The Vote

As the culprit behind the dormitory incident, Chu Mo had already arrived at the cafeteria for breakfast.

The little girl with green hair, who was currently queuing for breakfast, seemed to have a premonition; she turned her head the moment he walked in, and upon seeing him, she immediately beamed and waved happily.

"Brother Chu Mo, over here, over here!"

"Hm, up so early?"

Chu Mo walked up and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I just got here too. I was just curious to see, though I never expected it to end like that."

Speaking of this, a hint of melancholy appeared on Xiao Xiao's face.

She really hadn't expected that a fellow group member would have such a tragic story.

"Wang Dong, she was..."

Seeing her hesitant expression, Chu Mo knew exactly what she wanted to ask and nodded.

"That's right, she will disappear. Because the one controlling the cultivation technique is a god; whenever he wants to flip the table, he can do it anytime, anywhere. It's just that he still needs Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er to keep cultivating so he can devour them and become even stronger."

"Wow, I really never imagined that the legendary Sea God Tang San, a household name for ten thousand years, would have such schemes."

"Heh, that's human nature—it's inherently greedy. Who knows, there might be other schemes involving Wang Dong'er, such as forging bonds with people of great destiny."

Although he didn't know why Yuhao had become Yu'er, the overall situation remained unchanged; they were still in the same dormitory and had still become good friends.

This showed that the so-called grand plan was still in motion. For someone lacking love, a little bit of care was all it took to leave a deep impression on her heart.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao wasn't overly shocked, only curious.

"Oh, I've only ever heard the word 'destiny' in passing. I never thought I'd actually see it. People with great destiny—I thought only spirit beasts had destiny beasts."

"Do you think Tang San and the others count as people with great destiny? After all, they became gods under those circumstances."

"Heh, I suppose so."

Chu Mo shrugged and replied nonchalantly.

"Alright, enough talk. Let's discuss it in the group chat later. Let's eat first."

"Mm."

"By the way, Brother Chu Mo, where is Xiao Lv?"

After buying their breakfast, the two walked outside while holding their trays and found a seat. When things got quiet, Xiao Xiao turned to ask.

Thump.

Chu Mo nearly choked. He hurriedly gripped his lunch box, coughed twice, and only after regaining his composure did he explain.

"Um, Xiao Lv is sleeping."

Xiao Xiao placed her tray on the bench and took two pears out of the chat space; they were very large and looked incredibly juicy.

"Still not awake? I brought lots and lots of fruit, all prepared for Xiao Lv."

Her eager expression made it clear she wanted to keep cuddling Xiao Lv.

Chu Mo shook his head.

"Xiao Lv is sleeping. I'll let you know when it wakes up. Besides, we're sitting next to each other in class later anyway."

Xiao Lv actually quite liked Xiao Xiao, perhaps because of her green hair, and she always gave it fruit whenever she petted it.

"Alright then~"

She looked a bit disappointed, puffed out her cheeks, and ate her breakfast absentmindedly.

Class One classroom.

Breakfast time ended quickly. To avoid being expelled, they wolfed down their food and arrived at the classroom door with Xiao Xiao.

As soon as they walked in, they saw Wang Dong'er sitting at her desk.

Her eyes were still red, and she sat there blankly, seemingly lost in thought. She was currently wearing men's clothing, giving off the vibe of a somewhat melancholic heartthrob.

She truly was a heartbreaker for both girls and boys; quite a few of the guys were staring at her.

Compared to her, Huo Yu'er, sitting beside her, felt much less noticeable, lacking any real presence. Yet, she was still there showing concern, seemingly blaming herself for what had been said.

Wang Dong'er noticed Chu Mo approaching and hurriedly wiped her tears, not wanting him to see her vulnerable side.

Seeing this, Chu Mo nodded and walked toward them.

Wang Dong'er hadn't done anything wrong; why would Chu Mo mock her? Her fate had been controlled by others since birth. She was a chess piece—a piece that could be discarded or devoured at any moment—and that wasn't her fault.

"I..."

After walking closer and seeing her hesitation, Chu Mo kindly comforted her.

"Don't overthink it. I won't let you disappear."

The prideful Wang Dong'er wouldn't admit it; she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, rubbed her red-rimmed lids again, and lifted her chin.

"Hmph, I, I am not afraid!"

Chu Mo did not speak, sitting in the seat behind her, which was the same spot he had occupied yesterday.

Watching her lonely back, Chu Mo felt a pang of sympathy and opened the chat interface.

The group chat was very quiet right now; no one was talking, as everyone was either in class or digesting the shocking information they had just received.

[Private Chat] Chu Mo: With the existence of the Chat Group, even the Sea God cannot do much. As long as you replenish your soul and become a truly complete person, this Soul Splitting Technique will collapse on its own.

[Private Chat] Chu Mo: Even if he is truly determined to take it back, you can still cause him trouble. If I had the strength, I would help you too, so don't be too sad.

After hearing what Chu Mo said, Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up. Even if she couldn't truly handle it, causing them trouble was still an option. She certainly didn't want to die in such an unclear way, becoming a stepping stone for someone else.

[Private Chat] Dong'er is Not a Girl: Mn, even if it doesn't work, I will still find a way to trouble him. This young lady will absolutely not let them swallow me easily!

[Private Chat] Dong'er is Not a Girl: How should I go about replenishing my incomplete soul?

Seeing this, Chu Mo fell into hesitation. To complete a soul, one either needs medicinal herbs or evil techniques that involve devouring others. Given Wang Dong'er's temperament, the second option could be immediately ruled out, leaving only the use of treasures to strengthen and replenish it.

Something similar to the Love Acacia Heartbroken Red immortal herb.

[Private Chat] Chu Mo: Find true love and take down the Love Acacia Heartbroken Red first. Don't overthink it; with the existence of the Chat Group, the restrictions he placed on you have long since vanished. If he truly dares to make a move, the people in the God Realm will not let him off.

This statement was, of course, a lie; he only hoped that she wouldn't be too nervous or overly focused on it. He had only chosen to reveal the truth, not to put pressure on her.

[Private Chat] Dong'er is Not a Girl: ...

It wasn't just in the private chat; in reality, Wang Dong'er even glanced back, which was enough to show that she had been rendered speechless by that sentence.

Mn, Chu Mo was not intimidated by this expression; he simply returned a smile and stopped talking, turning his attention to setting up a poll in the Chat Group.

Today's results were excellent, and he could edit a few more videos to attract further attention and discussion.
