"I don't know."
Arthur spread his hands.
Cai Yueer lay on the ground, staring at the sky with a look of despair, lacking even the strength to speak.
How long had it been? She was actually completely no match for Arthur anymore.
This must be a dream!
She, a dignified Super Douluo, Vice... Sea Gods Pavilion Elder of Shrek Academy, was actually pinned to the ground and rubbed by a junior with one hand, without even a sliver of room to resist.
This disparity felt worse than being killed.
Looking at Cai Yueer like this, Ya Li felt both annoyed and amused. She quickly stepped forward to help her up: "Yueer, are you alright?"
Calling me Yueer again now?
Ya Li, has anyone ever told you that you're quite the poser?
Cai Yueer was helped up and patted the dirt off her body. Her hair was disheveled, and her dress was covered in stains.
She looked at Arthur with a complex gaze filled with anger and resentment, but mostly shock.
Finally, with a cold snort, Cai Yueer turned and left; she didn't have the face to stay here any longer.
Ya Li shook her head helplessly and looked at Arthur: "Tell me, what exactly are you trying to do? Intentionally making Yueer angry just to draw me out?"
"That's one reason, but mainly because I haven't done my daily tasks in a long time."
"What daily tasks?"
"That's not important."
Arthur stopped pretending. His expression turned serious as he lowered his voice: "Sister Ya Li, I wanted to ask if the Sea Gods Pavilion has any new findings regarding the god slaying missiles and the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Ya Li's expression also turned grave instantly. She subconsciously glanced at Sea God Island on the opposite shore, her voice so soft only the two of them could hear: "The Pavilion Master and the Elders have investigated for so long, yet they still have nothing. And..."
"And what?"
"And Brother Yun Ming feels that there's an unknown presence frequently spying on him from the shadows." Ya Li's expression was worried. "We have no clues at all. We have absolutely no way to counter it."
"And Brother Yun Ming feels that there's an unknown presence frequently spying on him from the shadows." Ya Li's expression was worried. "We have no clues at all."
Arthur's eyes darkened.
Spying on Yun Ming?
You mean someone is spying on the number one person on the continent, a Quasi-God Realm expert who has already created the prototype of a God Position, and Yun Ming still can't find them?
Is that what you mean?
Arthur was greatly shocked.
Where did such a powerful figure come from!
"The Holy Spirit Cult?" he asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Ya Li shook her head. "But we have to prepare for the worst."
"What if it really is the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"So Brother Yun Ming will stay in the Academy from now on to prevent the Holy Spirit Cult from launching an attack while he's away."
Ya Li's voice carried a hint of fatigue, yet also a sense of resolve. "As long as he is here, Shrek is the safest fortress."
Arthur fell silent.
Yun Ming staying at the Academy seemed secure, but in reality, he was being pinned down in place.
The other party was spying on Yun Ming but not showing themselves or attacking, only observing. This was clearly a diversionary tactic.
For something like this to happen at this critical juncture, it was nine times out of ten related to the Holy Spirit Cult.
But who would have the ability?
Arthur frowned. To be able to do this, they must be at least at the Divine Rank.
After ruling them out one by one, Arthur felt that the most likely candidate was the Abyss Plane. After all, they had full-strength Divine Rank experts and were cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult.
Perhaps the reason they couldn't find the Holy Spirit Cult recently was also because the Abyss Plane was helping to obscure the heavenly secrets.
"What a headache..." Arthur hated this kind of mental work the most.
Wait, he suddenly thought of Gu Yue, who possessed Peerless Wisdom.
Why not go ask the omnipotent Dorae-Yue?
"Sister Ya Li, I suddenly have something to do. See you next time."
As his voice fell, Arthur's figure had already turned into a streak of light, racing toward Gu Yue's dormitory.
"At least this kid knows when to leave." Yun Ming's figure appeared. If Arthur had chatted for too long and disturbed the rare relaxation time he and Ya Li had recently, he really would have had to throw a heavy punch.
"This child, when will he stop being so reckless?" Ya Li stood by the lake, looking in the direction he had left, sighing helplessly. "You should do something about him too."
Hearing this, Yun Ming was stunned.
Seeing Ya Li looking like a mother distressed by her child's naughtiness, he felt completely uneasy.
What does this mean?
...Arthur's figure was like lightning, calculating various possibilities in his mind. In the blink of an eye, he arrived outside Gu Yue's independent dormitory.
He habitually kicked open the door and rushed in impetuously, shouting:
"Gu Yue! Gu Yue! Something's happened! Quick, use your invincible Peerless Wisdom to think of a wa—"
The word 'way' got stuck in his throat.
In the center of the living room, Gu Yue had her back to the door, seemingly looking down and tidying something.
Hearing the commotion, she subconsciously turned around.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a bright glow.
Arthur's breathing stopped.
What met his eyes was a superb black-and-white maid outfit.
Under the white ruffled headpiece, her hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
The top outlined her slender waist.
White stockings wrapped around her long, shapely legs.
Between the short skirt and the white stockings, a section of snowy-white thigh was revealed.
The fabric was a bit tight, perfectly highlighting the girl's burgeoning curves.
Gu Yue also didn't seem to expect Arthur to suddenly barge in, and she froze on the spot.
Her fair cheeks were dyed with a thin layer of red at a visible speed, spreading all the way to the roots of her ears.
She was still pinching a corner of her skirt, seemingly adjusting the tightness.
Arthur's brain crashed.
Who am I? Where am I? What was I going to do?
Oh, right.
I came to ask Gu Yue... what was I going to ask again?
"You..." Gu Yue finally found her voice, trying to maintain her usual coolness, but her slightly trembling tone and the tips of her red ears betrayed her. "Why didn't you knock?"
"So I was supposed to knock?"
Arthur squeezed out a few words dryly.
His gaze uncontrollably lingered on that outfit, which formed an extreme contrast with Gu Yue's usual cold temperament yet was strangely harmonious.
The thought from the dessert shop earlier flashed inappropriately through his mind.
"Oh, damn. How could anyone possibly refuse this?"
Now, reality provided the answer.
It was indeed impossible to refuse.
"What's the matter?" Gu Yue took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound more normal.
But the action of slightly straightening her back made the curves of a certain area even more prominent.
She seemed to realize this as well, and her movements stiffened for another moment.
Arthur snapped back to his senses and shook his head hard, trying to shake off those inappropriate images and thoughts.
However, his eyes unconsciously drifted over once again.
"Cough!" He coughed heavily, forcing his gaze away to look out the window. "That... do you know about the Abyss Plane?"
"Abyss Plane?" Gu Yue was slightly startled, the lingering blush on her face replaced by contemplation.
She temporarily suppressed the embarrassment brought by this inappropriate attire. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
She walked to the window and stood side-by-side with Arthur, her gaze also looking out the window, but her peripheral vision was watching Arthur's profile, seemingly trying to read something from his face.
The hem of her maid outfit swayed gently with her movements, and her white stockings shim
