Pavilion's head is even an Ultimate Douluo. It's not a bad place for Xiao Qi to go."
"Most importantly, with how much you dote on Xiao Qi, you'll spoil her eventually. It's better for her to go out and see the world."
The black-haired man, Titan, chuckled and didn't argue.
"It's getting late. Let's go to Shrek Academy with Xiao Qi," Niu Tian put down his wine glass and stood up. Even though he wasn't releasing any aura, he felt as heavy as a mountain.
In another room in the castle, even though the castle was very old, this room was decorated in a very girly way.
In front of a giant mirror, a handsome 'young man' who was all dressed and ready nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems this lady's... this young master's disguise technique is now flawless."
"It's just..."
Thinking to herself, the girl, disguised as a boy, fell silent, her gaze unfathomable. "Why would I want to dress as a man?"
Knock, knock.
A knock on the door interrupted the girl's thoughts.
"Xiao Dong, it's time to leave with Grandpa and Uncle."
"Coming," the girl replied. She immediately put the luggage on the bed into her storage ring. Just as she finished, she was about to leave the room.
Suddenly, the space around her twisted strangely. A hint of azure light flashed through the girl's clear eyes, and she became momentarily vacant. But in the next instant, she returned to normal.
She was stunned, however. She turned her head and looked around, a strange expression on her face. But everything was calm. She shook her head and opened the door, walking outside.
Shrek Academy had only one month of vacation each year, and the day of reopening was only three days away.
The east gate of Shrek was exclusively for the use of Shrek Academy. No city defense force was stationed there, but no one dared to underestimate it.
To maintain order, over thirty Soul Emperors and ten Soul Sages gathered outside the gate today.
Outside the gate, perhaps because the start of the new semester was approaching, thousands of people had already gathered. Various vendors had also smelled the scent of money, and all kinds of food carts were gathered in one place, making it seem like a food street.
"After you register today, Yuhao, you'll be living at Shrek Academy," Lan Mei said, leading Huo Yuhao through the bustling crowd. They stopped in front of the huge gate.
A large number of new students who were registering for Shrek had already gathered under the gate. Most of them were dressed luxuriously and spoke elegantly. Even before joining the academy, they had already formed small groups.
There were also some young men and women dressed very plainly, but they were few and far between, mostly standing quietly to the side.
The ratio of commoner soul masters to noble soul masters was almost one to twenty.
One commoner soul master, twenty wealthy soul masters.
"How are you feeling? Nervous?" Lan Mei turned to Huo Yuhao, whose height was the same as hers, and asked.
"Not bad, not as excited as I thought I'd be," Huo Yuhao said with a light laugh.
"After you enter the academy, you have to work hard in your cultivation. Your elder sister is waiting for you to become strong enough to take her flying!"
Lan Mei teased.
"Attention, everyone! Registration for new students at Shrek Academy officially begins. All applicants holding letters of recommendation, please enter the new student building to register and complete the standard assessment."
Before Huo Yuhao could respond to Lan Mei, an announcement sounded.
In an instant, everyone who had been chatting together perked up.
Not long after, the new students entered the academy, heading inside.
