Douluo Continent: Angels Descend, Glory Reborn

Su Chen's lips curved upwards almost imperceptibly.

At this moment, Wang Dong was also sizing up Su Chen.

The moment Su Chen entered, Wang Dong noticed him. There was no way around it; Su Chen's appearance and temperament, even though he had tried to conceal them, were still exceptionally good. Coupled with the unique aura cultivated through two lifetimes and a divine-level martial soul, he still stood out from the crowd.

A clear look of surprise flashed in Wang Dong's beautiful pinkish-blue eyes, followed by a faint sense of amazement, and even a moment of distraction.

"This...this guy..." Wang Dong's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. "He's...too good-looking! Even better than me..."

From childhood, whether in the Haotian Sect or later when she secretly ran away, she had long been accustomed to being the center of attention. She also had enough confidence in her appearance.

But to her utter surprise, in the freshman dormitory of Shrek Academy, she would encounter someone whose appearance and temperament made her feel... somewhat inferior at first glance?

The other person had a tall and straight posture, with neat and tidy long golden hair and an impeccably handsome face, especially his deep eyes, which were calm and still, yet seemed to be able to reflect people's hearts.

However, Wang Dong is Wang Dong after all; pride is almost ingrained in her bones. She quickly regained her composure after that moment of distraction.

She gently raised her chin, her pinkish-blue eyes looking at Su Chen. She spoke first, her voice clear and melodious, with the unique brightness of a young person, but also carrying a habitual, condescending tone:

"My name is Wang Dong. You must be my new roommate?"

Su Chen snapped out of his thoughts, calmly met her gaze, nodded, and said in a gentle voice, "Su Chen."

After a brief self-introduction, Wang Dong's beautiful eyes swept over Su Chen again, then she pointed to the dormitory and uttered words that bore a striking resemblance to a certain scene from the original story in Su Chen's memory:

"Since you're fairly handsome and you're my roommate, I'll allow you to live with me for the time being." Wang Dong's tone carried a sense of entitlement, as if agreeing to let Su Chen live here was an immense favor.

She stretched out her long, slender, white fingers and began to list them off one by one, her pinkish-blue eyes gleaming with an undeniable light:

"However, I have a few rules that you must remember and follow."

"First, no one is allowed to bring random people back to the dormitory, especially those who are unruly and don't know anything. This is where we cultivate and rest, and it needs to be quiet."

"Second, pay attention to personal hygiene and appearance. You are not allowed to be naked in the dormitory, as it is annoying to others." When she said this, her ears seemed to turn slightly red, but her tone remained firm.

"Third, you are not allowed to snore at night. If you disturb my rest and affect my cultivation the next day, I will not allow it."

"Fourth, do not disturb me when I am cultivating or doing other things."

She paused, a mischievous glint in her pinkish-blue eyes, and continued:

"Fifth, and most importantly—"

She pointed to the clean floor and desk: "From now on, you'll be responsible for the cleanliness of the dorm. Of course," she emphasized, pointing to her neatly made bed and elegant suitcase, "you don't need to touch my bed and personal belongings; I'll take care of them myself."

After saying that, she slightly raised her chin, looking at Su Chen with an expression that seemed to say, "How about it? My rules are reasonable, aren't they? Hurry up and agree with gratitude!"

Su Chen looked at her quietly, his face showing no sign of being offended or angry. Instead, a knowing look and a faint smile flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Just as I thought." He thought to himself.

This arrogant, self-centered, slightly domineering, and somewhat childish "three rules" are almost identical to those Wang Dong had when she first met Huo Yuhao in the original novel. This young lady's style really is... unchanged.

But Su Chen wasn't the Huo Yuhao from the original story who initially indulged Wang Dong in every way, even showing some "simp" tendencies. He had his own pride and the means to back it up, and he was well aware of the potential conflict between himself and this "daughter of the God King" and her father. From the very beginning, he had no intention of indulging her temper.

So, after listening to Wang Dong's five "rules," Su Chen not only didn't agree or argue as she expected, but instead nodded slightly and said in a calm, almost scrutinizing tone:

"Rules, that sounds good."

A hint of smug satisfaction flashed in Wang Dong's light blue eyes, as if she knew what was good for her, when Su Chen changed the subject and continued in his calm, even voice:

"From now on, we'll do things your way."

"Huh?" Wang Dong was taken aback, instinctively feeling that something sounded off. Follow my rules? Isn't that obvious?

Before she could think it through, Su Chen's next words made her beautiful eyes widen instantly.

"If you behave well, I might reluctantly allow you to continue living with me."

Su Chen's tone was calm, even casual, as if he were discussing the weather, but the meaning behind his words was like a small hammer that hit Wang Dong hard on the forehead.

"Wh...what?!" Wang Dong was stunned, taking a full two seconds to react. When she finally understood what he meant—not that he was following her rules, but that he "allowed" her to follow "his rules" and "charitably" allowed her to continue living there—an unbelievable sense of absurdity and an angry outburst surged to her head.

Her delicate, beautiful face flushed instantly, her pinkish-blue eyes filled with shock and embarrassment: "You... what nonsense are you spouting! These are the rules I set! I gave you permission to stay here! You..."

"My rules are my rules." Su Chen interrupted her, his voice still not loud, but with an unquestionable certainty. He looked at her calmly, as if stating a very simple fact.

"!!!" Wang Dong was absolutely furious. In all her life, whether she was the center of attention at the Haotian Sect or secretly running away to see the outside world, she had never encountered anyone so... so annoying, so arrogant, so unreasonable!

But this person also has a handsome face that makes you not angry... no, it makes you even angrier!

"Su! Chen!" Wang Dong practically spat out the words through clenched teeth, his chest heaving with anger. "You...you're utterly unreasonable! I challenge you!"

She took a sudden step forward, her pinkish-blue eyes fixed on Su Chen, burning with an indomitable spirit: "Between Soul Masters, strength speaks! You've lost. From this day forward, in this dormitory, you must follow my rules completely! No objections allowed!"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at the beautiful little cat before him, who seemed to have had its tail stepped on and was baring its teeth and claws. His mischievous amusement grew stronger. He deliberately hesitated for a moment, and only when Wang Dong thought he was scared did he slowly speak:

"A challenge? Sure."

"However," he paused, his gaze sweeping over Wang Dong's face, which was even more vivid with anger, "what if you lose?"

"I lost?" Wang Dong scoffed dismissively, as if she had heard the funniest joke. She had absolute confidence in her abilities!
