"Do I look happy to you, huh? Stop the nonsense and let's go."
Nanali gritted her teeth, the silence in her heart almost deafening. Unhappy? She was far beyond just unhappy!
She was practically bursting with unhappiness!
Honestly, her young lady just had to bring her to Shrek Academy like this—it was practically delivering them straight into the enemy's hands!
Yun Ming, the world's strongest, was one thing, but then there was that old hag Long Yeyue, the Sea God Douluo and his long-time lover. Dealing with her alone would be a nightmare, let alone the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
"Miss Lan, your sister here..."
Seeing Nanali's gnashing expression, the slightly slow-witted female student hesitated. Should she really lead them forward?
Thankfully, this was within Shrek Academy. Anywhere else, dawdling like this in front of someone...
"Haha..."
"Don't worry about her. My sister here has some other matters to attend to, so she doesn't want to waste time here."
"If the Demon Emperor finds out my young lady came to Shrek Academy..."
As she followed the two, her emotions grew increasingly indescribable. If nothing happened to her young lady, fine. But if something did...
She wouldn't even get the luxury of a clean death.
The Holy Spirit Church had no kind souls. By then, whether her young lady came willingly wouldn't matter. What mattered was that she, as the Guardian, had accompanied her to Shrek Academy!
"Shrek Academy..."
"Damnable Shrek Academy!"
At this moment, Nanali's fury soared to the heavens.
This Shrek Academy...
They deserved to be bombed!
"..."
"Boss, have you heard?"
"These past couple of days, a new transfer student arrived in the outer academy. She's in the same class as Ye Hui-jie, but even Ye Hui-jie isn't her match."
A few days later, in Dragon Valley, Xie Xie and Wei Xiaofeng approached Tang Luochuan with serious expressions, murmuring.
"Oh?"
"A transfer student that strong?"
This caught Tang Luochuan off guard.
The original story hadn't mentioned any transfer students aside from Mu Xi-jie, Zi Xin, Yun'er, and Long Yue. His knowledge on the matter was sparse—he didn't even know if such a transfer student existed in the original.
But Ye Hui's talent was undeniably formidable. Aside from her, Gu Yue, and Na'er, she was practically the most likely candidate to become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
Of course, at this point, she didn't actually have such ambitions.
But someone surpassing her talent...
That was downright terrifying.
"In the original, Ye Hui was even the first among her generation of the Seven Monsters to become an Ultimate Douluo. For someone to surpass her..."
Tang Luochuan fell deep into thought.
"Yeah, apparently she's an ocean soul master, with a Martial Soul like some Deep Sea Magic Whale. Rumor has it she's from Sea God Island—the real one, where the original Shrek Seven Monsters underwent their Godhood Trials..."
Wei Xiaofeng explained slowly.
Though he had now broken through to Soul King, that didn't stop him from being the same gossip-loving kid he'd always been. He paid close attention to these things.
"You said her Martial Soul is..."
"Deep Sea Magic Whale?"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan was momentarily stunned. Meanwhile, in his mind, Tree Elder—who had taken root and sprouted in Dragon Valley—sent a message.
"My lord, the possessor of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Spirit... I sense an extraordinary aura from her. She might..."
"Not be human."
That was Tree Elder's judgment.
"Not human!"
Tang Luochuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought upon hearing this. Tree Elder had vast experience and judgment far beyond ordinary people. If he said she wasn't human, it was likely true.
But if her Martial Soul was the Deep Sea Demon Whale and she wasn't human, then her identity could only be...
"The daughter of the former Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Demon Emperor..."
"Lan Fozi?"
Tang Luochuan's gaze sharpened, a profound glint flashing in his eyes as he murmured to himself.
At this thought, he immediately withdrew from Dragon Valley and swiftly made his way to Yuanen Yehui's dormitory, pressing the doorbell.
"..."
"Luo Chuan?"
"What brings you here this time?"
Seeing the person at the door, Yuanen Yehui revealed a lovely smile and promptly invited him in.
Though she wished he would visit her even when nothing was amiss, his current demeanor suggested otherwise.
"Ye Hui, about that transfer student in your class..."
"How much do you know about her?"
Tang Luochuan spoke softly, his voice quiet.
"Hm?"
"That transfer student..."
"Her name is Lan Fozi. Her Martial Soul is a mutated Deep Sea Demon Whale. She seems to have come from the sea, with an exceptionally rare talent. Even I couldn't match her without using my Angel Spirit."
"Her cultivation is at rank 64—a 17-year-old Soul Emperor."
Hearing this, Yuanen Yehui didn't hesitate or question why Luo Chuan was asking about her. Instead, she shared everything she knew.
"..."
"I see."
Tang Luochuan responded immediately, his expression one of understanding.
Just hearing that completely unsubtle name confirmed it—it had to be her.
"That's right, Luo Chuan."
As she spoke, Yuanen Yehui recalled the battle between them, a hint of confusion surfacing in her heart.
"When she fought me, for some reason, she became even fiercer after seeing my Titan Giant Ape Spirit."
"Maybe it was just your imagination..."
Listening to Ye Hui's puzzled remark, Tang Luochuan chuckled. The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, had been of great help to Tang San. There was no way Lan Fozi wouldn't know that. Logically speaking...
Seeing Ye Hui, a descendant of Er Ming, she wouldn't hold back—it made sense she'd fight even more fiercely.
"I think so too. Oh, Luo Chuan, there are two more things I wanted to tell you..."
The next moment, Yuanen Yehui stepped forward somewhat shyly, her gaze fixed entirely on him.
"Hm?"
"What is it?"
Tang Luochuan smiled gently in response.
"I..."
"In a couple of days, could you accompany me back to my family?"
Yuanen Yehui took a deep breath, then looked at him with hopeful eyes as she asked.
It was time for her to return to the Yuanen family.
But she didn't want to go back alone. If it were truly just herself, she still wouldn't be able to bear the pressure from before. But if Luo Chuan was with her…
He was her best anchor.
"..."
"Mhm, alright."
Tang Luochuan didn't refuse. Instead, he smiled gently.
"Yay!"
Hearing this, Yuanen Yehui immediately hugged him excitedly, catching him off guard.
"And the second thing?"
Tang Luochuan held her lightly and asked.
"The second thing is..."
"I'll tell you when we get back, okay?"
Yuanen Yehui took a deep breath but ultimately seemed unable to say it. She just leaned against his chest and spoke carefully.
