Three Scoundrels in Action

(This chapter is dedicated to thanking everyone for your support. I hope you'll keep supporting me—having material to work with gives me motivation!)

To keep from suffocating,

Lin Huai turned his head, searching for an angle where he could breathe.

Qian Renxue's cheeks were like warm, smooth white jade, faintly flushed with a rosy hue.

When Hu Liena and Tian Yue saw Qian Renxue actually daring to let out a moan,

they pulled her away at once.

"We agreed you'd wait until Xiao Huai had completely cleared away the corruption before competing!"

Qian Renxue smoothed the wrinkles in her top and said sheepishly:

"I was just so grateful to Xiao Huai that I couldn't help myself."

Lin Huai interrupted them before their argument could make him suffer next.

"I've already accomplished what I came out here to do. Once we've dealt with Shrek, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"Heaven Dou City. I did conquer it, after all, so I want to go take a look!"

Qian Renxue proposed a place without a moment's hesitation.

Hu Liena and Tian Yue didn't have anywhere in particular they wanted to go.

Seeing that, Lin Huai made the decision for them.

"Good. Then we'll go to Heaven Dou City in seven days!"

"But we still need to train hard and meditate. We can't treat this like a vacation!"

With that, Lin Huai closed his eyes and began to meditate.

The three women pursed their lips,

and Qian Renxue even rubbed her ice pop against Lin Huai's leg.

Seeing that Lin Huai really intended to cultivate, the three of them sat down as well.

Inside Shrek Academy.

Yu Gang and Flender watched Tang San and the other four train.

Yu Gang was still muttering to himself:

"That doesn't make sense. He only has one Martial Soul?"

Seeing that his friend was still hung up on it, Flender thought of Tang San's unusual hand techniques and footwork.

"Gang, that Halo you mentioned in Lin Huai's hands—could it possibly be a Self-Created Soul Skill?"

Yu Gang was instantly enlightened.

Right! Even their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon had its own unique Dragon Transformation method.

That kid was the Holy Son of Spirit Hall. It made sense that he'd know a few Self-Created Soul Skills.

Thinking of the ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, Flender's heart ached.

He'd worked hard and saved money for half his life, and in five days it would all be gone!

Yu Gang glanced at Flender and immediately saw that he was mourning the loss of his money.

His eyes filled with disdain as he said coolly:

"After we disband, we'll train for a while, then head to Heaven Dou City. With our teaching staff and the talent of our students, why would we worry about not finding a school willing to take us in?"

Yu Gang brought out his theory of "borrowing a chicken to lay eggs" once more.

He successfully bamboozled Flender until he was completely turned around.

After training, Tang San and Xiao Wu began another night of lovey-dovey romance.

Ma Hongjun sidled up to Dai Mubai with a lecherous grin.

"Boss Dai, want to go blow off some steam?"

Dai Mubai figured that since Zhu Zhuqing wasn't around anyway, he might as well indulge himself for a few more days.

He looked at Oscar, who still hadn't recovered.

"Xiao Ao, you go. Think of it as leaving one big tree behind and embracing a whole forest."

"Let's all relax a little. I'm paying tonight!"

Ma Hongjun was delighted to hear that Dai Mubai was treating them.

Dai Mubai usually ate so well. Any one of those feasts was something Ma Hongjun could only dream of.

"Long live Boss Dai!"

Oscar immediately cast aside his gloom and asked expectantly:

"Boss Dai, is it one of those high-class places you usually go to?"

He hadn't managed to win Ning Rongrong over anyway, and he'd only had a crush on her.

Surely enjoying the present was more important!

Dai Mubai tossed his money pouch and gave a wicked smile.

"Of course. Would I really treat myself to the good stuff and leave you two at some brothel?"

Ma Hongjun grew even more excited and hurriedly said:

"Then thanks, Boss Dai! Let's hurry!"

"I've never been to such a high-class place before!"

The group set off for Suotuo City.

In one of Suotuo City's brightly lit, bustling districts,

the three of them arrived.

"Moon in the Clouds!"

"What a lovely name!"

Ma Hongjun looked up at the sign above the entrance, then gazed dreamily at the beautiful figures inside.

"These women waiting for us to help them are far better than the rare beauties in the brothels!"

Oscar stared at the figures inside the doorway and wiped away his drool.

He flattered Dai Mubai:

"Fatty, did you really think Boss Dai would shortchange us?"

Ma Hongjun slapped his chubby hand against his own face.

He wore a shameless grin.

"Look at this mouth of mine—it's got no sense! It deserves a beating!"

"I was just surprised Boss Dai usually gets to enjoy such good things!"

Dai Mubai was secretly pleased, but merely smiled faintly.

I spent my money bringing you two here because I wanted to hear you praise me, and see those ignorant looks on your faces.

He gave a slight cough to cover it up.

"All right, let's go in."

With that, he led the other two inside Moon in the Clouds.

"Well, well!"

"If it isn't Young Master Dai! It's been a while. And you've brought friends, too?"

Ma Hongjun saw the glamorous madam resting a hand on Dai Mubai's shoulder and instantly grew restless.

From the corner of her eye, she caught the other two looking awkward.

The madam understood that Dai Mubai had brought them to broaden their horizons.

She gave Dai Mubai a fawning smile.

"Young Master Dai, how would you like me to arrange things?"

Dai Mubai hadn't let off steam in quite some time. He strode off toward the second floor on his own and waved a hand.

"I'm going to see Xiao Ling'er first. Just arrange things for my two brothers. Put it all on my tab!"

The madam led the other two up to the second floor as well.

With a mischievous grin, she put them in the rooms beside Xiao Ling'er's.

"Gentlemen, the ladies in these two rooms are both absolute beauties!"

Neither of them said a word. They hurriedly opened the doors and went inside.

The madam gave a disdainful smile, turned around, and left.

The scene shifted to Ma Hongjun, who was making the quickest progress.

Used to the fast pace of business at brothels, Ma Hongjun came in ready to get straight to the point.

The room's occupant, guided by a firm sense of professional duty, told Ma Hongjun he didn't need to rush. There was still plenty of time.

While helping Ma Hongjun wash up, the room's occupant was surprised to discover

that Ma Hongjun's little treasure showed signs of ulceration.

Without even fixing their clothes, they rushed to the door and shouted:

"Mother Hong—"

"This man has a disease!"

The madam, who had just gone downstairs, hurried back and looked at Ma Hongjun, still in the shower.

After confirming he was sick, she called over several burly men, who threw Ma Hongjun out. He kept shouting that he wasn't sick.

The madam muttered:

"I never thought Young Master Dai would have friends like this..."

Before she could finish, the same cry rang out from Xiao Ling'er's room.

She went upstairs again and looked at Dai Mubai from the waist down.

"Young Master Dai, you know how it is. We don't do business with anyone who has a problem."

Dai Mubai's face darkened as if water might drip from it.

He said nothing more and simply left.

As he stepped outside, he ran straight into a pale, blubbery lump.

The lump crawled toward him and clung to his leg, wailing:

"Boss Dai! They said I'm sick!"

Dai Mubai kicked Ma Hongjun away, tossed him a piece of clothing, and roared:

"Shut up!"

"It's only syphilis. Just find a healing-type Soul Master to treat it. What are you howling for?"

Dai Mubai led Ma Hongjun toward the clinic run by the most famous Andrology Saint in Suotuo City.

Inside the room Oscar had chosen, he'd only vaguely heard brief screams from the other two rooms. After that, there'd been no further sounds.

He was still mocking Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun for being so quick.

After the madam outside confirmed that Oscar had no problem, she sent the occupants of Dai Mubai's and Ma Hongjun's rooms into Oscar's room as well.

She gave them instructions proudly:

"Even though Young Master Dai left because he's sick, he paid, so I have to deliver what he asked for!"

"Once you go in, make sure you follow the service routine properly. The guest has to feel he got his money's worth!"

That night,

Oscar went through so many rounds that he nearly died of exhaustion, while Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun nearly wished they were dead.
