"Haodong Power..." Huo Yuhao murmured. Yes, in this life, to avoid God King Tang, he absolutely could not have too much contact with Wang Dong'er, Tang Wutong's alias. Thus, the Haodong Power that the two of them had been so proud of in the original story could never appear. But this time was different—Bibi Dong was by his side.

Held in the arms of Huo Yuhao, who had transformed into an adult man, Bibi Dong felt something strange. Once upon a time, when she had still been a young girl, she had also desperately wished for that man to hold her tightly like this. Unfortunately, because of her inferiority complex, he had scarcely even held her hand a few times...

"Yuhao..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux's divine-sense beads were hidden in a corner of the palace. Watching Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong embrace tightly, humanized, knowing smiles appeared on their faces.

"Old man, what do you think they'll do next?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked with a lewd chuckle.

"My guess is that there'll definitely be a breathless kiss!" Electrolux declared shamelessly.

"Could it be that Her Majesty the Pope will let Yuhao carry her to bed and do that?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued his wicked speculation.

"Hard to say. Back when this old man was young..."

How could their voices possibly escape Bibi Dong's divine senses? She immediately broke free from Huo Yuhao's embrace in a panic, her face flushed pink and her brows raised in anger. With a wave of her hand, she blasted a powerful stream of energy at the bug and the old man.

"Mercy, Your Majesty!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux were blown flying.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head with a foolish grin. Seeing the furious Bibi Dong chase after those two fellows, he did not dare linger either. With a flash, he withdrew from the Sea of Spirit.

Not far away, Wang Dong had already begun fighting several freshmen.

Shrek Academy covered an enormous area, with wide open spaces separating each building. After Wang Dong and the freshmen left the dormitory, the group began fighting directly in the open space outside.

Wang Dong was already exceptionally beautiful, and dressed as a man, she looked incomparably handsome. This was precisely what stoked the jealousy of many of the boys. Most men harbored some hostility toward peers who were both handsome and powerful.

The academy had explicit rules forbidding private fights, so everyone tacitly refrained from using their Martial Souls. Relying on her formidable physique, tempered by countless strands of Immortal Spirit Qi in the God Realm, Wang Dong still handled herself with ease despite facing many opponents alone.

In that case, let these freshmen teach this spoiled little princess a lesson. A mischievous smile curled across Huo Yuhao's lips as he activated Spiritual Detection Sharing.

The freshmen fighting fiercely on the scene immediately felt an overwhelming tide of powerful Spiritual Power sweep over them. Before they could react, Spiritual Sharing took effect. Then, Wang Dong's agile movements seemed to be full of openings in their eyes.

"Get him! Beat him up hard!" someone shouted. The freshmen who had originally been at a disadvantage immediately swarmed forward. After one attack, Wang Dong failed to evade in time and took a hard straight punch to the eye socket.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, Wang Dong had been hit several times. Those freshmen still had no idea that this fellow was actually a girl, so they struck wherever it hurt most.

"Ah—" After suffering repeated heavy blows, fury surged in Wang Dong's beautiful eyes. She let out an angry cry, and a golden trident mark lit up on her forehead.

An invisible golden current spread outward from her body. The freshmen, who had been beating her with great enthusiasm, were forcibly knocked unconscious by that current.

"Damn it, if you can't handle it, don't play!" Huo Yuhao hurriedly withdrew his Spiritual Power without leaving a trace and silently retreated into the distance.

When her real father stepped in, it was obvious whether there was anything to fear. As the biggest cheat character in this story, Wang Dong could not possibly be truly hurt even if every Titled Douluo on the continent came at her, much less a few freshmen with one or two rings. Otherwise, a rain of Asura Swords might descend from the heavens at any moment.

What happened next had nothing to do with Huo Yuhao. It was nearly dark, and he had spent the whole day causing trouble. Couldn't he go back and enjoy some tender company?

You all keep beating, keep dancing...

Huo Yuhao returned to the rented room but did not see Wu Feng and the other two girls. Instead, he found a stranger. Judging by his aura, the newcomer was at least a Soul Sage.

What happened to my tender company?

When the man saw Huo Yuhao, he quickly bowed. "Young Master Huo, I am the young mistress's attendant."

Huo Yuhao quickly understood. As the young mistress of the mighty Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, how could Ning Tian possibly travel outside without several powerful experts secretly protecting her?

"Did your young mistress leave you here because she had some instruction for me?" Huo Yuhao crossed one leg over the other and sat on the bed, studying the man with an ambiguous smile.

With several cheat-like existences inside him, Huo Yuhao had no fear of a mere Soul Sage.

"It is like this. The young mistress purchased an estate beside the academy in Shrek City." The man was secretly startled by Huo Yuhao's composure, but with Ning Tian's instructions, he did not dare show the slightest negligence. "I waited here to invite you to the residence for a talk."

"Then lead the way." Huo Yuhao had no intention of staying in such a small place for long. Even without Ning Tian and the others, he would have needed to find himself a residence in Shrek City eventually.

"Please follow me."

After leaving the inn, Ning Tian's guard walked ahead while Huo Yuhao followed behind, his hands clasped behind his head and wearing a calm, unhurried expression.

"Young Master Huo, may I boldly ask what your relationship with the young mistress is?" The guard ahead finally could not resist asking.

"I'm her cauldron," Huo Yuhao casually made up.

A cauldron? The guard nearly stumbled, staring wide-eyed at Huo Yuhao as the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

"Young Master Huo, that is not a joke to make lightly."

"Ask her yourself." Huo Yuhao was utterly shameless.

The guard said no more, wondering whether he should report this to the sect. Huo Yuhao looked far too young, while the young mistress was at the age when love first blossomed. If something happened, it would be too late to remedy it.

The two unhurriedly arrived at a lavishly decorated two-story villa that occupied a considerable area. An artificial pond lay nearby, while the garden was planted with numerous precious flowers and herbs. At a glance, it was clearly the luxurious home of someone wealthy.

"Young Master Huo, this is the place. I still have important matters to attend to, so I will not disturb you further."

Huo Yuhao nodded, looking as though he did not take the man seriously at all.

"I have one more thing to say. I hope Young Master Huo will not take offense." Just as Huo Yuhao was about to push open the courtyard gate, the guard could not help calling out to stop him.

"The young mistress is a genius rarely seen in the sect for a thousand years. She bears the expectations of thousands of people in the sect. I ask that Young Master Huo not become too deeply entangled with her."

"I understand." Huo Yuhao answered without turning around. What a joke—they had already slept in each other's arms. It was only a matter of waiting until the day Huo Yuhao could no longer restrain himself and arranged a bargain son-in-law for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in advance.

The guard said nothing further and vanished into the darkness with a flash.

This was a matter of great importance, and he had to report it to the sect. With that thought, the guard accelerated beneath his feet and prepared to race out of Shrek City.

"Anyone who threatens my man needn't go back."

A voice that made one's entire body go weak sounded beside the guard's ear. Just as he tried to adjust his body in time, he suddenly discovered that his legs had lost all feeling!

At some unknown point, both his legs had been severed at the roots!

The guard was terrified out of his wits and immediately used Martial Soul Possession. His Martial Soul was a Gale Wolf. Even after losing both legs, he was still confident he could escape alive.

A slender black figure slowly emerged from beneath the shadows of the trees. She was breathtakingly beautiful, a faint smile resting on her exquisite face. Like a fairy descended from heaven, she seemed untouched by the mortal world.

"Y-you are... Huo Yuhao's..." The guard could not even speak clearly in his panic. Then he saw an utterly horrifying sight—

Eight soul rings, seven black and one red, slowly rose from beneath Zhongli Yu's feet. A blood-colored puppet flickered behind her, radiating astonishing killing intent.

"I've been very unhappy these past few days. The Holy Son of my sect actually left me, his Holy Maiden, behind and ran off to Shrek to fool around with a few little girls. Don't you think that's irritating?"

Zhongli Yu casually examined her snow-white palm. Her tranquil expression made it impossible to associate her with the miserable Soul Sage lying on the ground.

"I was clearly here first. What right does the young mistress of your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have to interfere in our relationship?"

"I can't bear to lay a hand on him... so can't I at least vent my anger on you?"

Three updates today, a little burst. Keep voting, and I'll keep updating!
