Oscar and Dai Mubai joined in the jeering, showing absolutely no regard for Ye Zhiqiu.
Fu Qin paused mid-motion as he picked up his food, a flash of disdain crossing his eyes.
These three fellows truly forgot the pain once the wound had healed.
Especially Tang San; his life trajectory had already diverged significantly from the original story.
All because of his own interference.
The two century-level trash soul rings Tang San had absorbed not only failed to provide him with a formidable physique but instead dragged down the quality of his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.
Furthermore, the current Tang San was addicted to the pleasures of the brothels, and despite having once been a God King, he had become incredibly conceited.
Coupled with the fact that he had just indulged himself in a brothel the previous night, his internal energy was hollow and unstable.
Now, daring to provoke a powerhouse at the Soul Elder level, in Fu Qin's eyes, he was simply courting death.
However, he had no intention of intervening. With three god-level buffs protecting his body, let alone a Soul Elder, he wouldn't even be afraid if he had dug up the grave of Tang Hao's wife.
In her previous life, Xiao Wu had been led astray by Flender's misguided theories. At the time, she hadn't felt anything was wrong, but seeing this similar scene now, she couldn't help but frown.
"Not daring to cause trouble is for the mediocre... This scene is so similar to my past life, but why do I feel like something is wrong?"
Xiao Wu's heart was pounding. Perhaps because she had experienced Tang San's betrayal in the God Realm, she was thinking much more deeply now.
But to maintain her "glorious image" in Fu Qin's heart, she still spoke up, unable to bear it.
"Isn't this going a bit too far..."
Seeing this, a look of helplessness appeared in Fu Qin's eyes, and he patted her head comfortingly: "Sister Xiao Wu, let's just eat our meal. Third Brother and the others are so strong, nothing will happen to them."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu nodded in agreement. After all, in her previous life, Tang San had been able to suppress this old Mystic Tortoise, Ye Zhiqiu, all by himself.
Having lived two lives, his strength should only be greater.
However.
No sooner had the words left his lips than a loud "bang" echoed through the room.
Unable to endure any longer, Ye Zhiqiu threw a punch at Tang San. The defensive power of the Mystic Tortoise martial soul was astonishing, and its offensive power was not to be underestimated.
Tang San, weakened by excessive indulgence, had no time to react. He was struck squarely in the chest, instantly spitting out a mouthful of blood as his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.
"Little San!" Dai Mubai exclaimed, wanting to rush forward, but he was kicked away by Ye Zhiqiu, slamming heavily into the wall and coughing up blood.
The gap between a Soul Elder and a Soul King was infinitely widened in this moment.
One must know that in the original story, it took the seven of them working together to restrain this Soul King-level old turtle, Ye Zhiqiu.
With only four people's strength, they were completely unable to withstand Ye Zhiqiu's fists.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were not spared either.
After the two strongest combatants fell one after another, Ye Zhiqiu moved like a tiger into a flock of sheep. With his hands flying, in just a few minutes, the two were beaten until their faces were bruised and swollen, falling into deep unconsciousness and gasping for breath.
The other diners in the inn fled in terror, leaving only the four of them with Fu Qin sitting as steady as a mountain.
Ning Rongrong was so frightened that she leaned toward Fu Qin, her small hand gripping his sleeve tightly, her voice trembling.
"Brother Fu Qin, that old turtle won't attack us, will he?"
Fu Qin patted the back of her hand, soothing her: "Don't be afraid. Third Brother and the others are very strong. Look, Third Brother's fingers are still twitching. If nothing goes wrong, he is already preparing to ambush that old turtle."
His voice was steady and powerful, instantly giving Ning Rongrong a great sense of security.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu also shifted closer to Fu Qin.
Fu Qin felt Xiao Wu's movement, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.
He thought that if Tang San were still awake, he would probably vomit blood on the spot seeing this.
Of course.
It was only because Tang San was unconscious that Xiao Wu dared to be so intimate with Fu Qin in public.
Just then, Zhao Wuji arrived late.
Seeing the four unconscious people on the ground, he was instantly filled with rage. His Immovable Wisdom King martial soul awakened instantly, the power belonging solely to a Soul Saint erupted fully, and he roared at Ye Zhiqiu.
"Daring to hit my Shrek Academy students, you are courting death!"
Ye Zhiqiu's expression changed; he hadn't expected Shrek Academy to have such a formidable teacher. But he refused to show weakness, channeling his Mystic Tortoise martial soul to its limit as he clashed with Zhao Wuji.
"Bang!" Zhao Wuji punched Ye Zhiqiu in the chest, sending him stumbling back repeatedly as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Get lost! If you dare appear before me again, I will cripple you!" Zhao Wuji roared, picking Ye Zhiqiu up like a chick and throwing him straight out of the inn.
After dealing with Ye Zhiqiu, Zhao Wuji strode over to the four of them, his face gloomy.
"What exactly happened?"
Seeing this, Fu Qin knew clearly that for Zhao Wuji to be this angry, he must have already met Tang Hao.
Fu Qin recounted the ins and outs of the matter, his tone flat, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
After hearing this, Zhao Wuji's face turned livid with rage.
"Damn it, more trouble than they're worth!" He then ordered people to carry the four of them back to recover from their injuries.
Fu Qin's gaze fell upon Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, and his heart suddenly stirred, subconsciously opening their personal panels.
The next second, his pupils constricted, and a rare look of astonishment appeared on his face.
He saw that on the personal panels of the three, the ages that had originally displayed as being in their teens had instantly skyrocketed to over fifty thousand years old.
And behind each of their names, a striking (Reincarnated) suffix had appeared, identical to the panels of Tang San and Xiao Wu!
Holy crap! Ye Zhiqiu actually managed to beat a few reincarnated deities out of them with just a few punches and kicks! A stormy sea surged in Fu Qin's heart.
He had originally thought that only Tang San and Xiao Wu had returned through rebirth, but he never expected that Dai Mubai and the others had also been reincarnated.
Combining this with the anomalies present in the personal information of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, he understood in an instant; there must have been a massive upheaval in the God Realm, causing these former powerhouses of the God Realm to all be reborn back into their youth.
So, what exactly was this upheaval?
Was it a war in the God Realm, or some other unforeseeable crisis?
With these reincarnated individuals all gathered at Shrek, what kind of chain reaction would it trigger?
Fu Qin's eyes became profound; he knew that the days ahead would likely not be peaceful.
Beside him, Xiao Wu seemed to notice his strangeness and asked softly, "Fu Qin, what's wrong?"
Fu Qin snapped back to reality, shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face: "Nothing, just felt a bit surprised."
Ning Rongrong leaned against his side, feeling the aura emanating from him, her heart filled with a sense of security.
In her eyes, Fu Qin was simply the perfect choice for a boyfriend—strong, handsome, and especially understanding of a girl's heart.
However, what she found strange was that since Xiao Wu already had Tang San as a boyfriend, why had the relationship between her and Fu Qin become so intimate?
Could it be that the two of them were biological siblings?
That didn't seem like it either!
