Dai Mubai was in terrible shape. Only by relying on the sugar beans Shao Xin had made did his breathing finally stabilize.
However, Shao Xin was not a Healing-Type Soul Master. Both Zhao Wuji and Flender had eaten his sugar beans before; at most, they could prevent injuries from worsening and slightly speed up natural recovery.
Flender could not afford a Healing-Type Soul Master capable of healing a Soul Saint's injuries.
But he could still afford one capable of treating a Soul Elder like Dai Mubai.
"Lao Li, make a trip to Suotuo City and invite Master Wang here. We can't let Mubai's injuries worsen and affect his future cultivation." Flender reluctantly took out a Gold Soul Card and handed it to him.
This was a card containing fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins. Ning Fengzhi had recently sent someone to deliver it as payment for asking him to look after Ning Rongrong.
But for the sake of Dai Mubai, his cash cow, he could only grit his teeth and advance the treatment costs first.
"Dean, aren't you going to check on those new students?" Shao Xin said. "Mubai has me here. He'll be fine."
Flender shook his head. "Forget it. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Half an hour later, Li Yusong returned with an elderly man well past sixty.
"Master Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please, I beg you to save my student." Flender hurriedly said.
Shrek Academy's reputation had never been very good, but Master Wang was a practical man. He agreed to help only for the money.
He did not waste any time. After summoning his martial soul, he immediately used his Fifth Soul Skill to treat Dai Mubai.
Emerald-green light entered his body, and Dai Mubai's complexion visibly began to recover.
A Soul King-level Healing-Type Soul Master treating a Soul Elder was indeed overkill. Master Wang had assumed the process would go smoothly, but unexpectedly—
"Cough, cough." Dai Mubai gradually woke up and abruptly sat up. He could not help blurting out, "Zhu Zhuqing, you bitch! Don't let me catch you—"
"Mubai, are you all right?" Flender hurriedly asked.
After figuring out the situation around him, Dai Mubai said, "Dean, I was ambushed."
He was too ashamed to admit that he had been knocked out by a single punch.
In his version of events, he altered much of what had happened. Being instantly defeated in a one-sided fight became being secretly ambushed while fighting someone.
Li Yusong did not know what had happened at the time. He only knew that Dai Mubai had not returned to the academy for a long time, and when he went looking for him, Dai Mubai was already lying on the ground, his condition unknown.
"It's good that you're fine. As for the ambush, we'll investigate it later. Mubai, the treatment cost fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins. Pay it first." With Master Wang present, Flender could not overcharge him. Still, he had to get back every coin he had advanced.
Dai Mubai did not have much money on him. Taking out fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins in one go was painful even for him. Fortunately, with his strength as a Soul Elder, he could receive one hundred Gold Soul Coins each month from Spirit Hall.
"Cough, cough. Don't celebrate too soon. Sigh... I've done all I can." Master Wang, pale-faced, took a jug of water from his Soul Tool and began drinking.
At those words, Dai Mubai and the others immediately had a bad feeling.
"Master Wang, has Mubai's foundation been damaged?" Flender asked in a low voice.
"Yes and no," Master Wang said. "His cultivation foundation has been preserved, but as for this root of his..."
He rubbed his nose. This was clearly difficult for him to say.
Dai Mubai's heart sank. He immediately felt around for his little brother, and only relaxed after finding that nothing seemed wrong.
"Sigh, young man, I'm afraid your abilities in that regard will be impaired from now on. I don't know what is going on either, but there is an unknown force inside your body obstructing your functions."
Master Wang said with a regretful expression, "From now on, you'll probably need medicine before you can share a bed with someone."
"This..." Dai Mubai looked utterly incredulous.
His weapon and ammunition were still intact. In other words, his desire would not diminish, but he could not do anything!?
For a moment, he found it hard to accept.
Flender asked, "Master Wang, is there really nothing even you can do?"
Master Wang shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Try finding a higher-level Healing-Type Soul Master, or seek medicinal treatment. It's also possible that once his Soul Power Level rises, this condition may improve."
Since the man had accepted so much money, Flender knew he would not lie about something like this. After arranging for Li Yusong to escort him back, Flender comforted Dai Mubai. "Sigh... Mubai, I have a few folk remedies here. Go give them a try."
These remedies had originally been meant to treat Ma Hongjun, but who would have thought that the more he was treated, the more vigorous Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire became? Now, they were quite suitable for Dai Mubai instead.
After saying that, he left the room.
At a time like this, letting Dai Mubai have some peace alone was often more effective than trying to persuade him.
"Zhu Zhuqing, you must have been behind this. You venomous woman, don't let yourself fall into my hands."
Dai Mubai said with a twisted expression.
That night, under Ma Hongjun's enthusiastic invitation, Dai Mubai still went to Suotuo City.
What if his body recovered while he was having fun with those twin sisters?
Not long after they entered the Rose Hotel, Ma Hongjun had not gone far when he heard the twin sisters cursing as they came out.
Dai Mubai had once been incredibly fierce, but now he was nothing more than a paper tiger. How could he possibly satisfy them?
Hearing what they said, Ma Hongjun understood what had happened.
"You two, listen to my explanation!" Dai Mubai rushed out, but the twin sisters ignored him and quickly walked away.
"Dai Boss, are you drained or something? How about I take care of your sister-in-law for you?" Evil Fire clouded Ma Hongjun's mind as he spoke with a lecherous grin.
"Fatty, are you fucking looking to die?" With that, Dai Mubai angrily returned to the academy.
On the way, he had already cursed Zhu Zhuqing's entire family tree.
Having desire but being unable to do anything was even more unbearable than killing him!
Meanwhile.
Ever since Han Yu left Shrek Academy, he had already picked out his candidates.
Aside from Ling Hai's granddaughter, the other person was currently staying temporarily in Suotuo City.
After asking around in many places, Han Yu decided to visit Ling Hai first.
Ling Hai's residence was on the central street of Suotuo City, surrounded by the homes of influential and wealthy figures in the city.
It was worth mentioning that the home of the wealthy merchant's daughter connected to Dai Mubai was also here. However, it would not be long before she dumped Dai Mubai.
"Stop. This is the Ling Residence. Unrelated people, leave at once." At the entrance, a guard blocked Han Yu's path.
Something about this felt strange~
Without giving it much thought, Han Yu quickly said, "I am Han Yu, and I seek an audience with Senior Ling Hai."
The guard sized him up and asked, "Are you a Soul Master?"
Ling Hai was, after all, a Soul Saint. Those with strength that was too low would have no chance of seeing him.
Han Yu did not hesitate. Six Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—quickly appeared beneath his feet.
The guard was startled and immediately became far more respectful. "Forgive my poor eyesight. I did not recognize Lord Han's arrival. Please wait a moment, my lord. I will report to the master at once."
