One Bed for Two? (Please Bookmark, Please Recommend!)

"What?"

"Another Innate Full Soul Power?"

Everyone looked stunned, finding it hard to believe.

Their gazes all fell on Tang San, who was on the bed in the corner.

Only after Huo Feng mentioned it did they remember that this work-study student named Tang San seemed fairly capable as well.

He had merely lost narrowly to Wang Sheng, and Huo Feng and Xiao Wu had been even more dazzling afterward.

That was why they had forgotten about him.

Tang San turned around, forcing a slightly stiff smile onto his face.

"Huo Feng, thank you for helping me just now."

His voice was quiet, and he appeared very polite.

Some of the students around him developed a better impression of him. Only Xiao Wu merely glanced at him before turning her attention back to Huo Feng.

Huo Feng waved it off indifferently and said seriously, "Get some rest."

Tang San froze, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.

That was right. Huo Feng had grown up with him in the same village, and he had even stepped in to help just now.

Yet just because Huo Feng had not taken Master as his teacher, Tang San had made casual assumptions and harbored some negative thoughts about him.

He really was being narrow-minded.

"Alright."

Tang San nodded and said nothing more.

Wang Sheng, standing nearby, suddenly felt much better.

The boss had Innate Full Soul Power, and his Martial Soul was the Iron Sword, an attack-type martial soul.

Then it was perfectly normal for Wang Sheng to have lost to him.

As for Tang San, who also possessed Innate Full Soul Power, he had still lost to Wang Sheng.

That alone was enough to make Wang Sheng proud.

And his Martial Soul was the Battle Tiger, a Beast Martial Soul with formidable offensive power. Once he obtained a soul ring and became a Soul Master, Tang San would be even less likely to be his opponent.

After all, Tang San's Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass. Even Innate Full Soul Power could hardly make up for its shortcomings.

Just then, a teacher named Mo Hen came into the dormitory.

He brought Huo Feng and Tang San two sets of bedding and pillows.

He said Master had asked him to deliver them.

It was not strange for Tang San to receive one, since he could be considered Master's disciple.

What surprised Huo Feng was that Yu Xiaogang had brought a set for him too.

It seemed that guy still had not given up on him. Becoming his disciple was impossible.

But Huo Feng would definitely keep the bedding. Why would he return something that had already fallen into his hands? It would be a waste not to take it.

As work-study students, they had to handle some of the academy's chores.

So Mo Hen assigned Huo Feng and Xiao Wu to clean the south side of the training ground.

They would earn ten Copper Soul Coins per day.

Tang San, meanwhile, was assigned to clean the north side of the training ground with an older student.

After explaining some matters regarding classes, cultivation, and other things to keep in mind, Mo Hen left.

Tang San carried his bedding back to his bed. He was truly exhausted today and fell asleep not long after.

Huo Feng held his bedding and realized that he had not even chosen a bed yet.

"Bedding? I don't seem to have any either..."

At that moment, Xiao Wu, standing beside Huo Feng, stared blankly at the bedding in his arms and said this.

Hearing that, the work-study students around them looked at one another.

None of them had extra bedding either.

More importantly, Xiao Wu was a girl. They each turned to look at their own somewhat grimy blankets.

No girl would probably like that sort of bedding.

Xiao Wu's eyes shifted as though she had thought of something, and her gaze fell on the bedding in Huo Feng's hands.

"Huo Feng, can we discuss something?"

Though Xiao Wu was usually bold and straightforward, her face was slightly red as she spoke. She lowered her head a little, seeming somewhat embarrassed.

"What is it?"

Huo Feng asked with an innocent, serious expression.

In truth, he was nowhere near as calm as he appeared.

So this plot point had finally been triggered.

"Your bedding is so big. If we push our beds together and share it, wouldn't that be just right?"

Xiao Wu's words were shocking, leaving everyone around them dumbfounded.

Good heavens.

Was that something a girl could say? Huo Feng also put on a shocked expression.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Men and women should keep their distance. Isn't this a little inappropriate?"

Xiao Wu had still been slightly hesitant, but now she made up her mind completely. "What's inappropriate about it? I'm a girl, and I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of?"

"Are you afraid I'll take advantage of you?"

"Cough, cough."

Huo Feng first gave two awkward coughs before lifting his chin and puffing out his chest. "Who's afraid of who? If you're not afraid, then I'm even less afraid!"

"What are you standing around for? The boss has spoken! Hurry up and move the beds together!"

Before Huo Feng and Xiao Wu could react,

Wang Sheng gave the order, and the work-study students sprang into action. They quickly pushed the two beds together.

He even took the bedding from Huo Feng's arms and neatly spread it over the bedboards.

Once the bed was ready, Xiao Wu went over and lay down on it to test it out. Then she said with a beaming smile, "Not bad. It's pretty soft. From now on, this is our bed."

Afterward, she tidied up some of her belongings and put them away.

"Hiss..."

Huo Feng was puzzled. According to the original plot,

Xiao Wu should have placed something between herself and Tang San in the middle of the bed as a divider.

But with him, she did not seem to have any such intention.

Could it be the effect of those ninety-nine points of feedback Charm Value?

Ding!

Answering the host: Yes.

The ninety-nine points of exclusive Charm Value only affect Xiao Wu's one-sided feelings toward the host. The host himself is unaffected.

The system explained in time, and Huo Feng immediately understood.

So his guess had been right.

At that moment, Tang San in the corner could not help but look over.

He could be considered someone who had lived two lives.

Yet Xiao Wu's actions still surprised him.

Looking at that large bed made from two joined beds, with two identical sets of bedding,

he somehow felt that the one beneath him was a little too hard.

"Boss, Xiao Wu, you just arrived today, and it's almost time to eat. My treat—let's go together!"

"It's just that us work-study students can't afford anything too good, so I hope you won't mind."

Wang Sheng scratched his head foolishly and extended the invitation.

Huo Feng and Xiao Wu exchanged a look, both feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, these work-study students were all children from poor families and did not have much money.

Seeming to notice their concerns, Wang Sheng casually continued, "This meal is on me. You can treat me after you have money in the future."

Only then did Huo Feng and Xiao Wu agree.

"Then let's go!"

Wang Sheng was about to lead them to the cafeteria when he suddenly stopped after turning around.

There was still someone lying in the corner—Tang San.

Although Tang San did not seem to like talking much, excluding him on the first day would be rather inappropriate.

Smack!

Wang Sheng slapped his thigh. "Right, um... Tang... Tang San, you should come too. I'm treating everyone today!"

Tang San, who had just fallen asleep, was startled awake. Suppressing his anger toward Wang Sheng, he waved his hand.

"You guys go ahead. I'm not going."

"Uh..."

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Huo Feng quickly spoke up. "Tang San might not be feeling well today. Let's go."

Although he said that, he knew the truth very well.

Tang San did not have a single coin on him.

He had a mouth to eat with, but no money to pay.

But Huo Feng was different. He had discovered earlier that Sacrifice Points could be exchanged for currency on Douluo Continent.

Just one Sacrifice Point could be exchanged for one hundred Copper Soul Coins.
