Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 56 Shy Wang Dong

I reckon they'd be very surprised if I told Huo Yutong and the others about my trip to the inner courtyard.

Few would not be surprised to suddenly become a core disciple of the inner court.

Perhaps Huo Yutong and the others will be reluctant to part with him, and they may not react very strongly, since they only spent that much time together, which isn't a very long period.

I imagine how incredibly surprised my sisters will be when they enter the inner courtyard and discover that he has already entered.

[Ding! Huo Yutong has consumed the Soul Enhancement Pill, her soul power has increased, and she has begun to share it...]

[Ding! Congratulations on your soul power increasing.]

Deng Mu sensed his cultivation level and found that he was already at level 35, but he was still far from level 36 and wouldn't reach it anytime soon.

He remembered that Tang San and the others' cultivation speed slowed down after reaching the Soul Master level. After consuming the immortal herb, their levels increased significantly, and their talents were also changed.

Immortal herbs are the strongest cheat code in Douluo Continent, capable of defying fate and changing one's destiny.

Before he knew it, Deng Mu arrived at the dormitory door, opened it, and went inside.

"king……"

Deng Mu was stunned when he went in; all he saw was a vast expanse of white...

He had previously told Wang Dong that if she wanted to take a shower in the dorm, she should do so after dinner, while he went for a walk outside.

Wang Dong is a girl, so it's impossible for her to go to the men's public bathhouse.

As for the women's bathhouse?

That's even more impossible. She's a boy now. What happens when a boy goes into a women's bathhouse? You know what I mean.

"ah--"

It was only then that Wang Dong noticed Deng Mu, who had returned at some unknown time.

Wang Dong's face instantly turned bright red. Her terrified scream shattered the silence of the room. She frantically grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it tightly around her body. Her eyes were red with shame and indignation. "Deng Mu, when did you get back?"

Hearing Wang Dong's name called, Deng Mu snapped out of his daze and said as he backed away, "I'm sorry, Wang Dong, I didn't know you were taking a shower in the dormitory."

After saying that, he stepped outside and closed the dormitory door.

Although Shrek Academy is known for being stingy, the soundproofing in the dorm rooms is quite good, so it didn't attract the attention of other dorm rooms.

After a while, Wang Dong's voice, slightly calmer but still tinged with anger, came from inside the room: "Alright, come in."

Deng Mu cautiously pushed open the door and went in. He saw Wang Dong looking at him with his arms crossed, but Wang Dong's face was extremely red, like a ripe apple.

Looking at Wang Dong, Deng Mu scratched his head and said, "Wang Dong, I really didn't mean to. I didn't know you were taking a shower."

Wang Dong bit her lower lip, her cheeks burning, and scolded, "You, can't you be more careful! I'm so embarrassed, luckily no one else saw."

Feeling both ashamed and angry, she knew that she couldn't entirely blame Deng Mu, since they had made an agreement beforehand, and she had also been negligent in not paying attention to the sounds outside.

But the thought of her body being seen made her very embarrassed, even though she said she liked Deng Mu.

She sighed inwardly, thinking that she should learn from this experience and be more careful in the future.

Wang Dong thought for a moment and then changed the subject: "By the way, Deng Mu, where did you go?"

When she woke up, she found that Deng Mu was missing. She was worried that something had happened to him. She was relieved to learn from Huo Yutong that Deng Mu had left with an old man.

Deng Mu scratched his head and replied, "I just came from the dean's. He told me some things and brought some big news. I was in a hurry to get back to the dorm and wanted to share it with you as soon as possible, but I didn't expect to run into this embarrassing situation."

Wang Dong raised an eyebrow, her blush fading slightly, but her curiosity only intensified: "What big news? Don't keep me in suspense, tell me quickly."

Deng Mu cleared his throat and said, "The Dean has decided to make me a core disciple of the Inner Court. I can't say the specific reasons. Now I'm back to pack my things and go to the Inner Court."

Upon learning that Deng Mu had become a core disciple of the inner court, Wang Dong felt both happy and disappointed. He had met someone he liked, but they had to part ways after only a short time together.

A smile tugged at the corner of Wang Dong's lips, his eyes filled with complex emotions—joy for Deng Mu, but also a bittersweet feeling of parting. "Oh my, you little rascal, you've struck gold! Becoming a core disciple of the inner courtyard—that's such a rare thing! You're sure to have a bright future ahead of you!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and lightly punched Deng Mu's shoulder.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes slightly, a sense of melancholy rising in her heart. She thought to herself that she had just felt a connection with him and had developed different feelings for him, and now they had to part ways. She feared that it would be difficult to see him again in the future.

Wang Dong bit her lower lip lightly, paused for a moment before raising her face, "Hmph, but when you go to the inner courtyard, you mustn't forget our friendship as roommates. If you have any good resources or interesting things, you have to tell me right away."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Deng Mu nodded with a smile, "Wang Dong, don't worry, how could I forget! I remember our friendship. I'll come back to see you whenever I have the chance. If I can find any good items to help with cultivation in the inner courtyard, I'll try to bring them back for you."

Hearing Deng Mu's words, Wang Dong's face gradually turned red again.

Wang Dong quickly turned her head away, raised her hand to touch her burning cheeks, her heart pounding like a deer, and scolded, "Hmph, stop with the glib talk, take care of yourself first. The competition in the inner courtyard is going to be fierce, don't go there and get outdone."

Although his words were firm, his eyes were full of concern.

Looking at Wang Dong's expression, Deng Mu asked, "Wang Dong, are you reluctant to see me leave?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's heart skipped a beat, and her blush deepened. She retorted stubbornly, "Hmph, who would miss you? Don't be so conceited. I'm just... just worried that you'll be bullied in the inner courtyard and come back crying. Don't embarrass our dorm."

But even though she said that, she secretly admitted that she really couldn't bear to part with him. They had just started to develop a different feeling for each other, and now they had to separate. The dormitory would feel really empty without him.

Seeing this, Deng Mu knew that Wang Dong was not being sincere. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, I won't go to the inner courtyard today. I'll stay with you tonight, and I'll go to the inner courtyard tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Wang Dong's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, scoffing, "Hmph, who cares if you go a day later for me? Go whenever you want, just don't blame me when the dean gets angry."

A sweet feeling welled up inside her, wondering if he cared about her a little because he stayed an extra night for her.

Deng Mu looked at Wang Dong's little emotions, which he tried hard to hide but couldn't, and found them extremely cute. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll explain things to the dean. It won't be your fault. Besides, even if something does happen, I'll take responsibility."

Although he was still putting on a tough front, he couldn't suppress the slight upturn of his lips.

Hearing Deng Mu's words, Wang Dong felt a warmth in his heart, but he still wouldn't let it go, saying, "Hmph, at least you have a conscience, but you have to keep your word. If something really happens, you have to take full responsibility, don't try to renege on your promise later."

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes slightly, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. She thought to herself, "He can say that, so he must care about me quite a bit."
