The five Shrek uglies' free-for-all

"Damn it, so they deliberately let me go back then, just so I could cultivate for 100,000 years and add another Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring to the Tang family."

After a moment of exasperation and gritted teeth, Xiao Wu said indifferently to Ye Qinghe, "Ye Qinghe, when you become Titled Douluo one day, you must exterminate Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, Tang San, and even the entire Tang family. Otherwise, even as a ghost, I will not let you go."

"It just so happens that I have some past grievances with the Tang family, so I'd be more than happy to oblige."

Ye Qinghe smiled faintly, turned around and walked out of the wooden house.

As they approached the door, he suddenly turned his head. "One last reminder: besides being mindful of your attitude towards Tang San, you've probably heard what Ning Rongrong said outside. Those four guys outside, because of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, whether they're after your body or something else, have already fallen for you. You might as well make use of them. Also, you'd better keep your encounter with me today a secret. Otherwise, if Tang San and his son find out, I might only lose a Soul Ring and a Soul Bone, but you'll lose much more than I will."

"You don't need to say anything more." Xiao Wu still didn't give Ye Qinghe a friendly look.

While the Tang family was certainly hateful, Ye Qinghe was no better. From the very beginning, he had his eye on her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. If she didn't need to rely on his power to take revenge someday, she would rather self-destruct than let anyone benefit after being discovered.

Having achieved his goal, Ye Qinghe no longer cared about Xiao Wu Wu's attitude towards him and stepped out of the wooden house.

As soon as they stepped outside, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, those four scoundrels, rushed up to them, eager to go back inside and find Xiao Wu.

As they parted ways, Ye Qinghe Ye Qinghe in a voice only the four of them could hear, "Not bad, very smooth."

Upon hearing this, the four scoundrels immediately turned bloodshot and began panting heavily.

[Yu Tianheng's favorability -40, current favorability -100. Congratulations, host, you have gained four chances to draw a prize.]

[Yu Tianheng's resentment +8888888]

[Dai Mubai's resentment +8888888]

[Ma Hongjun's resentment +8888888]

[Oscar's favorability -40, current favorability -100. Congratulations, host, you have gained four chances to draw a prize.]

[Oscar resentment +8888888]

"Bastards." Their eyes were bloodshot, and they glared at Ye Qinghe with venom. Suppressing their murderous urge, they rushed inside.

But then he saw Xiao Wu standing inside, completely unharmed and with an indifferent expression.

"Sister Xiao Wu, what are you wearing..." Ma Hongjun exclaimed in surprise.

Before he could even utter the word "clothes," Oscar and Dai Mubai covered his mouth.

"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Wu raised an eyebrow.

"No, it's nothing," Oscar said.

Dai Mubai chimed in, "Yeah, it's nothing. But speaking of which, Sister Xiao Wu, did that bastard Ye Qinghe give you any trouble just now?"

Yu Tianheng said, "Don't worry, Sister Xiao Wu. Dugu Bo is no match for my grandfather, Thunder Douluo. If that guy Ye Qinghe dares to bully you, I'll have my grandfather settle the score with that bastard."

Xiao Wu shook her head and said, "No, he just wanted to discuss with me why Tang San isn't growing taller."

Hearing this, the four scoundrels breathed a sigh of relief. They were startled; they almost thought that their pure and innocent Sister Xiao Wu had been defiled by that bastard Ye Qinghe.

"Alright, everything's fine now, let's go." Xiao Wu stepped forward, and the four rotten-egg ghosts automatically parted to make way for her, following behind her.

"Sister Xiao Wu, where are we going?" Oscar asked cautiously, following behind Xiao Wu.

"Go find Tang San." From her previous conversation with Ye Qinghe, Xiao Wu learned that Tang Hao had already arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If things continued as before, Tang Hao would eventually realize that she had seen through the father and son's intentions. In order to avoid being imprisoned, she had no choice but to go and pretend to be friendly with Tang San for the time being.

Hearing that they were going to find Tang San, the four rotten devils felt a little uneasy, but they were afraid of upsetting Xiao Wu, so they dared not show it.

On the other side, Ye Qinghe had already walked up to Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling.

"How is the situation?" Dugu Yan asked.

"Hmm, things are going even more smoothly than I expected." Ye Qinghe glanced in the direction of the wooden house, just as Xiao Wu led the four ugly Shrek with gloomy faces out. The two looked at each other, Xiao Wu snorted coldly, and left with Dai Mubai and the others.

Ye Qinghe smiled nonchalantly, then turned to Lingling, "Let's go, Lingling, take me to see your father."

Ye Lingling nodded obediently, and the two groups headed in the same direction but different routes toward the conference room.

Meanwhile, in one of the nine conference rooms near the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ning Fengzhi sat at the head of the conference room, leisurely drinking tea. Beside him, Tang San, who was only a little over 1.3 meters tall and whose feet didn't touch the ground while sitting on the chair, sat there with his eyes closed in deep thought.

Ning Rongrong stood silently behind Ning Fengzhi, her eyes slightly red. Just now, Ning Fengzhi had proposed the following conditions for recruiting Tang San: the full support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect plus the offer of Tang San as his son-in-law.

Although the latter condition was worded somewhat cryptically, Ning Rongrong understood it.

But.

How could she possibly be willing to marry a dwarf, especially one who had been a gun carriage? With Tang San's physique, was she sure his manhood would still be usable?

It's hard to imagine that her father, who had always been so loving and indulgent towards her, would force her to marry someone she didn't like, and to make matters worse, that person was a congenital eunuch.

Isn't this just making her live like a widow?

So much so that Ning Rongrong, who originally only had a morbid interest in Tang San, now felt a deep-seated disgust for this dwarf.

At the same time, a dangerous thought popped into her mind: what if the person she was to marry was Ye Qinghe?

After pondering for a long time, Tang San opened his eyes and finally spoke, "I'm sorry, Uncle Ning, I can't join."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's full support, including curing his dwarfism, was very tempting for Tang San, but what he wanted was to establish a sect and restore the glory of the Tang Sect!

It's definitely not about joining a particular sect.

Even if this sect is the wealthiest sect in the current Soul Master World, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As for Ning Rongrong, just by looking at her, even if Tang San were an idiot, he would know that she didn't think much of him.

But had he ever taken a liking to this spoiled young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Only Xiao Wu never complained that he was never grown up, and stayed by his side from beginning to end when his father left.

The only one he will ever love and marry is Xiao Wu.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said to Tang San, "Little San, since you don't have this intention for the time being, then Uncle won't force you. However, Uncle is very interested in the Hidden Weapon you made. I wonder if you could sell us the method for making these Hidden Weapon? Name your price, and Uncle will definitely satisfy you."
