Chapter 266: with translation of chapter title

Senior sister, stop being busy making soul tools, hurry up and take your medicine.

Inside the Sea God's Pavilion, watching the blue-haired girl in front of her fully focused on engraving the core formation, Yu Huan sighed helplessly, five soul rings rose from her body, and as the first soul ring lit up, the room quickly filled with a light sweet fragrance.

The girl's body trembled slightly, her gaze slowly moved away from the core formation, and she looked at Yu Huan with a blank expression.

What's wrong?

Over the past year and a half, every time she was stared at by the girl's emotionless eyes, Yu Huan felt her heart jump, until recently this had improved.

She softly repeated:

Senior sister, it's time to take your medicine.

Saying this, she handed over the bowl she held containing clear liquid.

Oh.

The girl gave a faint response, took the bowl from her hand and drank it all down, then turned her gaze back to the core formation, picked up the engraving knife, and began carving.

Watching this scene, Yu Huan's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Her martial soul is Faint Fragrance, a rare scent-type martial soul.

The effect of her martial soul is very special; it is a healing type, but it can only heal the mind, and its applicable scope is extremely narrow.

She used to be a student in the Outer Courtyard of Shilake Academy, but unfortunately, with her talent, she ultimately failed to pass the inner courtyard examination and could only choose to leave.

However, unexpectedly, just as she was preparing to leave, the academy suddenly changed its mind, letting her stay and even allowing her to join Shilake Academy's Inner Courtyard.

In exchange, she must wholeheartedly provide personal treatment to the senior sister named Huo Yutong.

Yu Huan herself had no objection; after all, as a healing-system soul master, even if she left Shilake Academy she would likely end up working as a psychiatrist or similar, so now she could be considered to have started work early.

Moreover, speaking honestly, as a patient with a mental condition, Huo Yutong's situation is actually quite stable; she just lacks emotion, speaking to her yields no response, and she is extremely headstrong; besides that, she neither causes a ruckus nor destroys things everywhere, so she is actually quite low-maintenance.

But Yu Huan sometimes wonders what background this senior sister Huo Yutong has, that the academy would value her so much as to specially seek out a healing-system soul master specializing in the mental field to treat her.

This problem disappeared after troubling her for three months, because from that time onward Huo Yutong returned to the inner courtyard to begin studying.

At first, all the senior students of the inner courtyard were quite happy, after all gaining such a beautiful female classmate is a joy for anyone, at the very least it could serve as a pleasant sight.

But when a somewhat frivolous inner courtyard student publicly confessed to her, things got out of hand.

This senior sister named Huo Yutong couldn't even be bothered to look at the other person, and directly froze them into an ice sculpture.

If it weren't for a fire-attributed teacher coming to thaw the ice, who knows how much time that senior student would need to break out.

After that, the situation began to escalate more and more, becoming uncontrollable.

Especially after the Golden Crow Holy Maiden Wu Ming entered the fray, the incident escalated to its peak.

When Yu Huan learned that Wu Ming had sent a challenge letter to Huo Yutong, she was very anxious.

She desperately tried to persuade Huo Yutong, telling her how terrifying this inner courtyard's living volcano was, hoping she would retreat knowing the difficulty; but Huo Yutong seemed not to hear, and calmly went to the Dou Hun Qu to attend the banquet.

Then the battle ended with Huo Yutong's overwhelming victory.

Yu Huan also went to watch that match, and she doubts she will ever forget everything she saw on the stage in her lifetime.

The white-haired, blue-eyed girl expressionlessly released a sky-filling blizzard that swept across the entire stage; although the Golden Crow Holy Maiden struggled desperately, her golden flames could not break through the snowstorm's barrier no matter what, and even when she finally released her Martial Soul True Body it was to no avail, ultimately she could only resign herself to defeat.

Huo Yutong thus became famous from this battle, which let her fully establish her reputation within the inner courtyard.

With five soul rings she completely overwhelmed the seven-soul-ring Golden Crow Holy Maiden, which is almost unimaginable.

The inner courtyard has never feared students having individuality; what they value most is still the students' strength.

And Huo Yutong has already proven her strength through this battle, so she naturally can receive respect from all students.

From then on she also became the most famous female student in the inner courtyard.

After all, given the suppressive power Huo Yutong displayed, she likely possesses combat strength at the Soul Douluo level, putting her on par with Han Ruoruo and Zhang Lexuan.

But those two senior sisters are already in their thirties, while Huo Yutong herself is only sixteen or seventeen, in the prime of youthful beauty.

Age-appropriate, extremely strong strength, good looks, and hardware facilities can be said to be maxed out.

Therefore, even though her personality is quite eccentric, many senior students still take a liking to her.

But unfortunately, no matter how many senior students approach her or how many ways they confess, the answer they always get is only to be frozen into an ice sculpture.

This not only did not lower Huo Yutong's popularity, but actually raised it higher; she is called the inner courtyard's number one ice-cold beauty, and in the last popularity poll she even surpassed all other female students, achieving an astonishing second place, second only to the greatly respected senior sister Zhang Lexuan.

In this process, Yu Huan also gradually became numb to Huo Yutong's strength and adapted to her slightly eccentric personality.

The last time Huo Yutong displayed her strength was probably half a month ago, when the few exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Institute who were about to leave were challenged by that brother-sister pair.

When the six-soul-ring Red Dust siblings' jointly released Soul Fusion Technique was shattered by her single strike, her popularity reached its peak.

After all, originally the Red Dust siblings, as exchange students, were not particularly welcomed at Shilake Academy, yet their strength was still extremely strong, and among peers in the inner courtyard there really weren't many who could defeat them.

Bei Bei and these few contemporary members of the Shilake Seven Monsters also avoided fighting them because they didn't want to reveal too many of their trump cards prematurely; as a result, the inner courtyard students could only watch the opponents show off while being unable to do anything.

Huo Yutong's move this time can be said to have completely given the inner courtyard students a vent, and for a while there even arose a trend of becoming an inner courtyard hero.

Now the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Event is less than a week away, and many students are speculating what scene her participation in the Sea God's Fate will be.

After all, although Huo Yutong appears to greatly dislike anyone confessing to her, she is still single after all, and being single means she must participate in this event according to the academy's rules.

Many students even privately place bets on how many senior students will confess to her at this Sea God's Fate and then be turned into ice sculptures.

No one believes she will accept anyone's confession, after all the dozens of ice sculptures she has frozen over the past year and a half have made her attitude very clear.
