What Ye Hua Was Actually Afraid Of...

Ye Hua was fast asleep when he suddenly felt a chill creep up the back of his hand.

It felt like being licked by a wet, sticky, and cold tongue.

He slightly lifted his eyelids and saw thick, black smoke silently seeping in from outside the window.

It swirled around him, carrying a pungent, fishy smell.

Ye Hua's lips twitched, he turned over, too lazy to do anything more.

The powerful aura of the auspicious Auspicious Beast, like a startled whale, opened its mouth wide.

"Aww~~"

The distant whale cry echoed, and the black mist hissed and retreated, trembling with fear.

"Wait a minute." Ye Hua sat up and snapped his fingers.

Following the clues, the Auspicious Beast' good fortune led them directly to the culprit.

"So it was him," Ye Hua chuckled, "With this level of skill, he dared to cast a curse?"

He originally intended to casually shatter this lousy evil magic.

But then I thought about it again and suddenly became interested.

Why bother him in the middle of the night? Isn't it just to give him nightmares?

And aren't nightmares just amplified versions of what people fear?

"What am I afraid of?" Ye Hua asked with great interest, letting his Qi Yun exhale black energy.

The black energy almost dissipated, trembling wildly as if begging for mercy.

"Don't be afraid, be good~"

"Come!"

As Ye Hua waved, the black mist remained motionless.

Seeing that Ye Hua had withdrawn his power and lay down to sleep, the black energy suddenly became fierce.

It crashed directly into Ye Hua's body, joyfully pouncing on his forehead.

Ye Hua; he was practically cheating!

What's so scary about this world?

However, suddenly, everything went blurry.

"Huh?" Ye Hua was stunned.

Where is this...?

Narrow desks, bright sunlight, strangers sitting in alternating rows.

On the stage, the bespectacled middle-aged man cast a warning glance at him when he looked up.

"This is!!!"

Ye Hua looked at the blackboard and saw that it was written on it with white chalk—

Exam subject: Foreign language

Exam time: 15:00-17:00

Invigilator: Mandarin Duck Other Girl, all the good-looking anime characters are my harem

Take another look at the exam papers on the table--

[Listen to the following 5 dialogues. Each dialogue is followed by a question. Choose the best answer from the three options A, B, and C provided. You will have 10 seconds after each dialogue to answer the question and read the next question. Each recording will be played twice.]

Ye Hua:...

Great, so it's like going back to the National College Entrance Examination after forgetting everything?

I stared at the reading comprehension passage, reading the first paragraph three times, but I still only recognized "the" and "and".

The boy sitting to his left had started to do nothing.

The girl on the right is still writing furiously, writing a letter to Li Hua.

His mind was completely blank, like the gaping maw of an Abyss, ready to devour him!

Chinese-style education has won; even ten years later, the child will still remember those days vividly.

I flipped through it again, guessing randomly from the listening comprehension section and scribbling nonsense in the essay section.

If you read three long and one short passages, choose the shortest; if you read three short and one long passages, choose the longest; if the passages are of varying lengths, choose B; if you're undecided, choose C!

"Attention all candidates! Attention all candidates!"

"There are fifteen minutes left until the end of this exam."

Ye Hua was speechless.

Tang San, you won...

You're in for a bet; here's a year's worth of bad luck for you!

This year has been unlucky; don't blame me if you suffer a qi deviation during your cultivation.

"Alright, there are fifteen minutes left in this exam. Please check your admission ticket numbers."

"That candidate who was looking around should just do their own thing."

[All the good-looking anime characters are my harem] said.

Ye Hua quickly lowered his head, his lips twitching. "It really was a nightmare."

"System Bro, come out and help me answer the questions."

[?????]

Don't pretend, I don't believe you don't have an English speaking system.

Sorry, I don't know either.

Wow, I die give you see!

System Bro backed down.

Here is the standard answer.

Ye Hua unleashed his Soul Power, frantically rewriting the text.

The proctors were stunned.

finally--

Ring ring!

A perfect score is guaranteed!

Ye Hua yawned, just about to force himself to wake up.

The black aura of Misfortune Curse was still surging.

It wasn't satisfied with just letting Ye Hua finish his nightmare and then it was over!

They actually want to play the reincarnation nesting game!

Let him retake the exam repeatedly in this examination hall!

"You think you're so great?" Ye Hua sneered.

Grab it in one swift motion, and refine it instantly!

Golden light burst forth from the depths of the dream, like the rising sun.

In an instant, the entire exam room, along with that damned English exam paper, was burned to ashes!

The black mist didn't even have time to scream before it was crushed into nothingness.

Tang San was also caught in the backlash!

He was sitting cross-legged on the tree root, his eyes closed, muttering incantations.

In the instant his fortune rebounded, he suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking sharply!

It felt like being hit hard on the back with a club!

"Puff!!!"

Blood gushed out!

They sprayed the enemy Tai Tan's face with it!

Tai Tan was stunned by his outburst, standing there dumbfounded, like an old dog that had been doused with cold water.

He instinctively wiped his face, his palm smeared with crimson blood. "Sect Master! Sect Master, how are you?!"

Tang San clutched his chest, "It's nothing, it's just that bastard Ye Hua..."

"There might be some backlash... but it's alright, I can handle it!"

Tai Tan saw Tang San's face contort and put his hand to his forehead.

You call this "being able to withstand"?

But since he was their own sect leader, they quickly stepped forward to help him up.

Tang San had just stood up, and before he could even brush the dirt off his backside...

A horse-drawn cart loaded with swill rushed past the alley entrance and ran over a puddle.

Whoosh!!!

Mud mixed with rotten vegetable leaves splashed all over Tang San!

Get soaked to the bone from head to toe!

He even stuffed half a yellowed cabbage leaf into his mouth!

Tang San froze on the spot.

Tai Tan cursed at the carriage, "Are you blind?! Are you in such a hurry to be reborn?!"

Tang San gritted his teeth, wiped his face haphazardly with his sleeve, and said, "It's alright, help me to the inn first, I'll be fine after washing up."

Tai Tan lifted him up, and the two of them swayed as they moved toward the hotel at the street corner.

We had only gone halfway when, from the depths of the alley, a rabid dog, half our height, suddenly leaped out!

Its entire body was covered in sores, its eyes were bloodshot, and sticky drool was dripping from the corners of its mouth!

It lunged at Tang San's trouser leg and took a big bite!

"Aaaaaah!" Tang San jumped up from the ground in pain!

Like a toad being electrocuted, he frantically swung his legs, yelling, "Get out! Get away! Ah--!!!"

The mad dog bit and wouldn't let go, so he flung it into the air, swinging back and forth.

Tai Tan, in a flurry of activity, picked up a rock and threw it at the mad dog, who then released its grip and whimpered as it ran away, clutching half a trouser leg in its mouth.

Tang San looked down and saw two rows of bloody holes on his calves. His pants were torn from the knees to his ankles, and a cold wind was blowing in.

He was on the verge of tears, "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud explosion rang out overhead!

Lightning struck without warning from the clear sky!

Right next to the two of them!

The exploding electricity crackled and surged upwards, instantly numbing Tang San and Tai Tan, causing them to collapse, their hair standing on end and their limbs twitching!

The two men were huddled together, their bodies covered in black soot, black smoke billowing from their mouths, looking like two pieces of charcoal just pulled from a stove.

After a long while, Tai Tan struggled to turn over and vomited out half a mouthful of black ash.

"Sect Master, isn't your luck a bit strange?"

Tang San lay on his back, tears welling in his eyes, "How should I know!"

"No, it must be Ye Hua's doing again! It definitely is!"

Tai Tan didn't reply, but silently pulled Tang San up.

The two men helped each other to the hotel entrance, but Tai Tan stopped in his tracks.

"Elder Tai Tan?" Tang San asked, puzzled.

Tai Tan's expression changed drastically, and he frantically searched his body!

Seeing that he couldn't find anything, he reached out his hand directly to Tang San!

Up, down, up, down; left, right, left, right!

"Elder Tai Tan, you... you mustn't do this!"

"I'm scared..."
