Chapter 5: Huo Yutong's Roommate

"Hmm... Room 503, is that on the fifth floor?"

After parting with Tang Wulin, Huo Yutong looked at her freshman badge and dorm key, searching for her room.

At that moment, a childish voice rang in her mind.

"Wow, finally I'm separated from that brat; staying with him all the time was terrifying!"

Huo Yutong's expression instantly turned helpless.

"As I've said many times, Wulin isn't a bad person; Tianmeng, you don't need to be so afraid of him."

"No no no, Yutong, you just don't understand."

A golden-haired little girl in pajamas suddenly appeared beside Huo Yutong, speaking very seriously:

"The Golden Dragon King's bloodline is something humans can't withstand; that kid is definitely not normal, surely a soul beast in human form—if he finds out, I might end up being eaten as food!"

Strangely, despite her loud voice, no one around noticed her.

Huo Yutong asked curiously:

"But Tianmeng, you said before that soul beast transformations can only turn into matching beast martial souls, right? Wulin's martial soul is Blue Silver Grass—how could that possibly have anything to do with the Golden Dragon King?"

Tianmeng said proudly: "That's why I say you don't understand anything, Yutong—when an extremely powerful soul beast transforms into a human, it can choose not to use its own soul beast type as its martial soul. If that kid truly had the Golden Dragon King's bloodline when he was still a soul beast, then even if he has the abilities just mentioned, it wouldn't be strange at all."

""

How does it feel a bit like forcing an argument?

Huo Yutong looked at the solemn Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and sighed helplessly.

Thinking about it, these past few days have been truly fantastical.

First, I met Tianmeng, who claimed to be a million-year soul beast, and voluntarily became her soul ring; then I was invaded by an unknown grey sphere into my Sea of Spirit, and I still don't know where it came from.

Then I met Tang Wulin, reunited with Bei Bei and Tang Ya, joined the Tang Sect, and also joined Shrek of the Mainland First Academy……

Huo Yutong felt that her previous life had never been as rich and colorful as these few days.

Tianmeng pursed her lips.

"Come to think of it, why do you trust him so much, Yutong? What qualities make you believe in him?"

Huo Yutong shrugged.

"There are so many: he speaks politely, treats feelings with care and sincerity, never wastes food, has excellent talent, and is quite cute—such a person would be hard to dislike."

"This..."

Tianmeng was speechless.

Upon reflection, what Huo Yutong said actually makes sense.

These past few days, Tianmeng never dared to relax, constantly watching Tang Wulin, so she knows Huo Yutong isn't exaggerating.

Could it be that she was wrong? Does this guy Tang Wulin pose no threat?

"Mmmph!" Tianmeng puffed her cheeks, saying somewhat sulkily: "Fine, this is what you said—if anything goes wrong, you'll be responsible; I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, she dove straight into Huo Yutong's Sea of Spirit and fell silent.

These past few days, she's been frightened by Tang Wulin to the point of mental exhaustion, and she hasn't had a good sleep in a long time.

Since Huo Yutong insists Tang Wulin poses no threat, she ought to catch up on sleep properly.

Meanwhile, Huo Yutong had just arrived at her dormitory door.

She pushed the door open; there was already a member inside.

It was a black-haired girl with a side ponytail, not tall, petite, not especially beautiful but quite pretty and pleasant to look at.

Seeing Huo Yutong enter, she quickly rose to greet her:

"Hello, I'm Xiao Xiao. Are you my roommate?"

"Mm, hello, I'm Huo Yutong. Please take care of me."

Huo Yutong answered while walking to her bed and began tidying the sheets.

Xiao Xiao came over, curious, and asked: "Yutong, have you looked at the class list? Which class are you in?"

Huo Yutong's hand paused; she recalled that she had indeed looked at the class list before coming to the dorm.

She said: "I think I'm in Freshman Class 7." Xiao Xiao's face fell immediately.

"Ah? You're that lucky?!"

This piqued Huo Yutong's interest.

"Is Freshman Class 7 really that impressive?"

Xiao Xiao shook her head like a rattle drum.

"No, it's not that Freshman Class 7 is impressive; quite the opposite—it's so ordinary that I envy it."

"?"

Seeing Huo Yutong still not understanding, Xiao Xiao sighed helplessly.

"It's like this: roommates usually end up in the same class, so I originally thought you'd be placed in Freshman Class 1 like me. But according to what I've heard, the homeroom teacher of Freshman Class 1, that old lady, has an extremely violent temperament; a little carelessness and you'll get harsh punishment. Being assigned to her class is truly terrible luck for eight lifetimes."

"Is that so?"

Huo Yutong was slightly startled.

She couldn't help but worry about Tang Wulin—what class did that kid get into? I hope it's not Freshman Class 1; he's only nine, he shouldn't have to suffer that much.

While worrying about Tang Wulin, Huo Yutong also finished arranging her bedding.

After finishing, she patted off the dust on her clothes, climbed onto the bed, crossed her legs, and prepared to cultivate.

Xiao Xiao quickly called out to her.

"Hold on, what are you doing?"

Huo Yutong looked at her in surprise.

"Do I even need to say?" "Cultivating."

"Training, that's all!" Xiao Xiao said in disbelief, "This is our first day at Shilake Academy, don't you think we should first enjoy the Academy's life?"

Huo Yutong felt baffled.

"Isn't the Academy's life just a life of training? What else could there be?"

Xiao Xiao fell silent.

"Of course there are plenty of things to do. Since we've all come to Shilake City, wouldn't it be a waste not to wander around the city? Moreover, this is our first time being away from our parents for an extended period; we have to make the most of this chance to have fun."

Huo Yutong said calmly:

"My mother passed away a few years ago, and I was born without a father, so I've essentially always been without parents."

"Ah, I'm sorry…"

When she said that, Xiao Xiao instantly wilted.

Her words were too rude for an orphan.

Huo Yutong gently shook her head.

"It's fine, I don't mind. But I'm sorry, if you want to go play in the city, don't count on me. I have something I want to accomplish, and for that, I must train hard."

After speaking, she closed her eyes and began to train.

Xiao Xiao stared at her in a daze.

She didn't know Huo Yutong's background, nor her goal, but she could hear Huo Yutong's steadfast belief in her words.

After a while, Xiao Xiao let out a light hum.

"Hum, it's just training; I'm not incapable."

After saying that, she also climbed onto her own bed and began to train.

The previously noisy dormitory fell silent, leaving only the steady breaths of the two girls.

I actually have no objection to Tianmeng; rather, I quite like him.

But in the previous book, because I didn't give him a gender swap, more than one person kept scolding me.

So I'm sorry, Brother Tianmeng, say goodbye to your Dingding (no mercy) (End of chapter).
