"You..."
Tang San clenched his fists tightly, but in the end, he still nodded.
"I understand."
He was merely cold and calculating, not truly stupid.
In a direct fight, he was clearly no match for Du Cheng.
Under such circumstances, giving in a little was obviously the wisest choice.
As for stabbing Du Cheng to death with Hidden Weapons?
The thought had barely crossed Tang San's mind before he dismissed it.
He had come here to become a Soul Master. If he killed someone recklessly, Notting Academy would likely expel him immediately.
"I want to sleep with Cheng Gege."
No one else seemed particularly concerned about Tang San's thoughts.
Grabbing Du Cheng's arm with one hand, Xiao Wu spoke directly.
"Move that bed over there!"
Following Xiao Wu's pointing finger, Tang San's expression darkened further.
As a Work-Study Student dormitory, Seventh Dormitory had a very simple layout.
Other than a few tables and chairs, the large room contained only two broad communal sleeping platforms separated from each other.
However, since there were not many people in the dormitory to begin with, it did not feel crowded.
Earlier, Tang San had deliberately chosen the platform where no one else slept so he could be more comfortable at night.
And now, not only had his chosen spot been taken, he was even being driven onto the other sleeping platform.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Seeing Tang San hesitate, Xiao Wu frowned slightly.
Under normal circumstances, she naturally would not have been so aggressive.
But since this ugly little brat had dared to sneak attack Cheng Gege, of course she had to draw a clear line between herself and him.
"No."
Feeling Xiao Wu's disgusted gaze, Tang San gritted his teeth and moved his bedding away.
You two bitches, just wait until I get the chance...
And those idiots too!
Tang San shot Wang Sheng and the others a glance, his heart filled with malice.
In his view, if these fools had not provoked Du Cheng, he would never have ended up in this situation.
Perhaps he could even have built a decent relationship with Xiao Wu!
"Old Tang... Third Brother."
Perhaps his gaze had been too sharp, because Wang Sheng suddenly shivered as though he had sensed something.
Walking over to Tang San, Wang Sheng finally spoke.
"Third Brother, you must be tired too. How about I tidy things up for you?"
As a smart person, Wang Sheng could easily find his place.
Whether it was Du Cheng and Xiao Wu or Tang San, neither was someone he could afford to offend.
Since that was the case, he might as well obediently be a lackey.
At least then, he would not get caught in the crossfire when the big shots fought.
"Hmph!"
Tang San glanced toward Du Cheng. Only after seeing that Du Cheng had nothing more to say did he snort and return to his bed.
Tang San was not particularly grateful for Wang Sheng helping him with his chores.
This trouble had been caused by that guy in the first place. Wasn't it only right for him to do the work?
Besides, he had volunteered. Tang had never asked him to do anything...
While Wang Sheng busied himself with the chores, Du Cheng had already contacted the system in his mind.
"Systemie, start the lottery!"
Congratulations to the Host for conducting an Intermediate Lottery. You have obtained the reward: 'Ten Thousand Poisons True Understanding.'
As a massive amount of information flooded into his mind, Du Cheng could not stop the corners of his mouth from rising.
Ten Thousand Poisons True Understanding—its entire contents revolved around one word: poison!
Poisoning, detoxification, poison refinement...
It was no exaggeration to say that from this moment onward, Du Cheng was the person on the entire Douluo Continent who understood poison best.
"This is pretty good. At least it solves my urgent problem."
Du Cheng had actually been somewhat wary of Tang San.
Not only was this guy the "protagonist" of this world, but he also possessed poison techniques that were difficult to guard against.
After failing in a direct confrontation, God knew whether he would poison Du Cheng.
Given Tang San's character, he was entirely capable of doing such a thing.
But from now on, Du Cheng no longer had to worry about that.
As long as Tang San dared to poison him, Du Cheng would dare to amplify the poison's effects and send it right back.
That was just how unreasonable someone with cheats could be.
He had obtained such a good reward with only thirty Bond Value. Who knew how powerful the rewards afterward would be?
Du Cheng's gaze landed on Xiao Wu, and he could not help feeling a surge of anticipation.
Judging by the current situation, Xiao Wu, who had only recently entered human society, was still quite easy to get along with.
"Cheng Gege, why do you keep staring at me?"
Sensing Du Cheng's gaze, Xiao Wu looked somewhat confused.
"Is there something wrong with me?"
As she spoke, Xiao Wu even reached out and felt herself over.
Strange, everything seems normal.
"Nothing is wrong with you."
Seeing the adorable air Xiao Wu gave off, Du Cheng could not help but laugh inwardly.
He reached out and rubbed Xiao Wu's head before continuing.
"I just think you're very pretty."
"I..."
The moment Du Cheng's words left his mouth, Xiao Wu's face instantly turned bright red.
Cheng Gege said I'm pretty. Does he like me?
As a soul beast, Xiao Wu's world was clearly extremely simple.
"Cheng Gege is very handsome too."
Grasping Du Cheng's hand, Xiao Wu lowered her voice.
If Cheng Gege likes me, then I like him too!
Bond Value with Xiao Wu +5. At 50, an Advanced Lottery can be conducted.
Hiss~
Hearing the prompt sound in his mind, Du Cheng could not help drawing in a sharp breath.
It went up by five just from one compliment? Is Bond Value really this easy to farm?
"Xiao Wu isn't just pretty. She's also very cute."
"Cheng Gege is also... really, really amazing!"
Xiao Wu's face reddened even more, but unfortunately, this time there was no increase in Bond Value.
Fortunately, Du Cheng had not placed too much hope on it.
Xiao Wu was right here, after all. Sooner or later, he would be able to build up Bond Value. Rather than constantly chasing the result, the process itself was actually quite enjoyable.
Creaaak, creaaak~
Listening to Du Cheng and Xiao Wu's flirtatious exchange, Tang San nearly ground his teeth into powder.
You adulterous pair, I will definitely... definitely make you pay!
By the time Xiao Wu and Du Cheng had arrived at Notting Academy, it had already been afternoon. After everything that had happened, the sky had long since darkened.
After laughing and fooling around for a while, everyone soon fell asleep.
In his hazy sleep, Du Cheng felt something soft and fragrant burrow into his arms...
So swollen, so painful, so uncomfortable!
Early the next morning, the moment Du Cheng woke up, he felt his body crying out in agony.
Opening his eyes groggily, Du Cheng could not help feeling helpless.
"So why did I even buy two sets of bedding?"
At this moment, Xiao Wu's blanket had long since been tossed aside, while she lay openly beneath Du Cheng's blanket.
Not only that, she had shamelessly rested her head on Du Cheng's arm.
Under Du Cheng's gaze, Xiao Wu was clearly having some kind of sweet dream.
Her face was flushed red, and a suspicious crystal-clear stream of liquid ran from the corner of her mouth.
"Cheng Gege, enough... Xiao Wu can't eat any more..."
