Ye Ming led Wang Qiuer and Gu Yuena forward and respectfully said, "Hello, sir. The three of us are new students here to move into the dormitories."

"Do you need to inspect our freshman badges?"

Ye Ming did not consider himself a particularly polite person, but with his current strength, he was no more than an ant before Mu En.

Anyone who had cultivated immortality knew that there were only three realms in the cultivation world.

Ants, fellow Daoists, and seniors.

He could disregard Dai Huabin, but it was better to behave himself in front of Mu En.

The old man slightly raised his head. As his half-lidded eyes swept over Ye Ming and the other two, they visibly widened.

Ye Ming's heart skipped a beat. He was already prepared to have Gu Yuena unleash her ultimate and make a run for it.

Unexpectedly, the old man tremulously extended his right hand and said in a hoarse, low voice, "Hand over the badges and dormitory keys. Let me have a look."

Ye Ming hurriedly passed over all three badges and keys.

The old man squinted at them before handing them back. "Your room is number 108, on the first floor, third room on the left."

"The fourth floor is for female students. Boys are not allowed up there. If you're caught, you'll be expelled."

"The two girls are in room 406. Go on."

"Thank you, sir." Ye Ming gave a respectful bow before leading Gu Yuena and Wang Qiuer toward the dormitory building.

The old man lay back down, a trace of shock appearing in his half-lidded eyes.

"Three dragon-type martial souls... I never expected that, aside from my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, there would be a hidden sect in this world possessing dragon-type martial souls."

He had no intention of prying into their secrets.

As long as students who entered Shrek Academy were not from the Holy Spirit Cult, Shrek was confident it could win their loyalty!

Only after entering the dormitory building did Ye Ming finally let out a breath.

They had passed that hurdle.

At that moment, Gu Yuena's voice rang out in his mind. "Were you afraid? Was that old man powerful?"

As the Silver Dragon King who controlled the elements, this sort of mental conversation was nothing more than a trivial trick to her.

"Mm. Fate guided me to the answer—that old man is a very powerful Titled Douluo." Ye Ming replied through his thoughts as well. "He's the strongest person in the entire academy!"

"This academy is full of hidden masters. We should be careful in the future."

He reminded her, "Yue'er, Qiuer doesn't understand much about the world. Look after her more in daily life."

Gu Yuena had dual personalities. Ye Ming was used to calling her domineering and aloof personality Yue'er, while calling her weak and timid personality Na'er.

The Emperor Beast possessed the power of fate and was blessed by the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest. That was why Gu Yuena had always trusted Ye Ming.

She had not expected an old man standing at the pinnacle of humanity to be guarding a dormitory entrance here.

After committing the matter to memory, Gu Yuena answered, "Don't worry. I'm very experienced when it comes to raising little kittens."

"Hand over the badges and keys!"

This was not said through mental communication.

Wang Qiuer looked at the two of them suspiciously. "What are you two doing behind my back?"

"Nothing." Ye Ming rubbed the tip of his nose and gave a dry cough. "Little sister, you two will be sharing a dormitory from now on. Take good care of Na'er."

Wang Qiuer patted her already well-developed chest and boldly declared, "Don't worry! With me around, no one will dare bully her!"

Ye Ming smiled as he watched the two head upstairs.

After they left, Ye Ming walked toward his own room, but his thoughts immediately drifted away.

Though Wang Qiuer was ignorant of worldly matters, it was precisely because of that that she was happiest.

In the original story, Wang Qiuer's fate had been utterly tragic. She had been reduced to nothing more than a tool, toyed with by Tang San as he pleased.

Now that he had become one of the Emperor Beasts, he would never allow such a thing to happen again!

"Wang Dong, now I'm just waiting for you to arrive..."

The academy began three days later.

Over the first two days, Ye Ming and the other two had been led by Bei Bei and Tang Ya on a rough tour of the outer courtyard.

On the third day, Ye Ming let Gu Yuena absorb a great deal of dragon aura beside Sea God Lake before leisurely returning to the dormitory.

As soon as he reached the door, he noticed that it was open.

Ye Ming was delighted. Wang Dong had finally arrived!

Sure enough, a young man was walking out of the room.

The youth had delicate features and fair skin. His large eyes were particularly distinctive, carrying a faint pinkish-blue hue.

His neat short hair was the same color. His handsome face could rival Ye Ming's, though he was half a head shorter.

Even though Ye Ming had long been mentally prepared, he was still somewhat surprised upon seeing Wang Dong.

Wang Qiuer and Wang Dong really did resemble each other somewhat.

If he had not known that Wang Qiuer had already returned to her dormitory, he might have thought this was Wang Qiuer disguised as a boy.

If the three of them stood together, outsiders would definitely think Wang Dong and Wang Qiuer were the actual siblings.

While Ye Ming was sizing up Wang Dong, Wang Dong noticed Ye Ming as well.

The youth had short golden hair and wore a fitted silver outfit. His mismatched gold and silver eyes shone brightly, and his bearing was extraordinary, radiant as a divine being.

Even so, Wang Dong did not give him a pleasant look. With a hint of arrogance, he glared at Ye Ming. "Move."

The corners of Ye Ming's lips curled upward as he slightly stepped aside to make room for him.

There was plenty of time ahead. He did not mind letting Wang Dong have a little taste of victory first.

Of course, only this much.

Wang Dong walked past him, then stopped after taking a few steps. Turning back, he said:

"You're in this dormitory too, right? Since you cleaned the place so well, I'll allow you to live with me for now."

"But there are a few rules you need to remember!"

"First, don't bring people back to the dormitory whenever you please. Second, don't walk around naked in the dormitory and disgust people. Third, don't snore when you sleep at night. Fourth, don't disturb me. Fifth, you'll be responsible for cleaning the dormitory from now on, but don't touch my bed!"

"Did you hear me?"

"Another one who won't stop yapping." Ye Ming pretended to dig at his ear and sneered. "Do you think you're my wife? Why should I listen to you?"

"Take a look at yourself first."

Wang Dong snorted. "If you don't listen to me, I'll beat you out of here!"

"Try it if you don't believe me!"

This was exactly what Ye Ming had been waiting for.

He tilted his neck and chuckled. "You want to fight? Fine!"

"How about we make a rule? Whoever wins is the boss. The loser must unconditionally obey the winner, even if the winner tells them to serve tea and water, wash clothes, or cook meals. They have to do it obediently."

"If they can't, they'll strip naked and go to the training field to shout three times, 'I was wrong!'"

Wang Dong laughed. He had not expected someone to come knocking on his door like this.

Having grown up in the Haotian Sect, his resources and martial soul were both top-tier. Among those of the same rank, he was practically invincible!

He had never feared fighting someone his own age.

"Fine!" Wang Dong smiled disdainfully. "And don't say I'm bullying you. Let's add another rule: before graduation, the losing side can challenge the winner at any time."

"Whoever wins becomes the boss!"

Ye Ming could barely hold back his laughter. He had only intended to keep Wang Dong in line for a short while.

He had not expected Wang Dong to extend the duration himself.

Suppressing his smile, Ye Ming raised his palm. "A gentleman's word!"

Wang Dong sneered and slapped his palm against Ye Ming's. "A team of four horses couldn't chase it back!"

He suddenly stepped closer to Ye Ming and said, "Remember this: your boss's name is Wang Dong."

"I don't care what your name is, because you'll soon disappear from Shrek Academy."

"Let's go, idiot."

With that, he turned and walked outside first.

Ye Ming finally could not hold back and laughed out loud. He muttered, "Even if you flirt with me, I still won't hit you any fewer times."
