Chapter 10 Exposing Your Identity! The Goddess of Light's Butterfly Technique Is Passed Down Only to Women, Not Men. Are You Illiterate?
"I said..."
Dai Huabin pointed to an ordinary pink butterfly fluttering in the roadside flower bed.
"Wang Dong, before you came to Shrek Academy, didn't your elders at home encourage you to study more?"
Wang Dong was stunned: "Huh? Going to school? I'm eleven years old, of course I've been to school!"
"Since you've been to school, you must have read some books about soul beasts and Spirits, right?" Dai Huabin said slowly and deliberately.
Wang Dong's heart skipped a beat.
At home, she would just practice her skills and play. Her uncles never forced her to read these dry theoretical books, saying that as long as her fists were strong enough, it was fine.
"I...I saw a little bit, what's wrong?" Wang Dong puffed out her chest guiltily, her eyes starting to dart around.
Dai Huabin didn't expose her, he just smiled and took half a step closer.
This sudden approach made Wang Dong instinctively want to back away, but she was enveloped by the faint masculine aura emanating from Dai Huabin.
"Do you know that, according to the records of the Soul Master world, the Spirit of the Goddess of Light Butterfly is only passed down to women, not men?"
"This also means that a Soul Master who can awaken the Goddess of Light Butterfly Spirit must be a woman, and an extremely beautiful woman at that!"
At this point, Dai Huabin paused, his heterochromatic eyes looking at Wang Dong's instantly frozen face with a mocking gaze.
"So, a 'male' student with a pure Goddess of Light Butterfly Spirit. Should I praise you as a medical miracle of genetic mutation, or should I suspect that you are simply a woman disguised as a man?"
Boom!
Wang Dong felt as if a firework had exploded in her mind.
It's over!
My secret has been exposed!
How does this guy know everything?
Didn't my father say that unless someone is a Title Douluo, no one can discover this secret?
How come even a random freshman knows this obscure piece of knowledge?
Wang Dong's face instantly turned bright red, the redness spreading all the way to the roots of her neck.
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
She stammered in rebuttal, but her tone was so soft it sounded like she was being coquettish.
"I...of course I know that!" Wang Dong's eyes darted around as she desperately tried to cover up her slip.
"I was just... just testing whether the people in the Academy had any knowledge or experience!"
"That's right, exactly! I didn't expect you, despite being annoying, to be so knowledgeable! Haha...haha..."
That dry, forced laughter made Zhu Lu, who was standing next to her, feel embarrassed for her.
"Oh? It's a test?"
Dai Huabin drawled out the last syllable, with an expression that said, "I'll just watch you perform quietly."
Wang Dong was so embarrassed and angry by his gaze that she decided to give up and do whatever she wanted.
She stomped her foot, and the next moment, her voice instantly became clear and melodious. The original boyish voice disappeared, replaced by the charming innocence unique to young girls.
"Okay, okay! You're great! You win, alright!"
Wang Dong snorted and glared fiercely at Dai Huabin.
"Since you've recognized me, I won't pretend anymore! Anyway, it's not a big deal. My name is Wang Dong'er! So, did you hear me clearly?"
The moment she said that, Zhu Lu, who had been standing to the side, narrowed her eyes slightly.
So it really is a woman?
Zhu Lu's gaze swept over Wang Dong'er's face, which was still stunningly beautiful even when dressed as a man. Instead of calming down, the alarm bells in her heart rang even louder.
This girl is so beautiful.
With light blue hair, big light blue eyes, and skin as white as porcelain, she exudes a lively spirit even when she's angry.
If she changes back into women's clothing...
Zhu Lu subconsciously gripped Dai Huabin's arm tightly, pressing her body even closer, as if asserting her dominance.
No wonder I felt uncomfortable when I first saw this person; it turns out that same-sex repulsion exists.
"Wang Dong'er?"
Dai Huabin pondered the name for a moment, then nodded knowingly.
"Hmm, this name sounds much better than Wang Dong. But..."
Dai Huabin looked Wang Dong'er up and down, sizing her up in men's clothing.
"Are you planning to keep wearing this? Shrek Academy's rules don't prohibit cross-dressing, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to sneak into the boys' dormitory like this?"
Wang Dong'er crossed her arms and shrugged indifferently.
"What's wrong with that? I'm happy with it! Besides, I'm doing this to make it easier to cultivate, so those stinky boys won't bother me all day long. It's so annoying."
As she spoke, she proudly raised her chin:
"Besides, I've already checked, the dorms are double rooms. No matter who my roommate is, if he dares to misbehave, I'll beat him to a pulp!"
Dai Huabin's lips twitched as he listened.
This girl really hasn't experienced the harsh realities of life yet.
However, Dai Huabin doesn't actually dislike Wang Dong'er from the original novel; the character is quite charming.
But Tang Wutong...
I won't say.
"You're really thick-skinned." Dai Huabin couldn't help but remark.
"That's right!" Wang Dong'er took it as a compliment, her face full of pride.
"Wang Dong'er, as your classmate, I'm just giving you a friendly reminder."
Dai Huabin's smile faded, and his expression became slightly serious.
"There are some things in this world that can't be solved with fists. Especially when it comes to matters between men and women."
"It's not good for a girl like you to live in a boys' dormitory. If word gets out, it won't sound good."
"This will have some impact on your reputation, and on your family's reputation as well."
Wang Dong'er was stunned for a moment.
She was so well protected by the Clear Sky Sect that she really didn't think much about these worldly concepts.
Hearing Dai Huabin speak so seriously, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
"This..." She bit her lip.
"But I've already registered, and my dorm room has been assigned. Can I really go back on my word?"
"Not really," Dai Huabin shrugged. "Anyway, you're a person, and if you insist on living with a guy, no one can stop you. But..."
Dai Huabin paused deliberately and glanced at Zhu Lu beside him.
"Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Dai Huabin, a freshman this year. This is my fiancée, Zhu Lu."
"We also have double dorm rooms, but we got them through connections. Unlike some people who are clearly girls but have to sneak in disguised as men. Just thinking about it makes me feel... miserable."
"Who are you calling pitiful!" Wang Dong'er instantly exploded. "I'm just experiencing life! Experiencing life, don't you understand?!"
"I understand, I understand."
Dai Huabin nodded perfunctorily.
"Then I hope you have a pleasant experience. Lulu, let's go."
After saying that, he ignored Wang Dong'er, who was jumping up and down behind him, and led Zhu Lu toward the freshman dormitory building.
"Hua Bin."
After walking some distance, Zhu Lu couldn't help but turn back to look at Wang Dong'er, who was still sulking in place, and asked softly,
"Why did you lie to her? We clearly don't live together."
Dai Huabin smiled and reached out to gently pinch Zhu Lu's nose:
"Silly girl, I was just teasing her. Don't you think it would be hilarious if she went to ask the teacher about double dorm rooms?"
"Pfft." Zhu Lu couldn't help but laugh.
So Hua Bin really is that bad.
However, she liked this kind of badness.
