Shrek Academy Is Thriving

At the Royal Soul-Driving Device Academy of the Sun Moon Empire, Meng Hongchen slammed loudly on her brother's door and shouted:

"Xiao! Come out quickly! Come with me!"

Xiao Hongchen, who was at the final step of making a soul-driving device, was so startled by the sudden banging and shouting that his hand trembled, and the carving knife accidentally scratched a groove on the core of the soul-driving device, immediately ruining the nearly completed Grade 4 device in his hand.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

Frustrated, Xiao Hongchen slammed the table hard and roared in dissatisfaction:

"Why? Why must you disturb me at the most critical moment? Meng! This time I'm definitely going to teach you a serious lesson!"

After saying that, Xiao Hongchen angrily opened the door. The moment he saw Meng Hongchen outside, the anger on his face instantly turned into a smile so fast it could've blown everyone's mind!

"What's up, Meng? Do you need your brother's help with something?"

Meng Hongchen glanced at the ruined Grade 4 soul-driving device on the table and said a bit sheepishly:

"Did I come at a bad time? Did I disturb your soul-driving device making?"

Xiao Hongchen waved his hand casually, looking completely unfazed.

"What are you talking about? What soul-driving device can compare to you? That thing's ruined, no big deal."

For the hardcore sister-loving Xiao Hongchen, a little Grade 4 soul-driving device has no right to be mentioned in the same breath as his adorable little sister.

Meng Hongchen smiled brightly, eyes curved in delight:

"You really are the best to me, Xiao!"

Receiving the compliment, Xiao Hongchen grinned broadly, trying hard not to laugh and scratching his head:

"You're not hearing this for the first time, right? By the way, you just said you want me to go out with you? Where? What's the matter?"

Meng Hongchen nodded repeatedly, thinking of how Huo Yuhao was currently rushing towards the Sun Moon Empire. She immediately twirled a lock of her silvery hair beside her cheek with her fair fingers.

"Yes, yes! I want you to come with me to find Huo and take a walk outside. Don't you think staying in the academy all the time is a bit stuffy? Since it's not the start of school yet, it's the perfect time to look around."

Halfway through, Meng Hongchen suddenly realized she couldn't explain anything about Huo Yuhao—the existence of the diary couldn't be told to outsiders, not even family.

Huo Yuhao just said in his diary that he wasn't too eager to come to the Sun Moon Empire, which gave Meng Hongchen a slight sense of crisis.

If she didn't know, it would be one thing, but now knowing Huo Yuhao was the Empire's chosen Child of Destiny and a complete "freak," there was no way she'd let him go anywhere else!

Since Huo Yuhao hadn't yet figured out how to smoothly join the Royal Soul-Driving Device Academy, Meng Hongchen decided to proactively send some warmth his way.

Although Xiao Hongchen still couldn't quite understand why Meng Hongchen suddenly wanted to go roaming, since it was his little sister's request, naturally he wouldn't refuse.

After Xiao Hongchen agreed and started packing, Meng Hongchen clenched her small fists with a triumphant look.

"Ready, Huo Yuhao? I'm coming to see you soon! I'm really curious about how you'll rate me!"

"Running? What does that mean?"

In the dormitory, Wang Dong'er was puzzled by the last line in the diary but didn't think too much of it. What she cared about was that Huo Yuhao only needed two days to reach the Sun Moon Empire.

According to Wang Dong'er's guess, Huo Yuhao's diary copy was probably not unique to her alone.

If people in the Sun Moon Empire also had diary copies, they must already know Huo Yuhao's identity as the Child of Destiny and understand how important he was.

This way, Huo Yuhao would easily be able to join the Royal Soul-Driving Device Academy as planned.

"If that's true, when should I leave Shrek Academy?"

Just as Wang Dong'er was lost in thought, a knock on the door suddenly made her alert. Since learning the truth, she felt this so-called number one academy on Douluo Continent was full of dangers; a small mistake could lead to encountering traps set by Tang San.

That's why she had been on edge ever since arriving at Shrek Academy.

"Wang Dong, someone's looking for you."

Hearing this, Wang Dong'er relaxed and opened the door to see a plain-looking girl waving at her kindly downstairs.

Wang Dong'er was puzzled—official school started tomorrow, and apart from the senior Zhang Lexuan who had already left, she didn't know anyone.

Could she be the backup left behind by Tang San? Or is she like me, someone who also has a diary copy?

Thinking of these two totally different possibilities, Wang Dong'er raised her guard to the max but decided to find out what the visitor wanted.

As Wang Dong'er scrutinized the girl, Xiao Xiao was also watching her.

At least on the surface, there was no way to tell that Wang Dong'er was actually a girl disguised as a boy, just like herself.

Moreover, with Wang Dong'er's current look and temperament, Xiao Xiao felt that without the mysterious diary revealing her identity, she might actually develop feelings for her.

Imagining that scene made Xiao Xiao blush unconsciously.

Everyone loves beauty; as a girl, liking a good-looking guy is natural. But if she liked girls, Xiao Xiao felt she might need to see a doctor.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Xiao Xiao's daydream was interrupted by this question. After cautiously looking around, she whispered:

"My name is Xiao Xiao. Like you, I'm a freshman. Want to go out together? I have something to tell you."

Wang Dong'er gave her a look full of suspicion and caution:

"What? Can't you say it here?"

Xiao Xiao sighed and shook her head:

"I can't say it here."

Wang Dong'er's pupils shrank as she immediately realized that Xiao Xiao was not Tang San's backup but also someone who had Huo Yuhao's diary copy.

Without hesitation, she walked with Xiao Xiao toward the gate of Shrek Academy. If others were around, they couldn't talk about the diary.

Shortly after Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao left, fellow freshmen Ning Tian and Wu Feng came looking for Wang Dong'er. Being told she wasn't there, they left helplessly.

Sitting on a recliner, Moon watched Ning Tian and Wu Feng leave and shook his head, chuckling:

"What an interesting bunch of kids. Just starting school and already trying to get close to the opposite sex? Being around these kids even makes me feel younger."

"I just don't know where Lexuan went, but with her level 84 Soul Douluo strength, as long as she doesn't stir up trouble in those places, she should be back soon, right?"

"Anyway, our Shrek Academy is really thriving!"
