The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 641 The Hamster That Was Scared to Tears Buried!
"Logically speaking, there should have been enough time, but who knew that plans could change! I didn't expect Zhongli and the others to come so suddenly!"

"I had to entertain Zhongli and the others after they arrived, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be right. So I entertained them first, but I got so busy that I forgot about them..."

"Hmph, then..."

Feng Shayan was about to say something more when Nan Lixiang interrupted her directly:
"Sigh, alright, alright, it's all in the past, why bring it up now?"

"Knock first. It's not good to just stand at the door. Since we made a mistake yesterday, why not make up for it today? I really don't understand why you two can argue about something like this..."

As she spoke, Nanlixiang walked to the door and knocked.

Seeing Nan Lixiang's actions, Wu Tong and the other person stopped what they were about to say and quietly waited for the sound of the door opening.

only……

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

As time ticked by, there was still no sound coming from inside the door.

Wu Tong and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"..."

Wu Tong blinked, tilted her head, and tentatively suggested, "Maybe it's still asleep. Should we knock again?"

"Come on, it's almost afternoon and you're still not awake? Do you think everyone else is like you?"

Feng Shayan first retorted to Wu Tong, then twisted her body, pulled herself out of Wu Tong's embrace, straightened her clothes, and then offered her guess:

"And maybe she went out? It's normal to want to explore and familiarize herself with the surroundings when you first arrive in a new environment, right?"

"Uh……"

Wu Tong seemed to want to speak but hesitated, then hesitated again but wanted to speak.

Although what Feng Shayan said might be possible, for some reason, his intuition told him that Doma Umaru was really still asleep, and not, as Feng Shayan said, had gone out to familiarize himself with the environment.

(Wu Tong (lazy mode) & Doma Umaru (homebody mode): Don't underestimate the mutual appreciation between lazy bums...)
As a deity, Wu Tong was very confident in his premonitions, so when the thought arose in his mind, he did not hesitate any longer, walked straight past the two women to the door, and knocked on the door very loudly.

"I already said they might be going out..."

Feng Shayan was about to speak up to stop Wu Tong when she saw his actions, but she choked on her words halfway through.

Just as she was speaking, a series of rustling footsteps sounded from behind the dormitory door.

Although the sound was soft, it confirmed a phenomenon.

That means there is indeed someone inside the house, and judging from the footsteps, it is indeed a girl...

Feng Shayan: ...Oh no, kids, I've been proven wrong!
Nanli Xiang, standing to the side, was also somewhat surprised: those unsteady footsteps... wow, I really didn't expect that. The little girl inside, and it seems she really hadn't woken up yet?

As she pondered this, Nanlixiang glanced up and down at Wu Tong's languid posture with a smile in her eyes. Then, as if remembering something, she unconsciously blinked.
She seemed to know why Wu Tong had taken Dojima Umaru as his apprentice.

After all, that lazy, languid posture and the little sleepyhead inside are practically cut from the same cloth!
No wonder...

Just thinking about the funny scenes of Big Sleepyhead teaching Little Sleepyhead makes Nanri Kaori burst into laughter!

With the sound of the doorknob turning, the dormitory door in front of the three of them finally opened.

As soon as the door opened, a mischievous little head with long flaxen hair, wearing a hamster hat, popped out from behind it. It looked very clever, like a little imp who was extra vigilant about its safety when the adults weren't home.

Seeing Xiaomai like this, Wu Tong was speechless:
I said, "Xiao Mai, are you being too serious? There are no bad people in the academy, why are you so wary?"

Although he felt helpless, Wu Tong kept quiet, thinking that Xiaomai had only just arrived in this world and had only been in this unfamiliar environment for a few days, so it was normal for her to be wary.

At that moment, Minami Rika waved to Doma Umaru and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Umaru-kun!"

"Hello, sister, what can I do for you?"

Wu Tong stood on the left side of the door, and the revolving door opened outwards.

In addition, Umaru only observed through the crack in the door and did not stick her head out.

Therefore, at this moment, Xiaomai did not see Wu Tong, who was standing against the wall.

That is why, when faced with the sudden kindness emanating from Nanami Rika, a complete stranger, Umaru, who was all alone, became particularly wary.

Although Nanri Kaori is very beautiful and seems easy to get along with.

But as the saying goes: it's easy to draw the skin of a tiger but hard to draw its bones; you can know a person's face but not their heart.

Although she grew up in a life full of brilliance, Umaru has seen quite a bit of the dark side of society online.

Therefore, although she is gentle and kind in nature, that is only towards her own people.

When facing strangers, Umaru never hesitates to speculate about them with the darkest thoughts.

As for Umaru's idea, all I can say is that it's a good idea, but who is Nanri Kaori?
Before becoming Wu Tong's woman, she was a member of the Self-Defense Force. During her missions, she met all sorts of people, countless in number, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had witnessed all walks of life.

Although Umaru hid her wariness well, it was still immediately noticed by Minami Rika, who was a professional soldier.

Nanri Kaori nodded inwardly, praising Umaru's vigilance while also feeling somewhat disappointed.

While it's good that the child is wary, does she really look like a bad person? Why is she so wary of her the moment they meet? She thinks she looks quite approachable...

Composing herself, Nan Lixiang smiled knowingly, pulled Feng Shayan close, put her arm around her shoulder, and said with a smile:
“We are students of this academy. We happened to hear yesterday that you have become Mr. Wu Tong’s apprentice, so we thought we would come and see.”

"To be honest, I'm very curious. What kind of person could stand out from so many people in the academy so quietly and become Mr. Wu Tong's apprentice without making a sound?"

"This is truly unexpected. You know, almost 99% of the students in the entire academy want to become Mr. Wu Tong's apprentice, but unexpectedly, a little girl has taken the lead..." "I originally thought you had some kind of superhuman abilities, but now it seems you're not that outstanding. Tell me, what makes you think you deserve to be Mr. Wu Tong's apprentice?"

Feng Shayan, who was initially puzzled by Nan Lixiang's actions, immediately understood Nan Lixiang's plan after hearing these words—to tease the child!

Once she understood, Feng Shayan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xiaomai with a smile in her eyes.

As the saying goes, when people have nothing to do, they want to cause trouble, and Feng Shayan is no exception to this rule!
To be honest, she's been having a rather boring time lately, spending her days eating, playing, or going out shopping.

Now, reminded by Nan Lixiang, Feng Shayan's playful side suddenly resurfaced: after all, teasing children occasionally seems like a pretty good thing.

So, with this in mind, after Nanri Kaori finished speaking, Feng Shayan immediately composed herself and cooperated perfectly with Nanri Kaori's words. She pretended to be arrogant, looked down at Xiao Mai, and said in a disdainful tone:
"Exactly, she doesn't seem to have anything outstanding about her. What makes you think you can become Mr. Wu Tong's apprentice, you little brat?"

"Come on, fight me. If you win, I won't have any objections to this matter. I'm even willing to apologize. But if you lose, then you'd better take the initiative and go find Mr. Wu Tong to sever ties..."

"Huh?! A fight?! With me?!"

When Umaru heard what the two girls said, she was completely dumbfounded.

She had initially thought the two women who suddenly showed up at her door were bad people, but now it seemed they weren't really that bad, but the situation looked even worse!

That tone, that behavior, that rhetoric... This, this, this is clearly someone looking for trouble!
Thinking of this, Xiaomai suddenly panicked.

You have to understand that she hasn't even reached the extraordinary level yet, and hasn't become an extraordinary being!

Faced with an invitation from a superhuman, how could she possibly fight back with her head?

Moreover, even if she were still an ordinary person, or even if she had already reached the extraordinary level, embarked on the path of cultivation, and become an extraordinary being, it wouldn't necessarily mean she could defeat these two women who were clearly not simple!
After all, whether it's combat experience, life experience, or equipment and items, she can't compare to her in any way!

Seeing Feng Shayan standing arrogantly before her, eager to attack, Xiao Mai immediately shrank back in fear, frantically searching for a solution in her mind:

what to do? !

Should we fight?
If I agree... I'll get beaten to death, right?

But if I don't agree, it seems like these two women won't let me off the hook!

Waaaaah... Master, I'm so scared, why haven't you come to find me yet...

……

Just as the two women were showcasing their acting skills to the fullest, Xiao Mai was feeling uneasy and anxious.

Wu Tong, who had been leaning against the wall and had witnessed the whole farce, was now covered in black lines on his face.

You two are such drama queens! Aren't you afraid she'll be angry when she finds out you're teasing her like this?
I knew I shouldn't have brought you two along.

Seeing this, Wu Tong knew he couldn't continue. If he let these two women keep playing around, his hard-won apprentice might be ruined by them.

So Wu Tong interrupted their performance directly, saying:
"Alright, you two really have no shame. How old are you, still joking around with a little girl? Really..."

"Master~"

Before Wu Tong could finish speaking, Xiao Mai, with her sharp ears, recognized whose voice it was.

She immediately transformed into a two-headed hamster, then slid to her knees and rushed to Wu Tong, hugging his leg and looking at him with teary eyes, as if waiting for him to stand up for her.

Crying, you're crying?

Upon seeing Umaru's teary eyes, both Wu Tong, who was being clung to, and Nanri Kaori, who had just scared Umaru to tears, were at a loss for what to do.

Nan Lixiang and Feng Shayan, in particular, looked rather flustered. They just wanted to play with their little apprentice, so how did they suddenly scare him to tears?

"Cough cough... Umaru, don't cry. These two older sisters are just joking with you. They won't really hurt you."

Looking at Xiaomai, whose face was streaked with seaweed and tears, Wu Tong apologetically patted Xiaomai's head to comfort her. Then, he pointed to the two girls and introduced them to Xiaomai:

"By the way, let me introduce you. This beautiful lady with white hair and slightly dark skin is called Feng Shayan, and this beautiful lady with purple hair and slightly dark skin is called Nan Lixiang. They are both my wives, and also your master's wives!"

"When I was about to come over and arrange some perks for you, they overheard me. So I decided to come and see you too. After all, you're my first apprentice, and it's quite intriguing..."

"Master's wife? She's come to see me?"

Upon hearing Wu Tong's explanation, Hamster immediately blinked its big, teary eyes and looked at Wu Tong with disbelief.

Master!
Are you serious?

Even if they really were my master's wives, the way they acted just now clearly made it seem like they wanted to tear me to pieces!
(Wu Tong: ...From a generally rational perspective, I think you might be a bit paranoid!)

"Wu Tong, you can introduce me, but why say I'm dark-skinned? My skin tone is clearly a healthy wheat color, okay?"

Nanlixiang listened to Wu Tong's introduction and retorted somewhat angrily.

Not only Nan Lixiang, but Feng Shayan, who was standing next to her, also glared angrily at Wu Tong.

It seems that every girl cares a lot about her appearance!
Seeing that the two girls were angry, Wu Tong quickly raised his hands in surrender and apologized helplessly, "Hey hey~ My dear Marseille, it's my fault!"

Upon seeing this, the two women rolled their eyes at Wu Tong, whose apology lacked any sincerity.

Then, Nanri looked down at the hamster, Umaru, who was clinging to Wu Tong's leg, her eyes filled with tears, looking extremely pitiful:
So cute!

Perhaps because it has become a chibi hamster named Umaru, the overall art style of Umaru has become more cute.

With its chibi-style design, hamster-like sleeping posture, and that pitiful look with tears streaming down its face...

Multiple factors combined and complemented each other, which directly allowed Umaru to win over Minami Rika's heart.

Nanri Kaori couldn't help but want to hug the child.
