Tang San, Rebuffed

Hearing Xiao Wu's cat-scratch-like cry,

Ye Qiu immediately shuddered, goosebumps rising all over his body.

Tang San beside him could not help frowning as well.

Looking at Xiao Wu's tear-streaked face,

he somehow felt as though he had lost something. It was rather strange.

He could not help calling out:

"Ye Qiu, don't go too far! What kind of ability is it to bully a little girl?!"

A little girl? Ye Qiu's mouth twitched, and his concentration slipped.

The black skin covering his body immediately surged toward his chest, turning into tiny tadpoles and sinking back into Ye Qiu's body.

His face was pale, and sweat had appeared on his forehead.

He was reaching his limit too. He pulled some candy from his pocket and crunched down on it.

The drain caused by the Venom Spirit

had greatly increased his appetite. After recovering slightly, Ye Qiu raised a brow and said with a grin, "Little San, why are you so concerned about her?!"

Tang San's breathing hitched. Seeing Ye Qiu's teasing look and Xiao Wu's tearful face, his heart skipped slightly.

"I-I just can't stand seeing you bully people like this. We'll all be classmates from now on, so why make things like this?"

"Is that so?"

Ye Qiu smiled indifferently.

He did not care to dig into what Tang San was really thinking.

"Why aren't you letting Xiao Wu go already?"

Tang San snorted coldly and frowned.

Just as he was about to pull the thing Ye Qiu had shot onto the wall off it,

Ye Qiu moved before him. He raised a hand and pressed it against the black webs, which immediately flowed into Ye Qiu's body like liquid.

Xiao Wu, who had been stuck tightly to the wall, fell into Ye Qiu's arms in tears. Even though Ye Qiu was not holding her, she clung tightly to him and continued sobbing.

Gritting her teeth, she tugged at Ye Qiu's clothes and cried all over him.

"X-Xiao Wu won't let you get away with this!"

"..."

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.

He had no intention of hitting her again. Holding her slender waist, he slowly walked toward an empty bed.

Xiao Wu had already cried herself weak. The pain in her back and waist left her completely unwilling to move, so she let Ye Qiu hold her like a puppet on strings.

"Alright, sit here and rest for a while first."

Ye Qiu slipped both hands beneath Xiao Wu's arms, carefully handling her small body as he slowly lowered her onto the edge of the bed.

"Mmgh."

The moment he set Xiao Wu down, she let out a muffled whimper. Pain flashed across her face as she raised her head and glared at Ye Qiu in humiliation and anger.

Fortunately, Ye Qiu had only kicked one side of her buttocks earlier. Otherwise, she truly would not have been able to sit or stand comfortably.

"Haha. You still want to beat me up, don't you? But you definitely can't beat me now!"

Ye Qiu looked at her fair, rosy little face, now covered in dirty tear tracks. Her left eye was still ringed with a black eye. Though she looked ridiculous, she was still adorably pink.

He could not help reaching out and kneading her little face.

"Wah... let go of me!"

Xiao Wu pouted, wanting to resist, but tears were already threatening to spill from her eyes again.

Her hands were braced against the edge of the bed to support her body. The slightest relaxation made her swollen backside ache.

"Ye Qiu."

Tang San wanted to stop him.

But Ye Qiu had already released Xiao Wu. Walking over to Tang San, he smilingly patted his shoulder.

"Alright! Little San, shouldn't you change how you address me now? From now on, I'm the boss of this Seventh Dorm! Shouldn't you call me Boss too?"

"You think that's possible?"

Tang San's brows knitted together, his face full of defiance and unwillingness.

"Tch! Whatever. I already call you Little San anyway. Even if I become the boss, that won't change."

Ye Qiu curled his lip, suddenly finding it boring.

"Greetings, Boss!"

Wang Sheng and the others suddenly shouted.

Their loud voices filled the entire Seventh Dorm, startling even Ye Qiu.

They were no longer complete novices.

The spiderweb Ye Qiu had used, even if it was not a spirit skill, was enough to make them fear him.

"Alright, alright, stop shouting. It sounds weird."

Ye Qiu waved his hand, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"Yes!"

Wang Sheng and the others answered in unison again.

Only then did Ye Qiu feel a little of the pleasure of ordering others around.

No wonder Xiao Wu liked being the big sister so much. It really was rather nice.

Seeing Ye Qiu's smug expression, Tang San could not help shaking his head slightly. He had no desire to argue over such things.

Once Ye Qiu saw his strength and personal charisma in the future, he naturally would not remain so frivolous.

Unfortunately, he did not know that Ye Qiu had long understood his personal charisma. He had even experienced it firsthand over the past two days. All Ye Qiu could say was that it was truly nothing to praise.

Ye Qiu waved Wang Sheng and the others away.

Feeling somewhat weak, he slowly walked to the empty bed nearby, pulled out a pink lollipop from his bundle, and put it in his mouth.

It was sweet, though it had a carrot flavor.

"Xiao Wu, are you alright?"

Tang San took the chance to walk over to Xiao Wu, concern visible in his eyes.

"What could possibly be wrong with Xiao Wu? Hmph."

A Soft Bone Rabbit had soft bones all over, but her mouth was still hard! Xiao Wu coldly glared at Tang San and ignored him. Then she covered her bruised left eye, gritted her teeth, and stared fiercely at Ye Qiu!

Half her backside and her eye were still burning with pain.

Having been rebuffed again, Tang San gave a dry laugh and turned to walk toward Wang Sheng and the others.

He had come here to study, not to press his warm face against a cold butt. Since she would not speak to him, his pride would not let him say more.

"Wang Sheng."

"Ah, Brother San. What is it?"

Wang Sheng responded and waited for his instructions.

They had already discussed it. The three newcomers this year were all pillars among the work-study students. They were all brothers and sisters!

This was not merely because of the Seventh Dorm's rules. It was also because Ye Qiu possessed Innate Full Soul Power, and so did Xiao Wu and Tang San. No matter which of the three became the boss, Wang Sheng and the others had no objections. They already regarded the three as equals.

Tang San frowned.

The title "Brother San" made him somewhat uncomfortable. If they called Ye Qiu Boss outside and called him Brother San, would that not mean he was truly beneath Ye Qiu?

But he understood why Wang Sheng and the others addressed him that way. After all, that really was his name. It was the same as his name in his previous life, and he was quite satisfied with it.

It was not appropriate to say much more. He smiled gently, hiding the trace of displeasure on his face, and politely asked, "Could you tell me about our academy?"

"Of course! I happen to be free right now."

Wang Sheng had arrived at the academy yesterday and had already unpacked his things. Patting his chest, he agreed readily.

After that,

he began explaining Notting Academy's situation in detail. "We work-study students have to earn our own living expenses. The academy arranges some cleaning work for us. The academy has six grades in total. Classes are held every morning, while afternoons are for independent cultivation..."

Wang Sheng also briefly introduced the other students in the dorm to Tang San.

Among them, Wang Sheng had the best talent. He was already a Level Nine Spirit Scholar.

While Ye Qiu sat nearby with a lollipop in his mouth, listening to Wang Sheng's introduction, he suddenly noticed an ill-intentioned gaze fixed on him.

He immediately turned his head and found that it was Xiao Wu.

Ye Qiu smiled.

He did not continue listening to Wang Sheng and quietly walked over to sit beside Xiao Wu.

"What do you want? Xiao Wu will never call you Boss."

Xiao Wu watched Ye Qiu warily. She could not even shift her buttocks.

Wishing everyone a happy life!
