Why Is the Gap Between People So Big?

September 1st.

"Let's go, Dongfang. Let's register together."

Mofan arrived at Dongfang Chen's residence.

After learning that Dongfang Chen had also been admitted to Mingzhu Academy, he came to invite him to register together.

Mofan had come to Magic City half a year ago and joined the Qingtian Hunter Club.

Over these six months, Mofan had worked desperately to earn money, finally saving up enough to buy the expensive Fire Element Spirit Seed, Mei Yan.

That's right, Mei Yan.

Back when Dongfang Chen casually helped Tang Yue finish off her mission target, Chao He, he had the Dongfang Family bring Mei Yan back.

His original intention was for the younger generation of the family to absorb it.

But now the Dongfang Family wasn't short on money. Talented youths like Dongfang Lie, for example, had already been equipped with decent Spirit Seeds after advancing to Intermediate Level.

So Mei Yan was passed on by the Dongfang Family to an auction house.

It eventually ended up in Mofan's hands.

"Coming."

Dongfang Chen's voice rang out.

Then he walked out of the villa with two delicate little beauties, Ye Xin Xia and Ding Yumian.

During this time, though Mofan had been In Contact with Dongfang Chen, this was his first time visiting Dongfang Chen's place.

The moment he saw Ding Yumian, his mouth dropped wide open.

"This... you, when did you get another Girlfriend by your side?"

Mofan asked instinctively.

Hearing Mofan's words, Ding Yumian's face flushed red as she lowered her head.

Mofan thought it was already rare enough for Dongfang Chen to keep Ye Xin Xia and Mu Ningxue living in peace.

Now there was another one added?

"Don't talk nonsense. Yumian isn't my Girlfriend."

After Dongfang Chen's clarification.

Ding Yumian's eyes dimmed a little.

Over the past year, though she lived with Dongfang Chen, their relationship hadn't made any breakthrough progress.

After all, there was still Ye Xin Xia between them. Knowing the relationship between Dongfang Chen and Ye Xin Xia, Ding Yumian couldn't bring herself to do something like seducing someone else's Boyfriend.

"But I wouldn't mind having a Girlfriend like Yumian. Too bad she probably wouldn't take a liking to me."

I would!

Ding Yumian wanted to muster the courage to say that, but the words died on her lips.

Ye Xin Xia blinked from the side.

She didn't oppose Brother Chen being with Yumian.

After all, handling Brother Chen alone was pretty exhausting.

Especially those two days after Brother Chen came out of seclusion from training—she was practically worn out in bed every day.

Soft and Cute Xin Xia loved Brother Chen to the extreme, but sometimes she did get a little jealous.

So seeing that neither of them had broken through that barrier, she didn't take the initiative to play matchmaker either.

"Alright, registration time is almost up. Let's hurry over."

Dongfang Chen urged.

"Right, and I can get to know my roommates too."

Mofan had successfully gotten into Mingzhu Academy a few days ago using the Summoning Element, but he chose not to live on campus. Instead, he continued working as a Hunter Mage taking on missions.

Ever since Mofan advanced to Intermediate Level, the cultivation resources he needed had multiplied exponentially.

Without any background or faction backing him, the only way to get cultivation resources was to earn money himself.

By now, Mofan was practically a money-making maniac.

After arriving at Mingzhu Academy.

Ye Xin Xia and Ding Yumian headed to the Girls' Dormitory together.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Chen and Mofan walked toward the Boys' Dormitory.

Although the school assigned each student a dorm, Dongfang Chen didn't plan to live on campus.

If he lived on campus, how would he cuddle with Soft and Cute Xin Xia at night?

And that smoldering little girl Ding Yumian wouldn't be able to eavesdrop from the corner either.

Because he had taken a year off, the school directly placed Dongfang Chen among this year's new students as well.

"Hiss! He's back!"

"Isn't he that New Student Great Demon King from last year?"

"That's right! Back then, no one in his class could last more than three moves against him!"

As Dongfang Chen walked along the school path, quite a few Senior Students had already recognized him.

After all, the shadow Dongfang Chen had cast over all the new students back then was far too deep.

Dongfang Chen greeted these people warmly.

But they looked as if they'd seen a ghost, lowering their heads and quickening their steps to get away.

"Dongfang, how come everyone seems to know you? And they're pretty scared of you too?"

Mofan hadn't registered last year, so he had no idea what had happened at the school.

"If you beat up every new student, they'd recognize you too," Dongfang Chen said.

He hadn't actually beaten up every new student last year, but it wasn't far off.

After all, by then almost no one dared to step up and challenge him.

"Hiss! You bastard, how do you stir up trouble everywhere you go?"

Hearing this, Dongfang Chen shot Mofan an annoyed look.

You, the troublemaker king of the Original Work, what right do you have to say that to me?

Dongfang Chen and Mofan happened to be in the same dorm, which was quite a coincidence.

When the two reached the dormitory entrance, a man with curly hair walked out.

Seeing them, he greeted Dongfang Chen.

"Dongfang Chen? You're in this dorm too?"

This man was the second young master of the Magic City's Zhao Clan, Zhao Manyan.

In recent years, the Dongfang Family had risen rapidly thanks to their pill business, drawing envy from many factions.

But as the current Dongfang Family Patriarch, Dongfang Mo—Dongfang Chen's Uncle—was shrewd.

He hadn't let the Dongfang Family monopolize all the pill profits.

First, he used the pills to build close cooperation with the Military Department.

Then, he united several major families in the Magic City circle, including the Zhao Clan, Mu Family, and Bai Family, to form a Trade Association.

Although the Dongfang Family still held the Big Head share in the pill business, the other Trade Association members had also gotten a decent cut.

Because the Dongfang Family and Zhao Clan had close business ties, Zhao Manyan knew Dongfang Chen.

In fact, in terms of family status, Zhao Manyan was a step below Dongfang Chen.

Though Zhao Manyan was the Zhao Clan's second young master, his standing in the family wasn't high.

As for Dongfang Chen, he alone had gathered all the Dongfang Family's favor; if he wanted, he could become the Dongfang Family Patriarch immediately.

That was something Zhao Manyan couldn't match.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mofan, same as me, from Bocheng," Dongfang Chen said, introducing Mofan to Zhao Manyan.

"Mofan? Hello, I'm Zhao Manyan."

The three chatted at the dormitory entrance.

Though Zhao Manyan was closer to Dongfang Chen, it was Mofan who talked the most with him.

Those two were like a turtle meeting a bean—they clicked right away.

"You two, I've got a lunch date with a Senior Sister, so I'll Walk first," Zhao Manyan said after a while, checking the time and leaving.

"Yeah, I'm having lunch with Xin Xia and Yumian too. You can handle your own bed," Dongfang Chen said.

Since he didn't plan to stay in the dorm, he just tossed his bedding down roughly and left some personal stuff.

Mofan, intending to live in the dorm long-term, had more to organize.

"Get lost, you lovebirds deserve to die!"

Mofan flipped Dongfang Chen off in disdain.

Zhao Manyan had a date with a Senior Sister, Dongfang Chen had Ye Xin Xia and Ding Yumian, two little beauties, while he had to miserably make his bed in the dorm.

Why was the gap between people so huge?

Mofan thought, full of resentment.
