In an instant.
Hu Liena grew nervous upon hearing Su Chen's question.
What god?
This was bad.
Su Chen knew the continent like the back of his hand. If she just blurted something out, wouldn't she be exposed immediately?
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan watched Hu Liena quietly. Their attitudes were indifferent; it didn't matter to them whether they were exposed or not. They'd follow their big sister's lead.
"Keep it a secret!" Hu Liena finally spat out those two words.
"Heh?"
Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Perhaps Hu Liena didn't sense anything, but Ye Lingling felt something was off.
Su Chen was acting strange!
Hu Liena said seriously:
"My Godhood is very powerful. That's precisely why it must be kept secret; I can't tell anyone!"
Su Chen nodded, turned his head to Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, and said: "You two should learn from her. Look, Nana already has a Godhood inheritance."
The two of them: ??? In their hearts, they were thinking, are you talking about a Godhood from a doujinshi? Ye Lingling immediately said with a serious expression:
"Su Chen, actually, I haven't told you all yet, but I've also received a Godhood inheritance and started my God test."
"I also have to... keep it a secret!"
After saying this, she glanced at Hu Liena, helping her elder sister cover up the lie. Otherwise, when her level was later exposed, there would be no way to explain it.
Dugu Yan was dumbfounded at this point.
So you two are playing it like this, huh?
Fine!
Dugu Yan continued to fabricate:
"Su Chen, actually, I also accepted a Godhood inheritance. You forgot that my soul rings have all been upgraded to the thousand-year level."
"I'll keep it a secret too!"
Hu Liena looked at these two sisters, and was very satisfied!
Su Chen was completely numb at this moment.
Alright, alright!
So you all want to play it this way, huh?
Su Chen said in all seriousness:
"Actually, I've also received a Godhood inheritance."
"If all goes according to plan, my Godhood should be even more powerful than yours, and this Godhood inheritance of mine also needs to be kept secret! My God is male, while all your Gods are female!"
The four people on the scene silently ate their meals.
Su Chen had already determined that the three were acting strangely. Ye Lingling had also determined that Su Chen was not right. However, Hu Liena and Dugu Yan were still in a state of confusion.
Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong waited until the group returned and quickly went up to pull Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Why did you take so long to come back? What were you doing?"
Xiao Wu hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
Zhu Zhuqing whispered, "I'll tell you later."
"Hmph!"
Dai Mubai sneered, "Why are you giving that high-and-mighty princess so much attention?"
Ning Rongrong's expression immediately darkened, and she retorted:
"None of your damn business!"
"You spineless, incompetent scum!"
"You're asking for it!"
Dai Mubai had been kicked flying by Hu Liena earlier that day, and he'd been holding back a lot of anger. Plus, Zhu Zhuqing's attitude towards Su Chen was unclear, and she wasn't even paying attention to him.
This made Dai Mubai's anger even worse, and he was looking for a place to vent it.
Just as he was about to make a move,
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing stood in front of Ning Rongrong.
"Dai Mubai!"
"If you've got the guts, go fight Su Chen. What's the point of bullying Rongrong?"
Dai Mubai ground his teeth in anger, his eyes filled with hatred.
Damn it!
How are these three women so close?
Tang San is such a waste!
Clearly, he and Xiao Wu have a special relationship, and yet! He still let Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing steal Xiao Wu away?
Ning Rongrong looked surprised and said:
"Su Chen?"
Huh?
Dai Mubai suddenly looked at Ning Rongrong, and Tang San and the others also looked over, as if Ning Rongrong knew this person.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly helped to explain: "Su Chen is someone we met today. He has three women with him, one of whom is very strong, and another has a healing Soul Skill, somewhat like the legendary Nine Hearts Rattan."
Saying this, Zhu Zhuqing gave Ning Rongrong a look.
"Oh, oh!"
Ning Rongrong nodded, and didn't dare to say anything more.
Dai Mubai's expression was grim.
"Ning Rongrong!"
"If you provoke me again, regardless of your status or who protects you, I will kill you!"
After saying this, he turned and walked away.
Ning Rongrong, having never suffered such a slight, was about to retort when Xiao Wu pulled her back, stopping her.
"Don't bother with him, it's Dai Mubai's Three Times a Day."
Ning Rongrong was a little puzzled.
"What do you mean, 'Three Times a Day'?"
Xiao Wu explained, "It's what Su Chen said today when we met him, as for what three things, Su Chen didn't say."
"But think about it, the first time we saw him, he was with those two women at the hotel. It definitely wasn't anything good."
"Huh?"
Xiao Wu suddenly asked Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, what does 'Charge for Love' mean?"
"Uh..."
She had charged for love from the Star Luo Empire, risking her life, only to find that Dai Mubai was here, indulging in a life of pleasure. He couldn't even get enough of one woman at a time. It was clearly a mockery of her!
Tang San didn't say anything. Seeing where the conversation was headed, he silently left and entered the academy.
He was scared!
Pure and Virtuous Tang Buddha.
How to explain this?
The key was that he was wary of the words "Buddha," as they represented something from another world, a secret he kept hidden. If anyone discovered it, they would meet their end.
Seeing Tang San silently leave, Zhu Zhuqing quietly asked: "Xiao Wu, you've known Tang San for so long. Do you know what 'Pure and Virtuous Tang Buddha' means?"
Xiao Wu shook her head.
Ning Rongrong was a little curious, saying, "He gave you all nicknames, huh?"
"Does Xiao Wu have one?"
"Uh."
Xiao Wu gave Ning Rongrong a resentful look.
Zhu Zhuqing said lightly, "Shame of the Soul Beasts, Rascally Rabbit."
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh, earning a glare from Xiao Wu.
"Where's that fatty?"
"Evil Fire Chicken Ma Hongjun."
Ning Rongrong, pulling Xiao Wu along, walked back towards Shrek Academy, muttering, "If I'd known, I would've gone too, to see what nickname he'd give me."
"Tell me quickly, what happened?"
The three of them walked and chatted as they went.
Night.
Soto City Branch.
Hu Liena arrived in Dugu Yan's room, and Dugu Yan stood up, a little nervously.
Dugu Yan knew Ye Lingling's personality. However, she wasn't sure about Hu Liena's character and didn't understand why Hu Liena had suddenly come to see her. What did she want? Was she here to give her a warning? Hu Liena asked with a smile, "Yanzi, do you want to switch rooms with your sister tonight?"
"Ah?"
Dugu Yan looked blank. "What for?"
Hu Liena smiled and said, "What do you think? Of course, because Su Chen is in my room."
Dugu Yan's face flushed instantly, and she replied in a low voice, "N-no need, Su Chen and I haven't reached that point yet."
"But thank you... Sister Nana."
Hu Liena didn't press the matter, seeing this. She said, "Well, just let me know when you're ready. I'll go back and rest first."
Hu Liena left Dugu Yan's room and was about to go find Ye Lingling when she found her door closed and the lights off.
"Huh?"
"This little girl sleeps so early?"
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the faint sound of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill coming from inside.
Good heavens! You, Ye Lingling, look honest, but you're sneaking around while I'm out?
Hu Liena was also speechless.
You're a support-type Soul Master, I wonder if you can handle it!
Late at night.
Waiting for rewards as usual.
Waiting for others to get rewards as usual.
Hu Liena had originally planned to go to sleep after watching the rewards being distributed, but suddenly a figure pushed the door open and snuck in suspiciously.
"Tch!"
Hu Liena snorted coldly, displeased.
Su Chen quickly stepped forward and embraced her, asking, "Is my little fox jealous?"
Hu Liena grumbled, "What's there to be jealous about? It's just that you, you rascal, took advantage of me being gone for a bit and snuck into Lingling's room."
Su Chen comforted Hu Liena:
"Lingling's Martial Soul is too weak, so I went to cultivate with her first. Then, we can spend the whole night practicing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"Then be careful, or you'll be defeated by us."
"Laughable!"
"My second brother is invincible. You two are just small fries. My Green Dragon Crescent Blade will take you both out with one strike."
Beep!
