Xiao Wu Moves Out of the Work-Study Dormitory, Tang San Panics

Work-study dormitory.

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu's bed in the corner. Her little pink bundle was still there, which gave him some comfort.

So what if Meng Chen had been flirting with Xiao Wu in class? Like him, Xiao Wu was only a work-study student and could only live in the work-study dormitory. She still had to come back to sleep.

The one closest to the water got the moon first. He had an advantage Meng Chen did not.

"Big Sis Xiao Wu!"

Wang Sheng's shout drew Tang San's attention. He turned toward the door and saw Xiao Wu returning, delight flashing in his eyes.

He knew it. Xiao Wu would definitely come back.

However, the joy that had just surfaced was snuffed out by Meng Chen, who was following behind Xiao Wu.

"Why did this guy come with Xiao Wu too?"

A trace of displeasure rose in Tang San's eyes as he inwardly cursed Meng Chen. The guy was truly impossible to shake off.

When the work-study students in the dormitory saw Xiao Wu return, they all called out to her as Big Sis Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu lifted her little chin. She really liked the feeling of being called big sister.

"Xiao Wu, you're back."

Tang San stepped forward to greet her, expecting an enthusiastic response. Yet Xiao Wu merely nodded, then walked over to her bed and picked up her little pink bundle.

Seeing Xiao Wu take the bundle, Tang San grew anxious and reached out to grab one corner of it.

"Tang San, what are you doing?!"

Thinking Tang San was trying to snatch her things, anger appeared on Xiao Wu's little face. She raised her leg and kicked at Tang San. Tang San dodged aside and let go of the bundle.

Seeing this, Meng Chen stepped forward as well and stood in front of Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu clutched the bundle tightly to her chest, watching Tang San warily.

Seeing that Xiao Wu had misunderstood, Tang San hurriedly explained, "I-I didn't mean it, Xiao Wu. I just wanted to ask where you were going with your luggage."

"What does where Xiao Wu is going have to do with you?"

Before Xiao Wu could speak, Meng Chen shot back first, glaring coldly at Tang San.

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement. "That's right. What does where I'm going have to do with you?"

Seeing Meng Chen and Xiao Wu acting like a devoted couple, Tang San nearly cracked. He said anxiously:

"How can it have nothing to do with me? Xiao Wu, you're the boss of Dorm Seven. If you leave, what are we supposed to do?"

"Yeah, Big Sis Xiao Wu, where are you going?"

"Big Sis Xiao Wu, you're not moving dorms, are you?"

"Big Sis Xiao Wu..."

Tang San's words resonated with the other work-study students, and they all began asking Xiao Wu where she was going.

Since her underlings had all asked, Xiao Wu did not hide it any longer.

"Mm, I really am moving dorms. After all, I'm a girl, and it isn't good for me to live with so many boys."

"But since you call me Big Sis Xiao Wu, I won't abandon you. If you run into trouble at the academy or someone bullies you, come find Big Sis Xiao Wu. I'll beat them up for you!"

After thinking it over, Wang Sheng and the others felt that Xiao Wu had a point. The adults in their village had also said that once boys grew up, they could no longer sleep in the same room as girls.

Before leaving, Xiao Wu gave Tang San one final look. There was no reluctance in it, only distance and wariness.

She seriously suspected Tang San was the creep Meng Chen had mentioned.

Tang San stood where he was, once again watching Xiao Wu leave with Meng Chen, yet unable to do anything.

He was even more useless than an impotent husband.

"Meng Chen! Don't think you've won just because of this. Just wait. Once I obtain my first soul ring, I'll take Xiao Wu back!"

Tang San gritted his teeth, fury burning in his eyes and consuming his reason. He forced out each word through clenched teeth.

Time flew by, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Meng Chen had adjusted to life at Notting Academy.

During the day, he attended class and fed Xiao Wu while he was at it.

At night, he meditated and cultivated, accumulating soul power.

Although his cultivation was still stuck at rank ten, all the soul power he cultivated was stored away and would automatically be released once he broke through.

It was another day off. Someone knocked on the dormitory door, and Meng Chen opened it.

Xiao Wu's petite figure came into view. She wore the white dress he had bought for her, along with white ankle socks, looking as playful and adorable as ever.

"A-Chen, it's a day off. Why didn't you ask me out to play?"

Xiao Wu pouted in displeasure, and even her rabbit ears stood straight up.

Seeing this, Meng Chen pinched Xiao Wu's puffed-up cheek and gently explained:

"Don't be angry. It's not that I don't want to play with you. I have something to do today and need to take a trip. I might be gone for several days."

"A trip? What are you going to do, A-Chen?" Xiao Wu quickly asked.

"You know I have innate full soul power. I can obtain my first soul ring as soon as my martial soul awakens. My teacher sent me a letter yesterday, telling me to take leave today and go hunt soul beasts with her so I can obtain my first soul ring."

"Teacher? A-Chen, you have a teacher?" Xiao Wu was startled. Meng Chen nodded. "Mm, I took her as my teacher before enrolling."

"Alright, then. Go early and come back early, A-Chen."

Xiao Wu was not too disappointed. This was a good opportunity for her to condense her first soul ring as well.

After rubbing Xiao Wu's head again, Meng Chen watched her leave.

Afterward, Meng Chen found Director Su and requested ten days of leave.

Director Su asked what he was going to do. Meng Chen said he was hunting for his first soul ring. Director Su did not ask any further questions and directly approved the leave.

After leaving Notting Academy, Meng Chen did not rush to Star Dou Great Forest. Instead, he returned to Xiahe Village.

When the village chief grandfather saw Meng Chen return, he was both surprised and delighted.

"Chen, why are you back?"

"Village Chief Grandpa, I took ten days off from the academy. My teacher is taking me hunting soul beasts. Once I obtain my first soul ring, I'll be a Soul Master."

Meng Chen explained softly.

The old village chief was overjoyed upon hearing that Meng Chen was about to become a Soul Master. He hurriedly called for his daughter-in-law to kill a chicken and insisted that Meng Chen eat at his home.

As Meng Chen ate, he told stories about the academy. The old village chief laughed heartily as he listened, his eyes filled with gratification.

After eating, Meng Chen returned to his small home, where Ye Xishui appeared.

"Little fellow, I didn't find the soul bone you wanted, but I did get hold of a piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue."

Meng Chen was somewhat surprised. "You didn't find the soul bone?"

Ye Xishui nodded slightly. "Mm. The back mountain of Saint Soul Village you mentioned has neither a waterfall nor a soul bone."

Meng Chen fell silent.

After recalling the original novel, he cursed inwardly.

"Damn it! Fanfiction misled me!"

Only then did Meng Chen remember that the original novel had never mentioned the Blue Silver Emperor or her soul bone being hidden on the back mountain of Saint Soul Village.

The Blue Silver Emperor's true location was among a range of mountains. Tang San had cultivated there for two years before going to Blue Silver Forest. After awakening his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, he then went to Slaughter City.

The claim that the Blue Silver Emperor was hidden on the back mountain of Saint Soul Village was all nonsense made up by fanfiction writers!

"No matter. So be it."

Meng Chen found it somewhat regrettable, but did not care too much. It was only a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.

Then Ye Xishui took out that piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue.

"Let's begin."

Meng Chen nodded. A blazing golden flame rose in Ye Xishui's palm, wrapping around a piece of whale glue. Under the searing heat of the phoenix flames, the whale glue gradually began to change.

Gradually, a strange fragrance spread from the whale glue. The scent was extremely rich, yet it did not disperse, lingering only within a radius of about one meter around Ye Xishui's hand.

A faint golden glow began to emanate from the whale glue, turning it a strange dark gold color.

As the heat intensified, it began to soften into a gelatinous substance.

The whale glue carried a strong fishy taste upon entering the mouth, but that taste quickly transformed into a warm current flowing into the stomach.

Not only that, after entering the stomach, a faint fragrance seemed to rise from the nostrils. The sensation was truly rather marvelous.

After eating only the first piece of whale glue, Meng Chen felt warmth spreading through his chest and abdomen.

The warmth gradually became scorching hot. Meng Chen felt surging currents of heat constantly flowing through every limb and bone in his body.

Soon, sweat began to seep from his body, as though slowly expelling the impurities within him.

Before long, Meng Chen had eaten the entire large piece of whale glue.

Meng Chen's skin flushed red, and even his sweat was a faint reddish-brown. It quickly dyed his clothes a dark red.

Although reddish-brown sweat flowed from his body, Meng Chen's vitality was now even greater than that of an adult...
