Inside the dormitory building, the door to Room 108 was already open. Cao Yu stopped, realizing that his spoiled, headstrong roommate had arrived.
With a chuckle, Cao Yu strode inside with a swagger that acknowledged neither kith nor kin.
A youth about his age stood in the room, but in terms of handsome looks, he was not even half Cao Yu's equal.
You're putting on a pretty convincing act.
Chuckling inwardly in amusement, he began looking the youth over without restraint. He had to admit that this figure was quite good, with curves where there should be curves. Even dressing as a boy could not hide them.
Especially that skin, so temptingly fair and tender. Those long legs made the trousers look a little short, exposing pale ankles.
Those legs... I could play with them for a year.
What a waste not to wear a skirt!
Noticing Cao Yu's brazen gaze, the youth frowned and said angrily, "Are you sick or something?"
"Yes, and you're my medicine!"
Urgh~ That was so greasy. I just grossed myself out!
Cao Yu's stomach churned. It seemed he had been thoroughly poisoned by things he had learned online!
The youth's face instantly flushed, and then he sprang off the bed as though startled.
Whoosh.
His body shot toward Cao Yu like an arrow. That was fast.
"A sneak attack!"
"No martial virtue!"
Just as a lightning-fast whipping kick was about to reach Cao Yu's face, a pair of hands abruptly caught it. Before the youth could react, Cao Yu shouted.
"Freeze!"
Cao Yu used the Weak Immobilization Technique without hesitation. For the next eight minutes, his opponent would have no way to break free.
So what could he do in that brief span of time?
And so, right before the youth's eyes, Cao Yu began taking big bites of an Immortal Peach.
Mm, this Immortal Peach tasted pretty good.
The youth shouted with difficulty, "What did you do! Why can't I move?"
No matter how the youth struggled, he kept feeling some inexplicable force counteracting it.
Before long, a sense of helplessness arose in the youth's heart. This was his first encounter with anything so uncanny.
Cao Yu patted his shoulder and said unhurriedly, "Sorry, you looked pretty worked up just now. I happen to have an Immortal Peach here, and I've only taken one bite. Have some too. Cool off."
"Here, have some." Cao Yu offered him the Immortal Peach in his hand.
"Right, my name's A Yu. I'll be your roommate from now on."
Cao Yu continued, "They all call me Brother Yu. Come on, have some. Don't be shy."
The youth's face reddened with pent-up frustration as he shouted coldly, "Let me go."
But Cao Yu paid him no attention, withdrawing his hand and eating the Immortal Peach on his own.
Cao Yu smiled even more happily. "You're such a loser."
"Get lost! Just you wait. I'll make you pay."
The youth did not give him a pleasant look. If not for being restrained by this bizarre ability, could the person before him still act so arrogant?
Seeing the youth like this, Cao Yu felt rather like a big cat toying with a mouse. Thoroughly pleased, he leaned close to his face.
"From the sound of it, you're pretty brave!"
"Not bad-looking, either. Pretty fair."
The youth was furious but had nowhere to vent it. Suddenly, a warm breath brushed his earlobe, making it itch as he seethed.
How dare he!
The youth had never been bullied by anyone growing up. Apart from his parents, no one had ever dared get so close to him!
The youth's face grew even redder, clearly from anger.
Yet the other person still refused to let him off and continued mocking him.
"How old are you, still getting so shy?"
Then Cao Yu suddenly turned serious. "Stand straight. Five minutes of military... drill!"
"With that rotten temper of yours, it looks like you need some counseling."
"Remember! From now on, all the cleaning in this dorm is your responsibility! And you'll call me Brother Yu. Got that?"
His arrogant manner made the youth shout even more furiously, "Impossible!"
But before he could react, there was a thump, and his backside felt as though it had hit the ground. Though it did little damage, it was like a match, igniting all the anger in the youth's heart.
Looking at the thick book in his hand, Cao Yu smiled smugly.
"Will you agree or not?"
"Get lost!"
Another thump!
Without much force behind it, the book flew out again to deliver its greeting.
"Will you agree or not?"
The youth shouted through gritted teeth, "Not! A! Chance!"
After who knew how many minutes, Cao Yu said again, "Will you agree or not!"
"No... I... I agree." Seeing that book about to fall again, the youth hurriedly changed his tune.
"Very good. I'll let you off this time. Remember to be more polite to your Brother Yu next time, or I'll teach you a palm technique that descends from the heavens. You won't be so lucky then."
In truth, the book did not do much damage. The youth simply felt deeply humiliated, and with the endless torment on top of that, he felt that even his will was about to crumble.
The instant the immobilization technique wore off, the youth abruptly dropped to his knees. Cao Yu happened to be standing right before him.
"Rise, my beloved subject. How could you offer me such a grand salute?"
"Here, I'll help you up. It's no big deal."
"You..."
The youth was just about to erupt when he saw the other person give him a meaningful glance, full of warning. His anger instantly subsided, and he dared not make a sound.
Cao Yu pulled him up, then helped pat the dust off him.
The youth stared at him in shock. Wasn't he supposed to thoroughly mock him next? Why had he suddenly become so nice?
That little gesture from Cao Yu instantly softened his villainous image somewhat in the youth's mind.
Looks like this person isn't that bad.
But what he did not know was that the person he faced was a Boss Cao well accustomed to navigating the jianghu.
Give someone a beating, then offer a few sweet dates. Cao Yu was already fairly practiced at applying this approach.
Although Cao Yu already knew his name, he still pretended to ask, "Hey, kid, what's your name?"
"Introduce yourself, at least. After all, we'll be living together from now on. Whether we look up or down, we're bound to see each other, right?"
Still unaccustomed to his change in manner, the youth stammered, "I... my name's Wang... Wang Dong."
Cao Yu smiled. "Oh~ Old Wang next door. I know all about that!"
If I didn't know you were a girl disguised as a boy, I'd switch dorms right away.
After all, living with Old Wang next door wouldn't put my mind at ease!
Of course, if you're a girl disguised as a boy, it's fine. Who cares what your surname is? Everyone in the dorm is a brother. We'll bare our chests and speak frankly. We're all grasshoppers on the same boat.
When the boat sinks, we'll fall into the river of love together, and from then on, boyfriends and girlfriends will come assigned.
"Heh! I have to say, Tang San really is a good father-in-law."
It would have been fine if he had not brought this up, but once he did, Cao Yu grew excited.
Such a perfectly good daughter, given away for free, and even personally assigned to her future son-in-law.
Where else could anyone find such a wonderful father-in-law?
At any rate, Cao Yu had never encountered one in his original world. Otherwise, would he have remained single since birth for so long before transmigrating?
"Once I become a god, I'll make a huge gold trophy for my father-in-law Tang San."
"I'll engrave it with-World's Best Father-in-Law."
"Hahahaha! Interesting."
PS: If this book can reach the top fifty on the new book rankings (it's currently at 108), I'll add an extra update. In other words, there'll be three updates that day.
If it keeps climbing, say into the top ten, I'll add two extra updates that day!!
Of course, no pressure. This author is just setting a little goal: earn myself a... (doge)
