Mubai's Misfortune

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 with excitement. "Come on, let's go together. Stop pretending!"

Seeing the fat man grow more and more outrageous, nearly exposing all his dirty secrets, Dai Mubai finally lost his patience. "Get lost! My taste isn't as terrible as yours."

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

Ma Hongjun snorted in dissatisfaction, but faced with the angry gleam flashing in Dai Mubai's evil eyes, he opened his mouth yet ultimately did not dare argue with the Evil Eye White Tiger. He turned and left.

"Brother Dai, where's that dead fatso going?" 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 to harm girls again? I really wonder whether his mutated spirit has something to do with his inborn personality."

Dai Mubai said, "Harm them? Not really. Don't you know there's a kind of place in this world called a brothel?"

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

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

Dai Mubai said, "There's no other way. Apart from that flaw, Ma Hongjun's spirit is one of the most powerful Beast Spirits. He's also the dean's direct disciple. We can't exactly make him give up cultivation or watch him explode to death, can we?"

Zhu Zhuqing rarely spoke up. "All men are filthy."

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

Dai Mubai said irritably, "Fine, fine, fine. Your Tang San is the best, and we're all filthy. Happy now? But my taste is much better than the fat man's."

Xiao Wu immediately put on an expression that said exactly so, making Dai Mubai feel thoroughly frustrated. He could only shake his head helplessly.

When he secretly glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, he found that she was looking at him too, 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..."

He had already realized that he had misspoken. Saying his taste was better than the fat man's still meant he was talking about women in that particular profession, didn't it?

Whether high-class or low-class, whether a phoenix in a Grass Nest or a renowned courtesan, what difference did their profession make?

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

With that, she turned and left.

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

Bai Ge patted Mubai's shoulder with a sympathetic look.

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

At that moment, 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 instead.

"You..."

Dai Mubai abruptly raised his right hand. Intense white light surged from his palm. He had never had a good temper, 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 tiger-like pant before following behind Zhu Zhuqing toward the academy.

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

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

"Then they..." Ning Rongrong's little mind was a little 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.

From childhood to adulthood, she had always been pampered by the important figures of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If Bai Ge had not gradually changed her through fairy tales, she would definitely have turned out just like in the original story.

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

So 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 Eye every morning had already formed a habitual biological clock for him.

Bai Ge was the same.

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

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

In the original story, after they returned from the spirit arena, Ning Rongrong provoked the heartbroken Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai was so enraged that he said he would first do that to Ning Rongrong, then kill her.

Ning Rongrong continued provoking him, and Dai Mubai angrily sent her flying. Oscar acted as a cushion for Ning Rongrong and awakened her to the truth.

It was there that Ning Rongrong and Oscar's relationship gained the possibility of beginning.

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

In return, the system rewarded him with a Small 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 still enough for Bai Ge to break through from level thirty-nine to level forty.

So he had been cultivating continuously from midnight last night until now.

Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Bai Ge finished regulating his breathing and left his room, heading toward the cafeteria.

After Tang San finished breakfast, the sound of the class bell rang out, and everyone immediately headed to the training ground.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Flander finally arrived. After sweeping his gaze over everyone, he frowned. "Where's Oscar? Why hasn't he come yet? This class can't proceed without him."

Everyone looked at one another and said that none of them had seen Oscar that morning.

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

Around a quarter of an hour later, Oscar hurried over, joy written all over his face.

"Oscar, if you don't give me a suitable reason, then after class, you'll go run another twenty laps," Flander said darkly.

Oscar paid no attention to Flander's dissatisfied tone. He said excitedly, "Dean, I've broken through to level thirty."

"Oh? Is that so? Not bad, not bad. Then you're the third student to break through level thirty, and you're even a difficult-to-cultivate food-system Spirit Master. On behalf of the academy, congratulations."

Flander praised him repeatedly.

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

Bai Ge's indifferent voice rang out.

Bai Ge did not mean anything by it.

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

Oscar shut up.

Twelve years old and level forty—this was a true monster.

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

Flander still wanted to say something, but Bai Ge cut him off on the spot. "The fact that his Soul Chant is vulgar 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 out of nothing. This has nothing to do with willpower. No one here would be a low-level Spirit Master. Dean, the situation you described, where someone would eat even rats, cockroaches, or earthworms when their life was in danger, simply doesn't exist."

Flander had nothing to say.

Bai Ge sighed. "Friendship means being considerate of one another. We don't discriminate against Oscar, and he shouldn't recite his Soul Chant in front of us. Us men don't care, but it's perfectly normal for Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing to dislike it."

Bai Ge's compromise was ultimately accepted by everyone.
