"Tang Luochuan..."
Wu Siduo paused for a long time, her emotions unable to settle. Though she had guessed from his words that it might be him, hearing it confirmed still felt unbelievable.
No way...
Had Luo Chuan already extended his reach to the Star Luo Continent?
"Yun'er."
"Don't tell me the person you mentioned before—the one you said was absolutely more talented than me—was..."
Wu Siduo suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but speak up.
"Right!"
"It's Luo Chuan. What about it?"
Dai Yun'er responded with a laugh, speaking bluntly.
"..."
Wu Siduo fell silent.
She was thinking.
What about it? What about it...
What could she even say?!
"So."
"You traveled thousands of miles from the Star Luo Continent to Shrek Academy just to compete with your good sister for a man?"
"And not just any man, but one I can't even handle, one I don't even know how long it would take to pursue?"
Wu Siduo wore a pensive expression as she scrutinized Dai Yun'er, feeling as though a million alpacas were stampeding through her heart.
No way, how could something like this happen?!
And wasn't this supposed to be the adorable Princess Yun'er she knew?
"Sister Duoduo."
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Wu Siduo's increasingly thoughtful expression, Dai Yun'er looked suspicious. Why did her expression change so much after hearing Luo Chuan's name...
Wait.
Wait! Something's off, something's off!
"Yun'er."
"Do you remember the incredibly talented person I told you about, the one I also knew?"
Wu Siduo asked with a bitter smile.
"I..."
"Of course I remember..."
Dai Yun'er's expression shifted instantly, the smile from earlier vanishing completely. No way, no way...
"Sister Duoduo."
"Don't tell me..."
"That's right, it's Luo Chuan."
Under Dai Yun'er's almost pained expression, Wu Siduo nodded helplessly and spoke plainly.
"The boy I like is the same as yours."
"It's Luo Chuan!"
"..."
After speaking, Wu Siduo fell silent, and Dai Yun'er did too. The two stared at each other wordlessly before sighing in unison.
"So..."
"My hellish, long-distance pursuit of a prince consort—traveling from the Star Luo Continent to the Douluo Continent, knowing he already has girlfriends, and not just one..."
"Is even harder than I imagined?"
Dai Yun'er couldn't help but murmur to herself. Even her good sister was a rival in love—what a beautiful start...
No one could handle this!
"Yun'er, no matter what happens in the future, I just hope our relationship won't change."
Wu Siduo took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
They couldn't let their sisterhood turn into infighting...
"Mmm..."
Dai Yun'er nodded seriously. No matter what, the two of them would never fall out.
"And who knows?"
"Maybe when I finally win Luo Chuan over, I can even give you some advice. Though I... would never do that!"
Dai Yun'er snorted lightly, a hint of her cheerful smile returning as she spoke.
"Huh?"
"Yun'er, you can still laugh at a time like this?"
Seeing how quickly she had adjusted, Wu Siduo was stunned and couldn't help but ask.
"Why can't you smile? Luo Chuan isn't dead. As long as I can get in touch with him, I think there must be..."
"There will be opportunities!"
Dai Yun'er said earnestly.
"With such an opening that's far from wonderful, I think any news in the future would be good news."
She spoke seriously.
"..."
A terrible beginning?
Wu Siduo smiled without saying a word.
"Actually."
"There's even worse news than this."
She paused for a moment before speaking slowly.
"What?"
Dai Yun'er looked puzzled.
"Those like me who still want to pursue him..."
"Could almost form a Shrek Seven Monsters."
Wu Siduo shook her head with a laugh, images of Mu Xi, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, and Yuanen Yehui flashing through her mind.
"Huh?"
Dai Yun'er's expression froze, then she pointed at herself in confusion. Shrek Seven Monsters? If she were added to that...
Wouldn't that make it the Eight Great Heavenly Kings?
"..."
Watching Dai Yun'er's increasingly bewildered expression, Wu Siduo's mood actually improved a bit. That's more like it...
If Yun'er remained so cheerful, she wouldn't be too happy about it!
But since Yun'er also likes Luo Chuan, two people liking him together is better than one person suffering in loneliness, isn't it...

Meanwhile, at the outer dormitory building.
"Who is it?"
Ouyang Zixin had just settled into her dorm when she heard the sudden ringing at her door, momentarily puzzled.
"Zi Xin, you're here!"
As she opened the door, a lovely figure instantly appeared before her—none other than the forging prodigy Mu Xi.
"Eh?"
"You came so quickly!"
Seeing the person before her, Ouyang Zixin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Hadn't she just sent a message with her dorm number a second ago?
How...
Did she arrive so fast?
"Well..."
"Because that's my dorm."
Mu Xi chuckled and shook her head, not elaborating further, merely pointing with a smile at the open door of the room next to hers—dorm 426.
Just a short distance from Ouyang Zixin's 428.
"Hahaha, just one dorm apart."
Seeing this, Ouyang Zixin was momentarily stunned before bursting into light laughter. Indeed, as fellow transfer students...
They were placed quite close!
Speaking of dorms, the one in between wasn't just anyone's—it belonged to the second-year class president, Yuanen Yehui, who had arrived slightly later than them.
"Yeah."
"This way, meeting up in the future will be way too easy."
Mu Xi nodded with a grin, her tone playful.
For friends who had been close since their Eastsea Academy days, living nearby was undoubtedly the best arrangement.
"You've been doing well at Shrek Academy, right? Now we can attend classes together again."
Ouyang Zixin grinned.
Now that she knew about the relationships between Gu Yue, Na'er, and Tang Luochuan, of course she hadn't—
"Sure, hahaha."
"I've been doing fine here. There aren't any particularly 'Seven Monsters'-like people in my class, but as for you..."
"Coming to Shrek Academy with Wu Lin again, spending time with such a good sister like me - I'm truly envious. Our Zi Xin is becoming more and more outstanding."
"As for me with Luo Chuan... seems hopeless..."
Mu Xi's face couldn't conceal her smile, but as she spoke, she couldn't help feeling envious, her expression gradually turning dejected.
Currently, Zi Xin's situation really made her jealous. Catching up with the boy she liked seemed too difficult for her.
"It's not as good as you say..."
"As for your love life, this good sister can only wish you the best."
Hearing this, Ouyang Zixin blushed and replied. Though she didn't mind the praise about herself, when it came to Wu Lin - hehe - that really put her in a good mood!
But as for little Mu Xi's situation...
That was still quite difficult!
"Not at all."
"Our Zi Xin was the campus belle of East Sea last year, what's wrong with being a little outstanding? And..."
"Your sister will work hard too!"
Mu Xi said with a smile, responding firmly as she spoke. As for Luo Chuan...
She absolutely wouldn't give up so easily!
"By the way, I've already reached level 43."
"Though your partner's talent is slightly inferior to Luo Chuan's, he's still very, very strong - not weaker than my cultivation level..."
"What level are you at now, Zi Xin?"
Mu Xi blinked, unable to contain her curiosity.
"Wu Lin is indeed amazing, but I've also benefited from him. I've just barely broken through to level 49..."
Ouyang Zixin acknowledged with a smile.
"That's already incredible, level 49... huh?"
Hearing this, Mu Xi nodded with a smile and responded instinctively. But before she could finish her sentence, she froze in place.
What level?
You're at what level?
Say that again - what level are you at?!
