"God?!"
Upon hearing this word, Huo Yuhao's bright eyes trembled violently.
Although he had prepared himself to remain calm no matter what Kong Xuan said, he still trembled upon hearing this answer, opening his mouth but unable to utter a single word.
Not only Huo Yuhao, but also Ice Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his Sea of Consciousness were extremely shocked. They obviously did not expect that it was a god who made a move yesterday!
Although Kong Xuan was young, he always displayed many extraordinary abilities, and in Ice Empress's eyes, he was originally the successor of the gods.
Therefore, even though he mentioned gods, neither the man nor the two beasts doubted him.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "Why did the gods attack Yuhao? What is their purpose?"
Ice Empress: "No wonder it could obscure my senses and weaken my memories; it was actually a god who intervened?!"
Two exclamations snapped Huo Yuhao back to reality. He quickly asked, " Brother Xuan... aren't gods just legendary beings? Why would they suddenly attack me?"
Compared to Huo Yuhao's current panic, Kong Xuan remained extremely calm.
With a thought, Spirit Domain Realm Divine Power surged, instantly enveloping the surroundings to ensure that their subsequent conversation and even images would not be leaked.
If anyone else were looking in their direction at that moment, they wouldn't even notice that there were two people standing there.
After completing the preparations, Kong Xuan said, "Let Tian Meng and Ice Empress come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, two slightly ethereal figures emerged from between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows and floated above his head.
The doubts in their hearts were no less than those in Huo Yuhao's.
Kong Xuan turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao and said, "This deity didn't suddenly attack you; you've been in his sights the whole time."
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but his face immediately showed a look of confusion.
He couldn't understand what he had done to deserve the attention of a deity.
Kong Xuan continued, " Yuhao, first it was the million-year-old Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, then it was the Ice Empress, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North. Do you think anyone can easily obtain such great opportunities?"
Huo Yuhao hadn't thought about this question, but he felt that his luck had been pretty good ever since he left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
Kong Xuan didn't give Huo Yuhao time to overthink, and said directly, " Yuhao, you are the chosen one of this era, the destiny of the entire continent rests upon you, which is why you have so many extraordinary encounters!"
"That's why you caught the attention of this deity!"
"Me?... The Chosen One?!"
Huo Yuhao pointed at himself, looking incredulous. His mind was a complete mess, and he was somewhat dazed.
A proud expression appeared on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's little face. "It seems my judgment is still quite good; the person I chose is actually the chosen one, haha!"
Compared to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's self-admiration, Ice Empress is clearly more pragmatic.
She recalled Kong Xuan's promise and asked excitedly, "You said before that Yuhao would definitely become a god because he caught the attention of the gods and would become their successor?"
Kong Xuan glanced upwards and shook his head. "Being noticed by a deity isn't necessarily a good thing, and my promise has nothing to do with this deity."
Ice Empress recalled yesterday's experience and murmured, "Judging from its methods, it certainly doesn't seem like a righteous god."
"So, is his interest in Yuhao because he's attracted to his status as the chosen one?"
Kong Xuan nodded, thinking to himself that Ice Empress's years Far North Heavenly King had not been in vain; at least his intelligence was above average, and he could guess the key points without Kong Xuan having to explain much.
"That's right, He coveted Yuhao's status as the Chosen One and wanted to control him, to make Yuhao act according to His arrangements to help complete His plan."
Kong Xuan then turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao and said in a deep voice, "Actually, according to His arrangement, you should have Shrek Academy."
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, if I hadn't met my teacher and Brother Xuan, I would indeed have joined the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy."
The thought that his fate was controlled by a god made Huo Yuhao feel an invisible pressure that made it hard for him to breathe.
However, his eyes then lit up, and he said, "So, I've joined the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, which doesn't seem to be following this deity's plan."
"That's true!" Kong Xuan's expression didn't lighten. "But this deity didn't let you off the hook, which is why yesterday's incident happened."
" Brother Xuan, I just don't understand why that deity made me break into Wang Dong's dorm and then see..."
Huo Yuhao only said half of what he meant, but Kong Xuan understood his meaning.
"Hmph!" Kong Xuan scoffed dismissively. "You don't actually think Wang Dong is a victim too, do you?"
"How can she not be a victim? She... I..."
Huo Yuhao immediately retorted with a question, but was too embarrassed to admit that he had seen her naked.
Kong Xuan raised his hand and tapped Huo Yuhao on the head. "Do you know what it means to catch a wolf without risking your cub?"
Huo Yuhao had gotten used to Kong Xuan often spouting things he couldn't understand.
Although it was the first time Huo Yuhao had heard the saying "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub," he already guessed what it meant.
Kong Xuan, never one to mince words, declared, " Wang Dong is no ordinary person; she is a child of a god!"
"What?!"
Huo Yuhao, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and Ice Empress all exclaimed in unison.
Huo Yuhao swallowed hard, stammering, " Brother Xuan, you mean... Wang Dong is after my... god's daughter?!"
"Smack!"
Kong Xuan snapped his fingers, "You got it right!"
"According to this deity's arrangement, you were supposed to study at the Shrek Academy, and this girl disguised as a boy, Wang Dong, would be your roommate."
"The bond cultivated since childhood is naturally deep. Once you've both grown up, Wang Dong can reveal her true identity as a woman. When you see such a beautiful woman, will you, you silly boy, be able to run away?"
Huo Yuhao blushed as Kong Xuan spoke, and he wanted to refute him.
But ever since last night, Wang Dong's alluring body has been constantly appearing in my mind.
If what Kong Xuan said were true, then perhaps he really could not escape the clutches of evil.
Kong Xuan's lips curled into a strange smile as he looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "When you become the son-in-law of a god, you might even become a god yourself. Doesn't that sound pretty good?"
Huo Yuhao resolutely shook his head. "Becoming a god is good, but I don't like being someone else's puppet. I want to live a life that belongs to me."
As he said those words, Huo Yuhao felt the white, blurry image in his mind gradually dissipating.
In other words, his "Daoist heart" is gradually becoming firmer.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's small eyes gleamed with golden light as she hesitantly asked, "After all this talk, who exactly is this deity who's willing to use her own daughter as bait?"
Ice Empress and Huo Yuhao also showed intense curiosity in their eyes, waiting for Kong Xuan's answer.
"This person is no ordinary individual!"
"He holds the Dual Godhood Asura God and Sea God, and is also one of the five God King of the Divine Realm, wielding immense power within the Divine Realm."
Not long ago, when Yan Shaozhe entered Shrek Academy, he specifically introduced the original Shrek Seven Devils, who all became gods, when recounting the academy's glorious history.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao, Ice Empress, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm all exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
" Sea God?... Tang San?!"
