Wang Dong Felt He Was Being Controlled

Without even glancing at Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong turned and walked away, and Huo Yuhao hurriedly followed behind him.

After they had walked for a distance, Huo Yuhao asked, "Um, can we cultivate together tonight?"

Wang Dong nodded, which served as his response.

Huo Yuhao hadn't expected Wang Dong to agree so easily.

Still, it was good that he had agreed; it would speed up his cultivation.

Although Wang Dong appeared calm on the surface, his heart was already in a tangled mess.

After school yesterday afternoon, he had left Shrek Academy and gone into the city.

He truly couldn't understand why he would have such thoughts about Huo Yuhao. He clearly looked down on him, so why did he want him to do well?

And just now, he had intended to reject Huo Yuhao outright, so why had he nodded and agreed?

There seemed to be something about Huo Yuhao that exerted a powerful attraction on him, making him unable to resist wanting to be close to him.

This feeling of being pulled back and forth made Wang Dong exceptionally uncomfortable. He wanted to leave Shrek Academy, but an invisible force controlled him, preventing him from leaving.

Huo Yuhao was completely unaware of everything Wang Dong was thinking.

When he ate with Wang Dong, Wang Dong didn't say a word. Even when Huo Yuhao took the initiative to talk to him, Wang Dong ignored him entirely.

It wasn't until they finished eating that Wang Dong finally spoke: "Let's go for a walk by the Sea God Lake."

After saying this, he walked off on his own. Huo Yuhao had no choice but to gulp down the egg in his hand and follow him.

Fortunately, Wang Dong wasn't walking fast. Huo Yuhao caught up and walked side-by-side with him, neither of them speaking along the way.

When they reached the shore of Sea God Lake, Wang Dong found a bench and sat down. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao sat down beside him.

Once seated, Huo Yuhao said, "Um, I'm going to sell grilled fish outside the academy after school this afternoon, I'll be back around eight."

Wang Dong was staring blankly at Sea God Lake, not listening to a word Huo Yuhao said.

Receiving no response, Huo Yuhao stopped trying to force a conversation. He looked at the lake as well, waiting for class time to arrive so he could head to the classroom.

Sea God Lake was beautiful, located in the center of Shrek Academy. He had heard students in his class say that the center of the lake was Sea God Island, which was where the Shrek inner courtyard was located.

Huo Yuhao saw a red dot appear in the middle of the lake and rapidly enlarge. As it drew closer, he realized it was a red figure flying quickly in their direction.

Initially, Huo Yuhao hadn't sensed anything amiss, but when the figure arrived not far from him, he felt a high temperature radiating from the person.

Wang Dong, standing to the side, also sensed the anomaly. He subconsciously wanted to leave, but once again, he was beyond his own control; he scooped up Huo Yuhao and spread his martial soul, flying backward rapidly.

A heatwave of soul power struck, knocking Wang Dong unconscious instantly. He lost consciousness, his mind filled with confusion before he blacked out.

Song Mu pushed the door open and walked into the dormitory, looking slightly weary. He had theory classes in the morning and training in the afternoon; he had just finished a full day of lessons and was preparing to take a good shower before heading to the Beast Fighting Zone.

The King Ball flew out on its own, a white light flashed, and Wang Dong'er appeared in the dormitory.

Seeing Wang Dong'er appear, Song Mu asked in confusion, "Why did you come out?"

Wang Dong'er replied, "You go take a shower first, I'll go buy you some food. That way you won't have to make another trip."

She added, "Don't overthink it, I just wanted to head to the Beast Fighting Zone early anyway."

Song Mu took out his Gold Soul Coin Card, handed it to Wang Dong'er, and said, "Alright, then thank you."

He didn't tell Wang Dong'er what he wanted to eat, because she already knew his preferences.

Taking the card, Wang Dong'er walked out the door.

As soon as she stepped out, Wang Dong'er felt a bit of regret. This floor was the boys' dormitory, and since it was currently between classes, there were many boys in the hallway.

The moment she emerged, she instantly attracted everyone's attention. The previously noisy corridor fell deathly silent.

Wang Dong'er placed her hand back on the doorknob, wanting to retreat into the room, but feeling that she had already promised Song Mu to bring him food, she feigned composure and walked toward the stairs.

The surrounding boys' gazes followed Wang Dong'er until she disappeared into the stairwell, at which point they finally looked away, and a flurry of discussion erupted instantly.

"No way? Seriously?"

"Can someone tell me what just happened?"

"Isn't it obvious? She came to find her boyfriend."

"Dating on the first day of school, a role model for us all!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the door to Song Mu's room; in their minds, this person had already become a legend.

The sound of water in the bathroom gradually ceased. Not long after, Song Mu opened the door and walked out, wiping his hair. Only a few minutes later, the door opened again, and Wang Dong'er walked in, carrying the packed meal.

Seeing Wang Dong'er enter, he let out a sigh of relief, and Song Mu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Wang Dong'er placed the food on the table and said, "Nothing much."

Without pressing further, Song Mu sat down and opened the food, surprised to find two portions.

Wang Dong'er sat down across from him, took out one of the portions, and began to eat.

She sensed something, looked up, and found Song Mu watching her with a subtle expression. Wang Dong'er asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Song Mu said, "It's nothing."

Song Mu withdrew his gaze and took out his portion.

He felt that Wang Dong'er had likely bought it simply because she wanted to eat it herself.

After finishing their meal and cleaning up, the two prepared to head to the Beast Fighting Zone.

Song Mu asked, "Do you need to go inside first, and then come back out once we reach the Beast Fighting Zone?"

While eating, he had figured out why Wang Dong'er had looked so relieved when she returned.

Wang Dong'er said, "It's fine, let's go."

She opened the door and walked out first. Fortunately, the hallway was empty at this hour. Song Mu put on his jacket and followed her.

However, a door opened behind them, and someone stepped out.

He was a student from Freshman Class Nine and naturally recognized Song Mu.

Seeing that familiar back, along with the young girl beside him, his pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock.

"Awesome! As expected of our class monitor, he easily accomplished something I couldn't."

The Beast Fighting Zone was a place for Shrek students to battle soul beasts. Naturally, it could accommodate multiple students fighting at the same time.

Therefore, in addition to the large Beast Fighting Arena used for students' advancement examinations, there were many smaller ones.

At this moment, Song Mu and Wang Dong'er were in one of these smaller arenas.

Song Mu sat on the edge of the arena, watching Wang Dong'er play with the Wind Tiger and the Blazing Lion.

Wang Dong'er reached out with her slender, elegant hand to stroke the Blazing Lion's fiery red fur. She looked at Song Mu and said happily, "It's really soft!"

Song Mu smiled and nodded.

Wang Dong'er turned her head, placed both hands on either side of the Blazing Lion's head, and said, "But why is your face so long? You're a bit ugly."

She abandoned the Blazing Lion and went over to the Wind Tiger, saying, "You're much better looking, hee hee. Come on, shake hands."
