Shrek City.
In a room of the inn, Tang Ya sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Her long, high ponytail hung down her back, and she wore a blue and white training uniform. Although she didn't show her legs or waist, she still showed off her curvaceous figure, but there were no admirers around her.
However, her delicate oval face was now filled with disappointment.
Sigh~
With a soft sigh, Tang Ya opened her beautiful phoenix eyes. Her usual youthful liveliness had completely vanished, replaced only by deep pain.
"My cultivation is getting slower and slower. When will I be able to become strong enough to take revenge?"
Welcome to the (Harem Family) chat group!
"who!"
Tang Ya changed her sigh from before, her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes quickly scanned the area, but she found nothing. As soon as she finished speaking, an interface appeared in front of her!
(A large imperial harem, consisting of six people)
Whose harem? How could I be someone else's harem!
Next to the group name were some settings. Just as Tang Ya was about to study this suddenly appearing thing, "ding" sounded and two pieces of information popped up on the interface!
[Ice Frog is better than Poison Frog: Hey, is anyone there?]
[Ice Frog is stronger than Poison Frog: Could this be a mental soul guide device?]
After someone started speaking, the others who could see the screen also chimed in.
[The vengeful girl: Unlike a soul tool, she shows no fluctuations.]
[Grilled Fish Girl: Am I still dreaming?]
[Dong'er is not a girl: How could that be? I just pinched myself, it hurt so much, it's not a dream.]
Tang Ya glanced at the list and found it all to be meaningless. It seemed they, like her, didn't know what it was either, and she would have to figure it out herself.
I clicked on the group settings on the right and saw some new content.
(Group announcement, new!)
(Group archives, group videos, group photo albums.)
(Pinned - Off)
(Do Not Disturb - Off)
(Group nickname: Harem Family)
(Leave the group chat!)
Tang Ya clicked through them one by one and basically understood how to use this suddenly appearing interface.
(Group announcement.)
(This group chat allows chatting, transferring money, sharing pictures and videos...)
It's like a soul tool that can communicate, but there's no energy fluctuation at all, yet it can transfer money? That's really strange.
Everyone uses nicknames, so it doesn't seem right for her to use her real name. After thinking for a moment, Tang Ya also changed her nickname to one for communicating with others.
[Soul tools are evil: Are you all real people?]
Scrolling up the chat history reveals mostly simple, uninteresting conversations. No one's talking anymore; they've probably all gone to check the rules!
[Ice frog is better than poison frog: Of course it's true, it can't be that I, who am naturally beautiful, am fake, right?]
[Ice Frog is stronger than Poison Frog: Hey, your name isn't very appealing. Soul tools are perfect in my eyes, so why are you called evil?]
Tang Ya was still researching other uses when she saw that this ice frog was questioning her name, and she immediately got angry!
If it weren't for this evil soul tool, the Tang Clan wouldn't have fallen, and her parents wouldn't have died. So all the tragedies that befell her were the fault of the soul tool!
[Soul tools are evil: they are evil, and if it weren't for soul tools, our Tang Sect wouldn't have been destroyed.]
Tang Ya angrily sent a message, but instead of receiving a reply from Ice Frog, she received another message.
[Grilled Fish Girl: Tang Clan? You wouldn't happen to be Sister Tang Ya, would you?]
[Soul tools are evil: ? How do you know?]
[Grilled Fish Girl: I'm Yu'er,]
[Ice Frog is stronger than Poison Frog: I've also heard of that Tang Clan. Their so-called hidden weapons are nothing more than low-end versions of soul tools.]
[Grilled Fish Girl: How could you say that? Your hidden weapons are very powerful.]
[Soul tools are evil: Exactly, Yu'er is right, how could it be a low-end version!]
[Ice Frog is stronger than Poison Frog: Heh, if hidden weapons are so powerful, why are they overshadowed by our soul tools, and why are they wiped out? Business is all about supply and demand. If nobody buys your stuff, can you blame us for doing it too well?]
[Soul tools are evil: If the Sun Moon Empire hadn't been about to start a war, how could our Tang Sect disciples have died in large numbers, and how could we have fallen into decline!]
Tang Ya was not to be outdone. How could she think she had done something wrong? It was all because of the existence of the evil soul tool. If it didn't exist, how could anything else have happened?
Icefrog was the same way. He was convinced that Tangmen was unambitious, didn't know how to improve, did poor business, and had no customers, yet he blamed others for doing well. An argument broke out instantly.
Tang Ya and Huo Yu'er clash with Meng Hongchen!
The other two girls who had chat groups were getting a headache from the noise.
[Dong'er is not a girl: There's a "Do Not Disturb" setting; turning it off will stop the noise!]
[Revengeful Girl: Okay!]
...
An unknown small town.
Outside the city lord's mansion.
Chu Mo frowned as he walked out, holding a letter in his hand.
This is what is called a letter of recommendation. No matter what, he is a person with innate soul power of level 8, and he has already reached level 30 at the age of 12. Yet he still needs to go through the trouble of spending money to pull strings in order to get into Shrek Academy.
Looking the envelope up and down, Chu Mo felt inexplicably annoyed.
Speechless. Evil people use their limited power to make things difficult for others.
Even as a time traveler, I almost didn't get the letter of introduction. I had to rely on the chat group's camera function to identify good medicinal herbs and sell them to earn money to bribe the city lord.
"No matter what, I've got it now. Let's see how this so-called Monster Academy differs from the one I remember. If it's really too bad, I can train on my own. Anyway, I have a cheat code."
Chu Mo shook his head, trying to shake off the thought of being tricked.
Going to Shrek Academy was merely to fulfill a promise made to a girl he had met before.
After thinking it over, I switched to the chat interface.
bite!
Chu Mo was shocked when he saw the 99+ next to the group chat.
Holy crap, there's someone here?
"They can chat so much?" Chu Mo had no idea when or who was added to the QQ group.
There was someone else who seemed nice, but when I clicked in, I found they were arguing. I was a little confused, but since the group chat wasn't disabled, Chu Mo didn't say anything and just watched.
Arguing is pointless; it's all just mutual insults like "idiot" and "fool." Anyone who didn't know better would think they were flirting.
Chu Mo narrowed his eyes, pressed the button to return to the top, and carefully read this gossip. While reading, he also discovered their identities.
Soul tools are evil—someone has already revealed the other party's identity: Tang Ya.
Ice Frog is stronger than Poison Frog --- this should be Meng Hongchen, you can tell from the chat that she has inexplicable confidence in soul tools.
The grilled fish girl has already exposed Huo Yu'er.
The other two group members didn't chat much, but you could guess their identities from their nicknames.
Wang Dong'er and Orange.
