Golden Trio

As for Luo Yihe? That pretty girl scared him so badly that he took Xiao Chenghe and fled overnight.

Though reluctant, Luo Yihe was truly afraid Hu Liena would pounce on him. By then, he might not have been willing to run anymore.

"Kid, why are you here? Where did you run off to back then? I've been looking 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, squeezed Zhu Zhuqing away from Luo Yihe's side, grabbed Luo Yihe's arm, and even tried to take his hand.

Zhu Zhuqing: "..."

The Shrek group watched with aching teeth. This brat had such amazing luck with women? Even 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 had not even treated her like a person and had simply snatched him away.

Zhu Zhuqing was not one to suffer in silence. She immediately stepped in, forcibly separated the two, and shoved Hu Liena away.

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

"Ah~"

Hu Liena cried out in pain.

Upon hearing Hu Liena's pained cry, before Luo Yihe could react, the handsome Xie Yue and Yan, who looked like some kind of edgy delinquent, suddenly appeared from the other side of the forest.

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 used Martial Soul Possession, and their soul rings appeared. 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 got acquainted, Hu Liena did not hesitate to tell Luo Yihe every detail about coming to Star Dou Forest for Spirit Hall's trial mission. Before Yan and Xie Yue could stop her, Hu Liena had already told him everything.

She even deliberately or unintentionally mocked Zhu Zhuqing, saying that a girl should know how to be gentle, that Zhu Zhuqing had hit too hard and injured her, and that she needed Luo Yihe to stroke her before she could recover.

Then she looked at Luo Yihe with an obedient expression, as though asking for praise. Luo Yihe subconsciously wanted to pat Hu Liena on the shoulder.

Suddenly, he felt a chill. 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, go complete it. We've already finished our mission in Star Dou Forest 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! Home? I'm afraid you won't be leaving."

Luo Yihe's group and the Shrek group were both bewildered.

Xie Yue explained, "This area has already been surrounded by Spirit Hall. Thirty-five students from our Spirit Hall Academy are taking part in this trial. Not only does hunting soul beasts count, but capturing soul masters from other academies and even killing evil soul masters count toward our results. There are also three Titled Elder outside maintaining order. If the Soul Saint teacher behind you dares to interfere, a Titled Douluo will arrive within five minutes."

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

The Shrek group rolled their eyes.

Xie Yue said indifferently, "I'm only making things clear to this Soul Saint senior. As long as your students' lives are not in danger, you cannot interfere. It would be bad if someone made a fool of themselves 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, wrapped herself around his arm, and said with a grin, "Kid, didn't you say last time that you'd tell me the next line of that poem when we met again? I thought I'd find out the next day. I didn't expect to wait this long for the next line."

{Ding, negative emotions from Zhu Zhuqing +766}

Luo Yihe scratched his head awkwardly. "Sorry, you scared me with your enthusiasm back then. I thought you were going to sell me and harvest my kidneys."

Hu Liena asked, "What does harvesting kidneys 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...}

Luo Yihe and Hu Liena somehow ended up standing together again. Zhu Zhuqing lagged behind, watching Hu Liena cling to Luo Yihe without restraint, grinding her teeth in anger.

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

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

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

Yan's face was flushed bright red, his eyes wide and slightly unfocused. He was holding on purely through sheer willpower, breathing heavily.

Xie Yue secretly looked at Hu Liena again. She was blushing shyly as she held 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 entire time.

Fuck! Since when did my sister become this impressive? She could even split her attention in two just to seduce a man?

This trial was led by three Titled Douluo, twelve Soul Douluo, and thirty-one Soul Saints from Spirit Hall. They had surrounded a small section of Star Dou Forest's outer region. A team of thirty-five Soul Ancestors under the age of twenty from Spirit Hall Academy would hunt soul beasts in this area, capture students from other academies, and hunt ten Soul Ancestor evil soul masters that Spirit Hall had released into the area.

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

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

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

The Shrek group immediately put distance between themselves and Huo Yuhao.

Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe watched as though enjoying a show.

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 laughing, Zhu Zhuqing once again shoved Hu Liena away, then even patted the shoulder Hu Liena had just leaned against.
