Wang Dong'er Was Stunned: How Did You Get Two More Girlfriends?!
On the other side, after Dai Huabin came out of the Academic Affairs Office, he walked and introduced Shrek Outer Court to Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
"The Soul Fighting Arena is over there."
Dai Huabin pointed to a circular building to his left, with the Shrek Academy's green emblem embedded in its exterior wall.
"We usually have practical lessons and competitions there. The venue is quite large, divided into several sections, with separate areas for lower and higher grades."
Ice Empress peeked inside on tiptoe and muttered, "That's it? It's not even as big as a random flat piece of land on the Far North ice plains."
Zhu Lu whispered a reminder from the side, "Sister Bing'er, keep your voice down."
Ice Empress pursed their lips but didn't say anything more.
Snow Empress did not participate in the discussion.
She quietly followed behind Dai Huabin on the left, her sky-blue eyes observing the students coming and going.
These human teenagers, dressed in various school uniforms, walked by in twos and threes, occasionally casting curious glances, but quickly looking away.
Dai Huabin noticed Snow Empress's condition and slowed down.
"Xue'er, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Snow Empress shook her head. "No. It's just that it's the first time I've been watched by so many humans, and I'm a little uncomfortable."
"You'll get used to it." Dai Huabin said casually, "It's mainly because Xue'er, you're just too beautiful. Relax, just treat it like shopping."
Upon hearing the words "shopping," Ice Empress perked up. "Shopping? Do you have anything to eat?"
"The cafeteria is up ahead."
Dai Huabin took a few steps forward, turned a corner, and a blue brick building came into view.
"The food in this cafeteria is alright, with a good variety, but don't compare it to the Duke Mansion," Dai Huabin recalled the meals from last semester. "The braised pork was so-so, but the spare ribs were pretty good."
Ice Empress took note of this information and nodded seriously:
"The ribs are good, I'll remember that."
Zhu Lu couldn't help but smile.
Ice Empress has only been in the human world for a short time, but their passion for food has surpassed their interest in anything else.
The four continued walking forward, and as they passed the teaching building, Dai Huabin gave a brief overview of the course schedule.
Theoretical courses and practical courses, etc.
Snow Empress listened without any change in expression.
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress's expression changed drastically, and the corners of his mouth drooped down.
"Theory classes?" Ice Empress wrinkled their nose. "We have to have theory classes too?"
"You're an auditor, so you don't need to worry about these things. Just don't disrupt the class."
Dai Huabin explained.
Ice Empress finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After walking around for most of the way, Dai Huabin led the three of them through a small garden and arrived at the Freshman Dormitory Building.
This building has six floors. The boys' dormitory is on the first to third floors, and the girls' dormitory is on the fourth floor and above.
The building is neither new nor old, and its exterior walls are covered with ivy, giving it a somewhat academic feel.
Dai Huabin walked to the corner on the first floor and stopped in front of a door.
"This is my and Lulu's dorm room." He took out his key, pushed open the door, and let the three of them take a look.
The room wasn't big, with a bed, a table, and two chairs, but it was very clean.
On the table were Zhu Lu's notebook and ink bottle from last semester, and a freshly washed coat hung on the headboard.
Ice Empress peeked around and commented, "A bit crowded."
"Two people have enough space."
Dai Huabin closed the door, went next door, and took out another key.
"This room is yours."
He pushed open the door, and the room layout was exactly the same as his.
However, because the students who lived in this room last semester were eliminated, the room was empty for the entire holiday, and a thin layer of dust settled on the desk and windowsill.
Before coming to the Academic Affairs Office, Dai Huabin had heard Du Weilun mention that Zhou Yi had eliminated several students last semester, leaving many dorm rooms vacant. The room next door happened to be one of those vacant dorm rooms.
When Du Weilun was handling the paperwork, he casually asked where he was staying, Dai Huabin immediately asked for this room. It was close by, so they could easily help each other out if anything happened.
Ice Empress was the first to rush in, plopped down on the bed, and bounced twice.
"It's alright, a bit harder than the hotel room, but much softer than the ice field."
Snow Empress stood at the door without moving. She looked around the small room, then looked back at the corridor.
Students occasionally passed by in the corridor, mostly second and third graders wearing yellow school uniforms. They would glance at her curiously a few times as they passed by before moving on.
This is where she will live in the future.
An ordinary dormitory room.
"What's wrong?" Dai Huabin asked.
"Nothing."
Snow Empress walked in, the hem of her white dress brushing against the doorframe. She looked around and finally stopped by the window. The window faced west, offering a view of the distant sycamore trees and the roof of the dining hall.
Zhu Lu has already started working.
She retrieved a rag and basin from the storage room at the end of the corridor and wiped down the tabletop and windowsill.
Dai Huabin also took out two sets of bedding from his Soul Tool. Ice Empress was rushed to sweep the floor, muttering to himself, "When have I ever done this kind of work?"
Snow Empress stood there for a while, then picked up a rag.
After fussing for more than half an hour, the four of them finally managed to tidy up the dormitory room to make it look presentable.
The bedding was laid out, the tables and chairs were arranged, and the windows were opened for ventilation.
Ice Empress even found a small vase from somewhere and placed it on the windowsill, even though there were no flowers in it.
That's about it.
Dai Huabin dusted off his hands and leaned against the doorframe, looking at the three people inside.
Zhu Lu sat in a chair to catch her breath, a little sweat on her forehead.
Ice Empress lay on the bed, not wanting to move.
Snow Empress neatly folded the last rag and placed it on the corner of the table, very orderly.
Dai Huabin thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, Bing'er, there's something I want to make clear to you beforehand."
Ice Empress rolled over in bed, her emerald green twin tails swinging to one side:
"What's up?"
"Private fights are prohibited in the academy."
Dai Huabin's tone was very serious.
"Regardless of the reason, you cannot take action within the academy's premises. Tell me beforehand if anything happens, and I will handle it."
Ice Empress scoffed, sat up in bed, and crossed his arms.
"I possess a combat strength of approximately Level 98. How many people in this academy can defeat me?"
That's a statement made with absolute certainty.
If placed in the Far North, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion could roar and all the Soul Beast within a hundred miles would have to lie down.
It was indeed a bit difficult for her to refrain from taking action in this small human academy.
Dai Huabin smiled and replied slowly.
"There really is."
Ice Empress was taken aback by what he heard.
"Mu En, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion in the Inner Academy, Level 99 Limit Douluo."
Dai Huabin held up one finger.
Ice Empress's expression froze for a moment.
Level 99 Limit Douluo.
There aren't many Soul Beasts that can reach this level.
Even at her peak in the Far North, she was only level 99, and that was only with the advantage of the terrain.
In the human world, her strength would be diminished.
Ice Empress gave a soft snort and didn't reply.
Snow Empress spoke from the window, her voice calm. "Bing'er, we came to Shrek to familiarize ourselves with the human world. Don't make things difficult for Huabin, understand?"
Ice Empress turned her head and glanced at Snow Empress. Their old friendship was there for all to see, and Snow Empress's words carried more weight than Dai Huabin's.
"Alright." Ice Empress shrugged. "We'll do as Huabin says."
Just as Dai Huabin was about to say something, he suddenly heard a knock on the door next door.
"Knock knock knock."
Three taps, neither too light nor too heavy.
All four of them turned to look at the wall. It was the door to Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's dormitory.
Dai Huabin walked out of the dormitories of Ice Empress and Snow Empress, turned a corner in the corridor, and arrived at his own room.
A young girl was standing outside the door.
Her long, light blue hair cascaded over her shoulders, framing her fair face, which was so delicate it seemed unreal.
She was wearing a yellow Shrek Outer Court uniform, one hand raised, still in the gesture of knocking on the door.
It was Wang Dong'er.
She was frowning as she stared at the closed door, wondering to herself, "It's the first day of school, Huabin still hasn't come back?"
She had just arrived at the school and had finally finished her work when she thought of asking Dai Huabin about the arrangements for the new semester.
After all, ever since that Freshman Assessment, she had always wanted to defeat Dai Huabin.
She spent the entire holiday training diligently within her family, all so that she could practice with Dai Huabin again upon her return.
After knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered.
Just as Wang Dong'er was about to give up, the door to the next room suddenly opened.
Dai Huabin came out from inside.
"Dong'er? What's wrong?"
Wang Dong'er turned around, about to speak, but the words caught in her throat.
Because three more people walked out from behind Dai Huabin.
The first one is Zhu Lu, her best friend.
The second one was a young girl with bright green twin ponytails, who looked quite young. She wore a white and green dress and had sharp, orange-gold eyes.
The girl glanced at Wang Dong'er, snorted, and crossed her arms.
The third one?
Wang Dong'er's breathing almost stopped.
With long, flowing white hair, clear sky-blue eyes, and skin so fair it seemed to glow, she wore a white dress and looked as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Wang Dong'er believed she had seen many beauties.
She herself was beautiful, and her roommate Cui Yajie was even more alluring with the aid of the Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul, but the appearance and temperament of the woman in white in front of her were on a completely different level.
Wang Dong'er's mind raced for a few moments before she came to a conclusion.
Her fingers trembled as she pointed at Ice Empress and Snow Empress, her voice cracking.
"You! You! You! You've got two more girlfriends now?"
The corridor fell silent for a moment.
Ice Empress looked down at herself, then at Snow Empress, and finally at Dai Huabin, her expression subtle.
A thin blush quickly crept onto Snow Empress's earlobes, and she turned her face away without saying a word.
Zhu Lu covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling slightly; she was trying to suppress a laugh.
Dai Huabin opened his mouth, but before he could explain, two more voices sounded behind Wang Dong'er.
"What? Who got a girlfriend?"
"I heard it! I heard it! Let me see!"
Behind Wang Dong'er were Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie.
Xiao Xiao is petite and has a delicate and pretty appearance. She wears her hair in a ponytail and her round eyes are full of gossip.
Cui Yajie stood next to Xiao Xiao.
Her long pink hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and the alluring aura bestowed by her Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul made her exude charm even when she was just standing still.
She glanced at the scene in the corridor, her gaze lingering on Ice Empress and Snow Empress for two seconds each, before raising an eyebrow.
"Oh."
Cui Yajie's voice was languid.
"Class monitor, you had quite an exciting holiday! One, two... plus Lulu, that makes three girlfriends?"
Xiao Xiao moved closer to Wang Dong'er, tugged at her sleeve, and whispered:
"Dong'er, what's going on?"
Wang Dong'er didn't answer her, and continued to stare at Dai Huabin.
