I Want to Fight Two! Come at Me Together!

"???"

Jiang Yi wore a look of utter confusion; which monster was this now?

However, the moment he saw Bei Bei standing nearby, he understood the identity of this red-faced man: Xu Sanshi.

"Sister Nannan, who is this guy?"

Far from letting go of Jiang Nannan, Jiang Yi tilted his head and leaned into her embrace with practiced ease.

A top-tier simp, ranking just behind a nice guy.

"I don't know him."

Jiang Nannan shook her head, not even sparing Xu Sanshi a glance.

She gently held Jiang Yi, completely indifferent to the surrounding gazes, though a faint flush of pink crept across her cold, pretty face.

"Oh? So he's a simp."

Jiang Yi looked thoughtful, his eyes filled with pity as he gazed at Xu Sanshi.

"You motherf—!"

Xu Sanshi was instantly enraged, his eyes turning bloodshot as he watched Jiang Yi rubbing against his goddess.

The key point was—

Jiang Nannan didn't refuse!

How is this possible!!!

He had been chasing her for three years and hadn't even touched her hand, yet this kid was flaunting it right in front of him.

Xu Sanshi felt his nose sting, his already furious mood now compounded by a sense of humiliation.

"Get lost!"

He roared, his large hand reaching toward Jiang Yi in Jiang Nannan's arms, but the next moment, two cold shouts rang out simultaneously.

"Xu Sanshi! How dare you!"

Tang Ya stepped forward instantly, blocking in front of Jiang Yi as she flicked a golden light from her fingertips, aiming straight for Xu Sanshi's face.

On the other side, Jiang Nannan also furrowed her brows, shielding Jiang Yi behind her like a mother rabbit protecting her young.

"Dragon Whisker Needle?!"

Seeing the golden light clearly, Xu Sanshi's expression changed drastically; he hurriedly retracted his hand and twisted his body to dodge.

Thwip!

With a dull thud, the golden light struck the ground, burying itself halfway in and leaving only a half-inch of the golden needle exposed.

"Tang Ya, have you lost your mind!"

Xu Sanshi's face darkened, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

This Tang Sect Hidden Weapon was notoriously vicious, specifically designed to break through soul power; if he had been hit, he would have lost a chunk of flesh at the very least.

"Hmph! Jiang Yi is my person; it's not your place to bully him."

Tang Ya stood with her hands on her hips, staring back at Xu Sanshi without a hint of fear, exuding a natural, overbearing confidence.

She had been annoyed by this tag-along for days, and since this was a perfect chance to boost her favorability with Jiang Yi, there was no reason not to act.

"Tang Ya, don't think I'm afraid of you! If it weren't for Bei Bei, you wouldn't even be fit to carry my shoes!"

Consumed by rage, Xu Sanshi pointed at Tang Ya's nose and cursed.

"Get out of the way! Or I'll beat you up too!"

Three soul rings rose beneath his feet—two yellow and one purple—as his entire body expanded, and a shield appeared in his hands.

The shield was pitch black and covered in tortoise patterns, roughly one and a half meters in diameter, blocking most of Xu Sanshi's body and leaving only his head visible.

"As if I'm afraid of you!"

Tang Ya let out a delicate huff and released her own Martial Soul, though she was clearly a cut below Xu Sanshi in terms of momentum.

However, the next moment, a tall, slender figure suddenly blocked the space between them, crackling with lightning.

"You are not allowed to hurt Xiao Ya!"

Bei Bei spread his arms, shielding Tang Ya.

"Bei Bei, you motherf... can you have some self-respect?"

Xu Sanshi was so angry he nearly choked, his shield trembling in his grip.

How could someone be such a simp?

Whose side are you even on? If we just beat that kid into submission first, wouldn't Tang Ya and Nannan naturally belong to us?

Bei Bei remained unmoved, focused solely on protecting Tang Ya.

The commotion here quickly drew a large crowd of onlookers.

"Holy crap, aren't these Shrek students? Why are they fighting?"

"Isn't that Senior Xu Sanshi with the shield? I heard he's been chasing her for three years, and she hasn't even spared him a glance..."

"Why isn't this guy making a move? All talk and no action—what a coward. No wonder the girl isn't interested in him!"

"..."

The whispers nearby left Xu Sanshi red-faced and fuming, his Black Tortoise Shield held high as if he were being roasted over a fire.

But he knew he couldn't beat both Bei Bei and the other guy, and with Jiang Nannan standing behind them, he couldn't bring himself to strike.

He took a deep breath, swallowed his rage, and pointed a finger at Jiang Yi, who was hiding in the back, gritting his teeth.

"You pretty boy! Can you stop hiding behind a woman? If you've got guts, come to the Soul Fighting Zone and have a real fight with me!"

"Heh—"

Jiang Yi poked his head out from Jiang Nannan's embrace and let out a scoff. Why should he be embarrassed about being a kept man when he had the talent for it?

"You could find a woman to hide behind, too! Is it that you don't want to? Or is it... that nobody wants you?"

"You—!!!"

Xu Sanshi was choked with rage.

Damn it, how could someone be this shameless! That idiot Bei Bei!

"Trash!"

Xu Sanshi snorted coldly. Seeing the crowd growing, he turned to leave. He didn't want to be treated like a clown here.

Besides, this kid could hide for a moment, but not for a lifetime. There would be plenty of time later!

However, just as he turned—

"Wait."

Jiang Yi's voice came again, causing Xu Sanshi to pause.

"If it'll make you give up on Sister Nannan, I suppose I could fight you. But..."

Jiang Yi rose from Jiang Nannan's arms, straightened his collar, and looked at the turning Xu Sanshi with a smile.

"Thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins! Do you dare to bet?"

He had just obtained his third soul ring and was looking for an opportunity to showcase his talent to the higher-ups at Shrek.

He had only been provoking him earlier, but he wouldn't turn down an opportunity that landed right in his lap.

"Xiao Yi?"

Jiang Nannan tugged on his sleeve.

But Jiang Yi simply patted her hand, returning a confident look.

"Don't worry, Sister Nannan! I won't lose! Besides, I've grown up now; I can protect you."

With that, he said no more, turned around, and stood before Jiang Nannan, leaving her with a broad, sturdy back.

Jiang Nannan looked at that back for a long moment, finally smiled softly, and silently stepped behind him.

If they lost, they lost. At worst, the two of them would just work together to pay off the debt.

"Thirty thousand?"

Xu Sanshi frowned.

Although he was the young master of the Black Tortoise Sect, he couldn't produce that much cash on such short notice.

"What? You were shouting so loudly just a moment ago—are you just a paper tiger?"

Jiang Yi chuckled, his tone dripping with undisguised mockery.

"I'll take that bet!"

Provoked into a flush, Xu Sanshi flipped his palm, and three cyan jade bottles appeared in his hand.

"I don't have that much cash, but these are three Mystic Water Pills. They're worth enough. But do you have that much?"

He lifted his chin high, trying to regain his dignity, but then he shifted his focus back to Jiang Yi.

"However, I don't need your money. But if you lose, you are forbidden from getting close to Nannan... and Tang Ya!"

Xu Sanshi glanced at Bei Bei nearby and, after a moment's thought, added Tang Ya to the list.

"Not necessary! I won't use my own woman as a wager. Here is thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins."

Jiang Yi shook his head, rejecting Xu Sanshi's demand, and with a wave of his hand, a small pile of gold coins appeared on the ground.

"Eh? I count too..."

Tang Ya blinked. Hearing the words "my own woman," her heart blossomed with joy; success seemed to be right before her eyes.

As for Jiang Nannan, her gaze drifted, lost in her own thoughts.

"Hmph! Then let's go!"

Xu Sanshi secretly thought it a pity.

But as long as he crushed this kid, he would definitely make Nannan see who the real man was!

"Wait!"

Jiang Yi suddenly shook his head again.

"What is it now?"

Xu Sanshi frowned impatiently.

"One of you isn't enough."

Jiang Yi reached out, pointing unhurriedly at the stunned Bei Bei standing to the side, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

"I want to fight both of you."
