Cut it off and be a eunuch, then it'll be fine

Seeing Ma Hongjun retreat after just a few words, Li Xiaoyao decided to stir up some trouble!

He heard--

"Want to solve your Evil Fire?"

"Isn't that easy?"

"Just cut it off yourself and become a eunuch!"

Everyone: "..."

Good heavens, what a guy!

Li Xiaoyao's words silenced everyone present.

Telling Ma Hongjun to cut it off and become a eunuch?

If he was willing to cut it off, would he still be pestering Tang San for the Mysterious Heaven Skill?

Everyone's mouths hung slightly open, wanting to speak but holding back.

They wanted to retort, but it was awkward to do so.

After all, none of them present could defeat Li Xiaoyao.

However, while others feared Li Xiaoyao, Ma Hongjun, that hot-headed fool, didn't care about that and immediately retorted angrily.

"Hey! Where did you, pretty boy, come from!"

"My business, is it your place to butt in?"

"Believe it or not, I'll make you pay later?"

Ma Hongjun rolled up his sleeves and roared. As his gaze fell upon Li Xiaoyao's face, which was as handsome as the readers', he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity the more he looked.

Until his gaze swept past Ning Rongrong, who was affectionately holding Li Xiaoyao's arm by his side, her apricot eyes looking at him with a half-smile, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck his mind!

"It's, it's you!"

"You're Ning Rongrong?"

"He's your boyfriend?"

"Then he's Li Xiaoyao?"

"It was you two bastards who made me age twenty years overnight and stole my three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones!"

Ma Hongjun's roar suddenly tore through the air, veins bulging on his forehead. His already flushed face turned purple, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the two. Every word was filled with bone-chilling hatred, as if he wanted to devour them alive.

Ning Rongrong's expression sank, her pretty face covered in frost.

"You short, fat, perverted fatty, watch what you say! You were the one who spoke disrespectfully that day, and you even tried to take advantage of me. If Brother Xiaoyao hadn't intervened in time, do you think I would have let you off, you scoundrel?"

"As for you aging twenty years and losing your soul bone, that's entirely your own doing. It's the consequence you brought upon yourself!"

Sensing the undisguised hatred in Ma Hongjun's eyes, a faint gleam flashed in Li Xiaoyao's.

This Ma Hongjun and Flender were truly master and disciple, both equally stingy, valuing these external possessions more than their own lives.

Unfortunately, he lacked Flender's cunning and shrewdness, directly displaying his greed and malice on his face without any pretense.

The events of a few days ago were clear to everyone.

It was clearly Ma Hongjun who coveted Ning Rongrong's beauty and attempted to force himself on her. After failing and being taught a lesson, and even finding a way to resolve his Evil Fire, he truly saw himself as a victim who had suffered immense injustice.

Li Xiaoyao subtly glanced at the wooden house in the distance. Flender and Zhao Wuji were leaning against the doorframe, chatting, but their gazes flickered towards them intermittently.

Clearly, the two had long noticed the commotion here but were deliberately holding back, wanting to see how things would unfold.

Would Ma Hongjun act unreasonably, throw a tantrum, and try to force them to return the items left by Nine Emperor Douluo?

Or would the two young people, Li Xiaoyao and Ning Rongrong, be too thin-skinned to endure the harassment and reluctantly return the items?

"Heh heh! They're even plotting against me!"

"It seems this fatty wasn't taught a harsh enough lesson!"

"It's necessary to make him disappear completely!"

Li Xiaoyao secretly took note of Flender's calculations and Ma Hongjun's venomous hatred, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

If Ma Hongjun were to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, he would definitely not be polite to this fatty, ensuring he became fertilizer there.

He wasn't a generous or easy-going person.

Facing an enemy like Ma Hongjun, who wished he could be cut into a thousand pieces, why would he keep him around for the New Year instead of getting rid of him immediately?

Just as Li Xiaoyao was contemplating how to make Ma Hongjun disappear silently in the Star Dou Great Forest.

He heard Ma Hongjun deny the facts.

"You dead girl is spouting nonsense!"

"I was just casually teasing you back then, and you two dogs dared to lay such heavy hands on me!"

"And today you dare to publicly humiliate me, saying I'll become a eunuch?"

"I think you two dogs are tired of living!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Ning Rongrong's cheeks turn cold, but even Li Xiaoyao, who was still thinking, had a somber expression, his eyes chilling as he spoke indifferently.

"Heh! Sister Rongrong! Since this fatso denies having any improper intentions towards you and doesn't admit to trying to force himself on you, then you should return that Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone to him..."

As soon as Li Xiaoyao said this, Flender and Tang San's eyes lit up, though their thoughts were vastly different.

Flender was happy that Li Xiaoyao was willing to compromise. Even if he could only get back one Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, it was worth it.

After all, Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were not common cabbages. He had originally planned to try his luck, not expecting to gain much from a tough nut like Li Xiaoyao.

Being able to get back a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone now was already an unexpected joy.

As for the rest of the items, he had no expectations.

After all, Li Xiaoyao had clearly stated the price for solving Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire, and there was no room for him to go back on his word.

Tang San, on the other hand, was thinking about how to steal that Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone from Ma Hongjun...

Pah! That's not right!

He was Tang San, who was Pure and Clean and a Gentleman. How could he call such a thing stealing?

He was clearly thinking of Ma Hongjun's safety and was temporarily helping to "keep" the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

The more Tang San thought about it, the more righteous his actions seemed. His gaze towards Ma Hongjun carried a hint of "concern," as if he were a good person truly looking out for him.

He completely forgot that in his thought of "keeping" it, he hadn't asked Ma Hongjun if he was willing at all, nor had he considered that he had already developed a strong greed for that Soul Bone.

Just as everyone was waiting for Ning Rongrong to hand over the Soul Bone, Ning Rongrong remained still. This was because she understood her man; he would never let her suffer a loss.

And indeed, it was just as Ning Rongrong had thought. Li Xiaoyao then slowly added a few more sentences.

"Heh! You fatso!"

"Since you want money over your life, then I'll fulfill your wish!"

"Sister Rongrong, we'll return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect later. Then you can properly complain to your two Titled Douluo grandfathers."

Tell them that Flender, the Dean of Shrek Academy, indulged his disciple Ma Hongjun in having improper intentions towards you. After he failed to force himself on you, he not only refused to admit his mistake but also twisted the truth and demanded a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone!

Li Xiaoyao's voice was sonorous and powerful. Every word struck the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer, especially the words "two Titled Douluo grandfathers," which instantly turned Flender's face ashen.

Flender panicked. He activated his Martial Soul Avatar and charged rapidly towards Li Xiaoyao and Ning Rongrong--
