My Name Is Xiao Wu, Wu as in Dancing

Tang San paused mid-step and instinctively looked back.

The girl looked about the same age as him. She wore a pink dress, her long hair braided into a scorpion braid, and she was hopping her way upstairs.

As if sensing his gaze from behind, the girl paused and happened to meet Tang San's eyes.

She gave him a sweet smile and asked, "Hey, you downstairs, do you know which floor is so lively?"

Seeing her sweet smile, Tang San felt like his heart skipped a beat, and even his words became stuttered.

"It's, it's on the third floor."

"Thanks."

Hearing the girl's sweet voice, Tang San's cheeks inexplicably grew warm. He mumbled an "Mm" and hurried downstairs to get his bedding.

The girl tilted her head and glanced at his retreating back, muttering, "Weirdo," before excitedly running up to the third floor.

The moment she reached the door, she ran into a bustling moving scene.

Inside Three Dorm, Jiang Chen sat on the bed by the window with one leg crossed over the other, directing several Work-Study Students to roll Xiao Huohuo and the other two's bedding into spring-roll shapes and haul them out.

The bruised and battered Xiao Huohuo and the other two carried their bundles downstairs, occasionally looking back.

"What, still not convinced?"

Jiang Chen leaned half his body out the window, his gaze sweeping over them.

The three immediately turned back around and scrambled downstairs.

"Are you guys fighting over dorm rooms?" At that moment, a sweet voice rang out.

Everyone in the room froze and turned around in unison.

A delicately pretty girl stood in the doorway, her large, bright eyes curiously examining them.

This building was mostly occupied by boys. With such a pretty girl suddenly appearing, the group was momentarily dumbstruck.

Seeing the girl's outfit and the pair of long legs that did not suit her age, Jiang Chen understood.

This girl was probably Xiao Wu.

According to the original plot, she should have been fighting Tang San right about now, but his appearance seemed to have caused some deviations.

Noticing everyone's stares, the girl did not shrink back. Instead, she walked in openly, clasping her hands behind her back. "Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing. I'm a Work-Study Student from this year's intake."

"H-hello, my name is Wang Sheng."

"I-I'm Tie Zhu."

"My name is..."

Seeing how polite she was, several of the children began introducing themselves as well.

Only Jiang Chen remained seated where he was, with no intention of introducing himself.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Wang Sheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xiao Wu, since you're a Work-Study Student, you should be staying in Dorm Seven too, right?"

Xiao Wu blinked and smiled. "That's right. I went to Dorm Seven just now and found no one there, so I came up to see what all the commotion was about."

"Then that explains it."

Wang Sheng walked over to her and rolled his neck, producing a series of cracks. "First, let me tell you Dorm Seven's rules. Any newcomer has to fight Dorm Seven's boss."

"If you lose, you have to help us with chores. If you win, you become Dorm Seven's boss."

After hearing Wang Sheng's explanation, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. Rather than being afraid, she looked eager to try. "A fight? Sure! Who's the boss? Are we starting now?"

"The boss is over there."

Wang Sheng pointed in a direction.

Following his finger, Xiao Wu finally noticed the boy who had been sitting there silently all along.

He was rather handsome, fair and clean-looking—probably the best-looking person she had seen since entering the human world.

He must have been the pretty boy her mother had mentioned.

Xiao Wu walked up to Jiang Chen and planted her hands on her hips. "You're their boss?"

Jiang Chen shook his head. "I'm not."

"You're lying. That person was clearly pointing at you."

A smug look flashed across Xiao Wu's face. "Or are you afraid to fight Sister Xiao Wu?"

Jiang Chen pointed at the plaque by the door. "Take a look at which dorm this is."

"Three Dorm. What's the problem?"

"The problem is huge, all right?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Wu looked somewhat confused. "W-what's the problem?"

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at her. "I live in Three Dorm, while you're looking for Dorm Seven's boss. What part of that doesn't have a problem?"

Xiao Wu tilted her head, utterly bewildered. "What do you mean? You're not from Dorm Seven?"

Before Jiang Chen could speak, Wang Sheng could not help stepping forward to explain. "Sorry, I forgot... Boss Jiang Chen just drove out the Academy students living here. Now this Three Dorm belongs to Boss Jiang Chen and Boss Tang San, so Dorm Seven's boss..."

He paused, scratching his head a little awkwardly. "For now, I guess it's me? Though I lost too."

"So that's how it is."

Xiao Wu looked at Jiang Chen. "So you guys took the upperclassmen's dorm room?"

"How could something scholars do be called taking?"

Jiang Chen said with a straight face, "I'm merely borrowing it for the time being. I'll naturally return it once I graduate."

Even Xiao Wu, who was called the Rogue Rabbit, found that statement shameless.

"Dorm Seven is empty now. If you want to be the boss, you can go back and challenge him."

Jiang Chen pointed at Wang Sheng, who immediately puffed out his chest and tried his best to look more imposing.

"I don't want to."

Xiao Wu curled her lips. Her gaze swept around the spacious, bright Three Dorm, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "You still have an empty bed here! I want to live here too!"

Even an idiot could see that the conditions here were much better than in Dorm Seven.

"Since you're Three Dorm's boss, Sister Xiao Wu is challenging you now!" Xiao Wu pointed at Jiang Chen.

"You want to challenge me?"

Jiang Chen raised a brow and slowly rose from the bed.

Though they were the same age, Jiang Chen had the boost of the Creation Green Lotus Art and a Soul Ring, making him a full head taller than Xiao Wu.

When he stood up, he completely overshadowed her petite frame.

"Y-you're so tall?"

Xiao Wu thought she had developed quite well, yet she still had to look up to meet Jiang Chen's gaze.

Jiang Chen spread his hands. "You're short, and that's somehow my fault?"

"Hmph!"

Xiao Wu raised her little face with a snort. "So what if you're tall? Sister Xiao Wu specializes in beating tall people!"

With that, she stepped back and assumed a fighting stance. A yellow Soul Ring lit up beneath her feet.

"Xiao Wu, Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit. Fourteenth-level Soul Master. Please advise!"

As soon as those words left her mouth, everyone present sharply inhaled.

This girl, who looked so soft and delicate, was actually a fourteenth-level Soul Master!

"Fourteenth level?"

Even Jiang Chen raised his brows in surprise.

He remembered that at this point in time, Xiao Wu seemingly did not have a Soul Ring yet, and her level was not this high either.

However, that did not change anything.

"Jiang Chen, Martial Soul: Green Lotus. Fifteenth-level Support-type Soul Master. Please advise."

Jiang Chen did not release his Soul Ring. He stepped forward and stopped in front of Xiao Wu.

Seeing this, everyone tactfully went outside, leaving the space to the two of them.

When Xiao Wu heard the words "Support-type Soul Master," a smug smile curled her lips.

After all, her Martial Soul abilities were the greatest counter to these dull, clumsy Support-type Soul Masters.

The position of Three Dorm's boss was as good as hers!
