Enrollment

"Is this Shrek Academy?"

Ye Mo stared in amazement at the towering walls before him. After several days of travel, he had finally arrived at Shrek Academy.

He was not entirely clear on how Shrek Academy had been described in the novel, but he knew that Shrek's scale was comparable to that of a city.

Now that he saw its true appearance, it was even larger than Ye Mo had imagined.

Shrek Academy had been built on the Lima Plains and covered an extremely vast area. It was itself a city, known as Shrek City. On the Douluo Continent, Shrek City was one of the foremost major cities, home to more than two million people.

The south, west, and north gates of Shrek City were freely accessible, while the eastern gate belonged exclusively to Shrek Academy.

The fox ears on his head had now turned into ordinary human ears, making him look no different from anyone else.

Hu Xue patted Ye Mo on the shoulder and said, "Young Emperor, we should head outside the eastern gate next to buy some daily necessities."

As for Hu Tian and the other elders, they still had clan affairs to handle. The task of escorting Ye Mo to Shrek Academy had been handed to Second Elder Hu Xue, since he had spent the longest time dealing with the outside world.

"Mm, I understand. But once we enter the city, don't call me Young Emperor anymore. My name at Shrek Academy will be Fox Ye Mo."

Ye Mo spoke calmly. The Azure Hill Clan used Fox as their surname, so he would simply add Fox to his original name. In any case, Ye Mo did not care much about names.

"Fox Ye Mo?"

Hu Xue smiled. Sometimes, he felt that his Young Emperor did not seem like an eight-year-old child at all, but more like an old fox.

Before long, led by Hu Tian, Ye Mo arrived outside the eastern gate.

At least five thousand people had gathered outside the eastern gate, making the area beyond it exceptionally lively.

Soon, they had purchased nearly all their daily necessities, and Hu Xue led Ye Mo through the eastern gate.

The environment within Shrek Academy was beautiful, filled with abundant, flourishing vegetation. After walking more than two hundred meters ahead, several enormous statues blocked their view. There were ten statues in total, each over ten meters tall.

Just as Ye Mo was examining the statues, a familiar voice reached his ears.

"Senior Brother, I'll head to the dormitory first."

This was—

Ye Mo's heart stirred as he looked around. Sure enough, he spotted his "old friend" not far away.

Is this what they mean by enemies meeting on a narrow road? Ye Mo chuckled and shook his head. Now was not the time to catch up with Huo Yuhao. He needed to register as soon as possible.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao was bidding farewell to a teenage boy. The boy was tall and straight, with short dark-blue hair that gleamed like gemstones beneath the sunlight.

The moment he turned around, Huo Yuhao froze. A vaguely familiar back appeared before him. That figure was—

There was no mistake. It was that guy.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth as he stared at that figure. Those eye-catching purple pupils were something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

And what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest had definitely been their doing as well.

Bastard! They didn't even leave me a pair of underwear!

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao had encountered Bei Bei and Xiao Ya at the time. Otherwise, even getting out of the Star Dou Great Forest would have been a problem. Huo Yuhao certainly did not want to walk naked into a city to buy clothes.

But hadn't he had fox-like ears? Why were they gone now?

No matter what, I'll remember this grudge.

Huo Yuhao watched the gradually departing figure and silently muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, on Ye Mo's way to the registration office—

"Wow, look! What a handsome little boy!"

"Wow, it's true!"

"Is he a new student?"

"Those purple eyes are so captivating!"

Before long, a large group of girls surrounded Ye Mo. Hu Xue, standing beside him, showed no intention of stopping them and merely watched Ye Mo with a smiling expression.

Ye Mo glared at Hu Xue, then said helplessly to the older girls around him, "Big sisters, could you let us register first?"

"Wow, kid, you really don't know how lucky you are. If this many beauties were surrounding me, who would care about registration?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's resentful voice echoed in Ye Mo's mind.

"You talk too much."

Ye Mo replied irritably. He did not want to flirt around at Shrek. If Hu Zixin and Leng Ning found out, he would probably die horribly.

"You should first tell me whether a million-year soul beast like you is of any use at all."

"You can't use the soul skill, and you blame me? Your martial soul refuses to listen to you. How is that my fault?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had lost his temper as well. He had already suffered enough by becoming Ye Mo's Soul Ring, yet Ye Mo was blaming him now.

Originally, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had wanted to become Ye Mo's intelligent Soul Ring, but the soul was free. Yet now, Ye Mo's martial soul had forcibly bound part of the core of his soul to Ye Mo's own soul.

If Ye Mo died, then he would be finished too. Moreover, Ye Mo could now be said to hold Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's life and death in his hands.

It was similar to a master-servant contract. Ye Mo was the master, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was the servant.

What drove Sky Dream Ice Silkworm mad was that the martial soul simply would not listen to Ye Mo. No matter how Ye Mo called for it, it ignored him completely.

And Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Soul Ring was on that martial soul. If the martial soul ignored Ye Mo, that meant the Soul Ring's abilities could not be used, including the innate soul skills bestowed by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

What Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not expected was that the martial soul could completely withstand his million years of Soul Power.

That made sense. With a power beyond what they could currently reach, how could it possibly fail to withstand his hundred-year Soul Power?

"Perhaps this is punishment for my past life."

Ye Mo spoke faintly, his voice carrying a trace of sorrow and weariness.

At that moment, Ye Mo's heart slowly clenched as though it were expressing that sorrow.

"What?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been lamenting his miserable fate and did not understand what Ye Mo meant at first.

Ye Mo did not answer Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. His consciousness withdrew from his sea of consciousness, and he found himself still surrounded by a group of girls. Yet his heart was as calm as still water.

Ye Mo forcefully pushed away the girls surrounding him, then turned to Hu Xue and said, "Uncle Xue, let's go."

"Mm, all right. Let's go."

Hu Xue scratched his head in confusion as he looked at Ye Mo. What had happened to his Young Emperor? How had he become so cold all of a sudden?

Not far from Ye Mo, a youth quietly watched the direction in which Ye Mo had left, wearing an infatuated expression.

The youth had delicate features and fair skin. His large eyes were especially unusual, a light pinkish-blue color. His neat short hair was the same shade.

Though called a youth, anyone who looked closely would be able to see the feminine features that a girl should have.

"So handsome. He's already this handsome at such a young age. When he grows up, he'll definitely be even more handsome than Father."

I didn't sleep well last night.

I wrote two chapters, and my head had started to hurt.

End of this chapter.
