"Xu Zhongyi," Feng Piaoling said in the Spirit Sea.
Electrolux relayed the message as instructed.
Hearing someone call his name—and hearing the voice directly in his mind—the hooked-nose old man, who was undercover, turned pale. He instinctively began looking around.
Xu Zhongyi was indeed his name. His original surname was Xu; later, after the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire took a liking to him, he was granted the surname Xu and the given name Zhongyi.
He was currently on a mission to infiltrate Shrek Academy.
"No need to look. My identity is too lofty for you to know; it would do you no good. You only need to know that I'm the Crown Prince's trusted subordinate."
Feng Piaoling said a sentence, and Electrolux relayed it.
Xu Zhongyi didn't doubt him. Only the Crown Prince knew this name.
And the only people who could call him by it now were the Crown Prince's trusted subordinates.
Feng Piaoling continued, "From now on, follow my orders."
Xu Zhongyi gave an almost imperceptible nod. Feng Piaoling went on, "I expect you've already registered a special-admission student named Huo Yuhao. Assign him to the same dormitory as this young master from the White Tiger Duke Mansion standing in front of you."
"Also, a girl in disguise will show up shortly. Her Martial Soul is the Light Goddess Butterfly."
"The Light Goddess Butterfly is the most beautiful butterfly Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent, the pinnacle of beauty among Beast Martial Souls. It only appears in very beautiful female Soul Masters, and does so randomly, with an extremely low chance. It isn't inherited through bloodlines."
"Shrek Academy should have records of it. Expose her. Just make sure she doesn't drop out."
After saying this, Feng Piaoling fell silent.
When Dai Huabin saw that Feng Piaoling hadn't retaliated against his provocation, he assumed the other boy was afraid of him and felt rather pleased with himself.
Feng Piaoling suddenly raised his middle finger at him.
The gesture made Dai Huabin's face flush crimson. But there was nothing he could do to Feng Piaoling, so he turned and growled a few words at the black-haired girl who had just finished registering.
The new students nearby all turned to look. Most of them showed sympathy for the black-haired girl, who had not only a figure far too voluptuous for her age, but also mismatched eyes.
Wang Donger, who was waiting in line not far behind Feng Piaoling, had watched the exchange between him and Dai Huabin. She couldn't help bursting out laughing.
She had to admit, this guy had the same thousand-year second ring as her and dared to accept a challenge from an older student. He was pretty interesting.
But she soon stopped laughing.
As the people ahead of her, Feng Piaoling among them, finished registering one by one, her turn came. When the hooked-nose teacher handling registration saw the form she handed over, he suddenly gave her a strange look.
"What is it? Is there a problem?" Wang Donger felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and her expression darkened.
"You're a girl, aren't you?" Xu Zhongyi asked, stunning everyone.
His words caused an uproar. Even the teacher beside him, who was in charge of collecting tuition, looked over.
Everyone turned toward Wang Donger with surprise and curiosity.
Feng Piaoling had finished registering and was now in line to pay his fees and collect his uniform. He, too, looked over.
He kept his expression calm, but inside he was already overjoyed.
Now that Huo Yuhao had been assigned Dai Huabin as a roommate, if Wang Donger's identity as a girl was exposed too, things would get interesting.
Let's see how he kept cheating his way through now.
A flash of panic quickly crossed Wang Donger's eyes. After taking a deep breath, she forced a smile. "You're joking, teacher. I may look a little delicate, but I really am a boy."
"Boys don't awaken the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul," Xu Zhongyi said.
"The Light Goddess Butterfly is the most beautiful butterfly Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent, the pinnacle of beauty among Beast Martial Souls. It only appears in very beautiful female Soul Masters, and does so randomly, with an extremely low chance. It isn't inherited through bloodlines."
"You say you're not a girl. Do you think this old man will believe you?"
After saying this, he gave Wang Donger a scrutinizing look.
Wang Donger was greatly taken aback.
She had followed her First Uncle and Second Uncle's instructions and disguised herself as a boy to enter Shrek.
She had never imagined her identity would be exposed on the very first day because of her Martial Soul.
Shrek's teachers truly lived up to their reputation.
"Couldn't there be an exception?"
Wang Donger still refused to give up.
"No." Seeing how obviously flustered she was, Xu Zhongyi felt certain and added,
"At Shrek Academy, there's a strict separation between boys and girls. Boys aren't allowed to set foot in the girls' dormitories. Violators will be expelled. But since you're a girl, I'll give you a chance."
"If you confess now, our Shrek Academy can overlook it on the grounds that you're young and mischievous. But if you deliberately conceal it and we find out later, you'll be expelled."
"We will show no leniency!"
What could Wang Donger say to that? With a sigh, she could only nod wearily and admit it.
The crowd erupted.
No one had expected that this boy, who also had a thousand-year second ring and was also impossibly handsome, would turn out to be a girl.
"Then remove your disguise and register again," Xu Zhongyi said, the corners of his mouth curling into a smug smile.
Wang Donger didn't say anything. She simply released her Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul. Four blue butterfly wings spread out, then wrapped around her body.
A brilliant, dazzling blue light burst from Wang Donger.
When the light faded, her appearance had changed.
First, her hair fell to her waist. Then her powder-blue eyes, which had matched her hair, turned golden.
Her once slender figure grew curvier, filling out the loose clothes she wore.
Her body was tall and graceful, and her peerless beauty made nearly every other woman present pale in comparison.
Feng Piaoling held the newly issued uniform and watched from a distance, silently nodding. Though he hated to admit it, the daughter of God King Tang really was quite beautiful. She was even more beautiful than Jiang Nannan, who was known as the Outer Courtyard's number-one beauty. Too bad she was a Wang Donger.
Seeing Wang Donger's appearance, Xu Zhongyi couldn't help exclaiming in admiration. Then he took out a fresh form and proceeded by the book. "Name?"
"Wang Dong'er," she gritted out, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
To have her identity exposed in front of so many people was social death on the spot.
Just then, Xu Zhongyi handed her a string of keys. "All right, student Wang Dong'er. On behalf of Shrek Academy, I welcome you. Your dormitory is on the fifth floor of the dorm building, room one. These are your keys. You can go over there to pay your fees and collect your uniform."
Wang Dong'er nodded and took the keys. Her expression was even worse than Dai Huabin's had been.
