"Our exclusive uniforms, masks, cloaks, and even distress signal flares—all are fully equipped."
"When we carry out monitoring missions, we can't let others see our real faces, so as not to affect our future lives. That's why we must wear masks."
"And most importantly—the signal flares. These are unique to us. Whenever a monitor encounters danger and releases one, as long as any Shrek Academy student sees it—whether from the Inner Court or the Outer Court—they'll immediately rush to assist. Its effect is far greater than you might imagine."
Ma Xiaotao patiently explained to everyone.
At the end, her gaze focused on Huo Yuhao.
"Remember—ensuring your own safety always comes first."
This scene, of course, fell right into the eyes of Wang Dong and the others.
"Damn it! That Huo Yuhao guy—just because Senior Sister developed faster than us, he's already totally bewitched?"
"Hmph! Once I've grown up, my figure will definitely surpass Senior Sister Xiaotao's!"
"Exactly! When that time comes, Huo Yuhao will regret it! That stupid dog of a man!"
…
The whispers behind him naturally reached Huo Yuhao's sharp ears.
But he remained completely calm, unfazed.
So many girls bickering over him—what did that mean?
It meant he was doing something right!
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's explanation continued.
"Our current monitoring mission is to travel to the mountain region at the border between the Xingluo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire to locate and eliminate a group of bandits. The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament is approaching, so we must complete this mission within three to four days."
"These bandits are extremely cruel and cunning. They specialize in ambushing merchants traveling between the two nations, leaving no survivors—burning, looting, murdering—there's no evil they haven't committed."
"The mountain terrain where they hide is complex and steep, filled with caves perfect for concealment, making it hard for armies to attack. What's worse, the mountain area is split—part of it belongs to the Sun Moon Empire, and part to the Xingluo Empire."
"The two empires have always had strained relations. In this situation, joint operations are almost impossible. Whenever one side dispatches troops, those cunning bastards just flee across the border into the other country."
"There was even a time when they caused a small-scale conflict between the two empires. And even now, they're still alive and well. Numbers mean nothing—there are fewer than three hundred of them, but they know the terrain inside out, sly and deceitful. That's why a small team like ours is better suited to deal with them."
"They call themselves the Messengers of Death. It's said their leader is a powerful Evil Soul Master."
"So, we absolutely cannot take them lightly. Let me emphasize—our mission target this time is total annihilation. Leave none alive. These bandits have no elderly, no women, no children—there isn't a single decent person among them."
Hearing that they had to wipe out the entire bandit group, Huo Yuhao felt a faint thrill rising in his heart.
So... he was finally going to try killing someone for the first time?
But while excitement filled him, the six girls behind him had gone pale.
Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and the others were only around twelve years old. Hearing the words "kill them all," their hearts pounded in fear.
Ma Xiaotao noticed all their reactions clearly.
For girls, this mission was indeed harsh—but early exposure would only help forge their resolve.
If they kept running from it, how would they ever grow?
Would an enemy spare them just because they were girls?
"Don't be too scared," Ma Xiaotao said reassuringly. "The main combat will be handled by the seven of us. You'll assist from the sidelines—and more importantly, protect yourselves."
"These bandits are arrogant—they even gave themselves the team name 'The Hand of Death.' In that vast mountain region, whenever people hear that name or 'Messengers of Death,' they tremble in fear."
"Before departure, we already informed the Xingluo Empire garrison near the Mingdou Mountains. They'll provide us with detailed maps and accurate intelligence."
Then, Ma Xiaotao began assigning the teams.
"Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian, the others—follow me."
"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and the rest—follow Dai Yaoheng."
Ever since Ma Xiaotao began explaining the mission, Elder Xuan hadn't spoken again.
It was both a sign of his trust in her leadership and a test for her growth. This mission was their final rehearsal before the tournament.
Just as Ma Xiaotao finished assigning groups, Wang Dong suddenly spoke up.
"I want Senior Sister Ma to take me!"
Then she darted forward, standing proudly beside Ma Xiaotao. "Senior Sister Ma, I admire you the most! Please take me with you!"
Ma Xiaotao blinked, then smiled. "Alright, I'll take you. Dai Yaoheng—you take Huo Yuhao. Let's move."
With that, she wrapped her arm around Wang Dong, leaped up, and shot off swiftly.
Huo Yuhao, however, said he didn't need to be carried. He just needed someone to lead the way—he could keep up himself.
He grabbed Ning Tian with one hand and Wu Feng with the other, and jumped high into the air.
At that moment, Ning Tian's face flushed pink. Though Huo Yuhao was holding her, his hand seemed… to be in the wrong place.
But with so many people around, she couldn't bring herself to say anything…
Her face reddened further. She took a deep breath, intending to signal him with her eyes.
But when she looked up, she met Huo Yuhao's amused, teasing smile.
Boom!
In that instant, Ning Tian understood everything.
"He… did it on purpose!"
But before she could react, Huo Yuhao leaned close to her ear, whispering softly—
"So soft and dense~"
Ning Tian's mind went completely blank. She couldn't think anymore.
At the side, Wu Feng saw this scene and immediately flared up.
"Huo Yuhao! Stop bullying Ning Tian! If you've got guts, pick on me instead!"
Provoked like that, Huo Yuhao naturally shifted his grip.
Moments later, Wu Feng's face was flushed, her small mouth breathing out hot air.
Huo Yuhao looked at her playfully.
"How about now? Still got something to say?"
"Hmph! That's all you've got, Huo Yuhao? Pathetic!"
Huo Yuhao chuckled.
"Small frame, big temper."
"You—!!"
…
Meanwhile, in Ma Xiaotao's arms, Wang Dong wore a triumphant grin. In her mind, she had perfectly disrupted whatever intimate moment might've happened between Huo Yuhao and Senior Sister Ma. Wasn't that a victory?
Her plan was flawless! Surely by now, Huo Yuhao—deprived of Senior Sister's embrace—must be suffering in silent agony.
Wang Dong smirked proudly.
But when she turned her head… she saw Huo Yuhao in the distance, carrying two girls and looking utterly content.
Wang Dong froze.
"Huo! Yu! Hao!!"
…
And thus, it was another day of Wang Dong's complete mental collapse.
