Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

early morning

The faint light of dawn shone through the curtains onto the faces of the two people in dormitory room 108.

Wang Dong's eyelids trembled slightly, his expression pained, then he suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Hurry up!"

The loud scream woke Yu Wudao from his sleep. He sprang up almost instantly, his dark eyes turning into golden vertical pupils as he quickly looked around.

The dilapidated wooden door, the beige curtains, and the white walls—it's definitely a dormitory.

After the initial confusion, Yu Wudao lowered his guard and said in an annoyed tone:

"Wang Dong, are you crazy? What are you yelling about so early in the morning? Do you even know what time it was yesterday...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Dong snapped out of his daze and lunged at Yu Wudao, grabbing him tightly in his arms.

The soft jade embraced him, interrupting Yu Wudao's rebuke. Feeling the pajamas on his chest gradually becoming damp, he felt unusually embarrassed.

"What happened?"

Wang Dong buried his head in Yu Wudao's chest and said in a choked voice:

"You beast! How dare you ambush me! Do you know how worried I was about you? Do you know how horribly you died in my dream just now?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wudao, his face darkening, pried Wang Dong's head off his chest and looked at her tear-streaked face, saying:

"It's all your fault! I told you to run, but you wouldn't. Why did you stay and get in the way? Besides, look at me now, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Wang Dong sniffled and said, feeling wronged:

"That's a Soul Emperor! Who knew you actually had a way? I thought you were just trying to..."

At this point, a blush rose on Wang Dong's fair cheeks, and she stopped talking.

Yu Wudao felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this. Although Wang Dong was indeed a genuine beautiful girl, she looked like a little boy at this moment. Yu Wudao could not tolerate a little boy making such a gesture in front of him.

He quickly reached out and forcefully pulled Wang Dong off him, then threw her back onto his bed.

"What are you doing?"

"snort--"

Wang Dong grumbled unhappily, thinking to herself, "Wait till I show my true face, and you'll be mesmerized! You won't even let me hug you then, even if you beg me!"

Seeing that Wang Dong had stopped causing trouble, Yu Wudao was relieved.

"Since you're already up, let's go. We should have breakfast and then head to class."

Yu Wudao picked up his toothbrush and towel, preparing to wash up first.

"Wait a minute, what's wrong with that lunatic from yesterday?"

Seeing that Yu Wudao was about to leave, Wang Dong realized that she hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he quickly asked.

"She's just a madwoman. I've already punished her. The academy should compensate you in a while, so don't worry."

Rooster Yan

Yu Wudao thought to himself.

"oh."

Wang Dong was relieved to see that Yu Wudao had handled the situation properly, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked anxiously:

"Oh no! Where are my fish?! Wudao, did you put them away for me?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wudao glanced at the jade pendant hanging above his bed and calmly said:

"I can't open your storage soul tool, and I'm in a hurry to get it back for you, so I'll have to release the fish."

Wang Dong narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Really?"

Yu Wudao showed no fear, patted his chest, and looked directly at Wang Dong, saying:

"Of course! If you really want to eat fish, I'll treat you to grilled fish tonight! Eat your fill, I guarantee it'll be delicious!"

His lying skills were unparalleled; he could spout endless lies without batting an eye, and Wang Dong couldn't detect a single flaw.

"Okay! If the grilled fish isn't good tonight, you'll have to give me that fishing rod!"

Yu Wudao rolled his eyes at her. "You wish!"

The day passed quickly, the sun began to set in the west, and evening arrived.

Today is Shrek's day off.

Yu Wudao led Wang Dong toward the snack street outside Shrek West Gate.

"Is the delicious grilled fish you're talking about right here?"

Yu Wudao said in a teasing tone:

"What's wrong? Young Master doesn't like street food stalls?"

Wang Dong snorted coldly and did not respond.

The two arrived outside, where a long queue had already formed in front of a barbecue stall.

It was the legendary "Little Huo Grilled Fish," and besides Huo Yuhao, there were three other figures standing beside him: Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi had been thinking about Huo Yuhao's grilled fish for the past few days because of Jiang Nannan's situation, hoping to use Huo Yuhao's grilled fish to get closer to Jiang Nannan, while Bei Bei came along simply because Tang Ya liked it.

Seeing that there were familiar faces present, Yu Wudao abandoned his idea of ​​using the Little Demon King's "intimidation" ability to cut in line and led Wang Dong directly to the four of them.

"You wicked person? How come you have the leisure to come here?"

Beibei was also a little surprised to see Yu Wudao, after all, he had very picky tastes and would basically never patronize such a snack street.

At the same time, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he had forgotten something.

Yu Wudao pointed at Wang Dong, "Serve the young master."

He reached out and snatched the two intact grilled fish from Beibei's hand, handing them to Wang Dong and nodding in acknowledgment.

"Try it. If it's not good, I'll beat Beibei up."

Wang Dong accepted the grilled fish without the slightest hesitation. As the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company," and after being influenced by Yu Wudao, the demonic tendencies within her were beginning to emerge. If it were before, she would never have accepted food snatched from someone else.

She looked at the grilled fish in her hand with some curiosity, as if she had never seen such food before. She parted her pink lips slightly and took a small bite.

Just then, Tang Ya finished her food and turned around to find Wang Dong enjoying her meal.

He immediately started breathing on it, "What are you doing? This is my grilled fish?!"

The unprecedented flavors exploded on Wang Dong's taste buds, but before she could continue, Tang Ya's scolding interrupted her.

"What do you mean 'your'? This was given to me by Wudao! It's mine!"

Wang Dong naturally wouldn't indulge her; in her opinion, no one except Yu Wudao could breathe on her.

"That was stolen by Yu Wudao! This is the grilled fish that Beibei prepared for me!"

The argument between the two interrupted Bei Bei's thoughts. He immediately came back to his senses and felt a headache coming on when he saw the two arguing. He quickly began to comfort Tang Ya.

Huo Yuhao now had his hands free, and when he turned around, he found that there were two more people behind him.

"The class monitor?"

He exclaimed in surprise, and Yu Wudao nodded at him.

"The grilled fish is delicious, very tasty. Teach me how to make it sometime; I have some good fish that I can't let go of."

Huo Yuhao immediately waved his hand sheepishly, "It's just a little trick. In front of someone as outstanding as the class monitor, it's nothing but a clever trick. I wouldn't dare to show it off."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao handed over two more grilled fish.

"I also want to thank the class monitor for recommending me to the Soul Guidance Department, where I grew a lot!"

Yu Wudao did not refuse and accepted it naturally.

This person will become his chief scientist in the future, so what's wrong with him reaping some benefits in advance?
