"You don't need to answer such nonsense."

Bibi Dong's purple eyes shimmered with impatient coldness: "You only need to tell me, where is Doudou!"

"It's... Doudou and Ma Xiaotao went that way."

Zhang Lexuan pointed in a direction.

Bibi Dong nodded, her figure flickering a few times before vanishing from the spot, moving so fast that only a lingering afterimage remained.

After Bibi Dong left.

The group remained immersed in the shock of what had just occurred, unable to recover for a long time.

At this moment, an elite disciple looked at the dying Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Silver Moon Wolf King, lying on the ground. A flash of fanaticism crossed his eyes as he gritted his teeth and urged:

"Senior Sister, this Wolf King isn't dead yet. Your eighth soul ring slot is empty, why not... just choose this Silver Moon Wolf King?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at the once-arrogant Wolf King, now lying there like a dead dog, and felt a complex mix of emotions.

Under normal circumstances, this would have been a heaven-sent opportunity.

But now, she only felt a bone-chilling cold.

That woman was too terrifying.

Chen Doudou's background was far more unfathomable than she had imagined.

"No."

Zhang Lexuan shook her head, her gaze complex: "We cannot take this soul ring."

"Why?" the disciple asked, confused.

"Because there are some things we aren't meant to touch."

Zhang Lexuan sighed, looking in the direction Chen Doudou had left: "If we dare to take it before they agree, I fear we wouldn't even know how we died."

"Alright, everyone stay put and rest. Help the wounded stop their bleeding first."

"Yes!"

A quarter of an hour later.

Bibi Dong walked over slowly, cradling a sleeping figure in her arms, with Ma Xiaotao and Pegasus Zeus following behind.

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan immediately stood up to greet them, her eyes full of worry: "Senior, what happened to Doudou?"

Bibi Dong looked down at the sleeping Chen Doudou, a rare trace of tenderness appearing between her cold brows: "It's nothing, he's just exhausted. The little one overexerted his soul power; let him sleep for a while and he will be fine."

"That's good..."

Zhang Lexuan let out a sigh of relief, her taut nerves finally relaxing a little: "Senior, Doudou exhausted himself because of us. If he needs any nourishing medicinal herbs, our Shrek Academy will take full responsibility and will not refuse."

Bibi Dong waved her hand directly, as if shooing away flies: "Enough, go attend to your own business. Don't be an eyesore here, and don't disturb Doudou."

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Lexuan had been attentive to Doudou over the past two days, given her past temperament, she wouldn't have bothered to say a single word to this group of Shrek people.

"Yes, Senior."

Zhang Lexuan signaled to Ma Xiaotao to follow her back to the other side.

In that instant, the entire campsite seemed to be divided into two by an invisible boundary.

One side was warm and peaceful, while the other was oppressive and gloomy.

A few more minutes passed.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, Xuan Zi descended from the sky, carrying several plump pheasants in his hands, his face beaming with a hearty smile: "Hahahaha! It seems everyone is doing well! Come and see, the old man just caught a few pheasants. They're very fat; everyone try some fresh meat later!"

When they saw that Xuan Zi had neglected his guard duty just to catch a few pheasants, the rage of the Shrek group was instantly ignited.

But out of respect for Xuan Zi's authority, no one dared to lash out to his face.

The straightforward Ma Xiaotao couldn't care less, sneering: "Yo, Xuan Zi, you finally know how to come back? Why didn't you just stay out there and come back even later?"

Xuan Zi was bewildered by the jab and looked at the group: "Xiaotao, what's wrong? I didn't provoke you, did I? Didn't I just go out to catch a few pheasants? Is it really that big of a deal?"

Seeing that Xuan Zi still had no realization of his mistake, Ma Xiaotao instantly flew into a rage, forgetting what status the man before her held: "Xuan Zi! You still have the nerve to speak? Do you know that we almost suffered total annihilation just now!"

"We encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! If it weren't for the help of Doudou's elder, we would have died without a burial ground!"

Xuan Zi was sprayed with a torrent of abuse and was instantly stunned, dismissing it: "This... how is this possible? How could there be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast here? Did you all see wrong?"

Seeing this, the Shrek group all looked on with cold faces, and not a single person stepped forward to speak for Xuan Zi.

After all, they had nearly lost their lives; who wouldn't be furious?

Ma Xiaotao was trembling with anger, pointing at the still-twitching Silver Moon Wolf King not far away: "Xuan Zi! Open your dog eyes and look! What is that?!"

Xuan Zi followed the direction of her finger, and when he saw the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the pheasants in his hands dropped to the ground with a thud.

He slapped his own face hard.

"What... what have I done!!!"

"Ahhh! This old man is guilty!"

Xuan Zi let out a wail of remorse, his aged face flushing a deep red as he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.

No longer daring to put on airs as a senior, he gathered everyone together, intending to apologize and offer compensation to each of them individually.

Even if they were furious, what could they possibly do?

They had no choice but to accept it.

After all, how could mere inner court disciples like them ever hope to shake Xuan Zi's status within Shrek Academy?

They could only silently record today's humiliation in their hearts, swearing that if there were ever another mission led by Xuan Zi, they would absolutely refuse to participate.

A few minutes later.

Xuan Zi squeezed a smile onto his old face and walked up to Bibi Dong: "You must be the elder looking after Chen Doudou, right? I wanted to ask, do you still want that Silver Moon Wolf King? If not, why not give it to us?"

Bibi Dong was completely stunned.

Ten thousand years had passed, and this was the first time she had seen someone as shameless as Yu Xiaogang.

She sneered: "Heh... the way you Shrek people operate is truly shameless. You want to take a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from me with just a single sentence?"

"I didn't say I wanted to take your Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for free. We can discuss what resources to exchange for it."

Xuan Zi's expression darkened instantly:

"You can insult me, but you should never, ever have insulted our Shrek Academy!"

The corners of Bibi Dong's mouth curled into a mocking arc: "So what if I insult your Shrek? Don't I know exactly what kind of reputation you Shrek people have?"

"You!"

Xuan Zi gritted his teeth, subconsciously releasing the terrifying pressure of a level 98 Super Douluo, wanting to teach the person before him a lesson.

Bibi Dong's beautiful face turned cold in an instant: "You dare to make a move against this lady? Honestly, your courage is truly something!"

As the words fell, she set Chen Doudou down.

With a single leap, she kicked Xuan Zi.

"Ah!"

Xuan Zi let out a miserable shriek, unable to react in time.

The terrifying power of Bibi Dong, who was at level 99, was simply not something he could withstand.

One must know that Bibi Dong's physical body had been reinforced by eighteen soul rings, all exceeding the eighty-thousand-year level.

Although she had been forced to relinquish a godhood back then, the Rakshasa God had not left her without compensation.

For instance, every single one of her soul rings now exceeded eighty thousand years, and she even possessed eleven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast rings.

With such physical strength combined with her exquisite mastery of soul power, how could Xuan Zi possibly block her?

In the span of a few breaths, Xuan Zi, who was renowned across the continent, was pinned under Bibi Dong's foot, his face filled with unwillingness.

In an instant, dust billowed into the air.

This completely overwhelming battle terrified the Shrek group so much that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, each of them frozen in place, trembling.

"Senior..."

Zhang Lexuan endured her fear and stepped forward, wanting to intervene.

Bibi Dong ignored her, her gaze fixed directly on Xuan Zi beneath her foot as she applied a slight pressure with her toe:

"Old thing, you should be thankful that you didn't do anything out of line to Chen Doudou these past two days. Otherwise, today would not be as simple as just being stepped on."

Had Xuan Zi harbored even the slightest malicious intent toward Chen Doudou, Bibi Dong would not have let him off so easily today.

After speaking, Bibi Dong scanned the crowd.

Everyone she looked at lowered their heads, not daring to meet her gaze.

"And another thing, don't think your Shrek Academy is so great!"

"Do you really think your title as the number one academy in the world was earned through sheer strength?"

"Don't make me laugh!"

Bibi Dong sneered. Seeing that they seemed to know nothing, she decided to tear off Shrek's mask right in front of them.

"Four thousand years ago, when the Sun Moon Continent invaded, it was Martial Soul Hall that stood on the front lines. It was Martial Soul Hall where every household hung white mourning banners. It was Martial Soul Hall that, in order to protect the common people of the world, stood against the pressure of the entire continent and repelled the Sun Moon Empire!"

"And what about you Shrek? You are nothing but a group of parasites occupying positions without doing any work, having stumbled into the title of the world's number one academy by pure luck! Do you really think you're that impressive?"

"Pah!"

Bibi Dong spat fiercely on the ground, the spit landing as if it had struck the heart of every Shrek disciple.

"A bunch of trash, and you think you're qualified to negotiate with this lady?"
