His Fiancée Became Another Man's Maid, and He Furiously Shattered Their Engagement!

At noon, on the broad white-stone avenue linking western Suotuo City to the main urban district,

the auction had only recently ended, and with shops lining both sides of the street, plenty of Soul Masters were still coming and going.

Chu Yuan and his group of five were strolling along beneath the shade of the trees.

Walking behind and to Chu Yuan's left, Ning Rongrong was curiously studying Keqing and Mona, who were walking at his side.

Now that she was closer, she could feel the extraordinary, otherworldly bearing of the two girls from another world all the more keenly.

Keqing wore a splendid, dignified purple-and-black formal dress, her purple twin-tails swaying gently with each step. Her long, straight legs were clad in deep-purple stockings, and she exuded an awe-inspiring sword presence that made one afraid to look directly at her.

Mona wore a pointed witch's hat, while her skintight, one-piece astrological outfit and gradient black stockings patterned with a starry sky showcased every curve of her full, graceful figure. Every movement carried a mysterious rhythm of the stars.

"Master, are we going back to the hotel to rest first? If you don't mind, I know of a residence in eastern Suotuo City that belongs to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It's much more spacious and comfortable than the Rose Hotel..."

Eager to demonstrate her value as a newly appointed maid, Ning Rongrong stepped half a pace closer and spoke in a sweet, ingratiating voice.

Before she had finished speaking, however, a series of heavy, urgent sounds suddenly came from the far end of the street, cutting through the air!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two powerful, domineering Soul Power presences swept undisguised from the other end of the long street. Struck by their oppressive force, the ordinary pedestrians and low-level Soul Masters nearby cried out in alarm and hurried to either side of the road.

In the blink of an eye, five figures strode through the crowd and spread out in a fan, blocking the path directly ahead of Chu Yuan's group!

At their head were Flender, with his hooked nose and black-framed glasses, and the "Immovable Wisdom King" Zhao Wuji, who stood over two meters tall and whose muscles knotted like rocks all over his body.

Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu followed close behind them.

"Zhu Zhuqing?! You really are with this little bastard!"

The moment he saw Zhu Zhuqing standing quietly behind Chu Yuan in a tight-fitting black combat outfit, Dai Mubai's eyes turned red. He stepped forward, fixed his gaze on her, and shouted:

"Do you know who you are? You're my fiancée, betrothed to me, Dai Mubai, since childhood! You were supposed to register at Shrek Academy today. Instead of coming to find me at the academy like you should, you're following some pretty boy of unknown origins around like his lackey? Get over here, now!"

Tang San, standing beside Dai Mubai, instantly fixed his gaze on Chu Yuan. His pupils contracted slightly, and he instinctively moved half a step in front of Xiao Wu to shield her.

The instant Xiao Wu saw Chu Yuan's face clearly, her nostrils twitched.

For some reason, she could faintly sense a supreme life presence from the black-haired youth opposite her, one that made her bloodline as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast feel an immense longing and affinity. It was far clearer than when she had sensed it through the crowd at the night market yesterday.

Faced with Dai Mubai's furious roar, Zhu Zhuqing did not so much as lift an eyelid.

She stepped forward slowly, her dark-purple cat eyes fixed on Dai Mubai with a bone-chilling gaze, her voice utterly devoid of warmth:

"Dai Mubai, spare me your nauseating self-importance. I crushed the jade pendant that represented the marriage agreement between the Zhu and Dai families with my own hands last night. From this day forward, I have nothing more to do with you or the Star Luo Imperial Family. If you dare speak disrespectfully to my master again, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

"What did you say?! You crushed the betrothal pendant?!"

Dai Mubai's entire face instantly turned the color of pig's liver.

Though he usually spent his days out philandering, in his subconscious, Zhu Zhuqing, as his fiancée, was destined to be his, Dai Mubai's, exclusive possession and a tool for his future struggle for the throne.

Now Zhu Zhuqing had actually announced in public that she had crushed the jade pendant and become another man's subordinate. She was practically grinding his dignity into the dirt!

Flender, for his part, paid no attention to the younger generation's jealous squabble.

He pushed up the black-framed glasses on his nose. His gaze lingered on Ning Rongrong for a moment before settling on Chu Yuan at the head of the group and Keqing and Mona at his side.

Even with the discernment of a level seventy-eight Soul Saint, he could not see through the depth of the Soul Power of the man and two women before him at all!

Nevertheless, Flender stepped forward, assuming the bearing of an academy dean, and addressed Ning Rongrong and Chu Yuan:

"You must be Ning Rongrong, my young friend from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? I am Flender, dean of Shrek Academy. Your father, Ning Fengzhi, previously sent someone to let me know you were coming. Why didn't you report to the academy today?"

Before Ning Rongrong could answer, Flender turned his gaze to Chu Yuan, appearing courteous but studying him with a measure of scrutiny:

"And you, young friend, I hear you bought three strange objects that fell from beyond the heavens at the Rare Treasures Auction House today. I am quite interested in those objects from beyond the heavens. Would you be willing to part with one and transfer it to me? Furthermore, I see that all of you have reached such a level of cultivation at so young an age. You are all monster geniuses, one in ten thousand. Rather than venturing out on your own, why not all join my Shrek Academy and receive personal instruction from me and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji? What do you say?"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and planted her hands on her hips with a haughty huff:

"So you're the dean of that Shrek Academy built in some shabby village? I'm not going to your wretched place to suffer! What gives you the right to ask Master to hand over the treasures he bought? How is your skin thicker than a city wall?"

"You girl...!"

Flender's expression stiffened. He had not expected Ning Rongrong to speak so bluntly, or to call Chu Yuan "Master" at every turn!

The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the dignified Upper Three Sects, had actually become a youth's maid?!

Looking at the sour expressions on Flender's and Zhao Wuji's faces, Chu Yuan's lips curved into an indifferent, mocking smile:

"Flender? A makeshift country operation that lines its pockets with exorbitant registration fees and can't even provide a Mimicry Cultivation Environment dares boast of teaching my people? And the things in my possession—what makes you worthy of coveting them? Take your students and get out of my sight, now."

Silence!

The entire street fell silent in an instant, and the Soul Masters watching from a distance all drew a sharp breath!

No one had expected the white-robed youth to show two long-renowned Soul Saints above level seventy no respect whatsoever, telling them outright to get lost!

"What an arrogant brat!!"

Before Flender could lose his temper, the "Immovable Wisdom King" Zhao Wuji, standing beside him, completely exploded!

Back in the day, he, Zhao Wuji, had fought his way through even Spirit Hall's pursuit. When had some brat in his teens ever pointed a finger at his nose, called his outfit a "makeshift operation," and told him to get lost?

"Flender, you heard him, didn't you? This brat refuses a toast only to drink a forfeit! If I don't teach him a proper lesson on behalf of his elders today, I'll write my name, Zhao Wuji, backward from now on!"
