The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

Tan Tai Xuan returned to the dormitory carrying the lunch box.

When he opened the door, a strong smell of powder hit him in the face. Although it was not the first time he smelled this pungent fragrance, Tan Tai Hyun couldn't help but frowned.

Tan Tai Xuan's dormitory was the best four-person room in the Nanfu Academy, equipped with an independent courtyard. The courtyard was very small, with space limited to drying clothes and a few people sitting and chatting.

The cost of this four-person dormitory is not low, but it is included in the salary and is waived.

Other students have to squeeze into rooms for six, eight or even twelve people.

Moreover, these rooms are all in an attic, and there is no independent courtyard like the four-person room.

Each person in the four-person dormitory has his or her own bed and desk, and there is also a dressing table in the extra space.

Tan Tai Hyun never wears makeup, not because she doesn’t like it, but simply because she has no money.

She was so strapped for cash that she had to save as much as possible on meals. This is how children from poor families practice.

There was only one person in the dormitory, and the strong smell of powder came from her.

Tan Taixuan's roommate, Shen Rou, came from a cloth shop and was never short of money.

He is not good-looking and is a little fat.

The latter sentence was Shen Rou's evaluation of herself, even though her arms were almost as thick as Tan Tai Xuan's thighs.

Shen Rou was putting on makeup. When she heard the door open, she turned around and caught a glimpse of the food box in Tan Tai Xuan's hand.

She knew that Tan Taixuan never came back to the dormitory to eat, unless...

Shen Rou sneered loudly, with three parts of disdain, three parts of mockery, and four parts of contempt in her eyes.

"Have you come back from begging for food from the dining hall lady again?"

Tan Tai Xuan ignored her and went straight to his seat and put the food box on the table.

I lay on the bed and picked up a book to read.

Shen Rou stood up and deliberately made the sound of pulling the chair louder.

Not long after, the remaining two roommates of Tan Taixuan also returned.

One of them had a charming appearance, was dressed in pink, and was dressed very gorgeously.

The other person had a delicate face and was wearing a long robe of a sorcerer.

Shen Rou took the initiative to discuss with them which shop had the best rouge and powder and which one had the most expensive price.

She deliberately spoke loudly, as if she was afraid that Tan Tai Xuan couldn't hear her.

Tan Tai Xuan found it somewhat amusing.

Jealousy is always a bad habit that people cannot avoid.

Ever since he was promoted to the second realm and assigned to this dormitory, Shen Rou had shown strong hostility towards him.

Because no matter in appearance, temperament, figure or talent, she was crushed by Tan Tai Hyun, a commoner girl.

Shen Rou began to target Tan Tai Xuan specifically.

Tan Tai Xuan got up early and went to the Sutra Library to read. Shen Rou said that she was making too much noise and disturbed her sleep.

But Tan Tai Xuan always got up very quietly and went outside to wash up. How could he disturb Shen Rou who was sleeping like a dead pig?

As for the girl in pink, she had a similar background to Tan Tai Hyun, but she took a different path from Tan Tai Hyun.

She likes to hook up with classmates in the academy who have good family backgrounds. Perhaps because she can't stand the fact that Tan Tai Xuan is self-reliant and keeps a clean virgin, she is quite hostile towards Tan Tai Xuan.

As for the remaining roommate, she was Shen Rou's little follower, and she had never taken the initiative to do anything to Tan Tai Xuan.

However, when Tan Tai Xuan first arrived at this dormitory, she was often instructed by Shen Rou to put sand in her locker and stuff mud into her shoes.

What Shen Rou likes most is to show her wealthy side in front of Tan Tai Xuan, hoping to make Tan Tai Xuan feel inferior.

"Tan Tai, Young Master Liu asked me to give this to you."

A pretty girl in a magic robe took out a wooden box and placed it on Tan Tai Xuan's desk.

Inside the wooden box was a magical medicine, shining brightly and obviously of extraordinary value.

Shen Rou and the girl in pink stared at the elixir with their eyes wide open.

Although Shen Rou's family is rich, they are just merchants with low status, so it is impossible for them to have such precious elixirs.

The girl in pink was even more jealous. She had long wanted to hook up with Liu Yu, who had the strongest family background in the Nanfu Academy.

But Liu Yu, a guy who liked to flirt with female classmates, actually disliked her for being dirty and rejected her repeatedly, but was very attentive to Tan Tai Hyun.

"Tan Tai, I think Young Master Liu is very affectionate towards you, so why not just give in to her?"

Shen Rou said meaningfully.

Shen Rou is not like the girl in pink. She has lived a life of luxury since childhood, so she is not interested in Liu Yu, a man who comes from a cultivator family but has an ugly appearance.

She likes handsome men like Liao Chunlian.

But she was very happy to see Tan Tai Hyun's degradation. What she couldn't stand the most was Tan Tai Hyun's pure and innocent behavior.

Who knows, she might have been playing around behind the scenes, otherwise why would the academy exempt her from tuition? She must have sold her body to the teachers in exchange.

Shen Rou thought maliciously in her heart.

Tan Tai Xuan looked at Shen Rou, whose face was covered with three pounds of powder, and thought of the tuft of hair on Liu Yu's face. She curled her lips and thought that these two people were a perfect match.

She didn't care about Shen Rou's show-off of wealth in front of her. She was short of money now, but that didn't mean she would be in trouble forever.

"Give this thing back to him. I have nothing to do with him and I won't accept anything from him." Tan Tai Xuan said lightly.

She was able to come to the Nanfu Academy because her father went against all odds. Her mother, who favored boys over girls, thought she should marry into a good family earlier and opposed her cultivation.

It turned out that my father's decision was correct, although it cost the family a lot of money at the beginning.

But soon her grades were among the best in the Nanfu Academy and she was praised by the academy.

Her mother no longer complained, her father was proud of her, and the neighbors all said that the ancestors of the Tantai family had blessed her.

The Tan Tai family, which had been suffering for generations, finally produced a distinguished cultivator.

But suddenly, my father was struck by some strange disease and was bedridden. Not only did the family suddenly lose its source of income, but we also had to buy a lot of medicine to treat my father.

That period was the most difficult time for her. Her mother repeatedly told her that she should marry Liu Yu, who had always been pursuing her, as a concubine and ask him to help solve the family's difficulties.

But the father gritted his teeth and persevered, threatening that even if he died, he would rather sell his daughter to those wealthy families as a plaything.

Later, her family affairs reached the ears of the high priest, who exempted her from taxation with a wave of his hand.

Tan Tai Xuan knew that her future would not stop here. If she continued to practice step by step, she would most likely be able to enter the middle three realms and become even better.

There is a halo around Tan Tai Hsuan, one of the four great beauties in the capital, although Tan Tai Hsuan does not care about this title.

But this halo, coupled with her own talent, did allow her to marry men who came from much better backgrounds than herself.

But Tan Tai Xuan knew that Su An was definitely not among these men.

It was a rare opportunity to meet a handsome male classmate who met Tan Tai Hyun's aesthetic standards and whose clothes did not look like those of a commoner. Tan Tai Hyun had already thought that he might try to pursue this junior fellow student.

But he turned out to be the son of Marquis Shenwei. Tan Taixuan felt a little regretful because the gap between their family backgrounds was too big.

Even if something could happen between her and Su An, and she could enter the Marquis Shenwei's Mansion in the end, she would definitely be a concubine, and a concubine with little competitiveness at that.

Tan Tai Xuan hopes to marry a man from a good family in the future, but not too good.

Her cultivation and abilities can be helpful to her husband's family, and her husband's family can also help her family out of difficulties.

She and her husband helped each other, lived in harmony, and treated each other as equals.

This is Tan Tai Xuan’s ideal future life.

But to the Shenwei Marquisate, this so-called genius of the Southern Mansion was obviously dispensable.

If she really had anything to do with Su An and entered the Shenwei Marquis Mansion, her life and death, honor and disgrace in the future would not be in her own hands. She didn't want to put her future in the hands of others.

If only he wasn’t the son of Marquis Shenwei, he wouldn’t need to have great talent. Tan Tai Xuan could accept a strong woman or a weak man.

Tan Tai Xuan shook his head, thought no more, and got up to go to the Sutra Library.
