"By yourself?" Wang Dong'er's voice rose a notch, causing a few students ahead to turn and glance at her.

"Are you sure you don't need a teacher to accompany you? I can pay for it for you!"

She assumed Lin Ye was just reluctant to spend the money.

Lin Ye knew she meant well and felt a warmth in his heart, but he still declined: "No need, Dong'er. A senior from the Inner Court is coming with me."

"Huh?" Wang Dong'er's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. Like a vinegar jar that had been knocked over, she instantly grew alert.

"Another senior from the Inner Court? You kid—"

She was currently dressed in male attire, her powder-blue short hair looking crisp and neat, and her school uniform worn perfectly.

Yet, those beautiful, large eyes were now wide open, radiating a hint of "murderous intent."

She grabbed Lin Ye's arm, leaned in close, and lowered her voice to ask: "Tell me, what is your relationship with that senior?"

Lin Ye winced from the pinch, waving his hands repeatedly:

"It's nothing, really... just ordinary friends. The senior is just warm-hearted and willing to help, that's all."

"I can help you hunt for a soul ring!" Wang Dong'er refused to let go, her tone as firm as if she were taking an oath. "I don't care, I'm going with you!"

She had her own confidence.

Beyond the Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial soul she displayed on the surface, she possessed a second martial soul—the Clear Sky Hammer.

That was the number one tool martial soul in the world.

As long as she had the Clear Sky Hammer in hand, she was absolutely confident that she could help Lin Ye hunt for a soul ring of sufficient age.

As the two were tugging at each other, a petite figure came jogging over from behind.

Two green braids swayed behind her; it was Xiao Xiao.

She ran up to Lin Ye, slightly out of breath. Her delicate, pretty face held a trace of hesitation, and she bit her lip, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

"Lin Ye, are you going to obtain your second soul ring? That... I..."

Her gaze shifted back and forth between Lin Ye and Wang Dong'er, as if she were making a major decision.

Lin Ye sensed her embarrassment and smiled slightly, his tone gentle: "It's fine, Wang Dong is one of us. The three of us are friends, so just say what's on your mind."

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, as if gathering all her courage, and whispered: "I want to go too... I want to attach a soul ring to my second martial soul!"

Wang Dong'er's hand, which was still pinching Lin Ye's arm, froze, and her eyes widened even further.

"What? You are—"

Realizing her voice was a bit loud and that several surrounding students were looking over with curiosity, she quickly lowered her voice, leaned in toward Xiao Xiao, and asked in disbelief: "You're a twin martial soul user?!"

Wang Dong'er hadn't expected that Xiao Xiao was also a twin martial soul user!

On the Douluo Continent, the rarity of twin martial souls was even greater than that of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

Among the thousands of students at Shrek Academy, those possessing twin martial souls could likely be counted on one hand.

Xiao Xiao lowered her head and gave a soft "mm," her hands twisting together, clearly quite nervous.

Lin Ye, however, maintained his usual expression.

He had known this all along.

He just hadn't expected that even with the pressure Zhou Yi, that old hag, put on the students every day, Xiao Xiao still wanted to obtain a soul ring for her second martial soul ahead of time.

Lin Ye frowned and said sternly: "Xiao Xiao, it's best to wait until your level is high enough to attach a high-age soul ring for your second martial soul.

You're only at level twenty-something right now; even if you attach a soul ring, it can only be of the century-level, which would be a waste of your second martial soul's potential."

Xiao Xiao looked up, her eyes filled with a touch of stubbornness and unease: "But... the freshman assessment is coming up soon, and I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Lin Ye raised his hand and patted her head gently. "With Wang Dong and me here, are you still afraid you won't pass the assessment?"

Xiao Xiao's face turned red again, and she obediently lowered her head, saying nothing more.

Wang Dong'er stood to the side, watching Lin Ye pat Xiao Xiao's head. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her hand on Lin Ye's arm tightened even more.

The force increased by a full thirty percent compared to before.

Lin Ye felt the pain, grimacing as he turned to look at her, his eyes filled with innocence.

Wang Dong'er didn't look at him, however, but turned toward Xiao Xiao, her expression instantly switching from "fierce and menacing" to "kind and amiable."

"Xiao Xiao, don't worry." She patted her own chest, her tone filled with bravado. "When the time comes, the three of us will team up, and b... brother will help you fly!"

She had almost blurted out "sister will help you fly," but fortunately, she reacted quickly and forced a turn, changing it to "brother."

Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong's impossibly handsome face and nodded, her heart skipping a beat for no reason.

However... compared to her own fondness for Lin Ye and Wang Dong, she seemed to prefer watching the intimate interactions between the two of them.

The two of them standing together was just too easy to ship...

Images of an indescribable nature began to surface in Xiao Xiao's mind. Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at the two handsome guys anymore.

Lin Ye spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

He always felt that the way Xiao Xiao looked at him and Wang Dong'er was a bit off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Wang Dong'er couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath on him; she grabbed his sleeve and dragged him forward.

"Let's go, let's go. If we dawdle any longer, the cafeteria will be out of food."

Lin Ye stumbled two steps as she yanked him along, barely managing to steady himself before turning back to wave at Xiao Xiao. "See you later, Xiao Xiao."

Xiao Xiao stood where she was, watching their bickering figures recede into the distance, her hands trembling with excitement.

Two handsome guys were going to team up with her!

She was going to faint from happiness!

And they were even roommates!

So, would that mean...

Xiao Xiao's mind began to uncontrollably conjure up all sorts of indescribable images.

Their daily life in the dormitory...

The waistlines inadvertently revealed upon waking in the morning, the sturdy backs glimpsed while changing clothes, and that narrow single bed in the dead of night...

Who would be the top...

Her gaze grew hazy, the corners of her mouth curled slightly upward, and she became completely immersed in some unspeakable fantasy.

She was entirely unaware that drool was starting to trickle down...

Before setting off to hunt for a soul ring, Lin Ye still had two lottery chances left unused.

First draw:

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining one Mystic Water Pill!]

Lin Ye looked at the small white porcelain bottle in his palm, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

Another Mystic Water Pill.

Wang Dong'er hadn't taken one yet, so it would be perfect to give it to her.

Lin Ye handed the Mystic Water Pill to Wang Dong'er, and she immediately went to the bathtub to consume it.

For the second draw, Lin Ye took a deep breath.

The wheel spun rapidly, clicking from slot to slot, before finally slowing to a halt:

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Jade Void Heart Scripture!]

[Contains various Jade Void techniques!]

Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and he nearly jumped off the bed.

Jade Void techniques!

These were supposed to be top-tier Daoist arts; according to legend, cultivating them to a profound level could allow one to attain sainthood in the flesh and live as long as heaven and earth.

Lin Ye flipped through the general outline of the techniques that appeared in his mind, growing more excited the more he read, his grin stretching nearly to his ears.

Wouldn't this completely crush that so-called Mystic Heaven Treasure Record of the Tang Sect?
