Lin Feng paused, then leaned back in his chair, the corner of his mouth curling into an amused smile. "This is getting interesting."

"I was wondering how to give that bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well another shock. I didn't expect Bibi Dong to do me the favor and deliver an opportunity right to my doorstep."

"Since the Sky Screen picks at random, let's see which unlucky soul gets pulled in this time."

Douluo Continent.

As the Sky Screen's voice faded, the Soul Master World, which had gone wild over Bibi Dong becoming a god, fell quiet once more.

A new slot!

That meant someone else was about to be sent to that terrifying world!

Before, everyone might have shrunk back in fear.

But after seeing with their own eyes how Bibi Dong had become a god simply by sweeping floors and drinking porridge, everyone's attitude had changed!

Shrek Academy.

"Pick me! Pick me!"

Ma Hongjun leaped excitedly to his feet, his rolls of fat wobbling. "I want to drink porridge too! I want to become a god!"

Even Tang San, usually so composed, had a flicker of longing in his eyes.

If he could go to that world, then even if he had to suffer a little, as long as he brought back that divine medicine, wouldn't anything he wanted be within easy reach?

Buzz!!

In an instant, a dazzling golden light pierced through the clouds. With an air of irresistible destiny, it circled once above the heads of the Shrek group.

Then, under everyone's tense gaze, the beam of light fell neither on Tang San nor on Ma Hongjun.

Instead, it landed squarely on Dai Mubai!

"Me?"

Dai Mubai was stunned.

But he was, after all, a prince of the Star Luo Empire and the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils. His brief shock gave way to a surge of delight!

The chosen one!

He had been recognized by the heavens!

If that woman Bibi Dong could do it, then how could he, the mighty Evil-Eyed White Tiger, with his top-tier Beast Martial Soul and Imperial Family bloodline, possibly fail?

"Hahaha! No matter where I am, I, Dai Mubai, am always the brightest star!"

Dai Mubai adjusted his golden hair, then turned toward Zhu Zhuqing, who stood in the corner with a cool expression. He put on what he thought was his most charming, devoted, and roguish smile. "Zhuqing, did you see that?"

"This is fate! I'm destined to become a god, and I'm destined to take you to the top of the world!"

"When I return from that world with supreme opportunities, I'll show you that only I, Dai Mubai, am truly worthy of you!"

"Then I'll make my whole family—and the brother who's fighting me for the throne—kneel and tremble at my feet!"

But in response to his grand speech,

Zhu Zhuqing only gave him a cold glance. There was not a trace of admiration in her eyes, only disgust.

Idiot.

She silently spat out the two words in her heart.

Before Dai Mubai could say anything else to show off, the golden light abruptly contracted!

Whoosh!

Dai Mubai vanished on the spot, leaving behind only a trace of cheap cologne in the air.

Battle Through the Heavens Plane, Jia Ma Empire, Misty Cloud Sect.

Misty Cloud Mountain towered into the sky, and through the swirling clouds, magnificent palaces appeared and disappeared from view.

This was the Jia Ma Empire's sacred land of cultivation. At that moment, thousands of Misty Cloud Sect disciples, dressed in moon-white robes, were practicing their sword forms on the vast white jade plaza.

Sword energy crisscrossed like churning clouds. Their gathered momentum alone was enough to turn the winds and clouds.

Boom!

A golden beam crashed without warning into the center of the plaza, kicking up a wave of air.

Dai Mubai landed with a flourish, even tossing his golden hair and striking a handsome pose.

"Is this a higher-dimensional world?"

He looked around. Feeling the energy fluctuations in the air, so dense they were almost outrageous, his Evil Eyes lit up. "What a great place! It's practically a sacred land for cultivation!"

"And besides—"

His gaze was instantly drawn to the two figures on the raised platform.

The woman at the front wore a plain moon-white dress. Beautiful beyond compare, she carried herself with noble grace, like a snow lotus atop the clouds: Yun Yun!

Beside her stood a young woman who looked a little less mature, but whose features were as lovely as a painting and whose bearing was proud. Her fitted sect uniform traced the curves of her still-developing figure: Nalan Yanran!

"Beauties! They're all beauties!"

Dai Mubai's throat went dry, and his Evil Fire flared within him.

On Douluo Continent, he had seen countless women. But whether it was Zhu Zhuqing's coolness or the obedience of those twins, they were like fireflies trying to outshine the moon compared to these two!

"This bearing, this lofty air—that's the kind of woman I, Dai Mubai, should conquer!"

At that moment, on the raised platform,

"Teacher, I've made up my mind. Xiao Yan is nothing but a good-for-nothing with three stages of Dou Qi. He's not worthy of me, Nalan Yanran! I'm breaking off this engagement!"

Nalan Yanran's clear, resolute voice rang across the plaza.

Dai Mubai perked up as soon as he heard her.

Breaking off an engagement? Looking down on her fiancé because he was useless?

This was practically a script written just for him!

If her fiancé was a good-for-nothing, then this was the perfect chance for Young Master Dai to show off!

As long as he displayed his strength and the bearing of a prince, wouldn't a proud young woman like her fall right into his hands?

So, under the astonished gazes of thousands of people, Dai Mubai strode forward, chest puffed out, wearing what he considered his most charming, roguish smile. He called out loudly, "The beauty speaks the truth!"

"How could a good-for-nothing man be worthy of such a stunning beauty?"

He pushed off the ground and leaped straight to the foot of the raised platform. Then he gave Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun what he thought was a perfectly proper Star Luo Imperial Family salute. "I am Dai Mubai, a prince of the Star Luo Empire and the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils!"

"When I see injustice, I draw my sword! Since this lady is in trouble, I'll gladly lend a hand and teach that shameless good-for-nothing a lesson for her!"

As he spoke, he flashed his heterochromatic eyes at Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, letting his gaze roam over the two women without restraint.

The entire Misty Cloud Sect plaza fell into an eerie silence.

Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran looked at the golden-haired newcomer as though he were an idiot.

Elder Ge Ye, standing nearby, twitched at the corner of his mouth, his expression one of utter disbelief.

The Star Luo Empire?

What backwater kingdom was that?

Never heard of it.

A prince? With that lecherous look, he was going to help the young sect master teach someone a lesson?

"Where did this lecher come from?"

Nalan Yanran's brows drew together. Her disgust was plain to see as she pointed her sword at Dai Mubai. "My private affairs are none of your business!"

"And move those filthy eyes of yours! Look at me again, and I'll gouge them out!"

Scolded in front of everyone, Dai Mubai's smile froze.

He was a prince!

He was Young Master Dai!

In Suotuo City, everyone called him Young Master Dai when they saw him.

When had a woman ever insulted him like this?

"Little girl, you've got quite a temper."

Dai Mubai sneered. His lecherous expression was no longer hidden, and his Soul Power burst out as four Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet. "But I like a thorny rose like you!"

"If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for using my strength to make you submit!"

"White Tiger, possess me!!"

Roar!

With a tiger's roar, Dai Mubai's muscles swelled, tearing through his clothes. A king-shaped mark appeared on his forehead, his hands turned into tiger claws, and a brilliant golden light radiated from his body.

He stood proudly, showing off the Martial Soul he was so proud of. "See that? This is a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger!"

"A Four-Ring Soul Ancestor! Even in your world, I'm absolutely a genius among geniuses!"

He had expected his transformation to earn gasps of astonishment and admiration from the people around him.

But reality was cruel.

"Pfft—"

One of the Misty Cloud Sect disciples couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

The entire plaza immediately erupted in laughter.
