Chapter 212 Wang Dong is about to reveal his "true colors".
Looking at Huo Yuhao so close to him, Wang Dong could even feel the other's breath.
The warm breath brushed against his face, carrying an indescribable ambiguity that made his heart race.
His ears turned even redder, the red spreading down his neck, even tinging his fair collarbone with a faint pink hue.
He took two steps back, putting distance between himself and Huo Yuhao.
His movements were somewhat flustered, and his steps were unsteady, as if he would be overtaken by some ferocious beast if he slowed down even a step.
Wang Dong had to admit that after spending a lot of time with Huo Yuhao, he had indeed become attracted to him.
This seemingly handsome young man possesses an irresistible charm.
Moreover, if two male and female Soul Masters possess a Soul Fusion Skill, they will almost always end up together.
Seeing the love letters Huo Yuhao had received, Wang Dong was indeed jealous.
But since he now presents himself as a male, he naturally cannot admit it.
"snort!"
Wang Dong snorted and looked at Huo Yuhao, a complex emotion flashing in his big pink and blue eyes.
"I'm not jealous."
He then quickly changed the subject: "Since you don't like her, just reject her directly and don't accept these love letters."
Wang Dong knew that although Huo Yuhao had received many love letters, he had never contacted any of the girls.
He accepted the letters but never opened them, and he never reciprocated their sentiments, which brought him some peace of mind.
Seeing the expression on Wang Dong's face, Huo Yuhao smiled.
His voice was calm and unhurried, with a hint of seriousness: "They came with good intentions; it would be too heartless to refuse them outright."
"If I don't reply, they'll naturally understand what I mean, and I think it's better to let things take their course like this."
Wang Dong glanced at Huo Yuhao, curled his lip, and snorted, "You certainly know how to be chivalrous."
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "That's what happens when you're a kind person."
He knew that Wang Dong had come to see him specifically because he had something to discuss with him.
Given Wang Dong's personality, he wouldn't come over to be sarcastic and sarcastic unless there was something wrong.
So he then asked, "What brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's expression turned serious, and a rare solemnity appeared on his refined face.
She looked at Huo Yuhao, a hint of anticipation flashing in her large, pinkish-blue eyes, and said, "I'm going to the Star Dou Great Forest in a couple of days to obtain a spirit ring. Do you want to come along?"
"You're finally going to break through! I thought I'd have to wait until the holidays."
Huo Yuhao sighed. Wang Dong's soul power reached level 40 two months ago, but he had not yet acquired a soul ring.
According to Shrek Academy's theory, this period of reflection is not a waste.
Accumulate more before breaking through, and your soul power might increase by one level directly after obtaining a soul ring.
Huo Yuhao nodded without hesitation: "Okay, just call me anytime."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's face brightened even more. In her large, pinkish-blue eyes, anticipation turned into joy, and joy into elation.
Her voice was light and clear as she said, "Then it's settled."
Wang Dong left with a smile, but after only a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
She turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao again, a hint of cunning and a hint of shyness flashing in her beautiful pink and blue eyes.
Her voice rose a few decibels, yet carried a deliberately casual tone: "Since none of the female classmates in the academy are to your liking, I'll introduce my older sister to you during the holidays."
Looking at Wang Dong's beautiful pinkish-blue eyes, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.
He then said, "Well, judging by your looks, your twin sister is a real beauty."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's face flushed even more.
At the same time, a surge of joy welled up in her heart.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
After leaving those words, Wang Dong turned and left again.
Seeing his light steps and slightly raised shoulders, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile.
He thought to himself, "There's no such thing as a 'sister' here; it seems the real Wang Dong is about to 'reveal her true form'!"
……
The morning sun shone on the earth, enveloping the entire Shrek Academy in a gentle warmth.
Golden rays of light poured down from the east, casting dappled shadows on the walls of the teaching building.
A light rain fell last night, and the air today is fresh and slightly cool, carrying the scent of earth and grass, which invigorates the spirit.
After having breakfast, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong walked along the main road of the academy to the east gate.
Two days ago, the two agreed to go to the Star Dou Great Forest together to obtain a spirit ring for Wang Dong, and today is the day they set off.
The two stopped at the city gate and waited for the academy's teachers to appear.
When Shrek Academy students hunt for Souls, they are always accompanied by teachers from the academy.
Before long, a figure appeared in their line of sight.
He was tall, and his gray outfit accentuated his robust physique.
Her long white hair was draped behind her head, swaying gently in the morning breeze.
Her long white hair was draped behind her head, swaying gently in the morning breeze.
He walked steadily and soon arrived in front of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
Meeting the other person's yellowish-brown eyes, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown.
"Elder Xuan, is that you?"
Huo Yuhao's voice carried a hint of surprise.
If Wang Dong were the only one hunting souls today, the academy might have sent a Soul Douluo or an ordinary Title Douluo teacher to protect him.
After all, Wang Dong only needs his fourth spirit ring now, and doesn't need to venture into the dangerous areas of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A single Contra player could easily handle such a task.
However, because Huo Yuhao, the academy's "heart and soul," was involved this time, the protective measures were raised to the highest level.
Huo Yuhao is now the academy's darling and the future hope of Shrek Academy.
He cannot be allowed to have any problems, not even the slightest one.
Therefore, the academy must send its strongest protectors to ensure his safety.
Yan Shaozhe had previously suggested that Xuanzi act as a bodyguard, but Huo Yuhao refused outright.
His reason was that although Elder Xuan's cultivation was high, he couldn't trust him because such a big mistake had occurred when he led the team on the last surveillance mission.
This reason is reasonable and Yan Shaozhe cannot refute it.
Yan Shaozhe had readily agreed, saying he would have another teacher accompany him.
I thought other teachers would be accompanying her today, but Xuanzi came instead!
Huo Yuhao frowned even more deeply as he looked at the white-haired old man before him, a complex emotion welling up inside him that he couldn't quite put his finger on.
Having experienced the "Messenger of Death" incident, Xuanzi seems to have "repented and reformed."
From then on, he stopped carrying chicken legs and wine jugs all day long, and his clothes became neat and his hair was combed.
He was no longer as slovenly as before, and now he actually had the air of a senior academy student.
But having learned from past mistakes, Huo Yuhao was able to face the academy's elder with such an expression.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, Xuanzi did not get angry.
A complex emotion flickered in those earthy yellow eyes.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
If it weren't for Huo Yuhao's heroic efforts in the competition, and if Shrek Academy had truly lost its millennia-long reign as number one, he would truly be a sinner against Shrek Academy.
Therefore, when facing Huo Yuhao, the student who helped him "clean up his mess," Xuanzi could not put on the airs of an elder of the academy.
Just as he was about to say something, another figure darted out from the academy gate.
She had a tall and straight posture and looked to be around fifty years old, but her appearance was very well maintained and she didn't look old at all.
Her long, black hair was neatly coiled at the back of her head, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck.
Her eyes were sharp as knives, her face was cold as frost, and she exuded the majesty of someone who had long held a high position, giving people a heroic and dashing feeling.
"Dean Xian? What brings you here?"
Wang Dong exclaimed in surprise.
Because the person who came was none other than Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy!
