Chapter 15 Roommate Xiao Xiao
Accompanied by Bi Ji and Zi Ji, Huo Yutong walked along the tree-lined path within Shrek Academy toward the freshman dormitory area.
As Huo Yutong walked, she curiously looked around at this academy that was famous throughout the continent.
"Yutong, was the decision you just made your true thoughts?" Biji asked softly.
Huo Yutong raised her head, "Yes! Sister Biling, I am really interested in both."
I want to understand them all first, and then decide which side I'll focus on more in the future, or... whether I can find a way to better combine them.
Upon hearing this, Zi Ji's face showed a hint of approval: "Not being swayed by one side and having your own opinions is very good."
Soon, they arrived at the freshman dormitory building. The white building looked very clean, and there was an old man in charge of management at the entrance.
The old man, with his white hair and beard, lay leisurely in a rocking chair. He glanced at them, his eyes sweeping over Bi Ji and Zi Ji's rings, and the scales strung on Huo Yutong's chest with a red string.
He instinctively sensed a trace of dragon's might, but it was too subtle. Tianmeng had only concealed the aura of the reverse scale given to him by Di Tian. He could also sense the icy power within Yutong's body.
After the three girls greeted the old man, they completed the simple check-in procedures. Huo Yutong received her dormitory key, which was room 106 on the first floor of the freshman building.
In the Shrek freshman dormitory building, the male and female dormitories are next to each other. The left door leads to the male dormitory, and the right door leads to the female dormitory, separated by a wall.
"Yutong, Ziyan and I live in the faculty and staff dormitory not far away in the faculty and staff area."
Brigitte gently instructed, "If you encounter any difficulties at the academy in the future, or if there is anything you are not used to, come to us anytime."
"Okay! I understand, thank you, Sister Biling and Sister Ziyan!" Huo Yutong felt a warm current flowing through her heart.
Although she was separated from her mother, having them by her side made her feel incredibly safe in this unfamiliar environment.
Huo Yutong entered the dormitory building and knocked on the door to make sure no one was home.
"They're here!" a cheerful voice rang out.
The person who opened the door was a girl who looked to be about the same age as Huo Yutong. She had long, dark green hair tied in a side ponytail.
When she saw Huo Yutong outside the door, a warm smile immediately bloomed on her face.
"Hello! Are you the new roommate? Please come in!" The girl stepped aside.
"Hello, I am Huo Yutong, and I have been assigned to dormitory 106."
Huo Yutong also gave a friendly smile and stepped into the dormitory.
The dormitory is a standard double room. The room is now neat and tidy. The bed by the window is made with light pink bedding, and there are some small and cute decorations on the desk.
"My name is Xiao Xiao!" The green-haired girl closed the door and followed with a grin. "Great! I was worried that I would be a difficult roommate!"
She generously extended her hand.
Huo Yutong also extended her hand and gently shook hands with her, feeling the other's warmth, "Please take care of me in the future, Xiao Xiao."
"Let's look out for each other!" Xiao Xiao looked Huo Yutong up and down curiously. "Your eyes are so beautiful! I hope we can be in the same class so we can attend classes together!"
Xiao Xiao said happily, then noticed Huo Yutong's empty bed and the storage soul tool on her wrist.
"You just arrived, right? Let me help you unpack! This dorm room isn't big, but it's just right for two people!"
As she spoke, she offered to help Huo Yutong tidy up. Huo Yutong felt a warmth in her heart and, with Xiao Xiao's help, began to organize her own bed and belongings.
Huo Yutong realized that apart from the clothes she wore when she left the Duke's mansion and the school uniform issued by Shrek Academy, she didn't have any suitable clothes. Counting today, it had only been a week since she was picked up by Senior Di Tian.
With the combined efforts of the two girls, Huo Yutong's bed was quickly made.
After getting ready, the two sat on the edge of their respective beds and began chatting like girls.
Xiao Xiao was an outgoing and talkative person, and she quickly poured out her situation like beans spilling out.
She comes from a sizable family in the Heavenly Soul Empire, and her martial soul is the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.
"Yutong, what is your martial soul? I see your eyes are particularly bright, is it related to your mental strength?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
"Yes, my martial soul is the Spirit Eye, which is mainly of the mental attribute."
"Spirit Eye! The eye is the main body's martial soul! Wow, that's a very powerful martial soul!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
Two girls of similar age will be classmates and roommates, and they will have a lot in common.
They chatted animatedly, sharing their impressions of the college and their expectations for the future.
As night fell, the guiding lights in the dormitory area went out one by one.
Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao agreed to go see the class assignments early the next morning (there were still 3 days before the official start of school), then stroll around Shrek City before starting their respective evening meditation practices.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Huo Yutong slowly closed her eyes and guided her soul power to circulate within her body according to the basic meditation method instructed by Elder Yi.
After a night of cultivation, Huo Yutong felt refreshed. After exchanging good mornings with Xiao Xiao, they went to wash up together, changed into their school uniforms, and went out for breakfast.
After breakfast, they went to check the class assignment notice together, only to find that it hadn't been released yet. Registration had only officially ended yesterday, and the teachers were busy working on a pile of materials.
"Yutong, I've been here for several days now. Let me show you around." Xiao Xiao took Huo Yutong's hand.
Xiao Xiao's enthusiasm was hard to refuse, and Huo Yutong was indeed full of curiosity about this unfamiliar Shrek City.
She smiled and nodded, "Okay, then thank you for your help, Xiao Xiao."
"Why are you being so polite with me!" Xiao Xiao smiled even more broadly when Huo Yutong agreed, and pulled her hand to walk outside.
"Let's start by exploring the shopping street next to the college. There are so many fun things to do and delicious food there!"
Xiao Xiao was clearly very familiar with this area. Like a dutiful little tour guide, she chattered away as she walked, introducing the area to Huo Yutong.
"Look over there, that's the academy's contribution point exchange center. In the future, we can exchange contribution points by completing academy tasks or using gold soul coins. We need contribution points to make purchases in many places within the academy!"
That's the Soul Arena over there. Upperclassmen often spar and compete there, and sometimes there are really exciting battles!
Oh, and there's the library! It's said to house the most comprehensive collection of ancient texts and cultivation manuals for Soul Masters on the continent, but different areas require different access levels and contribution points.
Huo Yutong listened attentively, her bright eyes curiously scanning her surroundings.
Stepping outside the college gates, the commercial street outside is full of vitality.
The wide streets are lined with shops, and the shouts of vendors selling all kinds of snacks rise and fall, filling the air with the aroma of food, spices and novel products.
"Yutong, look! This sugar figurine is so exquisite! Wow, the layered cake at this shop is delicious, let's buy some and try it!"
Xiao Xiao, like a happy little bird, lingered with Huo Yutong at various stalls and shops.
Huo Yutong was also infected by the lively atmosphere, and a smile remained on her face.
Biji and Ziji stuffed a bunch of soul coins—gold, silver, and bronze—into her storage soul tool.
At Xiao Xiao's strong recommendation, she also bought a cute-looking fruit-flavored malt candy. She carefully licked it, and the sweet taste spread all the way to her heart.
