This Is a Bit Immoral

Meanwhile, on Sea God Island, under the trees by the lake in front of Zhou Huan's dormitory.

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Huan instantly erased the image of Tang Wutong and Wang Qiu'er who had just been talking. He then looked at the little girl beside him, whose gossip was burning brightly, and Wen Xiaoshuai, who was pretending to be indifferent, and sighed, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? It's a little unethical."

Hearing this, the little girl pouted and rolled her eyes at Zhou Huan: "Why don't you wait until next year? You've already seen it all, and you're still talking about how immoral it is."

Zhou Huan immediately denied it. "You little Xiao Xiao, who was it that said Huo Yuhao was back and wanted to see Asura triangle? Was it you?"

The little girl scoffed and said, "I did want to see that scumbag Hao's Asura scene, but you were the only one who actually did anything from beginning to end. I don't have the ability to block out that scumbag Hao's mental perception right now, and I let him and Tang Wutong run into Qiu'er directly."

Suddenly, Zhou Huan felt a bit annoyed. Although he also wanted to see Asura scene, wasn't it the little girl who first instigated it? He was just an accomplice. Yes, that's right, the mastermind was the little girl.

So Zhou Huan looked at Wen Xiaoshuai and said, "Old Wen, tell me, wasn't Xiao Xiao the one who was most excited just now? Was it because she kept pestering me that I did this ridiculous thing?"

However, Wen Xiaoshuai shook his head, looking completely bewildered and innocent. "I don't know what you're talking about. I was just lost in thought, contemplating cultivation."

Zhou Huan & Xiao Xiao: "... You really are a dog."

Wen Xiaoshuai completely ignored the two of them, remaining lost in thought.

Seeing this, Zhou Huan could only give Wen Xiaoshuai a speechless look of disdain, then coughed a few times. "Ahem, well, Xiao Xiao, let's not fight amongst ourselves. But Qiu'er is a bit strange. She didn't lose her temper just now, and she even spoke to the class monitor in a very polite and courteous manner. Do you know what's going on?"

After hearing this, the little girl smiled smugly, "Of course it's all thanks to me! Do you think throwing a tantrum will win back your man? No, no, no, that will only make you look repulsive. It won't do anything at all. On the contrary, don't you men love tea ceremony the most?"

As she spoke, the little girl confidently raised her eyebrows.

Zhou Huan opened her mouth slightly, speechless. "..."

Wen Xiaoshuai, who was "daydreaming" nearby, twitched his lips slightly.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Huan said, "... Xiao Xiao, who taught you all this? You don't even have a boyfriend, where did you get all this weird knowledge?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao looked at Zhou Huan as if she were an idiot and replied, "Haven't you ever seen a pig run even if you haven't eaten pork? Besides, Senior Disciple Sister has quite a few books like that on her bookshelf, such as <General Outline of Tea Art> and <One Hundred Sentences of Tea Talk>. You haven't read them, have you?"

What???

Zhou Huan's eyes widened instantly, his innocent young heart utterly shocked!

He had never actually looked through Sister Lexuan's bookshelf.

The main reason is that in his previous life, he was deeply influenced by novels, and once he started reading, he couldn't stop. Moreover, as a shut-in, he had read far too many novels. So in this life, he vowed never to touch novels again.

Furthermore, Sister Lexuan's love for reading is nothing new; most of the time she reads martial arts novels or realistic novels, and occasionally she also reads romance novels.

But Zhou Huan really didn't expect that there would be a book about "tea ceremony" in Sister Lexuan's bookcase.

That's... unbelievable.

Sigh, it's a pity that Sister Lexuan hasn't come back yet. Otherwise, I really wanted to "interrogate" her and ask her what she was thinking, reading this kind of book.

Thinking about this, Zhou Huan felt a little depressed again, as he often missed his wife.

In fact, it had been almost ten months since he returned to the Douluo Continent, and he had tried to go to the Forbidden Land of Gods again, but all attempts ended in failure.

Seeing Zhou Huan's silence, Xiao Xiao knew he was probably missing his Senior Disciple Sister again, so she said, "Master Zhou, don't worry, Senior Disciple Sister definitely return safely. If she hasn't returned in a few years, I'll go in before I break through to the god level."

Wen Xiaoshuai also said, "Actually, I can go in now."

However, Zhou Huan shook his head and said, "According to Uncle Wang and Aunt Ling, the Forbidden Land of Gods is fraught with danger. There's no need for you to take the risk. What if you all end up going back in before you even get out? I believe Sister Lexuan will come back."

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao and Wen Xiaoshuai didn't say anything more. However, they certainly couldn't just let it go like that. After all, Zhou Huan had helped them so much, and they had to do something in return.

Just then, a handsome young man dressed in gray walked over.

It was Huo Gua who had just visited Mu En at the Golden Tree.

Huo Gua saw Zhou Huan and the other two sitting around a stone table with a deck of cards scattered on it, and said with a complicated expression, "You guys are quite... leisurely."

It's pitiful that he fought for several months in the Mingdou Mountain Range, enduring wind and rain, yet still suffered defeats.

Although he had gone to Ming Dou to support the Star Luo Empire more than once or twice, this time he felt particularly tired.

Unlike Zhou Huan and the others, who are playing cards and chatting peacefully, this place is so idyllic.

Envious.

Upon seeing Huo Gua arrive, Xiao Xiao was the first to speak, "Hey, class monitor, instead of spending time with your 'two' girlfriends, you have time to come see us?"

The focus is on "two people".

If Xiao Xiao used to be Wang Dong'er's best friend and a die-hard "Donghao Party" member, now that Wang Dong'er has become Tang Wutong, she has completely become a "Qiuhao Party" member.

This is even more terrifying than a fan turning into a hater and then turning against them.

Hearing Xiao Xiao's somewhat sarcastic teasing, Huo Gua's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, but he quickly recovered. "Ahem, it's because I had to go to the Golden Tree to see my teacher first, so I just came here on the way."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao chuckled and stated bluntly, "Running away won't solve the problem."

Zhou Huan sighed inwardly. This little girl used to admire Huo Gua so much, but now she despises Huo Gua just as much, not for any other reason than the word "scumbag".

So, Zhou Huan had no choice but to ease the awkwardness by changing the subject. "Well, the class monitor must have come here for something important, right?"

Unexpectedly, Huo Gua replied with a serious expression, "Yes, it is something important. The teacher's soul is about to give out, and I'm thinking, I'm thinking, do you have any way to help the teacher?"

Oh, so it's about Mu En.

Zhou Huan said, "I can indeed pluck Mu En's soul from the Golden Tree and then slowly nourish it, so it's not impossible for him to recover in the future. However, Mu En rejected my proposal before, saying that the Golden Tree is the final resting place of the successive Sea God Pavilion Master, and this is a way of giving back to Shrek; he doesn't want to be an exception."

Huo Gua remained silent. He actually understood what his teacher meant, but he was still wondering if Zhou Huan, whose realm had reached above the god level, could still save his teacher without separating his soul.

Unfortunately, it seems that's no longer possible.

For Huo Gua, his teacher Mu En was a figure of profound gratitude, and his place in his heart was no less than that of Elder Yi.

The impending death of Mu En is a significant blow to Huo Gua.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan still offered a word of comfort, "Everyone has their own choices. As long as you can follow your own wishes, that's a blessing. You don't need to overthink it."

Upon hearing this, Huo Gua nodded silently, his expression still somewhat saddened.

Just then, a green light suddenly flashed out from between Huo Gua's eyebrows.

Immediately, a stunningly beautiful young woman dressed in a long emerald green dress appeared before everyone.

It's clearly Ice Empress.

Ice Empress looked at Zhou Huan with a hint of expectation in her eyes, but her tone remained aloof. "Zhou Huan, Snow Empress here?"

When they last met, Zhou Huan told her that Snow Empress had returned to the Extreme North, which made her miss him terribly. Now that he's back, she's determined to see him.

Back then, she was heartbroken for a long time after hearing that Zhou Huan had fallen into the Space Rift. Of course, it wasn't because of Zhou Huan, but because of Snow Empress. Now, she was determined to see Snow Empress with her own eyes.
