Seeing Xiao Wu's disheveled state,

and her slow, lazy movements, Du Bei finally couldn't stand it anymore and directly stepped in to help.

"You're so slow. Raise your hands!"

Xiao Wu, her eyes half-closed, didn't resist. She simply lifted her arms and let Du Bei tidy her up.

The two of them were already used to this sort of thing.

"Hehe~" Xiao Wu gave a mischievous grin.

"You're still laughing? Aren't you ashamed, having a man dress you every day?"

He gave Xiao Wu a chop on the head.

There was nothing he could do about this little rabbit. She was getting lazier by the day.

She even needed his help with something this small.

"What's the big deal, Uncle~?"

"Besides, I'm an adult now~" As she spoke, Xiao Wu happened to lean forward.

She crashed straight into Du Bei's arms.

Looking at the rabbit pressed against him and wriggling nonstop, Du Bei finished dressing her before grabbing both her ears.

He lifted the rabbit straight up.

Then turned her around.

"Stay still. Your hair isn't done yet." With practiced movements, he tied up her hair.

He wasn't tempted in the slightest by this "harmony ticket."

What a joke. He wasn't some Electric Kid. Even in another world, the Lightning King would still come after him!

So this rabbit would have to wait a few more years.

"Hmph! Stinky Uncle!"

Seeing her plan fail once again, Xiao Wu crossed her arms and pouted in displeasure.

She had clearly followed those storybooks. Why wasn't the plot proceeding according to plan at all?

Had something gone wrong with one of the steps?

No! She needed to check the guide...

She pulled a book from her chest, flipped to the page she had read before, and studied it word by word.

"Hey, hey, hey? Xiao Wu, I'm still here, you know?"

"Could you at least show a little consideration for me?" Du Bei, who was tying her hair behind her, leaned forward and stared speechlessly at the book in Xiao Wu's hands.

Du Bei felt a complicated mix of emotions, strangely moved.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, casually shook her head. She kept reading, her lips curling in disdain.

"What does it matter?"

"You wrote all these books anyway. I followed the guide and still failed, so shouldn't you, the person involved, take responsibility?"

Du Bei was immediately speechless.

Did she even hear herself? She was using a book he wrote to win him over? And was that thing in her hands even a guidebook? It was clearly...

<The Bratty Little Girl in My Home That Year—Volume Two!>

That was right. As one could see, it was a very wholesome bestseller across the continent.

It was also one of Du Bei's famous works, written back when he had been young and truly out of options.

There were also works like That Year I Was 18..., Soul Master, Please, No!, and so on.

But times had changed.

Now that his career was successful, he had become the head of the mafia, with countless underlings beneath him. He no longer needed to rely on writing books to make a living.

Even when he wrote in his spare time, he only wrote respectable works now. He would never write those trashy little stories again.

"Alright, stop reading. I'm done."

He flicked Xiao Wu's hair in front of her eyes, directly interrupting the little rabbit who was flipping through the book.

"Trash~ Trash~"

"Uncle, you really are such trash~"

Seeing the rabbit about to start causing trouble again, Du Bei decisively headed for the door.

"I'm leaving first. You should hurry up too..."

Watching Du Bei's departing back, Xiao Wu, who had originally wanted to recreate the scene from the book, instantly drooped.

"Stinky Uncle..."

Outside.

Xiao Wu, who followed him out, immediately spotted Du Bei waiting for her by the roadside and hurried over in a light jog.

But as she drew closer,

she noticed someone else standing around the corner, talking to Du Bei.

Only after Xiao Wu got closer

did she hear clearly...

"Boss, all the invitations from those academies have been canceled. It seems someone interfered."

"Did you find out who it was?"

Du Bei's expression remained calm as he asked lightly. There was no other emotion in his voice, as though it were merely a trivial matter.

But the young man, who was clearly not from the academy, did not see it that way.

Instead, he hurriedly explained in fear.

"We've already investigated it. Every one of those academies was personally visited by Yu Xiaogang, the man known as the Grandmaster, and he unilaterally turned them down."

After hearing the explanation, the air seemed to turn cold for several minutes.

"Is that so?"

"Then you don't need to concern yourselves with this anymore. I'll handle it."

After giving a few simple instructions,

the young man left in a panic, not daring to linger a moment longer.

"Uncle, did something happen?"

Only after the man had left did the considerate Xiao Wu step forward and ask curiously.

She did it so naturally that this clearly wasn't her first time.

Du Bei turned back to look at Xiao Wu, and the careless smile returned to his lips.

"It's nothing. Just a minor matter."

"Let's go."

As the two passed by Dorm Seven, whether by coincidence or some other reason, they happened to run into Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

When the master and disciple saw their targets again, their eyes lit up, and they shamelessly approached.

"Xiao Wu, what a coincidence..."

How could it have been a coincidence? They had clearly been waiting there since morning, all the way until now.

Even Yu Xiaogang wore a smile as he eagerly came to Du Bei's side, speaking in a deliberately gentle tone.

"Brother Du Bei, perhaps my words earlier were somewhat inappropriate, but I still want to invite Xiao Wu to Shrek Academy. The teachers there are truly exceptional. I really wasn't lying to you about that!"

"None of the academies that invited you have a Soul Sage-level dean, while Shrek Academy has several!"

After the incident involving Tang Hao last time, Yu Xiaogang held some resentment, but he still had to carry out the order to bring Xiao Wu into Shrek Academy.

He discussed it with Tang San, who shared the same intentions.

At last, the two made a decision.

And so now...

Tang San remained as attentive as a licking dog, while Yu Xiaogang had been reluctantly dragged along. Each had his own way of licking boots.

Up close, they were two dogs. From afar, they were still two dogs.

"Didn't you say Xiao Wu and I couldn't go together back then? Why are you changing your mind now?"

Hearing Du Bei's teasing, Yu Xiaogang, who no longer cared about such things, barely forced out a fake smile.

"What are you saying? I was simply blind back then... But Du Bei, Shrek Academy truly is exactly as I described—a school with extremely strong teaching staff! You have to believe me!"

"I'm a famous theory master! I guarantee it with my reputation—everything I said is true!"

Hearing his teacher say this, Tang San quickly echoed him to Xiao Wu. "That's right, Sister Xiao Wu! Everything my teacher said is true!"

"You can bring Du Bei with you to Shrek Academy when the time comes. Teacher has already arranged everything. As long as you go with us, your brother can join the academy too, as a gatekeeper!"
