"Don't call me Blondie! I told you, this is the hair color of Sunshine Bubble Gold No. 003!"
Dai Mubai's face was full of anger, but then guilt appeared on it as he said to Chen Lang, "Little brother, sorry. That was my first time riding a horse, so I messed up. To apologize, come on, big brother's treating you to a meal. Order the most expensive stuff!"
A trace of surprise flashed through Chen Lang's eyes as he looked at Dai Mubai. The other party did not seem as arrogant and domineering as he had been in the original story.
But then he remembered Zhao Wuji's teaching: those who did not dare to stir up trouble were mediocre.
Chen Lang laughed silently. Perhaps the root cause was simply that those Shrek teachers were terrible at teaching.
A sleazy owl, a Zhao Wuji who caused trouble everywhere, and a useless Master—what good students could they possibly teach?
Acquire them!
He would acquire them today!
They would all become his workers!
Anyone who disobeyed would be fired on the spot.
"Don't be polite with me. I've got plenty of money!"
Seeing Chen Lang standing there without moving, Dai Mubai assumed he was embarrassed. He quickly threw an arm around Chen Lang's shoulders and said, "Eat as much as you want!"
"Really?"
"You got it!"
"Then can I bring someone along?"
"No problem!"
"Boss, the total is one hundred Gold Soul Coins!"
"..."
Looking at the owner's thirty-seven-degree mouth as it uttered such ice-cold words,
Dai Mubai's mouth twitched.
Then he looked resentfully at Chen Lang and the horse groom behind him.
It was one thing for a growing boy to eat his old man broke.
But you, a damn horse groom—were you a starving ghost in your previous life or something?!
It was one thing to eat two Roast Suckling Pigs by yourself, but you even packed up two more Roast Suckling Pigs to take home!
"Forget it. I'll pay."
Chen Lang knew how much money a disgraced prince who had run away from home could have. But seeing how enthusiastic Dai Mubai had been, how could he still let the other party treat him?
Especially when his horse groom had eaten and taken food away. It was too embarrassing.
"No. I'm older than you, so I count as your big brother. How could a big brother let his little brother pay? Besides, I said I was treating you. How could I let you pay?"
Heart aching, Dai Mubai took out his card and handed it to the owner.
He had only brought ten thousand Gold Soul Coins when he came out this time, and this single meal had eaten up one percent of his wealth.
So depressed. So miserable.
"Then thanks."
Chen Lang did not argue. Later, you'll find out who's really the big brother.
This time, he would let it slide since Dai Mubai had played the sucker once.
"Brother Chen, you're heading to Shrek Academy too, right?"
After leaving the restaurant, the pain on Dai Mubai's face eased considerably. He looked at Chen Lang and asked.
"That's right."
"Then that's great! We'll be classmates from now on!" Dai Mubai said happily.
"Classmates?"
Chen Lang chuckled inwardly.
Little Blondie, your Brother Lang is here to acquire Shrek Academy.
From now on, you'll be calling me Principal.
Not long after the two left,
three sneaky figures followed behind Chen Lang and Dai Mubai.
"They spent a thousand Gold Soul Coins on one meal. Those two brats are seriously rich!" said a skinny, sallow-faced man with a thick cigar dangling from his mouth. He swayed his head as he stared at Chen Lang and Dai Mubai, looking utterly sleazy.
"It's good that they're rich. If they weren't, what would we use?" A similarly sleazy and greasy-looking man with triangular eyes revealed a greedy smile.
"Why the hell are you still talking? Just go rob them! Otherwise, they'll spend it all!" A fat man with a huge belly and his navel exposed was the first to follow after them.
"Brother Chen, you've got to admit, the girls in little Suotuo City are pretty high quality!" Dai Mubai wandered around with Chen Lang, eyeing the snowy-white thighs on the street and the youthful, pretty girls as he whispered in Chen Lang's ear.
"Could you stop being so sleazy? Being around you makes me feel embarrassed." Chen Lang shot Dai Mubai an annoyed glance.
He had originally planned to find Flender and snatch the Board Crystal Gold from his shop, leaving Tang San with one fewer trump card in the early stages.
But the moment Dai Mubai heard that he was going shopping, he immediately followed along.
The problem was, this guy had stared at every girl in a miniskirt along the way. Sometimes, he even stared at mature women with their deep cleavage exposed.
It would have been one thing if he only looked, but he even commented on them in Chen Lang's ear.
A lustful tiger was still a lustful tiger.
Still, since you're so lustful, I'll take Zhu Zhuqing for you.
"Brother Chen, you're still young, so I understand that you don't understand women. Once you try it for yourself, you'll know why they say men are naturally lustful." Dai Mubai spouted his crooked logic.
"Right, right."
Chen Lang could not be bothered to refute him.
If you weren't such a scumbag, how would I win over Zhu Zhuqing?
Little lustful tiger, go ahead and be your scumbag.
Your fiancée, I'll take care of her.
Bang!
At that moment, a fat figure suddenly crashed into Dai Mubai.
"Are you blind?!"
Dai Mubai staggered back and glared angrily at the fat man who had bumped into him.
"Sorry, sorry."
The fat man hurriedly apologized. "I drank too much and didn't notice. Sorry."
"What bad luck!"
Dai Mubai perhaps had not yet received Shrek's overbearing education, so his temper was clearly not as violent as it had been in the original story. After spitting in disgust, he did not continue pressing the matter.
"Wait!"
At that moment, Chen Lang stopped the fat man.
Chen Lang had recognized the fat man as E'kao. After all, he had a deep impression of such a sleazy fat man.
The man would not have bumped into Dai Mubai for no reason.
"Is there anything else? I already apologized."
E'kao did not know why, but seeing the little boy's gaze made him feel somewhat flustered.
"Little Bai, check whether your money pouch is missing."
Chen Lang ignored E'kao and spoke to Dai Mubai instead.
Dai Mubai immediately understood. He stepped in front of E'kao, then touched his chest. His expression instantly turned cold as he looked at the fat, sleazy man before him. "You dare steal my money? You must have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts!"
"I didn't expect you two to be so alert."
Seeing that he had been exposed, E'kao simply dropped the act. He clapped his hands and said, "The money's in my clothes, so it's mine. How can you prove it's yours? I could even say you're framing me!"
"What are you making such a fuss about?"
"Yeah, what happened?!"
At that moment, Tianya and Bu Le walked over, dressed like proper gentlemen. They pinned their Soul Elder badges onto their Spirit Hall Soul Master uniforms and said, "We're from Spirit Hall. If there's a problem, talk to us."
"Don't worry, we guarantee fairness, justice, and openness." Bu Le stood at the front, smoking a large cigar.
"..."
Seeing that the Three Lewd Scoundrels had assembled, Chen Lang could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth. "No, with your looks and your whole vibe, anyone can tell you're together. You're still putting on an act here? Do you really think you're playing undercover agents?"
