Discovering Wang Dong's True Gender

After resolving the trouble with Ma Xiaotao, Chu Feng checked the time. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, still class time, with the bell not ringing until four-thirty.

The rules and regulations at Shrek were quite strict; getting caught skipping class would certainly result in punishment.

However, Chu Feng had a good relationship with his homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, so even though he had been caught by academy instructors twice, Mu Jin had stepped in to resolve both incidents, leaving him unscathed.

Chu Feng returned to the dormitory building, intending to cultivate for a short while, expecting Wang Dong to bring him dinner after class.

This life of being waited on hand and foot was truly pleasant. It was a pity that Wang Dong was a girl disguised as a boy, and he hadn't found a suitable opportunity to expose her. Otherwise, he would definitely make Wang Dong wear a white silk maid outfit to wash his clothes and cook for him every day; that was the life a man ought to have.

Arriving at the door of Dormitory 108, Chu Feng used his spiritual power to quickly unlock the door and stepped inside.

However, once he entered, he realized something was wrong.

A faint sound of splashing water drifted from the room. Looking up, he saw that the makeshift curtain Wang Dong had fashioned on the balcony had been drawn, revealing a small portion of a wooden bathtub. On the edge of the tub sat a few strange items—they looked somewhat like eye masks, and they were pink.

Through the slightly dampened curtain, he could see a graceful figure...

"Who is it!!"

Wang Dong, having sensed someone barging in immediately, was struck with panic.

"It's me."

"I say, Wang Dong, aren't you supposed to be in class? Why did you sneak back to the dorm to take a bath?"

"You're skipping class, you know. Do you believe I'll report you?"

Chu Feng pretended that nothing was amiss, speaking half-jokingly.

Inside, however, he was somewhat surprised. It seemed Wang Dong was hitting puberty and had finally started using these things. He wondered where she had bought them...

Wait, could it be that she hadn't been wearing them before?

Chu Feng blinked, his imagination running wild.

After all, for a man, seeing an object reminds one of the person; it was only natural.

"You... weren't you at the Soul Engineering Department? Why are you back so early today!" Wang Dong swiped her undergarments away with lightning speed, her hand movements nearly reaching the speed of light.

Chu Feng had been returning very late these past few days with a very regular schedule, which was why she chose to slip away early every day to take a bath before preparing dinner for him.

Teacher Mu Jin was very kind to her and didn't pry much.

But she hadn't expected Chu Feng to break his routine today, and to enter without even knocking—this jerk...

He shouldn't have seen anything just now... He definitely didn't see... He must not have seen... Wang Dong gritted her teeth, though she felt more anxious than anything else.

She had previously suspected Chu Feng of peeking at her while she bathed and even suspected that he had discovered her true gender, but after a few shameful tests, she concluded she had just been overthinking it.

She figured Chu Feng truly hadn't discovered anything, and he shouldn't be paying too much attention this time either... Wang Dong continued to comfort herself.

"Oh, I was in a good mood today. I sparred with a beautiful senior in the training room and got a bit tired, so I came back early." Chu Feng nodded and immediately climbed onto his bed to cultivate.

"A beautiful senior? Who is she? How beautiful is she?"

Wang Dong asked subconsciously. She didn't know why, but hearing that Chu Feng had been chatting up a beautiful senior made her feel quite uncomfortable.

"What's it to you? I called dibs on that senior first; you can't fight me for her, Wang Dong." Chu Feng raised an eyebrow, acting agitated on the spot.

"Who wants to fight you for her? I'm just..." Wang Dong blushed upon hearing this, but not knowing how to retort, she simply stopped talking.

Soon enough.

Wang Dong finished her bath and got dressed, her school uniform neat and tidy. Her powder-blue short hair was still damp, and her exquisite face was noticeably flushed, making her look exactly like a wild little "shota."

If some of the seniors in the academy saw Wang Dong looking like this, they would likely want nothing more than to tuck her into bed and shower her with kisses.

She was a heartthrob for both genders.

"What did you see just now!!"

"Do you know how impolite it is to enter a dormitory without knocking!"

Seeing Chu Feng still cultivating, Wang Dong felt a surge of anger. She ran over, grabbed Chu Feng by the collar, and asked with a flushed face and a furious expression.

Clearly, she had been blinded by rage and had forgotten her role as his "little brother."

"What could I possibly see? We're both men; what's there to look at?" Chu Feng shrugged, pretending nothing had happened.

"Really?" Wang Dong's tone was hollow, her heart pounding in her chest with anxiety.

"Really, absolutely true~" Chu Feng nodded.

"Phew..."

Seeing that Chu Feng didn't seem to be lying, Wang Dong breathed a secret sigh of relief.

"By the way, Wang Dong, I have an immature suggestion. Do you want to hear it?" Chu Feng asked, looking at Wang Dong with a smile.

"What suggestion?"

Wang Dong asked casually.

"I said a suggestion, just a suggestion~" Chu Feng emphasized, laughing: "I think it's not very appropriate for you to wear your school uniform inside the dorm. If you could wear a pink maid outfit in the future, I imagine it would look much better~"

By saying this, Chu Feng had essentially laid everything out on the table.

After all, since Wang Dong had already started to suspect him, it wouldn't be appropriate to just be "brothers" in the future; being a wife would be a much better arrangement.

"What... what kind of maid?"

Wang Dong's mind went completely blank in that instant, as if a membrane had suddenly been pierced, catching her off guard.

"The kind of maid, you know, the pink ones who wear white silk stockings and call people Master~" Chu Feng continued to watch Wang Dong with a beaming smile.

Upon seeing that smiling face, Wang Dong finally snapped back to reality.

"When... when did you start suspecting?" Wang Dong stared straight at Chu Feng, her delicate body trembling slightly; she wanted an answer.

Judging by Chu Feng's expression, it was impossible for him to have confirmed it just from that fleeting glance; he must have been suspicious for a long time, and seeing her just now... had likely confirmed his theory.

That was what Wang Dong thought.

However, Chu Feng's next sentence caused Wang Dong to completely break down.

"I knew the very first time I saw you," Chu Feng said without the slightest hesitation.

"What!!!"

Hearing this, Wang Dong forgot to disguise her voice, which turned somewhat shrill.

"You knew from the start... you knew from the start..." Wang Dong muttered, dazed.

In other words, Chu Feng had known she was a girl since the start of the school term, and everything that happened before—taking her in as his lackey, making her do the laundry, cook, and clean, and also...

It was all intentional on Chu Feng's part!!

"Ahhhhhhh—"

"Chu Feng, I'm going to kill you!!!!!"

Wang Dong completely snapped, tackling Chu Feng onto the bed and gripping his throat with both hands.

"Stop messing around. I take back what I said; I didn't discover anything..." Chu Feng reached out and pressed his hand against Wang Dong's face, finding it somewhat amusing.

There was no helping it; he had seen everything just now, and it would have been impolite not to come clean.

"Awoo!!!"

Wang Dong didn't care about that anymore; she opened her small mouth and bit down hard on Chu Feng's wrist.

"Hiss~"

"I give up. Why do girls all like to bite people? Even if biting is a technical skill, shouldn't you avoid my arm?" Chu Feng was speechless; being bitten twice in the same day felt terrible.

Seeing that he couldn't pull his hand away, Chu Feng simply ignored it; it didn't hurt anyway.

However, with Wang Dong sprawled across his body, and the fact that she had just finished bathing, a faint, delicate fragrance rushed straight to his nose, causing his heart to stir slightly.
