The boy chuckled and tried to soften his voice as he said, "I like a peaceful life and don't like being tied down. Huo Yuhao has his strengths, and I have mine, but I don't have the talent for it. I think Huo Yuhao is a good class monitor who can take good care of everyone."

"Also..." The boy paused for a moment as he spoke, smiling as he looked at Xiao Xiao, who was lost in thought.

"What else?" Xiao Xiao's curiosity was piqued, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the blush on her fair skin became particularly noticeable.

The boy chuckled and looked into the girl's dark eyes, then slowly uttered a few words with a hint of anticipation, "Also, I think Xiao Xiao is very cute."

For a moment, Xiao Xiao was still in a daze. A few seconds later, she came to her senses and lowered her head shyly on the table, her fair and slender neck blushing.

My heart was pounding. Who would have thought that this seemingly indifferent and calm boy would be so skilled at pleasing girls...

How embarrassing! Xiao Xiao didn't dare to look into Shen Yumo's deep eyes, and she even felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have come to provoke him.

Seeing this, Shen Yumo laughed and touched the girl's ponytail, feeling... feeling very strange.

I never knew the two Ice and Snow Emperors always liked to tease me like this. Now I know what it feels like. It's really true.

When that delicate hand touched her hair, Xiao Xiao's body trembled slightly, like a frightened little white rabbit about to perish in the wolf's mouth.

Her heart was in turmoil. How could such an unserious boy be so mature? And so... She felt like a little sister, and in front of her peers, he seemed like a gentle older brother!

That's terrifying...

I was completely powerless to fight back. I should have known better than to provoke him; it made me so embarrassed.

It felt like there was a fire burning inside me, and even though it was summer, I still felt incredibly hot.

Quiet.

Xiao Xiao looked up, only to find that there was no one in front of her, no trace of him, and all she could see were those mesmerizing sky-blue eyes.

He's not as scary as everyone says; he just looks cold on the outside.

I touched my cheek with one hand; it was burning hot, like I'd just taken a hot bath.

The blush of shyness hadn't faded yet, and Xiao Xiao pouted, "This makes me so awkward. People who don't know me would think I'm younger than you, but they don't know we're the same age."

Little did they know that Shen Yumo was only ten years old in this life.

……

Evening is always a pleasant time. Shen Yumo strolled leisurely through Shrek Academy. Of course, Shen Yumo wasn't the only one who felt this way; many students were walking together in pairs or groups of three.

Their school uniforms were also different colors—yellow, blue, and I even saw a few sixth-year students wearing black.

Shen Yumo could sense the immense soul power emanating from them, no weaker than his own. He couldn't help but secretly admire Tang San; this kid had been clever since childhood.

Just as Shen Yumo was leisurely making her way to the cafeteria, a rich aroma of grilled fish wafted past her nose.

Huo Yuhao's gaze darkened. He also had an impressive life skill: grilling fish!

.

Chapter 44 Jiang Nannan still appeared.

Huo Yuhao's gaze darkened. He also had an impressive life skill: grilling fish!

It's hard to believe that anyone other than Huo Yuhao could make it taste so good. Suddenly, a student wearing yellow clothes walked by, holding a skewer of grilled fish in his hand!

The fragrance lingered and did not dissipate, and the people around could smell it as well. One person even went up to ask the student in yellow a question. The student in yellow was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and pointed to the school gate. The person thanked him and then walked impatiently toward the gate.

The reason is that skewer of grilled fish; the tempting grilled fish that whets the taste buds and whets the appetite is indeed irresistible.

A blue-haired man stood to the side, watching the swaying grilled fish with a thoughtful expression, his eyes occasionally flashing with a cold light.

He has now come to the conclusion that the will of the main world storyline will try to connect the stories and minimize the influence of external factors.

Before the start of the semester, in the dormitory, after a fair transaction, he gave Huo Yuhao a small bag of gold soul coins.

Logically speaking, Huo Yuhao was penniless before, and might not even be able to afford food. But with this bag of gold soul coins, things are different. There's no need for him to sell grilled fish, as the profits are low. More importantly, it will lead to the plot.

Shen Yumo's initial actions were partly to see if his arrival would change certain aspects of the world's plot, but what happened today overturned his previous conclusions.

Although the world will change somewhat because of his arrival, there is a vague feeling that things are not simple, as if there is an invisible hand controlling everything behind the scenes.

A certain will will reject the actions of outsiders, and try to keep the plot consistent with the original development.

In other words, unless one has an exceptionally powerful ability to reverse everything, the entire plot will continue to unfold as it is. This means that one may not be able to interfere with the plot's trajectory, and thus the story will continue to develop.

Although it was just her own guess, the result after guessing really made Shen Yumo grit her teeth, and she didn't even feel the pain from her fingernails digging into her palm.

He was determined to change all of this. He had people he wanted to protect, and no one could touch his people. He didn't have much hatred for Huo Yuhao, but he couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he thought about the final fate of the Ice and Snow Emperors.

Shen Yumo is a selfish person, and also a person who is delusional. Some people say that I am forcing myself to act out a story, so what? Am I just going to let the plot develop smoothly and watch the things I care about most become someone else? If I can keep my two older sisters, becoming good friends with you would be something I would be more than happy to do.

If you truly cannot change all of this, then I, Shen Yumo, will have an irreconcilable hatred for you! No one can touch my sister.

Since some minor incidents couldn't trigger a butterfly effect and change the plot, he decided to do his best from this moment on.

Whenever he thinks of the gentle Ice and Snow Emperors, his heart softens unconsciously, but the thought that he probably can't change anything makes him hate them!

He hated that the two Ice and Snow Emperors had ultimately become his alone! Why?

I wish I could kill him right now!

The red light in his eyes gradually appeared, and a strong killing intent permeated the surrounding space. People say I'm mentally ill, a selfish and psychologically disturbed person. Well then, I'll become that kind of person. I won't let the public's opinion change my will and actions.

"Mmm! The grilled fish smells so good!"

Just then, a beautiful figure walked by, holding a grilled fish in her hand and taking a few bites every now and then.

Because of those words, a fierce glint flashed in Shen Yumo's eyes, before they returned to their usual sky-blue hue, eerily calm.

"Hmm?" The older girl passed by Shen Yumo. At first, she didn't pay attention to this first-year junior, but when she got closer, she saw that he had the same sky-blue hair and eyes, and was very handsome.

But just as she brushed past him, a chilling, indifferent aura swept over her, and she looked up in horror.

Where can you still see the figure of that boy you once passed by?

The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off; the more I thought about it, the stranger it became.

The woman's pale throat bobbed. Could it be that she'd encountered a ghost today? Don't scare me in broad daylight...

……

We must strive to change, even if it means becoming a ruthless and depraved criminal.

The main road outside the East Gate was indeed lined with numerous vendors. They sold everything imaginable, a dazzling array. Among them, food vendors were the most numerous, their calls filling the air. Clearly, they had all gathered here to do business with the Shrek Academy students.

The enticing aroma was getting closer and closer, and Shen Yumo's heart began to pound.

What are you expecting?

What am I expecting?

Stepping out of the solemn gate, I found a large crowd had gathered at the entrance, and wisps of smoke were rising from the end of the crowd.

Right there, after determining the direction, Shen Yumo took strange steps, which looked more like teleportation from behind.

He always managed to avoid other people's positions in time, weaving through the gaps in the crowd like a ghost. He still had that indifferent expression, as if no one in the world could catch his eye.

To others, it was just a fleeting glimpse; after rubbing their eyes, they noticed nothing...

As they drew closer, the gazes of those around them changed, fixed intently on Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall, as if it held an irresistible, priceless treasure.

Shen Yumo's heart skipped a beat; what was bound to happen had finally happened.

"Junior, how much is your grilled fish?" the stunningly beautiful girl asked softly.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had just handed over all eighteen grilled fish for which he had received payment, with only two left on the grill, which were reserved for Tang Ya.

"Senior, five copper soul coins per stick."

The stunningly beautiful girl frowned slightly and said, "It's a bit expensive. Considering the cost and your processing, three copper soul coins should be enough, and you'll still make a profit."

Huo Yuhao was taken aback. He hadn't expected that such a beautiful girl would bargain with him. No student had ever done that before.

At that moment, Shen Yumo also saw the girl next to the grilled fish stall.

She looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. Her golden hair cascaded down her back, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were like clear water. With each glance, she possessed an elegant and refined air. Like a crescent moon with a halo, like snow piled on flowering trees, her delicate and graceful movements were breathtakingly beautiful. Her stunning beauty seemed to make everything around her pale in comparison.

It really was her! Shen Yumo couldn't help but sigh with a somber expression. A few years ago, he passed by the Xuanming Sect and suddenly remembered Jiang Nannan's affair.

So he decided to go and see, not knowing which part of the story was at the time. If he happened to be there, he would make changes; if he missed it, he would just leave.

After learning that there was no such person in the Xuanming Sect, Shen Yumo prepared to leave. Night fell over the earth, and he walked through the residential area on the grass.

Chapter 45 He's Back

After learning that there was no such person in the Xuanming Sect, Shen Yumo prepared to leave. Night fell over the earth, and he walked through the residential area on the grass.

The people there were simple and warm-hearted. But then, a head of golden hair caught his eye. At that time, he changed her fate with just a few gold soul coins, and that's when they met.

Shrek still encountered...

Many thoughts welled up in my mind.

Over the years, Jiang Nannan has changed a lot. She no longer has that innocent and happy look she once had. Shen Yumo is self-righteous. He thinks that by helping her and curing her mother's illness, she will be free from worries and troubles. But he was just overthinking it. What's coming will come.

Looking at Jiang Nannan negotiating with Huo Yuhao, I suddenly noticed that she had a gentle and warm temperament. Coupled with the ever-present sorrow between her brows, she looked pitiful. Perhaps it was because of what she had been through.

……

"Sorry, my grilled fish is non-negotiable, and we've already sold out for today," Huo Yuhao said calmly. The price was set by Tang Ya, and he wouldn't change it easily. Besides, this income was very important to him, and it was just right. Although he had that huge sum of money before, he still wouldn't touch it. If he had the chance, he would return it to Shen Yumo.

The stunningly beautiful girl paused for a moment, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just did a quick calculation. If I have the chance in the future, I'll try it again." With that, she turned to leave. If she did turn around, she would surely find the person she had been longing for standing behind her.

Just then, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"Boy, do you dare not sell?" A deep, resonant voice, filled with anger, suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, a golden light shot straight toward Huo Yuhao's stall.

"Ding—" The golden light accurately struck the oven and embedded itself completely, revealing a gold soul coin. Immediately afterward, a figure strode over, quickly passing the beautiful girl and arriving at Huo Yuhao's stall, reaching out to grab the two grilled fish on his oven.

Because Huo Yuhao possessed the Spirit Eye Martial Soul and had been using his mental detection abilities, he quickly grabbed the grilled fish when the voice rang out.

This was meant for Senior Sister Tang Ya; how could he give it away to her?

The man's large hand didn't grab the grilled fish, but instead grabbed into the oven and actually caught several pieces of burning charcoal.

Only then did Huo Yuhao get a clear look at the person who had come in.

Shen Yumo, standing to the side, also saw the other person's appearance clearly. She was shocked and couldn't help but sigh at the assembly-line plot.
