Heh, quite spirited. Seeing the little Snow Demon was frightened, Huo Yuhao chuckled inwardly. He didn't tease it further, instead putting it and the cage into the Embrace of the Heart and Stars.
"Let's go." At this moment, the auction house staff returned the Gold Soul Card. Huo Yuhao took it, and he and Wang Qiu'er prepared to leave.
However, just as they left the Starlight Auction House, Huo Yuhao saw someone he knew. Wang Yan and the Shrek Academy team had also just come out of the auction house.
The Shrek Academy team also noticed Huo Yuhao. They were silent, and no one greeted him. It was this person who had created Shrek Academy's disgrace, but he relied on his own strength, defeating them openly and honestly. Therefore, Shrek Academy had nothing to say.
Neither hostility nor friendliness, this was the attitude of the Shrek Academy team towards Huo Yuhao.
Of course, there was one exception. Xu Sanshi's gaze became extremely venomous and hateful the moment he saw Huo Yuhao. It was this person who had nearly killed him, causing him to lose face in front of Nannan, and during the Soul Master Tournament.
Huo Yuhao seemed to sense something. His gaze immediately fell on Xu Sanshi, who was behind the Shrek Academy team. He was slightly surprised. As expected of the Immortal Doctor Douluo, he was beaten half to death by me, and he's already bouncing around again?
It seems I was too soft. I'm still too kind. Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly, not bothering to pay attention to that waste, Xu Sanshi. He turned to the woman in a water-blue dress among the group, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, you're the ones who bid on the Ice-Blue Scorpion Left Arm Bone, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "What do you mean by that?" Wang Yan actually believed that those lunatics from the Hall of the Body would do something like kill and steal treasures, but considering Elder Xuan, he relaxed a little.
"Hehe, don't be nervous. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. The Ice-Blue Scorpion's soul bone can't be absorbed unless you have an ultimate ice martial soul. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe, oh."
After saying this, Huo Yuhao left directly. This could be considered a well-intentioned reminder. Whether the Shrek Academy group believed it or not was no longer his concern. Furthermore, if he acted too enthusiastically, they might think he was eyeing their soul bone.
In fact, that was the case. Huo Yuhao's words made Ling Luochen's expression stiffen, and she started to worry. She had a feeling that Huo Yuhao might not be exaggerating. Besides, Huo Yuhao's second martial soul was the Ice-Blue Scorpion, so he was likely very familiar with this type of soul beast.
Wang Yan thought even more. When Huo Yuhao said that, his first thought was whether it was a trap set by Huo Yuhao. But he immediately dismissed this thought. Huo Yuhao should know that even if they didn't absorb the soul bone, they wouldn't easily trade it to others. Ultimately, Wang Yan decided to ask Elder Xuan for advice before making a decision.
Putting this matter aside, Wang Yan's expression darkened as he watched Wang Qiu'er leave with Huo Yuhao. A student was poached. Thinking about Huo Yuhao and Jiang Nannan's interaction at the auction earlier, could it be that that girl also…
Wang Yan didn't want to think about it anymore. But, come to think of it, why hadn't he seen Jiang Nannan tonight? For some reason, a bad feeling welled up in Wang Yan's heart.
Dai Yaohang stared silently at the two figures in front of him, who were gradually becoming hazy. The three brothers all liked the same woman, what a mess.
"Why are you still following me? Shouldn't you be going back?" After walking for a while, Huo Yuhao frowned when he saw that Wang Qiu'er showed no sign of leaving. As a core student of Shrek Academy, she shouldn't be getting too close to him.
"I'll withdraw from the academy when I go back. What do you think? Would you welcome me if I went to your Hall of the Body?" Wang Qiu'er's smile was radiant, and her eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao, filled with a hint of anticipation.
Huo Yuhao's gaze narrowed, then he shook his head slightly. "You don't need to do that. Actually, if it weren't for the issue of our different standings, I would prefer the environment of Shrek Academy." His implication was that she should just stay at Shrek Academy; there was no need for her to come to him.
If Jiang Nannan were here, she would definitely scold Huo Yuhao for being two-faced.
Wang Qiu'er's expression faltered. Is this guy really dumb or just pretending? Haven't I made my feelings clear enough?
Seeing the woman in a daze, Huo Yuhao turned and left directly. This woman's circle is too dangerous; it's best to avoid too much contact.
After taking two steps, Huo Yuhao hesitated and turned back. "If possible, I hope you can keep your distance from the Dai family. Consider it a request from me, okay?"
Logically, with Wang Qiu'er's identity, she shouldn't easily fall for a human. But who could say for sure? Just look at those transformed soul beasts from the original story.
Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor; Xiao Wu, the Soft Bone Rabbit; Wang Qiu'er, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni; Sky Dream Ice Silkworm; Gu Yue Na; and Bai Xiuxiu. Sometimes, the emotions of soul beasts are more sincere than those of humans. Perhaps it's due to their upbringing, or perhaps it's their nature, but it's a fact.
Huo Yuhao was really worried that Wang Qiu'er would develop feelings for the Dai brothers after spending too much time with them. Even friendship wouldn't do. Wang Qiu'er's background was too terrifying. If this girl were to be "kidnapped" by the Dai family, how would he ever get his revenge?
Of course, Huo Yuhao also knew that deep down, he didn't want to see Wang Qiu'er fall for someone else. He didn't accept her advances, yet he didn't want her to pursue her own happiness either. It was selfish, but it was a true reflection of Huo Yuhao's inner thoughts.
Huo Yuhao had also sensed a hint of something, which was why he didn't want to have any more contact with Wang Qiu'er. He knew that he had already been seen as a pawn, and if Wang Qiu'er got too close to him, it would inevitably be a tragedy.
"Oh, are you worried that I'll fall for your two brothers?" Wang Qiu'er's voice turned cold as she walked closer to Huo Yuhao.
"Weren't you very confident? Back at the academy, didn't you think I liked you?"
Before long, Wang Qiu'er was right in front of Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao was silent, feeling a little embarrassed. He had really thrown away his pride back then to drive this girl away.
"Didn't you want to get on me back then? What, are you afraid now?"
Huo Yuhao was sweating profusely. What kind of bold words were these? This girl really said anything and everything, and there were so many people around. Huo Yuhao quickly released his mental power to isolate the outside world, preventing those around them from hearing further.
Just as Huo Yuhao was feeling awkward, Wang Qiu'er suddenly tiptoed up, offering her fragrant lips. Their lips met, and a soft sensation washed over him.
Huo Yuhao was stunned. What was going on with this girl? Why was she suddenly being so proactive? Was this really the she-devil he knew?
After a brief moment of daze, Huo Yuhao, as if guided by a ghost, reached out and pulled Wang Qiu'er into his embrace, responding passionately.
Huo Yuhao had isolated the sound with his mental power, but it didn't stop the onlookers from seeing. Seeing the two of them kissing in the street, the surrounding crowd of onlookers pointed and whispered, their expressions like seasoned drivers.
But the two of them seemed oblivious, unaffected by the surroundings. It wasn't until they were struggling to breathe that Huo Yuhao suddenly snapped back to his senses and quickly pushed Wang Qiu'er away.
A hint of a smile flashed in Wang Qiu'er's eyes. She reached out and gently embraced Huo Yuhao, whispering, "I don't know what's wrong with me. You did such awful things to me, and I was really angry. But when I see you, I feel uneasy. Seeing you smile makes me happy, and seeing you hurt makes me uncomfortable. Later, you left without saying goodbye, and I started to regret it. I thought we would never see each other again, but then you came to the Soul Master Tournament."
