On the Ancient Path of Qin Chuan, yellow sand filled the sky.
Two graceful figures sped across the land.
One of them was Xiao Qiao, who had just made the rankings.
She tightly clutched the Jade Slip Mozi had just sent her, her little face flushed with excitement.
"Big Sister! Hurry up!"
"Old Mo said Brother Li Xin has come out of seclusion!"
"I really want to see what Brother Li Xin looks like now too. Has he become even more handsome?"
Beside her,
a woman dressed in blue helplessly shook her head, her eyes full of affection.
The woman possessed a gentle, waterlike temperament, carrying the poise of a young lady of a prominent family in every gesture.
Yet a hint of urgency was also hidden between her brows.
"Slow down. Lord Xin isn't going anywhere in the Mechanism City."
As the two spoke, a group of people suddenly appeared ahead.
It was the Shrek group, who had withdrawn from Chang'an City and were preparing to return to Heaven Dou City.
The two parties met head-on upon the narrow Ancient Path.
Ma Hongjun had originally been venting his frustration from earlier. The moment he looked up, his tiny eyes instantly went wide.
Two peerless beauties stood ahead.
One was sweet and adorable, her pink dress fluttering in the wind. She was Xiao Qiao from the Heavenly Curtain.
The other was even more devastating.
She wore a long blue skirt, as tranquil as the deep sea.
The slit in her skirt rose extremely high, revealing a pair of breathtakingly long legs as she walked.
Her skin was fairer than snow, soft and full without being plump—truly the finest legs, enough to squeeze a man to death.
Especially the way she stood barefoot in midair, the elegant curve of her arched feet, the Red Rope tied around her ankle—it was practically seducing one's soul.
Ma Hongjun felt a surge of evil fire rush straight to his head.
Boss Dai was dead, and he had been bottling up his anger for days with nowhere to vent it.
Now, two exquisite beauties had delivered themselves to him—and they were enemies of Spirit Hall's side?
"Well, well, aren't you beauties famous on the rankings?"
Ma Hongjun directly blocked the middle of the road, wearing his signature lecherous grin.
His fat body trembled as his gaze roamed brazenly over the two sisters.
"I'm Ma Hongjun of the Shrek Seven Devils, known as the Evil Fire Phoenix."
"Since we've run into each other, how about we spar?"
"Especially this sister in blue clothes. We can have an in-depth exchange about our martial souls."
As he spoke, Soul Power surged through his body, and a scorching fiery aura rushed toward them.
That was no sparring match. He clearly wanted to get handsy.
Behind them,
Yu Xiaogang frowned, but said nothing.
In his view, since these two women had made the rankings, they were bound to be potential threats.
It would be good to have Fatty test them out.
Even if they offended them, it did not matter. They were already locked in a fight to the death with Li Xin's faction anyway.
Xiao Wu opened her mouth, intending to stop him.
"Fatty, don't cause trouble..."
"Oh, Sister Xiao Wu, don't worry about it!"
Ma Hongjun shouted back, his eyes already bloodshot.
"This evil fire can't be suppressed once it flares up. Besides, they're not good people either. What's wrong with letting me enjoy myse—teach them a lesson?"
Oscar did not move either, merely shrugging.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao exchanged a glance, their once-radiant faces instantly turning icy.
"Get lost."
Da Qiao's voice was cold and clear, like an icy spring striking stone.
Though she was gentle by nature, she was no soft target for others to bully.
"Oh? You've got quite the temper?"
Ma Hongjun chuckled and directly summoned Phoenix Flame.
"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Don't blame me for not cherishing a beautiful woman!"
Just as tension mounted between both sides and Ma Hongjun's fat pig hand was about to reach out,
thunder boomed through the heavens once more!
The previously calm Heavenly Curtain suddenly churned, vast water vapor covering half the sky.
[Martial Soul Ranking, Eleventh Place!] [Name: Da Qiao] [Affiliation: Eastern Wu (Currently Traveling Douluo Continent)] [Martial Soul: Water of Nature (Spirit of the Vast Sea)] [Level: Rank 97 Titled Douluo]
The picture instantly shifted.
It was no longer static text, but a real-time Live Broadcast!
Everyone clearly saw the scene on the Ancient Path.
That stunning woman in the blue skirt, floating barefoot in the air, was Da Qiao!
The picture zoomed in on her pair of jade feet.
Unrestrained by any footwear, those feet were white and lustrous as jade, her toes round and adorable as ripples spread through the air beneath them.
The impact of holiness intertwined with seduction left countless men staring blankly.
Then, the rewards were issued.
[Martial Soul Ranking, Eleventh Place Reward!] [Bestowed Super Divine Artifact—Sea Pearl Lamp (Soul Water Lamp)!] [Bestowed three God-Tier Water System Soul Bones!]
An Ancient Lantern radiating faint blue light slowly descended into Da Qiao's hands.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Curtain's picture cruelly projected Ma Hongjun's drooling, lust-filled face and the dirty hand reaching toward Da Qiao's chest into every corner of the continent.
Mo Family Mechanism City, Core Control Room.
Li Xin had been reclining in a lounge chair, enjoying Gongsun Li's massage.
Gongsun Li knelt beside him, her beautiful legs wrapped in maple-leaf-red stockings pressed tightly against his thigh.
Her little hands peeled a crystal-clear grape and brought it to Li Xin's lips.
"My lord, open your mouth~"
Li Xin had just eaten the grape when he looked up and saw the scene on the Heavenly Curtain.
In that instant,
the temperature throughout the entire control room plunged to freezing point.
The grape skin in Gongsun Li's hand fell to the floor. Her rabbit ears suddenly stood upright, her eyes filled with incredulous fury.
"That damned Fatty!"
"How dare he?!"
"Sister Da Qiao is such a gentle person, yet he actually..."
Li Xin slowly rose to his feet.
The expression on his face was terrifyingly calm. There was no ferocity, and he even wore a faint smile.
Yet deep within his eyes, golden red light surged wildly.
He gently patted Gongsun Li's trembling shoulder, his fingers brushing across her delicate cheek.
"Some insects will never understand what reverence means unless they are completely crushed."
"I just killed a tiger, and now this pig is in such a hurry to reincarnate."
"Since Shrek wants to be nice and orderly so badly,"
Li Xin's voice was soft, yet it was like the Netherworld Cold Wind.
"Then I'll grant their wish."
Meanwhile,
Zhu Zhuqing, who was on her way to the Wonderful Sound Workshop, saw this scene as well.
She stared fixedly at Ma Hongjun's nauseating face in the picture, then looked at the silent Yu Xiaogang and Oscar standing behind him.
An unprecedented wave of disgust rose within her.
Those had once been the comrades who fought beside her.
Those were the so-called "Shrek Monsters."
They spoke endlessly of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and brotherhood.
But what had they done?
Dai Mubai had abandoned her and fled, Ma Hongjun harassed a decent woman in broad daylight, and Yu Xiaogang indulged and shielded him.
They were nothing but trash wearing human skin!
Zhu Zhuqing felt a wave of relief.
Relief that she had finally escaped that pit of fire.
She turned to look at Yang Guifei beside her, her gaze becoming incomparably resolute.
"Sister Yuhuan, let's walk faster."
"I want to begin my new life as soon as possible."
