Shrek VS Xue Tianyu!

The pain receded as quickly as a tide.

Dugu Yan gasped for air, her head snapping upward.

She found herself face-to-face with the peerless, handsome features of Xue Tianyu, mere inches away.

"Th-thank you."

Dugu Yan whispered her gratitude.

Gazing at that flawless, handsome face, she felt as if her heart had skipped a beat.

A powerful sense of palpitation spread through her heart, and a flush of red involuntarily crept onto her cheeks.

Xue Tianyu released his grip, his tone indifferent.

"The serpent venom within you has already seeped into your bone marrow."

"If it isn't resolved, you won't live past thirty."

Dugu Yan turned pale with shock, her eyes widening.

"How do you know that?"

This was a secret that even her grandfather, Dugu Bo, had never easily disclosed to outsiders.

"I naturally have my own methods."

Xue Tianyu replied bluntly, his hands tucked into his pockets.

"I want to meet your grandfather, Dugu Bo."

Still reeling from the shock, Dugu Yan nodded instinctively.

"Alright, I will take you."

This youth was far too mysterious; perhaps he truly had a way to resolve the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom.

With Dugu Yan taken care of, Xue Tianyu turned and returned to the Skywater Academy camp.

"Bing'er, I need to leave the academy for a few days to visit the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo."

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er immediately knitted her delicate brows.

Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, and the others were even more visibly worried.

"Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo with a perverse personality; wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go find him?"

At this moment, Shui Xinrou, the Dean of Skywater Academy, who had been standing silently to the side, walked over.

She cast a complex look toward Qian Renxue in the distance.

"Tianyu, tell the Dean the truth."

"Have you been recruited by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Shui Xinrou was genuinely worried; Skywater Academy had finally produced such a heaven-defying prodigy.

If he were poached by the Royal Academy under the guise of this exchange, Skywater Academy would suffer a massive loss.

Xue Tianyu saw through the thoughts of Shui Xinrou and the girls at a glance.

He let out a scoff, his voice not loud, yet clear enough for everyone present to hear.

"Rest assured, Dean."

"A mere Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not something I hold in high regard."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd gasped in unison.

Shui Bing'er and the others widened their beautiful eyes, filled with astonishment.

What exactly was Tianyu's mysterious identity?

To be arrogant to such a degree!

One had to remember that the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, was standing less than ten meters away!

To belittle the Royal Academy in front of the Crown Prince—his nerve was truly immense.

Not far away, Qian Renxue heard every word clearly.

The folding fan in her hand paused slightly, yet surprisingly, she did not retort, choosing instead to remain silent.

She could only be certain of one thing now.

The background of this youth named Xue Tianyu was definitely not simple.

The power behind him might be so vast that even the Heaven Dou Imperial Family was not held in his eyes.

After finishing his arrangements, Xue Tianyu did not linger.

He brought along the Ice Emperor, who had been resting in the backyard.

Following that, he set off with the Imperial Fighting Team and Qian Renxue's party, heading directly toward Heaven Dou City.

Several luxurious carriages sped along the main road.

Half a day later, the wide and bustling streets of Heaven Dou City unfolded before everyone's eyes.

Xue Tianyu stepped down from the carriage and walked side-by-side with Dugu Yan down the street.

His snow-white robes and otherworldly appearance instantly triggered waves of discussion among the passersby.

"Look! That young man is so incredibly handsome!"

"Good heavens, in all my years, this is the first time I've seen someone so dashing!"

"That temperament—it's definitely not something an ordinary family could cultivate."

The young women and wives along the street were all staring wide-eyed, whispering to one another with hearts in their eyes.

Just on the other side of the street.

The Shrek Seven Devils, who were strolling about, were also drawn by the commotion.

Xiao Wu was holding a skewer of candied haws in her hand.

The moment she turned her head and saw Xue Tianyu, the candied haws nearly slipped from her grasp.

She stared blankly at that white-robed figure, her small face instantly flushing bright red.

Her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

He really is so handsome!

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also noticed Xue Tianyu across the street.

Ning Rongrong tugged at the corner of Zhu Zhuqing's sleeve, whispering in a low voice.

"Zhuqing, look at that person over there."

"He's too good-looking, isn't he? He has even more presence than those young noble masters."

Although Zhu Zhuqing was cold by nature, she was currently staring fixedly in that direction, nodding slightly.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, who were walking in front, felt extremely displeased upon seeing the girls' reactions.

All the limelight had been stolen by some pretty boy who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Ma Hongjun clenched his fists and let out a cold snort.

"What kind of thing is he, daring to be so flashy in Heaven Dou City?"

Dai Mubai's expression was also gloomy as he stepped forward, ready to confront him.

"Let's go, let's go meet him!"

"Watch me beat his face into a pig's head."

Tang San was quick-witted and grabbed Dai Mubai's arm, shaking his head at the group.

"Mubai, don't cause trouble."

"This is Heaven Dou City. We don't know his background, so let's not create unnecessary complications."

Restrained by Tang San's advice, Dai Mubai had no choice but to force himself to stop.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar huddled together, muttering unhappily.

"Tch, what's so great about being handsome?"

"Look at that delicate skin and tender flesh; he's probably just a useless straw bag."

"Exactly, he's likely just a pretty boy who relies on his face to get by."

On this side of the street.

Dugu Yan's gaze swept casually through the crowd and happened to catch sight of the Shrek group.

When she saw Tang San, a surge of intense repulsion and disgust instantly welled up in her eyes.

She turned her head and let out a cold snort toward Xue Tianyu.

"Do you see that person in blue over there?"

"His name is Tang San."

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, her face full of disdain.

"This person is extremely hypocritical; he says one thing to your face and another behind your back."

"I hate him to death. I really want my grandfather to step in and teach him a lesson."

Hearing this, Xue Tianyu followed her gaze and looked over.

Tang San.

He absolutely could not let Tang San have the chance to come into contact with Dugu Bo.

"For a Title Douluo to do something like that would be too beneath him."

Xue Tianyu said casually.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up as an idea struck her.

She grabbed Xue Tianyu's sleeve, her tone filled with a hint of anticipation.

"Tianyu, your strength is so formidable."

"Why don't you step in and teach that hypocrite Tang San a lesson for me?"

"As long as you help me vent this frustration, I'll take you to see my grandfather immediately!"

Xue Tianyu had not originally intended to make a move just yet.

However, with his perception far exceeding that of an ordinary person, every word of the whispering between Ma Hongjun and Oscar over at Shrek drifted clearly into his ears.

Mere ants, yet they dared to gossip about him behind his back.

A trace of displeasure welled up in Xue Tianyu's heart.

He turned to look at Dugu Yan and nodded in direct agreement.

"Fine."

At this moment.

Across the street, Ma Hongjun was still chattering away, spraying saliva as he spoke to Oscar.

"A pretty boy like that? I could kick ten of them away with one foot."

"He might be able to fool young girls with that face, but if it really came to a fight, he'd definitely be begging for mercy on his knees."

Ma Hongjun grew more animated as he spoke, his face full of disdain.

The very instant his voice fell.

A cold, casual voice exploded beside his ear without the slightest warning.

"A pretty boy—are you talking about me?"

Ma Hongjun and the others shuddered, nearly jumping out of their skins in fright.

They whipped their heads around.

Without them noticing when, the youth in white who had been across the street was now standing silently less than half a meter in front of them!

His speed was so fast that even Tang San's Purple Demon Eye hadn't been able to capture a single afterimage.

Although Ma Hongjun was drenched in a cold sweat from the shock, he relied on the strength of numbers from Shrek and stiffened his neck to put up a front.

He puffed out his round belly and glared at Xue Tianyu with a look of intense annoyance.

"I am talking about you, so what?"
