Inside Shrek Academy, Oscar found Flender and said that he had broken through to level thirty and it was time to obtain his soul ring.
Seeing that Oscar had reached level thirty, Flender was very happy and arranged for Zhao Wuji to take all the students of Shrek Academy to the Star Dou Forest to help Oscar obtain his soul ring, while also taking the opportunity to gain some experience.
When Tang San heard that they were going to the Star Dou Forest to help Oscar obtain his soul ring, he was so overjoyed that he didn't know where he was; he knew that his external soul bone would be obtained during this very trip.
When Xiao Wu heard that they were going to the Star Dou Forest, her two rabbit ears flapped with excitement, because the Star Dou Forest was the home where she had lived for one hundred thousand years; it was filled with countless descendants of hers, as well as many friends who knew her true nature.
Her two loyal beastly sycophants, the Sky Azure Bull Python Daming and the Titan Giant Ape Erming, were waiting for her with bated breath.
Soon, the group from Shrek Academy packed their things and prepared to set off. Zhao Wuji, the vice dean of Shrek Academy, gave them a lecture:
"You bunch of little brats, the Star Dou Forest is full of dangers. You must follow orders in all actions and not act on your own."
"Did you all hear me?"
"Heard you."
Only Xiao Wu said indignantly, "Why call me a little brat? Sister Xiao Wu has lived for one hundred thousand years. In front of me, you're just a little blind bear."
"Xiao Wu, what are you muttering about over there?"
Tang San was right next to Xiao Wu and heard exactly what she was muttering, so he quickly said, "Teacher Zhao, Xiao Wu said she would definitely obey orders."
"No, I didn't hear what she said before, but I heard clearly that she said 'little blind bear' at the end."
"Xiao Wu, you said 'little blind bear', didn't you?"
"That's right, why call Sister Xiao Wu a little brat? Why not call her a little blind bear?"
At Shrek Academy, Tang San and Yu Xiaolong went along with everything Xiao Wu said, especially Yu Xiaolong, who called her Sister Xiao Wu all day long, spoiling the Rogue Rabbit's personality until she became even more unruly.
Therefore, now that Zhao Wuji asked, Xiao Wu naturally questioned him back, and even referred to herself as Sister Xiao Wu.
As for the others at Shrek Academy, they looked at Xiao Wu as if she were an idiot. Xiao Wu's rogue-like behavior had long since caused complaints among the others at Shrek Academy; only Tang San and Yu Xiaolong indulged her, while the others didn't even bother to pay her any mind.
As soon as Zhao Wuji heard Xiao Wu's words, his anger flared. He had always detested Xiao Wu's usual behavior, and now she not only dared to question him but also dared to call herself Sister Xiao Wu in front of him. Zhao Wuji slapped Xiao Wu across the face.
"Who do you think you are to question me? As a teacher at Shrek Academy and a Soul Saint, what's wrong with calling you a little brat?"
Saying this, Zhao Wuji slapped Xiao Wu again.
Xiao Wu saw stars and fell to the ground.
"Xiao Wu!" Seeing Xiao Wu knocked to the ground, Tang San instantly flew into a rage. Zhao Wuji, you dare to hurt my Xiao Wu, you have already paved your own path to death.
While thinking this, Tang San prepared to help Xiao Wu up, only to see that Yu Xiaolong had already lifted her, and Xiao Wu was now dizzy and leaning in Yu Xiaolong's arms.
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaolong, his eyes practically spitting fire. Yu Xiaolong, you dare to covet my Xiao Wu, you have already paved your own path to death.
No wonder the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was wiped out by the Martial Soul Hall; they deserved it.
At this moment, for the first time ever, Tang San felt that the Martial Soul Hall had done some things quite well.
Zhao Wuji didn't care whether Xiao Wu lived or died and immediately said, "Let's go."
Soon, Zhao Wuji led the group from Shrek Academy to an inn.
"We will rest here for the night."
Saying this, Zhao Wuji walked toward the second floor on his own and told the inn waiter:
"Prepare four dishes for me, two meat and two vegetable, and heat up a pot of wine to bring to my room."
Then he walked into his room without looking back.
"We've been walking all day, so let's get something to eat too," Dai Mubai said.
"Then why isn't Teacher Zhao eating with us?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's question, Oscar immediately leaned in and replied, "Our academy's rule is that teachers and students eat separately; no one takes advantage of anyone else."
"Exactly, exactly. I like the academy this way; everything is clear and straightforward, no pretense," Ma Hongjun also chimed in from the side.
Ning Rongrong nodded, seemingly understanding.
"Dead fatty, stop talking so much. You're the biggest foodie here, hurry up and order the food," Dai Mubai said to Ma Hongjun.
"Boss Dai, ordering is no problem, but as the leader of Shrek Academy, shouldn't you be treating us to this meal?" Ma Hongjun said with a lecherous grin.
"Look at that look on your face."
"Fine, I'll treat. A meal is nothing, and it can be considered a welcome for Tang San, Xiaolong, Zhuqing, and Rongrong."
Dai Mubai spoke of welcoming the new students of Shrek Academy, naturally omitting Xiao Wu.
Yu Xiaolong came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Zhuqing was his fiancée, and Tang San was a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and hidden weapons; Dai Mubai was more than willing to welcome them.
But what was Xiao Wu? Other than having Innate Full Soul Power, she was nothing. She caused trouble everywhere, and after causing trouble, she remained defiant and arrogant, acting as if she were entitled to everything.
Pah, what a piece of work.
When Xiao Wu heard that Dai Mubai was treating everyone but didn't mention her name, she wouldn't have it.
Her rabbit eyes widened, her two rabbit ears stood up, and she roared at Dai Mubai:
"Dai Mubai, what do you mean by this? Why didn't you mention Sister Xiao Wu's name when you're treating everyone?"
"I'm the one paying for this meal, so I'll invite whoever I want. None of your business."
"If you're paying, then why aren't you inviting Sister Xiao Wu?"
Dai Mubai was so amused by Xiao Wu's words that he actually laughed out of anger.
"Who do you think you are? Why should I invite you?"
"How dare you say Sister Xiao Wu isn't a person? You're looking for death!"
"What, you little Rogue Rabbit, are you trying to start a fight?"
"Sister Xiao Wu is going to beat you up!"
Dai Mubai was also pushed to his limit by Xiao Wu and immediately summoned his Martial Soul.
Tang San saw that if a fight broke out, Xiao Wu would definitely be at a disadvantage, so he hurriedly grabbed Dai Mubai.
Yu Xiaolong saw the situation and couldn't bear to see the Shrek Seven Devils—his idols—fighting amongst themselves, so he grabbed Xiao Wu.
When Tang San saw Yu Xiaolong holding Xiao Wu back, he immediately regretted it. He had intended to play favorites by holding Dai Mubai back to prevent him from attacking, but he hadn't expected Yu Xiaolong to seize the opportunity.
As for the others from Shrek Academy, they remained indifferent, as they had long found Xiao Wu to be an eyesore and were secretly hoping Dai Mubai would give her a beating.
Seeing Tang San and Yu Xiaolong stepping in to mediate, Dai Mubai decided to give them—and more importantly, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family behind Yu Xiaolong—some face, and let the matter drop.
Soon, the eight members of Shrek Academy sat around a table, ready to eat, but the atmosphere was far from harmonious.
