The situation naturally piqued the curiosity of the students nearby. They all looked over, wanting to know who was so loaded that he'd bought out all the Grade A Meals!
With Cheng Duoyi's help, Tang Wuling had grown less shy, but she still couldn't help blushing.
Tang Wuling lowered her head. "Brother Yi'er, am I eating too much...?"
Cheng Duoyi took her hand. "Don't be silly. Eating well is a blessing!"
Cheng Duoyi's words instantly restored Tang Wuling's spirits.
"That's right. It's a good thing I can eat so much. They're just jealous because they can't!"
After getting their food, the three of them carried their trays to a quiet spot and sat down. Tang Wuling could hardly wait to dig in. She polished off one serving in no time, astonishing the chef at the Grade A Meal counter not far away.
"I've seen everything now. I can't believe this year's new girl can eat so much. I'll have to prepare more ingredients from now on."
That was right.
Cheng Duoyi had bought out all the Grade A Meals.
Since so few people ate Grade A Meals, the kitchen only prepared a small amount. The chef hadn't expected to encounter such a big eater. If he didn't prepare more, the others probably wouldn't get any!
Watching Tang Wuling effortlessly finish three servings, Leng Xue'er couldn't help marveling at Cheng Duoyi's good luck. He'd gone out to have fun and met two exceptionally talented girls, and the two of them got along well, too.
Leng Xue'er liked Tang Wuling quite a bit as well. After all, Tang Wuling treated Cheng Duoyi so well that Leng Xue'er could never dislike her.
Besides, she had some guesses about Tang Wuling's situation. Perhaps she had a powerful bloodline; otherwise, she couldn't possibly eat so much.
Tang Wuling had eaten the equivalent of five servings. Seeing that Cheng Duoyi had only finished a small portion of his, she couldn't help asking, "Brother Yi'er, I can eat a lot now. Am I going to eat you out of house and home?"
"How could you?" Cheng Duoyi didn't have a big appetite. "If you could eat even more, I'd only be happy. I have plenty of Federation Coins. You could eat like this every day for the rest of your life and still not spend them all."
"Hmph, you're lying. How could I eat for the rest of my life without spending it all?" Tang Wuling said, unconvinced.
Cheng Duoyi just smiled without answering.
Leng Xue'er, however, understood what he meant.
After the three of them finished eating, Cheng Duoyi and Leng Xue'er walked Tang Wuling back to the girls' dormitory. Leng Xue'er watched Cheng Duoyi enter the boys' dormitory before leaving.
Cheng Duoyi found that the dormitory had already been repaired.
He had to admit, the academy's repairs were incredibly fast.
Xie Xie was sitting on the lower bunk to the right, unconsciously glancing toward the door. When he saw Cheng Duoyi walk in, he froze on the spot.
His Martial Souls were the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger, and he also had a faint trace of Dragon Clan blood in his body. At that moment, Cheng Duoyi seemed to him like an irresistible force of nature.
The aura Cheng Duoyi gave off fascinated him even more, making him want to stay by Cheng Duoyi's side forever.
What he found hardest to accept was that the blood in his body was cheering, while the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger seemed to be calling out.
"Something's wrong! One hundred percent wrong!"
Xie Xie suppressed the yearning in his heart, rose from the bed, and looked up at Yun Xiao on the top bunk.
"Phew, thank goodness. I've only developed some strange feelings for this new student. It doesn't mean I like boys. I'm still straight, not gay."
Xie Xie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait, this doesn't make sense! How could this person attract me? Could this be love at first sight? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I can't like boys. I like girls!"
Xie Xie's thoughts were all over the place, and he began to question his sexuality. It never occurred to him that the problem might be Cheng Duoyi's aura.
"Hello, I'm Cheng Duoyi. We'll be roommates from now on."
Cheng Duoyi came up to Xie Xie and suddenly felt the blood in his body boiling and his Martial Souls stirring with excitement. His face flushed, and he could barely speak clearly.
"Y-you... hello. My name is... Xie Xie."
Xie Xie stammered.
Yun Xiao, on the top bunk, felt his heart leap into his throat.
Other people might not know Cheng Duoyi's situation, but how could he not?
He was a veritable human-shaped Ferocious Beast!
One punch had broken Zhou Changxi's ribs and left him unconscious. Who else their age could do that?
"This isn't right. By all rights, Cheng Duoyi shouldn't be this easygoing. Could Zhou Changxi have provoked him with what he said, and Cheng Duoyi is usually a pretty easygoing person?" Yun Xiao wondered.
"That's it. Cheng Duoyi's background is unfathomable. His older sister alone is an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo. Her Battle Armor can be summoned and dismissed in an instant, and it must be at least Two-Word Battle Armor. Her Spirit Ring configuration is even more outrageous: six black and two red, and one of them must be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit."
"If Zhou Changxi hadn't run his mouth, Cheng Duoyi definitely wouldn't have beaten him up."
"Besides... so far, no one has spread anything about Cheng Duoyi or his sister's background."
Once Yun Xiao had figured it out, he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped worrying.
He'd really been afraid Cheng Duoyi was a ruthless sort who bullied others on a whim.
"My name is Yun Xiao. I look forward to getting along with you."
Yun Xiao didn't know what was going on, but there was certainly no harm in saying hello. He climbed down from his bunk as he spoke.
Cheng Duoyi nodded. "We've already met."
Yun Xiao lowered his head awkwardly, not daring to look at Cheng Duoyi.
"I like making friends. Here's a gift for you both."
Cheng Duoyi handed each of them a gold-colored card. The two of them took the cards and were astonished.
"Is this... an entry card to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform? You're just giving it to me?" Yun Xiao exclaimed.
Xie Xie knew even better how valuable an entry card to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform was. "I heard the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform only opens a thousand spots each month. They're practically priceless, and the various factions reserve them in advance. On top of that, it costs five hundred thousand Federation Coins to enter."
"This is far too valuable. I can't accept it."
Xie Xie tried to return the entry card to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
Yun Xiao came to his senses and did the same.
"I appreciate the thought, but I can't accept it either. This is far too valuable."
Cheng Duoyi spread his hands. A stack of entry cards to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform appeared in his palms, leaving the two of them dumbfounded.
What kind of family was this?!
How could he have so many entry cards to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform?
Godmother?
Ask her if she needs another godson!
I can do it too!
Yun Xiao couldn't help marveling to himself.
Now it all made sense. How else could an ordinary person have a Spirit Ring configuration of six black and two red?
"Is it really that valuable? My godmother gave me a lot."
"She said I should make more friends when I'm away from home."
"I gave them to you because I consider you friends. Don't you want to be my friends?"
Because of the Dragon God's Wife, Cheng Duoyi was constantly absorbing her vitality, so his complexion was a little pale. As he spoke, his voice carried a peculiar kind of magic that the two of them couldn't resist.
They didn't think Cheng Duoyi was showing off his wealth, and he didn't seem to look down on them either. He seemed more like a foolish young master with money to burn.
After all, when a young master gives you something valuable, what can you say?
We have to do what's right and follow our conscience!
