Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 3 Freshman Dormitory

Just as he was speaking, several more freshmen walked by, but they obviously didn't notice the old man next to the building entrance and went straight in. The old man didn't stop them, but just sat there dozing off.

Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena quickly found their dormitory. The student dormitory was a dormitory building with long corridors and dormitory doors on both sides. The doors had numbers on them, and it was clear that the dormitory building was quite old and had been used for many years. There was a communal toilet at the end of each side of the corridor.

As they unlocked the door with the key, a blast of somewhat murky air rushed out. Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena quickly stepped aside. The room had been uninhabited for at least a month, and it was covered in a layer of dust.

Ye Qi'an frowned and said helplessly, "It seems we need to clean up properly first."

Gu Yuena nodded. "Okay, go clean up."

Ye Qi'an glanced helplessly at Gu Yuena and said, "Fine, you're the boss, so you make the decisions. You keep an eye on things from the sidelines."

After saying that, Ye Qi'an rolled up his sleeves, opened the window to ventilate the room and let some of the stale air out, then picked up a broom and began to carefully sweep the dust off the floor, starting from one corner of the room.

Each sweep raised a cloud of dust, causing Ye Qi'an to cough a few times, but he didn't stop.

Gu Yuena stood aside, watching Ye Qian'an's busy figure, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Little brat, you think I can't handle you?"

After sweeping the floor, Ye Qi'an found a damp cloth and began wiping the tables and chairs. The dust seemed to be stuck to them, and he had to put in some effort to clean them.

"This job is really tiring," Ye Qi'an muttered.

Gu Yuena laughed and said, "Who told you to agree so readily?"

Ye Qi'an rolled his eyes at her and continued to work hard. After a busy period, the room was finally much tidier. Apart from the two bare bed boards without bedding, it was quite clean.

Exhausted, Ye Qi'an slumped into a chair and said, "Finally, it's done."

Gu Yuena walked to Ye Qi'an's side, gently patted his shoulder, and said, "You've worked hard. Now let's think about how to solve the bed problem."

Ye Qi'an, panting, said, "What else can we do? We can only go and buy some bedding."

"Um, now here's the question: do you have any money?" Gu Yuena paused for a moment before asking. She had only brought cultivation resources with her, not money.

Ye Qi'an was taken aback for a moment, then said with a bitter face, "I really don't have any money."

Gu Yuena rolled her eyes and said, "I don't have any either. What should we do?"

The two exchanged a glance and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Ye Qi'an's eyes lit up, and he said, "Don't you dragons like to collect golden things? Do you think Di Tian might have some of those?"

Gu Yuena glared at Ye Qi'an and said, "What are you thinking?"

Ye Qi'an shrugged helplessly. "We can't just sleep on this bare bed, can we? You're his boss, it's not unreasonable for you to ask him for money, is it?"

Gu Yuena frowned and pondered for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Alright." As she spoke, Gu Yuena raised her hand and waved it, and a small black halo appeared in front of her.

"My lord," Di Tian's respectful voice came from within the halo.

Gu Yuena got straight to the point: "Di Tian, ​​I need some money."

Di Tian was slightly taken aback, then said, "My lord, I will prepare it for you immediately."

A moment later, two spatial rings flew out from the light circle and landed in Gu Yuena's hand. Gu Yuena looked at Ye Qi'an and said, "That should be enough."

"Rich lady, please take care of me!" Ye Qi'an looked at Gu Yuena as if she were a long-term sex ticket... no, a meal ticket.

Gu Yuena snorted, "Stop with the nonsense, hurry up and go buy some bedding."

Ye Qi'an chuckled and followed Gu Yuena to the market in Shrek City. The market was bustling with people, and the two quickly found a shop selling bedding.

The shop owner enthusiastically introduced the various styles and materials of bedding. Ye Qian was dazzled by the choices, while Gu Yuena quickly selected two that looked soft and comfortable. After paying, the two carried the bedding back home.

I had just returned to my dorm and hadn't even had a chance to catch my breath when I heard a commotion outside.

"What happened?" Ye Qi'an asked curiously, peeking out the window.

Gu Yuena also went to the window and looked outside.

At the dormitory entrance, the old man leaning back in his recliner slightly raised his head, a curious glint in his dim yellow eyes, and looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with great interest.

"Who do you think will win between the two of them?" Ye Qi'an suddenly asked.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's hard to say, but that kid with the 'ten-year' spirit ring is quite interesting. The million-year-old ice silkworm that Di Tian and the others were guarding in the Star Dou Great Forest has escaped."

"Don't you feel that there's something unusual about the other person?" Ye Qi'an said with a slight smile.

Gu Yuena was slightly taken aback, her gaze returning to Wang Dong. After carefully sensing him for a while, she said, "Now that you mention it, it is indeed somewhat special, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

Ye Qi'an said mysteriously, "You don't think I wouldn't pay attention to what's happening in the outside world while I was sealed by the Dragon God, do you?"

Gu Yuena looked at Ye Qi'an and asked疑惑地问道, "Then what exactly did you discover?"

Ye Qi'an lowered his voice and said, "Divine Soul."

Gu Yuena's expression turned serious, and she looked at Wang Dong again: "She's clearly a girl, yet she pretends to be a boy. What was she thinking? The Goddess of Light Butterfly, the Clear Sky Hammer twin martial souls, and the Sea God... Is she from the God Realm?"

"Yes and no. To be precise, she isn't right now, but that might not be the case in the future. I've already explained why," Ye Qi'an said, shaking his head.

Gu Yuena asked thoughtfully, "So, what impact do you think her appearance will have on us?"

Ye Qi'an shrugged: "It's hard to say right now, but we could try to win that boy over."

While the two were still exchanging words, the battle between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong outside the square was also coming to an end.

Between heavy breaths, Huo Yuhao growled, "Do you submit?"

"I won't listen, let me go!" Wang Dong roared, struggling violently.

"You won't admit defeat? If I had used a knife just now, you would be dead." Huo Yuhao roared defiantly.

"I lost, get up now," Wang Dong said angrily, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

"I can do the five things you mentioned earlier. Remember, if you dare to insult me ​​again, even if I die, I will at least bite off a piece of your flesh."

Huo Yuhao slowly released Wang Dong and stood up. He first faced him and took a few steps back before turning around and walking towards the dormitory. Wang Dong sat on the ground for a while before standing up again and walking slowly towards the dormitory.

As the commotion outside subsided, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena stopped paying attention and turned back to tidy up their dormitory.

As Gu Yuena tidied up the items, she said, "That boy does have some guts."

Ye Qi'an nodded: "It's true that they have guts, if they don't get plotted against in the future, but with us around, that's impossible."

Gu Yuena chuckled, "You're quite confident, aren't you? You put our beds next to each other."

"Huh? Men and women shouldn't touch each other, that's not good, especially since I'm still a child." Ye Qi'an's voice trembled almost imperceptibly.

Gu Yuena couldn't help but laugh out loud, her clear laughter echoing in the rather simple dormitory: "You little rascal, what on earth are you thinking about? Putting the beds together is just to save space and make it easier for us to cultivate in the future."

Ye Qi'an's face instantly turned bright red. He mumbled, his voice tinged with shyness and nervousness, "Uh, okay then, whatever you say."

"Uh what uh, hurry up, pull the bed over here." Gu Yuena frowned slightly, urging impatiently. Her voice was particularly clear in the small dormitory, carrying an undeniable determination.

Ye Qi'an pursed his lips, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but he still obediently pushed his bed next to Gu Yuena's bed. The two beds were placed close together, forming a simple double bed, although there seemed to be an invisible dividing line between them.

Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her gaze swept over the assembled bed as she said, "Alright, you've had a long day, get some rest." Her voice sounded tired, but still carried a sense of composure.

Ye Qi'an responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Mmm." After saying that, he carefully lay down on the bed, his body tense, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling.

Gu Yuena quickly lay down as well, and the dormitory fell silent.

After a while, Ye Qian couldn't help but break the silence, whispering, "Nana, are you asleep?"

Gu Yuena did not respond; she seemed to have already fallen asleep.

Ye Qi'an sighed softly, still thinking about the events of the day. Just as his thoughts were racing, Gu Yuena suddenly said, "Stop thinking nonsense and go to sleep."

Ye Qi'an was startled and muttered, "You're not asleep? I thought you were fast asleep."

Gu Yuena snorted, "How am I supposed to sleep with you tossing and turning like this?"

Ye Qi'an smiled sheepishly, finally forcing himself to close his eyes and try to fall asleep. After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qi'an drifted off to sleep.

Over the next two days, the new year's student recruitment finally came to an end, and the freshman dormitories became lively again. Although each dormitory room was small, it had the advantage of two people per room. It was bustling outside, but the dormitories were very soundproof.

Gu Yuena and Ye Qi'an have been cultivating non-stop these past few days. Ye Qi'an has the Dragon God Core, which he can use to cultivate, and Gu Yuena can also use the Dragon God Core to heal her injuries.
