Dai Mubai Was Dumbfounded—Had He Been Cuckolded?

It was not just Dai Mubai who noticed Luo Ye.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong in the group noticed him as well.

Ning Rongrong's gaze swept over Tang San and Xiao Wu. After sizing Tang San up, she thought to herself.

"He looks completely ordinary. One look tells me he isn't Luo Ye. So this guy must be Tang San, the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon who killed Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa and destroyed our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Ning Rongrong shot him a fierce glare, leaving Tang San utterly confused, unable to figure out how he had offended this unfamiliar girl.

Luo Ye had written in the diary that with the Asura God watching over him, Tang San could not be killed for the time being.

Otherwise, Ning Rongrong would likely have called Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo over and poked several hundred transparent holes through Tang San.

As the famed little deviless, she did not care whether Tang San was the son of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, or whether killing Tang San would bring Tang Hao's retaliation.

But since killing Tang San was destined to be futile, Ning Rongrong forcibly restrained that impulse and shifted her gaze to Luo Ye instead.

Though she was very curious about Luo Ye, this Reincarnator, Ning Rongrong did not continue watching him in order to avoid letting Luo Ye notice anything unusual and exposing the existence of the Diary Instance.

She merely thought that once she entered Shrek Academy, she had to find an opportunity to get close to Luo Ye.

She had checked the points shop. There was a treasure inside that could evolve her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, with the only drawback being that it was far too expensive.

But the high price was not that treasure's flaw. It was her own flaw.

Of course, that was no big deal.

There would be plenty of time to spend with Luo Ye in the future. With her intelligence, she could definitely make sure her name appeared in the diary every day.

As a transmigrator, Luo Ye's Spiritual Power had already been strong enough. On top of that, he had received Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice. Even though Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's energy had been temporarily sealed away, it still brought him enormous benefits, causing another qualitative leap in his Spiritual Power.

Even yesterday, Luo Ye had only simulated three hundred-thousand-year soul rings because he knew Tang Hao was not nearby. Otherwise, he would not have taken such a risk.

Luo Ye did not mind Ning Rongrong's scrutiny. He could roughly guess that the little deviless intended to approach him, and he had guided things in that direction from the start.

Shrek Academy's preliminary test was simple. It merely confirmed a student's age and Soul Power. As long as they met the requirements, they could proceed to the next round.

In addition, many students who felt they could not pass the preliminary test and did not want to waste Gold Soul Coins had already left, so it was soon Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing's turn.

After pressing on Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing's wrists and confirming that neither was over thirteen, the admissions teacher nodded.

"Your ages meet the requirements. Next, release your martial souls."

Upon hearing this, Tang San, who had already passed the preliminary test, stopped and looked toward Luo Ye together with Xiao Wu.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong deliberately put on a curious expression and looked over as well.

Dai Mubai was the most exaggerated of all. He hurried over with a few quick strides, staring wide-eyed at Luo Ye, wanting to see for himself what color Luo Ye's soul rings truly were.

The admissions teacher frowned at this and snapped.

"Dai Mubai, what are you doing?"

Dai Mubai gave an embarrassed smile and did not dare say anything. He merely took two silent steps back.

Under everyone's gaze, Luo Ye did not waste any time. He circulated the Soul Power within his body and activated his Spirit Eyes. Three soul rings rose from beneath his feet.

Two yellow and one purple—standard optimal soul ring configuration.

"Impossible! What is going on?!"

Dai Mubai's pupils widened, and he cried out instinctively, only to receive a furious scolding from the admissions teacher.

"What the hell are you trying to do, brat?"

The admissions teacher had been startled by Dai Mubai. He had originally been delighted that Luo Ye was a Soul Elder, but this kid kept yelping and making a scene like he had gone mad.

Dai Mubai ignored his reprimand. His eyes reddened slightly as he stared at Luo Ye and began breathing heavily.

He had finally confirmed that he had been deceived yesterday.

This guy's soul rings were clearly just two yellow and one purple, yet he had disguised them as three red rings that only hundred-thousand-year soul rings possessed, making him kneel on the ground and lose all face.

How could the always-proud Dai Mubai endure such humiliation?

However, just as Dai Mubai was about to erupt, he suddenly met Luo Ye's gaze and saw golden light shining from his deep blue eyes.

It instantly reminded Dai Mubai of the agony from yesterday's Soul Impact. It was like having a bucket of cold water dumped over him, immediately calming him down.

Even if Luo Ye's three hundred-thousand-year soul rings had been fake, with that terrifying Spiritual Power alone, Dai Mubai could not possibly be his match.

As Dai Mubai thought this, his gaze drifted to Zhu Zhuqing.

The moment he saw Zhu Zhuqing possessed by the Hell Spirit Cat, he froze once again.

"This is... the Hell Spirit Cat? Someone from the Zhu Clan?"

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded.

Yesterday, he had felt that the aura Zhu Zhuqing gave off was familiar, as if he had seen it before. Unfortunately, before he could remember, Luo Ye had knocked him unconscious with one move.

Now that he saw Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul, he finally realized where that sense of familiarity came from.

A woman from the Zhu Clan, with an age that matched, and even a face strikingly similar to the one in his memories—could she be his fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing?

Thinking of that possibility, Dai Mubai could no longer restrain himself and directly asked Zhu Zhuqing.

"You're from the Zhu Clan? What's your name?"

Zhu Zhuqing withdrew her martial soul and looked at him coldly, with no interest in responding.

Her dismissive attitude made Dai Mubai extremely unhappy. Especially when he thought Zhu Zhuqing might very well have shared a bed with Luo Ye yesterday, it made Dai Mubai feel as though he had been cuckolded.

No normal man could endure such a thing, much less Dai Mubai, whose chauvinism had always been severe.

Just as Dai Mubai was about to press further, Luo Ye stepped in front of Zhu Zhuqing and said expressionlessly.

"What? Didn't yesterday's lesson teach you to remember?"

"You!"

Dai Mubai was furious. His clenched fists creaked as he desperately wanted to fight Luo Ye again right then.

Yet when he looked into Luo Ye's eyes, he realized he had developed a psychological shadow and actually felt the urge to back down.

Tang San, standing nearby, shook his head. The look he gave Dai Mubai carried a hint of contempt.

After losing so much face yesterday, he still dared to flirt with Zhu Zhuqing in front of Luo Ye. This guy was truly something else.

Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, the admissions teacher beside them slapped Dai Mubai on the head and said irritably.

"Why are you acting so strange today, kid? Enough. Stop blocking the way and take all of them inside."
