The spirit devouring fierce blade was definitely a great opportunity.
After all, the creator of the spirit devouring fierce blade was an Evil Soul Master from three thousand years ago, and it contained evil Spirits and curses. Stimulated by such power, that old timer Electrolux really had a high chance of waking up.
Even if that couldn't wake him, the huge temptation of the gold of living beings would be enough to make him stir.
After all, the gold of living beings was the solid form of the Ultimate Life Origin, containing infinite pure vitality. For Electrolux, if he could host his Divine Sense within it and be nourished by the Life Origin, he naturally wouldn't have to worry about dissipating and could even grow stronger.
Moreover, Ao Yao needed to provide such a dwelling for Electrolux.
He couldn't let the old timer live in his spiritual sea forever, could he?
It was fine while the old guy was asleep, but once he woke up, it would indeed be somewhat inconvenient.
Even in the worst-case scenario, if the spirit devouring fierce blade failed to wake Electrolux, the blade wouldn't cause Ao Yao any erosion or harm.
After all, he still had the demon orb, an ultimate Spirit.
A mere little curse couldn't do anything to him.
Speaking of which, he didn't know how Huo Yuhao was doing. That guy hadn't been heard from since being kicked out of Shrek Academy; he wondered if he had obtained the Ice Empress as a Spirit yet.
If the Sacrifice of the Ice Empress had gone smoothly and he possessed the Ultimate Ice Spirit, Huo Yuhao might have already entered the Primal Being Sect...
Or maybe the Holy Spirit Cult?
Well, that was unlikely.
Seemingly sensing the burning gaze fixed on her, Xu Jiujiu subconsciously turned around, her eyes also locking onto Ao Yao.
Simply because Ao Yao was far too conspicuous.
Ao Yao's appearance was like a standout even in a massive crowd, like a dazzling star; it was hard for her not to notice him.
Since entering Shrek Academy, Xu Jiujiu had been looking for a suitable opportunity to have a good interaction with Ao Yao. Even if she couldn't get the rewards from the diary book, she wanted to establish a good relationship with him.
Of course, it wasn't just as simple as a good relationship.
If possible, Xu Jiujiu wanted to go a step further and tie Ao Yao firmly to the Star Luo Imperial Family.
That way, with Ao Yao's protection, whether the Sun Moon Empire started a war in the future or the Dai Family sought revenge after Huo Yuhao became a god, the Star Luo Imperial Family could endure forever.
As for herself... Xu Jiujiu hadn't considered that at all.
As a princess of the Star Luo Empire, it was her resolve to share the burdens of the Imperial Family and the Empire.
If sacrificing herself was all it took to tie Ao Yao—who was destined to become a god—to the Star Luo Imperial Family, it was a bargain no matter how one looked at it.
Moreover, Ao Yao's appearance was indeed outstanding enough.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiujiu turned and whispered a few instructions to the students of the Star Luo Royal Academy beside her, then got up and walked toward Ao Yao.
Xu Jiujiu's movements naturally attracted the attention of many.
This was only human nature.
After all, whether in terms of looks or status, Xu Jiujiu was almost at the peak.
However, Xu Jiujiu ignored the surrounding gazes and walked straight to Ao Yao.
Ao Yao, who was boredly playing with Ning Tian's and Meng Hongchen's small hands, looked up and suddenly saw Xu Jiujiu standing before him.
At this moment, Xu Jiujiu was looking at him with a beaming smile, her voice crisp and pleasant:
"Hello, can we get to know each other?"
After saying this, Xu Jiujiu's heart was also pounding.
This way of striking up a conversation... seemed a bit too bold.
If she were rejected by Ao Yao, she hadn't even thought about how to handle the situation.
Fortunately, Ao Yao only paused for a moment and didn't daze for too long, quickly flashing a smile: "Of course, Princess Jiujiu."
Seeing this, Ning Tian and Meng Hongchen glanced at each other, both seeing the doubt and wariness in each other's eyes.
Having received Ao Yao's affirmative answer, Xu Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became much more sincere: "You... know me?"
As she spoke, Xu Jiujiu subconsciously reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"When Princess Jiujiu brought the exchange delegation from the Star Luo Royal Academy to Shrek Academy, it was quite a spectacle. Of course I've seen you."
"My name is Ao Yao."
Xu Jiujiu nodded and found a seat next to Meng Hongchen, her voice gentle: "Calling me Princess Jiujiu is too formal; just call me Jiujiu."
Watching Xu Jiujiu sit down right next to her like that, Meng Hongchen subconsciously puffed her cheeks, really wanting to say something to her.
Your Highness the Princess of the Star Luo Empire, please show some self-respect!
Didn't you see Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and me beside Ao Yao?
What do you mean by this!
Isn't it too much to just sit down and ignore us like that?
Meng Hongchen finally understood Ning Tian's feelings from when she first talked to Ao Yao; in contrast, Ning Tian's expression was clearly much calmer.
It's just practice makes perfect.
No... what right does he have!?
This was the collective internal monologue of the vast majority of male students present after seeing Xu Jiujiu sit down next to Ao Yao.
Is it just because he's a bit more handsome than them?
Well... actually, he's more than just a bit more handsome, but it shouldn't be enough for Xu Jiujiu, a dignified princess of the Star Luo Empire, to take the initiative to chat with this kid and even sit next to him, right?
Moreover, there are already three top-tier beauties sitting beside this kid!
He didn't know if it was his imagination, but Ao Yao felt like he could hear the sound of things cracking all around him.
I just have a few more beauties around me; is there any need for you all to grind your teeth to pieces?
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi also noticed Xu Jiujiu and Ao Yao.
Their main focus was on Ao Yao; Xu Jiujiu was entirely incidental.
The two shared a common grudge over stolen wives. They had noticed Ao Yao the moment he arrived at the Soul Dueling Platform. Now seeing Xu Jiujiu also sitting next to him, the two were starting to lose their cool.
"That damn guy, he already has Xiao Ya, yet he's still out there flirting everywhere!"
"The girls around this kid are getting prettier and prettier... and he even dared to hook up with Nannan!"
Xu Sanshi gnashed his teeth in hatred.
He would never forget the humiliation Ao Yao had brought him that day.
He, a dignified Fifth Year student, was actually slapped unconscious by a First Year freshman, and he even heard Jiang Nannan say such hurtful words.
What was even more unacceptable to Xu Sanshi was that Jiang Nannan had actually confessed to this kid!
No man could endure such humiliation!
Ao Yao, is it... if I don't kill you, I'm not a man!
