Hearing the terrible news, Flender felt his heart sink. The person before him was the best Healing System Soul Master he could find. If even he couldn't do anything, what else could they do?
Because of his Martial Soul, Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire burned fiercely. Every few days, he had to visit the brothels and find a woman to "inspect the plumbing," letting off steam that way.
But now the tools for repairing the plumbing were broken. How was he supposed to let off steam from now on?
Was Flender supposed to stand by and watch his disciple burn himself up with Evil Fire?
Unwilling to give up, he asked, "Is there really nothing that can be done?"
The middle-aged man sighed and said helplessly, "I'm afraid my abilities are limited."
Flender: "..."
That wasn't all. The middle-aged man continued, "I found traces of ice-attribute Soul Power in his body. It's extremely overbearing and has already damaged the function of his internal organs."
Flender was startled. He hurriedly asked, "Which organs did it damage? What effects will that have?"
The middle-aged man replied, "His bladder. As for the effects, he might not be able to control his bodily functions in the future."
Flender was instantly dumbstruck. If he couldn't control his bodily functions, didn't that mean he might pee himself anywhere, anytime?
What a disgrace. An utter disgrace.
Hearing this, Dai Mubai, standing nearby, felt a lingering fear. Luckily, he hadn't joined in and done something stupid.
Fifteen minutes later, the middle-aged man left.
Under his treatment, Ma Hongjun's injuries had mostly healed, and his swollen, piglike face had gone down.
But his manhood still couldn't be saved.
To prevent any blockages, the affected tissue had been cut away entirely.
Ma Hongjun had woken up during the procedure. He couldn't have stayed asleep—it hurt too much, and he screamed his head off.
Now, Ma Hongjun was crying to Flender.
"Teacher, you have to avenge me! I only looked at that woman for a moment, and she beat me up like this."
"They've gone too far!" Flender slammed his palm on the table in fury.
Although he knew this was only his disciple's side of the story and couldn't be trusted completely,
no matter what had happened, he couldn't just stand by while his disciple suffered such a fate.
The two of them soon left. Led by Dai Mubai, they charged toward the Rose Hotel, full of righteous indignation.
By the time they hurried to the hotel, Lin Ye and his group had just walked through the front entrance on their way back.
Xiao Wu carried a pile of bags in both hands. They were all the clothes and shoes she had bought for herself.
Ever since Lin Ye captured her, Xiao Wu had known her days were numbered. That had led her to decide she might as well get her money's worth in advance.
As a result, she had gradually developed a habit of spending money lavishly.
Unlike Xiao Wu, Ice Empress and Lin Qiu'er were only interested in food.
Just look at Ice Empress now—her belly was slightly bulging. Anyone who didn't know better might have thought she was pregnant.
Lin Qiu'er was in the same state.
Looking at her round belly, Lin Ye smiled and said, "Why do I feel like you've gotten fatter?"
A couple was checking in at the front desk. When the girl spotted Lin Qiu'er, she instantly took a liking to her.
"Little brother, are you selling that pet of yours?"
Lin Ye smiled faintly. This wasn't the first time he'd been asked that.
"No. I'm keeping her so she can have babies. There's no way I'm selling her."
"Oh, I see. Then could you sell me one of her babies after she has them?" the girl asked.
Lin Ye laughed. "Then I definitely can't sell her."
The girl didn't understand. She was about to ask another question when two uninvited guests barged into the Rose Hotel.
"Dean, it's them." Dai Mubai pointed at the Ice Empress, who stood among the group.
So it was them.
Flender frowned. He'd been thinking of luring Lin Ye into Shrek Academy, but now his disciple had been beaten by him.
Before coming, Flender had planned to attack them outright and get his revenge.
But now he hesitated. The other side seemed far from ordinary, especially the White-robed Woman.
Still, his disciple had lost his manhood. It wouldn't do for Flender to sit back and do nothing.
"Were you the ones who beat up my disciple?" Flender asked, his face dark.
Lin Ye chuckled. "Yep, we're the ones who beat up that fat bastard. What about it?"
Seeing how arrogant they were even after beating someone, Flender's face darkened further. "My disciple may have offended you with his words, but..."
In short, he was basically saying: Sure, we were in the wrong, but couldn't you have been even one percent at fault?
Lin Ye laughed. He really did laugh.
"Pah! You're the ones who harassed people, and now that you've realized you can't win, you're the ones trying to reason your way out of it. You're damn shameless."
"How insolent!" Flender roared. Swish, swish, swish... seven Soul Rings rose beneath his feet.
"A Soul Saint!"
Gasps of disbelief rang out from the crowd of onlookers, as if they had just witnessed something impossible.
In truth, in a place like Suotuo City, even Soul Kings were rarely seen, let alone Soul Saints.
With his Soul Saint cultivation, Flender could already lord it over the city.
That was why Ma Hongjun had been able to act so arrogantly and still remain unscathed.
The hotel manager hurried over, but the moment he saw that the troublemaker was a Soul Saint, he immediately gave up on trying to mediate and slipped away even faster than he had come.
As if! That was a Soul Saint! One finger was enough to crush an ordinary person like him.
Flender activated his Martial Soul and charged forward. At the same time, his Fifth Soul Ring shone brightly...
But everything he did was doomed to be useless.
Because of what had happened between Lin Ye and Snow Empress, Ice Empress was already seething. Now Flender had shown up, making himself the perfect target for her anger.
With a casual grab, she seized Flender by the throat as he charged toward the group.
At that moment, Flender felt a surge of dread. His opponent was far stronger than he had imagined.
This is it!
The thought had barely crossed his mind when his entire body was flung into the air...
Ice Empress grabbed him and swung him around, then slammed him hard onto the marble floor.
Thud!
Before Flender could react, she started slamming him into the ground again and again.
After a few blows, Ice Empress released his throat.
Just as Flender breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was over, Ice Empress grabbed the back of his clothes and began a fresh round of beating.
Flender was swung into the air again, spun halfway around, and slammed hard onto the marble floor.
This time, his face made intimate contact with the marble. That blow was probably enough to leave him disfigured.
The agonizing pain in his face and body filled him with dread. He had just begun to react when she swung him into the air again.
He had to admit, beating someone this way felt great—at least Ice Empress thought so.
Next, she kept hold of Flender and slammed him into the ground again and again.
She moved so quickly that Flender's body seemed to blur.
Thud, thud, thud—
Flender's body kept crashing into the ground. His vision swam, and he felt as if every bone in him were about to fall apart.
