After sensing the Spiritual Imprint that had appeared in his mind, Huo Yuhao knew that Tang San had finally made his move against him.
However, Huo Yuhao had not expected his Auspicious Power to actually erase Tang San's Divine Imprint. While clearing Tang San's imprint, Huo Yuhao could clearly sense Elder Yi secretly helping him.
That meant Elder Yi, having absorbed the Divine Sense Fragment, should have been able to appear before him in human form by now. But in order to remove Tang San's Spiritual Imprint, he had used the Divine Sense Fragment's power.
Huo Yuhao was deeply moved by Electx's actions, which made him even more certain that his decision to revive Elder Yi had been the right one.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong, who was in the dormitory, suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed, as if he had been reborn.
Moreover, he no longer felt the pressure of being controlled as before.
Previously, Wang Dong had asked his eldest father and second father about the feeling that someone was controlling his life, but their answer had been that he was overthinking things.
Yet their evasive gazes, along with the unprecedented ease and relaxation he now felt, made Wang Dong even more certain that he had been right. Someone had been controlling him before, making him follow that person's wishes.
And his eldest father and second father seemed to know that person.
One day, Wang Dong would uncover the identity of the person secretly controlling some of his thoughts. For example, Tang San preventing Wang Dong from coming into contact with soul tools.
Following Wang Dong's instructions, Huo Yuhao arrived at the place where Xue Ningbing and Xiao Xiao had agreed to meet.
The moment Huo Yuhao arrived at the meeting place, Xiao Xiao immediately rushed over and asked, "Huo Yuhao, do you know your roommate's name?"
Seeing Xiao Xiao's reaction, Huo Yuhao knew that she had fallen for Wang Dong again. No, why had he said "again"?
Come to think of it, Huo Yuhao seemed to remember that the little girl from the Sun Moon Imperial Team named Meng Hongchen had also liked Wang Dong for his looks. Huo Yuhao still vividly remembered her reaction when she learned Wang Dong was a girl.
As for Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao could not quite remember her reaction when she found out Wang Dong was a girl. Still, he vaguely recalled that Xiao Xiao should have fallen for He Caitou at that time.
"Wang Dong. What's the problem..." Before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, Xue Ningbing grabbed his ear and dragged him aside.
Xue Ningbing told Huo Yuhao that Xiao Xiao had fallen for Wang Dong.
"I didn't expect Xiao Xiao to be so obsessed with looks. She likes him without even knowing his name?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat speechless.
Xue Ningbing said, "I think that's perfectly normal. Aren't people all like that? They like appearances. Though a very small number care about the heart, there aren't many people like that."
"Can you really say you don't like pretty people?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "I want to argue, but you make a good point."
Xue Ningbing suddenly asked, "Also, why did you get up so late today?"
Huo Yuhao replied, "After returning to the dormitory yesterday, I went to Shrek City to buy a storage soul tool, a Soul Tool Bracelet. Then I returned to the dormitory and cultivated until very late. If Wang Dong hadn't come, I might not even be up yet."
Xue Ningbing did not doubt Huo Yuhao's words at all. "I see. Don't overdo it when you cultivate next time. You're already so strong, yet you still cultivate as if your life depends on it. How are the rest of us supposed to live?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Can't be helped. That's my talent. Them being weak is their own problem. Just because I'm talented, I can't cultivate?"
Having experienced that helplessness in his previous life, Huo Yuhao knew that without the Skydream Iceworm's arrival, he might never have had the path to godhood that followed. He might not even have entered the Inner Court. No, perhaps he would not even have passed the Freshman Assessment.
He would also have had no chance of earning the title of one of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
But now, he had the title of an auspicious beast and Auspicious Power. Why could he not cultivate?
Seeing that Huo Yuhao seemed a little angry, Xue Ningbing angrily responded to his attitude, "Yuhao, have you misunderstood what I mean? I never said you couldn't cultivate. I just told you not to cultivate until you lose track of time!"
"No matter what, your body is the most important thing!"
"All you're doing is making Snow Sister and me worry. You're always like this, only knowing how to cultivate. I'm doing this for your health!"
Hearing Xue Ningbing's words, Huo Yuhao wavered slightly. "Sorry, Bing'er. I made you worry. I won't keep cultivating nonstop next time. I'll manage my time properly."
Xue Ningbing had heard those words from Huo Yuhao more times than she could count.
It was obvious from Xue Ningbing's gaze that she did not believe him.
Xue Ningbing said, "No. You said the same thing last time, the time before that, and the time before that. This time, you have to give me a written guarantee!"
"I've more or less figured out what it should say. As for the punishment, I'll need to think about it some more. You have no right to refuse. I'm doing this for your health!"
"Fine, I'll listen to you. Just don't go too far, Bing'er." Huo Yuhao agreed immediately to the written guarantee Xue Ningbing proposed, since she truly was thinking about his health.
Just then, Xiao Xiao walked over, saw Xue Ningbing looking unhappy, and asked, "Ningbing, why are you suddenly angry?"
Xue Ningbing replied, "Of course it's because a big idiot made me unhappy. I care about his health, and he turns around and argues with me." As she spoke, she did not forget to glance at Huo Yuhao.
Noticing Xue Ningbing's subtle hint, Xiao Xiao understood.
Xiao Xiao said to Huo Yuhao, "Huo Yuhao, this is your fault. Ningbing is sincerely concerned about your health, and you still argued with her. When a boy realizes he has done something wrong, shouldn't he comfort the girl first? It's noon now, aren't you going to show her something?"
Unless Huo Yuhao was an utterly dense straight man, he could understand what she meant.
Put simply, she was telling him to take Xue Ningbing out for a meal and cheer her up.
"Bing'er, let's go." After thinking it through, Huo Yuhao wasted no words and directly took Xue Ningbing's snow-white hand, leading her away.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao smiled knowingly.
It seemed she could not tag along this time. After all, she needed to leave the two of them some private space.
After making up her mind, Xiao Xiao ultimately chose to return to her dormitory. Though she really wanted to go to Dorm 108 and ask Wang Dong out, she was currently the only one who knew Wang Dong's name. The two of them were not even friends yet, so Xiao Xiao decisively gave up on the idea.
