Wang Dong: Unpromising Tears Flowed from the Corners of Her Mouth

Inside the dormitory, Bei Bei had originally only asked casually.

But to his surprise, Huo Yuhao directly told him that he was already at Level 19.

Bei Bei froze completely. Even the hands washing the ingredients trembled slightly.

"Little Brother Yuhao, are you serious?"

"You're already Level 19 so quickly?"

Bei Bei quickly came back to his senses, then asked Huo Yuhao again with a shocked expression.

Huo Yuhao smiled when he heard this and directly released the soul power within his body. "Bei Bei-ge, why would I lie to you? Feel it for yourself."

Bei Bei carefully sensed the soul power on Huo Yuhao's body.

After examining it, he discovered that Huo Yuhao had not lied.

The soul power on his body was indeed powerful, truly having reached Level 19.

This immediately left him utterly horrified.

After all, he knew very clearly—

Not long ago, Huo Yuhao had only just obtained his First Soul Ring.

But how long had it been?

His Soul Power Level had already reached Level 19.

At this rate of cultivation, it would not be long before Huo Yuhao directly raised his cultivation to Level 20.

After his shock, Bei Bei could only sigh helplessly. "Little Brother Yuhao, your cultivation speed is truly fast."

Tang Ya, standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

But then again, Huo Yuhao had even managed to create a Self-Created Soul Skill. His talent had been ridiculously monstrous from the start.

Coupled with how diligently he cultivated, it was perfectly normal for him to improve this much.

The group continued busying themselves.

They talked about amusing things each of them had encountered.

But as they chatted, they heard another honest, simple voice coming from outside.

"Hello, is this Huo Yuhao's dormitory?"

The visitor opened the door and asked the people inside with a guileless smile.

Huo Yuhao turned his gaze over and discovered that He Caitou had arrived.

"Big Brother He, you're here. Come, come, have a seat first. We've just finished washing the ingredients, so I'll get cooking now."

Huo Yuhao warmly said to He Caitou.

Then he introduced Bei Bei and Tang Ya to him. "Oh, right, Big Brother He, let me introduce you."

"This is Tang Ya-jie, a Fourth Grade student in the Martial Soul Department's Outer Court. She's very good to me, so you two should get to know each other."

"This is Tang Ya-jie's boyfriend, Bei Bei-ge. He's also from the Martial Soul Department. I was able to come to Shrek Academy thanks to the two of them."

Huo Yuhao then introduced He Caitou to Bei Bei and Tang Ya.

"Bei Bei-ge, Tang Ya-jie, this is Big Brother He. His full name is He Caitou."

"He's very impressive~ He's a Soul Engineer from the Soul Tool Department. And he's Teacher Fan Yu's disciple."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's introduction, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were both somewhat surprised.

After all, Fan Yu's reputation was quite great.

Although his Soul Tool expertise was not considered the very best within Shrek Academy, he was still among the best.

Moreover, Teacher Fan Yu was said to have accepted only one disciple.

It seemed that disciple was the He Caitou before them.

Thinking of this, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were both secretly astonished.

Neither had expected that Huo Yuhao, having only been at Shrek Academy for such a short time, would already know someone like this.

Thus, they became much more polite toward He Caitou. "Hello, Brother He."

He Caitou also replied to them both with a guileless smile.

However, he was not very good with words and did not know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, Bei Bei was also quite sociable and had a very gentle personality.

With him starting the conversation, they gradually grew familiar as they talked.

Huo Yuhao was still busy cooking and had no time to chat.

Meanwhile, through their conversation with He Caitou, Bei Bei and Tang Ya also learned many things.

For example, Huo Yuhao might one day become Teacher Fan Yu's disciple as well.

This left the two of them greatly surprised.

It seemed that gold would shine wherever it went.

Even Teacher Fan Yu from the Soul Tool Department had set his sights on Huo Yuhao.

But the more Tang Ya thought about it, the more she regretted that Huo Yuhao had not joined the Tang Sect.

She liked this little brother very much and had even begun to see him as her own younger brother.

If he had been willing to join the Tang Sect, Tang Ya would certainly have doted on him even more fervently.

Unfortunately, he was unwilling, and that had always been a source of regret for Tang Ya.

"Chicken Soup is here!"

Huo Yuhao brought all the dishes he had prepared to the table.

There was Grilled Fish, shellfish, Chicken Soup, Green Vegetables, crabs, Spare Ribs, cauliflower...

As he set this whole spread on the table, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and He Caitou were all dumbfounded.

Looking at the spectacular scene before them and smelling the mouthwatering aroma wafting up from the dishes, every one of them felt saliva pooling in their mouths.

He Caitou could not help asking, "Brother Yuhao, you weren't trained as a chef, were you? How are you so amazing? Your cooking is this good?"

Huo Yuhao answered with a faint smile, "No, no. They're just ordinary home-cooked dishes."

Bei Bei laughed. "Little Brother Yuhao, honestly, when Xiaoya and I used to eat at restaurants, a meal that cost two Gold Soul Coins wasn't even as lavish as this one."

Huo Yuhao smiled. "It's all right. Everyone, hurry up and try some. There are drinks too."

As he spoke, he took out the drinks, and everyone quickly began sampling the food on the table.

The dishes had already looked exceptionally appetizing.

Now that they had tasted them, the rich flavors burst across their taste buds.

Bei Bei, He Caitou, and the others could not stop praising Huo Yuhao's cooking.

He Caitou directly gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs-up.

Bei Bei, meanwhile, gave him the extremely high praise of saying that even a three-star chef was no match for him.

Tang Ya was even more straightforward. She simply opened her mouth and ate, not even having time to speak.

Huo Yuhao smiled modestly at the sight.

At that moment, Wang Dong, who had just returned from outside, caught the scent of the delicious food in the dormitory and immediately felt hungry.

"What's going on? Why does the dorm smell so good?"

She walked inside and quickly discovered Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and the others enjoying the meal.

Wang Dong had originally intended to put on an indifferent act, but the moment she saw the variety of dishes and smelled the aroma rushing toward her, her stomach betrayed her with a loud growl.

Her cheeks could not help growing a little hot, while Bei Bei asked Huo Yuhao, "Little Brother Yuhao, who is this?"

Huo Yuhao answered, "This is my roommate, Wang Dong."

He fell silent for a moment, then looked at Wang Dong before finally saying, "Wang Dong, if you don't mind, come join us and make do with the meal."

It would not be right for them to eat in the dorm while Wang Dong merely watched. It would be awkward for her not to eat, and awkward for them to eat in front of her.

So Huo Yuhao simply decided to invite her to eat with them. That way, neither side would feel awkward.

"Really? Thank you so much."

Wang Dong had not expected Huo Yuhao to take the initiative to invite her.

And what she found strangest was that Huo Yuhao had only shown her the slightest bit of goodwill.

Why did it make her feel so happy?

Wang Dong was so delighted that the corners of her mouth nearly stretched to her ears, and the smile on her face simply would not fade.
