"I'm not called 'hey.'"

"Didn't your family teach you how to respect people?"

Ling Feng brushed the dust from the back of his hand, sat up from the bed, and looked coldly at Wang Dong.

"Hmph, respect is reserved for those with strength!"

The disdain in Wang Dong's eyes faded, her expression turning solemn.

"Since the two of us have been assigned to the same dorm, there can only be one boss in this room!"

"If I beat you, you'll have to listen to me. Otherwise, get out!"

"And if you lose?" Ling Feng asked.

"Lose?"

Wang Dong smiled faintly.

"As expected, people with brute strength aren't very smart."

"Did what happened just now give you the illusion that you could beat me? How naive!"

"I can't possibly lose!"

Seeing how ridiculously arrogant Wang Dong was, Ling Feng could not be bothered to waste more words. He rose to his feet and shook his head.

"I can't accept having an overbearing and arrogant person as my roommate. But I wouldn't mind giving you a beating before I leave."

"Stop pretending. This is Shrek Academy!"

Wang Dong spoke with conviction.

"The Academy's motto is, 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre!'"

"What strength could someone as timid as you possibly have!"

"Take this!"

Behind Wang Dong, a pair of blue butterfly wings instantly spread open. The colors at the tips of the forewings shifted constantly from deep blue to azure to light blue, while the entire wingspan resembled a blue sky set with a string of brilliant halos.

Whether in shape or color, they possessed an unparalleled, flawless beauty.

This was Wang Dong's martial soul, the Radiant Goddess Butterfly!

At the same time, one yellow and one purple soul ring circled around Wang Dong's body.

After releasing her martial soul, Wang Dong provocatively raised her chin at Ling Feng.

Leaving aside everything else, the purple second soul ring that represented a thousand years alone was enough for Wang Dong to look down on many people.

Yet before Wang Dong's lips could curl up, she saw Ling Feng's eyes seem to flash, followed by a sharp pain in her mind.

Everything before her blurred, and she nearly toppled headfirst onto the ground!

"Damn it, what's happening to me?!"

Wang Dong shook her head hard. When she regained her senses, Ling Feng had already vanished from sight.

Her heart jolted, and a chill ran down her back.

Before she could react, a sharp ice blade had already been placed against Wang Dong's neck.

"You lost."

"If this had been a fight to the death, you wouldn't even have known how you died!"

"Too weak. Has Shrek's standard for accepting students fallen this low?"

Cold sweat sprang up across Wang Dong's back, as if she had been struck by lightning.

Throughout the entire exchange, she had not even seen when Ling Feng made his move!

She did not even know what Ling Feng's martial soul was, yet she had lost so inexplicably!

"It's not over yet!"

Wang Dong stood still for several seconds, giving Ling Feng the impression that she had admitted defeat. Then, relying on the speed advantage of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly, she attempted to widen the distance and fight again.

But Ling Feng would not give her any chance.

The moment Wang Dong moved, Ling Feng noticed first. As he withdrew the ice blade, he drove a fist viciously into Wang Dong's back!

"Ugh!"

Wang Dong felt a tremendous force slam into her back, followed by bone-deep cold!

Clang!

Wang Dong was knocked backward by Ling Feng's blow, tumbling and scrambling into a cabinet.

"Bastard!"

Wang Dong unwillingly tried to get back up, but the cold in her back left her in no state to continue fighting.

"If you want to die, get up and keep fighting."

Ling Feng kindly reminded her, "Use the light power of your martial soul to neutralize it. You should recover more or less before the official start of classes."

One punch!

It had taken just one punch to defeat him!

Wang Dong simply could not accept this outcome, yet there was nothing she could do but watch Ling Feng pack up his things as if nothing had happened.

"I'll definitely return that punch someday!"

Wang Dong glared viciously at Ling Feng's retreating back.

"Mm, I'll be waiting—as long as you have the ability."

Ling Feng did not even turn around. Once he had packed his things, he rose and left the dormitory.

He did not particularly dislike Wang Dong; he simply did not want anything to do with the Sugar God King.

Wang Dong could still be gradually guided, but if he boarded the Sugar God King's pirate ship, then all that awaited him was a life as a dog.

He had finally obtained a system, so he did not dare gamble.

What if he really replaced Huo Yuhao and became the person chosen by the Sugar God King? He would not even have anywhere to cry about it.

Still, it was somewhat regrettable that he could not get involved with a beauty like Wang Dong.

"How could an immature little girl compare to an older sister?"

Ling Feng comforted himself.

As he walked out of the dormitory, Ling Feng was still considering whether he should change dorms when a familiar figure approached him.

"Sis? Why are you here?"

The instant Ling Luocheng saw Ling Feng, the icy chill around her melted away. She walked over to him and gave him a gentle smile.

"This is your first time leaving home, and your first time living away from home. I came to see whether you were getting used to it."

"I'm not a child anymore."

Ling Feng was a little speechless. He was already quite grown up—at the very least, he was nearly as tall as Ling Luocheng. Why did she still always treat him like a child?

It seemed changing Ling Luocheng's way of thinking would be a long and arduous task...

"I was just asking."

Seeing Ling Feng's dejected expression, Ling Luocheng only found him unbearably adorable and could not help patting his head.

"So early in the morning—where are you going? Breakfast?"

"I already ate breakfast. Actually, it's because..."

Ling Feng explained everything that had just happened in the dormitory to Ling Luocheng.

After hearing it, Ling Luocheng's expression instantly darkened.

"What terrible manners. Didn't his family teach him how to respect others?"

"And he even said Shrek's motto was 'those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.' Since when did Shrek use its power to bully others?"

"No, I need to go up there and teach him another lesson!"

Seeing Ling Luocheng about to head for the boys' dormitory, Ling Feng hurriedly grabbed her.

"Forget it, forget it. None of this is easy..."

After much persuasion, he finally managed to stop Ling Luocheng.

"Then what are you going to do next? Change dorms? Or..."

At the mention of the dormitory issue, Ling Luocheng's mind began racing as she considered how to coax her "worldly inexperienced" little brother into moving in with her.

"How about I do as you said and move in with you?" Ling Feng asked tentatively. "It wouldn't be too much trouble, would it?"

"Mm, living with me would be nice, but... what? Move in with me?!"

Ling Luocheng had still been thinking of a solution. When she heard that Ling Feng was willing to move in with her, she became so excited that her voice cracked.

"Mm... would it be troublesome for you?"

Seeing Ling Luocheng's reaction, Ling Feng thought she was unwilling.

"Not troublesome, not troublesome at all."

Ling Luocheng was blooming with joy inside, but she still forced herself to appear calm on the surface.

"You've packed your things already, right? Then I'll accompany you to return the dorm key first, and then I'll take you to my dorm."

Ling Luocheng took Ling Feng's hand and dragged him toward the inner courtyard, afraid he might change his mind.

"Hehe, I've finally taken the first step toward winning over my little brother!" Ling Luocheng was ecstatic inside.

"I've finally taken the first step toward changing Sister Luocheng's opinion of me too!"

Ling Feng felt equally delighted.

"Huh? Why did I say 'too'?"
