Shrek Prison Reunion

Suotuo City Judgment Hall branch.

Today was a good day. The Shrek problem that had been giving the branch a headache was finally resolved.

Shrek had done a fine job keeping secrets. No one had reported them for all these years, until something went wrong this year.

Perhaps even Flender had never imagined that the people from the academy would all end up gathered at the Judgment Hall.

Dai Mubai, who had originally vanished without a trace, was right here in this branch.

Dai Mubai had spent an entire day serving as a power bank in the Judgment Hall. He was exhausted beyond measure and dearly missed the soft bed at the inn, as well as everyone at the academy.

Now that he finally had a chance to rest, he looked at the terrible food provided by the Judgment Hall and actually found himself missing Oscar's big sausages.

"I wonder what Xiao Ao and Fatty are doing. This Judgment Hall really isn't a place for humans," Dai Mubai sighed.

"I miss Xiao Wu too. I wonder if she's enrolled at Shrek Academy," Tang San said, infected by Dai Mubai's mood.

"You're enrolling at Shrek too?"

"Of course. Why else would I have come all the way to Suotuo City? You're going to Shrek too?"

Perhaps it was because they had come to know each other through fighting, or perhaps because they shared the same misery. They were no longer as tense and hostile as when they had first met.

"What Shrek am I going to? I'm from Shrek."

"If I'd known you were going to Shrek, I would've just given you that room. Then neither of us would have had to stay in a place like this."

Dai Mubai regretted it so much that he slapped his thigh.

"Looks like Shrek really has some skill, to have a student like you."

"Of course. Our Shrek only accepts monsters, not ordinary people."

"You're a monster too. Once we get out, I'll introduce you directly to Shrek. I've got some influence at Shrek." Dai Mubai patted his chest in assurance.

"Then thank you." Tang San did not refuse. He was afraid that Shrek's enrollment would be over by the time he got out.

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside, and a group of people was brought in.

When Dai Mubai saw who they were, his eyes widened.

"Headmaster, Teacher Zhao, why are you here too?"

"Mubai..."

"Boss Dai."

"Why are you here too?"

The group stared at one another, none of them understanding what was going on.

After the unexpected reunion, the group ended up staying together.

"Teachers, how did you get in here?" Dai Mubai eagerly asked, his face practically glowing.

Being imprisoned alone and being imprisoned with a group of people were completely different feelings.

"It's a long story."

Flender briefly explained what had happened, including how he had sold the academy.

"So that's what happened. Does that mean our academy is gone? Where are we supposed to live after we get out?"

Dai Mubai had never imagined that after merely entering the Judgment Hall, his academy would be gone.

Tang San was dumbfounded as well.

He had not even entered this Shrek yet. How had it already disappeared?

"Where will we live? I don't know either."

"Now I'm truly broke. I don't even have the means to reopen the academy."

Flender had never been this poor in his life! The academy he had worked so hard for his entire life was gone too.

"What about you, Teacher Zhao? Xiao Ao, Fatty, what are the two of you planning to do?"

"I don't know either. To be honest, I'm rather reluctant to part with the academy." Zhao Wuji suddenly lost all sense of direction. The other teachers were the same. They had come to Shrek to retire in peace.

"Boss Dai, I don't know what to do either. How about I follow you?"

"Yeah, Xiao Ao and I will both follow Boss Dai."

The two of them had even less idea what to do. They had neither families nor an academy.

Dai Mubai thought for a moment, then spoke to Flender.

"Headmaster, how about reopening Shrek? Our academy can't just collapse like this."

"I want to, too, but I don't have any money." Flender could only spread his hands.

"I'll lend it to you. When I left home, I brought one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. I still have fifty thousand on me. I can lend you thirty thousand. That should be about enough."

"Mubai, do you really mean that?" Flender's eyes lit up as he grabbed Dai Mubai's hem.

"Really!"

"Over these past two years, I've grown attached to Shrek and all of you. I can't let it just fall apart like this."

At that moment, Dai Mubai seemed to shine in everyone's eyes.

"That's wonderful, Mubai. From now on, you're Shrek's benefactor."

"Boss Dai, you're so handsome. I've decided to marry Xiao Ao to you."

The other teachers also began thanking him all at once. Their Soul Power might have been high, but they truly did not have much money.

Tang San looked at Dai Mubai with some surprise. He had not expected him to do this.

"All right, all right, don't get too excited. Next, we should think about where to build the academy. The old place has already been sold, so we can't go back."

"As for Xiao Ao, leave him to you, Fatty, to put out your fire."

"Xiao Ao, since Boss Dai said so, how about you just submit to me? I don't mind."

Ma Hongjun bumped Oscar with his shoulder.

"Dead Fatty, get the hell away from me!" Oscar shuddered in disgust.

Tang San watched all this unfold and became even more interested in Shrek.

After a round of discussion, they finally chose Shrek's new location.

The new site was directly across from the old Shrek grounds.

The reason was simple. They had stayed there for a long time and were very familiar with everything around it.

It was absolutely not because Flender thought that place was cheap.

"By the way, this brother has excellent talent. He's even two years younger than me, yet he's already reached rank 29. So I'd like to recommend that he join Shrek directly."

Dai Mubai pulled Tang San, who was beside him, forward and introduced him.

"Sure. That talent can already be called monstrous. And if I'm not mistaken, the belt around your waist should have been given to you by Yu Xiaogang?"

Flender had noticed the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges on Tang San's waist.

"Yes, Teacher was the one who sent me here."

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhuqing woke Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, Master said you're to clean the entire academy, then reclaim the wasteland to the north and plant some vegetables."

"If you don't know how, ask Xiao Xi's mother. Master also said not to slack off. He can see everything you do, and if you slack off, there'll be no breakfast."

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing left the room.

Ning Rongrong woke from her sleep and immediately felt that her life had become bleak and hopeless.

Those were jobs meant for lower-class people.

And now she was being made to do such lowly work.

If she could, how she wished she had never come to this place and never taken that bastard as her master.

But it was too late for everything now.

She was certain that man would do exactly as he said.

With no other choice, Ning Rongrong could only get moving so she would not go hungry.

Fortunately, her body had nearly recovered. She was no longer sore all over like yesterday.

Thinking of this, she found it somewhat strange. Given her physical condition, she should not have recovered so quickly.

She did not dwell on it. In any case, it was a good thing for her.

Looking utterly lifeless, she walked out of her room and saw only an empty bowl sitting on the table.

It seemed that hunger had defeated pride last night.
