Drawing the Attention of the Divine Realm's Big Shots

Hui Ye glanced around. His flesh and blood covered the room, and the thick stench of blood assaulted his nose. He couldn't help covering it.

If anyone else saw this, it wouldn't be easy to explain.

Hui Ye immediately shoved the door open and shouted at the top of his lungs, doing his best to make sure the whole building could hear.

"It's nothing! It was just my roommate: Huo! Yu! Hao!

He bet his next fart would be fine, but he lost.

I've already given him a beating."

Wang Hai stood among the crowd in the hallway. He instinctively covered his nose and moved away from Huo Yuhao.

"Seriously?!"

Someone didn't understand and pressed for an answer. "What does that mean? I didn't get it."

Wang Hai looked at Huo Yuhao with disgust. "It means Huo Yuhao bet his fart would be dry, but it came out runny.

Got it now?"

"Fuck!"

The crowd cried out, covered their noses, and fled in panic, desperate to get away before the filth could touch them.

There was almost a stampede in the process.

The entire hallway had been packed a moment ago, but in an instant, not a soul remained.

One student even opened his door and scooped up a pet dog that had slipped out into the hallway, bringing it back into the dorm room.

The door slammed shut with a bang, and he locked it.

"!!!"

Huo Yuhao turned his head mechanically and looked at Hui Ye's smarmy expression. His eyes gradually lost focus.

"What did you just say?"

"Hey, say that again. I dare you!"

Huo Yuhao craned his neck and stared daggers at Hui Ye, looking ready to kill.

Hui Ye dragged Huo Yuhao back inside and locked the door behind them.

Huo Yuhao grabbed Hui Ye by the collar. He was so anxious he was nearly in tears, and his voice came out choked with sobs.

"Hui Ye! You've gone too far! After what you just did, how am I supposed to face our classmates from now on?!

And there I was, so worried about you just now, even covering for you and saying the water heater exploded.

Is this how you repay me?

You bastard!

Aaaaaaaaaah!"

Huo Yuhao's hands trembled as he raised one to hit Hui Ye, only to see the encouraging look in his eyes.

The defenses he had built up in his heart crumbled in an instant.

He gritted his teeth, but in the end, his fist never fell.

He pushed Hui Ye away and leaned against the back of the door, letting himself slide down to the floor. His eyes were vacant, and he was in no better state than Wang Dong.

In a single day, Hui Ye had successfully scored a double kill, breaking two people's spirits.

"Ahem, desperate times call for desperate measures." Hui Ye sat down beside Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao buried his head in his knees.

"I'm sorry, Yuhao. I was wrong." Hui Ye nudged him with his shoulder and spoke softly.

Huo Yuhao's body was as stiff as a statue.

"Forgive me. Let's make up. We're still friends, right?"

Hui Ye tugged at the hem of his clothes again.

Huo Yuhao raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and said, enunciating each word, "Our. Friendship. Is. Over!"

Hui Ye pursed his lips and said no more to persuade him. He turned, went to the bathroom, and brought out a rag and a basin of water to start wiping the walls.

After a while, apparently feeling he couldn't handle the mess alone, Hui Ye took a large handful of Gold Soul Coins from his soul tool ring and placed them on Huo Yuhao's bed.

"Help me wipe the floor, and the money's yours."

"No!"

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth.

"Suit yourself."

Hui Ye continued wiping the walls.

"Yuhao, take it. Don't turn your back on money. What's done is done; accept your fate," Tian Meng advised him in his mind.

Huo Yuhao was unmoved. "No!"

"Think about it. Going out to sell grilled fish every night takes up so much of your time. The thousands of Gold Soul Coins this kid tossed you would cover so many of your expenses.

With that time, you could cultivate a little longer. Wouldn't it be better to improve your strength?"

The bright light reflected off the Gold Soul Coins onto his face, especially dazzling.

Huo Yuhao wrestled with himself for a long time.

Gritting his teeth, he got up, picked up a rag, and started wiping the floor, all the while muttering:

"Hui Ye, I'm not doing this for your stinking money. You made the room so dirty-how am I supposed to live here?!"

"You're absolutely right about everything."

Hui Ye replied.

Seeing how perfunctory he was, Huo Yuhao fumed.

Why wouldn't you let me help? I could have had Tian Meng take care of that group of students in one move, but you just had to make me lose all face.

"Fuck!"

Huo Yuhao flung the rag onto the floor, splashing red, bloody water.

After holding out for two minutes, he glanced twice at the Gold Soul Coins on the bed, then silently picked up the rag, pressed his lips together, and resumed wiping the floor.

"Sigh, I still don't know what happened just now. A god actually made a move against this kid.

And there were two gods at that.

Yuhao, why don't you try to sound him out?"

Tian Meng wriggled back and forth in Huo Yuhao's mind with his hands behind his back.

Huo Yuhao snorted. "He'd be better off dead!"

"That involved gods. Yuhao, you'll have to deal with gods sooner or later. It wouldn't hurt to learn more."

"Can't you see he's acting as if nothing happened? That's his secret. Stay out of a child's secrets."

"Yuhao! You've picked up bad habits. You never used to talk like that.

Hah!

That bad boy Hui Ye must have led you astray!

Fine, don't ask. Who cares..."

Divine Realm, Sea God Temple.

The gods had stopped a great war in the Divine Realm. The original Shrek Seven Devils had gathered together, all of them silent.

Just then, Tang San's expression abruptly changed.

"What's wrong, Third Brother?" Xiao Wu asked.

"The divine consciousness mark I left on that kid just now was erased!"

Xiao Wu slammed her fist on the table. "It must have been Destruction again."

A cold glint flashed through Dai Mubai's mismatched eyes. "Destruction targets the seven of us at every turn. He's truly detestable."

Oscar asked, "Little San, you're saying that kid goes to Shrek Academy?"

Tang San nodded.

Oscar pondered for a moment before speaking. "Then that's easy. You can send down a divine decree ordering the current Sea God Pavilion Master to have them step in and deal with it."

Dai Mubai folded his arms. "We just fought Destruction. He must be watching us now. It's not a good idea."

Oscar said, "Let's try. You never know. Destruction can't watch us every moment, can he?

Now's the perfect time to double back and catch him off guard. He might not be prepared."

"All right."

Tang San had only just sent his divine sense out of the Divine Realm when he felt an invisible barrier block it and send it back inside.

The next second,

The Goddess of Life's icy voice rang throughout the Sea God Temple.

"Still not behaving? It seems you really do want to start a war."

Tang San had no choice but to give up, his face as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

Xiao Wu said, "Third Brother, let's wait until this storm blows over. I'll send Da Ming and Er Ming a secret order and have them make a move."

"That's all we can do."

In the Destruction Temple, the Goddess of Life looked at Destruction and sighed softly. "What exactly happened to make you willing to tear away all pretense and go to war with Tang San?"

"I found an interesting little fellow..."

Destruction briefly recounted what had happened.

A minor Soul Master in the lower realm had nearly caused great chaos in the Divine Realm. How absurd it would sound if word got out.

The Goddess of Life shook her head and laughed.

But the two had been husband and wife for so many years that their hearts were in tune. They needed only a few words to see into each other's thoughts.

"I think you've taken a fancy to that little fellow in the lower realm."

"I wouldn't go that far, but... since he can make Tang San take him so seriously, he must have something special about him."

The corners of Destruction's mouth rose slightly.

"The more Tang San wants to kill him, the more determined I am to stop him."

"Do you really have no other thoughts?" The Goddess of Life glanced at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Haha, as expected, I can't hide anything from you."

Destruction scratched his head. "If that little fellow manages to break through to Titled Douluo, I wouldn't mind sending down a divine trial and giving him a chance to become a god."

"You think that highly of him? You're making me tempted too."

"Don't! Don't try to snatch him from me. That little fellow isn't suited to your divine position," Destruction said hurriedly.

The Goddess of Life smiled. "Don't worry. Why would I try to snatch him from you?"

"Hard to say."

"What did you just say?"

"I hurt my finger a little in the fight just now. I'm going to heal it."

Destruction turned and left.
