Mu Bai's Tragedy

The fat man's reaction was clearly a little slow. He failed to catch the meaning in Dai Mubai's eyes, his chubby face flushing slightly with excitement. "Come on, let's go together. Stop pretending!"

Seeing the fat man getting more and more outrageous, nearly exposing all his secrets, Dai Mubai finally could not bear it anymore. "Get lost! My taste isn't as bad as yours."

True enough, Zhu Zhuqing was still standing right there. Wasn't this just making things awkward for her?

Ma Hongjun gave an unhappy snort, but faced with the anger flashing in Dai Mubai's evil eyes, he opened his mouth and ultimately did not dare argue with the Evil Eye White Tiger. He turned and left.

"Dai Mubai, where did that dead fatso go?" Xiao Wu asked.

Dai Mubai laughed heartily. "What else could he be doing? He can't suppress his Evil Fire anymore."

Xiao Wu said irritably, "Going off to ruin more girls again? I really wonder whether his mutated martial soul has something to do with his natural personality."

Dai Mubai said, "Calling it ruin would be going too far. Don't you know there's a kind of place in this world called a pleasure house?"

Tang San said somewhat incredulously, "You mean the dean takes Ma Hongjun to that kind of place?"

He had heard of pleasure houses in his previous life, so he naturally knew what sort of place they were.

Dai Mubai said, "There's no helping it. Aside from that flaw, Ma Hongjun's martial soul is one of the strongest beast martial souls. He's also the dean's direct disciple. We can't exactly make him give up cultivating, or watch him explode and die, can we?"

Zhu Zhuqing rarely spoke, but she did now. "All men are filthy."

Xiao Wu giggled. "Zhuqing, don't condemn everyone with one sweeping statement. My Tang San is great. He's nothing like Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun."

Dai Mubai said crossly, "Fine, fine, fine. Your Tang San is the best. We're all filthy, is that enough? But my taste is still far better than the fat man's."

Xiao Wu immediately put on an expression that said, Exactly so. It left Dai Mubai feeling stifled with anger, and he could only shake his head helplessly.

When he secretly glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, he discovered that she was looking at him as well, except the gaze in her eyes seemed even colder.

The young girl snorted and suddenly walked up to Dai Mubai. "Your taste is better than his?"

Dai Mubai froze, not knowing how to answer. "Zhuqing, I..."

Only then did he realize he had said the wrong thing. Wasn't claiming his taste was better than the fat man's still referring to women in that particular profession?

Whether high-class or low-class, whether a phoenix in a haystack or a celebrated courtesan, what difference did their profession make?

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes suddenly filled with disdain and contempt. "You? You disgust me."

With that, she turned and left.

"In front of your own wife, brother, you've got some nerve."

With a sympathetic look, Bai Ge patted Mu Bai on the shoulder.

Ever since Zhu Zhuqing had arrived at Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai had been suppressing himself and tolerating her.

Now, the usually cold and proud Dai Mubai could no longer restrain the anger in his heart. "Stop right there."

Zhu Zhuqing ignored him completely. Not only did she not stop, she quickened her pace toward the academy.

"You..."

Dai Mubai abruptly raised his right hand. Intense white light flickered in his palm. He had never been a patient man—or rather, his temper was more explosive than anyone else's.

But in the end, he held himself back. The white light in his palm flashed and vanished, and he let out a breath like a tiger's roar before following behind Zhu Zhuqing toward the academy.

Ning Rongrong followed behind, holding Bai Ge's hand. "Xiao Bai, you mean Dai Mubai and Zhuqing..."

"White Tiger, Hell Spirit Cat. Do I need to say more?"

"Then they..." Ning Rongrong's little head was a bit muddled.

"Being born into an imperial family has never been a blessing. Think about how you used to be. The price of standing above everyone else is loneliness."

Ning Rongrong blushed.

Ever since childhood, she had been raised in the palms of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's higher-ups. If Bai Ge had not gradually changed her through fairy tales, she would surely have been just like she was in the original story.

However, under Bai Ge's influence, the little girl's talent for pranks had become increasingly outrageous.

Thus, when Ning Rongrong left home this time, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect celebrated as though it were a festival.

Morning.

Tang San awoke from cultivation. Cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes every morning had given him a habitual biological clock.

Bai Ge was the same.

Today's daily sign-in was no different from usual, nothing special—just a bottle of Qi Recovery Pills, along with things like Blood-Stopping Powder and Detoxification Pills.

But last night, he had completely severed the fate between Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

In the original story, this plot began after they returned from the Soul Fighting Arena. Ning Rongrong provoked the heartbroken Dai Mubai, and in his rage, Dai Mubai said he would first do that to Ning Rongrong before killing her.

Ning Rongrong continued provoking him. Dai Mubai angrily sent Ning Rongrong flying, and Oscar acted as her cushion, making Ning Rongrong come to her senses.

It was here that the possibility of feelings developing between Ning Rongrong and Oscar began.

But now, with Bai Ge's intervention, the fate between Oscar and Ning Rongrong had been completely cut off.

What followed was the system rewarding him with a Lesser Revitalizing Pill.

Though it came from an ordinary martial arts world and only contained the equivalent of one year of internal energy for an ordinary martial artist,

it was enough for Bai Ge to break through from level thirty-nine to level forty.

Therefore, he had been cultivating nonstop from midnight last night until now.

Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Bai Ge completed his meditation and adjusted his breathing. Then he left his room and headed toward the cafeteria.

After breakfast, they heard the bell for class and immediately headed to the training ground.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, Flender finally arrived. He swept his gaze over everyone, then frowned. "Where's Oscar? Why hasn't he come yet? This class can't be taught without him."

Everyone looked at one another and said they had not seen Oscar that morning.

Flender frowned. "Wait another quarter of an hour."

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Oscar hurried over with a delighted expression on his face.

"Oscar, if you can't give me a suitable reason, then after class, you'll go run another twenty laps." Flender said gloomily.

Oscar paid no attention to Flender's displeased tone and said happily, "Dean, I've broken through level thirty."

"Oh, is that so? Not bad, not bad. That makes you the third student to break through level thirty, and you're even a food-type soul master, which is difficult to cultivate. On behalf of the academy, I congratulate you."

Flender praised him repeatedly.

"Is that impressive? I'm level forty."

Bai Ge's calm voice rang out.

Bai Ge had no other intention.

He simply knew that Flender would make them eat Oscar's sausages in this class, so he had to dampen Oscar's arrogance.

Oscar shut up.

Level forty—this was a true monster.

And with Qi Recovery Pills, Bai Ge had no need for that stuff at all.

Flender still wanted to say something, but Bai Ge immediately shut him down. "The fact that his soul incantation is obscene is undeniable. And he can prepare them in advance himself. Besides, Qi Recovery Pills can replace the effects of his sausages. Don't make trouble for no reason. Willpower has nothing to do with this. No one here will remain a low-level soul master. The situation you describe, where someone is at death's door and would eat even rats, cockroaches, or earthworms, simply won't happen."

Flender had nothing to say.

Bai Ge sighed. "Friendship means being considerate of one another. We don't discriminate against Oscar, and he shouldn't chant his soul incantation in front of us. We men don't mind, but it's normal for Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, and the other girls to dislike it."

Bai Ge's compromise was ultimately accepted by everyone.

To be fair, Oscar in the original story really was obscene.

Early web novels had a lot of suggestive material.

By then, stories about soldier kings and special forces had already become widespread, and Shrek's training was completely copied from special forces hell week.
