Xipe's Gaze

Xiao Wu was so frightened that she fell onto her butt, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Under the gaze of that majestic god, she was as insignificant as an ant, as if the other party could crush her with the slightest movement.

Xipe gave Ye Yun a gentle look, then sent the two of them out of the Path Gap.

"Little rabbit, you didn't get so scared you pissed yourself, did you?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Wu, who looked like she wanted to bury herself in the ground, teasing her.

Xiao Wu's little face reddened, and she craned her neck as she retorted.

"Who pissed themselves from fear?! I'm not that timid! What was that just now? It felt like Daming and Erming put together still wouldn't be as big as one of Their fingers."

"That was a god. The [Harmony] Aeon."

Hearing that it was a god, Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Ye Yun's arm, shaking it from side to side.

"Really?! Then Sister Xiao Wu counts as a rabbit who's seen a god!! Mom, I've made something of myself!"

Watching Xiao Wu dance around in excitement, Ye Yun was utterly speechless.

She had only seen one. Was there any need to get this excited? It wasn't as if she had been chosen as a candidate to become a god.

"All right, all right. We should go out now. Oh, right, to prevent the Titled Douluo outside from noticing, I haven't temporarily blocked his perception of you."

"Mm-hmm! I know."

The illusion faded. In reality, the vacant look in Xiao Wu's eyes slowly regained its light, becoming lively and vivid again.

In the eyes of everyone present, all they had seen just now was Ye Yun quietly reciting a few words. After that, the two of them had stood there silently, motionless.

Before everyone could figure out what was going on, Ye Yun suddenly raised his hand and gently pressed it against Xiao Wu's abdomen. A moment later, the two of them finally regained the ability to move.

Xiao Wu's eyes curved into a smile, and she naturally hooked her arm around Ye Yun's in an intimate manner.

This was a seriously thick thigh! Someone chosen by a god!

In any case, she was already his rabbit now. If she could curry favor with him, maybe she could avenge her mother!

While Xiao Wu was busily calculating her future backing, she had no idea that her actions had been firmly taken in by Tang San.

Tang San clenched his fists, his heart both wary and tinged with jealousy.

In his heart, Ye Yun had always been the older brother he was close to. He absolutely would not allow Xiao Wu, who had only just arrived, to snatch that relationship away.

He immediately strode forward, reached out, and directly separated the little hand wrapped around Ye Yun's arm before saying:

"Brother Yun, you must have used quite a lot of energy. I know massage. Let me help rub your muscles and relax you."

After saying that, he pulled Ye Yun over to the bedside and began earnestly kneading his shoulders.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks in anger, jutting up her chin unconvinced as she ordered Wang Sheng and the others in the dorm, "You lot, move that empty bed next to Brother Yun's bed. Tonight, I'm sleeping beside Brother Yun."

"Huh?" ×6

All six boys present froze, letting out startled cries in unison.

"Huh?!"

Tang San's eyes widened instantly as well, secretly shocked. He had not expected Xiao Wu to have a method like this.

It seemed this girl was deeply scheming. She was a formidable enemy!

Seeing Wang Sheng and the others standing there in a daze, Xiao Wu fiercely raised her fist and waved it.

"What are you staring at?! Hurry up and do it, or Sister Xiao Wu will beat you up!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The children did not dare remain dazed and quickly pushed an empty bed over, placing it together with Ye Yun's bed.

Xiao Wu proudly raised her chin at Tang San.

Tang San's back teeth clenched with a crack. Fine, I lost this round, but don't get cocky! Brother Yun's care can only be mine!

"Hmph!" ×2

The two looked at each other in displeasure, snorted coldly, and turned their heads away.

Ye Yun was left completely baffled.

Ye Yun looked at this scene, his face full of confusion, feeling utterly puzzled.

No one could figure out how the two of them had suddenly started competing. Xiao Wu's behavior was still understandable, but Tang San's reaction was truly baffling.

Xiao Wu sat down on the edge of the bed, her calves swinging lightly back and forth. Her gaze swept over the bedding the others had laid out, then she looked down at her own bare bed with nothing on it at all and could not help asking.

"Doesn't our academy issue bedding to new students?"

"Sister Xiao Wu, the students here all bring their own bedding. If you don't have any, you can use mine."

Xiao Wu glanced at Wang Sheng's filthy bedding and refused in disgust.

On the other side, Tang San picked up his own bedding at that moment. Don't misunderstand—he was not giving it to Xiao Wu. He was showing it off to her.

"I don't have bedding either. Brother Yun brought this from home for me."

(｡◝ᴗ◜｡)

Tang San stroked the bedding and watched Xiao Wu out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see her break down.

But before he could feel smug for even two seconds, Xiao Wu's eyes darted, and without another word, she climbed straight along the bedboard onto Ye Yun's bed.

She curled up, her big eyes wide open, and looked at Ye Yun pitifully, wheedling in a soft voice.

"Brother Yun, your little bunny doesn't have a blanket. She'll freeze at night.

Your blanket is so big, you can't use all of it by yourself. How about the two of us share it~"

As soon as she said that, the dormitory instantly fell silent. The other work-study students all widened their eyes, their astonished gazes landing on the two of them in unison.

Tang San's expression darkened at once. Jealousy surged up in his heart, and the mindset he had barely kept steady collapsed on the spot.

Brother Yun, don't agree to her! She's not a good person!

"Fine. But let's make this clear first. If you dare move around, I'll kick you out."

"Yay!!"

When Tang San heard Ye Yun agree, it was as if he heard the sound of his heart shattering. He sat on the bed in a daze, watching Xiao Wu celebrate wildly.

Ye Yun pressed down on Xiao Wu's head in distaste and pushed her outward.

"Stop making a fuss. Let's go eat first. I'm a little hungry."

Then he got off the bed and walked outside.

The others hurriedly followed. Tang San had originally wanted to say he could just eat his dry rations in the dormitory.

But when he saw Xiao Wu sticking to Ye Yun like a plaster, he immediately swallowed his words, got up, and quickly followed after them.

As soon as they arrived at the cafeteria, Wang Sheng explained the costs on the first and second floors to Ye Yun and the other two.

There was no helping it. Their entire dormitory could not scrape together even one gold coin, so they could only go to the first floor for cheap meals.

None of them noticed that Yu Xiaogang had been waiting by the second-floor window since early morning.

When he saw Ye Yun, Tang San, and the others walking toward the cafeteria, he immediately hurried downstairs.

Just as they were about to meet face-to-face, he raised a hand to straighten his clothes and deliberately put on the air of someone who had merely happened to pass by as he slowly stepped forward.

Tang San was the first to recognize the person approaching. His brows furrowed slightly, and he lowered his voice to say to Ye Yun beside him, "Brother Yun, that old swindler is here again."

"No need to bother with him. We'll just keep walking."

Tang San nodded in response, his face expressionless as he silently followed the group.

"Hmm? Tang San, Ye Yun? What a coincidence. I was just about to..."

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish speaking, Ye Yun and the others walked straight past him as if they had not seen him at all.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang quickly stepped forward and reached out to stop them.

This abrupt obstruction instantly sparked Xiao Wu's anger. She immediately pointed at Yu Xiaogang's nose and cursed.
