Chapter 31: Yi, go, no one
At the end of the hour of Xu, the cafeteria of Shrek Academy was about to close. The absent-minded Zhou Yi finally finished her dinner. After cleaning up, she was the only one left in the huge cafeteria that could accommodate tens of thousands of teachers and students, except for the chefs.

Even the students in the freshman class left early, practicing when they should practice and sleeping when they should sleep.

The chef looked at Zhou Yi, who was still tense, and asked with concern, "Mr. Zhou, you don't look right today?"

Zhou Yi shuddered as if it was a conditioned reflex, but she was a high-level Soul Emperor after all, so she quickly adjusted herself: "It's okay, maybe there are too many things to do at the beginning of the school year."

The head chef did not ask her about her personal affairs. He just said "take care of yourself" and watched Zhou Yi leave the Shrek cafeteria which was about to close.

The chef locked the doors and windows and went back to rest. However, when he turned around, he saw a streak of still-wriggling scarlet reflected on a glass window.

Shrek City is very prosperous, and it is still brightly lit even at night.

But tonight's darkness seemed out of place.

It was quiet and cold, with the howling and chilly evening wind no longer making people feel comfortable. From time to time, one could hear the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The moon and stars were gone, as if they were eroded by clouds and haze. The lights in Shrek's cafeteria were completely turned off and closed, with only the street lamps on both sides providing a weak light source.

Zhou Yi walked alone on the street at night. It was deathly silent all around her. There was not even the sound of cicadas or birds. She could feel a slight chill from time to time.

Will high-level Soul Emperors be affected by the climate?
In Zhou Yi's subconscious, she always felt that something was wrong there, but when she turned around, there was nothing but silence and the street lights were still on, as if there was nothing wrong.

The entrance to Shrek City in the distance was also brightly lit, but the cries of vendors could not reach here.

sizzle...

It seemed like the sound of a short circuit, which instantly alerted Zhou Yi. He turned around and saw that the light flashing in the bulb of a street lamp was no longer a pale yellow light, but a ferocious dark red eyeball.

"■Yi, hurry■!"

There was an intermittent sound of electricity in her ears, as if someone was calling out, and Zhou Yi instinctively wanted to summon her martial soul, but she was unable to move in an instant.

"Who...you...this is Shrek Academy!"

The dark red eye in the street lamp narrowed, as if mocking her ignorance. It twisted and flashed strangely, and appeared in the second street lamp, followed by the third, and the fourth...

"Hee hee hee……"

The laughter, which could not be distinguished between a man and a woman, was getting closer to Zhou Yi as the street lights approached.

“Dean, Dean! Fanyu! Fanyu!!”

Zhou Yi shouted at the top of her lungs, but Shrek seemed like a dead city and no one responded to her.

Finally, the dark red eyeball came to the street lamp closest to her and widened instantly!
“Ahhhh——!!”

Boom! !
The scream was extremely piercing, but the subsequent explosion seemed to break the deadlock, and Zhou Yi found that she could finally move.

“Yi Yi!!”

A man's voice woke her up.

The man was tall, about 1.8 meters tall, with very broad shoulders. He was wearing a simple cloth, with his thick and strong arms exposed, revealing muscles like granite. His face had clear lines and his eyes were heavy and solemn. When he stood there, he gave people a sense of standing like a mountain.

Seeing him, Zhou Yi seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Husband, save me!!"

Fan Yu took one step, every ten meters, and quickly picked Zhou Yi up from the ground, holding her in her arms like a princess. With her husband as a support, she finally felt a little relieved and a little sense of security.

Fan Yu was using all eight rings, looking gloomily at the street lamp that was shattered by his shot.

"Who is it? You are such a coward!!"

sizzle...

No one responded to him except the sound of breaking electricity.

Hiding in Fan Yu's arms, Zhou Yi was already scared to death. She hugged her husband's neck tightly and cried, "Husband, hurry up, run first! Go find the dean and the others!!"

Fan Yu used his other hand to comfort his wife in his arms: "Don't be afraid, Yiyi, I just used a level 7 soul guide cannon. Even a Titled Douluo would be injured if you are not careful!" "Really? Is it true?" Zhou Yi was still not sure, because the scene just now was too scary.

"Yi, open it!"

That creepy voice suddenly sounded again, intermittently. This time, a hint of urgency could be heard. Zhou Yi didn't dare to open her eyes again.

"Fan Yu, run, let's go home!!"

Fan Yu, holding her in his arms, gritted his teeth, holding a light soul guide cannon in his hand, and ran towards a building without looking back.

"Yi, go, don't..."

No matter how Fan Yu ran with Zhou Yi in his arms, the devilish whispers kept echoing in his ears!

Zhou Yi didn't dare to open her eyes, and could only shout in fear: "Fan Yu, haven't you found the dean and the others yet?!"

"It's almost there, it's almost there! Yiyi, don't be afraid!!"

While comforting his wife in his arms, Fan Yu ran like crazy to the teachers' dormitory, where Yan Shaozhe and other college executives were resting.

"We're here, we're here, we're safe!!"

The biting cold was gone, and the haunting whispers seemed to have disappeared as well, replaced by the warmth of the soul-guided air-conditioning and bright lights.

Zhou Yi then dared to open her eyes again, only to see Fan Yu carrying her to the door of the dean's lounge.

Her heart was half settled.

dong dong dong.

Fan Yu's knock on the door sounded a little hurried.

"Who?"

Yan Shaozhe's voice was heard from inside the room, and after hearing that it was indeed the dean's voice, Zhou Yi finally put her mind at ease.

"Dean, it's me, Fan Yu! There's an assassin in the academy!!"

"assassin?"

Yan Shaozhe didn't open the door immediately, but one could tell he didn't believe it. "The academy is always covered by my spiritual power, so how could there be assassins? Besides, Lin'er and Qian Duoduo aren't just here to eat."

Fan Yu was a little anxious: "It's true, Dean, Zhou Yi was almost killed. It was not far from the cafeteria of Shrek Academy, on a road with broken street lights. The assassin tried to kill Zhou Yi there."

The room was silent for a moment, and then Fan Yu and Zhou Yi heard the sound of the window opening and a blinding light flashed through the crack in the door.

"I'll go check it out right away. Teacher Fanyu, you and Teacher Zhou can go and have a rest first. Don't worry, no one dares to go into Shrek and act wild under my nose!!"

With the Dean's assurance, Zhou Yi and Fan Yu felt more secure. Looking at Fan Yu who was holding her, Zhou Yi reluctantly tore off the human skin mask on her face, revealing a beautiful face. She looked only about 28 or 29 years old, with eyebrows like spring mountains and a soft and beautiful appearance.

"Hubby, thank you for protecting me just now..."

Fan Yu didn't say much, but gently touched his wife's head: "What husband doesn't protect his wife? Let's go back. Dean Yan is here. I think the assassin can't protect himself now. Let's go back to sleep~"

When he said the last sentence, Fan Yu's eyes showed a hint of heat.

Zhou Yi just glared at him in reproach, then lay down on her husband's broad chest with a slightly red face.

Fan Yu lowered his head slightly, kissed his wife's forehead, took a step forward, and then walked in a certain direction.

Under his feet, faint blue ripples appeared, and the floor began to spin invisibly...

　The Ruler of Corrosion... has arrived.
