Bab 41: Yuanen Yehui
A/N: I don't know if I managed to capture Yuanen's character at all so if you any feedback on that, it would be nice. Also, I've already finished Huang Yu's power sheet and posted it as an auxilliary chapter. If you wanna take a look at this current powers and maybe get some subtle spoilers you can go take a look. : )
In a room pervaded by and heavy with the element of darkness, a purple halo lit up, driving back some of the oppressive atmosphere.
"My Lord," a deep voice said deferentially, its owner kneeling. In spite of his human appearance, he had an aura as frightening as the abyss.
"Mn." A petite figure emerged, a sight for sore eyes in the midst of the heavy room.
"What's the progress?" A delicate voice rang, as if from a young girl. Long blackish-purple hair that was tied into a ponytail swayed behind her as she spoke.
"We have already completely integrated ourselves and collected information from all parties."
"Very good. I shall take a look at it later."
"My Lord, what about the child with the Sage's Body? Should we capture him for his blood essence? It's not strong enough yet, but it should be enough for you..."
A sneer made its way onto the face of the petite figure clad in shadows. "You'll do no such thing! If you dare to talk about this again, I will personally rip your tongue out of your throat!"
The owner of the deep voice's eyes widened. Then, he immediately bent into a kowtow. "I apologise for overstepping my boundaries, my Lord. It's just that this one was curious why you changed your mind about using him..."
"Are you questioning my decisions?" The delicate female voice seemed to become cold.
"No, my Lord. I apologise once more for my transgressions."

"Dear guests and travellers, we have arrived at the greatest city on the Douluo Continent, Shrek City. Shrek City's roots extend tens of thousands of years..."
At this moment, Huang Yu was sitting in a soul train. As one could tell from the announcements, he, along with the other students of class zero, were heading straight to Shrek City.
Why? To join Shrek Academy of course.
The first time Huang Yu heard of Shrek Academy, he couldn't help but burst into giggles. When he was asked for the reason for that by Wu Zhangkong, his reply was that it reminded him of a green ogre.
Ah… the memories of watching Shrek still existed in his mind vividly. His favourite song was from that movie.
One could say that it was one of his 'All Star' favourites.
Ba dum tss.
Get it?
…
No? Ok, I'll stop with the puns here.
Sitting right next to him, was Gu Yue. She was fast asleep at that moment with her head lying on his shoulder. Seeing her drool on his shirt sleeve, he found her quite cute and infuriating at the same time.
Although he really wanted to wake her up to stop her from drooling on his sleeve, he couldn't bring himself to do so. In the end, he just ignored it and looked outside the window to appreciate the scenery of Shrek City.
Eventually, they arrived at the station. Oh wait, it was 'soul' station wasn't it? Couldn't forget about the extra prefixes for everything in Xianxia.
As the soul train slowly came to a halt, Huang Yu poked Gu Yue's cheek to wake her up.
Doing so, her sparkling, purple eyes slowly opened. She rubbed her eyes a bit before asking Huang Yu slightly drowsily, "Are we already here?"
"Yup."
Along with the other students of class zero and Wu Zhangkong, they all departed the soul train.
"Let's first find an inn." Wu Zhangkong said frostily when everyone had gathered in front of him.
The inn Wu Zhangkong chose didn't really fit the definition of luxurious. It had an antique feel with its simple architecture and mottled exterior of stone and wood.
Each room had one bed, two bedside cabinets, a wardrobe, a desk and a chair. Only two people could fit in the washroom at a time, and it had four white walls with a window showing the view of the train station.
All in all, it could be considered a very spartan room.
After everyone went into their respective rooms, Huang Yu decided to go get a change of clothes. His shirt sleeve still had Gu Yue's drool all over it and he had been courteous enough to not tell her that.
With a quick change of his clothing, he left the inn to go get a look around the city. Wu Zhangkong had left with Tang Wulin to get something and Gu Yue had said that she wanted to cultivate.
Walking around and getting a good tour of the city for a few hours, he finally felt a hint of hunger and went into a cafe owned by Nox for a meal.
Inside, he found himself having to wait in a long queue. Seeing this, he made a quick call to Guang Biao. It was unfair for the customers but wasn't it his cafe anyways?
A few minutes later, he was quickly seated.
At the table, he was waited on by a waitress with long, fiery red hair, a fair face and a slim build. With a smile on her face, she introduced herself.
"Good day sir, my name is Yuanen Yehui. What would you like today?"
Although she hid it well, Huang Yu could tell that her smile felt rather unnatural and slightly forced. It seemed that Guang Biao had asked for him to receive service like this again even though he asked him not to do so for many times.
This was why he liked asking Xiao Chen to do things more. She always listened to him properly. Too bad that she was currently on a mission.
Huang Yu sighed. "Miss Yuanen?"
"Y,yes?" Yuanen Yehui felt a bit of trepidation when she heard Huang Yu's sigh. Was he unsatisfied with her service? The manager had told her that the red-haired boy in front of her was considered a VVIP. If he wasn't happy with her, she'd lose this job faster than you could say "Fired".
She didn't know if she had done something wrong, but she had heard that VVIPs were very eccentric people.
"You don't have to act like this y'know. It's fine. I don't know what they told you but just be yourself."
Hearing that, she sighed in relief in her head. With this, although she didn't fully relax, her smile became a bit more natural.
She took Huang Yu's order before she left. After fifteen minutes, she returned with a plate of medium-rare steak with some fries at the side.
As she placed the plate on the table, Huang Yu suddenly asked, "Are you from Shrek Academy?" There was a curious look on his face as he said so.
The reason he asked this question was because he had felt her Spirit Master cultivation. Although he couldn't pinpoint its exact level, he knew that she wasn't a pushover and that the spirit energy in her body was particularly dense in a way that indicated she had twin martial spirits.
Although normally a person wouldn't be able to tell this, with all the times he had allowed his senses to investigate with another person's body for genetic engineering, he had gotten a lot better at pinpointing the strength of others.
A look of shock appeared on Yuanen's face when she heard his words. "How did you know?"
"I'm a wizard." he joked.
Yuanen couldn't help but laugh when she heard his words. The expressions on her face became a lot more natural after this.
'Maybe those stories about VVIPs being assholes were just rumours? This guy seems pretty decent."
However, she didn't ask about it again. Since he had joked about it, it probably meant that he didn't want to tell. It wasn't tactful to dig when someone clearly didn't want to tell.
Huang Yu continued to chat with Yuanen for a while. Throughout the conversation, she had gotten a pretty decent impression of him.
After he finished his meal, he gave his thanks before he left.
As Huang Yu walked away, Yuanen couldn't help but think that it would be much better if she could have customers that were as friendly as this more often. Most of the time, the customers she served were pretty rude or liked to harass her because of her beauty. However, Huang Yu seemed to treat her with friendliness although he was a VVIP.
Unbeknownst to her, Huang Yu also had his own thoughts about her as he walked back to the inn.
'What was that dark energy I felt inside her?'
