Chapter 239: Chapter 239
After leaving the new student registration office, Su Yan collected his dormitory key card and headed towards the dorm building, following the directions given by the staff. After winding his way there for about ten minutes, Su Yan, with Jiu Li in tow, arrived and stopped in front of a towering building. He looked up at the building’s name affixed above and muttered softly, "Zhong Yuan Building 604... This must be the place."
Having located the dormitory, Su Yan didn’t rush inside. Instead, he stood outside, sizing up the imposing high-rise. The building was very tall, with twenty floors in total. Looking up from the bottom, one could vaguely tell that the dorm rooms were quite spacious, at least fifty square meters each. With such a scale, it felt less like student housing and more like a hotel apartment complex.
"My Lord, your dorm building looks so grand! So this is the perk of being the provincial top scholar, huh? I absolutely love it, love it, love it!" Jiu Li’s bright eyes sparkled with excitement as she gazed at the high-rise before her.
She thought, It’s true what they say: comparison is the thief of joy. Her own Broken Bamboo Building paled in comparison to her master’s luxurious dormitory.
Su Yan ignored Jiu Li’s excitement and quietly stepped into the high-rise. Since it was early July, the first-year students hadn’t arrived at the university to register yet. Therefore, this dormitory building, specially set aside for this year’s outstanding new students, was currently empty and felt quite desolate.
Seeing no dormitory supervisor around, Su Yan bounded up the stairs, taking them two or three at a time, and went straight to the room marked 604. He took out his key card, placed it in front of the door’s sensor, and with a BEEP, the dormitory door opened.
When Su Yan saw the dormitory’s interior, his eyes widened with a hint of excitement and disbelief. He had assumed this so-called single room would be only slightly larger than a hotel room designed for young couples. But to his surprise, what greeted him upon opening the door was a small, fully furnished apartment that appeared to be nearly one hundred square meters.
Jiu Li was even more thrilled than he was. The moment the door opened, she darted inside with a WHOOSH. If she hadn’t been in her human form, she would have looked just like an excited pet.
Su Yan composed himself, followed her inside, and locked the dormitory door behind him. As he walked, he surveyed the dormitory’s interior. It was advertised as a single room, but once inside, he discovered it was actually a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. Moreover, it was fully equipped with a balcony, kitchen, bathroom, and toilet. There was even a small training room stocked with several pieces of exercise equipment.
Is this really a student dormitory? It feels like I’ve been given my own apartment! Looking at the spotless dormitory, which had clearly been cleaned in advance, Su Yan couldn’t help but marvel.
Being the provincial top scholar really had its perks! Not only was the dormitory luxurious, but it had also been cleaned in advance, ready for him to move right in.
From now on, I, Su Yan, belong to Jing University! If I live, I am a person of Jing University; if I die, I will be a soul of Jing University! I, Su Yan, wholeheartedly approve of this Jing University!
At this moment, Su Yan, who had yet to step into society and experience the wider world, was completely won over by the luxurious dormitory provided as an enrollment benefit.
Over the next while, Su Yan took his luggage out of his System Backpack and began to arrange his new home for the next four years, making it look even cozier.
As for Jiu Li, her initial excitement lasted only a short while. She soon calmed down and flopped onto a sofa to play with her phone. She gave off the vibe of a lazy, gluttonous girlfriend, lacking ambition or passion for life, perfectly content to just lie around.
Su Yan saw this but didn’t say anything. After all, he hadn’t expected her to act as a maid and handle menial household chores. As long as she didn’t cause trouble and simply remained a well-fed producer of Fox tails, he would be thankful enough.
After all, Fox Demons are wild by nature. This was especially true for Fox Demons who had reached adulthood, could Transform, and had experienced the vastness of human society. They were always thinking of causing mischief, and taming them completely was an incredibly difficult task.
After spending some time organizing the dorm, Su Yan was lightly sweating and felt sticky and uncomfortable. He grabbed a fresh set of clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
The dormitory was very quiet then. The sound of running water from the bathroom was tantalizing to Jiu Li, who couldn’t resist skipping over to the bathroom door, intent on some mischief. She reached out her fair, delicate, jade-like hand, knocked on the bathroom door, and said in an enticing tone, "My Lord, would you like Jiu Li to come in and scrub your back? I often helped the elder sisters in my clan when I was younger. My technique is very good, you know."
Jiu Li had barely finished speaking when Su Yan’s voice shot back from inside the bathroom, "Scram!"
Hmph, if you don’t want help, just say so. Why be so fierce! Jiu Li rolled her eyes and mentally grumbled about her hopelessly straightforward master.
A short while later, after his shower, Su Yan called out to Jiu Li, who was still lazing on the sofa like a salted fish playing with her phone, "You go take a shower too. You’ve been in the car all day, and we were even attacked by a Demonic Plant on the way. You must be filthy. I’m a bit of a neat freak, and I don’t want you getting my sofa dirty."

Hearing this, Jiu Li’s mouth twitched slightly. My master isn’t just hopelessly straightforward, she thought, he’s also fussier than any woman!
