Huo Yutong

Douluo God Realm.

"Damn God of Destruction!"

A blue-haired man holding a Golden Trident spoke with a gloomy expression; clearly, he was the leader of the God Realm appointed by the two God Kings of Good and Evil.

In the blink of an eye, as if thinking of something, he slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, thanks to the preparations he had left on the Douluo Continent, everything on the Douluo Plane remained within his grasp.

"Grandpa, why is it that when a woman dresses as a man, she's called dashing, but when a man dresses as a woman, he's called a sissy?"

"That depends on the person's specific actions. A man dressing as a woman to get close and assassinate a lecherous enemy is also a hero."

"Then if a woman can dress as a man to move into the boys' dormitory, does that mean if a man dresses as a woman and does nothing, he can also move into the girls' dormitory?"

Mu En: ...

At the entrance of the white dormitory building, an old man in grey cloth, his face covered in wrinkles and looking as if he were at death's door, lay half-reclined on a chair. Beside him, a delicate and handsome young boy asked with a serious expression. He had black hair and black eyes, with two or three messy strands of hair sticking up, and his fair fingers peeled the skin off a banana.

"If you want to be expelled, you are more than welcome to try." A somewhat hoarse voice sounded with a hint of mockery.

"Don't, I'm just joking. I paid ten Gold Soul Coins, after all." A flash of heartache crossed the boy's fair little face.

An Zhen was truly pained.

Although Shrek Academy hadn't raised its tuition fees in ten thousand years—which was quite conscientious, considering it hadn't increased since it grew from a broken village to its current scale—it was still an almost unbearable burden for an undercover agent with an orphan's background.

Transmigrator, orphan.

At age six, due to his Innate Full Soul Power, he was taken under the wing of the Hongchen Family of the Sun Moon Empire. At age ten, he applied to his foster father... his godfather Jing Hongchen to study soul master knowledge at Shrek Academy. After much maneuvering, he entered as an orphan, having been recommended by a city lord of a major city in the Heaven Spirit Empire who appreciated his talent.

An orphan naturally had no family assets.

The city lord had given him some, but it was far from enough.

Of course, the key point was that tuition was non-refundable.

"Grandpa, want a banana? You can chew a banana, right?" The cheerful boy stuffed the peeled fruit directly into the old man's withered, twig-like hands. The old man looked helpless; they looked just like a grandfather and grandson basking in the sun.

"This old man is not a dormitory manager."

Forced to take the fruit, the weak old man had no choice but to accept it helplessly.

"Look at you, it's as if I'm bribing you. Can't it just be me respecting the old and loving the young?"

What normal boy wouldn't have some curiosity about the girls' dormitory?

The sun was high in the sky.

Under the warm sun, the old man and the young boy lay on their chairs, quietly enjoying the rare good weather. The boys and girls passing by didn't pay much attention, assuming the two were just relatives of a teacher as they headed upstairs.

"Hello, Grandpa. I'm a new student here to move into the dormitory. Do you need to check my freshman badge?"

A soft, tender voice rang out, filled with respect.

Without lifting his head, the old man extended a trembling right hand, his voice hoarse and low. "Hand over the badge and the dormitory key."

"Whoosh~"

The two items traced a graceful arc through the air before landing on someone's peaceful, sleeping face.

"Mmm~"

A lazy murmur sounded, and a pair of sleepy eyes opened. The boy reached out to grope for whatever had disturbed his afternoon nap.

A badge and a key?

"Room 108?"

An Zhen subconsciously read the number written on the key.

"Young people shouldn't lack vitality like this old bag of bones." Mu En's hoarse voice carried a hint of kind laughter.

"Not getting enough sleep stunts your growth," the eleven-year-old boy, nearly 1.6 meters tall, said righteously. This wasn't laziness; it was for the sake of his physical health.

"Hmm."

The old man nodded gently and closed his dim eyes.

"..."

Who told me to respect the old and love the young?

An Zhen stood up, looking unwilling.

He reached out and gave the lounge chair a light push. The next moment, the space rippled, and the chair, which could easily hold two people, vanished.

"This is?"

An Zhen's gaze rested on the little cutie in front of him, his pupils dilating in eyes as clear as crystal gems.

The petite body looked to be only about 1.4 meters tall, which was considered quite malnourished on this continent where everyone developed early. Her slightly faded clothes were neat and clean, and she had short, ear-length hair as blue as the deep sea, a fair and cute face, and curved willow brows.

The most striking feature was those eyes; they seemed to hold a pool of autumn water, as bright and sparkling as the stars.

Where did this little cutie come from?

"Very beautiful eyes."

Without shifting his gaze, An Zhen offered an honest compliment.

"Th... thank you."

The somewhat insecure child lowered her head instinctively, a slender, thin hand gently pinching the corner of her simple clothing.

"My name is An Zhen, a first-year student this year."

"Huo... Huo Yutong." Her voice was as low as a mosquito's hum. The Loli favored by Fate bravely raised her head, but when her eyes, brilliant as the stars, met his enthusiastic and confident black eyes, she couldn't help but look away. "My name is Huo Yutong, also a first-year student this year."

"Let's go, follow me."

Grabbing her slender wrist, An Zhen walked directly toward the first-floor dormitory.

"Ah!"

Startled by his actions, Huo Yutong froze for a moment, letting herself be led toward the dormitory like a doll.

After the two had left, a tall, upright figure appeared silently behind Mu En. The refined middle-aged man bowed respectfully and said, "Teacher."

"I originally wanted to stay with the energetic children to feel a bit of youthful vitality, but I didn't expect to wait for such a lazy little fellow." Though he said this, his eyes were filled with a kind smile, as if he were speaking of a beloved grandson.

"An Zhen, orphan, eleven years old, twenty-third-level Soul Grand Master. His Martial Soul is World, and he possesses a very strong ability to influence emotions. Even if one knows he has such an ability, when facing his enthusiasm, one will unconsciously lower their guard and be influenced by him."

"Shao Zhe, you are overthinking it."

Mu En shook his head gently. "Do not use an adult's mindset to suspect a child. Humans are social animals; why should one resist the enthusiasm of the world?"

"Uh."

A look of embarrassment appeared on the refined man's face. "This student just feels that this child is very special."

The key turned in the lock.

An Zhen held Huo Yutong's wrist to stop her from entering. Under the Loli's puzzled gaze, he raised a hand and swept it, a gust of wind dispersing the stagnant air and kicking up a cloud of dust throughout the room.

"These dorms haven't been lived in for a while. You stay here, I'll go take care of this."

Under the Loli's surprised gaze, the dust filling the room was blown directly into the corner by the gale.

He opened the window to ventilate.

"The living conditions for ordinary students are really bad."

An Zhen complained.

The dormitory was only about ten square meters with no private bathroom, just like his university dorm in his past life—no, wait, his university dorm had air conditioning. And this was the number one school on the continent; everyone who entered could be called a genius outside.

Sigh, Flender's spirit of stinginess has found a worthy successor.

"Thank you, Big Brother An Zhen."

Huo Yutong thanked him gratefully.

"It's nothing." An Zhen waved his hand; it was just a small favor. "However, my control over water isn't that strong yet, so you'll have to handle the rest of the cleaning yourself."

"You can even control water! Big Brother An Zhen's Martial Soul is truly amazing." The blue-haired, cross-dressing Loli said sincerely. Seeming to feel his goodwill, the once insecure Loli felt a sense of closeness to the person before her and asked curiously, "My Martial Soul is Spirit Eyes. What is Big Brother An Zhen's Martial Soul?"

"World."

Modulation mode.

An Zhen silently added the last four words in his heart.

The kind that should have appeared in an adult-oriented anime, the rather indecent kind.
