Because Zhou Yi had been injured by Di Qiu'er, today's class came to an abrupt end.
Ye Chen and the others' Advancement Assessment was also postponed until tomorrow.
As Wang Dong and Ye Chen headed back to the dormitory, Wang Dong kept a long face the entire way.
She was clearly acting as if, if Ye Chen did not speak to her, she would never take the initiative to speak to him either.
Ye Chen felt quite helpless. What was wrong with this little princess? Could she be jealous?
So, Ye Chen took the initiative to ask.
"What's wrong, Wang Dong?"
Wang Dong turned her head angrily.
"Ye Chen, tell me. Is Di Qiu'er prettier, or am I prettier? Do you like her, or do you like me?"
Xiao Xiao, who was following behind them, froze in shock!
She immediately thought to herself.
Oh no! I think I just heard something incredible!
The class monitor and vice class monitor really are involved!
Th-this-this...
Xiao Xiao's gaze darted back and forth between Ye Chen and Wang Dong until her little head started spinning.
Wang Dong's words also left Ye Chen completely at a loss.
No, with your current identity and appearance, was it really appropriate to say that?
At the very least, wait until you become Wang Dong'er before saying it, okay?
"Hmph!"
Seeing Ye Chen's hesitant expression, Wang Dong stormed off by herself.
Leaving behind only a baffled Ye Chen and Xiao Xiao.
"Um, Class Monitor, why don't you go comfort Wang Dong?" Xiao Xiao suggested tentatively.
Then, when Xiao Xiao's gaze fell on Ye Chen's face.
She was surprised to discover that Ye Chen's skin and appearance both seemed far more handsome than before.
Even among girls, he would have ranked among the very best.
Perhaps it was because Ye Chen had not only awakened the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul, but had also absorbed the Snow Empress's Soul Spirit.
As a result, in terms of appearance, he was no less impressive than Tang Wulin from ten thousand years later or Lan Xuanyu from twenty thousand years later.
Just then, Ye Chen looked at Xiao Xiao.
"What's wrong, Xiao Xiao? Is there something on my face?"
The moment Xiao Xiao met Ye Chen's gaze, her face flushed red unconsciously.
"N-no, nothing. Class Monitor, I'll head back first."
With that, Xiao Xiao dashed back to the girls' dormitory.
Since the Advancement Assessment had not ended yet, their dormitory assignments had not changed.
After the Advancement Assessment ended, many students would leave Shrek Academy, leaving many rooms vacant.
At that time, the dormitories would be reassigned.
Meanwhile, within Ye Chen's Sea of Spirit.
Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Bibi Dong had already become much more familiar with one another.
Ice Empress and Snow Empress in particular were visiting the human world for the first time.
Naturally, they were full of curiosity.
"Ye Chen, is this Shrek Academy? Didn't they say there were lots of Soul Tools here? Where are they?"
Ice Empress was like a child with endless questions, constantly pestering him.
"Bing'er, look at you. Where is the dignity of one of the Three Great Kings of the Far North?" Snow Empress rebuked her.
"Snow Empress! Stop pretending. I know you're curious too; you just can't bring yourself to admit it!"
As she spoke, Ice Empress scooped the tiny Snow Empress into her arms.
"Snow Empress, aren't you even a little curious about the human world?" Ice Empress asked excitedly as she looked at the chubby Snow Woman in her arms.
"Hmph! What's there to be curious about? It's all pretty much the same." Snow Empress spoke, but her voice grew softer and softer.
"Come on, come on, Ye Chen. Hurry up and take us to see Shrek City." Ice Empress said with a grin.
Ye Chen had no choice but to leave Shrek Academy.
On the streets of Shrek City, he released Bibi Dong, Ice Empress, and Snow Empress from his Sea of Spirit.
How could you go shopping alone?
You needed a few people with you.
"Teacher, you've been wearing that outfit for quite a while, haven't you? How about we get you a new one?" Ye Chen said to Bibi Dong beside him.
"Th-that... all right."
It had to be said that ever since his close contact with Bibi Dong last time.
Ye Chen had discovered that Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall Pope from ten thousand years ago, truly had an incredible figure—those proud curves, those long legs.
Ye Chen thought to himself, What kind of clothes should I choose for Teacher? There are far too few styles in this Unrivaled era. It would have been better if this were the Dragon King Era...
Outside the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang's heart filled with resentment upon hearing those words. Why couldn't the one by Dong'er's side be me!?
Yu Xiaogang's words were overheard by Liu Erlong beside him.
"Dong'er, Dong'er again! Fine, Yu Xiaogang. If I ever speak to you again, I'll take your surname!"
The more Liu Erlong thought about it, the angrier she became. But she still could not bear to personally beat Yu Xiaogang up.
"I can't teach you a lesson, but can't I teach your disciple one?"
As she spoke, Liu Erlong prepared to gather Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others to give Tang San a "friendly spar" tomorrow!
As the saying went, when the teacher made a mistake, the disciple was punished!
If they did not loosen Tang San's bones a little, Yu Xiaogang would never learn his lesson!
(Tang San: ?? Am I part of your play?)
Elsewhere, Ice Empress seemed to have completely unleashed her childish nature, buying things nonstop on the streets.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong, who had returned to the dormitory, was still sulking.
"Hmph! Stupid Ye Chen, all he knows is how to stare at Di Qiu'er."
But after thinking it over carefully, it seemed perfectly normal for Ye Chen, as a boy, to be attracted to Di Qiu'er, right?
After all, Ye Chen did not know she was a girl.
"Hmph! Even so, I'm not going to take the initiative to apologize to Ye Chen." Wang Dong said haughtily in the dormitory.
As time passed second by second and Ye Chen still had not returned to the dormitory, Wang Dong gradually became anxious.
"Oh no, oh no. Ye Chen isn't angry at me, is he?"
"Should I... take the initiative and apologize...?"
With that thought, Wang Dong went out. But even after searching all of Shrek Academy, she could not find Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen... he isn't really angry, is he...?"
Wang Dong's feelings were complicated, so she simply waited at the dormitory entrance...
By the time Ye Chen and Ice Empress finished shopping and returned to Shrek Academy, it was already late at night.
There was almost no one in Shrek Academy at this hour. Everyone should have gone to rest.
Just as Ye Chen was about to return to the dormitory, he suddenly noticed someone at the entrance to the dormitory building.
A pinkish-blue-haired youth had been anxiously waiting there for a long time.
The moment she saw Ye Chen appear, she anxiously threw herself into his arms.
"Stupid Ye Chen, where did you run off to? Why haven't I seen you all day!"
Wang Dong choked out, tears shimmering in her eyes.
"I went out for a walk," Ye Chen replied.
"Ye Chen, I'm sorry. I... I shouldn't have gotten angry with you." Wang Dong lowered her head and spoke softly, looking exactly like a girl next door.
Seeing the once-proud Wang Dong actually take the initiative to apologize, what else could Ye Chen say?
"It's okay. Let's go back."
"By the way, how long have you been waiting at the entrance?" Ye Chen asked.
"N-not long." Wang Dong said, her eyes red-rimmed.
"Oh?" Ye Chen clearly did not believe her.
Just then, a voice sounded from not far away.
"She has been waiting at the entrance all day."
Ye Chen and Wang Dong instinctively looked toward the voice.
They discovered an old man lying beneath a large tree with his eyes closed.
"Senior!" Wang Dong was shocked. She had waited at the entrance all day and had not even noticed where the old man was.
"We understand." Ye Chen replied to the old man, then took Wang Dong's hand and returned to the dormitory.
Meanwhile, Ice Empress and Snow Empress in the Sea of Spirit both wore shocked expressions, because neither of them had noticed the old man.
Even Bibi Dong had failed to detect him without actively scanning their surroundings!
"Ye Chen, who exactly is that old man? He was actually able to evade my senses." Bibi Dong asked solemnly.
Bibi Dong's cultivation had already reached the level of a Limit Douluo. Even without actively investigating, by all rights, there should have been very few people in this world capable of evading her unconscious perception.
"That man is Shrek Academy's strongest expert, Dragon God Douluo Mu En. A level ninety-nine Limit Douluo. His Martial Soul is the Light Sacred Dragon," Ye Chen answered.
"As for why he could evade your senses, Teacher..." Ye Chen thought for a moment before speaking.
"Perhaps it's because you haven't condensed a Soul Core yet."
Outside the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang was once again bewildered upon hearing those words.
"No, there really is a Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul?"
"And what exactly is a Soul Core?"
