Yu Xiaogang might have been weak, but he was still the young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Tang San needed to rely on him to make connections with Shrek Academy.
As for Yu Xiaogang's claim that Fu Qin also had Twin Martial Souls, Tang San didn't believe it at all. If Fu Qin really had Twin Martial Souls, it would have been exposed when he awakened his Martial Soul.
But now, with Tang San in control here, even if Fu Qin really did have Twin Martial Souls, he couldn't stir up any trouble.
Once he had thought it through, Tang San immediately put on a respectful expression.
"Your disciple, Tang San, pays his respects to Master!"
"Good! Good!"
Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and hurriedly helped Tang San to his feet.
"From today on, you're my disciple. I'll pass on everything I've learned in my life to you!"
Hearing this, Fu Qin knew it was time to leave.
He turned and headed toward the dormitory area. Following the teacher's directions, he found Dorm Seven.
Dorm Seven was the work-study students' dormitory, and several children were already inside.
As soon as Fu Qin walked in, he saw a little girl in pink with a ponytail sitting on a bed, her bright, lively eyes curiously sizing him up.
[Name: Xiao Wu (God King Reincarnated) True Age: 150,006 years old Current Age: 6 years old Soul Power: Level 10 (Innate Full Soul Power) Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit Constitution: Soft Bone Rabbit Royal Bloodline (Awakened) Identity: Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, Tang San's wife in her previous life, reincarnated Favorability: 10 (attracted by his appearance)]
Fu Qin's heart jolted. Xiao Wu was a God King reincarnated too?
No wonder the panel showed her true age as a hundred thousand years older than the reincarnated Tang San.
But those legs are so fair. It'd be nice to give them a feel and see how they are.
He thought this to himself.
But he soon composed himself. With his buff in effect, even if Xiao Wu was reincarnated, she wouldn't have much of an impact on him.
"Who are you? Are you a work-study student here for Dorm Seven too?"
Xiao Wu's voice was clear and sweet, tinged with curiosity.
Fu Qin gave her a cute smile and nodded.
"Yeah, my name's Fu Qin. My Martial Soul is a Silver Glove. I'm an auxiliary-type Soul Master, and I have Innate Full Soul Power too."
[Intelligence-Reducing Halo activated. Xiao Wu's trust in "Fu Qin is a pure auxiliary-type Soul Master" increased to 80%.] [Fate Arises and Fades buff activated (favorability from the opposite sex doubled). Xiao Wu's favorability +20]
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise:
"You have Innate Full Soul Power too? And you're an auxiliary type? That's amazing!"
Looking at Fu Qin's cute, handsome face, Xiao Wu felt inexplicably fond of him. With the buff's effect on top of that, her favorability toward him soared.
"But auxiliary-type Soul Masters can get bullied easily at the academy. Why don't you become my underling?"
Xiao Wu patted her chest and declared proudly:
"I'll protect you. No one will dare bully you from now on!"
Fu Qin was taken aback.
He hadn't expected Xiao Wu, despite being reincarnated with the memories of her previous life, to make such an invitation to a boy.
It seemed she wasn't blindly obedient and loyal to Tang San after all.
Soon,
he pretended to be overwhelmed with gratitude and bowed.
"Greetings, Boss! From now on, wherever you point, I'll charge. Your underling won't hesitate for a second!"
[Xiao Wu's favorability +10] [Thoughts: This little brother is so cute. He's not only an auxiliary-type Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power, he's so obedient too. What a great deal!]
"Haha, what a good underling!"
Xiao Wu laughed happily, revealing two little tiger teeth. She looked especially adorable.
She glanced at Fu Qin's empty hands, then at the threadbare bedding on her own bed, and frowned.
"Why didn't you bring any bedding? The bedding at the academy is thin and hard. It's uncomfortable to sleep on."
Fu Qin had thought of that already. He pulled a few gold coins out of his pocket and jingled them.
"Boss, I have money! I'll buy you a new set of bedding, then get another set for myself. That way, we can sleep comfortably from now on!"
Old Jack's allowance wasn't much, but over the past two years, Fu Qin's God-Level Luck had helped him find plenty of valuable things around the village. He'd sold them for quite a few gold coins, enough to cover his expenses at the academy.
"Really?"
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled. Though she'd returned from the future, her body was still that of a child, and she certainly wasn't going to turn down comfortable bedding.
Of course,
in this life, she wasn't going to let her Third Brother win her over so easily.
"Great! Let's go buy some now!"
"Sure thing, Boss!"
Fu Qin cheerfully agreed and followed Xiao Wu out of Dorm Seven.
However,
not long after they left, Tang San arrived at Dorm Seven.
Wang Sheng, whom Xiao Wu had already beaten into submission, immediately stood up when he saw Tang San. He said arrogantly:
"New here? Do you know the rules of Dorm Seven? If you want to live here, you have to beat me!"
Tang San's gaze was indifferent. He already knew the rules of Dorm Seven, and he knew how strong Wang Sheng was. He didn't take a Soul Scholar without even a Soul Ring seriously.
"Come at me."
Tang San's voice held not a trace of emotion.
Seeing him act so arrogantly, Wang Sheng flew into a rage. He used Martial Soul Possession, his hands turning into hard tiger claws, and swung them at Tang San.
"Take this!"
Tang San's figure blurred, and he easily dodged Wang Sheng's attack.
He didn't use his Martial Soul, relying only on Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and the Tang Sect's techniques to circle around Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng's attacks were fierce, but he couldn't even touch the hem of Tang San's clothes.
"How is this possible?"
Wang Sheng stared in disbelief. His attacks were clearly precise, yet they always fell just short.
Tang San seized an opening and punched Wang Sheng in the chest.
Wang Sheng cried out and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground. He couldn't get back up for a long while.
"Do you submit?"
Tang San looked down at him.
"I submit... I submit..."
Wang Sheng hurriedly nodded. He knew he was no match for him.
A quarter of an hour later,
Xiao Wu and Fu Qin's voices came from the doorway.
"Sister Xiao Wu, what do you think of this bedding? It's so soft and comfortable!"
"Not bad, not bad. We'll buy this one!"
Tang San and Wang Sheng looked toward the doorway and saw Xiao Wu and Fu Qin walk in carrying two brand-new sets of bedding.
The moment Tang San and Xiao Wu's eyes met, they both froze.
Tang San saw delight and surprise in her eyes. He understood at once: Xiao Wu had been reincarnated too!
Xiao Wu saw the same emotions in Tang San's eyes, and her heart gave a sudden leap as memories of her previous life surged through her mind.
She hadn't expected Tang San to have been reincarnated too!
[Tang San's thoughts: Xiao Wu was reincarnated too? Wonderful! In this life, I'll never let her suffer again! But... Fu Qin... He's with Xiao Wu, and he's even become her underling?] [Xiao Wu's thoughts: Third Brother was reincarnated too! Wonderful! But why does he look a little unhappy? Is it because of Fu Qin?]
Tang San's gaze fell on Fu Qin, and a trace of jealousy flickered in his eyes.
He hadn't expected Fu Qin to hit it off with Xiao Wu and become her underling in the short time Tang San had been gone.
Though he knew Fu Qin was an auxiliary-type Soul Master and posed no threat to him, seeing Xiao Wu treat Fu Qin so well still made him uncomfortable.
[Tang San's favorability toward Fu Qin -5 (76)] [Thoughts: I'll have to keep a closer eye on Fu Qin from now on. I can't let him steal Xiao Wu's attention.]
