Swallowing the Starry Sky: Rebirth of the Thunder Dragon Emperor, Many Children and Many Blessings

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the gap in the tent and gently brushed Huo Yuhao's face.

He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power in his body, his heart filled with new hope.

For him, last night's experience was not only an improvement in his strength, but also a baptism of his soul.

Lei Dong and Huo Yun'er also woke up one after another. They smiled at each other, their eyes full of expectations for the future.

Lei Dong gently held Huo Yun'er's hand, with a firm look in his eyes: "Yun'er, no matter what the road ahead holds, I will always be by your side."

Huo Yun'er nodded, her face filled with happiness: "Lei Dong, I believe we can face any challenge together."

Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya also walked out of their respective tents. They stretched and looked at Lei Dong and Huo Yun'er with a teasing smile in their eyes.

Ma Xiaotao joked: "It seems that the stars were very beautiful last night. Our Mr. Lei Dong and Huo Yun'er were reluctant to come back."

A faint blush appeared on Huo Yun'er's face, but she did not avoid it. Instead, she accepted the teasing calmly.

Lei Dong smiled and didn't say much, but his eyes revealed his deep affection for Huo Yun'er.

"Okay, we should get ready to go."

Lei Dong turned around and began to pack up the tent and luggage. "We are going back to Shrek Academy today. There are still many things waiting for us there."

Huo Yuhao nodded and began to prepare.

He knew that Shrek Academy was where he grew up and where his dream began.

Now, he must not only fight for his own future, but also work hard for his mother's happiness and Lei Dong's expectations.

The group quickly packed their luggage and stood in the morning sun, preparing to embark on the journey back to Shrek Academy.

"Let's go back the way we came!"

Lei Dong smiled slightly. He knew that the journey back to Shrek Academy was long, so he stretched out his hand and motioned everyone to come closer.

Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er looked at each other in confusion, but still walked to Lei Dong as instructed.

Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya also came over, curious about what Lei Dong wanted to do.

"Everyone hold on tight."

Lei Dong reminded softly, and then a powerful soul power surged in his body.

Under his control, this power formed a halo that enveloped everyone.

Huo Yuhao and the others only felt a dizziness, the scene in front of them was blurred, and there was the sound of whistling wind in their ears.

In just a moment, they appeared at the gate of Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao and the others looked at the familiar environment around them in surprise, feeling the solid ground under their feet, and were shocked by Lei Dong's powerful ability.

"Is this teleportation?"

There was a hint of excitement and awe in Huo Yun'er's voice.

Lei Dong nodded with a satisfied smile on his face: "Yes, this is a skill that only Soul Sage-level soul masters can master. You will learn it in the future."

Huo Yun'er looked at Lei Dong in amazement, and her dependence and trust in Lei Dong increased a little more.

Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya also looked admiring. They knew that Lei Dong was very strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.

Just as they were still shocked by Lei Dong's ability, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the academy.

She was a tall girl with short hair and dressed in men's clothes. There was a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment in her eyes.

"Huo Yuhao, you're back!"

The girl's voice was clear and powerful. She strode towards Huo Yuhao with a hint of reproach in her eyes, "You actually hid something from me, and with a stranger!" Huo Yuhao was stunned. It was Wang Dong, one of his good friends at Shrek Academy.

He smiled awkwardly: "Wang Dong, you misunderstood, I didn't hide it from you on purpose."

Wang Dong curled his lips, obviously not buying Huo Yuhao's explanation.

Lei Dong smiled slightly. He had a good impression of this straightforward girl.

“Wang Dong, this is Huo Yuhao’s mother, Huo Yun’er. I am his stepfather Lei Dong. We just went through some things and we just came back.”

Wang Dong's eyes widened. She obviously didn't expect that Huo Yuhao's mother was so young and beautiful.

She scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Aunt Huo, hello, I am Huo Yuhao's friend, Wang Dong."

Huo Yun'er smiled gently. She felt cordial towards Wang Dong's frankness and enthusiasm.

"Hello, Wang Dong. I often hear Yuhao mention you, saying that you are one of his best friends."

Wang Dong's face turned slightly red. She looked at Huo Yuhao, then at Huo Yun'er, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Huo Yuhao was not hiding anything from her on purpose, but he really had important matters to deal with.

"Okay, let's go to the academy first."

Lei Dong broke the awkward atmosphere. He took the lead and walked towards the gate of the academy. "There are many things I need to explain to everyone."

Huo Yuhao and the others nodded, and they followed Lei Dong into Shrek Academy.

Wang Dong walked beside Huo Yuhao and whispered, “Huo Yuhao, you must tell me if there is anything in the future. We are friends, aren’t we?”

Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly. He knew how precious Wang Dong’s friendship was to him.

When Huo Yuhao heard Wang Dong’s words, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He knew that Wang Dong had always been his most trusted friend, and their friendship had gone through many tests but had always been strong.

He nodded and said seriously: "Wang Dong, you are right, we are friends, no matter what happens in the future, I will tell you."

A satisfied smile appeared on Wang Dong's face. She gently patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder to show that she accepted his promise.

However, Lei Dong was watching quietly from the side, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Wang Dong,"

Lei Dong suddenly spoke, with a hint of smile in his voice.

“Perhaps Huo Yuhao didn’t see it, but I recognized your true identity at first sight.”

Wang Dong's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. She stared at Lei Dong with wide eyes, surprised that he had seen through her secret so quickly.

Lei Dong continued with a smile.

"Your female body may be able to deceive the fool Huo Yuhao, but your behavior and temperament cannot escape my eyes. There is a unique tenderness in your eyes, which cannot be concealed by men's clothes."

Wang Dong'er's heart beat faster. She didn't expect that the secret she had carefully kept could be so easily discovered by Lei Dong.

She bit her lip, and then pretended to be calm in response to Lei Dong's voice transmission: "Mr. Lei Dong, you have sharp eyes. But I hope you can help me keep this secret."

Lei Dong smiled gently, his eyes revealing a hint of understanding and respect.

"Of course, Wang Dong'er. Everyone has their own secrets, and I respect your choice. However, I hope you know that true strength comes from the heart, not the appearance."

Wang Dong'er nodded. She felt a little warm towards Lei Dong's understanding and respect. (End of this chapter)
