"Hey, Shane, since you're the boss of Dorm Seven, does that mean none of them can beat you?"
Because her butt hurt and sitting was uncomfortable, Xiao Wu took off her shoes and simply lay prone on Shane's bed.
Her pair of fair, delicate feet dangled and kicked playfully behind her, while she propped her little face up with her hands, looking at Shane, who was helping her unpack her luggage, and said with delight.
Before Shane could answer, Wang Sheng rushed to suck up, "Of course! Is there any need to even question Brother Chen's strength?"
Shane just smiled, taking it as a tacit agreement.
"Since that's the case, I want to be the boss too!"
Xiao Wu lifted her chin, her interest thoroughly piqued.
"Wait, you already lost to Brother Chen, so how can you be the boss?"
Wang Sheng and the others didn't understand. This little girl looked pretty, but how could she be so thick-skinned?
"Hmph, what's wrong with it? Can't I be the female boss?"
"If you're not convinced, how about we have a little spar too?"
Xiao Wu glared fiercely at Wang Sheng, raising her little fists in a show of defiance.
She had lost to Shane, but could she possibly lose to them?
Sure enough, as soon as they heard "spar," Wang Sheng and the others chickened out.
Although Xiao Wu had lost the previous fight, she had at least managed to exchange a few moves with Shane and held out for quite a while.
But if it were them, they'd probably be taken down by Brother Chen in a single encounter…
Clearly, their strengths weren't even in the same league!
Seeing the others fall silent, Xiao Wu said triumphantly, "From now on, I'm the female boss! You all have to call me Sister Xiao Wu, got it?"
"'Female boss'? 'Sister Xiao Wu'?"
"Are your feet even clean, daring to get on my bed?"
Shane got up, gave Xiao Wu's bottom a light smack, and said irritably.
"No way! Xiao Wu's feet aren't dirty at all!"
The little loli was not happy to hear that, and stuck her delicate feet out, trying to wriggle them towards the boy's chest.
Shane had no choice. Looking at those feet almost pushed right up to his mouth, he had to sit down on the bed and clamp them between his legs.
Perhaps it was due to her Soft Bone Demon Rabbit nature, but not only did Xiao Wu's feet lack any odor, they actually had a special, faint fragrance.
Seeing this, Shane didn't hesitate to use his hands, grabbing her delicate feet and starting to tickle her tender soles!
"Ha~ Ha! Shane, you big jerk!"
"Stop tickling, ha~! It tickles so much!"
How could Xiao Wu have ever endured such "torture"?
Tears of laughter were almost streaming from the little loli's eyes, her pearly toes wiggling along with her squirming body as she desperately tried to escape the scoundrel's clutches.
"Classmate Xiao Wu, who exactly is the boss of this Dorm Seven?"
Shane paused his actions and asked with a mischievous grin.
"Jerk~ I never said you weren't the boss!"
Xiao Wu was laughing so hard she had no strength left, lying prone on the bed, her body trembling as she finally caught her breath.
"Oh, is that so? You were calling yourself Sister Xiao Wu. In that case, aren't you going to hurry up and call me 'brother' to see how it sounds?"
"I… I…"
With Xiao Wu's disposition at this age, calling someone "brother" in that way would definitely be too embarrassing for her to say!
"Not going to say it? Fine, then I'll just continue."
Shane smiled faintly, and the tender, delicate feet were once again played with in his hands in various ways…
"Ah? Don't! I'll say it, I'll say it!"
Xiao Wu bit her red lip, clenched her little pink fists, and as if deeply humiliated, forced out those words.
"Brother… Shane~"
That "brother" was sweet enough to melt one's bones. Shane found it incredibly, thrillingly satisfying to hear!
"It really has to be Brother Chen! He can even handle this!"
Wang Sheng and the others discussed animatedly, praising Shane for winning back a round for their fellow men!
Xiao Wu also seized the chance when Shane's attention lapsed, quickly retracting her little feet and glaring at a certain someone with shame and indignation.
Shane turned his head away, deliberately avoiding her gaze, and looked towards the others hiding in the distance, asking, "Wang Sheng, we just arrived at the academy today. Why don't you tell us a bit about the situation here?"
"You got it, Brother Chen!"
"We work-study students basically work part-time while attending school. We have two classes every morning, and in the afternoon, we cultivate on our own and complete our work assignments…"
Wang Sheng also introduced the other roommates. Among these work-study students, his talent was considered relatively good; he had already reached Rank 9 spirit power.
"By the way, Brother Chen, Tang San, I still don't know what your spirit power levels are?" Wang Sheng suddenly asked, as if a thought struck him.
"Brother Shane and I both have Innate Full Spirit Power," Tang San answered.
"Innate Full Spirit Power!?"
All the students gasped in unison upon hearing this.
Wang Sheng was also astonished but felt a sense of balance in his heart. His spirit power level was inferior, so it was only natural that he lost.
After I get my spirit ring and advance to a Spirit Master, I might not be able to beat Brother Chen's mecha, but I'm sure Tang San's Blue Silver Grass will be no match for my Battle Tiger!
As everyone discussed spirit power levels, they overlooked a certain little rabbit…
"Hey, Shane, why didn't you ask me what my spirit power level is?"
Xiao Wu, displeased, sidled up to the scoundrel and tugged his clothes.
"Yo, I thought you were going to keep sulking?"
"Well then, Classmate Xiao Wu, what's your spirit power level?"
Shane didn't tease the little loli anymore and indulged her.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu reverted to her proud little rabbit persona: "Hmph, Sister Xiao Wu is, of course, also the most amazing Innate Full Spirit Power!"
Just as everyone was chatting happily, a teacher in his thirties walked in from outside the door.
"Where are this year's new work-study students? Come out for a moment."
This teacher had an ordinary appearance, light green hair, and was holding a set of bedding.
Shane helped Xiao Wu to her feet, and the two of them, along with Tang San, stepped forward.
"Which one of you is Tang San?"
"Teacher, I am!" The little runt quickly stepped forward.
"Here, Tang San, this is the bedding Grandmaster prepared for you."
After Tang San accepted the bedding with thanks, the teacher continued, "My name is Mo Hen. You can call me Teacher Mo."
"This year, I'll be responsible for arranging your work tasks. Right now, the north and south gardens both need daily cleaning."
"The south garden is larger and requires two people to manage, while the north garden is smaller but a bit further away."
"So, will you organize it yourselves, or shall I assign you?"
After Mo Hen finished speaking, he looked at the three children.
"Brother Shane, how about I go to the north garden?" Tang San immediately sought Shane's instruction.
"Sure, no problem!"
"And I believe Classmate Xiao Wu would also be very willing to work with me, right?"
Shane put his arm around the little loli's shoulder, the two of them looking like they got along very well.
"Tch, you big jerk!"
Xiao Wu wrinkled her nose and muttered under her breath but didn't resist.
After all, her mouth said no, but her body language said yes. Compared to a blockhead like Tang San, she still preferred to be with Shane.
Even though they bickered and fought, she found it quite interesting.
Moreover, only by staying with him could she get her revenge and restore Sister Xiao Wu's prestige!
After making a few excuses to herself, Xiao Wu blushed and nodded to Teacher Mo, signifying her agreement.
"Alright, then it's settled! You'll officially start classes and your work from the day after tomorrow."
"I'll check on you irregularly, so no slacking off, okay? Alright, you can continue resting now."
After saying this, Mo Hen left.
Returning to the bunks, Xiao Wu discovered a very serious problem!
Since work-study students had their tuition waived but weren't provided with daily necessities, and she hadn't prepared in advance…
She didn't have any bedding!
