Men and Women Should Keep Their Distance

Sure enough, Xiao Wu was still Xiao Wu—her mind was full of finding someone to fight.

"It's almost dark. I still need to make my bed and buy some necessities. I don't have time to play with you." Ye Xinyu shook her head slightly, a trace of helplessness on her delicate face.

"Besides, I came here to study. I'm not very interested in fighting. If you want to fight, you can find some upperclassmen. If that's not enough for you, you can even go find the academy's teachers."

Hearing that, Xiao Wu's face stiffened in embarrassment. If she could beat the upperclassmen, wouldn't she have gone after them already...

"Pah! Are you scared?" Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, glaring at Ye Xinyu with her big eyes, her face full of defiance.

Ye Xinyu shrugged slightly and said calmly.

"If that's what you think."

"You!" Xiao Wu immediately felt as though she had punched cotton.

After saying that, Ye Xinyu walked inside on her own. After taking a brief look around, she found that the several-hundred-square-meter room contained a full fifty beds, making it look rather crowded. A faint, stale smell hung in the air, while the light coming through the windows was somewhat dim.

I should've listened to the director. With that thought, she could not help but sigh softly. She did not know whether the other dormitories would be any better, but it was already late, so she could only worry about that later.

After giving the room a rough glance, she saw that nearly twenty of the fifty beds already had bedding on them. After thinking for a moment, she picked a bed near the edge. It was beside the window. Though the lighting was not very good, at least some air could get through.

After casually clearing away the dust on it, she willed it, and a set of bedding appeared before her. It was pale pink, embroidered with exquisite patterns, and looked exceptionally comfortable.

Luckily, Mom had prepared bedding for her, so she would not have to buy any. That saved her quite a bit of trouble. Sure enough, although Mom could be a little moody, she still cared about her deep down.

"Y-you, is that a Soul Tool?"

Xiao Wu and several boys had followed behind Ye Xinyu, all staring curiously at her wrist. The one who spoke was one of the boys. His eyes were wide with curiosity and surprise.

Ye Xinyu nodded slightly. A Storage Soul Tool was not particularly precious. It was not something everyone had, but neither was it rare. There was no harm in letting others know.

"Yes. What, is there a problem?" Her gaze was calm, without the slightest trace of showing off or pride. Soul Tools were not particularly valuable to begin with. While not everyone could own one, they were easy enough to buy and could be found almost anywhere.

Meeting those pale golden eyes, Wang Sheng could not help swallowing. Only then did he realize it—golden hair and golden eyes. No matter how he looked at her, she did not seem like an ordinary person.

"N-no problem. It's just... you're not a Work-Study Student, are you? Why did you come to Dormitory Seven?"

Ye Xinyu casually arranged her bed as she replied.

"I came here to study. What difference does it make where I stay?"

At that moment, Xiao Wu could not help asking Wang Sheng.

"Wang Sheng, what was that Soul Tool you mentioned? Is it very impressive?" As she spoke, Xiao Wu blinked her large eyes, her face full of curiosity.

Hearing that, Wang Sheng gave her a strange look.

"No way, Sister Xiao Wu. You don't even know what a Soul Tool is?"

At those words, Xiao Wu immediately could not keep a straight face. She put on a fierce expression and glared hard at Wang Sheng.

"What, are you looking to get beaten up again?"

"Sister Xiao Wu, I'll explain, I'll explain." Wang Sheng shuddered in fright and hurriedly explained.

"Well, I only heard about it from others. There are several kinds of Soul Tools. This should be a storage-type Soul Tool. There's a space inside it that can hold many things, which makes it very convenient. Usually, only high-level Soul Masters can afford one."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Xiao Wu nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Ye Xinyu again, some hesitation in her eyes.

"Um, your bedding looks pretty big. How about the two of us sleep together?"

Ye Xinyu froze.

At once, Ye Xinyu became wary.

"You should have your own bed, right?"

Hearing that, Xiao Wu snorted coldly.

"I'm a girl, and you're a girl too. What's there to hesitate about? Just tell me whether you're willing or not."

Wang Sheng hurriedly explained from the side.

"Well, Sister Xiao Wu was joking. Don't take it seriously. Actually, Sister Xiao Wu didn't bring a blanket when she came, so she had no choice but to share bedding with a boy. If possible, it would be better for you two girls to sleep together."

Hearing that, Ye Xinyu realized she had misunderstood. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

"All right."

When Xiao Wu heard Ye Xinyu agree, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to help make the bed. Looking at the pink bedding, she found it incredibly soft to the touch, wonderfully comfortable—far better than what Grandmaster had sent over.

Very quickly, the two of them finished making the bed. Since the set of bedding was so large, even after they pushed two beds together, it still covered them completely.

Once they were done, Xiao Wu threw herself directly onto the large combined bed and kept flopping about.

"This blanket is so soft! I love it."

Watching Xiao Wu toss her bedding around like that, Ye Xinyu could not help feeling a little distressed. Still, she had agreed, so it was not easy to say anything.

Only then did Wang Sheng speak.

"Um, it's dinner time now. Want to come with us?"

The moment she heard the word food, Xiao Wu flipped up from the bed, her face full of excitement.

"Let's go eat!"

As she spoke, Xiao Wu turned to Ye Xinyu.

"Oh, right. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Xiao Wu. My martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit. I'm a level-twelve, one-ring Battle Soul Master. From now on, I'll look after you."

Ye Xinyu did not hide anything either. She nodded slightly and said,

"Ye Xinyu. My martial soul is the Emerald Swan. I'm a level-thirteen, one-ring Support-type Soul Master."

"Level thirteen?!" Wang Sheng and the others were all shocked upon hearing Ye Xinyu's words.

"No, how exactly do people like you cultivate? You're a transfer student, yet you've already obtained a soul ring and reached level thirteen Soul Power. Don't tell me you're another person with Innate Full Soul Power? Is there any justice left in the world?"

"Emerald Swan?" Xiao Wu blinked, her face full of curiosity. She knew a little about the Emerald Swan; after all, there was one in Star Lake.

"How do you have that martial soul?"

Ye Xinyu shrugged and replied irritably,

"What kind of question is that? Do you think we get to choose our own martial souls?"
