A ray of morning sunlight spilled into a basin in the southwest corner of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang Ya's face was filled with pain and apology, and Jiang Nannan's expression was no better.

"Yuhao, we are so sorry. This is all our fault. If it weren't for the fact that we were..."

"Yuhao, won't you turn around and look at us? We will take responsibility for you, just like a woman should."

Huo Yuhao turned around, his waist aching just a little bit.

"Sister Xiaoya, Sister Nannan, please stop shaking me."

"Let my waist rest. I'm not angry with you; I'm just..."

Jiang Nannan covered Huo Yuhao's mouth. "Alright, don't say any more. I know!"

Tang Ya also wore an embarrassed expression; this matter was their responsibility.

After confirming that Huo Yuhao was alright, Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan began to tidy themselves up.

They picked up the tattered clothing from the ground, seeing that glaring splash of plum-red on the hems of their skirts.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan exchanged a glance, their expressions complex.

They clearly hadn't expected that they would end up in such a situation...

The two of them knew they couldn't blame anyone; if they had to blame someone, it could only be that lecherous Evil Soul Master for having such a wretched soul skill.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were also reflecting on the matter; they had been far too careless this time.

Because the combat power displayed by their opponent had been so pathetic, they had underestimated him in their hearts.

If they had finished off that Evil Soul Master sooner, perhaps this situation wouldn't have occurred.

The two were also incredibly fortunate that they had brought Yuhao along; giving themselves to Yuhao was far better than giving themselves to that filthy creature.

The three of them stayed in this basin for a few more days to recover.

With the start of the term at Shrek approaching, the three of them could not stay here forever.

By the fourth day, under Tang Ya's lead, the three of them officially set out on their journey.

Due to what had happened a few days prior, the three of them were physically uncomfortable, and they traveled very slowly.

By the third day, Huo Yuhao and the others were not far from Shrek Academy, and the sky had already begun to darken.

The three of them found a clear stream to set up camp, intending to spend the night there.

Arriving at the creek, Tang Ya was immediately excited to eat Huo Yuhao's grilled fish.

Given the relationship between the two, Huo Yuhao would naturally satisfy such a small request.

One by one, fresh, tender fish were caught by the three of them.

Huo Yuhao set up the grill, and one fragrant, crispy grilled fish after another came out of his hands. The three of them ate with immense satisfaction.

After the meal, they lay together on the grass to watch the stars.

"Yuhao, let me ask you something. How do you view the relationship between us?" Tang Ya said, her words coming out a bit stumblingly.

Faced with this situation, she was inevitably a little nervous, as it was her first time experiencing such a thing in her life.

Huo Yuhao looked at the nervous Tang Ya. "How I view the relationship between us!"

Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao, full of anticipation.

"That depends on how you view the relationship between us, Sister Xiaoya," Huo Yuhao said.

Tang Ya's beautiful brows furrowed; she was not satisfied with this answer. "Look at me? Why look at me?"

Huo Yuhao raised his eyes. "Yes, look at you. Look at what kind of relationship you want to develop with me!"

"If you want to become a couple with me, Sister Xiaoya, I will work hard to pursue you."

"By the same token, Sister Nannan, the same applies to you!"

Huo Yuhao calmly pulled both of them into his embrace.

"As long as you are willing, for the sake of love, I can pursue both of you at the same time."

Tang Ya chuckled. "Pursuing both of us? Little Yuhao, you're so young, but you talk quite big!"

"What you're doing isn't right. Being a playboy is a bad character trait!" Jiang Nannan said with a serious expression.

Looking at the beauties in his arms with their small faces tilted upward, the moonlight shining upon their stunning features, Huo Yuhao's gaze became somewhat dazed.

The two noticed Huo Yuhao's actions, and a smile curled at the corners of their mouths.

"Alright, Yuhao, let's end today's conversation here!"

"We both need time!"

Huo Yuhao returned to his tent, and as soon as his consciousness entered his Sea of Consciousness, three gazes watching the show were cast his way.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's acting was exaggerated. "Yuhao, I didn't expect you to look so honest, yet have such a broad heart."

"As long as you are all willing, I can pursue both of you at the same time."

Ice Empress snorted, "That's men for you!"

As for Snow Empress, she looked at Huo Yuhao with a rather strange expression.

"Alright, Yuhao has been very tired lately. Big Bug, all of you, say less!" Electrolux's steady voice came through.

Huo Yuhao was moved to tears by Electrolux standing up for him, "Teacher!"

Electrolux patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, looking earnest as he spoke.

"Yuhao, as your teacher, I must remind you that you should still be mindful of your philandering."

"If you ever run into that kind of situation... even Teacher won't be able to help you!"

"Teacher, you..." Huo Yuhao looked on in disbelief. Am I still your disciple?

Tian Meng and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud; the Sea of Consciousness was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

After a four-day journey, the three of them finally arrived at the continent's number one academy, Shrek.

Walking into the academy, Huo Yuhao, led by Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, smoothly completed the registration procedures for a new student.

"Yuhao, Sister Xiaoya has a question for you. That White Tiger emblem printed on your recommendation letter—could it be that you're from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?" Tang Ya asked.

Huo Yuhao's tone was calm, "You mean this? I am from there, and that White Tiger Duke is just a father I'm not familiar with."

"A father? You're the son of the White Tiger Duke!" Jiang Nannan blinked her beautiful, large eyes.

Tang Ya said, "A father you're not familiar with? How could anyone not be familiar with their own father?"

Huo Yuhao replied, "365 days a year, he spends 366 days out fighting wars. Do you think I'm familiar with him?"

"That makes so much sense!"

"Alright, we've reached the new student dormitory. You've got your room key, so Sister Nannan and I will be heading off now!"

"Yuhao, if you run into any trouble, remember to tell us right away!"

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan waved at Huo Yuhao with lingering reluctance. After traveling together all this way, the time for them to part had finally come.

Having separated from the two, Huo Yuhao arrived at the entrance of the new student dormitory.

Huo Yuhao also saw him—Mu En, the man Ye Xishui described as dull and honest, but who was actually a true battle-hardened wolf and the one who had "fed" the Douluo world.

But honestly, at first glance, Huo Yuhao would never have imagined that such a kind-looking and sluggish old man could have been someone who played so wildly in his youth.

A strange feeling stirred in Huo Yuhao's heart, and he took the initiative to walk over and greet him, "Yo, hello there, old timer. Enjoying the sun?"

Mu En didn't even lift his head, his voice trembling as he asked, "Are you a new student this year?"

"Yes, old man!" A hint of mischief flashed in the depths of Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"Old man! I walked all the way here from the Star Luo Empire, and now my back and legs are aching."

Mu En was left somewhat stunned by Huo Yuhao's question: If you're tired, shouldn't you go to the dormitory? Why come and ask him?

"Young man, if you're tired, go rest. Why are you telling an old man like me about this?"

Huo Yuhao beamed. "Old man, I think this chair of yours is quite nice!"

"Why don't you stand up and crawl around for a while, and let me sit down and lie on it!"
