Huo Yuhao's Macho Roommate, Long San

"Sure~"

Wang Dong agreed without hesitation, then suddenly hesitated. "Wait, though. I remember each dorm has two people. Would your roommate agree? Switching dorms doesn't seem to be allowed..."

"Don't worry. As long as we offer a suitable price and give my roommate some compensation, the Academy won't say anything if he accepts. If he doesn't, we can always find somewhere else to cultivate together later."

"I just think the dorm is more suitable. We can go straight to sleep after cultivating."

Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go quickly. Classes have just ended, so your roommate should be heading back to the dorm. Let's ask whether he can switch dorms with me."

Wang Dong was delighted, even a little impatient.

Although he was a "girl," he was actually more than willing to share a dorm and sleep with a boy like Ye Chen.

At the very least, it would be far better than Huo Yuhao, that dense idiot!

Although Huo Yuhao was diligent and capable, keeping the dorm spotless, he simply was not Wang Dong's type.

After cultivating, Huo Yuhao always smelled sweaty and foul.

How could he compare to Ye Chen's fragrance~

Of course, most importantly, if he slept with Ye Chen, he could mooch off Ye Chen's Secret Art every day!

This was cultivation at ten times the speed!

One hour of cultivation was equivalent to ten hours!

And Wang Dong was rather lazy. Accumulating ten hours would take him at least four or five days.

One hour was equal to four or five days of his cultivation. Just thinking about it made him excited!

The two left the lounge.

The other students had also gradually finished their physical training class, and most had already left the training ground.

Ye Chen and Wang Dong walked side by side toward the dorms.

"Oh, right. We're not even in the same class. Aren't you afraid I'll surpass you if you help me cultivate like this?" Wang Dong asked, his steps light as he tilted his head toward Ye Chen.

"It would be best if you had that ambition. We should meet during the Freshman Competition." Ye Chen gave Wang Dong a half-smiling glance.

"No, no, no... I was just joking. Don't hit me during the Freshman Competition... I'm scared of pain..." Wang Dong immediately backed down and hastily shrank his neck.

He could handle a Soul Elder, but against Ye Chen, he would only end up getting beaten senseless.

Besides, although he had not witnessed Ye Chen's fight that day, he had heard plenty about how fierce Ye Chen was.

If he took a punch, his handsome face might be ruined...

That was absolutely unacceptable.

"Haha~"

Ye Chen laughed heartily.

Most of Wang Dong's mannerisms were still like a girl's. He smelled sweet, looked delicate and soft, and even had a rather perky butt.

One look was enough to tell he was a girl disguised as a boy.

Only an iron-headed fool like Huo Yuhao could fail to notice.

Meanwhile.

Dormitory 108.

"Wang Dong? Wang Dong, are you back?"

Huo Yuhao opened the dorm room door and found the room empty. For some reason, a sense of loss rose in his heart, as if he were about to lose something important...

He remembered that after Wang Dong caught up with Ye Chen from Class Nine, the two had run off quickly.

His stamina had been too poor. During the latter half of class, he had been dizzy and muddled, and had not seen where Ye Chen and Wang Dong went at all.

He had thought Wang Dong would return first, so he had hurried back to treat him to Grilled Fish.

But unexpectedly, Wang Dong still had not returned.

"Where did he go..."

Huo Yuhao scratched his head, completely baffled.

Since he could not figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. Huo Yuhao did not dwell on it and quickly gathered his things to go sell Grilled Fish.

Tang Ya was already urging him downstairs.

As for Wang Dong...

Well, Wang Dong was always so mysterious. It was normal for him to disappear sometimes.

It was not as though he had switched dorms, right?

Huo Yuhao tossed the thought aside, packed up his tools, and scampered downstairs, shouting as he ran, "Teacher Xiaoya, I'm coming! Wait for me..."

Huo Yuhao had barely left when Ye Chen and Wang Dong arrived.

After entering the dormitory area, Ye Chen noticed that old man Mu En did not seem to be around today.

Then again, Mu En had things to do. He had to eat, drink, and relieve himself too. He could not possibly squat here twenty-four hours a day eavesdropping. Otherwise, the old man would be way too damn perverted.

Good thing the old man isn't here. Switching dorms might have been troublesome otherwise, Ye Chen thought to himself.

Mu En definitely knew that Wang Dong was a girl disguised as a boy. If Ye Chen switched dorms, old man Mu En might very well stop him.

Now that old man Mu En was absent, things were much more convenient for Ye Chen.

The two headed toward Ye Chen's dorm to see whether his roommate was there.

As for persuading Huo Yuhao to switch dorms with Ye Chen, that was basically impossible.

Huo Yuhao was upright and resolute, never accepting bribes. Moreover, he was close with Wang Dong, so naturally he would not switch dorms over a little money.

And if Ye Chen took a hard-line approach, Huo Yuhao's iron-headed personality would probably make him fight Ye Chen to the death. Even if Ye Chen beat Huo Yuhao up, he would gain nothing from it.

There was no helping it. That was just the personality of a Child of Destiny—neither swayed by kindness nor intimidated by force. The harder you were, the harder he would be!

In other words, utterly iron-headed.

As long as he believed something was right, he would charge ahead without regard for his life. He loved courting death.

At the Immortal-Facing Twofold Zen, he had courted death with the auspicious beast and been rescued.

Later, in the Sun Moon Empire, he had started courting death again, forcing the auspicious beast to sacrifice itself.

But he had a weakness too: he feared his wife.

He had willingly put on a dog collar for her...

Ye Chen soon arrived at his own dorm, Dormitory 112. This was actually his first time coming to his dorm.

"Click~"

The key opened the door, and a peculiar smell rushed at them. It was not particularly foul, but it was rather strong.

Inside the room, a burly boy wearing only a sports tank top sat on the bed, cultivating quietly.

Most male students at Shrek Academy came from noble families, with few common-born students among them. They generally cared about hygiene, so naturally none of them were excessively slovenly.

Ye Chen did not recognize him. He was probably from another class.

The sound of the door opening startled the other boy awake.

"Hm, roommate?"

The boy looked curiously at Ye Chen. Ye Chen had a key in his hand, so he was clearly his roommate.

He was merely curious. School had started so long ago, so why was his roommate only showing up now? And he did not seem to be from the same class either.

Still, the boy got to his feet.

Once he got off the bed, Ye Chen realized that this macho man was truly imposing. Despite his young age, he was already two meters tall.

"So tall..."

Wang Dong slightly raised his head to look at him. He himself was already over 1.7 meters tall, while Ye Chen was only 1.8 meters.

Yet this guy was not only burly, but so tall as well...

Just what the hell had this guy eaten to grow like that???

"Hello, I'm Ye Chen."

Ye Chen took the initiative to extend his hand with a smile.

"Hehe, hello. I'm Long San." The burly man also extended his hand and shook Ye Chen's.

PS1: "Long San" is merely a cameo name. This novel will not go for tasteless jokes, lest it get banned. My previous novel had several chapters banned after I wrote about Huo Yuhao and macho Long San **.

PS2: Only the protagonist knows Wang Dong is a girl disguised as a boy; no one else knows. Wang Dong is currently seen as male by most people. To avoid confusion, Wang Dong will be referred to as "he" in the early parts of the story.
