Hearing Xiao Wu's cat-like shriek, Ye Qiu immediately shuddered, goosebumps erupting all over his body.
Tang San, standing beside him, couldn't help but frown.
Looking at Xiao Wu's tear-stained face, he felt a strange sense of loss, an odd feeling he couldn't quite place.
He couldn't help but chastise Ye Qiu:
"Ye Qiu, don't go too far! What kind of man bullies a little girl?!"
"Little girl?"
Ye Qiu's lips twitched, and his mental defenses relaxed slightly.
The black skin on his body immediately surged towards his chest, transforming into tiny tadpoles that disappeared into Ye Qiu's body.
His face turned pale, and there was sweat on his forehead.
He was also struggling to hold on. He took out a candy from his pocket and crunched into it.
The consumption caused by the Venom Martial Soul...
...had increased his appetite considerably.
After a moment of recovery, Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Xiao San, why are you so concerned about her?!"
Tang San's breathing hitched. Looking at Ye Qiu's playful expression and Xiao Wu's tearful eyes, he felt a little uneasy.
"I... I just can't stand you bullying her. We're going to be classmates, why be so harsh?"
"Is that so?"
Ye Qiu smiled indifferently.
He didn't want to delve into what Tang San was really thinking.
"Hurry up and let Xiao Wu go!"
Tang San snorted coldly, frowning.
He was about to go and pry the things Ye Qiu had shot out of the wall.
But Ye Qiu was a step ahead. He raised his hand and pressed it against the black spiderwebs. The black spiderwebs immediately seemed like liquid, disappearing into Ye Qiu's body.
Xiao Wu, who had been stuck tightly to the wall, fell into Ye Qiu's arms, crying. Even though Ye Qiu hadn't held her, she was still clinging tightly to him, sobbing continuously.
Clenching her teeth, she tugged on Ye Qiu's clothes, letting her tears soak into them.
"Xiao... Xiao Wu-jie won't let you get away with this!"
"..."
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.
He didn't intend to hit her again. Instead, he wrapped his arm around Xiao Wu's slender waist and slowly walked towards an empty bed.
By this point, Xiao Wu had cried herself weak. The pain in her back and waist made her completely unwilling to move, so she let Ye Qiu hold her, like a puppet on strings.
"Alright, you should sit here and rest for a bit."
Ye Qiu put his hands under Xiao Wu's armpits, lifting her small body, and gently helped her sit on the edge of the bed.
"Ugh."
As soon as he set Xiao Wu down, she let out a whimper, a look of pain flashing across her face. She raised her head and glared at Ye Qiu, mortified.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu had only kicked one side of her… well, you know. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to sit still.
"Haha… You still want to hit me, huh? But you definitely can't beat me now!"
Looking at her small face, flushed beneath the dirt-streaked tears, with a black eye, Ye Qiu found it amusing, but still adorable.
He couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her cheeks.
"Ugh… Let go of me!"
Xiao Wu pouted, trying to resist, and tears threatened to spill from her eyes again.
Her hands were propped on the edge of the bed, using them to support herself. The moment she relaxed, her swollen butt would ache.
"Ye Qiu."
Tang San wanted to stop him.
Ye Qiu had already released his grip, walking to Tang San and smiling as he patted his shoulder.
"Alright! Little San, shouldn't you change your address now? From now on, I'm the boss of this Seventh Dorm! Shouldn't you call me boss, too?"
"Do you think that's possible?"
Tang San frowned, his face filled with defiance and unwillingness.
"Tch! Whatever. Anyway, I've always called you Little San. Being the boss... it won't change that."
Ye Qiu pursed his lips, feeling a bit bored.
"Boss is awesome!"
Wang Sheng and the others' voices suddenly rang out.
Their loud voices filled the entire Seventh Dorm, startling Ye Qiu.
They weren't exactly greenhorns anymore.
Even though Ye Qiu's web wasn't a Soul Skill, it was enough to make them wary.
"Alright, alright, stop shouting like that, it's weird."
Ye Qiu waved his hand, feeling a bit unaccustomed to it.
"Yes!"
Wang Sheng and the others responded in unison.
Ye Qiu finally felt the satisfaction of ordering others around.
No wonder Xiao Wu liked being the big sister so much; it was quite enjoyable.
Tang San watched Ye Qiu's smug expression and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, not wanting to dwell on it.
Later, once he witnessed Tang San's strength and the appeal of his personality, he wouldn't be so frivolous.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Ye Qiu already understood Tang San's personality, even experiencing it firsthand in the last couple of days. He could only say it was truly not worthy of praise.
Ye Qiu waved his hand, dismissing Wang Sheng and the others.
Feeling somewhat weak, he slowly walked to the empty bed next to him and pulled a pink lollipop from his bag, placing it in his mouth.
It was sweet, but with a hint of carrot flavor.
"Xiao Wu, are you alright?"
Tang San took a moment to walk over to Xiao Wu, concern evident in his eyes.
"What could possibly happen to Sister Xiao Wu? Humph."
Even her bones are soft, but her mouth is hard!
Xiao Wu glared coldly at Tang San, then ignored him. She covered her pitch-black left eye, grinding her teeth as she stared intently at Ye Qiu!
Half of her backside and her eye still stung.
Tang San got brushed off again, and he gave a dry laugh before turning to Wang Sheng and the others.
He was here to learn. He wasn't here to be a nuisance. Since they weren't paying him any mind, his pride wouldn't let him say more.
"Wang Sheng."
"Eh, San-ge. What's up?"
Wang Sheng responded, waiting for his instructions.
They'd already discussed it: the three who came this year were the pillars of their work-study students, all brothers... or sisters!
This wasn't just because of the Seventh Dorm's rules, but also because Ye Qiu had innate full spirit power. Not only him, but also Xiao Wu and Tang San. No matter who became the leader, Wang Sheng and the others had no objections. They'd placed the three of them on equal footing.
Tang San frowned slightly.
'San-ge' made him a little uncomfortable. If they called Ye Qiu boss outside, and called him San-ge, wouldn't he really be a step below?
But he understood Wang Sheng and the others' way of addressing him. After all, that was indeed his name, the same as in his previous life, and he was quite satisfied with it.
He couldn't say much.
He smiled gently, concealing the slight displeasure on his face. He politely asked, "Could you tell me about our academy?"
"Of course, no problem! I'm free right now."
Wang Sheng had arrived at the academy yesterday and already packed his things. He patted his chest and agreed.
Then.
He began to explain the situation at Notting Academy in detail: "We work-study students have to earn our own living expenses. The academy arranges cleaning work for us. There are a total of six grades in the academy. We have classes in the morning and practice on our own in the afternoon..."
Wang Sheng also gave Tang San a brief introduction to the other students in the dorm.
Among these people, Wang Sheng was the most talented; he was already a Spirit Master at level nine.
Ye Qiu, who was listening to Wang Sheng's introduction while sucking on a lollipop, suddenly noticed a gaze glaring at him with ill intent.
He immediately turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Wu.
Ye Qiu smiled.
He didn't continue listening to Wang Sheng and instead quietly sat down next to Xiao Wu.
"What do you want to do? I won't call you boss, Xiao Wu."
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu warily, wanting to shift her position but unable to.
I wish you all a happy life!
