Chapter 57 - Bishops Having a Nice Time (1/2)

After Huang Yu and Gu Yue split up the loot they had gotten from that gang of gangsters, they bade each other goodbye and went their separate ways. Students weren't allowed to work together after leaving the school area.

Huang Yu left Shrek Academy relatively quickly via a soul train. Releasing his senses to the surroundings, he didn't sense the existence of any teachers from Shrek Academy following him. They were probably only going to start the supervision after he actually arrived in another city.

As the soul train left Shrek City, Huang Yu was sitting alone on a seat. An hour passed before a dark-skinned man went and sat next to him.

”My king, this lowly one has obeyed your wishes...” the dark-skinned man suddenly spoke.

”Good job, Romario” Huang Yu's reply was curt and he didn't seem to be interested. At this moment, he was in a public area, so he couldn't show that he was well acquainted with the person beside him.

In fact, he had already set up a barrier that stopped the sound from escaping to the surroundings. Even a Quasi God standing nearby wouldn't be able to hear their words. Not only that, Huang Yu had created a subtle illusion that made it seem as if their lips weren't moving. One could never be too safe after all.

The only reason Romario would come near him now anyways was because he had sensed that there weren't any other spirit masters looking in on them at this moment. Romario was a fanatic for Nox, but he wasn't dumb.

”My king, you do not have to exert yourself. This humble one has managed to manifest a mind manipulation technique. I can just wipe the minds of everyone here of this conversation happening.”

Huang Yu raised an eyebrow. ”Won't it be found out if there is a checkup from other spirit masters?”

”My mind control is more like a type of hypnosis, my king. It can't be found out by other spirit masters because I am not wiping their memories from their mind. Rather, I'm influencing their minds to forget it on their own. It is similar to how a normal person will not remember what they ate a week ago.”

”That's a nifty ability to have.” Huang Yu commented.

A smile appeared on Romario's lips. ”I thank you for your compliment, my king.”

Suddenly, a look of alertness appeared on Romario's face. That look of alertness soon shifted into one of horrible anger.

Romario turned back to Huang Yu who gave him a nod in reply. Having received his king's permission, Romario stood up before swiftly wiping the minds of the other people in the same car as them.

As soon as he did so, he disappeared from the spot he had been in.

Still sitting in his seat, Huang Yu let out a soft laugh. 'That Spirit Emperor from the Holy Spirit Cult coming right now is so unlucky. Out of all the trains he could have chosen to attack, he chose this one…' Huang Yu thought amusedly.

Looking out the window, Huang Yu cleared his head from those thoughts about the soon-to-be-dead Spirit Emperor as his thoughts unknowingly drifted to a very familiar black-haired girl.

'Gu Yue… should be a spirit beast, or is directly related to them in some way. From her asking me about spirit beasts and that black dragon in human form protecting her in the shadows all the time, those are all discriminate proof of it.'

'I can sense some malicious intent from the spirit beast pretending to be a human, but I don't sense any from her. With the powerful dragon bloodline I sense from her as well, she should have quite the deep background.'

Huang Yu sighed before scratching the back of his head. Thinking about all these things were so troublesome. He could tell that Gu Yue actually wanted to tell him the things she was hiding, but there was some sense of duty stopping her from doing so. Huang Yu had seen Gu Yue go through many mental dilemmas when he asked her about some more sėnsɨtɨvė things.

He understood of course. Everyone had something that they didn't want to reveal to others. The status of him as the King of Nox and his third eye were all things that he wouldn't reveal to anyone willy-nilly.

However, he himself was tired as well having to keep such a great mental wall. He, like Gu Yue, personally wanted to be able to confide with others about the things he was facing as well. He was incredibly powerful now, but he was still a human after all.

Humans were social creatures. They needed to interact with others to function properly.
