Douluo: Poisonous Tongue, Loves Telling the Truth

Dai Mubai was completely captivated by Zhuqing's fiery figure, thinking only of ending the battle as quickly as possible to win the beauty over.

And that pink-haired girl on the side—although her figure was nothing to write home about, her face was passable. When the time came, he would have them serve him in turns...

As he fantasized about the erotic scenes to come, he reached out his tiger claws directly toward Zhuqing.

"Watch out, Zhuqing, dodge!"

Ning Rongrong had been observing the battle from behind, and seeing Dai Mubai make his move, she tried to warn Zhuqing to get out of the way.

"Trying to run?"

Dai Mubai gave a wicked smile. Before his opponent could retreat from the battlefield, he precisely grabbed her arm.

With her wrist clamped tightly, Zhuqing was like prey caught in a trap, her struggles proving entirely futile.

[Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Intense Light Wave]

Seemingly wanting to make her feel despair, a scorching white ball of light slowly gathered energy in Dai Mubai's mouth, ready to be released the moment it reached a critical threshold.

Watching the light ball about to erupt, Zhuqing turned her head away and squeezed her eyes shut.

The tear at the corner of her eye evaporated from the intense heat before it could even roll down her cheek.

At this moment, she truly felt a sense of despair.

The person she had broken through countless obstacles and traveled thousands of miles to find was right in front of her...

"No!"

Terrified by the scene, Ning Rongrong couldn't bear to watch; she covered her eyes with both hands and let out a scream.

Xiao Wu wanted to step forward to help, but was blocked by Tang San.

"Brother, she's in danger!"

"Don't meddle in other people's business!"

Xiao Wu could be unreasonable at times, but her heart was always kind.

Facing Tang San's cold attitude at this moment, a hint of resentment grew in her heart.

Watching the light wave about to descend, Zhuqing had already anticipated her impending fate.

Yet, the unwillingness and anger in her heart made her turn to look at Dai Mubai. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at him, her face full of humiliation and indignation.

Just as the energy was about to pour out, a pure aura of darkness appeared out of thin air, instantly shrouding everyone present.

A black figure appeared between the two out of nowhere, followed by a powerful, overbearing pressure that knocked everyone on the scene to the ground.

"What is going on?"

A cold voice rang out, laced with anger that made those who heard it feel a sense of fear.

The person who arrived was Xia Ran, who had come to watch the commotion. The system had alerted him that Zhuqing's disgust toward Dai Mubai had skyrocketed; he had assumed they were just arguing, not that they had actually started fighting.

If he had arrived a moment later, that White Tiger Intense Light Wave from Dai Mubai would likely have blasted directly into Zhuqing's face. He really was ruthless enough to do it.

The people on the ground looked up to see who had arrived, their faces showing traces of anger, yet none dared to utter a sound.

The soul pressure from just a moment ago had been directed primarily at Dai Mubai, and the guy had been knocked unconscious instantly.

"Oscar! Speak!"

"It... it was Boss Dai. He took a fancy to Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, and then..."

He didn't dare to continue, as Xia Ran usually didn't think much of Dai Mubai, and the two hadn't exchanged more than a few words in over half a year.

"You didn't tell him these were new students?"

Faced with the interrogation, Oscar shrank his neck like a quail, remaining silent.

By now, Xia Ran understood the general situation.

He didn't need to guess; that lecherous tiger must have seen how pretty they were and had crooked thoughts.

Neither of the two girls were pushovers, especially Ning Rongrong. In the original story, she had clashed with Dai Mubai, which showed she already looked down on this guy.

"Xia Ran, kill this bastard for me."

Chapter 7 Tang Hao

Ning Rongrong stood up from the aftermath and, seeing Xia Ran, her expression was extremely agitated.

As if she had suddenly found a pillar of support, she no longer cared about hiding her identity. Having suffered such a great grievance, she was determined to make him pay the price.

"I am the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master. As long as you help me kill him, you will be an honored guest of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from now on."

"I'll give you one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins—no! Five hundred thousand..."

But Xia Ran didn't want to listen to this little demoness ramble on. She wasn't even a character in his system tasks, so he couldn't be bothered to waste time with her.

"Enough, pipe down."

"If you want to kill someone, go find people from your own sect. I don't take jobs like this."

"Why?"

Ignoring the agitated Ning Rongrong, Xia Ran turned his gaze toward Zhuqing on the side.

"Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine."

The young girl's reply remained simple and crisp, but her eyes flickered with avoidance.

After briefly probing everyone's condition with his spiritual power, he discovered that only Dai Mubai had fainted, while the others were mostly unharmed.

"Carry Dai Mubai back."

"Give these people a few sausages to eat."

"You three girls, pick a wooden cabin as your dormitory, and Xiao Wu, go take care of the wounded."

"And you, go pick a dormitory yourself."

Suddenly mentioned, Tang San felt his heart tighten; not daring to look the other person in the eye, he turned around and slunk off to pick a dormitory.

The massive crisis that had just unfolded was resolved the moment that figure appeared, leaving everyone feeling as if it were all unreal.

Xia Ran was truly impressed by these people; he had only been gone for a short while, and they had already caused such a huge commotion.

The key was that those old fogies didn't even come out to manage things, leaving him to save the day in the end.

If he had arrived even a moment later, Zhu Zhuqing might have been disfigured.

"I have a big sausage!"

While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Oscar chanted his lewd soul incantation.

Even Tang San was stunned, looking at the other person with a strange expression.

"Don't worry, my soul skill just has a weird incantation, but the effects are very good~"

A dark brown sausage was handed to Ning Rongrong, and Oscar scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.

She was the first person he offered it to; he couldn't help it, he liked her, after all.

"Ah!!!"

Ning Rongrong's expression turned to terror, as if she had seen something truly horrific, and she let out a scream even louder than before, kicking out at Oscar's lower regions.

"Pfft~ Ahhh!!!"

His outstretched hand clenched in pain, and the sausage was crushed to pieces by Oscar on the spot.

The screams of a man and a woman echoed, annoying Xia Ran to no end.

"Sigh~ I'm truly impressed..."

Xia Ran felt exhausted; in less than half a day, more had happened than in the past six months.

He didn't want to deal with it anymore; why was the path to becoming stronger always filled with so many idiots!

Watching the scene descend into chaos, he turned and left, heading off to find those old fogies.

Watching Xia Ran's retreating back, a thousand thoughts raced through Zhu Zhuqing's mind, and she wore a complex expression.

He is so strong! And he's clearly around the same age as me.

If my fiancé were him...

[Zhu Zhuqing's level of resentment toward Dai Mubai: 99%]

[System Reward: Dark Domain evolution -- Void Domain]

[Void Domain: Consumes soul power to expand the domain. Dark attribute amplification 100%, spiritual power amplification 100%, enemy dark attribute resistance reduced by 100%. Within the domain, one can devour the enemy's soul power to replenish oneself.]

The system prompt sounded, and Xia Ran, with his back to the crowd, revealed a smile.

"It didn't even hit 100%; as expected of the protagonist group, they really are hard to break apart!"

At night, Xia Ran lay on his bed, contemplating the system and the future.

There were only a few known female powerhouses on the Douluo Continent, and almost all of them had troubled love lives; he figured that if he made contact with them, it would also trigger corresponding system tasks.

What surprised him was that in less than a day of contact between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, the resentment level had already maxed out; that final 1% would likely be gone in just a few days.

He wondered what kind of reward he would get in the end; it would be best if it were a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone...

Just as he was fantasizing, a booming voice exploded in his sea of consciousness, and even with the significant spiritual power boost provided by his Mysterious Cat martial soul, it nearly caused him to collapse.

"Back mountain!"

Those two short words felt like thin needles piercing into his brain.

His hearing had completely failed, leaving only an annoying buzzing sound echoing in his ears.

He hurriedly activated his Void Domain, enveloping the rooms of Flender and Zhao Wuji, using the two of them as charging banks.

Sealing his sea of consciousness with soul power, he combed through his spiritual power bit by bit, and only after ten minutes or so did Xia Ran's condition begin to improve.

"What's going on? What are you making such a fuss about in the middle of the night!"
