First, My Name Isn't Hey

Huo Yuhao paid no mind to Wang Dong's seemingly indignant words.

One had to love oneself before loving others, no matter who the other person was.

He deeply understood this truth.

Call him crazy or say he was possessed—he accepted it all.

"You, go find me a broom."

Wang Dong immediately frowned. "Are you ordering me around?"

"How could you be unconvinced? Then beat me."

"You!" Wang Dong was furious, but she could not exactly drag Huo Yuhao into another fight. She could only obediently go buy a broom.

"And a washbasin and a few rags. Go buy those too." As soon as Wang Dong handed the broom to Huo Yuhao, he immediately assigned her another task.

"Why didn't you say that earlier?" Wang Dong's delicate brows shot up.

She had never encountered anyone like Huo Yuhao, someone who dared to directly order her about.

Of all the people she had met before, who would have dared to make her do such things?

Not even her First Daddy and Second Daddy had treated her this way.

Huo Yuhao had only one response to Wang Dong's little burst of anger. "If you're unconvinced, beat me."

Brief and to the point.

Wang Dong gritted her silver teeth in anger, but without summoning her Martial Soul, she could not be certain of defeating Huo Yuhao. She could only stomp her foot and turn to buy the washbasin and rags.

Huo Yuhao watched Wang Dong's departing back, his eyes flickering.

Naturally, he was not tormenting Wang Dong for no reason.

In fact, after their earlier contact, Huo Yuhao had already understood the truth behind why he had been able to achieve perfect Martial Soul Fusion with Wang Dong in his previous life.

When Tang San sent Tang Wutong down to the lower realm, he split her soul into two.

Wang Dong'er—Wang Dong as she was now—was one of those halves.

Yet in truth, the other half had been hidden within Tang San's Divine Sense in Wang Dong's Spiritual Sea.

Just now, while he and Wang Dong had been fighting, a mysterious power had constantly tried to approach him from her body, only to be blocked by the Eye of Eternity.

Huo Yuhao had thought that his fall in his previous life had begun when he came into contact with Tang San's Divine Sense. He had not expected that he had already been imperceptibly exposed to it from his very first meeting with Wang Dong.

No wonder he had been able to explore and develop a perfect Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Dong during the New Student Assessment.

Then, after he returned from the Soul Master Tournament in Star Luo City in his previous life, when he first encountered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the other half of the soul that had transferred from Wang Dong to him had transferred to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion because of his contact with her.

Fortune attracted fortune.

Wang Dong'er, himself, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had all been wantonly manipulated by Tang San because of this.

Otherwise, how could Tang San possibly manipulate the Star Dou Great Forest across realms?

Everything had been under Tang San's plan. The beginning of it all had been his first contact with Wang Dong.

Of course, the Tang Sect had also been a factor. That was why, when he had not yet recovered his memories, he had subconsciously avoided his first meeting with Tang Ya and Beibei.

Now, everything was clear.

Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked toward the heavens.

Tang San, prepare to accept the grand gift I have for you, Huo Yuhao silently thought.

Before long, Wang Dong returned carrying the washbasin and rags. By then, Huo Yuhao had already begun cleaning the dormitory.

When he saw Wang Dong return, Huo Yuhao immediately beckoned. "Come work."

Wang Dong set down the washbasin and pointed at herself.

"Me... this... You want me to clean?"

"Who else? You should be thankful my mood has not worsened yet. Otherwise, everything I did just now would have been your job."

"You're going too far!" Wang Dong threw down her tools.

Making someone with a cleanliness obsession touch these filthy things was no different from an execution.

But Huo Yuhao did not indulge her. He rose to his feet and walked toward her step by step.

For some reason, Wang Dong suddenly felt afraid.

Huo Yuhao clearly was not very tall, yet in her eyes, he seemed like a giant radiating immense pressure.

"Y-you... What are you doing?"

"I've basically finished cleaning the dormitory. All that remains are some corners and washing. I'll handle the corners. You do the rest."

"Do you understand?" At this moment, Huo Yuhao looked like a big bad wolf in Wang Dong's eyes, while she, once so proud, had become a little lamb.

Wang Dong did not know why she felt this way. What troubled her even more was that, when facing Huo Yuhao, she actually felt powerless!

She was the young lady of the Clear Sky Sect!

And Huo Yuhao was merely an ordinary Soul Master with only a Ten-Year Soul Ring!

How could she be suppressed by him?

So Wang Dong erupted!

"Hmph! Just because you tell me to do it, I have to do it? This young... this young master merely wants to clean his own bed!"

As she spoke, Wang Dong picked up the washbasin and rags and got to work in earnest.

It took the two of them a full half hour to clean the entire dormitory, including every neglected corner, until it was spotless.

The dormitory was not very large, but since it was a double room, the remaining space was fairly spacious.

Huo Yuhao took out a set of bedding from his Storage Ring Soul Tool and casually chose a bed.

Long Xiaoyao had bought the bedding when he rented a carriage within Star Luo territory.

Long Xiaoyao's attentiveness even made Huo Yuhao feel as though he were being cared for like a grandson.

Wang Dong sat on her own bed, staring blankly at Huo Yuhao.

An indescribable feeling quietly arose in her heart.

By the time they finished tidying the dormitory, it was already past noon. Huo Yuhao had first gone through a fight and then cleaned the dormitory, and his stomach had long been growling.

"Hey, are you going to eat?"

When she heard Huo Yuhao call out to her, Wang Dong first looked surprised before her expression swiftly turned angry.

"First, my name isn't Hey. I already told you before—my name is Wang Dong! Second, I'll let bygones be bygones for how you bullied me earlier. But those conditions I mentioned..."

At this point, Wang Dong hesitated before continuing, "Aside from helping you clean like I did today, you have to follow all the others!"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow without saying anything, then turned and walked straight out of the dormitory.

Before he had gone more than a few steps, he heard Wang Dong quickly catch up behind him.

After buying a meal bowl, a stool, and a folding table from the student supply store, Huo Yuhao headed toward the cafeteria.

Though Wang Dong was curious why Huo Yuhao had bought a stool and folding table, her inner pride kept her from asking.

Still, after hesitating for a while, Wang Dong bought an extra stool along with her meal bowl.

The cafeteria was divided into sections, with each grade having its own exclusive cafeteria.

Only after Wang Dong entered did she discover in astonishment that the enormous cafeteria did not have a single table or chair. (The lack of tables and chairs in the cafeteria was part of the original Douluo Dalu 2 setting.)

Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the Douluo Continent and also the wealthiest power on the continent, did not even provide tables and chairs? (Its status as the wealthiest was part of the original Douluo Dalu 2 setting.)
