Chapter 267 Wang Dong'er's True Form Revealed
Chapter 267 Wang Dong'er's True Form Revealed
How tight is Shrek Academy's defense?
It's not really that strict.
It's not that the college is lax or negligent; there's simply no need for it.
This is the number one academy on the continent, filled with powerful individuals.
Any one of the inner court students could easily stand on their own in the outside world, not to mention the unassuming instructors and the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
Anyone who dares to trespass and cause trouble here is simply asking for trouble.
Huo Yuhao's reputation is known to everyone in the academy.
The moment he stepped into the academy gate, the students who were busy welcoming new students stopped what they were doing and greeted him warmly.
Huo Yuhao nodded in response to each one, his steps unhurried, a perfectly timed smile on his face.
Leng Yaozhu, who followed behind him, also attracted countless eyes. Although the students were curious about the background of this extraordinary red-haired woman, no one dared to say a word to stop her.
After all, this was brought by Huo Yuhao, and just by looking at his aura, he didn't seem like an ordinary person. They had that much insight.
Seeing that everyone passing by was greeting Huo Yuhao warmly, Leng Yaozhu turned her head slightly, a teasing smile appearing on her lips: "Looks like you're quite popular in the academy."
Huo Yuhao smiled upon hearing this, his tone carrying a certain self-assurance: "Of course, after all, my talent and strength are undeniable."
In this world where the strong are respected, it is a consensus among everyone to befriend those with outstanding talent.
His name, Huo Yuhao, had long been a benchmark in Shrek Academy, so his popularity was only to be expected.
As he walked, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped.
His gaze swept past the bustling crowd ahead and landed on a figure running towards him.
The person was wearing a black school uniform for sixth-year students. Although the style was old-fashioned and conservative, it did not conceal her beauty and vitality at all.
Her golden-red curly hair swayed up and down on her shoulders as she ran, and when the morning light shone on it, it looked as if each strand of hair was coated with a layer of scattered gold.
She ran very fast, like a deer darting through the jungle, nimbly weaving through the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, she stood in front of Huo Yuhao.
She first tilted her head slightly and glanced curiously at Leng Yaozhu next to Huo Yuhao with her bright eyes.
His gaze lingered on that cold, stunningly beautiful face for a moment before turning back to Huo Yuhao, asking, "Sister Lexuan wants me to enter the inner courtyard, what about you?"
Looking at the person in front of her, Leng Yaozhu already had a judgment in her mind.
Huo Yuhao had previously explained the transformation of auspicious beasts to her in detail, so the girl in front of him should be her.
To avoid repeating the original course of history, Huo Yuhao deliberately kept his distance from Jin Li from the very beginning.
He thought that as long as there wasn't a deep bond between the two of them, that fateful sacrifice might not have happened, and Jin Li could have lived a good life in another way.
But things didn't go as planned. Jin Li seemed to be glued to him, always hanging around him every few days, which really bothered Huo Yuhao.
Faced with Jin Li's question, Huo Yuhao replied directly, "I won't enter the inner courtyard; I might go to Xingluo City later."
Upon hearing this, Jin Li frowned slightly, his handsome, sword-like eyebrows furrowing.
She was silent for a moment, then she snorted, "I know!"
After saying that, she turned and ran, disappearing back into the crowd like a gust of wind.
Huo Yuhao gazed in the direction she had disappeared, and sighed with a complex expression.
Leng Yaozhu observed all of this, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke: "Fate is the most unpredictable thing. Sometimes you think that avoiding it is the best protection, but in the end, avoiding it may not be a good solution."
Huo Yuhao didn't speak, he just remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Leng Yaozhu didn't urge him. She simply turned her gaze away from the distance and continued, "Now that you're building the Spirit Transmission Tower, you'll need the cooperation of soul beasts in the initial stages."
"In the end, the Soul Spirit system is a contract and symbiosis between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. Without the trust of the Soul Beasts, this path is difficult to traverse."
"Jin Li's identity is that of an auspicious beast, and the Beast God Di Tian will take her seriously. She is a very good entry point."
Huo Yuhao finally raised his head, looked into Leng Yaozhu's calm and deep eyes, and after a moment nodded solemnly, saying, "I will consider it carefully."
……
Although today is the first day of school at Shrek Academy, there were basically no classes scheduled in the morning, and the entire campus was enveloped in a relaxed and lively atmosphere.
Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, dappling the stone path. In the dappled light and shadow, groups of students can be seen strolling and chatting, their laughter and footsteps mingling together.
However, on the side closer to the dormitory building, this relaxed atmosphere was broken by an unusual commotion.
A large crowd had gathered downstairs at the dormitory building.
At first, people stopped in twos and threes, but later more and more people gathered, forming a loose yet unanimously formed semicircle.
All eyes turned in the same direction, whispering among themselves to their companions, their faces showing curiosity and amazement.
In the center of everyone's clashing gazes stood a young girl.
She wore a light blue gradient dress that perfectly accentuated her beautifully proportioned figure.
The skirt swayed gently in the breeze, like flowing water, or like the gentle glow of dawn on the horizon.
Her hair was also light blue, part of which was tied up with a delicate yellow butterfly, cascading down her shoulders and back like gentle waves.
And her face was so beautiful it was almost unreal.
Her features were exquisitely perfect, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, and lips with a natural, healthy pink color beneath her straight nose.
Her skin was so white it was almost transparent, yet it had a delicate sheen. What was even more captivating was her ethereal and pure aura, like a spirit detached from the world, untouched by any dust.
Such a girl, who seems to have stepped out of a painting, could never have remained unknown if she had ever appeared in the academy.
Those present whispered among themselves, searching through their memories thoroughly, but could not find any clues about her.
"Judging from her age, she doesn't seem like a freshman who just enrolled this year."
"Who could it be? It couldn't have fallen from the sky, could it?"
Just then, a sharp-eyed student in the crowd suddenly widened his eyes, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of uncertain surprise, "Pink-blue hair is quite rare. She... she couldn't possibly be Wang Dong's relative, could she?"
These whispers, some loud and some soft, all reached Wang Dong'er's ears.
But she seemed not to have heard anything, her gaze calmly fixed on the distance, her beautiful face devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
Today is the first time she has stood proudly and confidently under the sunlight of Shrek Academy as a true woman.
No more concealment, no more hiding, she is Wang Dong'er, no longer the "Wang Dong" in other people's eyes.
In fact, she also wanted to wait a little longer and find a more relaxed and suitable time to reveal her true face.
But she was truly forced into a corner.
In her eyes, Jin Li's "attack" on Huo Yuhao was far too blatant, too fierce, and too direct.
Every time she saw Jin Li smiling and getting close to Huo Yuhao without any hesitation, her heart felt like a vat of vinegar had been spilled, sour and bitter, making her restless day and night.
She dared not wait any longer.
She feared that if she continued to stand beside Huo Yuhao as a "man" and maintain this distant "brotherly" relationship, Jin Li would really beat her to it.
But she was the one who arrived first. She and Huo Yuhao had known each other for several years and had lived in the same dormitory for three whole years.
She would never allow anyone to take all of this away from her.
Absolutely not!
