Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun

Wu Xing lingered in the restroom for another two minutes before returning to the private room at a leisurely pace.

"Wu Xing, why were you gone for so long?"

Seeing that it had taken Wu Xing quite a while to return, Dugu Yan asked with concern.

Wu Xing swept a glance toward Ning Rongrong's seat. She was already sitting upright in her chair, using her chopsticks to pick up a piece of green vegetable, eating daintily with a look of perfect obedience.

It was as if nothing had happened in the restroom just moments ago.

She truly lived up to the name Little Witch; she was a born actress.

"I washed my face and stayed a bit longer."

Wu Xing's expression remained unchanged as he sat back in his seat.

Dugu Yan didn't press further, and the other women didn't notice anything amiss, though Ye Lingling, watching Ning Rongrong and Wu Xing return one after the other, understood exactly what had transpired.

About ten minutes later, the group left the restaurant together.

"Brother Wu Xing, will you be coming to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena tomorrow?"

Reaching a fork in the road, seeing that they were about to part ways, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask.

"I will."

Wu Xing nodded. He could complete missions there as well, and as the Group Leader, he held a greater advantage: a 50% increase in points and a 50% discount in the Mall.

This was a rational use of his cheat, providing himself with benefits under the rules of his golden finger.

If it weren't for the rule prohibiting point transactions through reselling (which applied to both the Group Leader and group administrators), he likely would have had far more beauties in his group by now. Across the myriad worlds, any goddess he could recall would have already been pulled into the group.

He would have turned the scene into one where all the goddesses worked for him.

Now that he had a fixed place to stay, he naturally had to start improving his own strength.

Upon receiving his confirmation, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing all wore happy expressions.

However, just at that moment, two familiar figures emerged from a tavern on the other side of the intersection.

It was none other than Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.

What was most surprising was that both men wore lecherous grins, each with their arms wrapped around a woman.

Judging by their provocative swaying and heavy makeup, they were clearly women of the night.

The two men didn't notice the group at first, still busy boasting to the women in their arms.

"Boss Dai, we've had our drinks and picked up the girls, where to next?"

Ma Hongjun's face was flushed as he grinned.

"Fatty, what do you think?"

Dai Mubai's lips curled into a smirk as he gave the women's chests a firm squeeze, laughing, "To a hotel for a wild night, of course. Isn't that right, beauties?"

"Young Master Dai, you're so bad." The two women giggled, lightly pushing against Dai Mubai's chest before nestling back into his arms.

"Haha." Dai Mubai laughed heartily and kissed each of them on the cheek.

He had been stifled for too long; it had been nearly a month since he'd touched a woman.

After rushing for ten days from Suotuo City and dealing with the incident where Tang San was intercepted at Blue Tyrant Academy, Flender was finally taking over the academy and didn't have time to keep a close watch on them, so the two had long been unable to resist coming out to seek pleasure.

"Boss Dai, if Zhuqing finds out about this, won't she be angry?" Ma Hongjun asked.

"So what if she finds out?" Dai Mubai snorted, his hands wandering inappropriately over the two women in his arms again.

"She won't let me touch her, so why shouldn't I find someone else?"

"Boss is mighty." Ma Hongjun chuckled, the two sharing a knowing look.

Suddenly, thinking of something else, he continued, "Boss Dai, do you think that kid Oscar has lost his mind? He used to hang out with us all the time, but now he's acting all devoted."

"Don't even mention that guy. With that shrewish attitude of Ning Rongrong's, whoever marries her is in for a stroke of bad luck," Dai Mubai said with a look of disdain.

"Look at how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has spoiled her—nose in the air, eyes looking down on everyone. Only a simp like Oscar could put up with her."

Ma Hongjun nodded in immediate agreement.

"Boss Dai is right. That little wench Ning Rongrong just relies on her family background to look down on others."

"If she weren't born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I'd definitely make her taste the power of the Evil Fire Phoenix!"

Listening to their conversation, the expressions of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong darkened completely, and even Xiao Wu looked at the two with utter disgust.

Dugu Yan, however, found the corners of her mouth twitching as she struggled to suppress a laugh at Dai Mubai's comments about Ning Rongrong.

It was hilarious. This was a member of the Shrek team, painting Ning Rongrong, that little vixen, as completely worthless—it was truly satisfying to hear.

Watching Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun spouting such nonsense across the way, Wu Xing nearly died laughing.

This act of posturing had just run straight into a brick wall.

Seeming to sense that the atmosphere had shifted, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who were about to say more, lifted their gazes and saw the women not far away, their bodies instantly freezing.

"Young Master Dai, Young Master Ma, why have you stopped? Weren't you just saying how you were going to leave our sisters here with no armor left to wear?"

"Indeed, the hotel is just ahead. We sisters are looking forward to seeing what you're capable of."

The women in their arms had no idea what was happening, and seeing the two men stop, they continued to urge them forward.

At this moment, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had lost all their previous bravado; Dai Mubai, in particular, shoved the two women in his arms away.

Caught off guard by the sudden push, the two women stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Zhu... Zhuqing?"

"How are you all here!"

Seeing the figures of Zhuqing and the others clearly, Dai Mubai's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Every hair on his body stood on end, and his back was soaked in a cold sweat.

No matter how flowery his words had been earlier, it was all just boasting to impress the two women beside him and show off his virility.

But now that he was actually facing her, he withered instantly.

Ma Hongjun's face had also turned pale. Had the three women heard everything he had just said?

Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai coldly, saying nothing.

The anticipation that had driven her all the way from the Star Luo Empire to Shrek Academy had long since been worn away by repeated disappointments.

Hearing his earlier remarks, she only felt disgusted; she couldn't even be bothered to be angry.

"Zhuqing, listen to my explanation. It's not what you think; they are just friends."

"Right, just friends."

Dai Mubai no longer cared about his earlier posturing and hurriedly tugged at Ma Hongjun, signaling him to back him up.

Ma Hongjun had no choice but to nod repeatedly in agreement.

Seeing the two of them lying through their teeth, Ning Rongrong sneered, "Heh, friends? Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, do you think we are blind or deaf?"

"Who was it just now acting so mighty, saying it didn't matter if Zhuqing found out?"

"And who was it just now boasting about heading to the hotel for a wild night? Why are you cowering like a pug in front of Zhuqing now?"

Ning Rongrong's words were merciless. They had slandered her just moments ago; if she didn't strike back, would she even be herself?

Most importantly, she had only just confirmed her relationship with Brother Wu Xing, and to be backstabbed by her own companions—who claimed that whoever married her would be unlucky—made her panic. What if he got a bad impression and decided he didn't want her anymore?

"And you, Ma Hongjun, the taste of the Evil Fire Phoenix? You're nothing but a chicken; do you even deserve to speak?"
