Chapter 40 - Losing DumDum

Xuan Li opened the door with a '52' written at the top of the door.

Xuan Li scratched his head and pushed open the door with a jerk. His eyes fell on flawless fair skin. It was soft, cream coloured, almost as if it was begging to be touched. One or two light scars adorned the peach textured skin, asking for one to trace their fingers on it. Six finely shaped abs stood out below that mighty chest and rose coloured nipples, sweat trailing down like rain drops, urging one to lick it off.

His eyes trailed up to see long black silky wet hair that had clear water droplets indicating it was recently washed. The usual oily and scruffy hair from before completely vanished, his face which had dirt and mud stains all over, now were as clear as the moonlight sky that the word "Imperfection" would not even dare to soil. His once bloodshot eyes restored to a clear white with black pearl like pupils.

His perfectly carved muscles and perfect facial features with no pimple graced Xuan Li's eyes while his pure long black hair and dark purple Qi that slowly emanated from him, covering those rough yet smooth looking fist gave the feeling of a god of death gracing the mortals with his appearance.

One thought rang through Xuan Li's head 'Immortal'.

The magnificent figure gallantly approached the dazed Xuan Li, with purple Qi surrounding him with his brows knitted close together and fist clenched. Such wonderful sight had Xuan Li eyes widen in amazement "Has god finally blessed me. Will you guide me to the afterlife, good sir. I am all yours reaper."

"WOULD YOU SHUT UP!"

Bam!

Xuan Li was smashed to the ground by Flav's Qi powered fist "SNAP OUT OF YOUR DELUSIONS PERVERT!"

If it wasn't for a special array that covers the first year dormitory, Flav's attack would have destroyed the floor and Xuan Li would have smashed through to the room below. Only a loud banging sound resonated in the room but as every room is soundproof to an extent, the noise was significantly reduced for the other tenants.

*cough*

After an hour...

"Mmm, wha-" Xuan Li's eyes slowly opened, with the light from the ceiling attacking his eyes, he covered his eyes. 'Ugh' A surge of pain attacked his head, giving him a nasty headache.

"Wha..what happened" He slowly stood up upright from the bed, with one hand clutching his forehead.

"Oh? Sleeping idiot decided to wake up." Xuan Li slowly looked up and saw Flav resting beside a wall near a door. Unlike last time, he was fully clothed with a plain black top but despite it covering his body, Xuan Li could still imagine Flav topless as the top doesn't do a great job of hiding his clear muscle outlines.

"Eyes up here buddy" Xuan Li's thoughts jolted back to normal as he felt ominiouse killing intent from Flav's darkened face as his hands began to clench into a fist.

"Um, sorry." Xuan Li got up and bowed, dispelling Flav's killing intent.

"But hey, your a real charmer! Your looks would drop all the ladies and guys!" Xuan Li decided to compliment Flav, thinking it would please him.

The dark ominous aura resurfaced again with Flav's fists clenching tightly.

'Oh come on! Why didn't that make him happy? He should feel fucking lucky to have these looks! Unlike me...'

"Xuan Li, you really know how to piss people off," Flav said with an annoyed look.

"Your secretly a pervert, aren't you? Ah, maybe dying too many times caused your mental state to degrade."

"We should send you to the nurse for a check-up. Yep, I can't have my FRIEND become a vegetable from early signs of mental instability."

"Ah, we should probably learn your preferences too. Ah, I am guessing you are my roommate but I wonder if saying your a pervert that preys on me would allow a room switch."

"Oh, stop struggling Li, if the good nurse confirms your not a pervert, we can share this room with boundaries."

"Li, did you know moving around with a headache is a bad idea?"

"Ah, this must be your cry for help. Don't worry, as your friend, I'll make sure to transport you to the nurse for immediate help."

"We are nearly out the room Li. Make sure to fight your mental demons quietly while we pass the others. We don't want you to be branded as crazy right?"

"We'll brand you crazy once we gain confirmation from the nurses"

"Li, do you want me to knock you out again? I prefer it if you visited them consciously"

"What if the nurse does weird things to you? Thanks to you, I realised there's many hidden perverts about. What? Your not a pervert? Go tell that to your drooling and bloody nose from earlier"

"Huh??? I gave you a bloody nose? Li, you must be joking. I would never hurt you THAT much."

"Eh? The nurse wouldn't even be a pervert? Because of your hideous appearance? Damn Li, I know you look quite ordinary but you shouldn't lack confidence."

"Once you cultivate, your going to be a real looker. Your quite handsome compared to other ordinary people."

"I am not lying! Why are you sulking??? Wait, Why am I trying to call you handsome!?"

"I am no pervert Li!"

"Phew, we are nearly to the reception area. You know if you struggled a little less, we could have found the nurse by now."

"Thank god all the other students are still unpacking in their own room."

"Imagine the rumours that would spread. We can't have that Li. I don't want a rumour with a pervert."

"Hm? Where's Dumdum? He's righ- WAIT! WHERE IS THE PANTHER???"

Flav let go of Xuan Li as they got to the reception area and Li slowly got up with his piercing headache.

"Ugh, Stupid Dumdum. We have to find him." Li said.

"Yea, a magic beast wandering the Academy with no identification is a bad sign! Take this pill, it will take the headache away and lets go."

Flav handed him a blue pill which Xuan Li took but complained that he didn't give it sooner. Moments later, the intense headache dissipated.

"Lets go and find Dumdum" Xuan Li spoke with a clear head and they both headed out of the dormitory.
