Please make her concede wholeheartedly by any means

"Huo Yudie..."

"That's such a lovely name."

Tang Wutong silently committed the name to memory. Looking at her bashful roommate, she was generous with her praise.

Yudie...

My Martial Soul is a butterfly, too.

She had to admit, she and her roommate really did seem bound by fate.

"Thank you."

"Your name is lovely too, Wu... Wutong."

Huo Yudie raised her head rather sheepishly and gave a shy smile, looking a little timid as she spoke with some reserve.

"Hahaha, okay!"

Taking in all of her restrained mannerisms, Tang Wutong could only think that the girl before her was far too adorable.

A little ditzy, too.

She seemed like she would be a very entertaining roommate.

"Oh, right, did you clean all of this yourself? Thanks for the hard work. It's spotless. You did a wonderful job..."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over their surroundings, and a gleam of delight flashed through her eyes.

Before coming, she had already known that the dorm rooms would be filthy when the new students moved in, and she had planned to give hers a thorough cleaning.

She had never expected to be able to move straight in with her bags, without even seeing what it looked like dirty.

"I just cleaned it while I was here."

Blushing, Huo Yudie waved her hands repeatedly. Shy as she was, how could she withstand such lavish praise?

"'Just cleaned it while I was here'... Now that's something you don't hear every day."

"Yudie, you probably haven't been here long either. Let's go look around together."

Surprise flickered across Tang Wutong's face before she looked at her with a bright smile and made the suggestion.

"Go look around?"

"I don't think I can. I still have to wait for my master to finish his business and come back. I can't wander off yet."

Hearing this, Huo Yudie gently shook her head and declined the suggestion.

An invitation from someone else was a rare opportunity she treasured. It would be a lie to say she did not want to go, but her master was still busy, after all. If he could not find her, he would worry.

"Your master?"

"Yudie, you don't need to worry about that. We might even run into your master outside. What do you think?"

Tang Wutong gave it some serious thought, then looked at the girl considerately and spoke in earnest.

"That does make sense..."

Listening to her, Huo Yudie wore an expression of agreement and quietly took those words to heart.

"Exactly!"

"We're going to be like sisters from now on. Come on, I'll take you out for a look around."

Smiling, Tang Wutong grabbed her hand, determined to help this shy, slightly silly roommate become more lively.

How could it do for such a little thing to be so shy?

At this rate, she might not even be able to find a boyfriend someday.

"Huh? Wu... Wutong, slow down."

Huo Yudie followed along, unable to keep herself from speaking up.

This girl called Wutong...

She seems so lively, and she's so pretty, too.

Feeling the sunshine radiating from her, the girl could not help growing a little wistful as those thoughts ran through her mind.

"This person..."

"She's far from ordinary."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice also rang out in her mind, carrying a faint note of delighted surprise.

"The instant my probing touched her, it was blocked outright. My spiritual power already exceeds the limits of the Douluo Continent, yet under that ocean-like pressure, I couldn't put up the slightest resistance."

The tiny form the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had taken in her spiritual sea wore a thoughtful expression as he spoke in astonishment.

His spiritual power was already beyond anything the people of the Douluo Continent could rival. He scarcely dared imagine what it meant for someone to surpass him.

The person before them likely had some connection to a god!

Is she an heir to a divine seat? Or something else...?

"She's that amazing?"

Huo Yudie clearly lacked the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's breadth of knowledge. Even after hearing all this, she did not grasp the gravity of the situation and merely replied with a smile.

She thought Wutong was extraordinary too. If even Brother Sky Dream felt the same, then there could be no mistake.

"I wonder when Yudie will come out."

Meanwhile, Chu Ge stood at the dormitory entrance, unable to advance or retreat. Had it been someone else, things would have been simpler, but the problem was that his little Yudie was a girl.

The girls' dormitory was clearly not somewhere he could enter.

"And I wonder whether Wang Dong will still appear on the Douluo Continent this time."

A thoughtful look crossed Chu Ge's face before giving way to helplessness. Come to think of it, that girl had led a bitter life too.

In the original story, Tang San had split Tang Wutong's soul into several pieces to carry out his "dog-training" plan: Wang Dong, Wang Qiu'er, Tang Wutong...

By the end, she did not even know which one was truly herself.

Then there was the matter of merging with the Auspicious Beast. If her earlier self could still be said to retain traces of who she was, was she truly still herself after becoming that amalgamation?

"Master, this is Wutong, my roommate."

"Wutong, this is my master."

Huo Yudie introduced them to each other, a happy smile never leaving her face. Wutong had been right! They really had run into her master here.

Tang Wutong and Chu Ge, however, were nowhere near as composed as she was.

This is Yudie's master?

He's so young.

Tang Wutong's gaze landed on Chu Ge. Surprise showed on her face, and she could not help stealing a few more looks.

Young. Far too young.

And how could he be so handsome?!

When she first heard the word "master," she had imagined an elderly man, or perhaps an auntie-like woman. For all her guesses, she had never expected someone like him.

A man this young hardly looked like a master. She would not have been surprised if someone called him Yudie's older brother. As for her boyfriend...

Honestly, that was not impossible either, though it might be a little criminal.

"Yudie, and..."

"Tang Wutong?"

Yet as Chu Ge looked at the two girls before him, his gaze froze somewhat, especially when it fell on Tang Wutong.

Tang Wutong?

He had never expected that, without Huo Gua, she would not only descend to the Douluo Continent but also appear at Shrek Academy openly as a girl-and become Yudie's roommate...

"This is good, too."

"At least there won't be any cutting someone's soul apart and fusing it back together."

Chu Ge's expression soon calmed. Sure enough, with Yudie as a precedent, the butterfly effect no longer surprised him much.

Tang Wutong's direct appearance did not shock him excessively either, but his expression soon turned strange...

This system mission was a little unreasonable.

[Novice host, you have incurred the hostility of Tang San's daughter. Although your cultivation is still far below hers, you must not lack the courage to fight. Please defeat her by any means.]

[Please make her concede wholeheartedly.]

[Note: This mission has no time limit. The host may prepare the best means of completing it at any time.]

Chu Ge simply ignored the melodramatic descriptions about hostility and his cultivation being inferior to hers. Even so, the mission still left him somewhat bewildered.

"Make Tang Wutong concede wholeheartedly by any means?"

Looking at the blue-haired beauty staring eagerly at him, her face full of curiosity, Chu Ge wore a thoughtful expression.

So, in other words...

I have to make a move against this cute little girl?
