Yan Shaozhe barely managed to come to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Suitable, of course it's suitable."
Judging from this trend, they spent time killing a ten-thousand-year-old spirit-type Soul Beast.
Spirit-type Soul Beast are hard to find, let alone ten-thousand-year-old ones. Even with the academy's help, a single vacation would be too much of a challenge.
At this point, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
If only he hadn't spoken so soon at the Sea God Pavilion.
Who would have thought that Huo Yutong would actually transform into a top genius!
The key point is that he made that vow in front of Mu En. He knows that his teacher hates people who break their promises the most. If he were to go back on his word like this, he would be scolded to death.
Now he's stuck in a rut, unable to move forward or backward. He can only watch helplessly as such a top-tier genius is wasted by the Soul Tool Department. This sense of frustration is so intense that it's like he's wearing a mask of pain.
He turned his gaze to Wang Dong'er.
"So, Wang Dong'er, what's going on with you? Since our college has tacitly approved of your concealment of your gender, we will continue to ignore it. Are you now going to renege on your promise by revealing your true gender?"
Wang Dong'er nodded.
"Yes, I want to move to the girls' dormitory."
Yan Shaozhe glanced at Lin Xi, a playful look appearing on his face.
"Why? As far as I know, you and Lin Xi are roommates. Did he sexually harass you?"
"... If only he could really do that."
"Oh?"
Hearing Wang Dong'er's somewhat resentful reply, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but glance at Lin Xi approvingly again.
He had only meant to make a joke, but he didn't expect Wang Dong'er to make such a significant statement.
Good lad, both girls here clearly like him, he's quite the popular guy.
However, Yan Shaozhe understood this. Lin Xi was handsome, had a good temper, was strong, and mature. No one of her peers could compare to her.
Unlike Yan Shaozhe, Huo Yutong's gaze towards Wang Dong'er suddenly intensified.
She had a bad feeling when she saw Wang Dong'er, dressed as a girl, accompanying Lin Xi out of the dormitory building, and now she was even more certain of her suspicions.
Like Huo Yutong, Wang Dong'er had been avoiding her feelings throughout the previous semester. However, Huo Yutong avoided them because of her social status, while Wang Dong'er was simply shy.
I never expected her to say something like that.
Why didn't Lin Xi give her a severe beating? Is this girl the type who gets more excited the more she's tortured?
Under Huo Yutong's intense gaze, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
She knew all too well how extreme Huo Yutong's feelings for Lin Xi were; she wondered if Huo Yutong would kill her on the way back.
However, some things must be made clear now, since they're bound to clash sooner or later anyway, and she needs to act as soon as possible.
Wang Dong'er took a deep breath and said:
" Dean Yan, the reason I want to change back to being a girl is because I want to pursue Lin Xi as a girl."
"...?!"
"...!!"
"...(stare--)"
The scene fell silent immediately.
Huo Yutong's eyes were practically murderous.
Lin Xi looked at Wang Dong'er speechlessly.
He truly hadn't expected this guy to pull something like that.
Is this girl thinking that since she's already been shameless once, she might as well just keep being shameless forever?
Is this what they mean by "shamelessness either happens zero times or countless times"?
Yan Shaozhe revealed a playful smile and teased Lin Xi:
" Lin Xi, you're quite something, aren't you going to respond?"
"Lin Xi doesn't need to answer such questions." Before Lin Xi could figure out how to handle the situation, Huo Yutong stepped forward and said firmly, "We are students now; this is not the time to think about these things."
Lin Xi glanced at Huo Yutong gratefully.
As expected of Yutong, she has a good eye for people. As soon as she saw him in a dilemma, she immediately stepped in to help him out.
At this moment, he did not realize that Huo Yutong dreamed of putting him in a "dilemma" as the person she wanted to be.
Yan Shaozhe quickly raised his hand to comfort him.
"Hey, don't be angry, I didn't mean to match them up, I was just joking."
Looking at Huo Yutong's murderous gaze, Yan Shaozhe felt a mixture of envy and sympathy for Lin Xi.
Given the current situation, Asura battle is practically inevitable.
His messy affairs with Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er back then were already big enough and gave him enough headaches. Lin Xi's situation is not much better than his back then.
He chuckled softly and said to Lin Xi and the others:
"Okay, I understand the situation. I'll handle it. You can all go back and rest now."
At this point, he seemed to recall something amusing and teased, "..."
" Lin Xi, Wang Dong'er's dorm situation won't be resolved until tomorrow. You'll still have to share a room with her tonight. Don't lose control of your desires!"
You can shut up now!
Wang Dong'er wailed inwardly.
Huo Yutong's killing intent was almost solidifying.
She is now seriously considering whether she can survive the night.
Before Bie Lin Xi could even win Huo Yutong, she was assassinated.
Lin Xi shook her head speechlessly.
"Don't worry, Dean, I already knew her gender. She wouldn't do such a thing."
It's true that people see things differently depending on their own perspective. Yan Shaozhe was a playboy in his youth. So in his eyes, since Wang Dong'er had already shown such affection for Lin Xi, it would be worse than being an animal not to do something.
Little did he know that it was actually Lin Xi who first suggested changing dorm rooms.
Lin Xi and the others left Yan Shaozhe's office and went outside.
Huo Yutong cast a faint glance at Wang Dong'er.
" Wang Dong, what do you mean by this?"
She needs an explanation.
Lin Xi is definitely fine, so the problem must lie with Wang Dong'er.
Wang Dong'er took a deep breath.
Hold on, don't be afraid.
"It's exactly as I said, literally. Also, please call me Wang Dong'er; that's my real name."
"Really?" Huo Yutong raised an eyebrow, looked at Lin Xi, and asked apologetically, "Lin... Lin Xi, could you leave for a moment? Wang Dong'er and I have some private matters to discuss."
Lin Xi smiled gently.
"Of course, no problem, you guys chat."
After saying that, he turned and left first.
Anyway, given the current situation, it's impossible for Wang Dong'er to connect with Yutong like in the original story. She also can't beat Yutong, so Lin Xi has nothing to worry about.
However, he couldn't help feeling somewhat melancholy.
Yutong was already saying things she didn't want him to hear. It seemed that as siblings grew older, the distance between them gradually widened.
Unbeknownst to him, just as he stepped out of the two women's sight, Huo Yutong stepped forward and, before Wang Dong'er could even react, poked her neck with her finger.
Do you know why I was so unhappy with what you just said?
