Another Cuckold's Hat

"Then we'll have to see who can best protect the Soul Bone of their respective juniors."

Faced with Huyan Zhen's threat, Ning Fengzhi became unusually tough.

His meaning was self-evident.

If Huyan Zhen dares to touch his son-in-law Tang San, then he will touch Tang San's grandson Huyan Li.

At the same time, it's unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional.

When he said this, Ning Fengzhi deliberately raised his voice, and his voice quickly spread throughout the entire area under the influence of his Soul Power.

However, upon hearing this, Tang San felt no gratitude towards Ning Fengzhi. On one hand, he took it for granted, and on the other hand, he felt that the covetous gazes around him had decreased significantly, which made him feel relieved.

As the match ended, Tang San relaxed completely. He whispered in a voice only those around him could hear, "Xiao Wu, help me a little."

Xiao Wu looked at him and noticed that Tang San's team uniform was soaked with sweat and his face was extremely pale. Almost without thinking, she asked the two former vice-captains to help Tang San up.

Tang San, being supported by two extras, was stunned for a moment before remembering Xiao Wu's words about men and women not touching each other. He felt a little disappointed and guilty at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, a feeling of weakness washed over me.

His energy expenditure was simply too great.

Although he only used his Left Arm Soul Bone technique and External Soul Bone throughout the entire process.

However, while higher-quality Soul Bone Skill and Soul Ring skills are more powerful than those from 100,000 years ago, they also consume more Soul Power. For example, Soul Bone from 50,000 years ago or more can consume most of Tang San's Soul Power with just one release.

It was only because he cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill that his Soul Power was much greater than that of other Soul Master of the same level; otherwise, a single Demonic Tiger Assault would have been enough to drain all of his Soul Power.

Ning Fengzhi, who was on the VIP Platform, also realized this.

As Tang San stepped off the Competition Venue, he stood up and walked to the edge of the VIP Platform. Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, he unleashed his Seven Treasures True Body. With the help of Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasures True Body's fourth Soul Skill, Soul Power Amplification Light, and sixth Soul Skill, Healing Light, Tang San's originally pale complexion visibly turned rosy.

Tang San nodded, and Ning Fengzhi returned the gesture with a smile.

However, Ning Fengzhi found Ning Rongrong Fengzhi's showy performance increasingly abhorrent.

Ye Qinghe observed all of this, chuckled, and shook his head, thinking to himself, "It seems this Little Demoness has completely turned evil."

So the question is, should I really do as she wishes and try to steal her away?

After thinking it over for a while, Ye Qinghe looked at Tang San. Although Tang San didn't like Ning Rongrong, for any man, kidnapping a bride was a great humiliation.

It seems I'll still have to make a trip there eventually.

Ye Qinghe secretly made up his mind.

The preliminary rounds are ongoing.

Because Ye Qinghe defeated Elephant Armor Academy and Blazing Fire Academy by taking on seven opponents single-handedly, Dugu Yan poisoned the entire Thunder Academy with a single breath of poison mist.

As a result, the Imperial Fighting Team was once again unchallenged, just like before.

It wasn't until the twentieth match of the qualifiers that the situation was broken by the arrival of one person.

"You want to challenge me too?"

Standing before Ye Qinghe was a handsome young man dressed in a blue robe with silver embroidery—none other than Feng Xiaotian.

"Even though I can't win, I must do my best for Huo Wu Wu's sake," Feng Xiaotian said resolutely.

"It seems that the fairy of the new century made some promise to you. If so, you might as well swarm at me; that would actually increase your chances of winning. Choosing to fight me one-on-one is really not a wise move," Ye Qinghe.

Feng Xiaotian paused for a moment, then said with a bitter expression, "What I want is to defeat you fair and square. Otherwise, even if I win Huo Wu Wu's heart, it won't be honorable."

"He's an upright and honest person, but unfortunately, he's a simp."

Ye Qinghe sighed inwardly, but ultimately chose to grant his wish.

After Feng Xiaotian left, Bibi Dong leaned over and asked, "Xiao Ye, what does 'New Century Fairy' mean?"

Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan couldn't help but come closer, their eyes filled with wariness. After all, the fairy was praising a woman for being very beautiful. If they didn't know Ye Qinghe, they would have thought that he had Huo Wu for Huo Wu.

Ye Qinghe explained, "The so-called 'new century fairy' is a general term for those arrogant women who are all talk and no action, who think all men in the world owe them something and should obey them, but are actually empty-headed and useless, just like her."

As he spoke, Ye Qinghe pointed at Ning Rongrong.

Upon hearing this, the three women realized what was happening and breathed a sigh of relief, but Ning Rongrong immediately flew into a rage.

Ye Qinghe did not deliberately suppress his voice, and since the Imperial Fighting Team's rest area and the Shrek's rest area were very close, the Shrek members could hear him clearly.

"That bastard..."

Ning Rongrong glared at Ye Qinghe with clenched teeth. At this moment, she seemed to have regained her former cheerful and lively self as Little Demoness.

This greatly surprised the rest of the Shrek members.

This was the first time Ning Rongrong had shown the innocence of a young girl since learning that she had been betrothed to Tang San, instead of her previous gloomy and lifeless appearance.

Oscar leaned close to Ma Hongjun's ear and whispered, "Fatty, wasn't it said that Rongrong's fiancé was Xiao Si? Why did she give Ye Qinghe that kind of look?"

Ma Hongjun teased, "What, Xiao Ao, are you planning to pursue Rongrong?"

Oscar rolled his eyes, and fearing Xiao Wu might misunderstand, he quickly explained, "I just found it strange."

Dai Mubai interjected, "What's so strange about that? In my opinion, Rongrong's gaze towards Ye Qinghe has changed ever since that bastard beat her up a few times. Although she's been betrothed to Xiao Si by his father, it's just a political marriage. If Xiao Si can like Xiao Wu, it's hard to guarantee that Rongrong won't develop feelings for that Ye Qinghe."

"You mean they're planning to each do their own thing?" Oscar was taken aback.

"What are you saying? Sister Xiao Wu is pure and innocent." Yu Tianheng couldn't stand it anymore and scolded.

Tang San overheard their conversation. Originally, he didn't care much about Ning Rongrong and Ye Qinghe's flirtatious exchanges, and he was too lazy to care.

But now Ning Rongrong is his fiancée in name only; their fates are intertwined, one prospers and the other suffers.

This gave rise to a sense of anxiety within him.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang returned. Gone was his initial fawning attitude towards Tang San; he seemed to have reverted to his former ' Grandmaster ' persona, saying indifferently, "This time, your opponent has emerged: Skywater Academy."

Tang San naturally knew that Yu Xiaogang was still holding a grudge about what happened in the last battle with the Canghui Academy, but he was too lazy to explain anything to Yu Xiaogang.

Soon, the Shrek team took to the field.

Because of the conversation between the four Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San only allowed Dai Mubai, who was a eunuch, to participate. Xiao Wu also participated with Tang San. Tang San could not let Xiao Wu out of his sight and be alone with Ma Hongjun, Yu Tianheng, Oscar and other Seven Devils.

Because Ning Rongrong was Tang San's fiancée and had been flirting with Ye Qinghe, Tang San also arranged for her to appear on stage.
