Oscar Was Jealous—My Goddess Was Luo Ye's Simp

If you can't hug a thigh, there's a certain slender leg you can hug.

Luo Ye secretly teased, but outwardly, he agreed with a serious expression.

"I wouldn't call it hugging my thigh, but if you want to team up with me after reaching level thirty, I naturally have no objections."

"With your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda support, we'll definitely be able to defeat our opponents easily."

Seeing that Luo Ye had not refused, Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly.

"Great! Then it's settled. Don't worry, I'll definitely cultivate hard and break through to level thirty as soon as possible."

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, feeling a faint bitterness in her heart. She always felt that Ning Rongrong had bad intentions and was likely using the excuse of getting closer to Luo Ye to scheme against him.

Yet, for the sake of Luo Ye's grand plan, not only could she not stop it, she even had to do her best to encourage it. The very thought was stifling.

Zhu Zhuqing was not the only one feeling stifled. Oscar was just as jealous.

When Oscar saw Ning Rongrong yesterday, he had fallen for this quirky young girl. Especially after learning that she was the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he became even more determined to pursue her.

To that end, he changed his usual unkempt appearance. Not only did he change his clothes and style, but he also shaved off his beard.

Yet Ning Rongrong showed him no courtesy at all, even speaking harshly to him.

He had thought Ning Rongrong simply had the temperament of a little witch. But after seeing how obediently and eagerly she tried to please Luo Ye, Oscar finally understood. A goddess only had no good expression for simps; before a man she acknowledged, she could even take the initiative to become a simp herself.

But according to what he had learned from Tang San yesterday, Ning Rongrong had clearly not known Luo Ye before coming to Shrek Academy.

Had she fallen for him that quickly?

No, I definitely won't give up. I refuse to believe that Ning Rongrong will keep acting like this even when she knows about Luo Ye's relationship with Zhu Zhuqing!

As long as I keep working hard, one day I'll be able to move Ning Rongrong!

The participants for the one-on-one soul fights were decided by drawing lots. While Luo Ye and the other seven went to draw theirs, Flender also went to place bets.

However, he did not bet on everyone at once. He only placed wagers on Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

Although Luo Ye, Tang San, and the other three had joined forces to defeat Zhao Wuji yesterday, Flender had not seen it with his own eyes and did not know the true extent of their individual strength.

What if Zhao Wuji had lost yesterday only because he underestimated them? If Flender put Gold Soul Coins on Luo Ye and the others now and lost, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

To figure out whom he could bet on in the future, he naturally needed to first observe the strength of these new students.

That would also make it easier for him to manipulate things from the shadows later on.

For example, once Luo Ye, Tang San, and the others had accumulated enough wins for their odds to drop, Flender could have them deliberately lose to their opponents and rake in a huge haul of Gold Soul Coins.

Flender felt absolutely no psychological burden when using such tactics.

He had already made a fortune from Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun through this method. Naturally, he wanted to do it again.

"Mm, these two young girls are both quite strong. They're about to become Three-Ring Soul Elders at twelve years old. Even across the entire continent, their talent could be considered top-tier."

Flender watched Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu battling on the soul fighting stage and nodded in satisfaction.

But as though he had suddenly thought of something, his expression became somewhat strange, and the way he looked at Dai Mubai turned peculiar as well.

"Hell Spirit Cat martial soul, and her surname is Zhu. Isn't she the direct descendant of the Zhu family of Star Luo? And judging by Dai Mubai's attitude toward her, could she be Dai Mubai's fiancée?"

"But if that's really the case, why does Zhu Zhuqing ignore Dai Mubai completely while acting so intimate with Luo Ye instead?"

"Could it be that Dai Mubai has had his fiancée stolen by Luo Ye?"

Upon realizing this possibility, Flender secretly began praying for Dai Mubai.

Although he favored Dai Mubai more in his heart as an obedient student, he had to admit that aside from the advantage of having an engagement, Dai Mubai was inferior to Luo Ye in every other respect.

Whether it was Soul Power talent or looks and temperament, Luo Ye outclassed him completely.

If Zhu Zhuqing truly was Dai Mubai's fiancée, then trying to win her back would be far too difficult.

Just as Flender was secretly lamenting, Luo Ye and Tang San were called by name and stepped onto the soul fighting stages.

Watching them ascend different stages, Flender could not help smacking his lips.

"What a pity. Tang San's Soul Power hasn't reached level thirty yet, so he can't be matched against Luo Ye. Otherwise, I'd like to see just how capable Xiaogang's disciple really is."

After receiving the letter Yu Xiaogang had asked Tang San to bring him, Flender learned that Tang San was the disciple of his old friend Yu Xiaogang. He immediately realized that Tang San carried Yu Xiaogang's hopes of clearing his name.

Even Flender had to admit that Yu Xiaogang's eye for talent was as sharp as ever.

After all, Tang San was the son of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo.

"No, that's not right. Since Tang San is Tang Hao's son, how can his martial soul be Blue Silver Grass? Could this kid have Twin Martial Souls?!"

Flender's pupils contracted slightly, and the look in his eyes as he watched Tang San became even more fervent.

"That's it. Everything fits!"

"With Xiaogang's personality, if Tang San's martial soul were only Blue Silver Grass, then even if his talent truly were outstanding, Xiaogang would never have accepted him as a disciple."

"Only if Tang San has Twin Martial Souls could he possibly become Xiaogang's disciple!"

Flender was extremely excited.

If his guess was correct, then the quality of this year's new students far exceeded his expectations.

Previously, when he heard Dai Mubai and the others talk about winning the Soul Master Tournament championship, Flender had remained unmoved, because he knew the chances were simply too low.

But now, it really didn't seem entirely impossible!

"Watch them closely. If Tang San and Luo Ye truly have the outrageous talent Zhao Wuji described, then we'll have to change the plan and focus on nurturing them."

Flender split his attention, observing both Luo Ye's and Tang San's spirit battles at the same time.

Yet what he never expected was that although the two battles had begun simultaneously, Tang San's side had not even made a move when Luo Ye's spirit battle had already ended, his victory swift and decisive.

Watching Luo Ye stand tall atop the spirit battle platform, Flender was utterly dumbfounded.

"No, I haven't even seen what happened yet. It's already over?"
