Volume 36, Chapter 508.2: A Blind Date Alone? (1/2)
Fairy #3 nodded and spoke. “Hello Huo Yuhao! I am Bai Se, but everyone calls me Xiao Bai. As of now, I’m a six-ringed Soul Emperor, which is a long way from you. To be honest, even before I entered the inner courtyard, I had already heard about your achievements in the Academy. Even though I entered the inner courtyard two years before you, you overtook me with so much ease. If I were to be very frank, I would say my feelings are borne out of curiosity rather than mere attraction. I have always revered strong soul masters and hence, whoever wants to take me as their partner must first defeat me. Even if you don’t choose me, I would challenge you to a duel in the later segment. That’s all I have to say. It’s up to you to choose me or not!”
This self-introduction was truly badass… She didn’t waste any time with flowery words, and laid her credentials and thoughts bare. She was a true badass heroine!
Huo Yuhao nodded politely as he remained silent.
Zhang Lexuan was resigned as she shook her head. Xiao Bai… You’re still as blunt as ever… It seems like it will be rather difficult for you to find a husband in the future… You’re no different from a man...
“Alright. Now let us welcome Fairy #6!”
Fairy #6 was a gentle-looking lady who had not been wearing a bamboo hat. She stepped forward before gently bowing before Huo Yuhao. She spoke softly, “Hello Senior Huo, my name is Mu Yue. Similar to Xiao Bai, I heard about your incredible stories some time ago. Because I just entered the inner courtyard this year, my abilities are probably not worth mentioning. I just want you to know that I really admire you a lot. Your stories have been my source of motivation, to challenge myself and become better. Even though today is my first time meeting you in person, you have already left an indelible mark in my mind.”
Her introduction was even shorter than Xiao Bai’s, and she did not mention much about herself. But her self-introduction showed a lot more affection than Xiao Bai’s. Furthermore, Mu Yue had an enormous advantage in her voice. The way she talked was very gentle and melodic. Even Huo Yuhao was surprised at how perfect her voice was.
Similar to how he reacted to Xiao Bai’s introduction, Huo Yuhao nodded silently.
“Now let us welcome Fairy #11.” Zhang Lexuan announced. “You can also choose whether you want to remove your bamboo hat for Huo Yuhao.”
“I’m sorry, eldest senior sister. As of now, I don’t want to remove my bamboo hat. I hope that Huo Yuhao can take it off for me.” A calm and clear voice rang out from underneath the bamboo hat. Even though her voice was almost a monotone, one could sense the emotions brimming in her choice of words.
“Hi Huo Yuhao, my name is Su Tong. I’m a seven-ringed Soul Sage, and my martial soul is the Icesky Snow Lady.” Her introduction was even shorter than the two ladies before her. However, her last line was enough to catch Huo Yuhao’s attention. Icesky Snow Lady?!Unless... Su Tong also possesses Ultimate Ice?
From what Huo Yuhao knew, even in the Extreme North, the Snow Empress was the only Icesky Snow Lady around. There was no other known Icesky Snow Ladies. No one had expected to find someone with the Icesky Snow Lady martial soul among humans.
Huo Yuhao was not the only one shocked by Su Tong’s words. Even Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, and some of the higher-ups from Shrek Academy were taken aback by her words.
Elder Xuan turned around and asked Yan Shaozhe, “Shaozhe, what’s going on? When did we have a student with an Icesky Snow Lady martial soul in our inner courtyard? Why was I not informed of this?”
Yan Shaozhe gave an awkward laugh. “Elder Xuan, even I was not aware of this. Su Tong was only admitted into the Academy recently. When she just entered, she told us her Martial Soul was a Snow Spirit, a powerful Ice element Martial Soul. She never told us her Martial Soul was actually an Icesky Snow Lady, and we never detected her Ultimate Ice ability. It seems like she must have purposely concealed her abilities… None of us expected her to do so.”
Elder Xuan paused before saying, “How old is Su Tong this year?”
Yan Shaozhe replied, “She’s twenty—quite a bit older than Huo Yuhao. However, she possesses an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. It is notoriously hard for a twenty-year-old to train one’s Ultimate Ice to the Soul Sage level. Her future must be unbelievably bright.”
Elder Xuan nodded and said, “Let’s wait and see. Who knows? Yuhao might be able to uncover more unknown things about her.”
Bai Se, Mu Yue, and Su Tong were all attractive candidates in their own ways.
Bai Se exuded the vibes of an energetic and driven heroine. Mu Yue was unbelievably gentle, while Su Tong, like Huo Yuhao, possessed Ultimate Ice, and was enshrouded in an air of mystery.
But even then, they were unable to overshadow Tang Wutong.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Tang Wutong and announced, “Fairy #8, it’s your turn.”
While the three ladies were giving their self-introductions, Tang Wutong was just standing there silently, occasionally frowning and stealing glances at Huo Yuhao. She had a confused look on her face as a tinge of melancholy crept across it. Her anxious breathing could not hide the uneasy feelings in her heart.
