Golden Trio

As for Luo Yihe? That beautiful girl scared him so badly that he took Xiao Chenghe and ran away overnight.

Though reluctant, Luo Yihe was afraid Hu Liena might pounce on him. By then, he might truly not have had the heart to run.

"Kid, why are you here? Where did you run off to back then? I looked for you for so long. Didn't you say you liked long hair? I've been growing mine out. Feel it."

Hu Liena rushed over, directly squeezing Zhu Zhuqing away from Luo Yihe's side. She grabbed Luo Yihe's arm and tried to take his hand.

Zhu Zhuqing: "..."

The Shrek group watched with aching teeth. This brat had such incredible luck with women? Such a beautiful girl was throwing herself into his arms?

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai felt even worse. Watching such a stunning beauty cling to Luo Yihe was more painful than killing them.

As for Zhu Zhuqing! Hu Liena had openly provoked her. No, this could no longer be called provocation. Hu Liena did not even treat her like a person and simply stole him away.

Zhu Zhuqing was not one to suffer in silence. She immediately stepped in, forcibly separating them and pushing Hu Liena away.

But whether Zhu Zhuqing had become too strong or something, Hu Liena was actually pushed to the ground.

"Ah~"

Hu Liena cried out in pain.

Hearing Hu Liena's pained cry, before Luo Yihe could react, Xie Yue, a handsome man, and Yan, who looked like some kind of delinquent, suddenly appeared from the other side of the woods.

Seeing Hu Liena on the ground with a group of people around her, Xie Yue and Yan thought she had been bullied.

Xie Yue and Yan activated their Martial Soul Possession, their Soul Rings appearing. Hu Liena hurriedly explained and briefly introduced both sides.

Of course, Hu Liena only introduced Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe. She directly ignored everyone else.

After the two sides became briefly acquainted, Hu Liena unhesitatingly told Luo Yihe every detail about coming to Star Dou Forest for Spirit Hall's trial mission. Xie Yue and Yan did not even have time to stop her before she had said it all.

She also intentionally or unintentionally mocked Zhu Zhuqing, saying that a girl should know how to be gentle. Zhu Zhuqing had been far too rough and had hurt her by pushing her, so only Luo Yihe's touch could make her feel better.

Then she looked at Luo Yihe with an obedient expression that practically begged for praise. Luo Yihe subconsciously wanted to pat Hu Liena on the shoulder.

Suddenly, he felt a chill sweep over him. Cold... Turning around, he saw that Zhu Zhuqing was practically a human refrigerator. The leaves and grass around her were nearly frosting over.

Luo Yihe awkwardly withdrew his hand. "Ahem! Well, since you have a mission, you should go finish it. We've already completed our Star Dou Forest mission and were just about to head home!"

Seeing that Luo Yihe had not gotten handsy and had no intention of staying, Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt much better.

Yan sneered. "Hmph! Go home? I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

Luo Yihe's group and the Shrek group were both utterly confused!

Xie Yue explained, "This entire area has already been surrounded by Spirit Hall. Thirty-five students from our Spirit Hall Academy are participating in this trial. Besides hunting soul beasts, capturing soul masters from other academies and even killing evil soul masters all count toward our results. There are also three Title Douluo elders stationed outside to maintain order. If the Soul Sage teacher behind you dares to intervene, a Title Douluo will arrive within five minutes."

Zhao Wuji waved a hand and said sternly, "What are you talking about? Would Old Zhao here bully juniors? I've been upright and honorable for years. I've never laid a hand on a junior."

The Shrek group rolled their eyes.

Xie Yue said indifferently, "I'm merely making things clear to this Soul Sage senior. As long as your students' lives are not in danger, you cannot intervene. It would be embarrassing if a scene broke out later."

Luo Yihe looked at Hu Liena. "Um, Nana, there are evil soul masters here too?"

{Ding, negative emotions from Zhu Zhuqing +698}

Hu Liena walked beside Luo Yihe, wrapping herself around his arm as she said with a grin, "Kid, didn't you say last time that when we met again, you'd tell me the next line of that poem? I thought I'd know it the next day, but I ended up waiting so long for that next line."

{Ding, negative emotions from Zhu Zhuqing +766}

Luo Yihe scratched his head awkwardly. "Sorry, I was scared by your enthusiasm back then. I thought you were going to sell me off to have my kidneys harvested."

Hu Liena asked, "What does having your kidneys harvested mean?"

"Your future happy life."

"Really? Then can you show me?"

"Not now."

"I just want to see!"

"No!"

{Ding, negative emotions from Xie Yue +555}

{Ding, negative emotions from Zhu Zhuqing +856}

{Ding ding ding...}

For some inexplicable reason, Luo Yihe and Hu Liena ended up standing together again. Zhu Zhuqing lagged behind, grinding her teeth as she watched Hu Liena cling to Luo Yihe without restraint.

What angered her even more was that Luo Yihe did not refuse. He was even chatting with Hu Liena quite happily.

Xie Yue felt the same way. Watching his little sister cling to a man without restraint, the more he looked at Luo Yihe, the more displeased he became. Then he glanced at Yan beside him. "Damn!"

Xie Yue could not help swearing. "Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Yan's entire face was flushed red, his eyes wide and somewhat unfocused. He was only enduring through sheer willpower, breathing rapidly.

Xie Yue secretly looked at Hu Liena again. She was bashfully holding Luo Yihe's arm, chatting and laughing with him.

Then he looked behind her. Sure enough, an illusory fox tail had appeared behind Hu Liena. She had been mentally controlling Yan the whole time.

Damn! Since when did my sister become this incredible? She could even multitask just to flirt with a man?

This trial was led by three Title Douluo, twelve Soul Douluo, and thirty-one Soul Sages from Spirit Hall. They had surrounded a small section of Star Dou Forest's outer region, where the thirty-five Soul Ancestors from Spirit Hall Academy, all under twenty years old, would hunt soul beasts, capture students from other academies, and fight ten Soul Ancestor evil soul masters placed there by Spirit Hall.

A hundred-year soul beast was worth one point, a thousand-year soul beast three points, capturing a student from another academy alive five points, and killing an evil soul master ten points.

Hu Liena explained the trial mission to Luo Yihe. The Shrek group, along with Luo Yihe's group, listened attentively.

Huo Yuhao said, "Your Spirit Hall is going too far! You surrounded this entire area, not only slaughtering soul beasts at will but even capturing evil soul masters for Spirit Hall Academy to kill. Spirit Hall truly is an evil organization."

The Shrek group immediately moved away from Huo Yuhao in unison.

Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe watched with expressions of eager amusement.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena's expressions visibly darkened.

"Hahaha!"

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly laughed. Even when she met Hu Liena's unfriendly gaze, she showed no fear.

Still smiling, Zhu Zhuqing shoved Hu Liena away again, then even patted the shoulder Hu Liena had just been leaning against.
