It had to be said, the God of Evil was truly evil enough, and his tongue was just as sharp.
Once these words were out, even the important figures of Shrek Academy from later eras couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
So, the top-tier institution they took such pride in had actually been built on swindling and deception?
For a moment, the current students of Shrek Academy all felt a sudden urge to tear down the statues of Flender and Yu Xiaogang.
Douluo Era 2.
Sea God Pavilion.
As this part played on the Light Screen, the corners of Mu En's eyes twitched several times.
Long Xiaoyao pushed his wheelchair, slowly circling around from behind.
"Mu En, it seems your Shrek Academy didn't come by its reputation honestly either."
A smile hung on his face, the look of someone enjoying a spectacle.
"Your founding Shrek Academy just used deceptive methods to recruit students?"
Mu En let out a long sigh, his whole body appearing as if something heavy were pressing down on his shoulders.
"Sigh."
"Who could have known what the situation was like at Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago."
His voice was filled with helplessness.
"This Ning Rongrong was one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, and her statue still stands at our academy gate today."
"To think she was tricked into joining."
"It truly is lamentable."
He paused, his gaze falling heavily onto the ground.
"I fear that from today on, Shrek Academy's reputation will have a stain on it."
Long Xiaoyao curled his lips, his tone as casual as if he were just chatting.
"I doubt it's just one stain, is it?"
Mu En did not respond.
The wheelchair was pushed forward, and he fell into silence.
Douluo Era 3.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion.
Yun Ming stood before the window with his hands behind his back, his silhouette appearing slightly more hunched than usual.
"I never expected this."
"The original Shrek Academy actually relied on such methods to recruit talented students?"
He muttered to himself, his voice carrying something that was hard to distinguish between anger and disappointment.
"I have spent my whole life taking pride in Shrek."
"Yet now you tell me that the holy land in my heart is so shameful."
His voice rose, then fell, as if he had been punched in the face.
Yun Ming shook his head.
The movement was light, yet it seemed to exhaust all his strength.
He could not change the past.
He could change nothing at all.
He could only stand there, thinking about tomorrow, the day after, and how he would explain this to the world once the entire continent knew.
The key was that Shrek's hostile factions would certainly use this as an excuse.
Douluo Era.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After watching everything on the Light Screen, Ning Rongrong's small fists were clenched so tightly that her nails were nearly digging into her palms.
"Despicable!"
She stood up abruptly, her face flushed bright red, her voice sharp and brittle.
"What kind of Shrek Academy is this? They are simply audacious!"
"Tricking others is one thing, but they actually dared to trick me!"
"I thought it was strange before—how could such an impressive school be one I'd never even heard of?"
She paced back and forth in the hall, her anger mounting with every step, her small chest heaving violently.
"If I hadn't stumbled upon their recruitment manifesto, I wouldn't have even known!"
"So that's how it is—the whole thing is a scam?"
"Fine, fine, just you all wait for this young lady!"
"When the time comes, I will definitely teach you all a lesson!"
Chen Xin stood to the side, watching her with a gentle gaze, his voice steady and calm.
"Yes, don't you worry, Rongrong."
"When the time comes, Sword Grandpa will go and destroy this so-called Shrek for you."
Ning Fengzhi's expression was not nearly as pleasant.
He darkened his face and let out a heavy snort through his nose.
"It's because you wouldn't listen."
"At your age, can you even tell the difference between good and bad?"
"A few sweet words from them, and you jump right in without even checking their background."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, his voice rising a notch.
"It seems I've been too indulgent with you in the past."
"From now on, Father will keep a close eye on your cultivation!"
Ning Rongrong's small face instantly fell, and she let out a long, aggrieved whine.
"Ah?"
"Doesn't that mean I'll lose my freedom?"
Ning Fengzhi let out a cold, resolute snort.
"Safety is better than freedom."
He paused, his gaze shifting to the spot where the Light Screen had vanished, a flicker of cold, lethal intent flashing in his eyes.
"The Light Screen hasn't made it clear yet—what's the situation with this so-called Oscar in the future?"
"If my precious daughter gets swindled away, I'll have them all buried with her!"
Ning Rongrong shrank her neck, her lips moving, but she ultimately didn't dare to make another sound.
She looked at the Light Screen, feeling quite curious herself.
The Light Screen had previously claimed that she would be gaslighted by someone named Oscar in the future, and she didn't know if it was true or false.
She muttered, "Hmph, I'll just watch!"
"Let's see how else this Shrek Academy dares to bully this young lady!!"
Ning Fengzhi glanced at her, then returned his serious gaze to the Light Screen, eager to understand the situation.
Inside the Light Screen.
[Ning Rongrong's brain is basically a decoration once she leaves Shrek Academy.]
[No, wait—it's no different from a decoration even while she's at the academy!]
[With her judgment, falling for a piece of trash like Oscar is like being blind and then complaining that you aren't blind enough.]
[As the saying goes: one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black.]
[Can anything good come out of the same bed?]
[Oscar plays so well with Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai; their relationship is so close, so intimate.]
[Do you have any brains at all? If Oscar were pure and clean, could he be such good friends with them?]
[Do you really think Oscar is that innocent?]
[Of course, Ning Rongrong herself is an idiot, so she and Oscar are quite a match.]
[Her sleeping with Oscar is like a dung beetle finding a ball of manure—birds of a feather flock together!]
[So, the saying about being stained by ink really holds water.]
[Ning Rongrong herself, the moment she arrived at Shrek, acted like she hadn't seen a man in eight lifetimes—was she really that desperate?]
[And she just had to go into heat for Oscar?]
[Why?]
[Because Oscar knows how to put on an act!]
[He pretends to be deep, pretends to be devoted, acting just like some pure-hearted boy!]
[But in reality?]
[Oscar has been with more women than there are dishes in the Shrek Academy cafeteria!]
Ma Hongjun had said it himself: he wasn't like that pretty boy Oscar, who could just crook a finger and have a swarm of women throwing themselves at him!
The original work contained various lines, both overt and subtle, suggesting that Oscar changed girlfriends more often than he changed his clothes!
What was even more disgusting was Oscar's initial attitude toward Ning Rongrong: it was "the leftovers go to me"!
He had said to Tang San: "Zhu Zhuqing goes to Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu goes to you, Tang San, so I guess I have no choice but to pick Ning Rongrong."
To translate that: he wanted all three women, but eventually realized Ning Rongrong was the easiest to fool, the easiest to manipulate, and the least temperamental, so he settled for her!
Who the hell do you think you are, Oscar?
A sausage vendor, and you dare to play emperor picking his concubines here? Where's your shame?
