Dreamwalking (Bonus Chapter)

Xuan Lao stood with his back to Wang Yan. "Save me a spot in the Ranking Tournament."

Wang Yan bowed. "Yes."

God Realm

Heaven-Peering Hall

Harpoon God King Tang San frowned.

"That house dog has slipped free of my schemes once again."

"But the fusion of those two auras is enough."

"Once you slowly fuse and your feelings deepen, then in the end... heh heh hahahahaha!"

"Huo Yuhao, you will never escape the palm of my hand. Be a good little house dog!"

Early morning

Inside the dormitory

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell over the two of them.

A clamor drifted in from outside.

"The weather is so nice today!"

"Let's go have breakfast!"

"Let's go watch today's Freshman Assessment!"

"..."

"Mm..."

Wang Dong slowly opened her beautiful, clear eyes.

"Mm... it's morning..."

"Feels like I slept for a long time..."

"Huh?!"

"Huo... Huo Yuhao? Th-this... what is..."

"Ahhh!! Th-this, what the hell is going on?!"

Wang Dong's cheeks flushed crimson as her emotions surged.

She did her best to keep herself from making a sound.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's peerlessly handsome face, Wang Dong's heart pounded wildly.

"He looks so good... This guy without his eyepatch... he's way too handsome!!"

"I really want to kiss him... Ahhh! What am I even thinking?!"

"Just one little kiss. He probably won't wake up... Then I'll just kiss him once."

Wang Dong squeezed her eyes shut, pursed her lips, and slowly leaned toward Huo Yuhao's face.

Her face was burning red, her breathing hurried, and her heartbeat quickened.

"Hey! What are you trying to do?"

Wang Dong abruptly opened her eyes and found Huo Yuhao staring straight at her.

"I-I-I-I-I..."

Wang Dong frantically shoved Huo Yuhao away, flailing her hands as she babbled incoherently.

"If I said I was sleepwalking, would you believe me?"

Huo Yuhao stretched lazily. "It'd better have been sleepwalking. Otherwise, I'm afraid my virtue won't survive the night when I'm asleep."

Wang Dong grabbed a pillow and unleashed the Chaotic Wind Pillow Technique on Huo Yuhao.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Yet every attack was stopped forty centimeters away from Huo Yuhao.

Ring ring ring!

The class bell rang.

"Oh no! Class has started!!"

"If we're late, we're dead!"

Wang Dong hurriedly got up and shouted.

Huo Yuhao began washing up without the slightest rush, but before he could even finish brushing his teeth, Wang Dong grabbed him by the hand and dragged him into a mad sprint.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't pull my clothes! I'm not even in a hurry to get to class!"

"Damn it! I'm late, so you have to be late too!"

"You're amazing! You're so noble!"

"..."

Freshman Class One

"Reporting in!"

"Wow—"

Xiao Xiao wondered, You two never came out yesterday. What exactly were you doing...?

"Lord Yuhao is here! Why are his clothes all disheveled?"

"There's still foam at the corner of his mouth. Don't tell me Wang Dong, that trashy guy, dragged him here by force!"

"That trashy guy is seriously unbearable. All he knows is how to disrupt Lord Yuhao's rest!"

"It's already class ti—"

"Shut up, trashy guy!"

"..."

Zhou Yi glanced at the yawning Huo Yuhao before asking,

"Hah... My dear class monitor, tell me, what exactly are you two doing?"

Unlike in the original story, Wang Dong was still the class monitor.

Wang Dong hurriedly explained,

"Uh... sorry, Teacher Zhou... We overslept..."

Zhou Yi chuckled upon hearing that. "Overslept? You two slept together?"

Wang Dong realized she had misspoken, and her face instantly turned scarlet. "Ah... we..."

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!"

The entire class burst into laughter.

Wang Dong lowered her head, her face red. So embarrassing! Damn Huo Yuhao! I'm definitely going to punish you hard!

I'll make you grill me a fish for free!

Beside her, Huo Yuhao stood with his hands in his pockets, looking as though it had nothing to do with him.

"Alright, alright." Zhou Yi waved her hand. "Go back to your seats. Class is starting."

Huh? She's letting us off that easily?

Wang Dong wondered.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao returned to their seats.

Zhou Yi placed both hands on the lectern and slowly said, "After three days, the Freshman Assessment has finally come to an end."

"The final results were compiled last night."

Zhou Yi revealed a rare smile. "Every one of you passed the assessment! Well done. I'm very pleased!"

"We passed!"

"Ahhh! That's great!"

"Awooo!"

"..."

The entire class cheered excitedly, with a few students even wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves.

They used it to vent the excitement in their hearts.

"Alright, alright, quiet down."

Once the class had quieted down, Zhou Yi continued.

"Passing the Freshman Assessment is only the beginning. You must not relax afterward!"

"The elimination rounds for the top sixty-four are the main event!"

"Remember this: the coming elimination rounds will be when you truly prove your excellence."

"During this assessment, only one team in our class achieved a perfect record."

"I originally wanted to give them a reward, but unfortunately, they were late today. Let their merits and faults cancel each other out!"

Wang Dong looked toward Huo Yuhao, who was eating a lollipop, reclining in his chair, and resting his crossed legs on the desk.

"Uh! Is she talking about us?"

"Wow! A perfect record!"

"Lord Yuhao is way too amazing!"

"Um, he seemed not to have made a single move during all three days of matches..."

"Shut up, trashy guy! I think you're just jealous of Lord Yuhao!"

"Wuwuwu, Huo Yuhao, us boys hate you!"

"..."

Wang Dong felt her soul power stir, and she thought, Why does it feel like something is tugging at my soul power? Why do I suddenly feel like hugging him again? So strange.

Huo Yuhao sensed that something was off.

He felt an intense sense of closeness.

It was as if they had formed a telepathic connection.

Tang San's move is quite formidable. No wonder the original Huo Yuhao was manipulated by him so easily.

With Martial Soul Fusion, the relationship between two people would advance by leaps and bounds.

They would become incredibly intimate.

Eventually, their feelings would become intertwined, their loyalty unwavering.

Their hearts would have no room for anyone else.

No wonder that guy Huo Yuhao in the original story never built a harem.

He had been completely controlled by this move and only loved Tang Wutong.

But now that the person had changed, this move had no effect on him.

With a thought, that inexplicable feeling vanished.

Wang Dong was utterly confused. "Why did it suddenly disappear? I thought it was about to work just now."

Bang!

Zhou Yi slammed her palm onto Wang Dong's desk.

"My dear class monitor! You get a tiny achievement and already start getting smug!"

"Put on your iron uniform and run laps until the dismissal bell rings!"

"And you, stop disrupting my class. Go wherever you want!"

With that, she threw Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao out of the classroom.

Huo Yuhao stretched. "I'm going to practice hand-to-hand combat with Senior Ma!"

"No!"

"You have to run laps with me!"

Wang Dong shouted furiously.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and refused. "No."

Wang Dong clenched her fists, looking thoroughly menacing.

"Y-you... what did you say?!"

"I'll beat you so badly that you won't be able to take care of yourself!!"
