"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Why are you dragging me?"
Huo Yuhao shook off Wang Dong's hand. "She likes me, so what do you mean by helping me reject her?"
Wang Dong said seriously, "We're still young. We should focus on our studies!"
"You really have an unhealthy mind!"
Huo Yuhao laughed. "Don't tell me you're jealous?"
Wang Dong's little face flushed red, and she stammered, "No... no... I'm not!"
"Let's go! I want grilled fish!"
"Then call me something first."
"Da... Daddy..."
"Too quiet. I can't hear you!"
"Daddy!"
"..."
God Realm
Heaven-Peering Hall
Harpoon God King Tang San stared blankly at the scene inside the Skywatch Orb, his eyes vacant as he fell into an emo state.
"Unfilial daughter! How could you acknowledge a thief as your father over a grilled fish?!"
"You're going to anger me to death!"
"And you, Huo Yuhao!! How dare you make my adorable daughter call you Daddy!"
"You already have the way of death... No, you already have a death wish!"
"Huo Yuhao! You're a damn songstress, aren't you?!"
"When you come to the God Realm, you definitely won't get any good fruit to eat!"
Outside Shrek Academy
A long line stood before Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall.
The first person in line was the bandaged man—no, Xu Sanshi.
He had removed those bandages a month ago.
Xu Sanshi did not dare look directly at Huo Yuhao. In a somewhat subdued voice, he said, "Um... Yuhao, give me two grilled fish?"
"Here!" Huo Yuhao raised his hand and handed him the fish.
Xu Sanshi instinctively took a defensive stance. "Don't hit me... That old problem acted up again. Here's the money."
With that, Xu Sanshi tossed out two Gold Soul Coins and turned to leave.
"Damn it! What illness do I even have? Why do I get scared whenever I see Huo Yuhao?"
Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth.
Huo Yuhao smiled.
He had not expected that duel to have actually beaten Xu Sanshi into amnesia.
It had even left him with psychological trauma.
But Huo Yuhao had not even landed that attack. Was that really necessary?
"Little Xu."
An extraordinarily seductive voice rang out.
Xu Sanshi immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Wow! Look!!"
"Ooh—"
The crowd parted to make way.
A woman in red slowly approached.
She was tall and well-proportioned, with a black veil over her face that concealed her appearance.
Her pale pink eyes easily gave people the feeling that their souls might be ensnared.
Fortunately, her gaze was cold, slightly suppressing the soul-eroding allure in her eyes.
That was Huo Yuhao's assessment.
That indifferent yet seductive gaze, those long one-meter-eight legs, a lace bra, lace panties, and gradient red stockings.
With so many buffs stacked together, her mature-sister aura was completely maxed out.
And that 36D... extra points.
"Wow! What an imposing senior!"
"Don't you know? She's from the Inner Court..."
"It's Ma Xiaotao!!"
"Wow..."
"So beautiful!"
Xu Sanshi called out tremblingly, "Sister Xiaotao..."
Wang Dong leaned close to Huo Yuhao and said, "Look how scared Xu Sanshi is. He's even more frightened than when he sees you."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. "True."
Ma Xiaotao glanced at Huo Yuhao. "Little Xu, are you here for grilled fish?"
Xu Sanshi hurriedly agreed, "Yeah! Yuhao's grilled fish is super delicious."
"Is that so? Give me one to try too."
The corners of Ma Xiaotao's lips lifted slightly.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the line stretching like a dragon.
"I only sell fifty fish a day. The spots are clearly full already, so come early tomorrow."
Everyone in line froze for a moment, then all ran away.
Only an empty road remained.
"Looks like no one is waiting in line anymore." Ma Xiaotao's tone was calm. "Can I have some now?"
Xu Sanshi hurried forward. "Huo Yuhao... you should grill some fish for Sister Xiaotao."
The moment he faced Huo Yuhao, Xu Sanshi's voice instantly dropped.
Like a mouse seeing a cat.
Huo Yuhao did not answer, merely turning the grilled fish with an indifferent expression.
Wang Dong was displeased and stood up. "Hey! Why are you disrupting our business? Who are you?"
"I'll buy all of today's grilled fish."
As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao took out a bag of Gold Soul Coins.
Wang Dong accepted the coins and counted them. "One hundred Gold Soul Coins?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled. "That much isn't necessary. One Gold Soul Coin per fish."
"Keep the rest with you for now."
"Fine."
As Huo Yuhao spoke, he handed the grilled fish to Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao took the grilled fish. Her veil lifted slightly as she took a small bite.
The fish meat and bones vanished in an instant, and not a trace of oil stained her red lips.
"The heat was controlled exceptionally well, and you were very attentive."
"Let me see your martial soul."
Ma Xiaotao said it without the slightest courtesy.
Huo Yuhao directly refused. "Miss Ma, isn't that a little excessive?"
Wang Dong asked in confusion, "You know each other?"
Huo Yuhao smiled calmly. "Of course we do. And you know her too."
Wang Dong was puzzled. "I know her too... Could she be..."
"She's that lunatic..."
Xu Sanshi hurried forward and made a shushing gesture. "Some things shouldn't be said carelessly."
Ma Xiaotao gave Huo Yuhao a deep look. "If you don't want to show me, forget it."
With that, she turned and left.
Xu Sanshi was somewhat puzzled. Didn't Sister Xiaotao come looking for me to suppress her evil fire? Why did she suddenly leave?
Forget it. It's better if she doesn't come looking for me. At least I won't have to suffer.
Night
The night curtain hung low as cicadas and frogs played the night's song.
Inside the dormitory
Wang Dong was still secretly competing in effort, while Huo Yuhao had long since fallen asleep.
Whoosh!
The window flew open, and a red figure flashed past.
Wang Dong opened her eyes. Huo Yuhao was gone, leaving only a blanket that still retained his warmth.
And a strand of red hair.
"Damn, has Ma Xiaotao gotten this brazen? She came straight into the dormitory to snatch someone!"
"No, I need to go find Teacher Zhou. I can't let Huo Yuhao be in danger."
Teachers' Dormitory
Zhou Yi crossed her arms. "Wang Dong, why are you being so reckless?"
"Teacher Zhou! Huo Yuhao was forcibly taken away by Ma Xiaotao!"
Wang Dong said anxiously.
"Ma Xiaotao won't act recklessly. You don't need to worry."
"Hurry back and sleep."
After saying that, Zhou Yi turned and entered her dormitory, closing the door behind her.
Wang Dong shouted, "Teacher Zhou, Ma Xiaotao is that person from last time..."
"Shut up!"
"Go back first. I guarantee Huo Yuhao will be fine."
Zhou Yi's voice came from behind the dormitory door.
Even with her teacher's reassurance, Wang Dong was still worried.
In the middle of the night, she took Huo Yuhao away. What does she want him to do with her?
Wang Dong returned to the dormitory and kept tossing and turning in bed.
"I can't sleep!!"
"Damn it!"
"Why isn't he back yet? Is Yuhao really going to stay the night with her?"
"..."
Sea God Lake
Lakeheart Island
Inside a luxurious room filled with red decorations.
Ma Xiaotao held Huo Yuhao in her arms, her eyes unfocused as her breath came out fragrant and warm.
"Give it to me! Hurry and give it to me!"
Huo Yuhao felt Ma Xiaotao's scorching skin and her maiden-like fragrance drilling into his nose.
