You Can Insult Him, but Not Me

The brief time spent bathing was always brief.

Ning Rongrong had been shy when she followed Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu to the bathhouse, then stole glances at them from the corners of her eyes, and finally grew accustomed to it and became engrossed. The entire process was extremely unnatural, but she also witnessed the two women in a moment of complete openness.

It made her blood surge.

Eighty thousand words omitted...

By the time she came out, she was just short of having a nosebleed.

Fortunately, the other two women had no particular suspicions. Zhu Zhuqing, however, teased her, "Looks like you still aren't used to bathing with me. You'll have to get used to it from now on, Miss Little Demoness."

The title Little Demoness seemed to have suddenly become Ning Rongrong's alone.

Presumably, Zhu Zhuqing had heard it from the others at Shrek Academy.

It was a title one both loved and hated.

Ning Rongrong's face turned slightly red, but she didn't know how to retort. Besides, she didn't want to retort. After all, when it came to something like this... she couldn't obstruct such a natural course of history, could she?

The Buddha wouldn't let her off if she did.

Namo Amit-clothes.

And just then.

Suddenly.

A tremendous commotion erupted at the hotel entrance, drawing the three women over at once.

A group of new guests had arrived at some unknown point.

There were seven young people, six men and one woman, all apparently around twenty years old and dressed in matching moon-white Soul Master robes.

Leading them was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty, though his clothes were much finer than those of the young Soul Masters.

As expected of the leader, he stood out in every way.

Two characters of the same color were embroidered on each of their left shoulders-Canghui.

On the other side, Dai Mubai was facing off against them.

"Don't push people too far." When Dai Mubai saw Ning Rongrong and the others hurrying over, his voice immediately grew much louder. It was hard to tell whether he meant the people opposite him or Ning Rongrong to hear. "It's just Canghui Academy. What gives you the right to act so high and mighty?"

Oh, Canghui Academy.

Ning Rongrong fell into thought.

The original story seemed to have mentioned this academy. Back then, the high-spirited Shrek Seven Devils had picked a fight simply for the sake of causing trouble and given them a beating.

Come to think of it, it had been Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai again: one was lecherous, and the other had deliberately stirred up trouble.

But she hadn't expected history to be so remarkably similar, even with Ma Hongjun in that state now.

The gears of fate might jam, but they would never stop turning.

It was fucking unbelievable.

Ning Rongrong didn't help Dai Mubai out of his predicament. She simply watched from the side.

A young man from Canghui Academy couldn't help mocking Dai Mubai when he heard him. "Then what academy are you from? You have no eye for people. The guests in the hotel all praised Qingqing's looks, but you had to say, 'What's the use of being pretty? She's just out selling herself anyway.' Do you think you were in the right, kid? I'd advise you to kowtow to Qingqing ten times, hard enough for everyone to hear, or don't blame us for showing you no mercy."

"Look at what he's wearing. It's a little fancy, but does it look anything like an academy uniform? He dares act so outrageously here all by himself? I say we just beat him up," another young man from Canghui Academy chimed in.

"Hmph!" Dai Mubai sneered. He'd had quite a fire burning inside him these past two days, all thanks to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, and he'd been wondering where to vent it. Now, as luck would have it, this whole group had delivered themselves to him.

"Then let's see if you have what it takes."

Dai Mubai gathered a fierce white Soul Power in his right hand and attacked the nearest young man from Canghui Academy.

The young man clearly hadn't even had time to react before Dai Mubai sent him flying.

"Oh-"

"How exciting."

Seeing this, the other guests in the hotel showed no concern. Instead, they began fanning the flames.

Seriously.

For ordinary people like them, if they wanted to watch Soul Masters fight in the past, they had to shell out a large number of Gold Soul Coins at the Great Soul Arena.

Now it was free.

How could they not be happy?

"Get him, get him, Canghui Academy!"

"There are so many of you. Can't you take care of one blond brat?"

"I'll put down one Gold Soul Coin. I bet this brat gets beaten black and blue."

"I'm betting on Canghui Academy too. If I lose, I'll cover everyone's expenses at the hotel tonight."

"You're a fucking dumbass. There are so many people from Canghui Academy. How could they possibly lose?"

"You're the fucking dumbass. So how could I possibly have to pay your expenses?"

"...Good point."

The Canghui Academy teacher leading the group caught the young man who had been sent flying. His face darkened at once, and he then said something to the other students in an extremely quiet voice.

Though no one heard exactly what he said.

The next moment, the Canghui Academy students all went in. Even a fool could guess what the teacher had said.

It was nothing more than to gang up on Dai Mubai and bring glory to Canghui Academy.

Bang-

Bang-

Dai Mubai and the Canghui Academy students brawled. At first, Dai Mubai could take one down with each punch, but he couldn't withstand their numbers. He was soon on the defensive, and in the end he was reduced to taking a beating.

Fuck, there are too many of them.

Bang-

One of them struck Dai Mubai squarely on the cheek, sending him flying backward onto a dining table and leaving everyone caught between laughter and tears.

"Hahaha, this brat's got some nerve, but he doesn't have much ability."

"He does have some ability, but it's nothing he can show off. The brat looks like he's only in his teens. How could he fight so many of them?"

"Huh? I remember this brat came with a group too. Where are his companions?"

Everyone in the hotel began talking at once.

"Over there, over there!"

Someone pointed in Ning Rongrong's direction.

Everyone's gazes quickly gathered on them, as did those of the Canghui Academy group.

"What three beautiful girls... They're so young, yet they're already so pretty..."

"What's the use of being pretty? Their own schoolmate is getting beaten up, and they don't dare step in, do they?"

"Listen to yourself. If I had enough ability, I certainly wouldn't let such beautiful girls step in either. I'd slap Canghui Academy in the face, one blow after another."

"But that brat doesn't have enough ability either."

As he listened to the crowd, a young man from Canghui Academy fixed his gaze on the three women. Though amazed by their looks, he went on to say something that angered quite a few people: "If being pretty means you're out selling yourself, Qingqing can only count as a little whore who entertains clients every night. Aren't these three the real top courtesans?"

Zhu Zhuqing: "..."

Xiao Wu: "..."

The one from Canghui Academy called Qingqing: "..."

"Come on, tell me how much you three charge. Let me..."

Smack-

Whoosh-

The young man hadn't finished his insolent remark when Ning Rongrong suddenly rushed forward and slapped him across the face. His body was instantly sent flying, straight out of the hotel, leaving Canghui Academy's lead teacher no chance to catch him again.

Her speed left everyone present clicking their tongues in astonishment.

"You can insult him, but not me. Otherwise..."

"You're going to die."
