Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: So Gratifying

Lin Ye didn't participate in the argument, slowly eating his steamed bun while glancing at the chattering crowd in the cafeteria.

Everyone is guessing who the murderer is, what the motive is, whether it's Evil Soul Master or a revenge killing.

No one would have imagined that the one who did it was a freshman lying in a hospital bed, struggling even to get up.

No one would have imagined that what drove this massacre was nothing more than the resentment and humiliation that the boy had accumulated over a decade.

He found it somewhat amusing.

Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, you seem so reserved and restrained, but deep down you're ruthless.

Previously, they lacked the ability and could only endure it. Now, with the support of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, they have tasted the joy of controlling the life and death of others, and this resentment is likely to become uncontrollable.

He's really petty; he took someone's life after just one beating.

With this kind of personality, in a place like Shrek, one will either soar to great heights or die quickly.

"What are you thinking about? You haven't said a word for ages."

Ning Tian nudged Lin Ye with his elbow.

"Nothing."

Lin Ye withdrew his gaze. "I just feel this matter won't end so easily. Two academy students were killed; the academy's higher-ups will definitely investigate thoroughly. There might be results in a couple of days."

"Go ahead and investigate, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

Ning Tian didn't care at all. "If they really find out who it is, who cares who it is, as long as they don't cause us trouble. Besides, those two deserved to die anyway. If someone really does justice, we might even secretly cheer."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Xiao nudged him. "Killing someone in a private fight is a major taboo in the academy. If it's discovered, the lightest punishment is expulsion, and they might even have to pay with their lives. It's the same even for Inner Court students; after all, the rules are there."

"Perhaps the Inner Court geniuses are different?"

Ning Tian raised an eyebrow. "If it's someone who can get into the Inner Court's seed team, maybe the Sea God Pavilion will make an exception for them."

"Rules are rules."

Wang Dong'er raised her eyes, her tone calm. "Shrek has been able to stand firm for so many years not because of special cases. If the rules are truly broken, no one can protect them."

Lin Ye smiled but didn't reply.

Rules are rules, but people are flexible.

If someone's talent is truly exceptional, even if it's discovered that he was the one who did it, the Sea God Pavilion will most likely suppress the matter.

At most, the punishment would be to stand facing the wall in self-reflection and have some credits deducted.

Geniuses always have privileges.

As they ate and chatted, the topic gradually shifted from the murder case to today's lesson.

Lin Ye ate quickly, and when he put down his chopsticks, the surrounding chatter hadn't stopped.

The versions of the story have become increasingly outrageous. Some say that a Titled Douluo- level Evil Soul Master has arrived, specifically to hunt down young Soul Master.

Some say that the two people offended the Holy Spirit Cult and were being targeted and punished.

Others say it's actually a disciplinary mission within the Inner Court, specifically designed to purge the bad apples from the academy.

Lin Ye leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the students coming and going at the cafeteria entrance, lost in thought.

Huo Yuhao is probably still pretending to be sick in his hospital room, right?

Listening to the uproar outside, pretending not to know anything, one might feel incredibly pleased inside.

This was probably Huo Yuhao's first time killing someone, which was not a good start. Once he started killing and tasted the pleasure that power brought, he would only become more and more unscrupulous in the future.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is the same; if we let him run wild, won't he lure out the elders of the Sea God Pavilion?

"What are you daydreaming about? Let's go after we finish eating."

Ning Tian patted Lin Ye on the shoulder.

Let's go.

Lin Ye stood up.

The group cleared away their plates and headed towards the Teaching Building.

Ning Tian kept mentioning that he wanted to go out of the city to check out the scene after class in the afternoon.

Xiao Xiao advised them not to join in the fun, saying that if they were questioned by the City Defense Squad as suspects, they would not only miss class, but also easily get a demerit.

Lin Ye walked at the back, listening to their bickering, but his thoughts drifted towards the infirmary.

He was a little curious about what Huo Yuhao would be like today.

Should I continue to pretend to be a weak and forbearing new student, or should I stop pretending and directly reveal that I was the one who killed the person?

It's probably the former; that kid's specialty is playing the victim and pretending to be weak to take advantage of others.

The group entered the classroom, and the bell rang shortly afterward.

At this moment, in the ward of the infirmary.

Huo Yuhao slowly sat up. The injury on his back had mostly healed, and it only ached slightly when he moved around.

It's very comfortable.

It was even more enjoyable than he had imagined.

All the grievances and resentments that had been building up in my heart since childhood seemed to dissipate with the deaths of those two people.

The voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm echoed in the Sea of Spirit, tinged with complexity. "Yuhao, in the future... don't be so impulsive. You were lucky this time you weren't discovered, but next time you might alert the Sea God Pavilion..."

"Won't there be a next time?"

Huo Yuhao interrupted him softly, his gaze fixed on the window, his tone indifferent yet tinged with coldness. "Brother Sky Dream, there are many more people who have bullied me."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fell silent.

After a long while, it let out a soft sigh.

"Whatever you want, I'll stay with you."

Huo Yuhao didn't speak, but a very faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you, Brother Sky Dream. But don't worry, I won't be as impulsive as I was today next time. It's just that after everything I've been through, my mindset has changed. If I hadn't let you kill those two people yesterday, I might have gone crazy."

Huo Yuhao seemed to be just as he said. Now that he had experienced the pleasure of killing those two guys last night, his mentality had returned to a peaceful state. He was also listening to advice and knew to apologize to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Actually, he was still very grateful to Brother Sky Dream. Thinking about the tone he had used towards Brother Sky Dream last night, Huo Yuhao felt ashamed.

Brother Sky Dream treated him so well, yet he treated Brother Sky Dream like that.

Before Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his Sea of Spirit could reply, Huo Yuhao continued, "I'm sorry, Brother Sky Dream. I was rude yesterday. I shouldn't have said those things to you. Please forgive me, Brother Sky Dream."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the Sea of Spirit was stunned for a moment, then felt a sense of déjà vu, like an old father watching his son grow up. He was now a spiritual being, not a physical body, otherwise he would definitely have shed tears.

"Yuhao, it's great that you think this way. I just investigated, and the academy's higher-ups have already found the bodies of those two people. Soon, someone will come here to test you, so you absolutely mustn't give yourself away."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still worried that Huo Yuhao would not be able to withstand the pressure and would directly expose his secrets or reveal some flaws.

He didn't believe that Shrek's top management were all good-for-nothings who just loafed around doing nothing.

The high-ranking officials who came down to investigate were definitely intelligent, capable, and cunning. As for Huo Yuhao, no matter how mature his mind was, he was still just a child.

For a shrewd and calculating senior academy official, manipulating a child is an incredibly easy task.

That's exactly what he's worried about. If he reveals any flaws, then it'll be all over.

At that time, not only Huo Yuhao, but even it will be in big trouble.
