Chapter 130: If you're itchy, scratch it yourself; Yuhao can't cure illnesses!
"What? Isn't this what you wanted me to do? I can use my body as a bargaining chip to get my soul back."
Meng Hongchen immediately panicked.
"What are you talking about? You bad woman, you suddenly barged in and then started taking off your clothes. Who told you to do that? You're shameless!"
Using her body as a bargaining chip? Damn it, even she wouldn't dare say that. How dare you use your body as a bargaining chip for Yuhao? This person is simply terrible.
Huo Yuhao pushed Meng Hongchen's hand away, and under her blushing gaze, he said earnestly,
"Put your clothes on first. I will return your part of the soul."
Na Na, who was holding her chest with both hands, had long since turned red. Upon hearing this, she instantly showed surprise.
"Are you serious? You can't go back on your word!"
As she spoke, she put on her short skirt, hiding her somewhat pilled stockings behind her back.
"It seems you're not as bad as I thought. Since you said you'd return it to me, you must keep your promise, Huo Yuhao."
She felt that she had no secrets in front of Huo Yuhao. He knew she was a spy from the Holy Spirit Church sent to the academy, and his eyes were exceptionally clear, as if he had no hidden thoughts about her.
Well, she really had no secrets. Her body had been seen by him, but it didn't matter. As long as her soul was back, it was fine.
Huo Yuhao returned the restrained part of the soul to Na Na, and the shyness on her face had not yet faded.
"Thank you."
She felt that the part of her soul she had lost had returned, and even her soul had become more solid. She couldn't figure out how Huo Yuhao did it, but she was sensible enough not to ask too many questions.
In fact, she herself didn't know why she did that just now. It was a completely subconscious reaction. She thought that Huo Yuhao was just like most men, but now it seemed he was just a naive young man.
"If there's nothing else, you can leave. Oh, and next time, don't take off your clothes for no reason. It's very scary."
Although her figure was good, Huo Yuhao clearly didn't want to accept such a test. Who could endure that?
Na Na also knew that Huo Yuhao and the others had no ill intentions. Otherwise, knowing she was an evil Soul Master, she would have been taken away by the academy long ago and wouldn't be here now.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave. I'll challenge you again tomorrow, Huo Yuhao. I hope you can keep my secret. My soul will definitely not be confined by you again."
With that, Na Na felt a bit embarrassed to look at Meng Hongchen and Gu Yuena. At this moment, both of them were staring at her. One was pouting with an angry expression, occasionally glancing at her own chest, and the other was clutching the leftover roasted fish skewer, applying slight force.
"Oh, and your resentful spirit Soul Skill—it's best to use it less. Are you afraid others won't know you're an evil Soul Master? So stupid."
Na Na, who was already about to leave, stopped. Not knowing what she thought of, she turned her body around again.
Meng Hongchen instantly bristled like a kitten. "Hey, hey, hey, you're not going to take off your clothes again, are you? Let me tell you, I'll hit you, you know!"
What a joke. This woman couldn't possibly have bad intentions toward Yuhao, could she? Damn it, that's too much.
Gu Yuena didn't speak, but her eyes had changed. She suddenly felt that Meng Hongchen was quite good. Although she was a bit chattery and always clinging to Huo Yuhao, at least she could speak for him.
This king has no interest in looking at human women's bodies. It affects my appetite—absolutely no other reason. Yes, that's it.
Na Na, however, ignored Meng Hongchen's bristling and directly knelt after turning around.
"Huo Yuhao, I know you are the most watched genius in the Sun Moon Empire. Even the dean values you greatly. I... I want to beg you, please help me!"
Huo Yuhao couldn't understand this person's thought process. 'Seriously, I've only known you for a day, and that was through a challenge match. Do we, two strangers, have such great trust?'
Also, how did you suddenly think of asking me for help? That's just so inexplicable!
Meng Hongchen stood in front of Huo Yuhao. "You idiot! You, you, you wouldn't want Yuhao to help you with that, would you? Let me tell you, no way!"
"If there's something wrong with your head, go cure it yourself! Don't waste my time here, I'm telling you!"
Damn this woman. If she's itchy, she should scratch it herself. She's so old and yet thinks so naively. She wants to take advantage of Yuhao? No way.
Clearly, Miss Meng had already regarded Na Na, who took off her clothes without a word, as a promiscuous woman.
"I am an evil Soul Master," Na Na said.
"I can see that. So what? Are you proud? Do you want an award?"
Miss Meng went into full protective mode, and her attack power was simply boundless.
"No, this isn't what I wanted. If I could, I wouldn't want to be like this now, and even less do I want to become an emotionless puppet in the future."
"Get up first. Don't act like we're so familiar, okay?"
Huo Yuhao was speechless. Seriously, Shrek was already crazy enough—how could he encounter such a thing?
"Huo Yuhao, I'll tell you my story. I'm asking you to help me. If you are willing to help me, from now on, my life—Na Na's life—will be yours."
"I am willing to give everything for you, including my life."
She wasn't stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart. She knew that doing this might disgust Huo Yuhao, but she had to do it.
She was running out of time. Huo Yuhao was the top genius in the Sun Moon Empire. He had a background and strong protectors she couldn't imagine. Only he could help her.
She had to seize this opportunity tightly, even if it seemed a bit abnormal, even if it caused Huo Yuhao's disgust.
She couldn't care so much. With tears in her eyes, she slowly recounted her experiences and everything she went through in her youth, including how her parents died and how she became a member of the Holy Spirit Church.
"Huo Yuhao, the people of the Holy Spirit Church want to train us into puppets without personal will. They arranged for us to enter the academy because they want us to grow using the academy's resources."
"When we break through to the Soul Emperor rank, they will arrange for people like me to participate in the Spirit Ascension Ceremony. By then, all hope will be lost."
"You are the academy's top genius. You can deal with those evil Soul Masters. So, I beg you, please help me!"
She mentioned the Soul Emperor rank, but she was still far from this goal, which was why she knelt and pleaded even though Huo Yuhao wasn't yet a Soul Ancestor.
In her eyes, in the coming years, Huo Yuhao could grow even stronger or use his powerful background to eliminate those inhumane individuals.
Meng Hongchen fell silent. Huo Yuhao already knew about this person's plight, but to be honest, he wasn't willing to get involved in such troublesome matters.
However, he suddenly thought of another possibility. His Body Secret Method cultivation required stimulating his Martial Soul, and the challenge matches specifically for him at the academy served this purpose.
But ultimately, even with the facade of life-and-death stakes, the challenge matches couldn't truly put him in life-or-death situations, and their effect on stimulating his Martial Soul was minimal.
So, under this premise, could he, while ensuring his own safety, witness the level of those evil Soul Masters?
He didn't want to get involved with these lunatics, but he could deal with those guys cleanly after a battle, without alerting the Holy Spirit Church.
"I'll consider it. You can leave."
For now, he should complete the challenge matches. Although Na Na made it sound urgent, there was definitely enough time. According to the original timeline, there were at least several years left.
After the challenge matches ended, if he hadn't reached Rank 40 yet, he could play around with those Holy Spirit Church branch members.
Of course, he was only doing it for himself, and it had nothing to do with this Na Na.
Na Na knew that such matters needed careful consideration. Besides, she knew she had been a bit presumptuous today, as it was their first meeting, not even truly an acquaintance. Getting such a response was already very good.
"Huo Yuhao, thank you."
She had said that if Huo Yuhao helped her get revenge, her life would belong to him from then on, and she would never break her promise.
Na Na left, and Meng Hongchen whispered, "What is it with that woman? Taking advantage of her pitifulness to act so recklessly. It's too much."
As she spoke, she nudged Gu Yuena. "Hey, your name is Na Na too. You're not mentally unstable like her, are you?"
Gu Yuena directly launched an enormous fireball that grazed past Meng Hongchen's face.
"Call me Gu Yuena!"
"I don't care! From now on, I'll call you Na'er, since you're Grandfather's disciple!"
