(Tang Ya beautiful picture)
Lin Ye did not know that a line of small text was slowly emerging on Tang Ya's system screen:
[The fated person automatically receives the main quest: Have many children and many blessings with your exclusive fated person to receive generous rewards!]
[When you encounter your exclusive fated person, the system panel will mark them with a peach heart!]
Tang Ya's face turned red in a "whoosh."
Ma-many children and many blessings?
She subconsciously looked up, glancing in the direction Beibei had fled.
Above his head, it was empty.
There was no peach heart.
Tang Ya froze for a second, unable to tell if she felt relieved or a little disappointed.
Then who... could my exclusive fated person be?
Do I really have to have many children and many blessings to get rewards...
While she was lost in her wild thoughts, the system panel popped up again:
[Ding--]
[Obtained B-rank quest: Take a new student to the dormitory building and help them tidy up their room!]
[Quest time limit: One hour!]
[Quest completion reward: Martial Soul evolution!]
[Quest failure penalty: Martial Soul regression!]
Tang Ya: "???!!!"
Martial Soul evolution?!?!?!
Just by showing someone the way and tidying up?
She looked up at the sky and pressed her palms together.
Oh heavens, thank you so much!
I will cherish this quest!
The gloom from just a moment ago was swept away, and her entire demeanor brightened.
Behind her, Lin Ye looked at the feedback message on his system panel and nodded with satisfaction.
Arranging a simple quest for Tang Ya meant she could help anyone.
As long as he could obtain rewards and points, it didn't matter.
Just as he was thinking this, two golden lights exploded in his sea of consciousness:
[System binding to Beibei and Tang Ya successful. Obtained magical treasures: Universe Ring, Red Armillary Sash!]
Lin Ye's eyes lit up.
Two more items?
Brother System, your reward mechanism is truly conscientious!
Tang Ya, on the other hand, had already started to ponder.
Which new student should she help?
Huo Yuhao?
She shook her head.
Forget it, that guy is a bit of a weirdo.
Better to pick a normal person.
Tang Ya looked left and right, wanting to find a female new student to target.
As she turned around, a peach heart suddenly appeared on her system panel.
It floated steadily above the head of a young man.
Tang Ya's face turned red in a "whoosh."
He is my fated person?!
She looked closely.
The young man had fair skin and delicate features, making him stand out in the crowd.
This was also related to Lin Ye having a Lotus Root Martial Soul.
He's actually quite handsome...
No, the system has already marked him, I must take the initiative!
I'll help him clean his dormitory!
Lin Ye was walking forward, preparing to pass by Tang Ya.
Tang Ya shifted one step to the left, blocking his path.
Lin Ye shifted one step to the right, and Tang Ya followed him to the right.
Lin Ye looked up, only then noticing that she was staring at him.
She was within arm's reach.
Her phoenix eyes were bright and spirited.
She had a pert, slender nose and a perfect oval face.
Her delicate features still carried a hint of shyness.
"Endowed with the beauty of nature"—that was exactly the kind of girl she was.
Lin Ye: "Classmate, what are you..."
Tang Ya cleared her throat: "Um, hello, junior! I am... a volunteer senior here to help you! Let me take you to the dormitory!"
Lin Ye smiled: "So that's it. Thank you, senior."
Tang Ya: "Follow me."
The two walked side by side.
Tang Ya: "My name is Tang Ya. What's yours?"
Lin Ye: "Senior Xiaoya, my name is Lin Ye."
Tang Ya: "Lin Ye... Little Ye, the dormitory is behind the teaching building. That building, the largest one in the entire academy, is it. I'll take you there."
Tang Ya was truly an extrovert; having fabricated a volunteer identity, she became familiar with Lin Ye in just a few sentences.
The two walked up to the bulletin board.
It read: Class 1 Freshman Head Teacher Zhou Yi, Class 2 Freshman Head Teacher...
Because Lin Ye and Huo Yuhao had registered early, they were both assigned to Class 1.
Tang Ya whispered in surprise: "Ah? How is it that perverted old spinster Zhou Yi? Isn't she teaching the third years? Why was she assigned to the freshmen? Little Ye, you'd better be careful."
Lin Ye said calmly: "Senior Xiaoya, it doesn't matter. As long as I do my best, I won't fear any training or assessments."
Tang Ya looked at his handsome profile and nodded inwardly.
As expected of the one fated to be with me, he has spirit!
"Let's go, the dormitory building is just past the freshman teaching building."
"Alright."
Passing between the white freshman teaching building and the yellow second and third-year teaching buildings, they arrived at the dormitory.
Lin Ye looked up.
Good grief, this wasn't just a dormitory; it looked like a small castle.
The building was massive, with white, yellow, purple, and black sections clearly demarcated, making it easy to see at a glance where students of different grades lived.
It had six floors in total.
Tang Ya introduced from the side: "The first to third floors are the boys' dorms, and the fourth to sixth are the girls' dorms. Where is your key? Let me see which room you're in."
Lin Ye took out the key and handed it over.
Tang Ya reached out to take it, and as her fingertips touched the key, their fingers brushed against each other.
Tang Ya felt as if she had been shocked by electricity, and her face turned red in an instant.
She hurriedly looked down at the key, her voice dropping a few decibels: "Room... Room 108..."
"Let's go, I'll see you in."
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment: "Senior Xiaoya, seeing me to the door is enough. I can go in by myself just fine."
"How could that be!"
Tang Ya thought to herself, I still have a mission to complete; how can I help you tidy up if I don't go inside?
She lifted her feet and walked inside, her pace quick.
In front of the dormitory entrance, Lin Ye saw an old man half-lying by the door.
Tang Ya paid no attention to the old man and walked straight into the dormitory building.
In reality, this old man, who looked as if he were on the verge of death, was the highest combat power of Shrek Academy, the head of the Shrek decision-making group, and the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En, known as the Dragon God Douluo.
Of course, Lin Ye knew that some people at Shrek Academy touted justice on the surface while being full of filth behind the scenes.
Like Mu En, who was not only jokingly called the "Feeding Douluo," but also maliciously toyed with the emotions of men and women, used favors to demand repayment, forced Zhang Lexuan to be a child bride, and spread rumors about his own sworn brother...
Lin Ye didn't have a particularly good impression of him, so he couldn't be bothered to follow Huo Yuhao's lead and strike up a conversation.
He took two quick steps into the building and whispered a reminder behind Tang Ya: "Senior Xiaoya... this is the boys' dormitory."
Tang Ya turned back and stuck her tongue out at him: "If you don't say anything, no one will know~"
After saying that, she added, "But don't you dare go into the girls' dormitory. If you're caught, you'll be expelled immediately. No one will be able to save you."
Lin Ye spread his hands and followed her, feeling helpless.
Fine, whatever you say.
Walking into the dormitory building, a scent mixed with soap, wood, and the passage of time rushed to meet them.
The hallway wasn't particularly wide, with rows of tightly shut wooden doors on both sides, each labeled with a room number.
There weren't many people in the corridor at the moment, as most of the new students hadn't arrived yet.
Tang Ya walked in front, not looking the least bit like someone sneaking into a boys' dormitory; instead, she strutted along as if she owned the place.
Lin Ye followed behind, feeling a lingering sense of guilt.
Stopping in front of room 108, Tang Ya halted. "We're here. Open the door."
Lin Ye took out his key and unlocked it.
As the door pushed open, a wave of stale, trapped air rushed out.
The room was completely empty, with two wooden beds against the walls, a desk, two tin wardrobes, and windows shut tight, covered in a layer of dust.
Tang Ya wrinkled her nose. "It's a bit dirty, but don't worry, Senior Sister will help you clean it up!"
With that, she rolled up her sleeves and marched inside.
Lin Ye hurriedly stopped her. "No, no, Sister Xiaoya, I can do it myself. I couldn't possibly let you do the work."
Tang Ya replied, "I said I'd help you, so I'm helping you. Just stand to the side and wait!"
She was secretly delighted, calculating in her mind: once the cleaning was done, her reward would arrive—the evolution of her martial soul!
Lin Ye: "..."
Tang Ya threw herself into the work with a whirlwind of energy.
Sweeping, wiping the desk, cleaning the windows—her movements were incredibly efficient.
However, with less than an hour left on the clock, Tang Ya began to grow anxious.
After sweeping the floor, she stuck her pert little bottom in the air and started mopping.
The floor was soon covered in a thick, white layer of soapy foam.
"Xiaoye, move, move, get out of the way!"
Tang Ya mopped frantically; when Lin Ye stood to the left, she mopped the left, and when he moved to the right, she mopped the right. He felt like he was in the way no matter where he stood.
Tang Ya was mopping too quickly, and the floor was so slippery it was like a mirror...
Her foot slipped, and she pitched forward!
"Sister Xiaoya!"
Lin Ye was quick-witted and reached out to catch her.
But Tang Ya's momentum was too great, and she ended up dragging him down with her!
With a thud, the two of them crashed to the floor.
Tang Ya landed squarely on top of Lin Ye.
And as luck would have it!
