Chapter 89 Huo Yuhao is dumbfounded! Good brother, you're really a woman?
The image above the sky was frozen on Huo Yuhao's face, which was filled with blankness and absurdity.
Beyond the sky, the awe-inspiring darkness was no less striking than the boy in the scene.
On the streets of the underworld, the previously noisy discussions eerily subsided for a few seconds, before erupting into a clamor ten times louder than before.
"Wang Dong is... a woman? How is that possible!"
"If Wang Dong is a woman, then wouldn't Huo Yuhao be..."
Everyone's gaze turned in unison towards the Shrek Academy in the Dark World.
In the underworld, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong not only shared a dormitory, but also often slept in the same bed because they were both training in martial soul fusion techniques.
Although they haven't done anything inappropriate due to their young age, physical contact, hugs, and even sleeping side by side are already commonplace.
"If that's true, Huo Yuhao has really gotten the best deal!"
In a corner of Shrek Academy, Black Huo Yuhao stood frozen in place, as if petrified.
He stared intently at the sky, but the image of accidentally stumbling upon Wang Dong taking a bath involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Although it was just a fleeting glance, he remembered it clearly: Wang Dong's skin was excessively fair, and his figure was much slimmer than that of an ordinary boy.
At the time, he only thought that Wang Dong was a pampered child from a prestigious family, but now, considering the content of the sky screen, those feelings of incongruity suddenly became clear.
Huo Yuhao's face flushed red to his ears at a visible speed. He stiffly turned his head, looking at Wang Dong beside him, who was also silent and even looked somewhat uneasy, and asked in a trembling voice, "Wang Dong... good brother, tell me honestly... you're not really a woman, are you?"
Wang Dong did not answer immediately. She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes darting around, and her extreme unease spoke volumes.
[In the scene depicted on the sky, Bai Huoyuhao is still making a final struggle.]
He loudly replied to Bai Zhouyi, "Teacher Zhou, there's a limit to jokes! Although Wang Dong is indeed quite good-looking, his behavior and tone of voice don't seem like those of a girl at all!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhouyi laughed out of anger. She crossed her arms and retorted irritably, "Have you even checked before you jump to this conclusion? Did you examine his body, or did you peep on him while he showers?"
Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment, stammering, "Well...no, that's not true. But it's impossible no matter how you look at it."
"Impossible?" Bai Zhouyi's expression turned serious. She pointed at Huo Yuhao's forehead and scolded, "Huo Yuhao, it seems I really have to punish you. You've been so focused on cultivating your soul power and soul tools lately that you haven't bothered to learn any of the basic knowledge about the different types of martial souls!"
Zhou Yi walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a thick blue book, and slammed it heavily on the desk: "Right now, go and turn to this 'Martial Soul Compendium,' page 180. That page describes the 'Goddess of Light Butterfly' martial soul. Read it aloud right here: what is the most distinctive feature of this martial soul?!"
Huo Yuhao was intimidated by Zhou Yi's sternness. He obediently stepped forward and opened the book that smelled of ink.
After finding page 180, his finger hovered over a line of bold text.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and read aloud the words from the book: "The Goddess of Light Butterfly, a top-tier light-attribute martial soul on the continent. Its greatest characteristic and absolute limitation is—throughout history, only women have possessed this martial soul. Men have absolutely no chance of awakening it."
After reading this, Huo Yuhao froze.
He slowly turned his head to look at Wang Dong, who was standing to the side, too embarrassed to know where to put his hands.
"So...you really are a woman?" Huo Yuhao's voice was filled with a sense of disbelief and existential dread.
Seeing that his scheme had been completely exposed, Wang Dong knew there was no point in continuing to conceal it.
She sighed helplessly, shrugged at Bai Zhouyi, then wiped her hands across her chest, removing the disguise maintained by a special soul tool.
[Buzz—!]
A soft blue-purple light flashed, and the once dashing short-haired boy vanished.
Instead, a beautiful young woman with long, wavy, light blue hair and exquisitely delicate features appeared.
She stood there, and even in her simple school uniform, her ethereal beauty was undeniable.
Huo Yuhao was completely stunned; his mouth hung open, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Xiao Xiao, standing to the side, was also stunned. She circled around Wang Dong and asked in bewilderment, "Wang Dong, you're so beautiful, even more beautiful than any girl I've ever seen. Why do you go through all this trouble to pretend? Isn't it better to just be a pretty girl?"
Wang Dong pursed his lips, his tone full of complaint: "Do you think I want to? But my eldest and second uncles insist that I do it."
"They said the outside world is too dangerous, and girls are easily taken advantage of when they go out, so they insisted I dress up as a boy. I'm speechless. With my personality, who could let me suffer?"
Wang Dong glanced around, still shaken, and continued, "So, Shrek Academy uses a single-room dormitory system, and I have a room all to myself."
"Otherwise, according to my uncles' arrangement, wouldn't I have to be assigned to a dorm with the boys? I really don't know what they're thinking; aren't they pushing me into a fire pit?"
As the voice faded, the Soul Masters of the Underworld fell into a long silence once again, before erupting in an unprecedented outcry of complaints.
"Did you hear that? Wang Dong's cross-dressing was arranged by her eldest and second uncles!"
"The problem is, in our underworld, Wang Dong not only disguised herself as a man, but was also assigned to Huo Yuhao's dormitory, and even had to share a bed with Huo Yuhao!"
"This isn't protecting their daughter; it's clearly an attempt to get rid of her as soon as possible!"
"What were his two fathers thinking? This arrangement is so unreliable! If Huo Yuhao gets any bad ideas, wouldn't Wang Dong's life be ruined?"
The Soul Masters in the underworld felt increasingly uneasy, wondering what her two fathers were up to.
And at this very moment.
Within the realm of gods.
Xiao Wu, who was originally observing the sky, completely went berserk after hearing Bai Wangdong's complaint about her eldest and second fathers.
She stood up abruptly, her once gentle face now filled with anger.
"Da Ming! Er Ming!"
"So it was you who did it?"
You're all finished!
