It Really Has Nothing to Do with Me!

It was already late at night, but the entrance to Shrek Academy was still brightly lit.

Among countless vendor stalls, Huo Yuhao found an empty spot and set up a small grill.

Several golden-brown grilled fish lay spread across the grill, pale grease glistening over them as their rich aroma slowly wafted outward from where he stood.

Although dinner time had long passed, the scent that hit their faces still stirred everyone's appetite.

Huo Yuhao had bought these supplies with the Gold Soul Coins he had borrowed from Ye Chen, intending to use his skill to earn a little spending money.

In front of the grill, many students drawn in by the fragrance stood in an orderly line, waiting for the delicious grilled fish to be ready.

It did not take long for all thirty fish he had prepared to be sold.

Huo Yuhao skillfully sprinkled seasoning over a finished grilled fish and handed it to the male student at the front of the line.

After taking the grilled fish, the male student handed Huo Yuhao five Copper Soul Coins.

"Junior, this grilled fish is just too delicious. Can you sell me a few more?"

The golden grilled fish gave off an enticing fragrance. After taking a bite, the male student was instantly won over by its incredible taste and wanted to buy several more.

"Sorry, Senior. Today's grilled fish is already sold out. Please come back tomorrow."

Huo Yuhao glanced at the four grilled fish remaining on the rack and tactfully refused him.

"Junior, aren't there still four left? How about selling them to us?"

At that moment, four female students dressed in Shrek's purple uniforms approached Huo Yuhao.

The one speaking was an exceptionally beautiful girl leading the group.

She looked fourteen or fifteen years old, with a tall, well-proportioned figure and skin as pure as snow. Her long, wavy golden hair cascaded down her back, and her large, expressive eyes were filled with anticipation as they gazed at the four remaining grilled fish on the rack.

Her beauty was enough to topple kingdoms, leaving Huo Yuhao staring blankly for a moment as his heartbeat unconsciously quickened.

In his memory, only Tang Ya could compare to her in appearance.

"Sorry, Senior Sister, but I saved these grilled fish for my friends. I can only apologize." Though stunned by the girl's beauty, Huo Yuhao still politely declined.

He had planned to bring these grilled fish back for Wang Dong and Ye Chen to try, so naturally he could not sell them off just like that.

Upon hearing this, the stunning girl did not press the matter, though a trace of disappointment appeared on her face.

"Kid, you dare refuse to sell them?"

Just as the girl was about to leave, an angry voice rang out behind her. Dense Soul Power wrapped around a Gold Soul Coin, embedding it completely into the grill.

A young man dressed in tight black clothes stepped past the beautiful girl and reached for the remaining grilled fish at the stall.

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted slightly. Just as he was about to snatch the grilled fish away, another change occurred.

Another golden streak shot over from afar and struck the young man's outstretched hand.

When the two collided, the black-clad young man had not expected anyone to attack him. His originally sharp movement slowed for a moment, while the golden streak was knocked away and fell to the ground with a series of clangs.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Huo Yuhao collected the grilled fish and clearly saw the true nature of that golden light.

It was another Gold Soul Coin!

Have Gold Soul Coins become so worthless that people are using them as weapons? Huo Yuhao was rather speechless.

"Xu Sanshi, you even dare touch someone under my protection? Are you tired of living?"

A calm voice sounded out. Huo Yuhao's face lit up with joy as he looked toward its source.

A boy with Twin Pupils stood there with his hands clasped behind his head and a wooden stick between his lips, looking utterly lazy.

This person was none other than Ye Chen, who had fled Dorm 108 in defeat.

As he fled at top speed, he recalled Huo Yuhao borrowing money and immediately guessed where he would be, so he simply rushed over.

"So it's you. Ye Chen, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have a special status!"

Upon seeing Ye Chen, the corner of the black-clad youth's mouth twitched. He roared loudly.

"Come on, then. Let's see if I don't peel that turtle shell off you today!" Ye Chen was somewhat angry as well.

Xu Sanshi only knew how to bully junior students weaker than himself. Though he might not be a bad person at heart, the fact remained that he was bullying Huo Yuhao right now.

Still somewhat hot-headed, Xu Sanshi was provoked by Ye Chen's words. A nameless fury surged in his heart as two yellow and one purple Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, instantly making the atmosphere tense.

Naturally, Ye Chen was not afraid of him either, secretly mobilizing the Soul Power throughout his body.

Xu Sanshi was one of the few people in the Outer Court who knew Ye Chen, and the reason was Ma Xiaotao.

"Xu Sanshi, what are you doing?"

"Do you think there's no one in our Tang Sect?"

Just as the two were about to fight, two voices rang out at the same time.

The first came from the beautiful girl from earlier, while the second came from the crowd of onlookers.

Following the latter's slightly angry voice, Bei Bei appeared before everyone, no longer wearing his usual refined and gentle expression.

Tang Ya stood beside him, equally furious.

Having heard the commotion, she had dragged Bei Bei over to watch the excitement, only to find Ye Chen confronting Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi narrowed his eyes, seemingly realizing that the situation was not looking good for him as he rapidly calculated in his mind.

"Fine, so you joined the Tang Sect, Ye Chen. But do you think I'll be afraid just because you have more people? If you've got the guts, come with me to the Soul Dueling Arena!"

Xu Sanshi said this to Ye Chen.

He understood the principle of picking the softest persimmon. Although he knew Ye Chen, unlike Bei Bei, he had no idea what Ye Chen's martial soul or strength was. He simply assumed that, since Ye Chen was younger than him, he must be weaker.

He was secretly pleased with himself, unaware that he had picked the strongest person among the four.

"No!"

"No!"

Two more voices rang out at once, from Bei Bei and Tang Ya.

"What, too scared?" Xu Sanshi ignored the two and continued trying to provoke Ye Chen.

"Why would I be scared? Don't worry. Today, I'll definitely beat this guy until he can't take care of himself!" Ye Chen said indignantly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi revealed a lecherous grin, his eyes carrying the cunning satisfaction of a scheme succeeding.

He thought his provocation had worked, but he did not see Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchange a smile, their expressions carrying a hint of gloating.

Xiao Chen is really full of bad ideas. Xu Sanshi is probably going to bleed heavily today!

The same thought arose in both their minds.

"Wait!"

Just as the five of them, including Huo Yuhao, were about to head for the Soul Dueling Arena, a crisp voice interrupted them.

A handsome youth with blue-pink hair fluttered a pair of bright blue butterfly wings behind his back and landed before the group.

"Wang Dong, why are you here?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion after recognizing her.

Damn it, why did this girl chase after me? I thought I'd shaken her off!

Ye Chen's gaze shifted evasively. Feeling guilty, he did not dare look into her eyes.

"I came for him. Aren't you going to the Soul Dueling Arena? I'm joining the side opposing Ye Chen!"

Wang Dong stared fixedly at Ye Chen with her bright eyes and spoke through gritted teeth. Her entire posture made her look like a little girl whose chastity had been stolen.

After hearing this, everyone stared blankly at Wang Dong in disbelief.

In that instant, it felt as though ten thousand alpacas had trampled through Ye Chen's heart. His face was covered in dark lines, and he could not understand it at all.

I only took one look. It's not like we have some deep-seated grudge. Does she really want to beat me up that badly?

Brother Tang San, you saw it, right? I didn't touch your daughter. Her current state really has nothing to do with me. Please show mercy!

In the original story, Tang San had tormented Huo Yuhao horribly.

At that thought, Ye Chen raised his head to the sky, his eyes filled with utter despair.

What kind of mess was this?!

Some people might not like it, but I still want to timidly say this: a harem is not the same as being a stud.

Lastly, the remaining chapters will be posted tonight. Let me keep writing for a while longer.
