Chapter 46 - Blooming Feelings (1/2)

Watching Yun Ming fly off, Huang Yu sighed. He shifted his gaze to Gu Yue before looking at her with a soft, yet strange look in his eyes.

The reason for this was because of what he felt during the spirit fusion with Gu Yue. He had clearly felt the strength of her bloodline. Yet, when they fused, her bloodline was forced to completely submit to his, so the spirit fusion attack was at 100% compatibility.

The situation was truly bizarre, but it was just like that.

Knowing this, he hypothesised that his bloodline was somewhat special when it came to spirit fusions. If it did the same thing during every spirit fusion, then he could theoretically do it with whoever he wanted to at a compatibility rate of 100%.

Putting aside those thoughts for now, Huang Yu began pouring some vital energy into Gu Yue to wake her up. With her current cultivation, a spirit fusion attack of the calibre they had unleashed previously was far to taxing.

If he hadn't shouldered around 70% of the burden, it may have turned her into a complete husk of a human.

He sighed again. ”Gu Yue, why did you have to attempt something so dangerous?” he whispered softly to her.

Unfortunately, she wasn't able to hear this since she was unconscious.

”GU YUE/BIG SIS GU YUE!!”

Several sudden shouts sounded out from behind him. Turning around, he was met with the frantic faces of Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie.

Tang Wulin ran up to Huang Yu who was holding Gu Yue in his arms. With gritted teeth, he rasped out, ”What happened to her Huang Yu?”

The three other students from class zero hadn't managed to see what had happened just now. The battle may have taken many words to describe, but it all happened in a flash.

They had been knocked back due to Elder Cai's sudden burst of power as well. Hence, they took some time to get back up.

”Gu Yue, are you alright?” Tang Wulin asked hurriedly as he rushed over to her.

Gu Yue coughed a few times before looking up. ”Thanks for the concern, I'm fine Wulin.” she said half-heartedly before looking around to search for Huang Yu.

Noticing this, Tang Wulin let out a wry smile before stepping back to give her space.

When Gu Yue found Huang Yu, she asked in a slightly hoarse voice, ”Huang Yu, are you hurt?”

This girl…

Huang Yu let out a wry smile of his own. ”I'm fine. But you're such an idiot you know?”

Gu Yue flinched as Huang Yu's words made their way into her ears.

Hearing Huang Yu's spiteful words towards Gu Yue, Tang Wulin began getting angry. Opening his mouth to shout out at Huang Yu, he deftly closed it again when Huang Yu spoke his next words.

”What you did was extremely reckless. You could have died from that, you know? The situation wasn't serious to the point where you had to do something like that.”

Gu Yue looked down, not daring to look Huang Yu in the eyes. ”I'm sorry. I just wanted to help…”

A sigh emerged from Huang Yu's lips before he closed his eyes. Opening them again, he approached Gu Yue before pulling her into a hug, causing a high-pitched squeak to come out of her mouth.

A burning blush appeared on Gu Yue's face. She wanted to say something, but each and every word she wanted to say was stuck in her throat. In the end, she decided not to resist and melted into the hug.

Tang Wulin, seeing this, couldn't help but clench his fists slightly. He took deep breaths, trying to keep the Golden Dragon King blood essence in his body from rampaging.

”Thank you for that. But next time, please don't do something like that again. I don't want you getting hurt.” Huang Yu whispered gently into her ear.

”Mm.” That was the only thing Gu Yue could reply with at the moment. Her brain had been so scrambled from Huang Yu's actions that she couldn't think straight.

However, she really couldn't help but feel that Huang Yu was really warm.

When he finally let her go, for some reason, Gu Yue felt a sense of not wanting to let go. Nonetheless, she didn't voice it out.

”Are we still leaving Shrek?” she suddenly blurted out. Saying those words, she wanted to curse herself. She had just ruined a perfectly splendid moment with those words.

Huang Yu gave a smile. ”Nah. The Sea God Pavillion Master came just now and said that he would give Elder Cai a suitable punishment for her actions. He said he'd also compensate us.”

”Ok.” she smiled back at him.

*Cough Cough*

The two of them turned to see Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan looking at them.

Xie Xie began, ”Well since the two of you aren't leaving anymore…”

”... can we go do the next trials now?” Xu Xiaoyan ended for him.

””Sure.”” Huang Yu and Gu Yue said in unison.

For the fifth trial, because Elder Cai was unconscious, all the students of class zero got a free pass for that.

For the sixth trial, it was a trial about eating. This was Tang Wulin's specialty, hence, he absolutely demolished this stage of the trial by himself.

Huang Yu could have eaten more, but he chose not to. The buns they had provided were very bland and he didn't want to eat too much of them.

The seventh trial was a bunch of physical exercises. Gu Yue still hadn't completely recovered from what happened previously, so Huang Yu decided to help her out with it.

For the eighth trial, things got a bit more interesting. Shrek Academy had set up ten students to pick from and the one you chose was the one you would fight in the test.

Victory wasn't a necessity to pass, but did anyone expect anything less from Huang Yu and the others?
