Tang Ya's Embarrassment

"Ah, a friend invited me over to take a look."

"She had something come up at the last minute, so I wandered around by myself."

"I was originally planning to find Nannan, but I happened to run into this mess of yours."

Bai Luo came back to his senses and casually explained.

His expression was somewhat strange.

Because he had just sensed feedback coming from Wang Dong.

Though it was not much, it was feedback from one of the original story's heroines.

It was already far greater than what he received from those background characters.

Bai Luo simply had not expected it.

He had neither helped Wang Dong recover from an illness nor helped her fulfill a wish. He had merely beaten her up, yet he had still received feedback.

Could princess syndrome really count as an illness?

Bai Luo shook his head, temporarily tossing that strange thought aside.

Then, he turned an equally strange gaze toward Huo Yuhao.

"What about you? Why did you come here?"

Bai Luo's gaze was profound, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

It also carried a peculiar sense of penetration.

As though every secret in one's body had been laid bare before his eyes.

Within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Skydream Iceworm's bloated body shuddered.

"Yuhao, do you know this guy?"

"Where did he come from?"

"I keep feeling like he's hiding some incredible secret!"

Skydream Iceworm had great confidence in his intuition.

Though he had slept his way to a million years of cultivation.

He was still genuinely a million-year soul beast!

He was certain that Bai Luo was hiding some extraordinary secret!

And that gaze of his...

It seemed as if Bai Luo had seen through his existence!

That had to be an illusion, right?!

That was what Skydream Iceworm thought.

He was hidden within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

As long as he did not reveal himself, not even an Ultimate Douluo could discover his existence.

This kid might be a monster, but he was still only a Soul Emperor.

How could he possibly discover him?

"Brother Bai is my benefactor. Isn't it normal for him to have secrets?"

Huo Yuhao did not take Skydream Iceworm's words seriously at all.

Given his fanatical admiration for Bai Luo.

Wasn't it perfectly normal for Bai Luo to possess some incredible secrets?

That was what befitted Brother Bai's status!

If Skydream Iceworm had hands, he would have slapped one against his own head by now.

Feeling Huo Yuhao's nearly fanatical worship, he was somewhat helpless.

Was that really necessary?

They were the same age. Did he really have to admire him this much?

It made him seem like some lackey.

Fortunately, Skydream Iceworm only thought those words and did not say them aloud.

Otherwise, Huo Yuhao would definitely have fallen out with him!

After all, in his heart, aside from his mother Huo Yun'er, no one could compare to Bai Luo.

Be a lackey?

Sorry, the reason Huo Yuhao was so obsessed with becoming stronger was so that he could become Brother Bai's number one lackey!

Huo Yuhao ignored Skydream Iceworm.

Instead, he somewhat bashfully scratched the back of his head and answered:

"Because I want to become stronger, so that I'll be qualified to help you in the future, Brother Bai..."

The expression on Huo Yuhao's still-childish face was sincere.

It left Bai Luo somewhat helpless.

Back then, he had merely wanted to harvest some fate feedback from the original story's protagonist.

He had not expected to gain a fanatical lackey.

Still, this brought him no harm.

So Bai Luo did not care too much.

He nodded slightly.

"If you run into any trouble later, remember to come find me."

Huo Yuhao was his lackey now, after all.

If Huo Yuhao grew stronger, Bai Luo would benefit as well.

And he could harvest even more feedback.

Naturally, Bai Luo was happy to casually help him deal with a few minor problems.

"Mm!"

Huo Yuhao nodded heavily.

The gratitude in his eyes grew even stronger.

Brother Bai was still so gentle!

To repay the favor you have shown me, I would gladly carry my sword and die for you!

Nothing could have described Huo Yuhao's current state of mind more fittingly.

"Brother Bai..."

"I'm going to sell some grilled fish at the academy gate later. Would you like to come have some too?"

Huo Yuhao looked at him expectantly.

"Sure. Nannan and I will come by later."

Bai Luo nodded.

He had tried Huo Yuhao's grilled fish before.

Its reputation was well deserved.

Hearing that, Huo Yuhao was delighted. Filled with motivation, he secretly resolved that today, he would grill the best fish for Brother Bai with the utmost care!

With a wave of his hand.

Bai Luo strode away.

"This should be the place, right?"

Bai Luo stood beneath the girls' dormitory building of the outer court and muttered to himself.

His handsome appearance immediately drew the attention of many passing girls.

He was like a beautiful sight to behold.

Bai Luo remembered Jiang Nannan telling him that her dormitory should be in this building.

But it was a girls' dormitory, so boys naturally did not dare to go upstairs rashly.

Thus, Bai Luo casually stopped a girl who appeared to be heading back to the dormitory.

The girl had delicate features.

She was quite pretty as well.

She had also noticed Bai Luo beneath the dormitory building.

When she saw him walking toward her, her heart suddenly began pounding wildly.

Damn it, what's happening?

I clearly have a boyfriend!

The girl silently condemned her own reaction.

By then, Bai Luo had already arrived before her.

Wearing a gentle smile, he said:

"Hello, classmate."

"Hello..."

At close range, the impact of his looks was even stronger.

A flush bloomed across the girl's fair cheeks.

It really was not her fault!

This was purely a physiological reaction!

She had never seen a boy of this caliber before!

Was he some kind of succubus?

Tang Ya, get a grip!

You have a boyfriend!

Calm down, calm down!

Just as Tang Ya finally managed to suppress her physiological reaction and was about to refuse this human-shaped succubus's "advance"...

"Sorry, I already have..."

"Could you help me find Jiang Nannan?"

"Eh?!"

It was not the advance she had expected. Tang Ya froze at once, her eyes turning into spirals.

Not an advance?

He was here to find Nannan?

Realizing that she seemed to have made a huge blunder due to being overly confident, white steam immediately rose from Tang Ya's head.

She lowered her head and stared at the ground.

She wanted nothing more than to find a hole and crawl into it.

Oh wow, this ground sure is... ground!

"Classmate, what did you just say?"

Bai Luo asked in confusion.

Already had what?

He did not understand.

"Nothing, nothing."

Tang Ya was embarrassed beyond words.

She could not possibly say that she had thought he was approaching her and had finally worked up the resolve to reject him, could she?

That would be far too humiliating!

It would make her look blindly overconfident.

Tang Ya hurriedly changed the subject, unwilling to say more about it.

"You know Nannan?"

She was somewhat surprised.

Nannan knew such an exceptional boy?

No wonder she usually showed no interest in any of the boys at the academy.

So it was because her standards had already been raised by someone this exceptional!
