Refund

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

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

Bai Tu walked leisurely alone along a small path in Suotuo City, a grilled gluten skewer dangling from his mouth.

His attention was focused on the Chat Group.

Level: 2 (99.3%)

It looked like he would be able to level up again today.

A level increase meant an additional invitation for a newcomer, which signified that Bai Tu's control over the Chat Group would deepen by another fraction.

While lost in thought, Bai Tu followed the path until he reached the outskirts of Suotuo City.

A dilapidated little village appeared before him.

A large crowd had gathered in front of the village, and the scene was quite chaotic!

It seemed as though something had happened.

Bai Tu casually pushed through the onlookers, reaching the front with ease, not a single person brushing against him.

In the center of the crowd stood a golden-haired, arrogant youth, a White Tiger Martial Soul rising behind him!

"Hey! If you want a refund, you can have it—if you can beat me!"

Dai Mubai's face was filled with disdain.

"You are nothing but bandits!"

The youth in front of Dai Mubai flushed red, struggling to get the words out.

Snap!

A crisp sound of fingers snapping suddenly rang out, and whether it was Dai Mubai, the youth, or the surrounding spectators, everyone's attention was instantly captivated!

"I say! For those who want a refund, your soul power shall be propagated to level 50, and afterwards, you will compensate with one level of your original soul power~"

Bai Tu walked forward with a grin and reached out to pat the red-faced youth on the shoulder.

"Little friend, do you want a refund?"

Bai Tu narrowed his eyes, his gentle tone bewitching the youth's heart.

Looking at Bai Tu's flawless face and the gentle smile he wore, the young boy was instantly head over heels!

How could he ever let such a handsome big brother down?

"I want a refund!"

Lu Renjia's expression was resolute, and his level immediately soared to 50!

"It's time-limited, and it has to be paid back~"

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

Lu Renjia was ecstatic; although Bai Tu's words implied he would lose a level of soul power, he was only level 18 anyway, so losing one level was fine! He had to get his five Gold Soul Coins back!

Dai Mubai's expression turned abruptly gloomy, his eyes fixed on the retreating Bai Tu with uncertainty.

The admissions teacher, Li Yusong, also furrowed his brows tightly; he couldn't gauge Bai Tu's strength and was unsure just how powerful this existence with such bizarre abilities truly was.

Otherwise, he would have long since used his staff to strike, following the motto: "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre!"

What? The opponent might be very strong? Then this old man will just be mediocre!

"Big brother, I still only have one soul ring, I'm worried..."

Lu Renjia suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Tu.

Bai Tu frowned slightly, feeling a bit disgusted; he had helped him purely for the sake of entertainment.

The moment he started making demands, Bai Tu felt a sense of aversion.

"Is there anyone else who wants their Gold Soul Coins back?"

"Time is limited. Shall I round up a group so you can all take them back together?"

Ignoring Lu Renjia's plea, Bai Tu asked the crowd watching the battle.

Before long, six people gritted their teeth and stepped forward.

"Is that all?"

Bai Tu inquired.

"Big brother! There's me too!"

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

"You!"

Dai Mubai's eyes widened, and he even directed a murderous intent straight at Ning Rongrong!

"Is there anyone else? This is your last chance!"

Bai Tu asked with a smile, his gaze meeting the wavering eyes of Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing vaguely sensed that this might be the only opportunity she would have in this lifetime!

"I..."

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Dai Mubai's face had turned as black as coal; if his father saw him, he might suspect his mother had been keeping a slave.

Snap!

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

"Dai Mubai can now propagate Dai Mubai~"

Bai Tu smiled and increased the dosage!

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

"Ahhhhh!"

Dai Mubai screamed in agony; his soul power was plummeting, and he felt a sharp, tearing pain in his gut!

"Sir! That's enough! We can refund the Gold Soul Coins to these people!"

Li Yusong could no longer sit still; he stood up and stared fixedly at Bai Tu.

Watching Dai Mubai's miserable state and recalling what Bai Tu had just said, a chill rose in his heart!

"Zhu Zhuqing, since Dai Mubai can't give birth and is already in such pain, why not help him with a C-section?"

Bai Tu couldn't be bothered to acknowledge the old geezer, looking instead at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile on his lips.

"You... how do you know?"

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils constricted; he actually knew her and Dai Mubai's identities!

Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled slightly; she understood that Bai Tu meant for her to make a clean break.

But Zhu Zhuqing had no idea what Bai Tu's next move was, or how he intended to treat her.

"Zhu Zhuqing, do you intend to be a vassal for a lifetime, or be yourself for a single moment?"

Bai Tu countered with a question.

Zhu Zhuqing was decent in the early stages, but she became a mere accessory in the middle and later parts.

Or rather, living in this deformed feudal era, she had already developed some thoughts of a new-age woman, but as Dai Mubai continued his posturing, she ultimately chose to accept her fate.

She needed someone to give her a push!

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists, remaining silent.

"Heh~"

Bai Tu shook his head in disappointment.

"Big brother! Do you know Rongrong too?"

Ning Rongrong felt a bit jealous; it was clearly she who had arrived first!

She had even cunningly hidden her own name in her words.

"Ahhhhh!"

Dai Mubai's continued screaming interrupted Ning Rongrong's train of thought, and for a moment, she glared at Dai Mubai with annoyance.

Li Yusong's expression was dark and uncertain; he stepped forward, coated his hands with soul power, and gave a light swipe!

"Ah!"

Dai Mubai screamed again as a massive gash opened in his stomach!

Inside was another Dai Mubai, also with a swollen belly, curled up in a ball!

The moment this scene appeared!

Lu Renjia, Tang Hao, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Li Yusong, and all the students and parents waiting for refunds felt their pupils constrict, a violent chill surging into their hearts!

"1, 2..."

"3..."

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 screamed in terror, took a few steps back, and then dove into the crowd like a madwoman.

Bai Tu glanced at her but didn't care.

"At this rate, we are still 5 Dai Mubais short..."

Bai Tu extended his fingers, calculating the answer.

"Enough! We'll refund the money, we'll refund it all! We'll refund everyone!"

Li Yusong knelt on the ground, his mental defenses completely shattered by Bai Tu's methods!

"We'll refund ten times the amount! I beg you, please let Dai Mubai go!"

"Tch."

Bai Tu boredly dissipated the excess power of Propagation within Dai Mubai's body.

"These three are all there are. This Young Master is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see people killed."

Bai Tu shrugged, agreeing to Li Yusong's conditions.

"Right, because these Dai Mubais were created through Propagation, these three can be said to be completely identical."

"Body, memories, personality."

Bai Tu spoke softly, yet his gaze looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a playful glint.

"Are you coming with me, or would you like to try being ravaged by three tigers, little kitten?"

Zhu Zhuqing's heart turned to ash.
