Chapter 222.1. Two Goddesses?
Yan Shaozhe was thest to leave. He patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said, Yuhao, you should take this time to find suitable soul beasts. We can start our trials once you do. You have to be prepared, we have to try our best to prevent any dangers. Even though I can imagine the inner courtyards students will be enthusiastic, this is ultimately just a trial.
Yes. Huo Yuhao nodded his head seriously. The danger with contracting Spirits was self-evident, and the most important part would be the soul masters spiritual power that the pact would absorb when it was being formed. They would have to be extremely careful.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt something at this moment, and he nced sideways. He saw Wang Donger, who was looking around as she walked in his direction from the staircase.
Huo Yuhao felt a wave of warmth course over his body when he saw her, and his gaze met those huge powdery-blue eyes as he pointed outside.
The Sea Gods Pavilion wasnt a ce for billing and cooing. The elders senses were extremely powerful, and they would probably be aware of any disturbance, no matter how minor.
Wang Donger nodded in understanding, and tiptoed out of the Sea Gods Pavilion first.
Yan Shaozhe was naturally aware of this, and he smiled as he said, Go. Wang Donger is powerful, shes the future heir to the Clear Sky Sect, and thats enough to match you. You have to be good to her.
Huo Yuhao blushed a little, and he nodded hurriedly before bidding farewell and stepping outside.
Wang Donger was waiting at the entrance. She wore a long light-blue dress today, which matched her flowing blue hair. Her exceptional beauty caused the Sea Gods Pavilions originally enchanting scenery to lose its splendor. She was like the brilliant and riveting sun, and even just standing there, she could dim all the light in the world.
Youre just so pretty, Donger, Huo Yuhao blurted out in admiration.
Wang Donger rolled her eyes and said, Did you only realize that today?
Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, Of course not, except youve been calling yourself a guy before this, so how could I have such reveries? Its different now.
Here. Wang Donger took out a small cloth bag from somewhere. The outeryer was white, and it was clean and spotless.
Huo Yuhao took the bag, and realized it was warm. He opened it and saw two steamed buns inside, along with two deshelled eggs. The eggs were from a bird-type soul beast, withpletely transparent egg-whites, looking like frozen water crystals. They were extremely nutritious, while the two steamed buns had vegetables and pieces of meat inside.
Go ahead. I know you havent eaten yet, Wang Donger whispered.
Huo Yuhao didnt restrain himself, and he picked up an egg and popped it into his mouth. What he ate wasnt important; it was the thought that was important. Wang Dongers scrupulousness made him warm all over, and whatever he ate tasted as delicious as could be.
They gobbled down the food in a few mouthfuls, and drank some water from a waterskin Wang Donger handed him. Huo Yuhao immediately felt better and more rxed with food in his stomach.
Youre so nice, Donger.
Wang Donger giggled and said, Why do I feel like youre so stupid?
Huo Yuhao said indifferently, It doesnt matter if Im stupid, as long as you dont turn your back on me because of that.
No, no, I wont. Lets go. Wang Donger grasped his hand and started walking away.
Where are we going? Huo Yuhao asked, confused at the sudden switch.
Wang Donger said, We are going to look for that Wang Qiuer! I asked about it when I woke up this morning. Today is the reporting day for the new batch of inner courtyard students who have just passed the examination, so she will definitely show up if she managed to pass the assessment.
Ugh You still remember that? Id already forgotten about it. Huo Yuhao actually had forgotten about it; Wang Donger was all that was in his mindst night. He had then been called out early in the morning for a conference, so he couldnt really be bothered about anything else.
Wang Donger replied, You cant just forget about something like that. We have to figure it out before anything else.
Huo Yuhao naturally followed her, and the two of them walked on. Wang Donger lowered her voice and asked as they strolled along, You guys were talking about Spirits during the conference held inside the Sea Gods Pavilion?
Yes, Huo Yuhao nodded as he answered. I discussed and detailed the identity of Spirits during the conference, and I gave the Spirit Pact Sealing Spell to the academy.
You passed it on to the academy? Wang Donger was taken aback, but she quickly recovered and nodded. Its better if you pass it to the academy. Our academy is trustworthy, and I think it will help lift the pressure off your shoulders.
Huo Yuhao stared at her with a look of pleasant surprise. Youre really the roundworm inside my stomach! How did you know that was what I thought, too?
Psh, youre so disgusting. Youre the roundworm! Wang Donger smiled radiantly, and the dimples on her face bloomed like flowers. Her bright smile was filled with pride.
Huo Yuhao gasped in amazement This is chemistry! What more can a husband ask for in his wife?
Whos your wife?
Who do you think?
Hmph!
They were bickering, but their hands had been tightly wound around each other from the beginning to the end. Huo Yuhao hadnt slept properlyst night, but neither had Wang Donger. After the night, they still felt a little unfamiliar with their current statuses, but they were starting to get closer to the chemistry that they used to have. Their bodies were bing closer, and so were their hearts. The feeling where the results flowed naturally when circumstances were right seemed to have arrived.
The new inner courtyard students were supposed to report to the outer courtyard rather than the inner courtyard. In the end, only those students whose identities had been confirmed could be brought into the inner courtyard.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger didnt need the ferry. They soared into the sky, and the wings of Wang Dongs Radiant Butterfly Goddess extended outwards while Huo Yuhao stepped on thekes surface and pushed off from it to propel them forward.
What made him a little surprised was that the ice formed fromst nights Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice hadnt meltedpletely, and the two of them crossed the Sea Gods Lake in no time. However, Huo Yuhaos expression became a little dull.
They were just starting out in their rtionship, so their thoughts and senses were the most sensitive. Wang Donger immediately detected the change in his emotions and asked, Whats wrong?
Huo Yuhao heaved a faint sigh and said, Do you still remember when we met her on the shore? She flew across Sea Gods Lake from the inner courtyard just like that, and now we have the same ability. Shes been missing for such a long time. Therere still no news about her.
Wang Dongers expression grew a little sullen when she heard Huo Yuhao mention Ma Xiaotao. She sighed and said, Yes! I wonder how shes doing. Im afraid she
Huo Yuhao raised his hand to signal her to stop talking. He had the same intense anxiety and worry in his heart, but he truly didnt want to hear about that possibility.
Wang Donger knew where the new inner courtyard students were supposed to report, and she brought Huo Yuhao to the outer courtyards senior grade school block, where they proceeded straight to arge ssroom.
It was already lesson time. The outer courtyard looked extremely tranquil, and most of the students were currently taking lessons. However, there were some who were still outside.
There was a ss currently having a sparring session in Shrek za. As Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger held hands and walked across the za, the students that were only twelve or thirteen years old stared and ogled Wang Donger.
Wow, shes so pretty! Shes so pretty! Guys, look!
Eh, why are they holding hands? They must be seniors.
Shes just so beautiful. The color of her hair is so nice.
Huo Yuhao could naturally hear their discussions, and he chuckled as he said, Donger, I think you should wear a veil over your face the next time youe out. Youre already so stunning and enchanting inside the academy. If we go outside, we might even attract some trouble.
Wang Dongerughed and said, Youll be around even if theres trouble, no? What, you dont like that Im so pretty?
Huo Yuhao stared at the mischievous smile on her face, and he really wanted to kiss her.
Stop right there! Im talking about the two of you! A deep and serious voice suddenly rang out, which actually shocked both Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger. When they looked up, they could see a teacher that was about fifty years old blocking their way, and he was currently ring at them with a draconian expression.
Greetings, teacher. Whats the problem? Huo Yuhao hurriedly asked politely.
The male teacher pointed at their connected hands and lowered his voice as he said, What year are you from? What ss are you from? Look at you guys, what is this? Were still inside the academy, and this is the example you want to set for the younger students? What if you teach them the wrong things? I will report this to the teachers, so that you will be punished ordingly.
Uh! Both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were rooted to the spot. They were still bickering like lovebirds before this, and hadnt noticed this point at all. Yes! Most of the outer courtyards students were still kids.
Huo Yuhao hurriedly released Wang Dongers hand and bowed respectfully to the teacher before he wore an apologetic look and said, Im sorry, teacher. We are in the wrong, and we promise that this wont happen again in the future. Please forgive us.
The teachers dark and gloomy face regained some color as he said, You guys are too brazen. This is Shrek Academy, and I imagine its not your first or second day at the academy judging by your age. How can you be so unruly? You have to be punished. Tell me, what ss are you two from? Send someone to find your teacher, and only then can you leave. Your teacher will bring you back.
Perhaps it was because of teacher Zhou Yi, but even though this male teacher was strict and unforgiving, Huo Yuhao could feel an unspeakable closeness. Furthermore, this teacher was right. He didnt talk further about punishment after Huo Yuhaos apology, so that meant he was cold on the outside, but warm on the inside.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger hadnt had any lessons in the outer courtyard since thest bigpetition. They felt extremely nostalgic when they suddenly felt the outer courtyard once again.
Wang Donger touched Huo Yuhao and asked, Ill go?
Huo Yuhao nodded, and made a gesture with his chin. Wang Donger immediately understood, and she bowed lightly to the male teacher before she walked away briskly.
The male teacher noticed that their attitudes were not bad, and his temper had calmed down considerably. He shouted at the students watching the show from the side. What are you looking at?! Continue sparring! Dont let me catch anyone cking off!
