Chapter 79 - When You Dont Find Trouble But Trouble Finds You (1/2)

After a long voyage and a tiresome train ride, the Shrek Academy Group had finally arrived at their destination in the dark of night. A wave of relief crashed upon them.

They immediately went to check-in to the hotel the Empire had arranged for them. They were given luxurious suites in a high-class hotel. Throughout the hotel, dazzling decorations of gold and platinum were strewn about.

As Huang Yu walked into his suite, he couldn't help but ask himself, ”I wonder if anyone's ever stolen some gold from those walls before. Even the rich people I know would take a lot of the stuff given in the hotel.”

Sitting on the bed, Huang Yu was about to start cultivating before he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

With a sweep of his mental detection, he found out that it was Gu Yue outside. Realisation appearing on his face as he made to open the door.

'Welp, I'm probably not going to get any sleep tonight. Dual cultivation it is.'

The next day, Huang Yu and Gu Yue left the suite together at around 11.30 in the morning. Gu Yue wore a new grey dress as she pulled Huang Yu's arm along.

”C'mon, let's go get some breakfast!”

”Uhh, I think the buffet in the hotel is closed by now though. We woke up too late.” Huang Yu said as he scratched the back of his head.

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow. ”Isn't that all your fault? You just couldn't help yourself in the bath.”

A laugh came from Huang Yu's mouth. ”I wasn't the one screaming for more though.”

The tips of Gu Yue's ears began to glow bright red. However, she didn't deign to answer Huang Yu's words.

The two of them left the hotel together after that little bit of banter. They went to the city centre, thrown into the hustle and bustle of such a hotspot, before they went and got some food from some roadside stalls.

Huang Yu accompanied Gu Yue as she dragged him around for a bit for a quick session of window-shopping. Merry laughs were shared between the two of them as they enjoyed their time together.

As the two of them were about to enter a store, Gu Yue had her shoulder brushed by a man in a group full of middle-aged men in fine clothing. They were tall with robust bodies, faces fit for a bunch of gangsters.

”The fuċk?” snarled the man who had bumped into Gu Yue. Before any more words were exchanged, that same man raised his hand and swung down in a swift motion as he tried to smack Huang Yu and Gu Yue away.

Seeing this, Huang Yu's expression darkened instantly. A snort left his lips as his hand blurred for a brief moment. Then, he quickly pulled Gu Yue behind him.

A crack was heard before as the man was stunned that his attack seemed to have been stopped. Taking a good look at his arm, he found out that not only was his attack completely neutralised, his elbow was jutting out of his arm as well.

An ear-piercing screech filled the air as the man who had attacked dropped down to his knees, cradling his broken arm.

”ARRRGGGHHH, MY ARM!!!!”

The other men in the group instantly turned their gazes over to him.

”Hey! What happened to you?!”

”Who broke your arm?! They're besmirching the identity of the guards of the royal family!”

Meanwhile, Huang Yu didn't give a crap about them as he took a good look at Gu Yue.

”Are you hurt anywhere?” Huang Yu asked with care.

A soft smile appeared on Gu Yue's lips as she shook her head. ”Nah, I'm fine. Let's just go before those guys escalate this. People like them are just bastards.”

With a nod of his head, Huang Yu held Gu Yue's arm as they wanted to leave the area. Huang Yu had dealt the man a heavy hand not only because of that man's actions, but also because he had been targeting Gu Yue, who he had bumped into no less!

Huang Yu wouldn't look for trouble as long as it didn't benefit him in some way, but if someone's going to start something…

You can be sure as hell that he's going to finish it.

It was at this moment that the leader of that group suddenly appeared behind Huang Yu. He grabbed his shoulder harshly.

”You! Were you the one who broke his arm?!”

There were a few moments of silence after that as the atmosphere quickly became cold. The leader frowned in the face of Huang Yu's silence.

”Did you hear me you brat?! Were you the one—”
