It was hard for him not to notice her.

However, what on earth was that eager, champing-at-the-bit expression on her face?

Xiang Jun frowned deeply, feeling vaguely that Tang Wutong was somewhat abnormal.

Yet this was barely within expectations; as the sole native-born child of this era in the Divine Realm, Tang Wutong had enjoyed the pampering of most deities since childhood. Coupled with the fact that she had hardly ever conversed normally with peers over the past dozen years, it made sense that she had grown a bit skewed.

At least in this lifetime, his soul had not been torn in half by her pure and flawless old father.

At this thought, a trace of pity involuntarily flashed in the depths of Xiang Jun's eyes.

Well, what a pathetic little troublemaker.

At that moment, Tang Wutong also noticed the bizarre expression on Xiang Jun's face. That look of viewing a troubled child made her feel rather weird inside.

What kind of look was that?

Tang Wutong flushed slightly. She watched the tall figure approaching and prepared to speak, only to find that Xiang Jun had no intention of paying her any mind whatsoever, brushing right past her.

What on earth do you mean, did you seriously not see this princess?

This truly was asking for death!

Huo Yuhao silently followed behind Xiang Jun. Tang Wutong's peerless beauty, which could truly be called a fairy descending to the mortal realm, caused her to feel a thick surge of envy and inferiority deep within her heart.

Such a pretty girl!

It was just that her brain seemed a little abnormal...

Glancing once more at Tang Wutong's shifting and rich expressions, Huo Yuhao resolved to stay far away from this person to avoid getting infected...

As everyone knew, the Shrek Academy of the Unrivaled Tang Sect era had three major pain points: Zhou Yi, the dormitory, and the cafeteria right in front of Xiang Jun at this moment.

The instant Xiang Jun pushed open the door and entered, his peerless demeanor and appearance instantly stirred up quite a commotion in the cafeteria. However, he was in no mood to bother with that right now, as he was dumbfounded by the scene that met his eyes!

If not for the aroma of food lingering in the air, Xiang Jun would have suspected this was some sort of refugee camp...

He saw that the entire cafeteria was exceptionally empty at the moment, with hardly any students around. The most bizarre part was that there wasn't a single table or chair in the dining area!

Only in front of the pricey VIP counters were a few scattered tables and chairs set up.

Xiang Jun's eye twitched as he led Huo Gua straight toward the distant VIP counter.

After paying the exorbitant price of dozens of Gold Soul Coins, Xiang Jun finally got to experience the supreme service of the Shrek cafeteria...

Eating while sitting down.

Looking at the dazzling array of exquisite food before her that she had never even seen before, Huo Yuhao felt her index finger twitching with appetite, but the restraint deep within her heart still left her somewhat at a loss.

"Eat your dinner, since we bought it you might as well eat, or are you trying to disrespect me?" Sensing Huo Yuhao's predicament, Xiang Jun smiled and uttered a "threat."

Huo Yuhao fidgeted for a long time before she finally picked up a piece of the cheapest greens with a trembling motion under Xiang Jun's gaze...

"Eat more, look at how thin you are, you're not even as robust as the girls." Xiang Jun shook his head, then picked up a large chunk of braised Earth Dragon tendon and placed it into Huo Gua's bowl.

"Many thanks, senior... in the future once I make money, I will definitely repay you well!"

Xiang Jun's inadvertent little gesture made Huo Yuhao feel her nose sting slightly, and a layer of mist even blurred her vision.

Huo Gua at this time was just that pure; as long as someone quietly showed her even a shred of kindness, her heart would be moved to the point of overflowing.

Thud!

Just as Huo Yuhao was fantasizing about selling more grilled fish in the future to repay Xiang Jun's kindness, an untimely collision sound suddenly rang out, directly pulling her thoughts back to reality.

Looking up, she saw that the neurotic beauty she had just crossed paths with a moment ago was now holding a bowl of polished rice, quietly sitting right beside senior Xiang Jun.

Meanwhile, Tang Wutong acted as though she hadn't noticed their bizarre expressions at all, casually picking up a piece of spirit beast meat and popping it into her mouth.

Mm, free food always tasted the best!

"Hey, hey, hey, classmate, this food I ordered is clearly mine, right?" Seeing the sudden appearance of Tang Wutong, Xiang Jun frowned and said coldly.

"So what? The Sea God Martial Soul was already given to you, this princess is just eating a meal of yours, stingypuss! Besides, even if others scramble to invite this princess to eat, I might not even deign to look at them, so you should just count your blessings!"

Tang Wutong rolled her eyes heavily, and then stopped caring about her image, beginning to devour her food voraciously.

That whirlwind-like manner caused Huo Yuhao's eyelids to twitch wildly, and the movements of her own hands inevitably sped up a lot.

Was this person here just to steal food?

What did she mean by the Sea God Martial Soul was already given to him?

What did his Sea God Martial Soul have to do with their Tang family!

Xiang Jun frowned. Looking at the dish on the table that Tang Wutong had intentionally avoided, a playful smile suddenly curled the corners of his mouth.

So you like to eat, do you? Then come try this!

"Here, try this, the taste is quite fantastic!"

Tang Wutong looked down and saw a greasy, shiny, bright red rabbit leg quietly lying in her bowl.

Red... red-braised Soft Bone Rabbit?!

Tang Wutong's movements instantly froze in mid-air, and even the air suddenly grew much quieter.

"Um, um... I'm allergic to rabbit meat!" After a long while, Tang Wutong flurriedly moved the rabbit leg to the side with hurried, clumsy gestures and stammered.

Huo Yuhao blinked, feeling somewhat bewildered inside.

There was actually someone allergic to rabbit meat? How strange, chew chew chew~

Right at that moment, Tang Wutong suddenly raised her head and happened to catch Huo Yuhao gnawing on a rabbit leg, staring fixedly at her without blinking.

Ahhhhh! This princess is going to slaughter you!

Time flew by in a flash. The enrollment period ended, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the school term opening arrived.

Finishing her meditation state, Xiang Jun took one look and spotted Huo Yuhao, who was frantically cleaning the room.

How truly domestic!

Though that word might not be entirely appropriate when applied to Huo Yuhao.

"Senior, you're awake?" Hearing the noise, Huo Yuhao hurriedly halted her movements and spoke with a gentle smile.

"Yeah, thanks for the effort, Yuhao." Xiang Jun nodded with a smile.

Ever since that dinner a few days ago, Huo Gua had very consciously taken over all hygiene-related chores in the dormitory.

What a diligent and good kid.

Casually stripping off his clothes with an air of absolute indifference, Xiang Jun then pulled out the freshman uniform he had already prepared.

"Good thing it's white, if this were Shrek green, I might have had to run away to the Star Luo National Academy!" Xiang Jun nodded inwardly. At least the current uniform of Shrek Academy was far from being as unbearable as it was ten thousand years ago.

As the Spirit of the Ocean, although Xiang Jun's age after taking human form was only twelve, his height was particularly prominent, making him stand out like a crane among chickens among all the freshmen.

Coupled with wielding the hundred-plus-pound Seagod's Trident every day, his physique was well-built and toned while not appearing exaggerated in the slightest.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was taking advantage of her peripheral vision to covertly size up Xiang Jun's physique.

Such a perfect figure...
