Chapter 35: Depressed
At night in Shrek Academy, it was deathly silence! Birds flitted through the mountain forest, and suddenly a light flashed by, heading toward the dormitory building.
Back in the dormitory, Ling Mo adjusted his condition and soon fell asleep.
That day, Ling Mo’s soul power had been depleted several times, and his body was extremely fatigued, needing a good rest to recover.
Tang Hao had already left, no one knew what he was doing! It seemed like this time he left, he probably wouldn’t return for who knows how long.
Although he hadn’t appeared in these six years, Ling Mo could feel that he had always been watching Tang San, but this time… that feeling was gone.
When the sky began to show a pale dawn, a new day was about to begin.
Under the morning dew, a figure in the darkness quietly climbed onto the rooftop, facing the first ray of morning sunlight, and began meditation.
That was Tang San! Over these years, almost every day he did this, getting up to cultivate before dawn, and this firm will even impressed Ling Mo greatly.
“Xiao San! Morning…”
Ling Mo’s figure passed by under the dormitory building, spotting Tang San on the rooftop at a glance, and lazily greeted him.
“Morning…”
Tang San finished his cultivation and jumped down from the rooftop. Now his Purple Demon Eye cultivation was stuck at the second layer, his only hope being to break through after obtaining the third soul ring.
Almost every layer’s breakthrough was directly tied to a soul ring; that was the law of Douluo.
“Come on! Let’s go eat, I’m starving…”
He hadn’t eaten anything all yesterday, just a bit of Oscar’s sausage, and Ling Mo was already hungry with his chest sticking to his back.
“You go first! I’m going to find Xiao Wu…”
As expected, this guy couldn’t forget Xiao Wu no matter where he went. Ling Mo rolled his eyes and said, “Alright! The girls’ dormitory is on the other side of the academy, go by yourself…”
As early as yesterday, Ling Mo had already scouted the location of the girls’ dormitory; he had pretty much mapped out all the large and small areas of the academy!
It was mainly his occupational habit kicking in. After leaving the small forest in the middle of the night, Ling Mo wandered around Shrek Academy, wanting to see if there were any tombs here and if there were good things inside. He had just casually checked out the girls’ dormitory, absolutely no other ideas.
Hearing Ling Mo’s words, Tang San was stunned for a moment, wondering how he knew where the girls’ dormitory was.
But for Tang San, who was familiar with Ling Mo, this seemed too normal! Every time this guy arrived at a new terrain, the first thing he did was scout the terrain.
He called it convenient for escaping when things went wrong.
“You go ahead! I’ll go find Xiao Wu first…”
Tang San said speechlessly, probably already understanding what Ling Mo had been up to last night. He must have been searching the hills for graves again with that shovel he claimed was a divine artifact.
“See ya!”
Waving his hand, Ling Mo headed straight for the canteen; his stomach couldn’t take the hunger anymore.
Turning left and right, Ling Mo bypassed the teaching building and arrived directly at the canteen.
As soon as he entered, he saw there were already people inside! Two girls, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
What puzzled Ling Mo was that Zhu Zhuqing getting up this early was normal, but why was this little witch up so early too?
With her lazy personality, she should still be deep in her sweet dreams at this hour, but unexpectedly she was up so early.
“Hehe, these two girls, not seen for a day, how do they seem even prettier?”
Glancing at the two, seeing no one else around, Ling Mo immediately revealed a sly smile and gradually became bolder.
However, these two seemed quite unfamiliar with each other; they weren’t sitting together but separated by several tables.
Ling Mo figured he couldn’t afford to provoke that little witch and charged straight toward Zhu Zhuqing.
“Hey, babe! Morning… muah…”
While Zhu Zhuqing was still dazed, Ling Mo shamelessly kissed her again, then quickly backed away with a lecherous grin.
Damn, this guy still wouldn’t behave even after arriving at the academy! Zhu Zhuqing’s originally good mood early in the morning couldn’t be suppressed anymore.
“Pervert, you’re asking for a beating…”
As soon as the words fell, her martial soul possessed her, and the first soul skill Netherworld Stab activated instantly.
But unexpectedly, when she reached Ling Mo’s position, his figure suddenly appeared behind her, and he smoothly hugged her, pulling her entire body into his arms.
“Nyah nyah nyah, can’t hit me, can’t hit me, mad yet? The more you struggle, the more excited I get…”
Carefully feeling the soft body in his arms, a fresh fragrance hitting his nose, Ling Mo almost lost control, quickly letting go and retreating to a safe distance.
“So enchanting! If I weren’t afraid of her Spirit Cat clan chasing me down, I’d just carry her back to Rice Fragrance Village…”
Glad he stayed relatively calm, Zhu Zhuqing’s alluring figure was like a deadly poison; one hug and he was addicted!
Girls, which man doesn’t like them, especially this kind of devilish figure top beauty; Ling Mo was no exception.
It was just that he didn’t yet have the strength to disregard the Star Luo Empire, so he could only take some small advantages.
However, with mountains high and emperor far away, in the Heaven Dou Empire, Ling Mo didn’t need to worry about people from the Star Luo Empire coming to settle scores with him!
“You…”
Zhu Zhuqing’s face was flushed red, getting angrier the more she looked at Ling Mo, but the angrier she got, the more useless it was.
Through their interactions over this time, she had pretty much figured out Ling Mo’s style! The more you resisted this guy, the happier he was; if you didn’t resist, on the contrary, he wouldn’t do anything too outrageous.
After calming down, Zhu Zhuqing coldly glanced at him, not planning to settle scores, and directly ignored Ling Mo.
“Huh?”
Zhu Zhuqing returned to the table to eat, not planning to continue settling scores with Ling Mo, which left him extremely frustrated.
Actually, Zhu Zhuqing also understood that she couldn’t beat Ling Mo, no matter how hard she tried.
The only opportunity was when his soul power was depleted and he was in poor condition! Just like last time.
But such opportunities were rare. Zhu Zhuqing now somewhat regretted it; if she had known, she wouldn’t have brought this guy to Shrek Academy, but taken him to some deserted place, imprisoned him, and given him a good punishment.
“Your reaction isn’t right! Don’t you want to hit me? Aren’t you mad?”
Having finally gotten into an excited state, Ling Mo wanted to take more advantage; how could it be like this.
With Zhu Zhuqing not resisting, Ling Mo instead felt it was pointless, really boring!
“Get lost…”
The incessant chatter from the side annoyed Zhu Zhuqing to no end; she coldly glanced at Ling Mo and chose to continue ignoring him.
Watching him anxious beside her, she instead revealed a smug smile.
“As expected! The more you ignore this guy, the more uncomfortable he gets…”
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have grasped Ling Mo’s weakness and continued ignoring him, watching his dumbfounded expression, wanting to laugh but holding it back.
“Argh, pissing me off! She actually ignores me…” After trying various methods, Zhu Zhuqing still ignored him, and Ling Mo fumed.
No matter how he teased her, she wouldn’t pay attention, which instead felt like she was accepting his behavior, leaving Ling Mo utterly uninterested.
Just as the saying goes, the harder to get, the more precious; the easier to get, the less cherished.
After trying various methods and her still ignoring him, Ling Mo turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong on the other side.
“Hehe, this girl has a fiery temperament; should be fun, right?”
