"Boss, I want this room!"
At the Rose Hotel's front desk, Dai Mubai had his arms around a pair of twins as he spoke directly to the receptionist.
He paid no attention to Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were still hesitating over whether to take the last remaining room.
"Brother, it seems we got here first!"
Seeing Dai Mubai claim the room outright, Tang San immediately spoke up.
"So what?"
Dai Mubai replied indifferently.
He knew how this hotel worked. He could book his room, and those two behind him could still get one!
"So what? Get lost!"
But Xiao Wu's words instantly set the air ablaze.
Then, the scene of Tang San and Dai Mubai's first encounter from the original story officially unfolded!
Meanwhile, Su Xing and Zhu Zhuqing had witnessed everything clearly from the stairway on the second floor.
Including the sight of Dai Mubai holding those twins so intimately.
He had really been caught red-handed!
Zhu Zhuqing's hands clenched tightly, her expression filled with fury.
"Judging by your reaction, that man bringing twins here to get a room is Dai Mubai, right?"
"And you came all this way to find him. He's clearly forgotten all about you. He's living quite the carefree, romantic life—two at once, even. I'm so jealous!"
Sensing Zhu Zhuqing's anger and disappointment beside him, Su Xing chuckled and added fuel to the fire.
"Hmph!"
Zhu Zhuqing coldly glanced at Dai Mubai, who had already started fighting Tang San downstairs, then snorted and turned back toward her hotel room.
Su Xing did not follow her. If he stayed by her side and kept talking now, Zhu Zhuqing would only grow disgusted with him. She needed some time alone to calm down.
"But Zhu Zhuqing will still join Shrek Academy because of this alone. What a headache!"
To be honest, if possible, Su Xing wanted to stop Zhu Zhuqing from joining Shrek Academy!
But this did not seem enough. In the original story, Zhu Zhuqing had still chosen to join Shrek Academy after learning about Dai Mubai's situation.
Tomorrow was Shrek Academy's recruitment day. With so little time left, it would be difficult for Su Xing to change Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
"I'll take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, forget it. It's not like she's the only pretty girl on the Douluo Continent."
Su Xing shook his head, then put the matter aside and turned his attention to Tang San and Dai Mubai's fight.
"Blue Silver Grass..."
"Tang San's strength lies in Hidden Weapons. Why is he taking the control-type path?"
"Plucking flowers and leaves can wound people; grass, wood, bamboo, and stone can all become swords!"
"He only needs to keep enhancing the Blue Silver Grass's toxicity and sharpness. Combined with Tang San's Hidden Weapon techniques, why would he need fragments of the shattered Eight Spider Lances? He could have as many Hidden Weapons as he wanted!"
Watching Tang San use his Blue Silver Grass, Su Xing could not help ridiculing him inwardly.
The original story made it seem as if Tang San used Blue Silver Grass with miraculous mastery, but that was all backed by the skills from his previous life. Without cheats like Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, without becoming immune to water and fire after consuming Immortal Herbs, could Tang San still win?
"Then again, that trash Yu Xiaogang... what kind of good disciple could he possibly teach?" Su Xing curled his lip.
Su Xing truly held grudges. Yu Xiaogang had rejected him, and he still had it written down in his little notebook!
After watching for a while, Su Xing found it unimpressive. His current strength far surpassed theirs.
Once they finished fighting, Su Xing turned around and went back as well, with no intention of going downstairs to greet Tang San.
There was no need!
"You're still planning to join Shrek Academy?"
The next day, after checking out of the hotel, Su Xing frowned as he watched Zhu Zhuqing indeed head in the direction of Shrek Academy.
So she had still made the same choice?
"My business is none of your concern!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing merely snorted. After tossing out those impatient words, she quickly walked away.
Compared to yesterday, Zhu Zhuqing was even colder now, radiating an aura that kept strangers at a distance.
"Damn..."
Watching Zhu Zhuqing's indifferent back, Su Xing's expression shifted before turning cold as well.
Su Xing was angry too.
Not only because of Zhu Zhuqing's attitude.
It was also because her attitude told him that she still cared deeply about Dai Mubai. Otherwise, she would not have become so much colder than yesterday!
No one would be in a good mood after realizing that!
"You care that much about Dai Mubai, huh? Then today, I'm going to cripple him!"
Su Xing was truly furious this time. After snorting at Zhu Zhuqing's increasingly distant figure, he slowly followed after her.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, Su Xing had given up hope!
But he was not going to just let things end like this and leave.
This time, Su Xing did not catch up to Zhu Zhuqing. He simply followed behind her at an unhurried pace.
Zhu Zhuqing was already giving him the cold shoulder, so naturally he would not keep pressing his warm face against her cold ass!
When Zhu Zhuqing noticed after a while that Su Xing was merely following behind her rather than catching up, she was surprised as well.
"Has he given up?"
"Good!"
Zhu Zhuqing snorted and stopped paying attention.
Still, Zhu Zhuqing felt that something about the Su Xing behind her seemed different. She did not know exactly what it was.
But she did not want to know.
Before long, Su Xing followed Zhu Zhuqing to the run-down Shrek Academy, which looked more like a village than an academy.
They happened to encounter a Soul Emperor teacher from Shrek Academy displaying his Martial Soul and Spirit Rings to intimidate everyone!
Many parents and children were frightened into silence. Even those causing trouble no longer dared to make a fuss and promptly left.
Su Xing also spotted Dai Mubai standing beside that teacher.
At the same time, he noticed that Dai Mubai had seen Zhu Zhuqing.
The corner of Su Xing's mouth rose slightly. He quickly stepped up beside Zhu Zhuqing, who was about to pay, and said, "Teacher, this is the registration fee for both of us. We're together."
As he spoke, Su Xing handed over both of their registration fees to the teacher.
Su Xing had forgotten the man's name and did not care to know it.
Beside them, Dai Mubai's expression immediately changed at the sight. He looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a questioning gaze.
Zhu Zhuqing had originally intended to tell the teacher that she would pay for herself. But when she saw Dai Mubai's accusatory look, she simply kept quiet and tacitly accepted it.
Compared to Su Xing's actions, Dai Mubai's behavior angered her more.
"Alright, come over and let me check your bone age and Martial Souls!"
The teacher collecting the money, Li Yusong, did not pay it any mind. After accepting the money, he spoke to Su Xing and Zhu Zhuqing.
"You did that on purpose?"
Zhu Zhuqing questioned Su Xing in a low voice.
"That's right. I was helping you see whether he still cared about you. And as you saw, he got angry. I would rather he hadn't."
Su Xing shrugged, answering frankly yet regretfully.
"Hmph!"
Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly and said nothing more as she walked over to Li Yusong.
"Your bone age qualifies. Release your Martial Soul and let me see it."
After testing Zhu Zhuqing's hand bones, Li Yusong nodded.
"Hell Spirit Cat!"
Zhu Zhuqing was straightforward and immediately released her Martial Soul.
"A top-tier Martial Soul! Good, very good."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul and Spirit Rings, Li Yusong's eyes lit up as he praised her repeatedly.
Then it was Su Xing's turn.
"Mm, your bone age qualifies. Release your Martial Soul and Spirit Rings for me to see!" Li Yusong quickly passed Su Xing's bone-age test.
"Teacher, I only have a Martial Soul. I don't have any Spirit Rings!"
There are so few recommendation votes. (°д°)
