"I'm tired, Bei Bei."
Tang Ya cast a glance at Bei Bei with her lively eyes, wearing a hint of weariness, but she took a step back.
"Let's talk about the future later. Since you're so busy, you should focus on improving your cultivation first."
Obviously, she was no fool; she had noticed the clues.
In her eyes, Bei Bei's family background was quite mysterious and vaguely related to Shrek Academy. Now it seemed his parents didn't approve of her.
It was true; how could a woman burdened with the revival of the Tang Sect and possessing only average talent catch their eye?
Since that was the case, separating would be a relief for everyone.
"Xiao Ya, I—" Bei Bei started but stopped himself.
Watching this scene, his heart felt as if it had been slashed open by a sharp blade, quietly dripping blood, but he could only watch the girl's lonely retreating figure, feeling powerless.
Dormitory.
Tang Ya lay on the soft bed, wrapped in a light blue quilt, her jade-like feet swinging in the air, but her thoughts drifted unconsciously toward Lu Cheng—
"Nannan, you and Xiao Cheng are childhood sweethearts. Tell me—what kind of person is he?" Tang Ya suddenly popped her head up and asked the beauty who was sitting cross-legged on the other bed, wearing pajamas with a pink rabbit pattern.
"Don't you dare have designs on my little brother!" Jiang Nannan suddenly opened her eyes, her pink pupils fixed on Tang Ya, her brows slightly furrowed.
"I don't! I'm just purely curious—" Tang Ya felt a bit guilty, but she still pretended to be nonchalant, stood up, hugged her quilt, and crawled into Jiang Nannan's bed.
"It tickles—what are you doing?" Jiang Nannan couldn't hold back, her stunning face breaking into giggles.
"Good sister, just tell me." Tang Ya wrapped her arms around Jiang Nannan's soft, slender waist, acting coquettishly.
"He—he's steady, reliable, and handsome, but lately, he hasn't been taking me, his elder sister, seriously." Jiang Nannan pondered for a moment before saying with a hint of bashful annoyance, It was simply turning the world upside down!
Last time, taking advantage of Mother not being there, he just pinned me down and spanked me.
Although it didn't hurt much, it made Jiang Nannan incredibly embarrassed and annoyed.
"Hmm—indeed."
Tang Ya recalled everything that happened in the forest, her eyes gradually becoming unfocused.
Shrek City.
Inside a tavern.
Bei Bei peeked into the tavern, hesitated for a moment, then slipped inside. He sat on a chair and tossed a gold coin to the bartender. "Bring me wine! The best wine!"
"Coming right up~" The bartender beamed with joy and trotted off to get the wine.
From behind him, a drunken but somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out: "Wine!"
Bei Bei was stunned, then turned his head, only to see the other person also turning their gaze in astonishment.
"Bei Bei!"
"San Shi!"
The two brothers looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.
"Why are you here too?" x2
"Did you get dumped too?" x2
"Good brothers for life."
"Cheers!"
Dormitory 108
"Cultivation technique, soul ring, and even cultivation resources and the academy entrance ticket—Brother Cheng gave them all to me." The young man's eyes were filled with determination. "Brother Cheng trusts me so much, I cannot let him down!"
"Since that's the case, I must work hard to cultivate and pass the first New Student Assessment!"
The young man clenched his fists, standing at the door of Dormitory 108.
Just as he was filled with enthusiasm, a handsome young man who could rival Brother Cheng passed by him indifferently, pushed the door open, and walked in a step ahead of him.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
However, Huo Yuhao quickly regained his composure; this must be his new roommate. Since that was the case—
"Eh? Who are you?"
An exclamation came from inside the dormitory.
"And who are you?!!" Ning Cong looked at Wang Dong with annoyance. Even if this guy was handsome, it had nothing to do with him. He didn't have same-sex preferences, so he didn't hold back his tone toward this junior student who had suddenly intruded, his voice full of anger.
The handsome youth frowned, looking at Ning Cong inside the dormitory and the unmade bedding. A flash of suspicion crossed his eyes. He stepped out of the dormitory, checked the sign, and took out the key in his hand.
"Dormitory 108. This should be our dormitory."
Ning Cong was a bit bewildered then. "The dorm manager said the second-floor dorms were full and told us to keep staying here."
Coincidentally, Lu Cheng walked in. Seeing this, his eyes held a hint of mockery. "What, is Shrek Academy so poor now that they've changed it to a four-person room? Mixing new and old students?"
"There must be a problem with the dormitory allocation—" Ning Cong looked speechless. A massive institution like Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent, was actually being stingy about such things. It was truly—
He waved his hand. "I'll go ask the dorm manager."
His figure disappeared from the dormitory.
Lu Cheng glanced at Wang Dong and the obedient-looking Huo Yuhao with great interest. In the original story, there hadn't been any mix-ups. Events like this, which occurred by chance, were all considered inevitable in his eyes—meaning someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.
Who could it be?
So hard to guess—
That guy in the sky is carrying a fish fork.
As for Tang San, he wasn't too worried. In the original story, this person appeared to be planning a ten-thousand-year grand strategy, repeatedly interfering in the mortal world, and looking like a mastermind, but in reality, he was currently the least threatening to Lu Cheng.
There were only two instances in the original story where Tang San personally acted. Both were borrowing power.
One was in the Valley of Love and Emotion, where he used the Nine Colored Goddess's hand to brutally abuse Huo Yuhao. The second was by planting his ninth Soul Skill, Sea God's Descent, inside Tang Wutong's body, allowing him to act briefly.
Most of his other arrangements were completed through the hands of Da Ming, Er Ming, and the Clear Sky Sect.
In other words, although he was an asura god, enforcer of the God Realm, and one of the five great God Kings, he was still limited by the restriction that gods must not interfere in the mortal world. This constraint prevented him from acting recklessly.
Of course, by the time the story reached its finale, Goodness and Evil had already passed their God positions to Ji Dong and Lie Yan, and Destruction had been backstabbed by Life—they were no longer united. Only then did Tang San gradually become unscrupulous. If not for Destruction causing trouble and silently hitting the entire God Realm with a massive blow, causing the God Realm to be swept away by spatial turbulence, leaving Tang San unable to attend to anything else, the entire Douluo Planet would likely have faced the terror of being dominated by God King Tang.
Did humanity still want to develop? Did the Sun Moon Federation still want to unify the continent?
Did they still want to rush out of Douluo Planet like in the original story and develop a considerable spirit technology force? Keep dreaming—
In God King Tang's eyes, the entire Douluo planet was his backyard.
Ultimately, Douluo Planet really had to thank Destruction. If not for this guy wiping out the entire God Realm in one go, who knows how long humanity would have been suppressed.
As for the Abyss Plane—without Tang San, there would be no storm. It was purely God King Tang saving us from the storm. But as for where the storm came from—that's none of your concern.
While Lu Cheng was sizing up Wang Dong, the latter was also looking at Lu Cheng with slight astonishment.
Her appearance while disguised as a man was already top-tier, but she hadn't expected it—Shrek Academy truly lived up to its reputation as a place where hidden talents reside; to think there was another expert here?!!
