Dai Mubai Was Scared Witless-Should They Find the Author First?

On the luxurious bed in the room lay a disorderly pile of... men?!

A group of incredibly burly men, with two of their legs still draped over him.

There was also an excruciating and deeply wrong pain beneath him.

When he looked down, he felt like dying!

"You bastards! Get off! Get off me!"

He flew into a rage. His Soul Power erupted, violently throwing everyone on the bed to the floor.

There was a popping sound, like something breaking out of its shell.

His entire body went limp, leaving him without the slightest bit of strength.

"Young Master Dai, you weren't like this last night!"

"Mmm~ You were calling us sweethearts last night. How heartless!"

The several burly men who had woken up looked aggrieved.

Dai Mubai had not acted like this last night. He had even said he loved them most!

Yet the moment he woke up, he turned his back on them?

"Get out, you damned freaks! Get out!"

Dai Mubai roared, circulating his Soul Power once more and scaring the burly men into scrambling out of the room.

"Young Master Dai... went a little too wild."

"Maybe he'd played with too many women and wanted to try something different?"

"Phew~ Young people really do have all sorts of tricks. Too bad the door wasn't shut properly."

The people outside the door were still gossiping, and Dai Mubai ground his teeth in hatred.

Those damned bastards were mocking him, weren't they?

"Get the hell out of here!"

He abruptly stood, wrapping the blanket around himself. He wanted nothing more than to slaughter every one of those people right then.

He hurried over to shut the door, then tried to sit on the sofa. But the pain beneath him made sitting impossible, forcing him to stand again.

He tried hard to recall what had happened last night.

Everything had seemed normal.

He had brought a beauty to the Rose Hotel.

Then they had done what they were supposed to do.

But why had he woken up to this?

Wait, where was that beauty from last night?

"The wine! It has to be the wine!"

Dai Mubai suddenly remembered the crucial detail.

His alcohol tolerance was usually quite good, yet after just a few bottles last night, he had felt like he was floating. Something had clearly been wrong.

Someone must have tampered with the wine.

But who could it have been?

He suspected the hotel manager.

But that made no sense.

He was a distinguished guest of the Rose Hotel. There was no reason for the other party to set him up.

So who exactly was framing him?

"Damn it, don't let me find out who you are, or I'll slaughter you all!"

Dai Mubai's eyes had turned red, while his face was pale and completely bloodless.

After playing with women for so many years, this was the first time he had been played—and by so many burly men.

This would probably spread throughout Suotuo City before long.

How was he supposed to show his face here afterward? How was he supposed to face anyone at Shrek Academy?

Should he silence everyone outside?

Dai Mubai's thoughts grew increasingly extreme.

But in the end, he abandoned that idea.

Because it was unrealistic.

There were too many people outside. He could not kill them all.

And if he really did kill them, Spirit Hall in Suotuo City would never let him off.

When Soul Masters committed evil, Spirit Hall would investigate.

Even if he revealed that he was the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, so what?

If he openly murdered people and caused such terrible repercussions, Spirit Hall would never simply stand by!

Then there was the exposure of this scandal.

Spirit Hall would not even need to act. The Star Luo Empire's imperial family would probably eliminate him themselves.

So he absolutely could not kill anyone, or his life would be ruined.

"Ah!!!"

Unable to think of any good solution, Dai Mubai roared in despair.

All he could do was weakly pound the wall.

Outside the Rose Hotel, Ning Rongrong and the other two waited by the street.

As they watched people emerge from the hotel, some of them were discussing Dai Mubai.

"Hehe~ Next, let's work a little harder and spread this around."

Xiao Wu and the other girl sighed inwardly.

No wonder she was called the Little Witch.

She really had a knack for tormenting people.

With Dai Mubai's personality, if this truly spread, he would probably wish he were dead.

"Consider this collecting a little interest first. We can deal with him properly later. Tang San won't reach Shrek Academy anytime soon. There are still more than two months."

Ning Rongrong estimated that Tang San still had quite a while before arriving at Shrek Academy.

Were they supposed to stay here and wait around the entire time?

Obviously not!

"How about we go find the Storybook's author first?"

Xiao Wu made a suggestion. She still had quite an obsession with finding the author.

After thinking about it, Ning Rongrong felt that made sense.

"But before we leave, let's visit Flender's shop and buy that thing!"

Thinking about Tang San's story, the Dragon Whisker Needle was a decent Hidden Weapon. They needed to buy it first so Tang San could not obtain it.

"Right, I remember Dugu Yan is one of the Book Friends, isn't she? Tang San and Xiao Wu's story briefly mentioned that there are good things in Sunset Forest, though Dugu Bo apparently doesn't know about them."

Ning Rongrong's mind raced.

Immortal Herbs were extremely rare. They could even evolve her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

She had to find a way to get them.

However, that place was Dugu Bo's territory.

If they went there directly, they would probably suffer for it.

This was when they needed help.

And the best helper would be Dugu Yan!

They could determine who someone was from their Book Friend name.

As long as they had appeared in the Storybook, they could more or less be identified.

"Forget it. Those are Poison Douluo's things. Besides, we have the Storybook comments and have already received plenty of good rewards."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

Immortal Herbs were rare?

They truly were rare!

But they could receive rewards simply by commenting.

She herself had already received an Immortal Herb!

Although it was not one mentioned in the Storybook, the improvement it gave her had still been enormous.

Besides, the Storybook's rewards came in all kinds of forms. At the moment, they did not necessarily need Immortal Herbs to improve themselves.

"Fine, then we'll look for the author first. Once the time is right, we'll come back and deal with that scumbag."

Ning Rongrong was brimming with excitement. After dealing with Dai Mubai, she felt utterly refreshed.

Before long, the three of them arrived at Flender's shop.

Knowing he was a profiteer, Ning Rongrong used a diversionary tactic and successfully got the item. She then left with the other two.

"Where should we go to find the author?"

Xiao Wu scratched her head. She had been unable to figure out where to search all this time.

She did not have the slightest clue.

"Hmm... The Storybook's author should be an incredibly powerful expert. They might be somewhere like Spirit City. How about we go to Spirit City and try our luck... No, Spirit City has Titled Douluo. It wouldn't be safe for Xiao Wu to go there."

Ning Rongrong quickly dismissed the thought.

They were allies now. She could not do something that would put an ally in danger.

But Xiao Wu shook her head and said, "It's fine. Titled Douluo can't see through my identity now."

"And Pope Bibi Dong won't hunt me down."

Hearing that, Ning Rongrong hesitated. "Then... should we go to Spirit City?"

"Yes, let's take a look at Spirit City first. Besides, we might even be able to join forces with Bibi Dong. She definitely wants to find the author too."

Xiao Wu was certain.

The Storybook's author was terrifyingly capable and could foresee the future.

Pope Bibi Dong would surely not let such a person slip away!
