I Have the Advantage!
Soon, Xu Xingyu and his companions arrived at the entrance to the dormitory, where they found an old man reclining in a lounge chair.
"Hello, Grandpa. I'm a new student. Do I need to register before entering the dormitory?"
The old man raised his right hand and said, "Take out your dormitory keys and new student badges."
Hearing this, Xu Xingyu and Xu Yanxue handed their dormitory keys and badges to the old man.
After glancing at them, the old man said, "You're in room 108, the third room on the left on the first floor. The girl is in room 405, the first room on the right on the fourth floor. Remember, the fourth floor and above are girls' dormitories. Boys aren't allowed in."
"Understood."
After cupping their fists and thanking the old man, Xu Xingyu and his companions followed his directions to their respective rooms.
Watching them leave, the old man couldn't help muttering, "They're all polite children, but that boy is already attracting bees and butterflies at such a young age. He really reminds me of myself when I was young!"
Little did he know that Xu Xingyu had been suppressing his discomfort ever since seeing him, only relaxing completely once the two were some distance apart.
The moment he had seen the old man, he had recognized him.
He was Mu En, the current master of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion and the academy's only level 99 Limit Douluo. His title was Dragon God Douluo, and his Martial Soul was the Radiant Sacred Dragon.
Xu Xingyu had mixed feelings about Mu En. How should he put it? In theory, Mu En was one of Shrek Academy's few outstanding leaders, but that only applied to his later years.
Earlier in his life, because of the death of his grandson, who was also Bei Bei's father, he had saved Zhang Lexuan and then forced her to swear a poisonous oath to marry his great-great-grandson before he would help her take revenge.
It was also thanks to him that Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng had been forcibly branded a half-Evil Soul Master back then.
From this, one could see how thoroughly Mu En had been brainwashed by the so-called glory of Shrek.
Fortunately, a beast tide led Mu En to fight Du Bisou, the Body Sect's master at the time, and that fight completely changed Mu En's life.
Although the battle ended in Mu En's victory and Du Bisou's death, Mu En had also suffered such grievous injuries that his spine was damaged, leaving him unable to straighten his back ever again.
Yet it was only after that injury that Mu En began to reflect on the mistakes he had made in the past.
He no longer placed excessive importance on the so-called glory of Shrek, focusing instead on passing down its legacy.
For that reason, Xu Xingyu considered Mu En the most reasonable of all the Sea God Pavilion Masters.
Even so, Xu Xingyu felt some aversion toward Mu En, and that aversion was the discomfort he had been suppressing earlier.
But it wasn't prejudice from having read the original novel; it came from the rejection between their bloodlines.
In theory, Xu Xingyu's Dragon God Bloodline would at most make Mu En's Light Ascending Dragon Bloodline feel suppressed and compelled to submit.
But the problem was that Mu En's title was Dragon God. The Dragon God was not only Xu Xingyu's father in his previous life, but also the strongest god in the entire Soul Beast Clan.
Mu En was merely a Limit Douluo who had inherited an elder-level Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul. What right did he have to call himself the Dragon God?
If he were the Light Dragon King's successor and had the cultivation of a God King, then perhaps, with the Dragon God already dead, he could call himself the Dragon God.
After all, aside from Xu Xingyu, the main candidates to succeed the Dragon God back then had been the Light Dragon King and the Emerald Dragon King.
But Mu En was ultimately just a Limit Douluo, so when faced with a man who had insulted the title of Dragon God, Xu Xingyu's Dragon God Bloodline began to churn like boiling water.
If Xu Xingyu hadn't forcibly suppressed his bloodline power, he might have automatically unleashed his Dragon God Martial Soul and forced Mu En to kneel before him.
Although that would have felt pretty good, one had to bow one's head under another's roof. He didn't want to offend the Sea God Pavilion Master on his first day at school.
The Spirit Contract Pagoda behind Xu Xingyu might not fear Shrek, but one less trouble was better than one more.
He wasn't like that bunch at Shrek who believed a Soul Master who didn't stir up trouble wasn't a good Soul Master.
It was better not to be too petty, or it would make him seem terribly small-minded.
With that thought, Xu Xingyu arrived at his dormitory door, ready to meet his new roommate.
After he knocked, a cold voice from inside told him to come in. Xu Xingyu raised his key and entered the new home where he would spend the next few years.
When he opened the door, he saw a pink-and-blue-haired boy sitting on a bed with his eyes closed, wearing a cold, haughty expression.
The boy before him had delicate features and fair skin. His large eyes were unusual, a pale pinkish blue. His neat short hair was the same color. Though his handsome looks fell short of Xu Xingyu's, he was still among the very best-looking boys his age.
The pink-and-blue-haired boy spoke. "Looks like you're my new roommate? Let me make this clear: I have a few rules you need to remember. First, don't bring people back to the room whenever you please. Second, don't go around naked in the room and be an eyesore. Third, don't snore at night. Fourth, don't disturb me. Fifth, you're responsible for cleaning the room from now on, but don't touch my bed. As long as you follow these rules, I'll allow you to live with me. If you can't, get lost!"
Faced with the boy's warning, however, Xu Xingyu said nothing. Instead, he stared at him, dumbfounded, because he had recognized him.
When he had heard earlier that his room was number 108, Xu Xingyu had found it somewhat familiar. Wasn't this Huo Yuhao's room in the original novel? He had actually been assigned to it? Why was it so hard for him to have a peaceful school life?
The pink-and-blue-haired boy opened his eyes and said impatiently, "What's wrong with you? Are you mute? Why aren't you saying any-B-B-Brother Xingyu?!?!"
Xu Xingyu could only raise his right hand and say, "Long time no see, Dong'er."
Yes, the boy before him was actually a girl. Her true identity was Wang Dong'er, Tang San's daughter, whose memories he had sealed.
In the past, Tang San had brought Da Ming and Er Ming to ambush Xu Xingyu, only to be killed by Xu Xingyu after he fused with the Golden Dragon King's godhood.
Afterward, Xu Xingyu had used the Spirit Contract Pagoda to enslave Da Ming and Er Ming and taken the Clear Sky Sect as his subordinates.
After Xu Xingyu made contracts with everyone in the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San forced Da Ming and Er Ming to find a way to get Xu Xingyu engaged to his daughter, so he could buy time for his recovery.
At first, the two of them, forced into an engagement, hadn't been on particularly good terms. But as they spent time together, Wang Dong'er gradually fell for her fiancé, Xu Xingyu.
Thus, Wang Dong'er was delighted to have been assigned to the same room as Xu Xingyu.
This way, she could spend more time with Xu Xingyu and also prevent more thieving cats from appearing.
Wang Dong'er had originally disguised herself as a boy at Shrek Academy precisely so she could find a way to share a room with Xu Xingyu.
After all, her rivals in love at home-Gu Yuena and Xu Yanxue-were already more than she could handle.
The girls competing with her were no worse than she was in either beauty or talent!
If Xu Xingyu accidentally attracted someone else at Shrek Academy, she would be thanking heaven and earth if she could secure the position of a secondary wife by his side in the future.
Her original plan had therefore been to enroll disguised as a boy, then deliberately stir up conflict with her roommate so they would switch rooms. That way, she could find Xu Xingyu once he had successfully enrolled and ask him to switch rooms with her roommate.
Who would have thought Xu Xingyu was her roommate! This would save her a lot of trouble!
Was heaven telling her that she, Wang Dong'er, was the one destined for Xu Xingyu?
If so, I, Wang Dong'er, thank the gods in heaven for arranging all of this for me!
As long as she succeeded in sharing a room with Xu Xingyu for the next few years, her advantage would grow considerably!
As long as they were at Shrek Academy, Gu Yuena, the woman who posed the greatest threat to her, wouldn't be able to interfere with her fiancé for the next few years!
Her only enemies were Xu Yanxue and the little girls at Shrek.
I have the advantage this time! I'll definitely become Brother Xingyu's principal wife! The rest of you can obediently become secondary wives!
