The insects in my house are dragons.

Chapter 43: Enrollment!

9 month 14 day.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" Kongkong stood on Yun Che's chest, shaking him incessantly with its paws.

Ah Che! Reporting! Reporting today!

"Okay, okay..." Yun Che grabbed Kong Kong, let out a long yawn, and sat up.

The little guy didn't go out last night, and as a result, he was so energetic that he didn't even give Yun Che a good night's sleep.

The curled-up iris raised its head, its eyes still closed, clearly not fully awake.

Unlike Kongkong, which was full of energy, Kongkong was already exhausted from absorbing the energy of the half-ghost. With the addition of some training, it became even more tired.

However, upon hearing Kong Kong's call, its ears twitched, and it slipped into Yun Che's shadow.

Anyway... just follow Yun Che.

After washing up and having a simple breakfast, I put Kongkong on my shoulder and locked the dormitory door.

The bus ride from Lanjiang Cultivation Base to Jianghuai University takes about forty minutes.

Today is reporting day, and there are many more students like him on the bus. Some are holding pets, some are dragging suitcases, and the bus is filled with chatter.

"Chirp!" Kongkong, perched on the car window, looked at the street scene flashing by outside and suddenly chirped.

Yun Che followed its gaze.

The century-old banyan tree at Jianghuai University has come into view, its canopy blocking out the sun, looking like a green cloud from afar.

I heard online that the century-old banyan tree at the entrance of Jianghuai University is not an ordinary banyan tree, but a very powerful supernatural creature. I don't know if it's true or not, but it looks motionless and shows no signs of being a supernatural creature.

The bus was parked at the school gate.

Jianghuai University is very large, and perhaps to welcome new students, the signage was very well done, so Yun Che made his way to the payment counter, which is also the place for new students to register.

After paying the fee with a pained expression, they took the receipt to the Beast Taming Class 2 of the Beast Taming Department to register.

A man and a woman were sitting at the registration desk. The woman was a middle-aged woman, and the man was about the same age as her.

Upon seeing Yun Che, the boy stood up and said, "Excuse me, are you from Beast Taming Class Two?"

"I'm from Beast Taming Class Two, my name is Yun Che," Yun Che replied with a smile.

"So you're Yun Che." The boy looked surprised and introduced himself, "I'm Xiong Yuhe, the one who added you to the group."

They were all freshmen, but judging from Xiong Yuhe's demeanor as he assisted the teacher with the freshman registration, it seemed that he had already established a good relationship with the teacher.

"This is our counselor, Ms. Tian Yinzheng," Xiong Yuhe introduced the middle-aged woman next to him.

"Teacher Tian," Yun Che greeted her.

Tian Yinzheng, wearing glasses, was observing the students registering. After nodding and greeting them with a smile, she took out several registration forms and said:

"Fill in your personal information and pet information, and then we'll arrange a dormitory for you."

After quickly filling in his identity information, Yun Che looked at the pet information registration form, thought for a moment, and then wrote down basic information such as Green Velvet Worm and Late Stage of Mutation.

Green velvet....

Tian Yinzheng's gaze lingered on Kongkong on Yun Che's shoulder for a few more seconds.

"Okay, your dormitory is in Building 7, Room 306. Today is free time. Tomorrow morning at 8:00, we will meet in this classroom for the entrance test."

"Thanks."

He took the items and turned to leave.

He glanced at the photo on his campus card, taken when he registered for the college entrance exam, and it was so ugly that he didn't even want to look at it.

Kongkong leaned over and glanced at her, her eyes curving into crescents.

Yun Che pressed it back down expressionlessly.

...

Jianghuai University is very large, but there are special shuttle buses from the teaching buildings to the dormitories, which can be ridden for free by swiping your campus card.

However, even after getting off the shuttle bus, it still takes ten minutes to walk from the shuttle point to the dormitory building.

Along the way, Yun Che saw all sorts of pet beasts.

It has to be said that Jianghuai University truly lives up to its reputation as a renowned institution in Pingyang Province; he couldn't even name many of the pets he encountered along the way.

Passing by the school's public training ground, I saw that a lot of students had already gathered there, some of them still engaged in battles, which occasionally drew gasps from the onlookers.

"Hot water! Hot water! Excuse me, please make way!"

A girl was riding her two-headed ostrich, speeding along the road with a panicked expression, repeatedly shouting "boiling water!" which frightened many people who hurriedly moved away.

"Remember to take out the trash, trash!"

The dormitory supervisor stood downstairs with her corrosive beast, reminding students entering and leaving the dormitory building.

The area near the dormitory building became even more lively.

"Jiang Shishi from the Nurturing Department, you stole my pet beast! You deserve an explanation today!"

"Pah! You, Zhao Qing, stole my boyfriend first, and you still have the nerve to come looking for me? Shameless!"

"Yunmengze Battle Club: Training and battles for the ultimate beast-taming experience!"

"Beastmaster Guild's farm rat cleanup mission, anyone want to join? Also need a support staff member skilled in healing, just relax and you're guaranteed a pass!"

Hearing these words, Yun Che clicked his tongue in amazement, "This Beast Taming University... is really interesting."

"Chirp~" Kong Kong perched on his head, full of curiosity.

Even the iris hiding in the shadows couldn't help but look around.

...

We arrived at dormitory building number 7.

I don't know about other colleges, but most students in the Beast Taming Department have pet beasts, so their dormitories are all single rooms.

It wasn't much smaller than the staff dormitory at the Lanjiang training base, with bunk beds, desks underneath, and private bathrooms, but no kitchen.

"grumble!"

Kongkong jumped off my shoulder, circled the dormitory, and then claimed a spot next to Yun Che's pillow, curling its tail to declare its dominance.

Iris peeked out from the shadows, cautiously observing the unfamiliar surroundings.

"classmate."

Just then, a sound came from the doorway.

He was a dark-skinned, muscular boy.

Seeing Yun Che look at him, he chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "My name is Sun Yifan, and I live in apartment 305 next to yours. We'll be neighbors from now on."

"Hello, I'm Yun Che."

Despite his simple and honest appearance, Sun Yifan was a natural at making friends. After greeting everyone, he went into the dormitory, picked up a broom, and started cleaning. Yun Che tried to refuse, but Sun Yifan blocked him with the excuse of "neighbors helping each other".

"I originally thought it would be a shared room, but I didn't expect Jianghuai University to be so 'generous' that the dorm rooms are all single rooms."

"Who can argue with that?"

Yun Che had originally thought it would be a multi-person room. It wasn't that he disliked multi-person dormitories, but he felt that it might be a bit inconvenient to bring Kongkong and the others with him.

Now it's all good, the dorms are all single rooms, no wonder Jianghuai University's campus is so big.

"Is that a green velvet bug?" Sun Yifan noticed Kong Kong lying by the bed railing. "Several of my high school classmates have also captured green velvet bugs, but they are rare at Jianghuai University."

Yun Che smiled but didn't explain further. Sun Yifan, however, remarked, "Green velvet caterpillars are so easy to raise."

Easy to raise?

Yun Che's eye twitched, and he casually asked, "Is your pet difficult to raise?"

"I forgot to introduce myself." Sun Yifan slapped his forehead, and a summoning circle appeared beneath his feet. His pet beast stepped out from the Bridge of Contracts.

It was a pet beast that was about half a person's height, covered in blue-gray fur, and looked very much like a small bear, with a body width and height that were roughly the same.

Upon seeing this pet beast, Yun Che raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and said:

"A devouring beast?"

As soon as the beast-devouring creature stepped out of the beast-taming space, it grabbed Sun Yifan's trouser leg and pointed to its own mouth.

"Hey~"

Sun Yifan looked at Yun Che with a bitter expression and said, "You see?"

Yun Che gave a thumbs up and uttered a single word: "Courage."

Devouring Beasts are earth-attribute extraordinary creatures, classified as high-level extraordinary beings. Their most distinctive characteristic is... just their name: they can eat.

Beastmasters who dare to use a Devouring Beast as their initial pet must be either extremely wealthy or very wealthy; ordinary people simply cannot afford to raise one.

"Chirp~" Kongkong, who was perched on the railing, saw Sun Yifan's devouring beast and waved its tail at it.

"Huh?"

Hearing the sound, the beast scratching its head looked up, its large, round head appearing exceptionally honest.

While cleaning the dormitory, Yun Che and Sun Yifan chatted and gradually became acquainted.

Of course, Kongkong and Sun Yifan's devouring beasts also knew each other.

"Chirp!" Kongkong patted his chest.

(You're a big eater? Let's have a food contest sometime!)

"Hey~!" The devouring beast drooled.

(Eat!)
