Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
============================
Jin Li's appearance had indeed caused quite a stir at Shrek Academy recently.
That stunning face, that heroic temperament, and the Spirit Emperor cultivation she possessed at such a young age were all unavoidable topics of conversation in the academy lately.
Jin Li was full of curiosity about human society, so she naturally didn't refuse contact with humans. Recently, the places she visited most were Shrek Academy's Soul Fighting Arena and the cafeteria.
In the Soul Fighting Arena, she displayed extraordinary combat power; even Bei Bei from the Inner Court lost to her.
Even Xian Liner, the Dean of the Soul Tool Department, praised her after watching her fight: "This girl's fighting style is more like a Valkyrie than mine!"
As this evaluation spread, Jin Li also gained the title of "Valkyrie."
However, the Shrek cafeteria was a great disappointment to Jin Li. Although the taste of the dishes there was decent, they were far inferior to what Huo Yuhao had treated her to before.
Fortunately, there was plenty of delicious food in Shrek City, which had kept her coming back for more these past few days. She had tried every restaurant, snack shop, and street stall one by one.
Furthermore, Jin Li and Huo Yuhao often hung out together. Although the two didn't have any intimate actions, many rumors had already spread saying that they were in a relationship.
Despite not knowing if these rumors were true or false, many people felt the two were a perfect match after hearing the news.
Huo Yuhao hadn't taken action for a long time, so his true combat power was unknown. But since both were now Spirit Emperors and their talent in Spirit Power cultivation speed was nearly identical, everyone commented that they were a "well-matched" pair.
In the academy, there were many who admired Huo Yuhao. But those young girls instinctively backed down after seeing Jin Li's appearance and talent, not daring to compete with her.
Jin Li was simply too perfect; that appearance, that temperament, and that cultivation made them feel ashamed of their own inferiority. They also felt that only such a woman was worthy of Huo Yuhao.
This actually made things much easier for Huo Yuhao, as he hadn't received any more love letters for several days.
However, as this news flew everywhere, someone couldn't sit still.
Inside the dormitory, Wang Dong sat on the edge of the bed, his large pinkish-blue eyes staring at the ceiling, though they were out of focus. His mind was now full of the rumors outside regarding Huo Yuhao and Jin Li.
Although he had asked Huo Yuhao if he liked Jin Li and ultimately got the answer he wanted. Huo Yuhao had personally admitted that the relationship between them was not like that.
But Wang Dong still couldn't help a surge of jealousy rising in his heart.
That jealousy was like a knocked-over jar of vinegar, churning in his heart and making him restless. It was as if a treasure he had set his eyes on for a long time was about to be snatched away by someone else.
He worried that even if Huo Yuhao had no feelings for Jin Li now, feelings could develop over time.
In Wang Dong's eyes, Jin Li was different from other girls; Jin Li truly made Wang Dong feel threatened.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sky outside the window gradually darkened.
About half an hour later, Huo Yuhao's figure appeared at the dormitory door.
He glanced at Wang Dong sitting on the edge of the bed and felt that he seemed a bit off today.
Seeing Huo Yuhao walk in, Wang Dong stood up directly.
A slight smile forced its way onto his face as he asked with a hint of expectation, "Yuhao, it's almost vacation time. Do you want to go to the Clear Sky Sect with me for a few days?"
[A/N: Oh, NAH! Oh, NAH! No frickin way.]
Facing Wang Dong's invitation, Huo Yuhao thought for a moment.
But in the end, he shook his head and said with a bit of apology, "I have some arrangements for the holiday, so I won't be going to the Clear Sky Sect."
The reason Huo Yuhao answered this way was also for safety's sake. After all, Old Jin had once told him that there were several places on the continent with connections to the God Realm, and the Sea God Tang San could influence the Lower Realm through these places. And the Clear Sky Sect was one of them.
Huo Yuhao's refusal made Wang Dong freeze for a moment.
A flash of surprise and disappointment crossed those large pinkish-blue eyes.
Because before, Huo Yuhao had clearly promised him that he would go to the Clear Sky Sect, but now he had changed his mind.
Wang Dong's eyes flickered, and he asked in a joking voice, "What's the matter? It couldn't be an appointment with Jin Li, could it?"
His tone was light, as if he were just asking casually. But his gaze and expression both betrayed his nervousness.
Huo Yuhao denied it directly: "Of course not!"
Wang Dong felt slightly relieved and said again, "Then what is it that you can't even spare a few days? I was even thinking of introducing my sister to you."
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth but didn't know how to explain.
He couldn't just say he was afraid Tang San would act against him. Huo Yuhao was also unsure whether Tang San was aware of his contact with Old Jin. Although the God Realm was far away, the power of a god was unpredictable.
Looking at Wang Dong's slightly anxious and nervous eyes, Huo Yuhao had some guesses in his heart.
He must be jealous, right?
Because of Jin Li's appearance and those rumors.
A surge of indescribable joy also welled up in his heart. Huo Yuhao knew very well that Wang Dong didn't have any sister.
The "sister" he wanted to introduce to him was none other than himself in disguise as a boy. He had known this from the very first moment he saw him when he entered the academy.
Huo Yuhao still didn't plan to expose him now; he was even looking forward to his first meeting with Wang Donger.
Huo Yuhao thought quickly in his mind and soon found an excuse.
He explained, "I really have things to do this holiday. I plan to apply for early graduation next semester."
Wang Dong was stunned upon hearing this, his large pinkish-blue eyes filled with shock.
He pressed further, "You're leaving Shrek Academy?!"
Huo Yuhao nodded; he hadn't intended to keep this from Wang Dong.
Hearing this, a look of urgency appeared on Wang Dong's face. After Huo Yuhao left the academy, it would be difficult for them to meet.
He wouldn't be able to attend class, cultivation, and eat with him every day like they did now. He wouldn't be able to see him or hear his voice at any time like now.
At this moment, Wang Dong even wanted to directly reveal his female identity in front of Huo Yuhao.
He wanted to tell him that he wasn't his brother, and his feelings for him weren't friendship, but love.
But in the end, Wang Dong held back.
He thought for a while, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Huo Yuhao's voice continued: "I have some plans after leaving the academy, so I need to make some preparations this holiday. If you really want to introduce your sister to me, you can bring her out for a stroll."
Finally, Huo Yuhao made this suggestion with a smile, a hint of expectation on his clean-cut face.
He didn't know how Wang Dong would choose, nor did he know if Wang Donger would appear.
Wang Dong glanced at Huo Yuhao with a slightly complex expression and asked, "Where do you plan to go after leaving the academy?"
Huo Yuhao said directly, "Star Luo City."
Wang Dong thought for a bit and said, "Then I'll ask my sister when I go back and see if she's willing to meet you."
Hearing Wang Dong say this, the corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth curled up.
He felt that he should be able to see Wang Dong's "sister" very soon.
