Chapter 6: Saying No with the Mouth, but the Body Is Very Honest
The first thing to surge up in her heart was a wave of shame and anger. Xiao Wu subconsciously lowered her head and glanced at herself.
'Too small? Completely undeveloped?'
Xiao Wu was so angry that her cheeks puffed up, her delicate fists clenched tightly.
'What kind of eyes does this guy Lin Yuan have?!'
'This young lady is naturally beautiful! Just give me time—I'll definitely become a peerless, nation-toppling beauty!'
'And 'what a pity I don't have a lolicon fetish'? Who wants your lolicon fetish anyway! Pervert!'
If those lines merely made her angry—
Then the final sentence in the diary sent her plunging straight into an icy abyss, as if all the blood in her body froze solid in an instant!
[Anyway, Xiao Wu is already used to being the big sister in the Star Dou Forest.]
Boom!
Those words were like a bolt of thunder on a clear day, ruthlessly striking Xiao Wu right on the crown of her head.
Her lively, expressive eyes were now filled with sheer, uncontrollable terror.
'Star Dou Forest… big sister…'
'How does he know?!'
This secret was her greatest trump card—and also her deadliest weakness!
The reason she dared to transform and re-cultivate in the human world was precisely because Da Ming and Er Ming had assured her that as long as she didn't actively release her soul beast aura, even a Soul Douluo might not be able to see through her true form at a glance!
But now?
She had just stepped through the door!
She hadn't even had time to introduce herself yet!
And this man called Lin Yuan had already laid her entire background bare!
He even knew her status in the forest clearly!
'How is this possible…?'
'Could it be that what he wrote earlier in the diary is true? That he's some kind of 'transmigrator'?'
'And the world I'm in is nothing more than a 'scripted world' written by someone else?'
If that were the case, wouldn't that mean that every move she made—even her future—was under this man's control?
After the extreme terror passed, Xiao Wu's survival instinct forced her brain into overdrive.
She lifted her head in panic, her gaze darting around the dormitory.
In the end, her eyes locked onto the black-clad youth sitting in the corner, casually tidying his bedding.
Looking at Lin Yuan's handsome, refined profile—tinged with a hint of cold detachment—Xiao Wu's heart was in complete turmoil.
'He calls me a rogue rabbit and says I haven't grown up yet. If I make him unhappy, will he just grab me and turn me into a braised rabbit? Or maybe a spicy rabbit head?'
The thought alone made Xiao Wu shiver violently.
But then, her bizarre train of thought suddenly latched onto a blind spot.
'Wait—that's not right!'
'If he really despised me, if he truly had zero interest in me, then why would he deliberately come to Dorm Seven?'
'With his terrifying ability to see through my true form, even without going to the Spirit Hall, he could easily enter a much better academy. Why hole up in some backwater place like Nuoding City?'
Xiao Wu blinked, her expression gradually turning strange.
'And the diary even deliberately emphasized not having a lolicon fetish. Humans have a saying for that, don't they?'
'An explanation is a cover-up. A cover-up means it's true!'
'Who knows if he's just saying one thing while thinking another?'
Xiao Wu felt like she had uncovered the truth.
Even if this was Lin Yuan's inner monologue written in a diary, some things—even when you know others can't see them—people still lie to themselves for the sake of face.
'Hmph! If Lin Yuan really doesn't have a lolicon fetish, then with his talent, why would he insist on coming to Nuoding Academy?'
'He's definitely here for me!'
'Saying no with the mouth, but the body is very honest!'
Lin Yuan: I didn't. I'm not. Don't talk nonsense!
While making the bed, Lin Yuan suddenly felt an itch in his nose and couldn't help but sneeze.
At this moment, he had absolutely no idea that he had already been secretly labeled as a lolicon by this over-imaginative rabbit.
If he could currently read Xiao Wu's inner thoughts, he would definitely grab this rabbit immediately and "educate" her thoroughly—so she'd understand what real societal cruelty was!
Just then—
Wang Sheng, who had earlier been thrown so hard by Lin Yuan that his world spun, finally recovered.
He glanced at Tang San and Xiao Wu standing dazed at the doorway. In an attempt to recover the dignity he had just lost, he forcibly straightened his back and put on the airs of a senior.
"Ahem!"
"There are actually three work-study students this year?"
Wang Sheng swept his gaze over the two of them and asked loudly, "What are your names? What are your martial souls? And how much innate soul power do you have?"
Although Tang San felt that the atmosphere in this dormitory was somewhat strange—especially the dangerous feeling given off by the black-clad youth—he still maintained his manners and smiled slightly.
"My name is Tang San. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. I have full innate soul power."
"Blue Silver Grass?"
Hearing this "trash" martial soul, the entire Dorm Seven immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Blue Silver Grass? That roadside weed that grows everywhere can be a martial soul?"
"This is killing me—can that even be cultivated?"
But the moment they processed the latter half of his sentence, the laughter abruptly stopped.
"What?! Blue Silver Grass can have full innate soul power?!"
Even Wang Sheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu was also pulled back to reality by the commotion.
She took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said crisply,
"My name is Xiao Wu. Wu as in dance. My martial soul is Soft Bone Rabbit. I also have full innate soul power."
This time, Dorm Seven completely exploded.
"Good heavens! Another one with full innate soul power?"
"What's going on this year? Usually, several years pass without even one, and now two show up at once?"
At this moment, a sharper student suddenly pointed at Lin Yuan in the corner.
"Wait! That new boss over there hasn't reported his level yet!"
Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Lin Yuan.
Wang Sheng also pointed toward him somewhat helplessly and said with a bitter smile,
"Oh, right—Dorm Seven has a rule. Any newcomer has to spar with the dorm leader. Whoever wins becomes the boss of Dorm Seven."
"This brother over here one-shot me earlier, so he's now the new dorm leader."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.
She had been worrying about how to find an opportunity to test Lin Yuan!
Whether or not this person truly knew her identity aside, his attitude in the diary alone had already thoroughly annoyed her!
Since it was a spar, then it would be perfectly justified!
"Hey! You, sitting there!"
Xiao Wu planted her hands on her hips and shouted at Lin Yuan. "What's your name? We've all introduced ourselves—now it's your turn!"
Lin Yuan set down the quilt in his hands and slowly turned around.
Looking at Xiao Wu's eager yet conflicted expression—both afraid and itching to provoke—he chuckled inwardly.
'This rabbit is pretty good at acting.'
'Her identity's been exposed, she's scared stiff, yet she still insists on keeping up appearances.'
But outwardly, Lin Yuan continued to play along. That was what made things fun, after all.
His expression remained calm, his tone even.
"My name is Lin Yuan. My martial soul is the Soul-Devouring Spear. I have full innate soul power."
Xiao Wu spat fiercely in her heart.
Tch—keep pretending!
