Chapter 41 - Yuanen Yehui (1/2)

A/N: I don't know if I managed to capture Yuanen's character at all so if you any feedback on that, it would be nice. Also, I've already finished Huang Yu's power sheet and posted it as an auxilliary chapter. If you wanna take a look at this current powers and maybe get some subtle spoilers you can go take a look. : )

In a room pervaded by and heavy with the element of darkness, a purple halo lit up, driving back some of the oppressive atmosphere.

”My Lord,” a deep voice said deferentially, its owner kneeling. In spite of his human appearance, he had an aura as frightening as the abyss.

”Mn.” A petite figure emerged, a sight for sore eyes in the midst of the heavy room.

”What's the progress?” A delicate voice rang, as if from a young girl. Long blackish-purple hair that was tied into a ponytail swayed behind her as she spoke.

”We have already completely integrated ourselves and collected information from all parties.”

”Very good. I shall take a look at it later.”

”My Lord, what about the child with the Sage's Body? Should we capture him for his blood essence? It's not strong enough yet, but it should be enough for you...”

A sneer made its way onto the face of the petite figure clad in shadows. ”You'll do no such thing! If you dare to talk about this again, I will personally rip your tongue out of your throat!”

The owner of the deep voice's eyes widened. Then, he immediately bent into a kowtow. ”I apologise for overstepping my boundaries, my Lord. It's just that this one was curious why you changed your mind about using him...”

”Are you questioning my decisions?” The delicate female voice seemed to become cold.

”No, my Lord. I apologise once more for my transgressions.”

”Dear guests and travellers, we have arrived at the greatest city on the Douluo Continent, Shrek City. Shrek City's roots extend tens of thousands of years...”

At this moment, Huang Yu was sitting in a soul train. As one could tell from the announcements, he, along with the other students of class zero, were heading straight to Shrek City.

The first time Huang Yu heard of Shrek Academy, he couldn't help but burst into giggles. When he was asked for the reason for that by Wu Zhangkong, his reply was that it reminded him of a green ogre.

Ah… the memories of watching Shrek still existed in his mind vividly. His favourite song was from that movie.

One could say that it was one of his 'All Star' favourites.

Ba dum tss.

Get it?

…

No? Ok, I'll stop with the puns here.

Sitting right next to him, was Gu Yue. She was fast asleep at that moment with her head lying on his shoulder. Seeing her drool on his shirt sleeve, he found her quite cute and infuriating at the same time.

Although he really wanted to wake her up to stop her from drooling on his sleeve, he couldn't bring himself to do so. In the end, he just ignored it and looked outside the window to appreciate the scenery of Shrek City.

Eventually, they arrived at the station. Oh wait, it was 'soul' station wasn't it? Couldn't forget about the extra prefixes for everything in Xianxia.

As the soul train slowly came to a halt, Huang Yu poked Gu Yue's cheek to wake her up.

Doing so, her sparkling, purple eyes slowly opened. She rubbed her eyes a bit before asking Huang Yu slightly drowsily, ”Are we already here?”

”Yup.”

Along with the other students of class zero and Wu Zhangkong, they all departed the soul train.

”Let's first find an inn.” Wu Zhangkong said frostily when everyone had gathered in front of him.
