Chapter 95: The Dragon Horse Enraged (Third update, seeking subscriptions)
Early in the morning, as the sky faintly brightened, Xiao Wu awoke while Aotian, Gu Yuena, and Zhu Zhuqing were still sound asleep.
She was facing away from Aotian, held in his embrace, and groggily felt something behind her.
"How dare you touch my butt!" Xiao Wu was both shy and angry, reaching a hand back to grab it.
Immediately after, a shriek echoed, startling Gu Yuena, Zhu Zhuqing, and Aotian awake.
Gu Yuena said helplessly, "Xiao Wu, why are you always making such a fuss?"
Zhu Zhuqing rubbed her eyes, also looking at Xiao Wu curiously.
Xiao Wu got out of bed, her face red, stammering without saying anything, but her gaze toward Aotian was fierce.
She had thought it was just Aotian's hand, but she never expected…
At this moment, various images involuntarily flashed through Xiao Wu's mind: male and female soul beasts together, and Aotian and Bibi Dong lying together.
She felt her body go a little weak, but still rushed into the bathroom.
Seeing Xiao Wu's strange behavior, Gu Yuena looked suspiciously at Aotian, who was still lying on the bed, and asked, "You didn't really do anything to her, did you?"
Aotian shook his head and said helplessly, "I didn't do anything to her. That girl just scared herself."
Gu Yuena's gaze fell on the quilt that was bulging in front of Aotian, and she seemed to understand something, letting out a chuckle.
Xiao Wu used to sleep beside Aotian, but after she went to Nuoding Academy, Gu Yuena took her place. While Xiao Wu might not have known about Aotian's morning physical changes, how could Gu Yuena not know?
Aotian smiled, not thinking anything of it. He genuinely wasn't being intentional; his body's natural reactions couldn't be controlled when he was asleep. He would only wake up if someone approached or danger was near.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Aotian, then at Gu Yuena, utterly confused about what had happened.
"I'll find another chance to ask Sister Xiao Wu later," she thought to herself.
With a mere thought from Aotian, the bulging quilt instantly flattened. He got up and said, "Get up, wash up. After breakfast, we'll go to Shrek Academy."
Aotian went down and ordered breakfast. By the time the three girls had finished washing up, it had already been delivered.
After breakfast, the sun had risen. The group went downstairs, checked out, and then headed toward the south gate of Soto City.
The three girls sat in the carriage, and Xiao Wu poked her head out to ask, "Aotian, is this Shrek Academy really that good?"
Aotian replied, "It's alright, but it's a bit poor."
Xiao Wu asked in surprise, "How poor is it?"
"They don't have the money to build their own academy. They're renting the buildings in half a village to serve as their campus."
"Then what are we going there for?" Xiao Wu was a little puzzled.
She felt that with Aotian's relationship with Bibi Dong, shouldn't they be entering a top-tier institution like Spirit Hall Academy?
Why were they going to this kind of rural academy instead?
"To let you experience some hardship," Aotian said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's mood immediately soured. She said, "How about we don't go to this Shrek Academy after all?"
Aotian said, "Then you can go back. Na'er and I will go."
Xiao Wu immediately pouted and fell silent.
After the carriage left the crowded Soto City, its speed gradually increased.
A wide official road extended from Soto City's south gate far to the south. On both sides of the road stretched endless farmland. Soto City was known as the Grain Capital of the Barak Kingdom, and it wasn't a baseless title.
Xiao Wu looked out, confused. "Aotian, didn't Tang San say that Shrek Academy was just outside Soto City's south gate? Why can't I see it?"
She looked around, but there were only vast fields of farmland, not even a single building. Where was Shrek Academy?
Aotian smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll be there soon."
Zhu Zhuqing took out her mask and put it on.
Xiao Wu asked, "Zhuqing, is it because you don't want that guy to know your identity?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "When I defeat him someday, I will tell him my identity myself. I really want to see if someone like him will regret it!"
"But if he sees your martial soul, won't he recognize you?" Xiao Wu asked worriedly.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "I've already thought of a new identity. The Zhu family is a large clan in the Star Luo Empire, with many direct and collateral relatives. It's impossible for him to know everyone. From now on, at Shrek Academy, I'll be called Zhu Qing. You can still call me Zhuqing privately, but in front of others, just call me Xiao Qing."
"No problem, Xiao Qing, little sister Xiao Qing," Xiao Wu called out a few times.
On the official road in the early morning, there weren't many people. The Dragon Horse wasn't running particularly fast.
Aotian sat at the front of the carriage, comfortably squinting his eyes in the morning sun.
The Dragon Horse, pulling the luxurious carriage, overtook a girl riding a black horse.
Aotian hadn't initially noticed the girl, but after being overtaken by the Dragon Horse, she seemed unwilling to accept it and spurred her horse to catch up.
The girl on the black horse wore a white dress. Her short, ear-length hair was neat and clean, her face exquisite, and her skin was incredibly fair and tender, so supple it looked as if a pinch would draw water.
The moment she overtook the Dragon Horse, the girl provocatively glanced at Aotian, a hint of smugness in her expression.
Aotian shook his head with a smile, closed his eyes, and ignored the childish girl.
The white-dressed girl was a little surprised by Aotian's handsome appearance, but when she saw him smiling and shaking his head, as if mocking her, she instantly became enraged.
"Giddy up!" the girl cried, spurring her horse to charge in front of the Dragon Horse.
That black horse also seemed very arrogant, neighing continuously.
At this, the Dragon Horse wasn't having any of it. Its master might tolerate it, but it certainly wouldn't.
It snorted, abruptly accelerated, and slammed its head into the black horse's rump.
That strong black horse, including the girl, was instantly sent flying.
The girl let out a long scream in the air, her mind blank. She had never seen a horse capable of ramming another so far away, nor had she even heard of such a thing.
The black horse flew more than ten meters before crashing to the ground. The girl was also thrown to the roadside, rolling a few times and getting covered in dust.
Immediately after, the black horse let out a terrified cry and bolted into the nearby farmland, disappearing into a tiny black dot within a few breaths.
"My horse! My horse!" The girl stood up, looking in the direction where the black horse had vanished, heartbroken.
Aotian's carriage had already stopped. He was at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, never expecting such a thing to happen.
Xiao Wu pulled open the carriage door and asked, "What happened?"
Aotian pointed at the white-dressed girl not far ahead and said, "Her horse was hit by the Dragon Horse, she took a fall, and her own horse ran away."
Xiao Wu asked confusedly, "The Dragon Horse is always so obedient. Why would it ram someone?"
"Because she deliberately rode her horse to block its path," Aotian explained.
Watching her horse disappear before her very eyes, the white-dressed girl was furious. She placed her hands on her hips and limped angrily toward Aotian.
