"Interesting... disgust?" A teasing curve lifted at the corner of Su Ling's lips.
Over so many lifetimes, every Heroine he had encountered had been a boss.
They were people he could not afford to provoke, yet because of his missions, he had no choice but to keep showing up in front of them.
But in this life, it was his first time encountering such a weak Heroine.
"Please inform Dean Flender of Shrek Academy and Master Yu Xiaogang that we wish to see Madam Ye regarding an urgent matter."
Flender straightened his appearance and courteously cupped his hands toward the gatekeeper.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang stood proudly to one side, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the estate. He was clearly rather disdainful of the Su Family's lavish decor.
"What Shrek Dean, what bullshit Master? Get lost! Beggars, get the hell out of here! Is Madam someone you people can see?" The gatekeeper waved them off with a face full of contempt, as though swatting flies.
Because of Su Ling's condition these past few days, Ye Wanqing had invited quite a few self-proclaimed masters to exorcise him.
It had all turned out to be a farce, throwing the estate into chaos.
By now, those who called themselves masters were no different from con artists in the gatekeeper's eyes.
"Mubai, do it. If this keeps up, Fatty really won't make it."
Tang San immediately shot Dai Mubai a meaningful look. He knew that reasoning with people who looked down on others was useless.
Dai Mubai understood. He dashed forward, his Tiger Claw seizing the gatekeeper by the collar and lifting him bodily into the air before viciously hurling him aside.
Caught off guard, the gatekeeper crashed heavily onto the ground, baring his teeth in pain.
"Y-you actually dare cause trouble in the Su Family!" The gatekeeper struggled to his feet, pointing at them with a livid face.
"Impudent!" Flender's expression darkened as his Soul Power erupted instantly. Seven soul rings gleamed beneath his feet, and the powerful pressure made the gatekeeper fall silent at once, his legs turning weak.
"We did not come here to cause trouble. The situation is truly urgent. If treatment is delayed, can you bear the responsibility?" Yu Xiaogang spoke coldly, a trace of impatience flashing through his eyes.
Su Ling, watching from the upstairs balcony in the distance, was practically amused. They had come to ask for help and were still acting so arrogant—these people from Shrek Academy were truly interesting.
After talking for so long, Ye Wanqing saw that Su Ling had actually drifted off.
Following his gaze, she was immediately drawn to Ning Rongrong.
The young girl's beauty was like a painting, and her temperament was ethereal. Even amid the chaos, she could not conceal her noble grace.
"Isn't that the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? I'm warning you, brat, don't you dare get any ideas about her!" Ye Wanqing grabbed Su Ling by the ear and warned him in a low voice.
Who had the strongest backing in the Heaven Dou Empire right now?
Other than this Little Princess, probably no one dared claim first place.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was as wealthy as a nation, while Spirit Hall was the continent's number one force.
With those two great backers combined, even though the Su Family could be considered a powerful force within the empire, they absolutely could not afford to provoke her.
Ye Lingling lightly bit her lips and lowered her head in disappointment, a trace of bitterness welling up in her heart.
Ye Wanqing tenderly stroked Ye Lingling's head, then turned and glared at Su Ling. "Look at you, never serious all day long. You've made Lingling cry!"
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps rang out.
Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the others had already forced their way in, with several panicked Su Family guards following behind them.
Ye Wanqing's delicate brows shot up. She strode forward and positioned herself in front of Su Ling and Ye Lingling, saying coldly, "You have trespassed into my Su Family. What exactly do you intend to do?"
Since most of the Su Family's fighting strength had already been deployed at the front lines, the estate's defenses were weak at the moment.
Faced with Shrek Academy's forceful intrusion, they were unable to stop them for the time being.
"Madam Ye, the matter is urgent. Please forgive us."
Flender cupped his hands in greeting, his tone carrying a hint of anxiety. "A student of our academy, Ma Hongjun, is suffering an Evil Fire Outbreak..."
Flender had initially been somewhat flustered, but upon seeing that only the elderly, weak, women, and children remained before him, he immediately felt emboldened.
They would treat him today whether they wanted to or not!
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward directly, his burning gaze fixed on Ye Lingling behind Ye Wanqing. "I have heard that the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul possesses powerful healing abilities. I respectfully ask Miss Ye to lend us her aid!"
Frightened by Yu Xiaogang's scorching gaze, Ye Lingling took half a step back and instinctively grabbed Su Ling's sleeve.
"An Evil Fire Outbreak, and you come looking for us. Are you trying to make Lingling sleep with that dead fatass?"
Su Ling sneered from the side, a trace of mockery flashing through his eyes.
Indeed, the Nine Star Begonia could heal injuries, but a problem like an Evil Fire Outbreak was clearly not something simple healing could resolve.
Yu Xiaogang choked on Su Ling's words, and his expression immediately darkened.
"How can you talk like that? This is a matter of life and death. Don't you have even a shred of sympathy?" Xiao Wu could not help stepping forward, glaring furiously at Su Ling.
Ning Rongrong tugged at Xiao Wu's sleeve and whispered, "Forget it. Don't lower yourself to his level."
For some reason, from the moment she entered, she had sensed Su Ling's gaze intermittently falling upon her.
It gave her the illusion of being watched by a natural predator, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
Yet Su Ling had no intention of letting her off.
He slowly stepped forward, grabbed Ning Rongrong from the crowd, and said softly, "Doesn't he like you? You might as well just be with him."
"Though he's ugly, the Evil Fire Phoenix's abilities are quite impressive. I guarantee he'll satisfy you."
"Besides, everyone knows that if his evil fire isn't released, no amount of treatment will help. So what's wrong with you making a small sacrifice to avoid causing everyone trouble?"
"You!" Ning Rongrong's face turned deathly pale with fright. The very thought of that disgusting fat man made her want to vomit—how could she possibly be with him?
Hearing this, Xiao Wu instantly lost her temper and kicked at Su Ling. "You bastard, watch your mouth!"
But in the next instant, a sword blade was already pressed against Xiao Wu's throat.
"Old Mo, next time someone attacks me, just kill them. There's no need to show mercy."
Su Ling spoke indifferently, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes.
Old Mo was the Su Family's Dark Guard Leader, and his strength had already reached the Soul Douluo level.
At that moment, he appeared behind Xiao Wu like a ghostly shadow, the cold gleam of the longsword in his hand piercingly sharp.
Xiao Wu felt a chill at her neck and immediately froze in place, not daring to move.
"Stop! Let Xiao Wu go!" Seeing this, purple light flashed in Tang San's eyes. The Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track activated instantly as he tried to save Xiao Wu.
However, Old Mo merely snorted coldly and abruptly released the pressure of his Soul Power. Tang San felt his chest tighten, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was sent flying backward.
"Xiao San!" Dai Mubai roared as the White Tiger Vajra Transformation activated instantly. The muscles across his body swelled as he lunged at Old Mo.
But in the next moment, one Dark Guard after another emerged from the shadows, surrounding the Shrek group on all sides.
The weakest of these Dark Guards were Soul Saints. Their powerful Soul Power fluctuations made even the air turn sluggish.
