[Snake Girl actually wanted Ning Rongrong to fall into depravity. As long as she could seduce her, she could take her back and flaunt her in front of the others. Compared with the earlier plan, Snake Girl was finally about to make her move, while the little princess still sat right in front of her...]
"Phew!"
At the thought of Ning Rongrong stepping forward, Luo Mo and the others nearly choked.
Fortunately, Bai Hu had appeared in time to save the little princess of the Star Luo Empire.
Even so, Snake Girl's resentment still ran deep.
Everyone wanted to kill her, yet she'd actually thought she could play along with them and seduce her target.
[Snake Girl was about to make Ning Rongrong fall into depravity. "Master, don't harm little Snake. She's my best friend," Ning Rongrong pleaded. Bai Hu's mouth twitched as he wondered what to say. In the end, he turned into a miserable-looking old man, but when he tried to make up his mind, Snake Girl...]
The daily torture had finally come to an end.
Tian Dou felt a faint sense of loss and wanted to take another look.
Seeing that Tian Dou was still hesitating, Luo Mo hurried him along. "Tian Dou, stop dragging your feet. Time is tight. If you don't get moving, how will you ever make a name for yourself? You can't rely on me to keep doing all the work. You're a grown man. It's time to make a name of your own!"
Tian Dou: "..."
What a miserable life.
In the dormitory, Xiao Wu nudged Luo Mo. "Hey, you've been distracted all afternoon. The afternoon classes are about to start. If we don't leave now, we'll be late!"
Luo Mo: "..."
Eight years later.
The Kingdom of Barak bordered the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
Among the kingdom's eight most important cities, one was its capital, Barak City, while another was Soto City, known as the granary of Barak.
It was noon, and the sun blazed overhead.
Three young people walked out of the west gate of Soto City. There were two boys and a girl, all around twelve or thirteen years old.
One of the boys was about 1.75 meters tall. He wore a clean white outfit, and three strands of hair fell across his brow, shining like starlight. His eyes were deep and dark, and the corner of his mouth held a faint smile.
The other boy was of average height, about 1.75 meters. He had a sturdy build and wore a simple blue outfit. His black hair fell to his shoulders, his skin was slightly tanned, and he smiled along with his companion.
The girl walking beside the two boys was about the same height, also 1.75 meters.
Her smooth, dark hair fell nearly to her calves. Her eyes were as bright as the moon, and her skin was as clear as water. Dressed in a pink top and short skirt, she was lively and charming, like a porcelain doll carved from pink jade.
The three of them were, of course, Luo Mo, Xiao Wu, and Tang San, graduates of the junior division of the Nuoding Academy.
"We've finally made it to Soto City. I really don't understand why you insisted on coming to a place like this," Xiao Wu said, stretching and yawning.
Luo Mo draped an arm over her shoulder. "Xiao San is my little brother. How could I not come with him? I'd be worried sick."
At the end of their first year, the three of them had returned from Soul Hunting Forest together. Tang San had learned that his father had left without a word, and his mood had sunk. He'd told Luo Mo, who'd then persuaded him to join the academy.
Tang San had been planning to go to a better middle school, but his father had insisted that he take the entrance examination for an advanced academy.
He felt very conflicted about his father.
On one hand, his father did know quite a bit and had taught him a lot. On the other, he could be unreasonable at times. Since childhood, Tang San had obeyed his father in everything.
Still, when it came to taking the entrance exam for an advanced academy, his father wouldn't budge, and Tang San couldn't refuse.
"Wherever you go, that's where I'll go," Luo Mo replied.
Luo Mo had always said he would go wherever Tang San went, and he truly didn't care which academy it was, as long as he could be with him.
Over the past six years, he'd done quite a lot...
The three great rules of the Spirit Hall had become so deeply ingrained that even the academy had been affected.
Nowadays, Luo Mo could be called the darling of the world.
At a glance, he could spot those who owed him a favor.
However, Luo Mo rarely used those favors. On one hand, he'd made friends and enemies alike among those people; on the other, his time was limited.
But he knew better than to waste the opportunity.
Over the years, Tian Dou had already taken care of most of the remaining Seven Devils. When the time came, he could summon them with a single call. Luo Mo didn't want to tie himself to the shackles of fate, so he'd chosen to keep his distance.
Besides, because he was a soul beast cultivator, he'd made a connection with the people of Soul Hunting Forest. They'd even invited him for a drink, and he was now on good terms with the Soul Hunting Forest's spirit master.
Old Jack had become an elder, too.
The only trouble was that he'd become even more stubborn, constantly picking fights with those old fellows who liked to criticize him.
Still, what Luo Mo liked most...
Was that the Demon Empress had destroyed the Clear Sky Sect.
It had happened about four years ago. The Demon Empress and the Clear Sky Sect's elders had gotten into a huge fight, and the entire sect had been almost wiped out. Its master, Tang Hao, was seriously injured, and two of its elders had died.
Some called it utterly brutal.
It wasn't that the Clear Sky Sect had been wiped out completely. After the Demon Empress left, the Spirit Hall sent people in to search, but the Clear Sky Sect's members had already fled and gone into hiding.
No one knew which remote mountain valley they were hiding in now.
When Luo Mo learned about this, he was so happy he almost drank an entire jug of ice-cold wine.
It was absolutely thrilling!
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Luo Mo sensed that someone had appeared in Snake's Home.
He sent his awareness through space, and saw a black-haired girl with a slender figure and a large chest. She had fair skin and a cold, graceful air.
The girl was crouched on the grass.
She warily studied her surroundings.
"Wow! This place is huge... Where did all these people come from?"
Luo Mo thought of Snake Girl.
Snake Girl had stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for three years. Now she had packed her bags and set off on a new journey. Before she left, the little princess had cried her eyes out, but she still hadn't managed to bring Snake Girl back to the sect.
She'd even tried to persuade Snake Girl to return once.
"Why did Snake Girl go to someone else's home to be a guest?" Luo Mo thought, glancing at the lively streets.
[Snake Girl had appeared in the forest, but she'd been so anxious to find Xiao Wu that she'd jumped right in front of her and invited her home. Xiao Wu had thought Snake Girl wanted to take her somewhere safe, so she agreed at once. The next moment, Snake Girl had sent her home...]
Luo Mo: "..."
What a character. Had Snake Girl really become a hero who saved the beauty?
And...
The moment Luo Mo thought of that figure, another person appeared in his mind.
"Is that you, Zhu Zhuqing?"
He hadn't expected Snake Girl to have stayed for three years without inviting anyone else over, yet Zhu Zhuqing had accepted the invitation almost immediately.
She must have been trying to save someone.
But after saving her, how had she ended up being invited to stay at Snake's Home?
In the end, one of them had become Snake Girl's guest, and the other had become her sister-in-law.
"Ha! You've got some nerve. Just wait until you run into the affectionate young master at the Rose Hotel."
Luo Mo's eyes lit up. He was already imagining a good show.
And that would require Zhu Zhuqing's help.
