Smashing Flender's Rip-off Shop

After handling the affairs of the Clear Sky Sect, Qian Renyu calculated the dates and realized the start of the semester at Shrek Academy was approaching, so he prepared to set off for Shrek Academy to see the notorious Shrek Seven Devils.

Qian Renyu set off with Qianjun Douluo, Golden Spear Douluo, Silver Blade Douluo, as well as Zhang Zhuan and Yang He, and soon arrived at Suotuo City.

As they passed by a shop, they saw the shopkeeper lying on a lounge chair. Looking at the man—with a large hooked nose, a chin that jutted out like a shoehorn, and a pair of glasses—he had the classic face of a profiteer. This person was none other than the dean of Shrek Academy, the famous sycophant, the Four-Eyed Owl Flender.

"Boss, how much for this Board Crystal?" Qian Renyu asked, picking up the same Board Crystal that Tang San had taken in the original timeline.

"One hundred Gold Soul Coins."

"Fine, I'll take it."

"It's five hundred Gold Soul Coins now."

"I'll take it for five hundred Gold Soul Coins as well."

"It's one thousand Gold Soul Coins now."

"Your prices are too ridiculous; isn't this just a rip-off shop?"

"It is a rip-off shop, so what are you going to do about it?" As he spoke, Flender rose from his lounge chair and released his seven soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black. "Kid, I run a rip-off shop. You got a problem with that?"

"I hope your backbone is as stiff as your mouth," Qian Renyu said slowly.

At this moment, Golden Spear Douluo appeared, with nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—circling his body.

"Ti, Title Douluo," Flender said in a panic.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Why aren't you acting so tough now?" Qian Renyu said to Flender.

"You flatter me, young master."

"I offended you just now, please forgive me, young master."

"Forgiveness is very simple. Smash your own shop with your own hands."

"Ah, this." Flender was unhappy the moment he heard this. As a famous profiteer on the continent, he was like a Pixiu—only taking in and never letting out. Asking him to smash his own shop was more painful than killing him.

At this point, Qian Renyu pointed at Golden Spear Douluo and said, "Look at the nine soul rings on him and tell me: are you going to smash it or not?"

"I'll smash it."

Saying this, Flender began to smash his shop. His heart bled with every blow, but the key was that he didn't dare to hold back—didn't he see the other Title Douluo standing there, eyeing him like a predator?

"Young master, I've finished smashing it. What do you think?"

"You smashed it quite well. Now, renovate your shop, and then smash it all over again. Then we'll call it even."

"This," Flender wanted to refuse, but after seeing the nine soul rings on Golden Spear Douluo, he decisively renovated the small shop.

"Since it's all renovated, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and smash it."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Crash, bang, clatter.

Soon, Flender had finished smashing it again.

"Young master, I've finished smashing it. What do you think?"

"Hmm, not bad. You smashed it quite thoroughly."

"Uncle Golden Spear, don't use your soul power. Give him a beating, and then we'll leave," Qian Renyu said to Golden Spear Douluo.

Soon, Flender got to enjoy the treatment usually reserved for Zhao Wuji ahead of schedule.

On the other side, a man and a woman also arrived in Suotuo City. The man had an ordinary appearance and blue hair. The woman was somewhat attractive, walking with a bouncy, restless gait, with a pair of rabbit ears on her head.

These two, if we can call them human, were Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Third Brother, where are we going?"

"Teacher said we should go to Shrek Academy to report for enrollment."

"However, we need to stop by a small shop first."

The place Tang San wanted to go was exactly Flender's shop. As a reincarnated God King, he naturally knew that there was Hair Crystal in Flender's shop, which was his reliance for his fierce battle against Zhao Wuji.

However, when he brought Xiao Wu to Flender's rip-off shop, he only saw a scene of utter devastation.

"Third Brother, why are we here in these ruins?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Let's go find a place to stay first."

The place to stay was naturally the Rose Hotel, where he would befriend the Evil Eye White Tiger, Dai Mubai.

Qian Renyu had arrived at the Rose Hotel early. He walked to the front desk, intending to book every room except for the one Dai Mubai would take.

But just then, a young girl who also wanted a room wouldn't have it. "Hey, hey, hey! Why do you need so many rooms for yourself? Give the best room to this young lady, otherwise, heh heh."

As she spoke, the young girl shook her fist.

Qian Renyu looked at the girl. Judging by her appearance and age, it had to be Ning Rongrong. He hadn't expected her to stay at the Rose Hotel as well.

Originally, Qian Renyu had booked the rooms just to watch the conflict between Tang San and Dai Mubai; giving one up wouldn't have mattered, but given her attitude, why should he indulge her?

"Why should I give the best room to you?"

"How dare you speak to this young lady like that? Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are."

"A toad yawning—you've got a massive ego!"

"Let me tell you, I am the eldest young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Well? Scared now? Hand over the room obediently, or you'll regret it."

"Besides, it's not like I'm not paying you. I have plenty of money."

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong tossed a bag of Gold Soul Coins onto Qian Renyu.

"Zhang Zhuan, Yang He, slap her twice, then throw her out."

"Yes, young master."

"You dare!"

Slap, slap.

"Ouch! You actually dared!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't let you get away with this."

"Ahhh!"

Then, Ning Rongrong was thrown out of the Rose Hotel.

In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she might be a high and mighty young lady, but outside, the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wasn't enough to scare everyone.

Before long, Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived at the Rose Hotel. Tang San stepped forward and said to the receptionist, "We'd like two rooms."

"I'm sorry, there is only one room left."

Tang San thought to himself, Just as it was in my previous life; this receptionist really knows how to stir things up. Now that he and Xiao Wu were both twelve, their bodies had developed quite a bit. One room, heh heh.

Hearing the receptionist's words, before Tang San could say anything, Xiao Wu said quite naturally, "One room is fine. We used to sleep under the same covers anyway, didn't we?" As she spoke, Xiao Wu pulled Tang San toward the room.

Just then, Dai Mubai walked in with a pair of twin sisters in his arms. Upon learning that his room had been taken, Dai Mubai angrily said to the receptionist, "Don't you know the last room at the Rose Hotel is reserved for me? Get your manager here."

The manager arrived quickly. After understanding what had happened, he kept fawning over Dai Mubai, "I'm sorry, Young Master Dai. This receptionist is new and doesn't know the rules. I'll resolve this for you right now."

With that, the manager walked up to Tang San and Xiao Wu and said, "I'm sorry, you two. You cannot stay in your room; that is Young Master Dai's room. Please find somewhere else to stay. I will cover the costs."

"On what grounds!" Xiao Wu's two rabbit ears stood straight up.

"We were clearly here first. Why should we give it to someone else?"

"Brother San, we aren't giving it up."

"I'm sorry, manager. You see, my sister said we aren't giving it up."

"This..."

Just as the manager was in a difficult spot, Dai Mubai walked over with the twin sisters and said, "Who are you people, daring to fight over a room with me?"

Xiao Wu said, "We're fighting over it with you, so what?"

"Very good. It's been a long time since I've seen anyone dare to speak to me like that."

"You're seeing it today. Enough talk. Big Sister Xiao Wu is going to beat you until even your own mother wouldn't recognize you."

"For a girl, your mouth is quite vicious. It seems I'll have to teach you a lesson."

"Originally, Big Sister Xiao Wu was just going to beat you up, but now, I've decided that after I'm done, you'll have to kowtow to me three times."

Xiao Wu wanted to say more, but Tang San stopped her because he knew that the current Dai Mubai was a Soul Elder, and Xiao Wu couldn't beat him.

"Brother San, if you won't let me fight, then you handle him properly. You must beat him until even his own parents wouldn't recognize him."

Tang San thought, Since my Xiao Wu has spoken, I'll just have to wrong Dai Mubai a little.
