Chapter 38 Dean Yan can't be this stingy, can he?
"Yuhao! Should we take action?" Tianmeng and Bingdi, who had been instantly awakened in their spiritual sea, asked seriously.
Huo Yuhao immediately dismissed their idea, "It's alright. Wang Dong and I are currently under the cover of the simulation, so even if this person wakes up, they shouldn't be able to lock onto us. I have to wait here for those people to arrive! With such a big incident, if I don't take this opportunity to teach the Martial Soul Department a lesson, they'll really think I'm easy to bully!"
"Alright! Call us if you need anything! I'm going back to sleep!" Tianmeng lay back down in bed, found a comfortable position, and drifted off to sleep again.
"Yuhao, just call me if you need anything." Bingdi nodded to Huo Yuhao, then gradually disappeared into the depths of her consciousness.
After speaking with the two little girls, Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong in his arms and asked softly, "Are you alright?"
Wang Dong hadn't recovered from what had just happened. Everything had happened too fast. If Huo Yuhao hadn't reacted in time, he probably would have been finished.
He raised his bright pinkish-blue eyes, slowly shook his head, and then slumped into Huo Yuhao's arms. His legs were still a little weak from the sudden surge of adrenaline.
Feeling the soft body in his arms, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of tenderness, and his body reacted accordingly.
Oh no! A million curses ran through Huo Yuhao's mind. His eyes darted around aimlessly, not daring to look down at Wang Dong's reaction.
The sea goddess princess disguised as a man in his arms was already blushing with embarrassment; her mind was completely blank, and she was utterly incapable of thinking.
Her already limp body was now filled with an even stronger, strange feeling. Unconsciously, she leaned closer to Huo Yuhao, her arms wrapping tightly around his waist.
Huo Yuhao's body froze, stiffening as if he were a pillar, allowing Wang Dong to hold him at will.
However, these subtle moments of happiness are often exceptionally short-lived.
The people from Poseidon Island reacted quickly and have already arrived.
Huo Yuhao didn't dare let Wang Dong hug him any longer. He patted Wang Dong's back lightly and whispered, "Someone's coming. I'll use a simulation to cover for you in a bit. We need to get more compensation later! With my parents here, I don't believe these bastards will dare to mess with us!"
Wang Dong, her face flushed, leaned on Huo Yuhao's shoulder and slowly stood up, panting heavily to calm her wildly beating heart.
Before Wang Dong could fully recover, more than a dozen figures had already arrived beside the red figure.
The white-robed elder at the head of the group grabbed one of the red-clad figures' hands, gave it a quick check, and only after confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as the dozen or so people were about to leave with the red figure, the white-robed elder suddenly turned around and looked back. He hadn't even sensed it! The white-robed elder looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who had revealed themselves, in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Before these people could speak, Huo Yuhao took out a token from his soul tool and said in a humble yet respectful manner, "My father is Qian Duoduo, my mother is Xian Lin'er, and my roommate Huo Yuhao and I greet you seniors."
The old man in white looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in a daze, then composed himself before asking, "Are you the adopted son that Lin'er and Vice Dean Qian recognized?"
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "I am grateful for the kindness of the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department, which is why I was able to become the adopted son of my adoptive parents."
How could the old man in white not know Huo Yuhao's plans? He probably only avoided being injured by Ma Xiaotao's attack because of the soul tools given to him by Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo. Now, just as they were about to take Ma Xiaotao away, he suddenly appeared and immediately introduced himself. Isn't it obvious that he's here to extort money and demand compensation?
The old man in white didn't say much. He took a white porcelain bottle from his robes and tossed it into Huo Yuhao's hand, saying somewhat sullenly, "I am Yan Shaozhe, and you, kid, have to call me uncle! This bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pills contains two pills; consider it compensation, how about it?"
Huo Yuhao immediately shook his head, smiling as he said, "Dean Yan can't be that stingy, can he?"
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Yan Shaozhe was so angry he almost spat out blood. Forcing himself not to argue with a junior, he pulled a white porcelain bottle from his robes, tossed it to Wang Dong, and said through gritted teeth, "One Phoenix Light Source Pill! Is that enough?"
Huo Yuhao immediately knew when to stop, saying, "Thank you for the gift, Uncle Yan! I will definitely report it to my parents truthfully!"
Yan Shaozhe's vision went black. What the hell did this mean? He was telling those two from your family? You're really into this backstabbing, aren't you? Unable to contain his anger any longer, Yan Shaozhe swiftly pulled another bottle from his pocket and threw it to Huo Yuhao. Then, without looking back, he picked up Ma Xiaotao and ran towards Seagod Island.
The other elderly men and middle-aged men exchanged glances. They had inadvertently caught a glimpse of the devilish smile on Huo Yuhao's delicate face, and they dared not linger. To avoid being extorted, they quickly chased after Yan Shaozhe and ran away.
Huo Yuhao looked at the slightly bluish-green porcelain bottle in his hand, and curiously opened the stopper. A powerful life force burst forth, and a jade-green pill lay quietly inside. Wang Dong, smelling the fragrance, immediately looked at Huo Yuhao with astonishment, "This is the Azure Jade Soul-Replenishing Pill! It has the effect of strengthening the foundation, nourishing the essence, and increasing the life force!"
Huo Yuhao asked with some curiosity, "Compared to the Phoenix Light Source Pill that Dean Yan just threw to you, which is more expensive?"
Wang Dong was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know either. For me, the Phoenix Light Source Pill is definitely more precious. Both of these pills are extremely rare and expensive; if even one were to leak out, countless people would scramble for them. However, the Phoenix Light Source Pill has a much narrower target audience, mainly light-attribute soul masters. Therefore, the Azure Jade Soul-Replenishing Pill, which has virtually no absorption restrictions, will definitely see more people driving up its price. Logically speaking, the Phoenix Light Source Pill should be cheaper than the Azure Jade Soul-Replenishing Pill, right?"
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, nudged Wang Dong with his elbow, and blinked, saying, "Let's take the day off and go back to the dorm to absorb the pills, just in case something goes wrong."
Wang Dong blushed slightly as she watched Huo Yuhao's actions, recalling his previous reaction.
She closed her eyes, turned her head away, and said in a barely audible voice, "I understand."
