Xiao Wu ran out of the room and happened to see Tang San standing at the door.
"Third Brother!"
Without waiting for Tang San to speak, Xiao Wu threw herself into his arms.
"Brother, how could you be so foolish? Teacher Zhao is a Soul Saint-level expert. You went head-to-head with him—what if something had happened to you?"
Tang San stroked Xiao Wu's head with a doting look, completely unaware of how dangerous his actions had been the day before.
To be honest, if Zhao Wuji had harbored even the slightest killing intent yesterday, Tang San could never have been standing here in one piece.
However, considering that Tang Hao had been watching from the side when Zhao Wuji beat Tang San yesterday, that possibility could be dismissed entirely.
The two went to the cafeteria to find something to eat. For some reason, though, Tang San kept feeling that the way Xiao Wu looked at him had become a little strange.
Strange. Could it be my imagination?
Tang San scratched his head and decided he must have been mistaken.
Naturally, he had no idea that Xiao Wu was in the midst of a fierce struggle between heaven and man.
However, just as the two walked out of the village, they spotted a rather handsome boy viciously beating a little fatty with a wooden stick.
Even from far away, Tang San and Xiao Wu could still hear the two of them.
"You little fatty, your guts are big enough to blot out the sky! You're only a few years old, and you already dare to abduct a girl in broad daylight? What will become of you when you grow up?"
Along with the boy's scolding came the little fatty's ghostly wails and wolfish howls.
"Stop hitting me! Please, stop! I told you, Cuihua is my girlfriend! I really wasn't abducting her!"
These two were none other than Su Zui and Ma Hongjun.
It all began ten minutes earlier.
Su Zui had woken up early and planned to buy something to eat near Suotuo City.
However, he had only just left the school grounds when he saw a little fatty forcibly pulling a young girl along.
The young girl looked on the verge of tears and was clearly unwilling.
How could he allow this? The girl looked so young and small. If this had happened in their world, Ma Hongjun would have been electrocuted in a chair.
Since Su Zui had seen it, he naturally couldn't turn a blind eye.
After all, maintaining social stability was the Spirit Hall's duty.
So Su Zui went straight over and gave the little fatty a thorough lesson.
To his utter surprise, not only did the little fatty refuse to accept the lesson, he even gestured at Su Zui.
How could that be allowed?
Su Zui classified Ma Hongjun's behavior as resisting law enforcement.
He grabbed a wooden stick from the roadside, pinned the little fatty down, and gave him another lesson.
That was the scene Tang San and Xiao Wu had witnessed.
Xiao Wu had never been one to sit still. As soon as she heard the words "abducting a girl," her eyes lit up.
A chance to beat someone up openly and legitimately had finally come along. How could this young lady let it slip away?
Ignoring Tang San's calls behind her, Xiao Wu dashed over to Su Zui in a flash.
Su Zui looked puzzled as the young girl suddenly ran up to him.
Why did this girl dart over here like a rabbit? Could she have been drawn in by my handsome face?
But I already have a family.
Just as Su Zui was considering how to gently discourage the young girl, he heard her shout excitedly,
"Hey, did you just say this guy was abducting a girl?"
Su Fei had never expected the young girl to ask about that.
He answered instinctively, "Yes. I'd just come over when I saw this little fatty pulling a girl around."
Xiao Wu became even more excited, and the two ears on her head stood straight up.
Then, under Su Zui's astonished gaze, Xiao Wu raised her foot and kicked Ma Hongjun hard.
For a moment, Ma Hongjun's cries grew even louder.
Yet Ma Hongjun didn't even dare to resist.
That was because the boy's strength was simply too terrifying.
Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul was a mutated Evil Fire Phoenix, and he had already reached level 28.
Yet the boy before him had pinned him to the ground with one hand and directly cut off the circulation of his Soul Power.
Before he could even react, the other party had sealed all the Soul Power in his body.
That could only mean one thing: the boy before him was far stronger than he was.
Ma Hongjun might have been a bit of a whoremonger, but he still had enough brains.
From those clues alone, he immediately deduced that Su Zui had probably come to study at Shrek as well.
After all, only the reputation of their Monster Academy could attract such a terrifying monster.
At that thought, Ma Hongjun immediately began shouting.
"Both of you, stop hitting me! I—I'm a student at Shrek Academy! I'm a student! I'm your schoolmate!"
And things turned out just as Ma Hongjun had expected.
Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Xiao Wu and Su Zui stopped their hands and feet in unison and stared at him in confusion.
They shouted together, "What did you say? You're a student at Shrek Academy!"
Su Zui stared at Ma Hongjun in shock.
Wait, what was going on with this world?
First, an unscrupulous parent came to the school and beat up a teacher. Now a student, who should have been one of society's flowers, was abducting a girl in broad daylight.
Was this a distortion of human nature or the collapse of morality?!
But then Su Zui's expression turned serious again. "Even if you are a student, you can't go abducting girls! For what you did, never mind being a student—even if you were a beast, you'd still be locked up in the Spirit Hall Enforcement Hall."
At the words "Spirit Hall Enforcement Hall," Ma Hongjun's face turned ashen with fright.
Just last year, he had gotten into a conflict with another customer at a brothel and been locked up in the Spirit Hall Law Enforcement Hall.
Those days had been nothing short of a nightmare for Ma Hongjun.
Since the person he had clashed with was an ordinary man, he had received the maximum punishment.
He had been locked up in the Spirit Hall Law Enforcement Hall and beaten for several days, then held for a full month.
For Ma Hongjun, the Spirit Hall Enforcement Hall was practically hell.
"Big Brother, I've really been wronged! I wasn't abducting her. Cuihua—she really is my girlfriend!"
Ma Hongjun no longer cared about appearances. He grabbed Su Zui's leg and burst into tears.
He cried miserably.
Su Zui pulled his leg free with a look of disgust.
Su Zui didn't believe Ma Hongjun at all. After all, the girl had called for help.
Still, seeing the little fatty crying so miserably, Su Zui decided to ask the person involved nearby.
But before Su Zui could speak, a furious voice suddenly rang out behind him.
"How dare you beat up my brother!"
