CH 24: Wang Dong

Ali let out a snicker as he took the chicken leg and took a bite before nodding :"true that. So what's up? How've you been? What have you been up to?"

Xuan Zi shrugged nonchalantly :"the same as always. Just lazing around and eating delicious food along with tasty wine. What about you? How was your little adventure in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Ali shrugged as well while enjoying the delicious chicken :"mine wasn't that out of normal either. But we did come across something interesting."

And so, Ali began to tell him whatever he had told Xiaotao just a little while ago. He was going to find out in a few months anyway, so it wouldn't make that much of a difference.

After telling him everything that had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest and about Yuhao, he burned the chicken bone in his hand :"so? What do you think?"

But Xuan Zi was as nonchalant as before as he took a sip from his bottle gourd :"let's wait and see first.

His martial soul is very rare, but he himself is too weak. We'll wait and see if he can prove himself worthy to stay here."

Ali nodded without thinking about it too much, after all, Yuhao was going to stay with or without his help :"alright, but I feel like he will. So don't forget him.

By the way, it suddenly popped up in my head, but how do you grade martial souls? Like, there are top grade martial souls and trash martial souls, so how do you grade body martial souls?"

Xuan Zi took another sip before answering :"the body martial souls are graded according to how important that part of the body is.

For example, which one is more important, the arms or the lungs? It's obviously the lungs, because you can breathe thanks to them.

So that means that the lungs would have a higher grade as a martial soul compared to the arms.

And since your martial soul is your heart, it's the highest grade body martial soul along with the brain.

That boy, Huo Yuhao's martial soul is his eyes, so it's also relatively high grade as well. And since it's also a spiritual attribute, it's connected to the brain as well. But just a little."

Ali had a look of realization as he nodded a few times :"I see, I see. So it's like that, huh?... But then... what if the body martial soul is the dick...???"

The moment his voice fell, Xuan Zi spat out the alcohol that he had just drank as he burst into laughter :"HAHAHAHAHA!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Hahaha, oh hahaha, crap hahaha! Hahaha, sigh, Ali, you're seriously just something else.

But thinking about it, I'm not really sure about the answer. After all, to a man, it's the most important body part.

However, a man still won't die if he loses it. So it might be on the same grade as the Spirit Eyes of that Huo Yuhao kid."

Ali nodded before his lips twitched in a manner of "I got a great joke, but I must say it before I laugh." So he said :"pft hehehe, but what the hell are the soul skills of that poor soul master will be?"

And the moment he said it, both of them burst into a fit of laughter, nearly crying as they joked and joked some more for a while.

Finally, Ali sighed after laughing for a bit before getting up :"alright then, I'll be going now, gramps. See you later.

Xuan Zi nodded as he swung around a chicken leg that he had taken out of his storage device :"yeah, take care of yourself. And thanks for the laugh by the way. It has been a while since I had laughed that hard."

Ali nodded with a smile :"you're welcome." And then he released his martial soul. The beautiful and mesmerizing dark purple wings spread from behind him as a black skin completely covered his arms with dark purple spots here and there!

After he flapped his wings and flew away, Xuan Zi couldn't help but shake his head in amusement when he saw Ali's lightborne soul rings :"only level 35 and all of his lightborne soul rings are 75,000 years old.

At this rate, they will all become 100,000 years old lightborne soul rings when he reaches level 40...

Heh, a level 40 soul ancestor with all of his soul rings being 100,000 years old, that's gonna give his opponents nightmares."

Ali had originally wanted to eat in the cafeteria of the outer courtyard, but Xiaotao had insisted for him to eat with her.

So he decided to do that another day as he enjoyed his lover's cooking. After walking around the outer courtyard for a while and checking it out, he returned to the dorms.

He greeted Mu En and walked towards his room, but didn't open the door. Instead, he walked towards Yuhao's room and knocked on the door :"Yuhao, it's me."

The door opened up after a few seconds and the shorter boy smiled politely at Ali :"Brother Ali, do you have some business with me?"

Ali smiled as he twisted his hand and bedding appeared on his hands :"here, take these. I bought them while I was out."

He didn't wait for Yuhao as he shoved them into his arms. But Yuhao tried to give the sheet and the blanket back with a troubled face :"w-what? I can't do that, brother Ali!"

However, Ali just kept the bedding in place with a single hand as he flicked Yuhao's forehead with the other hand :"just take it, silly. I've already bought them for you, so you should just enjoy the kindness and take it."

But Yuhao still had a troubled face :"b-but still, I can't just take stuff..." However, Ali wasn't taking no for an answer as he ruffled Yuhao's hair with a smile :"geez, just accept it!

Besides, since you call me brother, did you really think that I wouldn't look after you? I don't let just anybody call me brother, you know?

You need a healthy mind to be able to cultivate well. And you need to be able to sleep well and comfortably to have a healthy mind. So just take it."

Finally, Yuhao gave up with a sigh before he nodded with a small smile :"alright, thank you, brother Ali. I will definitely remember this kindness."

Ali chuckled before he nonchalantly waved his hand and walked to his own room :"yeah yeah, sure. Bye now, see you later."

He walked into his room to see his room still empty and without a trace of anybody else :'Sigh, when is my femboy going to arrive?!!?!'

Having nothing else to do while waiting, Ali just sat cross legged on his bed and started to cultivate.

One thing Ali really liked about himself was the fact that he could focus so hard on something that he would forget everything else.

This level of focus really came in handy for cultivation. Because while he focused on cultivating, the day had already turned to night and the morning had arrived after that! Finally, Ali's eyes gently fluttered open.

He took in a deep breath before getting up with a groan, because groaning when standing up is a ritual that guy's must do :'I cultivated for such a long time, I guess Wang Dong will arrive anytime soon.'

And as if waiting for him to wake up, the door opened and a youth walked in! The youth had a delicate appearance, as well as fair skin.

His large eyes were very unusual; they were actually a faint pinkish blue. His settled hair that reached his lips was also the same color.

His appearance seemed to be even more handsome than Beibei! But he still wasn't as handsome as Ali.

Seeing him, Ali was honestly a little mesmerized. Sure, he had seen the most beautiful girl in the current world, but Xiaotao was still a girl!

She was the most beautiful girl that Ali had ever seen, and this youth that Ali recognized as Wang Dong was the most beautiful boy he had seen!

Wang Dong, who had just walked in, was shocked too! He had never seen such a handsome guy in his life!

With his jet black hair that was darker than the night and the gem-like scarlet eyes that seemed like they could steal someone's soul away, he was even more handsome than him!

He was also a little taller than him, with a sturdier build. However, both of them got out of their shock as Ali internally screamed :'ahhhh!!!

So fucking cute!!! I fucking knew it, femboys just have their own unique charm to them!! Who's fucking idea was it to make Wang Dong into a girl anyway?!

He looks a lot better as a male! At first, I was dying to see Wang Dong reveal that he's a girl, but after becoming a man of culture, I knew just how wrong I was!

Because even before I became a man of culture, I lost all interest in the story once Wang Dong revealed his identity!

The fact that he was a femboy just pulled me into the story, but after he stopped being Wang Dong, I lost interest in the story. But he's actually a guy now, baby!!'

A small, almost invisible smile formed on Ali's face as he raised an eyebrow :"are you perhaps my roommate?"

Wang Dong also calmed down, although there was a blush on his face, before he said with a haughty tone :"move!"

Ali's lips twitched in annoyance. Normally, he would beat the shit out of the person who talked to him like that, but he decided to be patient this time.

So he stepped aside and let Wang Dong move towards his own bed before throwing his backpack on it.

He then turned towards him with his arms folded in front of his chest :"You also live in this dorm room, I assume.

Since you've cleaned this room up so well, I'll allow you to live with me for now. I have a few rules that you must remember: One, you're not allowed to randomly bring other people back to this room.

Two, you're not allowed to bare your disgusting naked body in this room. Three, you're not allowed to snore at night.

Four, you're not allowed to bother me. Five, you're in charge of the cleanliness of this room in the future, but you can't touch my bed. Do you understand clearly?"

Ali was mad. Oh. So. Mad. But at the same time, he was so amused that he couldn't help but laugh :"hahaha, interesting! So interesting.

One, I don't even like bringing people into my living space. Two, boy, people would die and kill to see my naked body, yet you call it disgusting?

Three, I'm not one to snore, I sleep like an angel. Four, I will bother whoever the hell I want, and I'm gonna bother you a whole lot just to annoy you.

And 5, not only will I not clean the room, I will MAKE you do it. And most importantly, why the hell would I listen to you?"

Wang Dong's eyebrows twitched as he glared and coldly declared :"If you don't listen to me, I'll simply throw you out. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try."

Ali flashed a toothy, angry smile as he snorted :"fine then, let's see whatcha got, pretty boy."

As he looked at Ali's unsubmissive appearance, Wang Dong actually laughed. His smile was very good looking, but the disdain and contempt in it weren't hidden at all :"hey, what's your name?"

Ali snorted with a smirk as he answered :"Ashborne Ali, what's yours?" Wang Dong smiled as he suddenly approached Ali :"very good.

I think that your name shall quickly disappear from Shrek Academy. Let's go, idiot." As he said this, he took the initiative to turn around and walk out of the room.

Ali bit his bottom lip in anger with a smile as he clawed his hand :'ohhh boy, I will NOT go easy on your ass when I'm spanking the brat out of you!'
