Xiao Wu: Why Am I Involved Again?

[If not for others intervening at the time, Dai Mubai would have truly laid hands on Zhu Zhuqing.]

(Tang San: Who are these "others"? We might as well speak plainly.)

[Tsk tsk, he didn't learn much else at Shrek Academy, but our Young Master Dai has certainly mastered the art of bullying the weak and fearing the strong to perfection.]

[Dai Mubai: I am timid and submissive when facing Dai Weisi, but when facing Zhu Zhuqing, I throw heavy punches!]

"Scum, trash!"

Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled with rage. What was this supposed to be? Did he think she was a pushover?

Even though that was indeed how things played out, she was still furious!

She had escaped and gone to find him, only to be met with such a result?

She must have been blind; such trash deserved to die, as living was simply a waste of air.

[Of course, our Young Master Dai isn't entirely unbearable; there are times when he shows some "courage."]

[For instance, when facing Ning Rongrong, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...]

Ning Rongrong: ???

What is the meaning of this?

Is this young lady easier to provoke than Dai Weisi?

Are you joking? Do you understand the weight of having two Titled Douluo in one sect?

The other women were also puzzled upon seeing this.

They already had a rough idea of what kind of person Dai Mubai was: cowardly, selfish, and cut from the same cloth as Yu Xiaogang.

He dared to confront Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

One must know, in terms of status, Ning Rongrong was not a bit inferior to Dai Weisi.

In fact, when Su Ye first saw this part of the plot, he also thought Dai Mubai was quite impressive.

Only later did he realize that wasn't the case at all.

This guy was completely swayed by his emotions at the time, and on top of that, he didn't know Ning Rongrong's specific background.

Otherwise, even if he were given ten times the courage, he wouldn't have dared to treat Ning Rongrong like that.

After all, unlike Dai Mubai, a prince unloved by his elders, Ning Rongrong was the apple of the eye for two Titled Douluo.

[Having been frustrated by Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai was already burning with anger. As luck would have it, Ning Rongrong approached him at that moment and delivered a critical hit with her words.]

[Saying something about him not even being able to handle a woman, these words instantly ignited Dai Mubai's fury. His "kingly aura" leaked out, and he immediately sent Ning Rongrong flying several meters away.]

[And that wasn't all; our Young Master Dai even made a bold declaration: "Others may fear your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I do not. If you dare to provoke me again, I will do that to you and then kill you!"]

[Listen to that—how gutsy!]

[So what if she is the apple of the eye for Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo? So what if she is the next sect leader in Ning Fengzhi's heart? Our Young Master Dai doesn't care about any of that.]

"Bang!"

Ning Rongrong slammed the table in anger, her small face flushed red.

"Damn it, how dare he treat this young lady like this?"

"Not afraid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Fine, very fine. This young lady would like to see where a cast-off prince like you gets his confidence."

Ning Rongrong was incensed; she had never suffered such grievances since she was a child.

In fact, let alone grievances, no one had ever even spoken a harsh word to her.

In her eyes, Dai Mubai's actions were practically courting death.

She had decided: she would go to that so-called Shrek Academy tomorrow.

In any case, Su Ye would be going there later, so it wouldn't hurt for her to go a bit early.

She wanted to see exactly what kind of person this Dai Mubai was.

"Hmph, I hope you can remain this tough when the time comes, otherwise it will be too boring."

While Ning Rongrong began brainstorming a hundred ways to torment Dai Mubai, the other women were similarly thinking that if they ever encountered this piece of scum, they would definitely make him pay.

As for storming Shrek Academy to tear the scumbag apart?

Sorry, they weren't that bored.

In other words, a mere Dai Mubai wasn't worth them making such a big fuss.

[This counts as one of the few highlight moments for Young Master Dai. I have to say, daring to threaten the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect like that—he certainly has guts!]

"Hmph, guts? Don't worry, he won't have them for long."

A cold sneer curled the corner of Ning Rongrong's mouth. As a little witch, she was always the one bullying others; when had she ever been bullied?

She was determined to finish Dai Mubai off; even Jesus couldn't save him.

[However, the topic today isn't Young Master Dai; let's continue by talking about that little kitten, Zhu Zhuqing.]

[Truth be told, although Zhu Zhuqing is a member of the main cast, her screen time and character design are not particularly outstanding.]

[Within the Shrek team, Tang San is the absolute core, and Xiao Wu is the core of Tang San. As for the others... honestly, they are dispensable.]

[Among them, Zhu Zhuqing has the least presence; it seems her only purpose is to coordinate with Dai Mubai to execute their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.]

[Living in such an environment, compounded by the occasional brainwashing from Yu Xiaogang and the others, as time passed, Zhu Zhuqing eventually became nothing more than an accessory.]

[There is a significant disconnect from the Zhu Zhuqing at the beginning—the one full of resilience who fought hard against her fate—as if she had become a completely different person.]

[She could already sit at the same table as Xiao Wu.]

Xiao Wu: ??? What does this have to do with me?

[Right, I just remembered something: in the original work, it seems Zhu Zhuqing also liked Tang San. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, some descriptions did indeed lean in that direction.]

[If you look at it that way, sitting at the same table as Xiao Wu really isn't a problem.]

Xiao Wu: ???

Zhu Zhuqing: ???

No, are you serious?

Are you sure you aren't insulting people?

The corner of Zhu Zhuqing's eye twitched; she never expected that she could be linked to Tang San in that regard.

[Of course, there are still obvious differences between the two.]

[If nothing else, the drive and ambition Zhu Zhuqing possesses is something Xiao Wu couldn't catch up to even if she rode a horse.]

[Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Zhu Zhuqing is the youngest and has the worst talent, yet her soul power was never the lowest.]

[When they first met, Zhu Zhuqing was only two levels lower than Xiao Wu. You have to realize that Xiao Wu had Innate Full Soul Power and was quite a bit older than Zhu Zhuqing, yet she was only two levels higher. This shows just how little Xiao Wu cared about cultivation.]

[And that's despite her carrying a blood feud.]

[As for Zhu Zhuqing, the original work didn't explicitly state her innate soul power, but it likely wasn't too high, as the upper limit of the Hell Spirit Cat martial soul is set right there.]

[If I'm not mistaken, it should be innate level seven.]

[Twelve years old, or perhaps not even twelve yet, and she already had twenty-seven levels of soul power. Regardless of anything else, this point about Zhu Zhuqing is worth affirming.]

Seeing Su Ye's praise for Zhu Zhuqing, the women felt uncharacteristically awkward.

Compared to Zhu Zhuqing, they had indeed been slack.

Of course, the most awkward among them was Xiao Wu.

Right now, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Good heavens, what have I been doing all these years?

Damn it, it's all Tang San's fault!

Sister Xiao Wu naturally wouldn't think she was in the wrong; after a moment of shame, she predictably chose to shift the blame.

Tang San: ???
