New Student Dormitory Building.
Huo Yuhao stood quietly in front of his bed.
Not far away, Wang Dong was sizing him up.
Her gaze swept back and forth over the eleven-year-old boy.
He looked fairly handsome, dressed neatly, and had calm, reserved eyes. He seemed like a gentle, honest, well-behaved boy.
Other than that, there did not seem to be anything particularly special about him.
Wang Dong curled her lip inwardly.
This young master had come all the way to Shrek Academy to experience life, thinking he might meet someone interesting. Instead, she had been assigned to a dorm with a soft-looking guy like this.
How boring.
While Wang Dong observed him, Huo Yuhao was discreetly observing her as well.
Neat pinkish-blue short hair, along with beautiful eyes of the same color.
Her skin was unbelievably fair, her features exquisitely delicate, and she even gave off a faint, fresh fragrance.
As a transmigrator with modern memories, Huo Yuhao naturally knew this beautiful roommate's true identity.
The little princess of the Divine Realm, Tang Wutong.
Her current alias was Wang Dong—a great Buddha disguised as a boy who had come to Shrek Academy for fun.
Wang Dong was also a regular on the Douluo Must-Eat List.
Back when he read novels, Huo Yuhao clearly remembered that in fanfiction for The Unrivaled Tang Clan, if not eight out of ten, then at least six protagonists would swoop in and steal Wang Dong right from the start.
After all, as the original work's true female lead, Wang Dong had a vivid, likable character. She was cold on the outside but warm within, loyal and devoted—and back then, tsundere was the winning formula.
Readers rarely disliked a tsundere young lady like Wang Dong.
And in the minds of most people, including Huo Yuhao, the early Wang Dong and the later Tang Wutong were practically two completely different people.
When he had only read the words on a page, it had all seemed perfectly natural.
But now that this pinkish-blue-haired roommate was standing right in front of him, Huo Yuhao's mindset had taken a complete one-eighty.
She was exquisite and proud, with a trace of a young girl's innocence and immaturity between her brows.
She was just a twelve- or thirteen-year-old middle school girl who had only recently entered puberty.
Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly.
Thinking of those predecessors from fanfiction, they had often transmigrated over with the mature mentality of adults in their twenties or thirties.
Then they would eagerly court a little girl like this, even secretly harboring such filthy thoughts.
It was absurd beyond belief.
How could they bring themselves to do it?
How was that any different from animals?
Huo Yuhao reined in his wandering thoughts.
Seeing her haughty expression, he decided to follow the usual process for getting to know a new roommate.
He took the initiative to extend his hand, a warm, sunny smile appearing on his face. "My name is Huo Yuhao. I'm eleven."
"I'm a Rank 21 control-type Grand Soul Master. My martial soul is Spirit Eyes."
Seeing Huo Yuhao take the initiative so readily, the aloofness on Wang Dong's face faded slightly.
She casually extended her hand and lightly shook his.
The boy's palm was somewhat warm.
"Wang Dong. Twelve."
Wang Dong lifted her chin slightly, undisguised pride showing in her expression. "I'm a Rank 24 assault-type Grand Soul Master. My martial soul is the Light Goddess Butterfly."
As soon as she finished speaking.
The air in the dorm suddenly fell silent.
Huo Yuhao blinked. The gentle smile on his face instantly vanished, replaced by an extremely shocked expression.
His eyes widened as he stared fixedly at Wang Dong's excessively beautiful face.
Wang Dong felt her skin crawl under his gaze.
She instinctively took half a step back and frowned. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"No..."
Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, looking Wang Dong up and down with an expression full of scrutiny. His tone was strange. "Light Goddess Butterfly?"
"Yeah. What about it?"
Had this guy never seen the world before and been stunned by such a top-tier martial soul?
However.
Huo Yuhao's next sentence froze Wang Dong's expression in place.
"I just read about this martial soul in the library at Shrek Outer Court."
Staring hard into her eyes, Huo Yuhao exclaimed, "The book said only women can possess this martial soul. You... could you be a girl?"
The air completely froze.
Wang Dong's mind buzzed, and an unmistakable flash of panic passed through her pinkish-blue eyes.
What the hell was this situation?
She herself had not known that this stupid martial soul had such an absurd gender restriction.
What was this?
On her first day at the academy, her disguise had been stripped bare by her roommate right to her face?
What kind of mess was this?!
"Y-You... what nonsense are you talking about!"
Wang Dong forced herself to stay calm, but a faint blush still crept across her cheeks.
She straightened her back and loudly retorted with stubborn defiance, "That's just hearsay. Everything written in books is fake!"
"This young master is a real man, genuine and guaranteed!"
Seeing Wang Dong desperately trying to hide it after getting flustered,
Huo Yuhao found it rather amusing. This little girl was quite stubborn.
He had originally only wanted to get acquainted naturally, but now he suddenly wanted to tease the proud little princess in front of him.
Huo Yuhao dropped his shocked expression.
He put on a serious, stern face.
His gaze traveled from Wang Dong's pinkish-blue short hair down to the fake Adam's apple created with a disguise tool, and then he nodded solemnly.
"You really are quite handsome."
Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and smacked his lips. "That Adam's apple looks pretty convincing too, but for some reason, I keep feeling that you have a girly smell about you."
"Who are you calling girly?!" Wang Dong flew into a rage.
"Don't be so anxious."
Huo Yuhao looked at her, the corners of his mouth rising wildly.
He simply could not suppress that upward curve. It was harder to control than the recoil of an AK firing continuously.
He took a deep breath, forcibly restrained his expression, and proposed something she could not refuse.
"Since you insist you're a boy, let's use a simple, direct method."
Wang Dong watched him warily. "What method?"
Huo Yuhao stared straight at her, his tone sincere.
"Take out your little brother and let me have a look."
"As long as I see it once, I'll believe you're a boy."
Boom!
Wang Dong felt as if a bolt of heavenly lightning had exploded in her mind.
She was utterly dumbfounded on the spot.
What?
Look at what?
How could this hooligan say such obscene words without even changing his expression?!
Was he really being this direct?
Wang Dong's face turned crimson at a visible rate, and even her slender, fair neck was dyed with a layer of red.
Her heart was roaring wildly, and she was even beginning to question life itself.
How could she possibly have something like that?!
Could she perhaps gather soul power and make a fake one on the spot to fool him?
No.
That would be way too perverted!
The dormitory fell into deathly silence.
Huo Yuhao simply stood there quietly, looking at Wang Dong with sincere eyes.
As if he were saying, they were both men, so what was wrong with taking a look?
Time trickled by little by little.
Wang Dong bit her lower lip hard, lowered her head, and tightly twisted the hem of her clothes in both hands.
For a long while, she could not say a single word.
She had truly been driven into a corner now.
She could not take it out.
Starting a fight would not be difficult, though.
But could this matter really be solved with a fight?
After quite a while.
Wang Dong finally raised her head as if she had decided to throw caution to the wind. Her face red, she glared viciously at Huo Yuhao.
"What are you looking at?!"
"Have you never seen a girl dressed as a boy before?!"
Since she could no longer keep up the act, she might as well come clean.
She put her hands on her hips, her exquisitely beautiful little face full of fierce arrogance.
"I'm warning you, you absolutely cannot reveal a single word of this to anyone else!"
"If you dare tell anyone, this young lady will definitely cut out your tongue!"
After delivering her threat.
Wang Dong snorted coldly, her expression returning to that spoiled, tsundere look as she brushed aside the pinkish-blue bangs on her forehead.
"Besides."
"You should be secretly celebrating that you get to live in the same dorm as a great beauty like me. Countless people would beg for an opportunity like this."
Looking at her arrogant, smug expression.
Huo Yuhao shook his head with complete seriousness.
"Then forget it."
Wang Dong froze for a moment. Her pinkish-blue eyes were filled with confusion as she instinctively asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean I'm going to report this to a teacher right now."
Huo Yuhao turned around directly and strode toward the dormitory door without the slightest hesitation.
Without looking back, he waved his hand.
"I'm applying to change dorms."
"I'd rather not have the privilege of living with a tigress."
Wang Dong was dumbfounded.
A... a tigress?
After a brief moment of shock, an indescribable fury shot straight to the top of her head.
This bastard.
Not only had he taken an enormous advantage of her, he even dared call her a tigress!
"HUO! YU! HAO!"
An enraged, delicate shout instantly exploded through the New Student Dormitory Building.
"I'm going to kill you today!"
Soon afterward, a chaotic commotion erupted from inside the dormitory.
