Seeing the receptionist Yan Ying blush and shrink back timidly, Luo Chen was quite pleased. He had only casually mentioned DouDou Jie, yet it had scared her so badly. It seemed DouDou Jie really was a character overlooked in the anime.
Luo Chen smiled. "Nothing much. Just as we agreed, you'll treat me to a meal—but it has to be at your home. I want you to cook for me personally. You're so pretty, so you must know how to cook, right?"
"I..."
The receptionist Yan Ying lowered her head again. She really could cook, and she lived alone. She had never had a boyfriend before. Having worked around the Great Spirit Arena, her standards were quite high, and there was no way she would bring just any man to her home.
Luo Chen reached out on his own, leaned against the counter, and brushed aside Yan Ying's purple hair. He continued, "You don't need to be afraid. I'm not a bad person. If I wanted to do anything bad to you, I wouldn't need your permission. I could just wait until you got off work and follow you home. You saw what I could do in that two-on-two spirit battle just now, didn't you? Working here, you need a boyfriend who can protect you too, right...?"
Yan Ying's delicate body trembled. She slowly raised her head and looked into Luo Chen's wickedly charming eyes and confident smile. Suddenly, she blushed again.
This boy is several years younger than me, but I've never seen such confidence and strength in anyone's eyes. He really does seem capable of giving me a powerful sense of security, but I...
After struggling inwardly for a while, Yan Ying pursed her red lips and said, "Fine, a bet is a bet. But I can't tell you where I live yet. Whenever you want it, come find me at the Great Spirit Arena, and I'll take you to my home..."
After saying that, the receptionist suddenly felt that something about her words sounded wrong.
She immediately gritted her teeth and lowered her head again.
"Alright, be good. Wait for me..." Luo Chen gently brushed over Yan Ying's purple hair and cheek. Only when he saw Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai approaching did he get up and leave.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had also just finished their two-on-two spirit battle, defeating the Tie Long Tie Hu brothers. Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong walked out together.
Luo Chen glanced at Zhu Zhuqing. When this Catwoman met his gaze, she still seemed somewhat unnatural and immediately looked away. A trace of shyness appeared beneath her icy demeanor. It was truly exquisite.
Ma Hongjun, that lecherous little fatty, also walked over from the other side. The seven of them had now completed all of today's spirit battle assignments.
Tang San asked Dai Mubai where the dean had gone. Dai Mubai shook his head and said he did not know either. The dean had said that once everyone finished their spirit battles, they could return.
And so, Luo Chen followed Tang San and Dai Mubai. After secretly exchanging a glance with Xiao Wu, he took hold of the proud yet adorable Ning Rongrong's hand, and the seven of them left the Great Spirit Arena together.
After leaving the Great Spirit Arena, Ma Hongjun, that lecherous fatty, went off to do what he wanted to do again.
Dai Mubai, that pretentious bastard, put on the appearance of a proper gentleman. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, he said, "Zhu Qing, don't worry. I won't be hanging around that lecherous fatty anymore. I know why you came to Shrek Academy. From now on, I'll definitely treat you well..."
Damn, hearing that made Luo Chen find this blond-haired bastard even more disgusting. It seemed he had often gone to those kinds of places with Ma Hongjun, that lecherous fatty, and had already debased himself into a dog. Yet he still dared to put on an act before Zhu Zhuqing.
Although Luo Chen did not consider himself a good person, he was definitely better than this disgusting blond-haired bastard. He would never force any girl to like him. Though he had the Sharingan, he had never used such methods to win a girl's heart. Every girl willing to follow him did so sincerely, from the bottom of her heart.
Naturally, Luo Chen would protect every one of his girls. Zhu Zhuqing had to be saved as well. He absolutely could not let her end up with this blond-haired dog. It would not be bad if she killed this blond-haired dog herself in the end.
Zhu Zhuqing naturally understood the meaning behind Dai Mubai's words and felt disgusted as well. She did not even look at him again and left without turning back.
Dai Mubai called out several times, but Zhu Zhuqing never looked back. His expression darkened, and he looked deeply displeased. He quickly followed after Zhu Zhuqing.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Chen, let's go too..." Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, then at Luo Chen and Ning Rongrong beside him.
Luo Chen nodded. Holding Ning Rongrong's hand, he followed behind Dai Mubai with Tang San and Xiao Wu. It was already quite late, and both Luo Chen and Tang San quickened their pace.
When all seven of them reached the entrance to Shrek Academy, Luo Chen saw Oscar sitting on a stone by the gate, panting heavily.
At that moment, Dai Mubai suddenly dashed forward and blocked Zhu Zhuqing's path. This bastard had finally lost his patience. He felt unwilling to accept it. Zhu Zhuqing had been at the academy for so long, yet she had barely said a few words to him. He did not even know what was wrong with her.
"Zhu Qing, since you're here, why can't we open our hearts and talk like we used to? Why are you always so cold toward me? I know I did some things badly in the past, but from now on, I'll definitely treat you well."
Though blond-haired Dai Mubai made it sound nice, there was a trace of anger on his face. He had never failed so miserably when pursuing a girl, yet Zhu Zhuqing had given him no response at all.
Zhu Zhuqing did not answer him. She did not even look at him directly, merely saying two words in a flat voice, "Move aside..."
"You..." Dai Mubai suddenly gritted his teeth. A flash of white light appeared in his palm, and his gaze became frightening.
Luo Chen was startled and immediately shouted, "Dai Mubai, what are you doing? Are you actually planning to lay hands on a girl?"
Zhu Zhuqing was Luo Chen's girl now. Luo Chen had already taken her first kiss, so of course he had to protect her.
In the original story, Dai Mubai was also this kind of disgusting bastard. When he did not get a response, he wanted to hit girls. First, he had nearly attacked Zhu Zhuqing, and later he had wanted to harm Ning Rongrong as well.
He had no ability when it came to fighting men, but he was quite skilled at bullying girls.
The enraged Dai Mubai was naturally not afraid of Luo Chen. He had always believed that he could beat Luo Chen. He coldly shouted, "Shut up. This is none of your business."
Luo Chen's expression immediately changed. Well, well, you actually dared to yell at your dad? In the entire multiverse, no one who dared provoke your dad had even been born yet.
Lightning immediately surged into Luo Chen's hand. Just as he was about to make a move, Tang San suddenly reached out to stop him. "Forget it, Xiao Chen. Boss Dai has always had a bad temper. Besides, this really is his own business. He and Zhu Zhuqing probably have known each other for a long time."
Luo Chen glanced at that pretentious bastard Tang San. What a load of crap. Did having a bad temper mean he could vent it on girls? Zhu Zhuqing had not said a single word from beginning to end, yet this bastard had actually wanted to attack her.
But seeing that Dai Mubai had still held himself back, Luo Chen withdrew the lightning from his hand. Tang San nodded at him.
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and reluctantly stepped aside. The white light in his hand vanished in a flash. Zhu Zhuqing still did not look at him directly and walked coldly into the academy.
Seeing Dai Mubai gritting his teeth in unwillingness, Luo Chen was quite satisfied. Zhu Zhuqing truly deserved to be his girl. This was how it should be. He casually swept his gaze toward the distant woods and suddenly saw what looked like a shadow flash past.
Such speed? Who was that?
Luo Chen immediately activated the Sharingan, released Ning Rongrong's hand, and teleported dozens of meters away. Looking toward the woods, he saw that the figure was already far in the distance.
Black clothes... Could it be Tang San's Dad again?
After thinking for a moment, Luo Chen turned around. He was dozens of meters away, yet he suddenly saw—
Ning Rongrong looked at Dai Mubai's aggrieved expression, covered her mouth, and laughed. "Hahaha, look at that expression on your face. It's so funny. Zhu Qing doesn't like you, so why did you stop her from leaving? You're supposed to be a senior, too. Hmph, with such a bad temper, Zhu Qing will never like you..."
Ning Rongrong had always spoken her mind, and besides, she was not wrong.
But Dai Mubai suddenly clenched his fists and flew into a rage. Murderous intent even appeared in his eyes. He stared coldly at Ning Rongrong and said, "I'm warning you, don't provoke me. I'm not afraid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Say one more word, and be careful—I'll kill you..."
