Shrek's night market was located by the east gate of the city. Many vendors and academy students gathered there, and if one was lucky, they could even spot the true geniuses of the inner courtyard. After all, they were human too and naturally wanted to eat delicious food.

"Fine. What do you want to eat?"

Wang Dong followed beside Li Changsheng, looking thoroughly dejected. If word of this got back to the Clear Sky Sect, who knew how much people would laugh at him.

"Take it slow. Don't rush, it's still early."

Li Changsheng reached out and draped an arm around Wang Dong's shoulders, smiling as he said, "Don't you want to see what Shrek City's night market is really like?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to get handsy!"

Wang Dong frowned slightly. He removed the young man's hand from his shoulder and put some distance between them.

"You're not even a woman. Why are you being so sensitive?"

Li Changsheng glanced at Wang Dong. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face, and a flash of Golden Light passed through his eyes.

Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiuer, Tang Wutong... This was getting more and more interesting.

"None of your business!"

Wang Dong snorted and warned, "Anyway, just don't touch me. And what exactly do you want to eat? If it really comes down to it, I'll give you the money and you can buy it yourself, alright?"

He truly did not want to stay with Li Changsheng. Ever since what had happened three days ago, he had finally realized that he could neither beat him nor argue with him.

Logically speaking, a soul master from an ordinary civilian background should not have possessed such formidable strength. After all, he was a Soul Grandmaster, and his second soul ring was an extremely rare thousand-year one.

Of course, the most important thing was that he always felt as though his true identity had somehow been exposed. Otherwise, why would the other party behave this way? It couldn't be that he had some strange fetish, could it?

If he didn't, then Wang Dong should leave. But if he did, then Wang Dong should leave even more.

"Fine, there's nothing for us to browse together anyway. Give me the money, and I'll go find Sister Nannan."

Li Changsheng did not refuse. He nodded readily and held out his fair right hand.

"Sister Nannan? You have relatives at Shrek Academy?"

Wang Dong had been planning to run off, but the moment he heard that, his interest was immediately piqued.

"Yeah. What about it? Is there a problem?" Li Changsheng asked in confusion, clearly unable to understand Wang Dong's reaction and expression.

"No. I'm just curious and want to meet her."

Wang Dong shook his head, indicating that he had no other motives or intentions.

In truth, he wanted to use this opportunity to investigate Li Changsheng's true origins and identity. He simply could not believe that he had lost to some commoner nobody—and lost without even the slightest ability to fight back.

"You want to meet her?"

Li Changsheng naturally had no idea what Wang Dong was planning, so he could only probe from the side. "You don't have a crush on my Sister Nannan, do you?"

"Who has a crush on her? I haven't even met her yet!"

Wang Dong clenched his fists, his handsome face full of fury as he hurriedly denied it.

Leaving aside the fact that he was a girl to begin with, even if he really were a boy, there was no way he would suddenly fall for someone he had never even met. How the hell would that make any sense?

"Don't worry. No matter how beautiful your Sister Nannan is or how gifted she is, I won't like her or have any ideas about her. Happy now?"

Afraid that Li Changsheng would refuse, Wang Dong rolled his eyes in exasperation and made his promise.

"Fine!"

Since Wang Dong had said so, Li Changsheng naturally had no reason to refuse. He also wanted to see what exactly this person was up to.

"Huo Yuhao, how many grilled fish do you have left?"

After the two wandered around for a while, they spotted an old acquaintance.

"About ten left!"

Huo Yuhao, who was grilling fish, quickly raised his head when he heard someone call him.

When he saw that it was Li Changsheng and Wang Dong, he immediately replied.

"Ten? Fine, I'll take all ten! Wang Dong, pay up!"

After saying that, he took a seat inside first, leaving Wang Dong outside to pay through gritted teeth.

Although this amount of money was so little that he would not even bother picking it up if it fell on the ground, being treated like a lackey and attendant was truly uncomfortable.

Just wait. One day, this young lady would win it all back and make you my lackey instead!

As the two sat on their stools and waited in silence, a tall blonde woman in a purple academy uniform approached from nearby. Her face was peerlessly beautiful.

"Junior, how much are your grilled fish?"

Jiang Nannan looked at the grilled fish before her, which looked quite appetizing and smelled good as well, and asked with a smile.

"Senior Sister, five Copper Soul Coins."

Huo Yuhao answered.

"Five? If I buy two, can it be a little cheaper?"

Jiang Nannan bit her lip lightly. After a moment of silence, she asked softly, "Would six be okay?"

"Damn, someone is actually haggling over five Copper Soul Coins!"

Not only Wang Dong, but even Huo Yuhao himself was dumbfounded.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't a girl with looks like hers lavishly toss out a Gold Soul Coin?

Why did things seem so off when it came to him?

After a brief moment of shock and stupefaction, Huo Yuhao came to his senses and rejected the girl's request. "Today's grilled fish are already sold out. If Senior Sister wants some, you can come line up again tomorrow—but only if you don't haggle!"

There was already not enough to sell. How could he lower his price just to please her? What kind of joke was that?

"Alright, then I—"

Before Jiang Nannan could finish speaking, Li Changsheng returned from nearby with several bottles of alcohol in his hands and called out, "Sister Nannan, over here!"

"Chang Sheng? Why are you here? I was just about to go find you!"

Upon hearing that voice, Jiang Nannan immediately looked toward its source.

When she saw that the speaker was Li Changsheng, she quickly walked over with light steps.

"Find me? What did you want with me?"

Li Changsheng looked at the peerlessly beautiful girl before him and asked in confusion.

"I wanted to know how your day went," Jiang Nannan replied with a sweet smile.

"Oh, I see. Fine, come over. We can eat and talk!"

After saying that, Li Changsheng took Jiang Nannan's soft little hand and led her over under everyone's watchful eyes.

That sight instantly shattered the hearts of countless young men nearby!
