Inside Dorm Seven, Xiao Feng took out another brand-new bedsheet and let Xiao Wu make her own bed, claiming, "I bought one extra."
Xiao Wu happily spread it out, then lay down on the warm bedding and could not help voicing her heartfelt feeling. "So soft. So comfortable."
Seeing Xiao Wu like this, Xiao Feng's lips unconsciously curled into a smile. The saying was true: since ancient times, deep affection could never hold someone back; only clever tactics could win their heart!
This step was already secure. Could Xiao Wu still run away?
Under everyone's admiring gazes, Xiao Feng fell asleep. There was no other reason—he simply wanted to sleep. Meanwhile, Xiao Wu curiously studied him, her eyes carrying curiosity and other unusual emotions. No one knew what she was thinking.
Tang San, on the other hand, always had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Helpless, he could only force himself into a state of cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and only then did that feeling disappear.
Time passed bit by bit, and a whole day went by.
At dusk, Tang San woke Xiao Feng.
"Brother Xiao Feng, everyone's getting ready to eat. Are you going?"
After hearing Tang San, Xiao Feng had not planned to go. But then he remembered Xiao Chen from the original story—the son of Nuoding City's lord, the one who had designs on Xiao Wu. So he decided to teach him a lesson first, letting him know not to think about what he should not.
Xiao Feng turned around and saw Xiao Wu sleeping soundly. Her long eyelashes were beautiful, and her slightly flushed cheeks carried a gentle softness that involuntarily stirred tenderness in one's heart.
After nodding at Tang San, Xiao Feng carefully got out of bed and quietly took out two carrots, placing them on the bedside table beside Xiao Wu.
"Brother Xiao Feng, aren't we calling Xiao Wu along?"
Xiao Feng shook his head. "No need. We can bring her something later. Let her sleep."
Then the two left Dorm Seven and headed to the cafeteria with Wang Sheng and the others outside. The moment Xiao Feng left the dormitory, Xiao Wu opened her eyes. She had awakened the instant Xiao Feng took out the carrots, but she had not opened her eyes. After hearing what Xiao Feng said, she felt warmth fill her heart.
Other than her mother, Xiao Feng was the first person she had met in the human world who treated her so gently. Looking at the carrot on the bedside table, she smiled and picked one up. Yet she did not eat it, only stared at it in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
Elsewhere, led by Wang Sheng and the others, the group arrived before a two-story building.
"Brother Xiao Feng, Brother San, this is our cafeteria." Wang Sheng spoke with a beaming smile, like an exceptionally sensible little lackey.
Looking at the building before him, Xiao Feng said calmly, "It looks decent enough. I just wonder whether the food inside tastes good. What do you think, Little San?"
Hearing Xiao Feng's voice, Tang San replied quietly, "It definitely won't be as good as what we usually eat."
Tang San was referring to the delicacies from the villa. Xiao Feng nodded in agreement. "Forget it. Since we're here, let's give it a try."
The group then entered the cafeteria. Just as Xiao Feng and the others stepped inside, a mocking voice rang out from the second floor.
"Oh, isn't this Wang Sheng and his bunch of paupers? Looking at you, it seems you've found a new boss?"
"But Dorm Seven is still Dorm Seven—the paupers' territory. I'm afraid you'll never get to eat on the second floor."
Xiao Feng looked over and saw an ordinary-looking boy standing at the stairway entrance on the second floor, his eyes filled with disdain. When the people behind him heard his words, they immediately burst into unrestrained laughter.
For some reason, Xiao Feng felt that this guy was begging for a beating. This person was Xiao Chen.
Seeing Xiao Feng's slightly furrowed brow, Tang San lowered his voice. "Brother Xiao Feng, give me one minute. I'll make him recognize his mistake."
However, Xiao Feng stopped Tang San and smiled. "Let me do it. Consider it a little exercise before dinner."
Hearing that, Tang San said nothing more and silently stepped aside, though his gaze remained cold as he stared at Xiao Chen and the others.
"I heard from Wang Sheng that you're the boss of all Nuoding Academy?" Xiao Feng asked with a smile.
"What, you want to follow me? It's not impossible. Beat Wang Sheng up, and I'll let you join me. How about it?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Feng laughed.
"Follow you? Heh, I'm afraid you're not qualified!"
Xiao Feng sneered and attacked without another word. His legs exploded with force as he instantly leaped up from the first floor to the second, looking excitedly at Xiao Chen and the others.
"From today onward, I call the shots at Nuoding Academy!"
After three months of training under Rui Mengmeng, Xiao Feng's physical abilities had long become terrifying. Even without a Spirit Ring, he could fight a Spirit Master below level twenty-five with his bare body, let alone this bunch of trash, none of whom besides Xiao Chen had even obtained one Spirit Ring.
Xiao Feng's fist, carrying overwhelming force, shot straight toward Xiao Chen. It was so fast that Xiao Chen had no time to dodge and could only hurriedly raise both arms to block.
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of breaking bones, Xiao Chen was sent from the second floor straight down to the first by Xiao Feng's punch. Yes, he was punched through the floor and fell all the way down.
Xiao Feng had used only thirty percent of his strength in that punch, but even that was enough to fracture both of Xiao Chen's blocking arms.
Xiao Chen lay on the shattered floor of the first level, unable to stop himself from coughing up blood. Then he looked at Xiao Feng in terror.
"That's all you've got? I thought you were stronger than this. So, do you still want me to follow you?"
Xiao Feng looked completely different from his usual self. At that moment, he was domineering and arrogant, one foot planted on Xiao Chen's chest as he looked down at him.
"Of course, you can find someone to retaliate against me afterward. As long as you aren't afraid that Nuoding City's lord might die in an accident and be replaced."
Only Xiao Chen heard those words. When he did, the terror in his eyes grew even stronger. He understood what Xiao Feng meant, because Nuoding City's lord was his father. Someone capable of making his father die in an "accident" was not someone he could afford to provoke. Xiao Feng's strength alone was already beyond anything he could handle.
Overcome with fear, Xiao Chen hurriedly nodded.
"From today onward, I call the shots at Nuoding Academy. Does anyone have an objection?"
Xiao Feng swept his gaze across the people around him, but wherever his eyes passed, no one dared meet them. What a joke—none of them could afford to offend Xiao Chen, much less Xiao Feng, who had knocked Xiao Chen flat with one punch.
Seeing that no one objected, Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Chen beneath his foot and smiled in satisfaction. "From now on, I don't want to see you or your people acting arrogantly in the academy. Understand?"
Seeing Xiao Feng's devilish smile, Xiao Chen nodded with incredible speed.
"Fine, I'll let you off this time. I didn't use much force, so your arms are only fractured. But before you leave, remember to pay for the cafeteria's damages and my meal."
Xiao Feng pointed at the hole in the second floor, then calmly walked over to Tang San and the others.
"Today, we're eating on the second floor. Boss Xiao is treating us."
Dorm Seven immediately erupted in laughter. Everyone understood what Xiao Feng meant by "Boss Xiao," and then the entire group headed up to the second floor.
After leaving behind ten Gold Soul Coins for his lackeys, Xiao Chen departed alone. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang, who had been observing from the entrance the entire time, had lit-up eyes. He had seen it—Xiao Feng's strength was simply terrifying!
Thus, his thoughts began to stir.
