Refunds

Three days passed in the blink of an eye...

Even Ah Yin had returned to Star Dou, and Xiao Lan had become Qiuqiu's playmate.

Bai Tu strolled leisurely along a path in Suotuo City, a stick of grilled gluten dangling from his mouth.

His attention was fixed on the Chat Group.

Level: 2 (99.3%)

It looked like he would level up again today.

Leveling up meant an extra invitation for a newcomer. It also meant Bai Tu would gain another measure of control over the Chat Group.

Thinking as he walked, Bai Tu followed the path out of Suotuo City.

A shabby little village appeared before him.

Quite a crowd had gathered in front of it, and the scene was chaotic!

Had something happened?

Bai Tu casually pushed through the onlookers. With ease, without so much as brushing against anyone, he reached the very front.

In the middle of the crowd stood an arrogant blond boy. A White Tiger Martial Soul rose behind him!

"Hey! If you want your money back, fine. Beat me first!"

Dai Mubai looked disdainful!

"You're nothing but a bunch of bandits!"

The boy standing before Dai Mubai flushed bright red, at a loss for words.

Snap!

A crisp snap of the fingers rang out. Dai Mubai and the boy, along with all the onlookers, were drawn in at once!

"I'm telling you! Anyone who wants a refund will have their Soul Power raised to level 50 through Propagation, then afterward they'll compensate me with one level of their original Soul Power~"

Bai Tu walked over with a grin and patted the red-faced boy on the shoulder.

"Kid, do you want your money back?"

Bai Tu narrowed his eyes, his gentle voice beguiling the boy's newly awakened heart.

The young boy looked at Bai Tu's flawless face and gentle smile, and instantly lost his head!

How could he possibly disappoint such a handsome big brother?

"I want my money back!"

Lu Renjia's expression was resolute. In the next instant, his level shot straight up to 50!

"It's temporary. You'll have to pay it back~"

Bai Tu smiled and stepped back two paces, leaving the stage to him and Dai Mubai.

Lu Renjia was ecstatic. Bai Tu had said he'd have to repay one level of Soul Power, but he was only level 18 to begin with. Losing one level was no big deal! He had to get his five Gold Soul Coins back!

Dai Mubai's face darkened abruptly as he stared at Bai Tu, who had retreated.

Li Yusong, the admissions teacher, frowned deeply as well. He couldn't gauge Bai Tu's strength and had no idea how powerful this being with bizarre abilities was.

Otherwise, he would have already brought his staff down on Bai Tu with a "He who dares not cause trouble is a coward!"

What? The other guy might be strong? Then I'd rather be a coward!

"Big brother, I still only have one Soul Ring. I'm worried..."

Lu Renjia suddenly turned to look at Bai Tu.

Bai Tu furrowed his brows, finding the request rather disgusting. He'd helped him purely for the fun of it.

His demands were already starting to put Bai Tu off.

"Anyone else want their Gold Soul Coins back?"

"Time's short. I'll make it a group deal and let you all get your money back together."

Bai Tu ignored Lu Renjia's pleading and addressed the crowd watching the fight.

Soon, six people gritted their teeth and stepped forward.

"That's all?"

Bai Tu asked.

"Big brother! There's me too!"

Ning Rongrong stepped out from behind Dai Mubai with a cheeky grin.

"You!"

Dai Mubai's eyes widened, and he even felt a murderous urge toward Ning Rongrong!

"Anyone else? Last chance!"

Bai Tu asked with a final smile, his eyes meeting Zhu Zhuqing's uncertain gaze.

Zhu Zhuqing had a vague sense that this might be the only chance she would ever get!

"I..."

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Dai Mubai's face had gone black as coal. If his father saw him now, he might wonder whether his mother had been raising a black slave.

Snap!

Bai Tu snapped his fingers, and a streak of light flew into Dai Mubai's body!

"Dai Mubai can propagate Dai Mubai~"

Bai Tu grinned and increased the dose!

Before long, Dai Mubai's belly began to swell!

"Ahhhhh!"

Dai Mubai screamed. His Soul Power kept dropping, and a sharp, wrenching pain tore through his belly!

"Sir! That's enough! We'll refund these people's Gold Soul Coins!"

Li Yusong could no longer sit still. He stood up and stared at Bai Tu.

Seeing Dai Mubai in such agony and remembering what Bai Tu had just said, he felt a chill rise in his heart!

"Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai can't give birth, and he's already in so much pain. Why not help him out with a C-section?"

Bai Tu couldn't be bothered with the old fossil. Instead, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile tugging at his lips.

"You... how?"

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted. He actually knew who she and Dai Mubai were!

Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled slightly. She knew Bai Tu meant for her to put an end to it.

But she had no idea what Bai Tu intended to do next. What exactly did he plan to do with her?

"Zhu Zhuqing, would you rather spend your whole life as someone else's appendage, or be yourself for a single moment?"

Bai Tu asked.

Zhu Zhuqing had been all right in the early stages, but by the middle and later stages, she had become a mere accessory.

Or perhaps, living in this feudal, warped era, Zhu Zhuqing had already begun to embrace some of the ideas of a new age. But after Dai Mubai put on his act later on, she had ultimately chosen to accept her fate.

She needed someone to give her a push!

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists and fell silent.

"Heh..."

Bai Tu shook his head in disappointment.

"Big brother! Then do you know Rongrong?"

Ning Rongrong sounded a little jealous. She'd been here first, after all!

She'd even slyly slipped her own name into her question.

"Ahhhhh!"

Dai Mubai's continued screams interrupted Ning Rongrong's thoughts. She shot him an irritated look.

Li Yusong's expression darkened. He stepped forward, channeled Soul Power into his hand, and gave a light wave!

"Ah!"

Dai Mubai screamed again. A huge hole had opened in his belly!

Inside was another Dai Mubai, curled up with an equally swollen belly!

The instant this scene appeared!

Lu Renjia, Tang Hao, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Li Yusong, and the students and parents waiting for refunds all had their pupils contract. A bone-deep chill surged through their hearts!

"One, two..."

"Three..."

Bai Tu counted the number of Dai Mubais...

"I don't want the money anymore! I don't want the money anymore!"

A little girl cried out in terror and stumbled backward. Then she darted into the crowd like a madwoman.

Bai Tu glanced at her but paid her no mind.

"In that case, there are five Dai Mubais left..."

Bai Tu held up his fingers and worked out the answer.

"Enough! We'll refund the money! We'll refund everyone! We'll refund every single person!"

Li Yusong fell to his knees, his mental defenses utterly shattered by Bai Tu's methods!

"We'll refund you ten times over! Please, let Dai Mubai go!"

"Tch~"

Bai Tu casually withdrew the excess Propagation Power from Dai Mubai's body.

"Just these three, then. This young master is kind-hearted and can't stand to see people killed~"

Bai Tu shrugged and accepted Li Yusong's offer.

"By the way, since these Dai Mubais were propagated, the three of them are exactly alike."

"Body, memories, personality."

Bai Tu spoke softly, his gaze playfully fixed on Zhu Zhuqing.

"Come with me, or see how three tigers ravage a little cat?"

Zhu Zhuqing's heart turned to ash.
