In the hotel hallway, Tang San faced serious with a steely expression, he asked sternly.
"What were you doing just now?"
"I went to confirm if that person was my benefactor."
Xiaowu rubbed her hanging locks, puzzled.
"San ge, what's wrong with you? Is there something making you unhappy?"
"Nothing, I'm very happy."
Tang San bared his teeth in a forced smile, but his heart was suffocating with discomfort he couldn't express; voicing it would make him seem so narrow-minded.
Yet he couldn't help but continue to press.
"After meeting that man, did you confirm anything?"
Xiaowu's eyes dimmed as her pretty face showed her disappointment, "I mistook him; he wasn't my benefactor. I just felt something familiar about him, that's all."
Tang San heaved a sigh of relief. He glared toward Luo Yu's door and said with a serious tone, "Xiaowu, if he isn't the one, then you should stay away from that guy from now on."
"Why?" Xiaowu asked, not understanding.
Tang San's voice halted for a moment. He couldn't very well admit to being jealous, he had to find a good reason.
With righteous indignation, he said, "That guy doesn't seem like any good, and you're so beautiful. Maybe he's coveting your body."
"No way." Xiaowu shook her head repeatedly, "I think he seems quite nice. Besides, he helped us before by giving us an extra room and didn't even charge us for it."
At this point, Tang San felt a surge of anger but restrained himself from lashing out.
He tried to persuade her earnestly, "You can't judge a book by its cover, especially when you're away from home. You should always be careful."
"Think about it carefully, he has no obligation to help us, and his motives are really suspicious."
Xiaowu pouted slightly, seemingly indifferent and not really taking in his words.
Suddenly, her eyes brightened, and she smiled cheerfully.
"Oh, San ge, he said he's also coming to join Shrek. We might be classmates in the future. His character must be fine."
Tang San laughed and shook his head: "Him? Join Shrek? He's probably just boasting."
"Have you forgotten what the teacher told us before?"
"Shrek only recruits monsters, not mediocrity. That place isn't one you can just enter if you wish to."
Xiaowu's eyes widened, "Ah, are you saying he might not be able to get into Shrek?"
Tang San sighed wistfully, "We are confident about getting in because we possess innate full soul power and are nearly level 30 Soul Elders at such a young age."
"What about him? It's not like he could compare to us."
Xiaowu opened her mouth to argue, but she didn't know what to say.
Individuals with innate full soul power were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Being in human society for so long, she found only Tang San possessed such a qualification; indeed, it was extremely rare.
Tang San looked up and smiled, "If just anyone could enter, the quality of the academy's teaching couldn't be that good, and our teacher wouldn't have made us go there specially."
"San ge, you say he's confident about joining Shrek. Maybe he's also a genius?" Xiaowu murmured. "It's a pity to meet someone interesting and not become classmates."
Tang San's expression changed noticeably at her latter words. He snorted, "I too hope for more classmates, but gaining entry to Shrek isn't that easy. Unless he's also a genius with at least level 8 innate soul power."
"But I doubt it. Are geniuses found everywhere? Could we just run into one by chance? The odds are too small; he's probably going to be eliminated and sent home soon."
Xiaowu pressed her finger to her lips, seeming to ponder, and recalled, "I felt like the way he spoke was very confident. He even said he's going to go to Shrek and hang out casually tomorrow."
"Ha? Go hang out at Shrek casually?" Tang San scoffed, "This guy has quite the nerve. With what talent and strength does he dare to say such things? Even I wouldn't be so audacious."
Xiaowu blinked her sparkling eyes, skeptically, "San ge, why do I feel like you're kind of agitated today?"
"Nonsense, that's not true." Tang San recomposed himself slightly, dissatisfied, "Listening to your description, I now have some idea what kind of person he is."
"He's likely just a rich playboy gallivanting about. He probably doesn't yet realize how strict and brutal Shrek's admissions are. He's in for a shock tomorrow."
"Really?" Xiaowu's face showed a trace of tension.
"Why not?" Tang San stood straight, "When has your San ge ever misjudged someone? That kid will no doubt be slapped in the face by the admissions teachers tomorrow."
Xiaowu expressed her concern, "Third brother, he helped us before. If he doesn't get admitted tomorrow, can we ask the teacher to consider him?"
Tang San raised his hand and sighed, "If he isn't admitted, leaving might actually be for the best."
"Just think about it, all the students Shrek recruits are monsters, not ordinary people. Forcing him to stay with us would only pressure him. Once he feels the gap in talent, he'll only become more insecure and unhappy."
"Do you understand, Xiaowu? Third brother is also thinking of what's best for him."
"Oh... Oh." Xiaowu replied unconsciously, somewhat confused by his words.
Seeing Xiaowu nod, a subtle look of pride flashed through the depths of Tang San's eyes.
He wasn't just making empty statements; he had secretly observed Luo Yu long ago and had realized the guy was quite ordinary with nothing special about him.
Such a person getting close to Xiaowu irked him immensely.
Who dares to approach my Xiaowu sister? Does he deserve to? Why should he?
...
"Achoo!"
Luo Yu sneezed while inside a room.
At that moment, he was lying on a plush, heart-shaped bed with his arms spread out, enjoying the massage from a pair of fair, soft hands.
Zhu Zhuyun was kneeling by his side, her pale knees stark against the fabric of her thin, black leather garment, which could hardly conceal the proud snowy white beauty she possessed. The faint scent of her body wafted through the air as she diligently dressed the man.
Sitting to the side, Zhu Zhuqing clenched her delicate teeth on her thin lips. Seeing the coquettish look in her sister's eyes, she tightly clenched her little fists as if she was exerting great effort to restrain herself, ready to lash out at any moment.
It wasn't until she saw Zhu Zhuyun's hand teasingly glide across the man's back that a vein throbbed on Zhu Zhuqing's temple. She moved forward quickly, slapping away her sister's hand that was taking advantage of the man.
"What are you doing, Zhu Zhuqing? Didn't you see that I was massaging our master?"
The girl with the baby-faced features sneered coldly, "Heh, I thought you were working too hard. I can do this too, let your sister help you share the burden."
"Oh, what a strong smell of jealousy," Zhu Zhuyun fanned her hand in front of herself lightly, laughing flirtatiously. Her chest heaved with her laughter, giving off a uniquely seductive charm.
"Ptui! I am not jealous," Zhu Zhuqing turned her head away, looking to the other side.
"All right, all right, since I'm the older sister, I'll leave the master to you."
Zhu Zhuyun sent Luo Yu a teasing glance and mimed something with her mouth as if she said something suggestive. Then she quickly left the bedroom, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
"Bang!"
The bedroom suddenly fell silent.
Luo Yu could hear Zhu Zhuqing's breathing becoming more unnatural by the moment, as the atmosphere turned hazy.
He shifted his position, wrapping one arm around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist.
The woman's waist was definitely well-trained; her glowing white skin was both radiant and toned, revealing sexy abdominal lines.
"Soft whimper."
"Stupid man, what are you doing?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed a deep red, looking as if it could drip water.
She might be a novice in practice but that didn't mean she was a naive newcomer to the world.
She already had a premonition.
"What am I going to do, haven't you guessed?" Luo Yu's mouth curved into a wicked smile, "Otherwise, why would your body be so tense?"
"You're terrible; I don't want to play with you anymore." Zhu Zhuqing got up intending to leave.
But as soon as she exerted force, Luo Yu pulled her into his embrace.
Zhu Zhuqing pounded on his chest, her voice like a little wildcat, "Stop it, my sister is still outside."
"Shh, don't worry, as long as you keep quiet, she won't hear anything."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened suddenly.
"You're too bad. Didn't you just last night..."
"Mmf!"
Luo Yu didn't plan on giving the girl a chance to continue speaking…
