Shrek Disciples, Crooked from the Top Down

Heaven Dou Empire.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

After Lin Yuan returned to the academy, Dream Machine and the other two senior members summoned him to the Teaching Committee. Some disciples had heard that they had defeated a Title Douluo from Spirit Hall when they returned.

Dream Machine asked with an odd expression, "Teacher Lin, did you really defeat a Title Douluo from Spirit Hall?"

"Mm." Lin Yuan did not hide it. Sooner or later, he would have had to tell them about this. Since Dream Machine and the other two already knew, there was no need to conceal it.

"While Ling Ling was absorbing her spirit ring, we happened to run into Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo from Spirit Hall. After a minor argument, we started fighting."

Lin Yuan took a sip of tea and spoke as if nothing had happened.

Seeing how calm and composed Teacher Lin was, Dream Machine and the other two exchanged glances. They understood that Spirit Hall would never let this go.

Bai Baoshan patted his protruding belly and said gravely, "Fortunately, Teacher Lin did not kill the two Title Douluo this time. Otherwise, with Spirit Hall's vengeful nature, they definitely would not have spared us."

"Yes. Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo are Bibi Dong's favored men. Their defeat at your hands will only make Bibi Dong aware of the threat you pose. She may even send Title Douluo here to kill you."

Zhi Lin's expression was equally grave. This incident had indeed become far too serious, but fortunately, Lin Yuan had not killed Spirit Hall's Golden Generation or the two Title Douluo.

Otherwise, Bibi Dong would certainly not have spared Lin Yuan. It might even have directly sparked a war. After all, Hu Liena was Bibi Dong's most beloved disciple; Bibi Dong had practically treated Hu Liena as her own daughter.

Lin Yuan nodded with a faint smile. "Don't worry, three committee members. I know what I'm doing. Nothing will happen."

Dream Machine sat in his chair and said, "Since Teacher Lin has said so, let us leave the matter at that. But Teacher Lin should avoid leaving Heaven Dou City for the time being. I fear an ambush by Spirit Hall experts."

"Other than Title Douluo, who can threaten me? No one else is qualified to be my opponent."

Lin Yuan stood, brushed the dust from his shoulder, and bowed to the three committee members before turning to leave the Teaching Committee hall.

Watching Teacher Lin's departing back, Bai Baoshan said worriedly, "Dream Machine, do you think we made a mistake by having Teacher Lin lead the team? What if Spirit Hall comes after us over this?"

"We'll take things one step at a time. Teacher Lin's strength is right there for all to see. Just as he said, aside from those top-tier Title Douluo, almost no one can stand against him."

Dream Machine had watched Lin Yuan grow up and knew that his strength was beyond question. Across all of Douluo Continent, he could be considered an outstanding powerhouse.

Given enough time, breaking through to level one hundred should have been easy for him. The question was whether he would have that chance.

After leaving the Teaching Committee hall, Lin Yuan did not return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Instead, he went into Heaven Dou City to buy some necessities.

Brilliant sunlight spilled over the countless green-tiled roofs and red walls. Stalls lined both sides of the bustling streets, while carriages rolled past and pedestrians flowed endlessly by.

Looking at the street before him, which felt like it belonged to another lifetime, Lin Yuan sighed deeply. Without realizing it, he had already spent twenty years in this world. Looking back, it all felt like a dream.

Lin Yuan shook his head and pulled himself back to reality. He then went to the nearest tavern in the city, bought several jars of fine wine, and only then headed contentedly back toward the academy.

Just then, several extremely familiar voices reached Lin Yuan's ears. He felt as if he had heard them somewhere before.

"I'm saying, Boss Dai, didn't we just go out to blow off some steam yesterday? Why are we looking again today? And if Zhuqing sees you, she'll beat you to death."

The fat Ma Hongjun asked with a puzzled expression.

"You think I want to?" The yellow-haired Dai Mubai looked miserable as he said pitifully, "I'm in my prime. My needs are huge every day. And you know Zhuqing's figure. She walks around in front of me all day. How am I supposed to hold back?"

Dai Mubai pointed below his waist, his face reddening. "I discussed it with Zhuqing before and wanted to give it a try, but she refused. I had no choice but to come out and look elsewhere."

"If I'd known, I would've brought those twin sisters over from Suotuo City back then. Those two women really knew what they were doing."

Ma Hongjun nodded subconsciously. He had clearly experienced the same thing, and Boss Dai had personally taken him there. That night, they had been utterly wild—wild to an outrageous degree.

By the time they came out, the twin sisters had gained several pounds.

Ma Hongjun licked his lips lewdly. "Boss Dai, now that you mention it, I'm getting restless too. How about we send a carrier pigeon to have the twin sisters come to Heaven Dou City? With our wealth, supporting them won't be a problem."

Ma Hongjun's words struck Dai Mubai like a revelation. He immediately widened his eyes. "Right! Why didn't I think of that before? Fatty, you've got a good head on your shoulders. Once they get here, let Oscar join in too. We'll have a great time."

"Hey, I'm not interested in that." Oscar immediately refused from the side. "I only like Rongrong. I may have gone along with you twice before, but I have no interest in that kind of woman."

"What are you scared of?"

Ma Hongjun glared at him. "No one's asking you to pay, and no one's asking you to take responsibility. What the hell are you worried about?"

For soul masters like them, if they took a fancy to some commoner's daughter, a little money was all it took to obtain her chastity, and they did not need to take responsibility afterward.

Dai Mubai had once gotten a girl pregnant. Later, to prevent his royal bloodline from being passed on, he directly had the child aborted and gave the girl a considerable sum of money.

That was precisely why such things had long become commonplace among soul masters, practically an everyday occurrence.

Oscar pushed up his glasses and said timidly, "B-but if Rongrong and Zhuqing find out, won't they... blame us?"

"See? You're scared again, aren't you?" Dai Mubai put an arm around Oscar's shoulders and said with a knowing smile, "If they see us, we can just make up another excuse to brush it off."

"Besides, if you don't taste it, how can you become a real man? Men have to be hard!"
