When Xiao Wu saw Bai Shu speak up, she obediently nodded. Even she had not noticed that after just one day and one night apart, seeing Bai Shu again made her feel as though his entire aura had undergone a drastic change.
There was something about him that made her inexplicably want to get close to him, unable to resist drawing nearer.
If she had to put it into words, Bai Shu smells so good.
At that thought, Xiao Wu's big eyes sparkled. She could not help slurping up the drool spilling from the corner of her mouth, wishing she could sack Bai Shu up and drag him back to the Star Dou Forest right then.
Tang San, standing not far away, frowned deeply and stared fixedly at Bai Shu.
He had no idea what Bai Shu was plotting, but this way of directly rallying everyone to ignore him was clearly detrimental to him.
He did not understand when he had offended Bai Shu, but as a disciple of the Tang Sect, once he had determined someone was an enemy, that person had already earned a death sentence.
Bai Shu could not be bothered with Tang San at all. He walked straight back to the beds he and Xiao Wu used. He had been exhausted after the events of the day, and once his heightened tension faded, weariness crashed over him like a tide. What he needed now was deep sleep.
Seeing this, the others dispersed and returned to their beds to rest. Just as Bai Shu had said, since the newcomer Tang San did not want to follow the rules, Dormitory Seven could simply act as though he did not exist from then on.
Badly injured, Tang San stood alone where he was. Watching everyone ignore him, he felt his blood and energy roil in his chest. He let out a muffled groan, then gritted his teeth and climbed onto the empty bed in the farthest corner, enduring the agony as he circulated his power alone to heal his injuries.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, saw Bai Shu kick off his shoes and collapse onto his bed. Her eyes immediately lit up, and with a beaming, lovestruck grin, she tiptoed back onto the bed beside his.
Bai Shu lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and quickly sank into deep sleep.
With a Super Douluo secretly protecting him, he had no need to worry about safety at all.
This was undoubtedly the soundest, most peaceful sleep Bai Shu had had since awakening his martial soul.
Only when the first light of dawn shone through the windows into Dormitory Seven did Bai Shu slowly wake up.
The instant Bai Shu regained consciousness, before he even opened his eyes, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the sensation on his body.
His chest felt heavy, making it hard to breathe, while his legs seemed to be tightly tangled up by something.
What the hell? What's going on? Why does it feel like sleep paralysis?!
Bai Shu was startled at first and instinctively tried to mobilize his Soul Power to strike back. But when he lowered his head to look, following the sensation, the Soul Power he had just gathered instantly dissipated, leaving him utterly speechless.
Xiao Wu was sprawled over him like an octopus, most of her body pressing down on Bai Shu. Her long, supple legs tightly clamped around his waist, her little hands gripped his collar, and her fair, delicate face was buried in his chest.
What made Bai Shu's mouth twitch most violently was the blissful, even somewhat lecherous infatuated grin hanging on Xiao Wu's sleeping face. From her slightly open mouth, a glistening strand of drool ran down Bai Shu's collar and all the way into his clothes...
Bai Shu closed his eyes again, took a deep breath, then waited a full three seconds before opening them once more, intending to physically refresh the eye-searing scene he had just witnessed.
Unfortunately, it did not do a damn thing.
When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was still the Rogue Rabbit's lecherous smile.
Since the other students were still asleep, Bai Shu's mouth twitched in disgust, but he held himself back from making any major commotion.
He could only helplessly pull away Xiao Wu's fluffy little head, then use every ounce of his strength to free his legs before silently getting out of bed.
After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Bai Shu headed to the quiet back mountain of the academy.
The moment he stopped, faint ripples of Soul Power spread through the air, and Xie Biyan's figure emerged like a ghost.
Bai Shu remained calm as he spoke lightly. "Old Xie, you specifically sent me a voice transmission so early in the morning. If you have something to say, say it."
That was right. Bai Shu had come here because Xie Biyan had sent him a voice transmission, telling him to find somewhere quiet because he had an important matter to report.
"Young Master, what are your thoughts... about that little girl in the dormitory?" Xie Biyan's voice was somewhat hesitant, and he did not get straight to the point.
"A girl? You mean Xiao Wu?"
"Yes, she... This old servant secretly investigated her last night and found that her aura was rather strange. She is not purely human. Instead, she seems more like..." Xie Biyan did not quite know how to explain it.
But Bai Shu instantly understood what he meant. He waved a hand to interrupt him and said calmly, "She is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that took human form. Her true body is a Soft Bone Rabbit, right?"
Xie Biyan was startled, clearly not expecting Bai Shu to already know.
Once his shock passed, the reverence in his heart deepened. He hurriedly bowed. "In reply to Young Master, that little girl truly is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form. I never expected Young Master's discerning eye to have already seen through it. This old servant spoke out of turn."
"It's fine. You meant well. As for Xiao Wu... just keep her around for now." The image of Xiao Wu from earlier flashed through Bai Shu's mind, and he smiled indifferently.
After discussing how to handle Xiao Wu with Xie Biyan, Bai Shu stretched his muscles and headed toward the cafeteria.
Since he was already out, he might as well eat breakfast and fill his stomach first.
But unexpectedly, the moment Bai Shu stepped through the cafeteria doors, he ran into Tang San, who had already finished breakfast and was preparing to leave.
It had to be said that Tang San truly worked hard at cultivation. At the very least, getting up so early every day to cultivate would have been difficult for Bai Shu.
Beside Tang San stood a middle-aged man in a black robe with a crew cut. It was his bargain-bin teacher and adoptive father, Yu Xiaogang.
However, Yu Xiaogang's face was even paler than Tang San's at that moment. His steps were unsteady, dark circles ringed his eyes, and he looked even weaker than the seriously injured Tang San.
With the two standing together, anyone unaware of the truth might have thought Yu Xiaogang had taken his disciple to a brothel the night before.
Naturally, Bai Shu looked straight ahead and could not even be bothered to spare them a glance. He had no intention of dealing with Tang San.
At the same time, Tang San bore a grudge against Bai Shu for being ignored and isolated the night before. His gaze was cold, and he clearly had no intention of interacting with Bai Shu either.
It was Yu Xiaogang, pale as a ghost beside him, whose lifeless fish eyes suddenly burst with an unusual gleam the instant he saw Bai Shu. His whole body became slightly animated.
Over the past two days, Yu Xiaogang had already thoroughly investigated Bai Shu's circumstances. He too possessed Innate Full Soul Power and a plant-type martial soul, though his martial soul was far stronger than Blue Silver Grass. He did not appear to possess Twin Martial Souls.
Yet rather than making Yu Xiaogang give up, this only made him set his sights on Bai Shu once again.
