Stop Throwing Tantrums

Oscar strode over to Liu Yi, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

"Where did everyone else go?"

Oscar replied, "Dean Flender assigned them a task. They all went to the Soto Great Soul Arena."

"Going by the time, they should be back tonight."

Liu Yi nodded. It seemed he had spent several days recovering from his injuries.

No wonder he had not seen any sign of them.

They waited until nightfall before everyone finally returned to the academy under Dean Flender's lead.

"Are your injuries any better?" Flender asked with concern.

"Much better."

"That's good, then. You all talk. We're heading back."

With that, Flender walked into the academy.

The moment Ning Rongrong saw Tang San and the others, she hurriedly jumped down from the stone.

"You're back."

Tang San nodded, but Dai Mubai, standing nearby, showed Ning Rongrong no courtesy as he said coldly, "Thought it through? Are you staying, or are you getting the hell out?"

Ning Rongrong did not care in the least and answered without hesitation.

"Of course I'm staying. This place is so great—how could I just leave whenever I feel like it? Besides, what do you mean by telling me to get out? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Ning Rongrong stepped forward, her eyes icy as she stared at Dai Mubai.

She did not take Dai Mubai seriously at all. To her, he was nothing more than a mangy cat.

Dai Mubai frowned slightly and said flatly, "Don't test my patience. This is Shrek Academy, not your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"If you really piss me off, I'll let you learn what cruelty is."

Ning Rongrong was not afraid in the slightest. "Oh my, I'm so scared. Come on, then—show me whether you're just a sickly cat. Hehe."

At last, Dai Mubai could no longer hold back. If a tiger did not show its might, did she really think he was some sickly cat?

Dai Mubai stomped his right foot, and a violent aura burst forth. The terrifying wave directly sent Ning Rongrong flying.

Liu Yi frowned slightly. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Ning Rongrong and caught her by her slender waist, bringing her to a stop.

"Dai Mubai, that's enough. If this goes on, it won't end well for anyone."

Upon hearing Liu Yi, Dai Mubai withdrew his Soul Power. Since Liu Yi intended to protect this little girl, there was nothing more he could do.

For now, he was no match for Teacher Liu Yi.

Ning Rongrong glared at Dai Mubai with bloodshot eyes. When had she ever suffered such a loss in her life? Back in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had been a little princess, and no one had ever dared to bully her. Yet after coming to Shrek Academy, she had suffered such humiliation.

"Fine, Teacher Liu. I'll give you face today. If it weren't for you, I would have killed her."

Dai Mubai turned to Ning Rongrong in Liu Yi's arms and said coldly, "Ning Rongrong, remember this. This is Shrek Academy, not your home. Don't think that just because you're a princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you can provoke me. If you really push me too far, don't blame me for showing no mercy. Hmph!"

With that, Dai Mubai strode into Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong wiped the tears from her face and turned to Liu Yi.

"Teacher Liu Yi, as long as you kill him for me, I'll do anything you want. You'll also become an honored guest of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Whatever you want, I can give it to you."

Liu Yi wiped away the tears on Ning Rongrong's face.

"All right, stop throwing a child's tantrum. Don't worry, I'll seek justice for you."

Ning Rongrong blinked her large eyes. "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Go back and sleep. Try to change your temper from now on. This isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect anymore. If I'm not around, you'll be in great danger."

Ning Rongrong froze in place, biting her lower lip tightly as tears spilled from her eyes.

This time, Liu Yi did not try to comfort her. As the saying went, a young tree would not grow straight without pruning, and a person would not learn without discipline.

He still preferred the gentle Ning Rongrong.

In the distance, Tang San glanced at Liu Yi before turning and leading Xiao Wu into the academy.

Early the next morning.

A knock came from outside the door.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

Liu Yi rubbed his eyes, got out of bed, and groggily opened the door.

Outside, Zhao Wuji held a bag of food. When he saw Liu Yi in this state, he said awkwardly:

"Brother Liu Yi, could you... put some clothes on?"

Liu Yi was slightly stunned. When he looked down, he was immediately dumbfounded. He had forgotten about his habit of sleeping naked.

He hurried into the bedroom and changed into clean clothes.

Zhao Wuji sat in the living room, looked around, and asked, "Brother Liu Yi, your room is quite clean."

"Huh? It's all right, I guess."

"Come on, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Have something."

Liu Yi sat down in a chair and looked at the breakfast on the table in confusion. "Are Shrek breakfasts delivered?"

"What are you thinking? I bought this especially for you."

"Uh... then thank you, Teacher Zhao."

Zhao Wuji waved a hand. "Why be so polite? The kids are studying away from home. As teachers, we have to make sure they eat their fill."

Liu Yi nodded. People were made of iron, food was made of steel—how could one go without eating?

He picked up a bun and began wolfing it down. Honestly, the buns in Douluo Continent tasted pretty good.

"What filling is this?"

"You mean the buns? They were made from a Hundred Year Wild Boar. One Silver Soul Coin each. They're expensive."

One Silver Soul Coin each really was rather costly. Ordinary people could at most afford food that cost Copper Soul Coins.

No one would be foolish enough to buy them.

"Is there anything else to do later?"

Zhao Wuji glanced at the time. "In a few minutes, we'll head out. The dean will assign us some tasks."

Liu Yi nodded and swept the buns from the table clean.

After briefly freshening up, he followed Zhao Wuji to the open space at the center of the academy.

At that moment, Flender was lecturing the Shrek Seven Devils.

"Tomorrow morning, everyone will set out. Zhao Wuji and Liu Yi will lead you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Oscar's third soul ring. Do you understand? This is not simply about obtaining a soul ring—it is training for all of you.

"Until you encounter soul beasts with cultivation above five thousand years, Zhao Wuji and Liu Yi will not intervene lightly.

"You will rely on yourselves for everything. If anyone acts rashly and causes a companion to be injured, don't blame me for being harsh."

The Shrek Seven Devils shouted, "Yes!"

Flender nodded. "You are free to move about. We depart tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, Flender walked over to Liu Yi and Zhao Wuji.

"Brother Liu Yi, I'll have to trouble you tomorrow. Make the trip with Wuji."

"It's fine. Sitting around is boring anyway. Getting out for a walk is good," Liu Yi said with a faint smile.

Zhao Wuji laughed heartily and patted Liu Yi on the back. "Don't worry, Boss. With me here, I guarantee their safety."
