Chu Chen pushed open the door. Everyone in the dorm was sound asleep.

Dorm Seven was pitch-black, but with Chu Chen's Soul Force, sensing what was inside was easy enough.

Apart from Chu Chen and Wang Sheng, nine people lay in the dorm's beds. For some reason, two of them had pushed their single beds together and were sharing them like a double bed.

To Chu Chen's spiritual senses, those two stood out like the only candle flames in the dark.

Little Scumbag and the Rabbit Spirit!

They had grown up in the same village. There was no way Chu Chen would mistake Little Scumbag's spiritual presence.

As for the one beside him, her spiritual presence was distinctly unlike a normal human's. She had to be Xiao Wu, the Rabbit Spirit.

In the original story, they shared a bed because they were short a quilt. Fine. But they have enough bedding now, so why are they still sleeping together?

Do they not know boys and girls shouldn't be that close?

Is it because Little Scumbag is half human, half beast, with Blue Silver Grass in his blood, so the Rabbit Spirit feels at home with him?

No, that doesn't make sense either. Soft Bone Rabbits eat Blue Silver Grass...

Chu Chen grumbled to himself and stood still for a moment.

Wang Sheng noticed and assumed the room was too dark, so he switched on the light for Chu Chen.

Most of the dorm stayed fast asleep, but the light woke two people.

One was Little Scumbag, who had been a Tang Sect disciple in his previous life. The other was the Rabbit Spirit, a Soul Beast in human form who had slipped into the human world.

They had one thing in common: both remained wary in an unfamiliar place.

The moment the light changed, both opened their eyes and looked toward the door. Both their expressions changed.

Little Scumbag looked guarded at first, then gritted his teeth.

"Chu Chen... You just won't leave me alone, will you? Do you have to follow me everywhere?"

The Rabbit Spirit looked wary too, then knitted her brows.

"What are you two doing, turning on the light in the middle of the night? Have you no consideration for anyone else?"

"Consideration? You're one to talk."

Chu Chen ignored Little Scumbag's dark expression and fixed Xiao Wu with a cold stare.

"You're lying on bedding you stole, under a quilt you stole, and you're asking their owner to be considerate?"

"I didn't steal them. I requisitioned them!"

Xiao Wu lifted her chin and retorted as if it were only natural.

"I don't have new bedding, so what's wrong with using yours for a bit? You can buy more tomorrow."

"Besides, I'm the boss of this dorm. Call me Sister Xiao Wu, and I'll look out for you. Think of the bedding as a protection fee—"

"Get off my bedding."

Chu Chen cut her off.

He hadn't raised his voice, and his tone barely changed, but Wang Sheng could tell he was genuinely angry.

"Y-you said what?"

Xiao Wu froze and pointed at herself.

"Come on, you're a boy. Are you really going to fuss over something this small with a girl?"

"Like hell I am!"

Chu Chen's voice rose slightly. He sprang to the bed, seized Xiao Wu's arm, and yanked.

"Taking things without asking makes you a thief. Get out, you ill-mannered little thief!"

Before he had even finished speaking, Xiao Wu felt herself hauled out from under the quilt by an immense force. Suddenly, she was hanging in midair.

Before she could react, Chu Chen let go.

No—he didn't let go. He flung her.

The Rabbit Spirit sailed through the air in a distinctly ungraceful arc, shrieking all the way out the dorm door!

"Chu Chen! You've gone too far! How can a man bully a girl?"

At the sight of Xiao Wu, whom he had only just met, being thrown out the door, a strange anger flared in Tang San's chest.

He found courage from somewhere, pointed at Chu Chen, and cursed him.

Smack! Smack!

Two familiar slaps were his answer.

"Damned Little Scumbag. You thought I wasn't talking about you too?"

Chu Chen had only just broken through to a new stage, and his hands were a little heavier than usual. Two slaps left Tang San's vision black.

When Tang San could see again, he discovered he had been dragged out of bed too and was flying through the air.

His destination... the dorm door, of course!

"You bastard! How dare you attack me from behind!"

A furious shout came from outside. Before the words had faded, Xiao Wu charged back into the dorm with her fist raised.

Clearly, she had come back to fight Chu Chen. Unfortunately, someone was in her way.

Xiao Wu froze at the sight of Tang San flying toward her. In her panic, she threw a punch on instinct and struck him square in the face.

Thud! Part of Tang San's face caved in. Blood and several broken teeth sprayed from his mouth as he spun twice in the air, then slammed back to the floor.

"Pfft..."

Chu Chen couldn't help laughing.

The whole thing was too absurd.

He had thrown Little Scumbag out, and Xiao Wu had punched him right back in. He was practically a human punching bag—and he'd lost a few more teeth!

After their fight in Holy Soul Village, Tang San probably didn't have many teeth left.

Luckily, Tang San was only six and hadn't lost his baby teeth yet. Otherwise, who knew whether anyone on the Douluo Continent even sold dentures?

Xiao Wu, the one who had thrown the punch, stood stunned too. She looked at the blood on her fist, then at Tang San's miserable figure on the floor. Embarrassment and panic flickered across her face.

But she recovered quickly, whipping her head up to glare at Chu Chen as she tried to cover her mistake with anger.

"W-what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Wu's cheeks reddened, but she held her chin high.

"You caught me off guard just now. Fight me fair and square if you've got the guts. Whoever wins becomes the boss of Dorm Seven!"

Before she finished speaking, she was already moving.

Xiao Wu rushed at Chu Chen, ducked low, and whipped her right leg toward his waist, the kick slicing through the air.

The kick was fast and vicious. She had clearly put Soul Power into it. If anyone else in the dorm had taken that hit, they would likely have gone down on the spot.

But who was Chu Chen?

He could overpower a Soul Grandmaster at the Fifth Stage of Dou Qi. Now that he had reached the Sixth Stage of Dou Qi, handling one female rabbit would be a breeze.

Chu Chen merely shifted aside and lifted his left hand, casually catching Xiao Wu's ankle.

Xiao Wu felt tremendous force clamp around her leg. Her right leg was trapped; she could neither push forward nor pull back.

"That's it?"

"You seemed pretty bold when you stole my bedding."

Chu Chen raised an eyebrow, his mockery plain.

Then a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Under Xiao Wu's horrified gaze, he lifted his leg and drove a kick straight between her legs.

"I told you to get lost. Did you lose your way?"
