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

As night deepened, the wooden door of dormitory room 108 quietly opened.

The creaking sound was unusually jarring.

Wang Dong suddenly looked up, only to find to his dismay that there was still nothing at the doorway.

Is it the wind?

She put on a coat to cover her bandaged body, and with difficulty, she got down to the ground, holding onto the foot of the bed, and walked to the door with a limp.

Looking out the door, the window at the end of the corridor was swaying in the evening breeze.

Countless nights and countless times, she had looked towards the door with such anticipation, only to be met with disappointment each time.

Even so, every time the willow branches pattered against the window, every time the cold wind blew through the doors and windows, she still looked forward to it.

"Why--"

She sighed, turned her head back, closed the wooden door again, and locked it.

"You locked the door. What if I come back in the middle of the night?"

A deep male voice sounded in her ear. Wang Dong turned around abruptly in disbelief, and looking at that familiar figure, her eyes instantly filled with tears.

"You're coming back to sleep on the streets!"

"You damn fool, you finally come back! Where have you been gallivanting off to?!"

With a sob in her voice, she raised her fist to strike Yu Wudao.

However, he raised his hand too quickly, causing the pajamas he was wearing to fall to the ground instantly.

Her fair body, wrapped in white bandages, was thus displayed before Yu Wudao.

"Wow~"

Yu Wudao stroked his chin, admiring the display without any hesitation, and praised:

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

"Not bad at all!"

There are advantages to not wearing it, and there are advantages to wearing it! Besides, the necklace's disguise doesn't seem to be all-encompassing.

Although Wang Dong doesn't show any very obvious female characteristics right now, she doesn't look like a boy either.

Her skin was fair and soft. After his spiritual power was enhanced to an epic level, Yu Wudao could even clearly see the faint red marks on the edge of the bandage, fully demonstrating what it meant to have "ice-like skin and jade-like bones"! Combined with her overall physique and body curves, she looked like a girl with an "airport".

"Eh—"

Wang Dong blushed and hurriedly bent down to pick up his pajamas from the ground, but he ignored his own injuries.

Click~

A crisp cracking sound echoed in the quiet dormitory. Wang Dong had just bent over when she froze, her body stiffening in a "warmly inviting" posture.

Her face flushed red, and the shame in her heart even overwhelmed the physical pain. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

Yu Wudao's lips curled up as he walked up to Wang Dong, squatted down, and whispered in her ear:

"Do you need my help, young master?"

Wang Dong's already rosy cheeks instantly turned even redder, as if they were flushed with blood. She nodded slightly, not daring to look at Yu Wudao at all.

Having received the answer, Yu Wudao stood up and was about to carry Wang Dong to the bed when a round little bottom came into view.

Yu Wudao was a man who never wronged himself. Once he had an idea, he would act on it directly. He stretched out his right hand and slapped it out decisively.

"Snap—"

"Eek—! Oh dear~"

Wang Dong instantly reacted like a startled rabbit, kicking her legs to run away. However, due to her unusual state, this emergency action caused her body to fall uncontrollably to the ground.

She could only shout in shame and anger, "Yu Wudao! You heartless bastard!"

As the ground drew closer, Wang Dong closed his eyes in fear.

boom!

Wang Dong bumped into something, but not the ground; instead, he was met with a strong and warm embrace.

Opening his eyes, he saw Yu Wudao's heroic profile and turned to look at Wang Dong.

"So can you tell me how you got all these injuries?"

Yu Wudao had only recently returned to the academy and was completely unaware that Wang Dong had led him to single-handedly enter the freshman competition.

He gently placed Wang Dong on the bed, and then lay down himself.

"What are you doing? This is my bed! Get off now and go sleep in your own bed!"

Wang Dong reached out and started shoving Yu Wudao, but her strength was no match for Yu Wudao's.

He just lay there, and no matter how hard Wang Dong tried, he couldn't move him an inch.

"Tell me what happened to this injury first, and then I'll consider whether I want to go back to my own bed to sleep."

Wang Dong gave a haughty snort, turned away, closed his eyes, and ignored Yu Wudao.

"Go ahead and sleep if you want, I can't resist you now anyway."

As she spoke, Wang Dong's cheeks flushed red again.

It would be too embarrassing for her to say that she single-handedly made it to the finals for Yu Wudao, even revealing her twin martial souls and a host of trump cards in advance, and even being beaten up and having several bones broken.

"Not going to tell?"

Yu Wudao has an extremely strong desire to control Wang Dong and will obviously not give up so easily.

He made a move to get up, saying:

"Then I'll ask Teacher Wang Yan; he'll definitely know why."

"Eh—"

Wang Dong quickly reached out and grabbed Yu Wudao's sleeve.

"Teacher Wang Yan is asleep at this hour, what are you doing there?"

"It's okay, I have a key to the teachers' dormitory."

Wang Dong gripped Yu Wudao's sleeve tightly, speaking with a mixture of urgency and exasperation:

"Did I mean I was worried you wouldn't be able to get in? Everyone's asleep right now, and you want to wake them up just to ask about this? Is that appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? A spoiled brat of my caliber has the right to bare his teeth at anyone!"

Yu Wudao puffed out his chest, looking proud.

He then added:

"Don't want to wake him? Then tell me. If you tell me, I won't have to ask. Otherwise, I'll definitely find out today."

Yu Wudao lay down again, looking like a stubborn mule.

Wang Dong mumbled for a long time, but finally relented with a slightly flushed face.

"Alright then, I'll tell you, don't bother Teacher Wang Yan anymore."

If Yu Wudao were to go through all that trouble to wake Wang Yan, only to find out she was a stubborn and arrogant person, it would be even more embarrassing.

Yu Wudao nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Wang Dong blushed slightly and stammered:

"You kept talking about the freshman competition, but then you disappeared without a word when it came time to form groups. And then... and then..."

Yu Wudao's eyes were strange as he asked in return:

"And then you formed a whole team just to take me with you, only to get beaten half to death?"

"Bang!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a small pink fist landed firmly on Yu Wudao's chest.

Wang Dong, blushing with shame and indignation, said:

"Why are you talking so rudely?! And do you think I'm that weak?! I fought my way to the semifinals all by myself! Semifinals, you know? And it hasn't even started yet! It's not impossible for me to win the championship by myself, I'm telling you!"

And what are you being so presumptuous about!

She turned her head and then whispered:

"I was just testing my abilities, and bringing you along was just a side effect! A side effect, you understand? What does 'for you' mean...?"

Wang Dong said a lot in one breath.

However, after she finished speaking, she seemed to recall the painful experiences of the past few days, and with Yu Wudao right beside her, a surge of grievances began to well up in her heart.

Those beautiful big eyes instantly became moist. Wang Dong quickly closed his eyes, not wanting Yu Wudao to notice anything amiss.

Yu Wudao stared blankly at Wang Dong, who was talking non-stop, until she closed her eyes and a tear slid down her cheek onto the pillow before she came back to her senses.

He smiled and forcefully pulled Wang Dong into his arms.

"It's okay, I'm here."

In the spiritual sea of ​​Yu Wudao

A milky-white mixture of spiritual substances floated quietly beside the gray bead.
