Douluo: Reincarnated as Fei, Illusory Unicorn Nebula — Section 6

"Talk about repaying me."

"As long as you keep your mouth shut, and don't tell people outside that you came from Sheng Hun Village whenever you get into trouble, that'll be enough."

Fei returned the way he had come, though Old Jack had urged him to leave and practically chased him away.

"Nuoding City isn't that small!"

After flying around in the air for a while, Fei returned to Nuoding Academy.

By then, Seven Dormitory had clearly developed a new hierarchy.

Wang Sheng, who had previously been the dormitory's leader, was now fawning over a little girl while holding a quilt in his arms.

The little girl, however, looked thoroughly disgusted. At that moment, she was arguing with Tang San over who had the right to use a quilt.

Noticing Fei's arrival, everyone turned their gazes toward him.

"Boss, you're back." Wang Sheng greeted him with a smile as he approached.

Fei slightly furrowed his brows and said unhappily, "I already told you, don't call me Boss. Either call me by my name, Fei, or call me A Fei. Just don't call me Boss."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Sheng's eyes shifted as a suitable form of address immediately came to mind.

"Brother Fei, while you were gone, our Seven Dormitory got a new leader!" Wang Sheng walked ahead and led Fei over to the little girl.

"Brother Fei, this is Sister Xiao Wu, the new leader of Seven Dormitory."

Fei was truly speechless at Wang Sheng's train of thought.

The way "Brother Fei" sounded was strange. It was even stranger than "Boss."

Fei glared at Wang Sheng, then, to show courtesy, turned to Xiao Wu with a smile and said, "Hello, my name is Fei."

"Are you the one who used to be in charge here?" Xiao Wu put down the quilt in her hands and stood up to look straight at Fei. She planted her hands on her hips, her expression unfriendly.

The two were the same height, so they could look each other straight in the eye. If it had been Tang San, Xiao Wu would have had to lower her head slightly.

"Please don't call me 'the one in charge.' I, Fei, have always been a good student."

Fei raised an index finger and wagged it in front of Xiao Wu. Then he carried the quilt to his own empty bed and began making it.

"Oh, man, this is so comfortable..."

Fei lay on the brand-new quilt and immediately felt incomparably refreshed. It was a kind of satisfaction that came from the spirit.

Xiao Wu frowned slightly, feeling that her status had been slighted. But when she remembered that she still had not won the quilt from Tang San, she immediately returned to their battle over it.

"Fei has a new quilt too, so why are you only fixated on mine?" Tang San was annoyed as well.

Even if you're an incredibly cute girl, you can't be this unreasonable and willful, can you?

"My Martial Soul is a little white rabbit, so of course I need a white quilt. His quilt is black, which doesn't suit my temperament."

"I'm the leader of Seven Dormitory. You have to listen to me."

"The leader of Seven Dormitory is supposed to help us, not bully us. What right do you have to be our leader if you act like this?" Tang San said unhappily.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu felt that he had a point. But she did not give up. Her little head spun rapidly as she thought of a solution. Soon, her eyes lit up.

"In that case, let's share one quilt!"

The corner of Tang San's mouth twitched slightly.

Yet an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

At that moment, the dormitory door suddenly sounded. Yu Xiaogang, dressed in a black robe, appeared at the entrance. He was holding a neatly folded quilt, though its color made it look somewhat older.

"Teacher?"

Tang San noticed Yu Xiaogang at the door first. He hurriedly stood up and respectfully saluted him.

"Thank you for bringing me a quilt, Teacher."

"We're teacher and student. Don't worry about such things." A stiff smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's slightly unkempt face. It looked as if his face had merely twitched. His wise eyes were filled with satisfaction toward Tang San.

But he had not forgotten the real reason he had come.

After rubbing Tang San's head, Yu Xiaogang asked with a smile, "Xiao San, this is the quilt I brought for Fei. Is he here?"

"Fei, my teacher brought you a quilt!" Tang San shouted toward Fei.

"Hm?" Fei rubbed his bleary eyes and slowly got up. "Huh? What did you say?"

Tang San's face darkened as he repeated himself. "I said that my teacher came to bring you a quilt."

Fei narrowed his sleepy eyes and walked out from the crowd. He also saw Yu Xiaogang at the door.

To show kindness toward the elderly and be a civilized, polite, good person, Fei forced a smile onto his somewhat drowsy face.

"Master Yu, I already have a quilt. Thank you for your kindness."

"Coincidentally, Xiao San's quilt has been taken by Xiao Wu, so he happens to be short one."

"Why don't you give this quilt to Xiao San instead?"

Tang San's mouth twitched uncontrollably when he heard the name "Xiao San."

When Yu Xiaogang heard Fei's words, he could not help frowning. "Xiao San, someone took your quilt?"

"No, no, it's not like that..." Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu and scratched his head, a silly smile appearing on his face.

"Xiao Wu didn't have a quilt, so I gave mine to her."

"Tsk~~~" Wang Sheng and the others secretly looked down on Tang San. They had clearly seen how unwilling he had looked just moments ago.

"Xiao San, why don't you just let me use your quilt? You still have another one anyway." Xiao Wu walked over with a radiant smile.

"Ah, this..." Tang San did not know how to respond to Xiao Wu for a moment. He suddenly felt that he should never have said what he had just said.

"Men and women shouldn't share intimate things. I think Xiao Wu makes a lot of sense!" Fei suddenly felt that Tang San was truly pitiful.

"It was given to you by your teacher anyway. Even though it's old, the sentiment behind the gift matters!" Fei patted Tang San on the shoulder and stepped back.

"Wang Sheng, when does the academy's lunch start?" Fei asked softly.

"The cafeteria is open throughout the day. You just need money." Wang Sheng scratched his head and replied.

"Money..." Fei scratched his head, a troubled expression appearing on his face.

As expected, money was important in every world...

Wang Sheng saw Fei's predicament and patted his chest with a smile. "Brother Fei, school hasn't started yet, so you don't have a job and naturally don't have any money."

"I'll treat you to meals for the next few days."

"Good brother, once I have money, I'll treat you too!" Fei put an arm around Wang Sheng's shoulder and walked outside. "I'm a little hungry anyway. Let's go."

Wang Sheng did exactly as he said and waved his large hand. "Everyone, let's go together. It's lunchtime."

"There's food?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she quickly followed.

"Xiao San, you haven't eaten either, right? Come, I'll take you to eat." Yu Xiaogang smiled.

"No." Tang San shook his head. "Teacher, I'll eat with Xiao Wu and the others."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction.

However, when Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San's thin and frail appearance and sallow skin, he saw that, although Tang San looked healthy, there was barely any flesh on him.

"Xiao San, you still need to pay attention to your diet."

"A healthy body will also help with cultivation."

Tang San nodded slightly.

But even eating his fill was difficult for him, let alone getting enough nutrition.

Still, he had his pride.

It was better not to bring up such matters.

Nuoding Academy's cafeteria was huge.

After taking a rough look around, Fei estimated that the single-story building could hold at least a thousand people.

Such a sight shocked Xiao Wu and Tang San, two country bumpkins.

"It's so big!"

"There must be lots of delicious food!"

Xiao Wu happily stepped forward.

"Sister Xiao Wu, don't run around! You, Tang San, and Brother Fei are all new here and unfamiliar with the place, so let me lead you!" Wang Sheng said with great responsibility. If they had no money yet still ran around, they would definitely be punished by the academy if they accidentally ate a meal without paying.

"Well, well! Isn't this that bunch of poor work-study students?" At that moment, an ill-timed voice suddenly rang out.
