The God King Finally Made His Move

"Huo Yuhao!"

"Let go of me!"

On the lawn, Wang Dong was practically about to explode.

Both her hands were pinned behind her in front of her body by Huo Yuhao, while her back was almost pressed against him. Worse still, this was not a simple hold—any slight struggle only made the lock on her wrists tighter.

Most importantly—

There were people watching nearby.

Wang Dong had never felt so humiliated in her life.

Huo Yuhao was not in the least bit hurried. He lowered his head to glance at the girl struggling wildly in his arms and calmly asked, "Do you admit defeat?"

"Admit defeat my ass!"

Wang Dong gritted her teeth. The Light Goddess Butterfly behind her trembled faintly, and her soul power nearly burst forth on the spot.

But the next second, she forcibly held it back.

They had agreed not to use soul skills.

Though Huo Yuhao had set that stupid rule, she had agreed to it herself.

Wang Dong could lose.

But she could not lose without any dignity.

Huo Yuhao seemed to have noticed her dilemma and thoughtfully reminded her, "It's not like you can't use soul skills. I'll just shout on the spot that Wang Dong is cheating."

"Shut up!"

Wang Dong's little face turned red with anger.

Xiao Xiao stood some distance away, watching the two in that position as her expression grew increasingly strange.

She had only wanted to see what Ju Zi's sister thought was so special about him.

Now she had seen his skills, all right.

It was just that this scene was somewhat strange.

Huo Yuhao continued, "Are you admitting defeat or not?"

Wang Dong fell silent.

She bit down hard, her pink-blue eyes filled with embarrassment and fury.

If she could, she truly wanted to bite Huo Yuhao to death right now.

Unfortunately, she could not reach him.

After quite a while—

Wang Dong finally squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth.

"I lost."

"Too quiet. I can't hear you."

"Huo Yuhao!"

Wang Dong suddenly turned her head, her beautiful little face nearly pressing against his chin.

Huo Yuhao blinked.

"I'm here."

Wang Dong took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to twist this guy's head off.

"I lost. I concede."

"You should've said so earlier."

Only then did Huo Yuhao release her.

The moment Wang Dong got free, she immediately leaped several steps forward, turned around, and glared fiercely at him.

That look in her eyes was practically screaming that she wanted to devour Huo Yuhao alive.

Huo Yuhao dusted off his clothes, then reached out and patted Wang Dong on the shoulder, wearing an exceedingly magnanimous smile.

"Since you lost, you should do as I said."

Wang Dong froze.

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao turned and left.

"I'm going to tell the teacher. See you."

As soon as he finished speaking—

Huo Yuhao's figure had already vanished rapidly in the direction of the dormitory building.

He moved nothing like someone who had just finished a fight.

Wang Dong stood there, completely dumbfounded.

This bastard was really going?

Xiao Xiao hesitated before walking over and quietly asking, "You two are...?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Wang Dong shot her a glare, then stormed off toward the dormitory building.

Xiao Xiao stood there, stunned by that glare.

As she watched Wang Dong's retreating figure, that flushed little face full of humiliation and anger lingered in her mind.

She had to admit—

Wang Dong was truly very good-looking.

Her pink-blue short hair was neat and crisp, her skin impossibly fair, and her features so exquisite that not a single flaw could be found.

Especially when she was angry, her eyes shone astonishingly brightly. Though she looked fierce, she possessed an indescribable beauty.

Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment.

Could men be this beautiful too?

If Huo Yuhao had been here, he probably would have sighed.

Poor Xiao Xiao. She had nearly been instantly defeated by a girl pretending to be a boy.

That night.

Huo Yuhao sat on his bed in a gloomy mood.

Across from him, Wang Dong had her arms folded over her chest, her face brimming with smugness.

Looking at her pleased expression, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that if Wang Dong had a tail, it would probably be sticking straight up into the sky by now.

This was what had happened.

After defeating Wang Dong, he had indeed gone straight to the Academic Affairs Office.

The dean in charge of handling new student matters had immediately become serious after hearing the situation.

"Male and female students sharing a dormitory?"

"How can that be allowed!"

"Although Shrek Academy does not sweat the small stuff, basic discipline must still be maintained. This matter must be dealt with seriously."

Huo Yuhao had been quite pleased at the time.

He had even begun considering whether he would need to clean his new dormitory again.

However—

Not long afterward, the dean emerged from the small room inside, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat strange.

"Ahem."

"Student Huo Yuhao, the academy currently has no spare dormitories."

"So after careful consideration, you and Student Wang Dong can only continue living together for now."

Huo Yuhao: ...

Careful consideration?

Why did those words sound so perfunctory?

He had wanted to press the issue further.

But the dean directly stated that there was nothing wrong with Wang Dong's identity records and that the academy had already verified them.

As for the specific reason—

He could not say.

Huo Yuhao understood.

Connections.

More connections.

Douluo Continent truly was a world where background mattered.

Wang Dong clearly knew the outcome as well, which was why she had been acting smug ever since returning.

Huo Yuhao was unhappy.

She was happy.

"Well?"

Wang Dong lifted her chin and said in an irritating tone, "This young master told you already, didn't I? Living with me is your good fortune."

Huo Yuhao glanced at her.

"Aren't you supposed to be a young miss?"

The smile on Wang Dong's face stiffened.

"None of your business!"

Huo Yuhao sighed.

Forget it.

He would take things one step at a time.

Early the next morning.

Huo Yuhao had just finished washing up and was preparing to head to the classroom.

But the moment he stepped out of the dormitory, he noticed Wang Dong following him.

Huo Yuhao stopped.

"Why are you following me?"

Wang Dong looked completely justified.

"Right now, you're the only one in the entire academy who knows I'm a girl disguised as a boy. Of course I have to keep an eye on you so you don't go around telling people."

Huo Yuhao looked at her.

"Are you sure it's not because you're afraid you'll get lost on the way to the classroom alone?"

Wang Dong's expression froze.

"Who said I'd get lost?"

"Oh."

"Huo Yuhao, what do you mean by 'oh'?"

"Nothing."

Huo Yuhao continued walking.

Wang Dong immediately followed him, muttering something under her breath.

Seeing how she was obviously saying one thing while meaning another, stubborn to the end, Huo Yuhao suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

This girl certainly had a bad temper.

But her thoughts were not difficult to read.

Before long, the two arrived at the classroom for New Student Class One.

Quite a few people were already seated inside.

The moment Wang Dong entered, almost everyone's gaze landed on her.

The eyes of several girls in particular lit up instantly.

There was no helping it.

Wang Dong's face was simply too outrageous.

Even in a place like Shrek, where geniuses gathered in droves, she was the sort of person people would remember at first glance.

Huo Yuhao casually found a seat by the window and sat down.

Without even thinking about it, Wang Dong sat directly beside him.

"Aren't you supposed to be watching me?"

"Yeah."

Wang Dong said righteously, "How am I supposed to watch you if I sit far away?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"That makes sense."

Wang Dong snorted.

Soon, a delicate-looking girl walked over and looked at Wang Dong somewhat shyly.

"Classmate, what's your name?"

"Wang Dong."

"Are you in New Student Class One too?"

"Mm."

"Your hair color is so pretty. Is it natural?"

"Mm."

The girl: "..."

Sitting beside them, Huo Yuhao nearly burst out laughing.

This conversation was basically dead on arrival.

Wang Dong seemed to notice his expression and turned to glare at him.

Huo Yuhao immediately raised his head and looked toward the podium.

Just then.

The classroom entrance suddenly fell silent.

An elderly woman walked in.

She was not tall, with graying hair and plenty of wrinkles on her face, yet her eyes were exceptionally sharp.

The moment she stepped onto the podium, the entire classroom somehow grew quieter.

Huo Yuhao looked up.

There she was.

Zhou Yi.

The homeroom teacher of Freshman Class One, and also a notorious hardliner at Shrek Outer Court.

Zhou Yi swept her gaze across the class, her voice hoarse and cold.

"During the registration period, who got into a fight?"

The classroom instantly fell silent.
