Starting with the Hairstyle (Newcomer Begging for Votes!!! TvT)

Ah Yin looked at Ye Wen in confusion.

At this point, Ah Yin still followed the rules among soul beasts. Ye Wen was clearly the boss of this dormitory, and she had no intention of fighting for authority, so she obediently followed him out of the dorm.

As they walked, Ye Wen casually probed for information, asking things like how Ah Yin had come here to attend school.

Still unaware of the dangers of human nature, Ah Yin straightforwardly told him about awakening her martial soul at the orphanage and receiving a Work-Study Student placement, resolving one of Ye Wen's doubts.

So soul beasts who took human form could enroll in school like this. Sure enough, there were sometimes more good people than bad among humans. In his Previous Life, a cute little girl like Ah Yin would have long since been kidnapped and sold.

But there seemed to be plenty of human traffickers in the Heaven Dou Empire too, or there would not be slave auctions.

All he could say was that Ah Yin had been truly lucky.

As for whether some unknown God of Slaughter had been manipulating things behind the scenes, he had no idea. But since she had appeared before him, that tragic future had to change.

Nuoding Academy was not particularly large. Once the two found a relatively quiet spot, Ye Wen began to speak.

"Ah Yin, listen to me. School hasn't started yet, so you haven't seen how disgusting those noble students can be.

"Some of those noble students especially like targeting pretty little girls like you. It wasn't convenient for me to say this in the dorm, but I hope you can change your hairstyle later and make yourself less conspicuous. After all, I've never seen anyone as pretty as you in my life.

"Otherwise, noble brats will keep coming to harass you. I've heard that quite a few good-looking Work-Study Students were kidnapped in the past and taken back as Concubines. You'd better stay alert."

With such a round of manipulation from Ye Wen, the innocent Ah Yin still did not know what a Concubine was, but she understood perfectly well what kidnapping meant. Her face immediately turned pale.

She clutched Ye Wen's sleeve with both hands and said pitifully,

"Boss, help me." (T﹏T) Ah Yin.

━Σ()━> So cute.

I'm doing this to change Ah Yin's tragedy. It's definitely not because I'm lusting after this Little Girl's body, Ye Wen silently warned himself.

Ahem, ahem.

Ye Wen deliberately coughed twice, putting on a solemn expression as he said seriously,

"First, change your hairstyle. Don't expose your whole face. And when you study in the future, try to stay with people from our dorm. There's strength in numbers. Even those noble brats won't dare provoke us carelessly."

Then he looked at Ah Yin's still undeveloped figure and added,

"Would you mind cutting your hair shorter, Ah Yin?"

Ah Yin glanced at the long hair hanging straight down to her hips and shook her head indifferently.

After all, she was not a little girl raised as a human. Hair could be considered a girl's second life. In his Previous Life, Ye Wen had seen plenty of girls break down and explode after their carefully maintained long hair was cut.

Having received permission, Ye Wen immediately began making preparations. He could handle a simple haircut himself.

With a swift motion, he chopped off Ah Yin's ponytail, leaving only medium-length hair that covered her neck.

Subconsciously stroking the smooth severed hair in his hand, Ye Wen quietly hid it away. These would all be memories of the future.

Ye Wen looked her over, but he was still dissatisfied. He found a slightly heated iron rod and helped Ah Yin curl her hair.

Watching Ye Wen's series of operations, Ah Yin was full of curiosity. She had never imagined that hair could involve so many twists and turns in human society. After a few more trims from Ye Wen, the originally graceful Ah Yin became a tomboy with hair covering her eyes.

The clothes of Work-Study Students were generally worn and shabby, making it impossible to tell male from female. Nuoding Academy's so-called uniform was merely a small cape worn over the clothes, making her even more androgynous.

Looking at Ah Yin, who had completely changed her appearance, Ye Wen nodded in satisfaction. He was not a professional, but the result was quite good.

Because of this incident, Ah Yin became even closer to Ye Wen. After all, it was difficult not to grow attached to a boss who considered her so wholeheartedly.

As the days passed, under Ye Wen's effective organization, Dormitory Three, despite being made up of freshmen, became a considerable force within Nuoding Academy. When ordinary noble students saw their group walking by in neat formation, they generally did not dare make trouble.

During these days of constantly learning new knowledge, Ye Wen also began secretly teaching Ah Yin some common knowledge of the continent that ordinary Work-Study Students did not know.

Sometimes, the monopoly of knowledge worked exactly like that.

Knowledge that seemed utterly commonplace to some people might take others most of their lives to understand.

In the original story, Xiao Wu's unruly personality being unpopular was one thing.

Later, she followed Tang San around recklessly. If she had known even a little about the distribution of top powers on Douluo Continent, she, a soul beast, would not have ended up becoming a Sacrifice for Tang San.

Later, Xiao Wu even earned the nickname Tool Rabbit. She existed purely to give Tang San cheats. Not only did she sacrifice herself, but her two younger brothers also followed her in becoming sacrifices, turning into part of Tang San's cultivation. Although she became a god later, this female lead truly was not likable.

Hadn't she taken human form to cultivate better and seek revenge? Yet after entering the academy, she did nothing but cause trouble, while slacking off in cultivation. Even Tang San, a soul master without Innate Full Soul Power, could keep pace with her cultivation.

As for Ye Wen's selfless instruction, Ah Yin was still an innocent, naive girl who had not realized the meaning behind it. She happily accepted Ye Wen's teachings.

"Ah Yin, do you understand the power structure of Douluo Continent?"

"Uh?" Ah Yin was stumped by the question.

Even when she had been a soul beast, she had been the laid-back type. She had become the Blue Silver Emperor for no clear reason, and in the end, she had only taken human form to survive the Heavenly Tribulation. Although Blue Silver Grass had a spiritual network connecting them, she truly had never carefully learned about human society.

"Let's put aside the ordinary people of human society on Douluo Continent. At the pinnacle of soul master powers are one hall, two empires, and three sects. The one hall refers to Spirit Hall. The two empires refer to the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. The three sects are the renowned Three Upper Sects: the Clear Sky Sect, known for possessing the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which possesses the number one Beast Martial Soul in the world; and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the number one support sect in the world.

"Not to mention anything else, each of these top powers has at least one Titled Douluo overseeing it. That is why they stand at the summit of the hundreds of thousands of soul masters on Douluo Continent.

"Beyond them, there are countless lesser forces. The most typical are the so-called Four Lower Sects, the four affiliated clans of the Clear Sky Sect, and even the advanced Soul Master Academies within the two empires. Among these second-tier forces, there is certainly at least one Soul Douluo.

"So we commoner soul masters must be cautious in both words and actions. Don't wander around recklessly, or it will be easy to get into trouble." After saying this, Ye Wen gave Ah Yin a meaningful look.

Seeing Ah Yin's astonished expression after being shocked by the cruelty of human society, Ye Wen laughed inwardly in a rather unscrupulous manner. If he wanted to win over a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast emperor like her, he really had to scare her a little.
