Rogue Rabbit

"Is this Dormitory Seven?"

Bai Shu didn't have to wait long before a crisp voice drifted in from outside.

Bai Shu turned his head to see a young girl with a long scorpion braid standing prettily at the doorway, peering into the room with curiosity.

Even though Bai Shu had been prepared, he had to admit that this rabbit's appearance was truly deceptive; anyone unaware would only see a dainty and adorable little girl.

After a brief silence, Wang Sheng stepped forward.

At this moment, Wang Sheng was so nervous he was pinching his fingers, his speech stuttering as he spoke.

"H-hello, this is Dormitory Seven. I am the boss of Dormitory Seven, Wang Sheng."

Seeing Wang Sheng's face flush with nervousness, Xiao Wu couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile.

"Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Wu, 'Wu' as in dance."

Xiao Wu would have been fine if she hadn't smiled, but that smile left Wang Sheng completely hooked.

However, Bai Shu poked him, signaling the rules of Dormitory Seven, and the other students all turned their gazes toward Wang Sheng in unison.

Seeing the two of them acting so mysterious, Xiao Wu tilted her head and asked curiously:

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Seeing this, Wang Sheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain the traditions of Dormitory Seven to Xiao Wu, stumbling over his words, before adding at the end:

"Of course, since you're a girl, you don't have to fight. Bai Shu didn't fight just now either."

But Xiao Wu clearly didn't grasp Wang Sheng's good intentions; she only latched onto the keyword "being the boss" and asked with an excited expression:

"Really? Whoever wins gets to be the boss?"

Wang Sheng nodded awkwardly. "Uh... yes."

To be honest, he really didn't want to fight such a cute girl, especially since she was several years younger than him.

Xiao Wu didn't care about any of that. She ran over to an empty bed, set down her school uniform, and stood before Wang Sheng, eager to start.

"Alright, come on."

Wang Sheng took a deep breath and reintroduced himself. "Wang Sheng, Martial Soul: War Tiger." As he spoke, a low growl emanated from his throat, and a layer of yellow light rose from his body—he was clearly activating his Martial Soul.

Xiao Wu became even more excited at the sight. "My Martial Soul is a rabbit."

The next moment, Xiao Wu also manifested her Martial Soul. As a red light shone from her body, her ears turned into fuzzy rabbit ears, and a yellow, hundred-year spirit ring rose beneath her feet.

Wang Sheng had been about to charge, but the moment he lifted his leg and saw this scene, he was so stunned he nearly tripped and fell to the ground.

"A Spirit Master! And a Spirit Master with a hundred-year spirit ring!"

One had to know that even a city lord's son like Xiao Chenyu only had a ten-year spirit ring—though that was a point worth mocking—it reflected the rarity of a hundred-year spirit ring from another perspective.

In an instant, Wang Sheng lost all desire to fight; he only felt that he shouldn't have stayed in the dormitory today.

Seeing Wang Sheng's conflicted expression, Xiao Wu asked curiously:

"Hey, are you still going to fight or not?"

"Ah... this..."

In the end, Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Fight! Come on!"

Hearing Wang Sheng's words, Xiao Wu instantly flashed forward, closing the distance and kicking toward his side.

The rest of the battle was simple; it couldn't even be called a fight—it was a one-sided crushing.

Wang Sheng didn't even touch the hem of Xiao Wu's clothes the entire time, forced to only dodge and take hits.

On the other hand, Xiao Wu hadn't even used her signature soft-style techniques.

Bai Shu watched from the side, speechless. He knew Wang Sheng would lose, but he hadn't expected it to be this easy.

Comparing them in his mind, Bai Shu felt that if he didn't use his spirit skills, he wouldn't be much different from Wang Sheng.

"I lost. From now on, you are the boss of Dormitory Seven."

The match ended quickly. Wang Sheng was quite straightforward, offering no excuses. To him, not being the boss was actually better.

After all, if one were to ask who in Dormitory Seven got beaten up the most by the noble students, it was definitely him, the boss.

"Don't worry, from now on, Big Sister Xiao Wu will look after you all. If anyone bullies you, come find me." Xiao Wu swung her scorpion braid triumphantly, her tone full of excitement.

She suddenly felt that human society was quite interesting; she had managed to collect so many underlings the moment she arrived.

With the boss decided, the group dispersed. Today was the last day of the holiday, and classes would start tomorrow, so everyone felt a bit lazy.

Seeing the others return to their beds, Xiao Wu froze, blinking her large eyes. She suddenly realized a problem: she didn't have any bedding!

"Um... where do I go to collect bedding..."

The other work-study students were also stunned by Xiao Wu's question, but they quickly understood her predicament.

One of them said, "Boss, work-study students have to bring their own bedding."

Wang Sheng scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "How about you use mine for now, Boss? It's fine if I don't use a blanket."

Xiao Wu followed the voice to look at Wang Sheng's bed, and seeing the bedsheet that had been slept on until it had a human-shaped outline, she said with some disdain, "Don't call me Boss, it makes me sound old. Just call me Big Sister Xiao Wu from now on."

As she spoke, Xiao Wu's gaze landed on Bai Shu, who had yet to finish making his bed.

Bai Shu's quilt could not be called particularly luxurious, but it was, after all, the new bedding Old Jack had specially prepared for him over the past few months, so it was clean and free of patches.

The most crucial point was that the pure aura of life emanating from him was incredibly alluring.

Although the quantity was not large, the quality was astonishingly high, comparable even to the Lake of Life at the heart of the Star Dou Forest.

For a soul beast, such pure life energy offered immense benefits for growth.

Xiao Wu's eyes darted around, and she flashed a sweet smile at Bai Shu, revealing two adorable dimples on her cheeks.

"This classmate, could I share your quilt with you?"

However, upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, Bai Shu suddenly thought of a question: where was Tang San?

In the original story, Tang San had arrived at Dormitory Seven before Xiao Wu.

Even if he had been delayed by his own influence this time, he shouldn't still be missing, right?

Surely he hadn't been kidnapped by Yu Xiaogang.

Bai Shu felt he must inquire about this later; Tang San's whereabouts were vital to him, as this was his only chance.

But for now, he naturally couldn't reveal his thoughts, so he said to Xiao Wu, "Together? Are you sure?"

"Sure," Xiao Wu replied. "Come on, let's push our beds together."

As she spoke, she began pushing the bed with impatient enthusiasm.

"Oh, right, you haven't told me your name yet."

Bai Shu watched Xiao Wu's movements with interest, thinking to himself that this hooligan rabbit must be up to something.

"My name is Bai Shu, and like you, I am a one-ring soul master."

"Another one-ring soul master?" The students looked over in disbelief upon hearing Bai Shu's words.

These two newcomers were actually stronger than them, the senior students!

But immediately after, everyone grew excited.

With two one-ring soul masters as their backers, it wouldn't be so easy for the noble students to bully them in the future.
