The four returned to Shrek Academy, weary and travel-worn. Before they could properly rest, an unexpected figure came rushing over.
"Senior Gu Yue! Senior Gu Yue!"
Lan Fozi ran up to Gu Yue in excitement, her wide eyes shining with admiration, completely oblivious to Tang Wulin's increasingly dark expression beside her. She exclaimed, "Senior Gu Yue, I just heard! You were incredible on this mission. I heard you even took down the Ghost Emperor? And that meteorite—heavens, when will I ever be as strong as you?"
Before Gu Yue could answer, she felt the pressure beside her plummet. She turned and met Tang Wulin's eyes, which practically had "jealousy" and "displeasure" written across them. He folded his arms and turned his head slightly, deliberately refusing to look at Lan Fozi, but the sour tang of his jealousy was almost spilling out.
Looking at Lan Fozi, who was a little too familiar and utterly unabashed in expressing her admiration, then at Tang Wulin beside her, whose vinegar jar had clearly tipped over, Gu Yue felt a trace of helplessness. She even began to seriously question whether she had made the right decision at the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Conference when she had skipped the questions and asked Tang Wulin to make his choice directly.
Back at Sea God's Fate, she had indeed felt that she knew Tang Wulin too well to need any tests before being with him. Besides, he had not been certain whether he would die at the time, so he needed a few girls to look after him. But who could have imagined that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, who seemed so domineering and powerful, would be this prone to jealousy in private?
But where in the world could she find a pill for regret?
