Wang Dongâer snapped, âDonât try to change the topic. So how?â
Huo Yuhao laughed bitterly. âI told you that was a misunderstanding? Donât you trust my character?â
Wang Dongâer wanted to smile, but straightened her expression. âI only believe what I see.â
Huo Yuhao was helpless as he said, âAbout that, what do you think I should do? Iâll do whatever you want me to do.â
Wang Dongâer snorted and said, âCome in.â As she spoke, she dragged him into her room before locking the door. There were some things that shouldnât be said outside. Her room was also pretty soundproof.
As she looked at Huo Yuhao, Wang Dongâer almost burst out laughing. This helpless-looking guy was really the guy that she liked?
âHuo Yuhao!â
âIâm here!â Huo Yuhao almost greeted her formally, and he acknowledged her words cautiously.
Wang Dongâer thought her words over before saying, âOwing to your performance last night, I decided that you are my man from today onwards. Iâll be responsible for you. Do you understand?â
âWhat?â Huo Yuhaoâs tone varied greatly as he muttered this one word. He looked at Wang Dongâer in a daze and didnât understand.
Wang Dongâer was furious, âWhat? Youâve hugged, touched, and slept with me. Are you going to shirk your responsibility? Youâre my man from now on. You canât look, like, or even touch other ladies. Do you understand?â
âUhâ¦â Huo Yuhao seemed to have understood her point.
Wang Dongâer was pleased as she said, âDonât worry, Iâll treat you very well. Iâll feed you and give you water every day. You can also follow me. However, you need to listen to me. Do you understand?â
Huo Yuhao was in a daze. âWhy do I feel like youâre keeping a dog instead?â
Wang Dongâer chuckled. âYes, I am. You are the dog.â
âArenât you angry?â the look in Huo Yuhaoâs eyes turned clearer.
Wang Dongâer straightened her expression once again. âWho said Iâm not? Iâm very angry!â
âAre you?â Huo Yuhaoâs expression changed. He was no longer as cautious as before. He wasnât a fool, either. Although love could make one foolish, he couldnât possibly be relegated to the level of a dog!
âYes! What, what are you going to do? Donât mess around!â Wang Dongâer was shocked to realize that a certain dog was walking towards her. This dog had also turned vicious.
âNice! Wang Dongâer, how dare you trick me! See how Iâm going to deal with you!â
âStop playing around, Iâm going to shout!â
âIf youâre not scared of embarrassment, then shout all you want. No one will come and save you even if you shout until you lose your voice! I have a legendary soul skill called Hungry Tiger Pouncing on its Prey!â
âAh!â
In the next moment, the bed became the battlefield. Huo Yuhao was given a good kick by Wang Dongâer, and he flew back onto the wall before sliding down.
As she was frightened, Wang Dongâer had kicked him forcefully. Huo Yuhao almost lost consciousness.
âYuhao, are you alright?â Wang Dongâer was frightened and rushed to his side. She caressed his chest with an anxious look on her face. âIt wasnât intentional. Who asked you to be so naughtyâ¦?â
âI was naughtyâ¦?â Huo Yuhaoâs eyes widened, and he looked at her as if she had reversed the truth. Who was the one scaring me? I was so afraid that my heart was beating extremely quickly.
âI canât make it. My stomach is aching from your kick.â Huo Yuhao leaned on Wang Dongâer and refused to get up.
Wang Dongâer became even more anxious, âWhat do we do? Do I carry you to the infirmary?â
âNo need. You have medicine with you. Give me some.â Huo Yuhaoâs voice sounded even weaker.
âWhat medicine?â Wang Dongâer was stunned.
Huo Yuhaoâs voice suddenly turned weird. âMagical medicine.â After he finished speaking, he suddenly hugged Wang Dongâer and tried to kiss her.
Wang Dongâer was a Soul Emperor, and her reactions were quick. When Huo Yuhao moved, she reacted immediately, and subconsciously turned around. However, it didnât work. Her lips still met his.
When their lips met, they both froze in place.
Huo Yuhao hadnât planned on kissing Wang Dongâer on the lips! It was accidentalâ¦
Wang Dongâerâs lips were soft and refreshing. When their lips met, Huo Yuhao felt his soul shaking. He couldnât describe that feeling with words. Their pupils dilated at the same time, and they maintained this position for several seconds.
âOoâ¦â Wang Dongâer reacted first. She quickly moved back, and her face could be seen blushing red like an apple.
Huo Yuhao remained where he was, and even licked his lips.
âYou!â Wang Dongâer pursed her lips. It was hard to tell if she was furious or being coquettish.
âIt wasnât deliberateâ¦â Huo Yuhao muttered almost immediately. However, he wanted to slap himself after he spoke. Even if it wasnât accidental, he still took advantage of her.
Indeed, Wang Dongâer raised her brows and said furiously, âGet out!â
âDongâer, listen to meâ¦â
Wang Dongâer didnât give him a chance to defend himself, and dragged him to the door of her room. Huo Yuhao didnât even struggle, and was thrown out in a matter of seconds.
Bang! The door slammed shut. Wang Dongâer leaned on the door after she closed it and held her face with her hands. She stomped on the ground with her right foot, âThis idiot, he stole my first kiss just like that. So unromantic.â
Huo Yuhao was locked out, and could only scratch his head helplessly. He probably couldnât enter her room anymore. However, he could tell that she wasnât really angry. He was prepared to whip up some delicacies before coming back to coax her.
âYuhao, Yuhao!â At this moment, an anxious voice sounded. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw vice-Dean Cai Meiâer walking towards him.
âNo wonder I couldnât find you. So you came here to find Dongâer. Quick, follow me!â Cai Meiâer approached him and dragged him away immediately.
Huo Yuhao was confused. âDean Cai, whatâs going on? What happened?â
Cai Meiâer replied, âYouâll know after you follow me. After we returned yesterday, I reported our findings to Elder Xuan. He was very concerned about your suggestion for soul masters to learn how to use soul tools, and asked you to report to him. Elder Song, Shaozhe and Xian Linâer are all there. Weâll discuss it first before bringing the matter up in the Conference in the Sea Godâs Pavilion. Go and prepare.â
âAlright.â Huo Yuhaoâs eyes brightened. This was an important matter that he was pushing for. If he succeeded, it would be very beneficial for Shrek Academyâs future development.
The two of them came to the first level of the Sea Godâs Pavilion. Indeed, Elder Xuan was seated at the conference room table with his wine gourd beside him. However, it was evident that he hadnât drunk anything today. While he was old, he was still full of energy.
Elder Song, Xian Linâer, Yan Shaozhe, Huo Yuhao and Cai Meiâer sat in the other seats. They constituted slightly less than half of a proper Conference of the Sea Godâs Pavilion.
Everyone smiled kindly when they saw Huo Yuhao. Elder Xuan asked, âYuhao, did you get enough rest?â
Huo Yuhaoâs face was blushing slightly. Of course he had slept well. He had hugged Wang Dongâer to sleep!
âIt was rather good. Thank you for your concern, Elder Xuan.â
As he spoke, he took his seat along with Cai Meiâer. Cai Meiâer sat one seat from Yan Shaozhe, whereas Huo Yuhao sat one seat from her.
Elder Xuan said, âMeiâer has already told me about what happened. It seems like thereâs really going to be a huge change in the world of soul masters on the continent! First it was the Holy Ghost Church. Then the Dragon Emperor Long Xiaoyao appeared. Now itâs the three evil soul mastersâ turn. Iâm afraid weâre going to face more trouble in the future. But letâs forget about that for now, weâll talk about it in the next conference. These evil soul masters canât be resisted by ordinary Shrek Guardians anymore. Weâll have to deal with the matter prudently. Yuhao, tell me about your suggestion.â
âYes!â Huo Yuhao acknowledged his words. âIn fact, this suggestion wasnât initially made by me, but Teacher Wang Yan. The future development of the world of soul masters is bound to involve strong soul masters developing soul tools to their fullest. Iâm an experimental product of Teacher Wang. After years of learning about soul tools and increasing my cultivation, I discovered that the abilities of soul masters and soul tools are not mutually exclusive.
âThe Sun Moon Empire is able to attract so many people to become soul engineers mainly because soul engineers arenât restricted by martial souls. As long as they have soul power, they can use soul tools and become soul engineers. Itâs precisely this idea that has made our idea seem deviant, too.â
âIn my opinion, soul masters without strong martial souls can be considered soul engineers if they use soul tools. However, they are just basic soul engineers. They arenât strong. They wonât be able to unleash the full power of their soul tools. In fact, itâs not only us that took a roundabout way, even the Sun Moon Empire did the same thing. They are too focused on soul tools, and have neglected the influence of a soul master on soul tools. Our Ultimate Soldier Plan has indeed made some breakthroughs, but we are unable to distinguish them clearly yet.â
