Asura Field

Dai Mubai did not want to wander around in front of Zhu Zhuqing wearing a beggar's outfit. Furious with embarrassment, he tossed the task of leading everyone to the dormitories to Oscar and the others.

Ma Hongjun loudly mocked his frantic retreating figure.

Shen Ranxi could not help but sigh. The fat guy often gave off the unhinged energy of someone who might not live to see tomorrow.

"Tang San, do you still have the strength to collect the Hidden Weapons from this area?"

Tang San nodded. Having just eaten a sausage, he had recovered more than half his strength.

Rather than collecting the Hidden Weapons, he stood at a suitable distance from Shen Ranxi and said gently, "I'll help you remove the Dragon Whisker Needle first."

Shen Ranxi looked at the wound on her arm and nodded.

As Shen Ranxi watched him bend slightly toward her with a serious expression, his long fingers lightly brushing her arm, her somewhat higher body temperature made him feel like a piece of cold jade.

Once Tang San had finished, Shen Ranxi hooked her foot around the Golden Cudgel, shrank it down, and tucked it into her hair.

"Come on. I'll take you to the dormitories."

The others were somewhat curious, but since they had only met today, they could only let it go regretfully.

Other than Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who had not taken part, everyone else had more or less damaged clothing.

The group chatted as they walked toward the dormitories, eating the recovery sausages Oscar had given them for free.

Although the Dean had money now, the dormitory conditions had not improved much. The teachers had spent all the money on the Mimicry Cultivation Environment. That thing was a true Money-Guzzling Beast—after spending so much, they had only managed to build a small one.

They soon arrived at the dormitories. Oscar pointed to the buildings on either side. "The boys' dormitories are over here, and the girls' dormitories are over there. There aren't any vacant rooms for boys right now, but there are two for girls. You can decide who rooms with whom."

Then he added, "Boys aren't allowed into the girls' dormitories. Don't say I didn't warn you." This was clearly directed at Tang San.

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she darted to Shen Ranxi's side. "Ranxi, I'll sleep with you!"

Ning Rongrong, who had been a step too slow, refused to be outdone. "Ran-Ranxi, I want to live with you too."

The two glared at each other with fire in their eyes, neither willing to yield an inch. Their friendly interaction from earlier vanished in that instant like a bubble popping with a snap.

The smile at the Corner of Shen Ranxi's Mouth rose so high it would not come down. She pretended to be troubled. Fine, I'll come clean—I won't hide it anymore~ Being too charming is just like this. What a bother.

Fortunately, there were only two...

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing also said she wanted to live with Shen Ranxi.

An Asura Field—a three-women-fighting-over-one-woman Asura Field!

Oscar: Again! This again! I never thought I'd have to compete with girls for a girl's attention!

Ma Hongjun: Hahaha! What a show! What a show! Those two Pretty Boys are going to get shut down!

After enjoying the competition between beauties for a while, Shen Ranxi finally said, "Sorry, but there's already someone in my dorm room. My younger sister has always lived with me. She isn't at the Academy right now, but she comes back on weekends."

Besides, the secrets she carried were not suitable for sharing with others.

Seeing the faint disappointment on the three girls' faces, Shen Ranxi comforted them.

"But I have gifts for everyone."

The disappointment on Xiao Wu's face vanished without a trace, and she looked at Shen Ranxi with sparkling eyes.

Her gaze made Shen Ranxi's heart go soft. Used to being an older sister, Shen Ranxi habitually reached out and patted Xiao Wu on the head.

The next second, she felt the body beneath her hand stiffen. Shen Ranxi wanted to smack herself. Her stupid hand had moved too fast—before her brain could react, she had already touched her...

Just as she was about to pull back, she felt Xiao Wu rub against her palm. This Little Rabbit was too adorable.

She took out the Scented Sachets she had made herself.

"I make these when I have free time. There are lots of scents—some light and elegant, some rich and intense. Pick whichever you like. There are some for the boys too. You can put them in your rooms; they'll put you in a good mood."

Tang San said, "Let the girls choose first."

In the end, Xiao Wu chose a Lychee-and-Lemon scent, which suited her lively and adorable personality.

Ning Rongrong chose the Jasmine Tea scent, reserved and gentle.

Zhu Zhuqing chose a Sage-and-Sea Salt combination, cool and mysterious, fitting her temperament.

When Tang San stepped closer, a faint scent that did not come from the Scented Sachets drifted to the Tip of his Nose. His Brow Center twitched, and the color of his Ear Tips beneath his hair turned suspicious.

He quickly chose a Mint-and-Cedar scent, then returned to a polite distance.

In the end, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong stayed together. The two seemed to have forgotten their earlier rivalry, chatting and laughing as they entered the dormitory.

Zhu Zhuqing lived alone.

"If you need anything, come find me. The Academy provides bedding, but you can use your own if you don't like it. Now let's go look at the bathing area. You can rest for a while, and we'll go to the Cafeteria together this afternoon."

There had originally been only one bathing area, and it was quite far away, making it very inconvenient. In the end, Teacher Zhao and Teacher Li put in the effort, while the teachers paid to build a new one beside the dormitories.

Over the years, she had made it very comfortable and beautiful.

"Wow, it really is a beautiful bathroom." Under the bright lights, it looked adorable and cozy. There was even a huge bathtub, and all kinds of Handmade Soap and Bath Bombs in different shapes hung on the walls.

Shen Ranxi took down a cat-shaped Bath Bomb. "This is for bathing. Just take one if you want to use it. Don't be shy."

No Girl could resist such things. Each of the three took one. "So cute! So exquisite!"

...But it did not seem to suit Shen Ranxi very well. Someone so wild in battle and so powerful—a Genius like her did not seem like the sort of person who would spend time and energy on this kind of thing... The three stared at Shen Ranxi with unreadable looks.

Shen Ranxi resisted the urge to roll her eyes and smiled. "This is called enjoying life. I enjoy becoming stronger, but I also enjoy living well. I'm a refined girl, okay!"

Although they did not understand what "girl" meant, the others understood what she was saying.

Only then did the three girls realize that Shen Ranxi possessed a strikingly beautiful face, rich and exquisite in its features. Yet most people noticed her presence and strength first, overlooking her appearance.

After tidying up the dormitory, they took turns soaking in the bathtub.

"Ah, this feels so good!" Xiao Wu stretched lazily and flopped spread-eagled onto the bed, turning her head to look at Ning Rongrong, who was still hurriedly organizing her things.

As expected of a young lady—she was stubbornly trying to adapt to these crude living conditions, so completely different from what she was used to.

The two girls' setups were completely different. Ning Rongrong's side was filled with decorations she liked, so luxurious that they looked entirely out of place in this dilapidated wooden building.

Ning Rongrong had clearly been raised amid wealth. Those jewelry pieces and ornaments looked as though they had cost nothing at all... Only then did Xiao Wu fully realize just how wealthy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was.

The sunset glow stretched long and slanted, its lingering warmth spilling in through the window and spreading across the floor and bed, enveloping Xiao Wu as she slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Ning Rongrong had been about to ask Xiao Wu whether there were any accessories she liked, but when she saw that Xiao Wu had fallen asleep, the thought receded.

Thinking of those people who had happily accepted her jewelry, only to secretly accuse her of being arrogant and insulting them by giving charity, and those who flattered her to her face, her heart trembled. Yet a disdainful expression curled across her face.

This young lady doesn't care anyway!
