At the night market in Suotuo City, Ning Rongrong watched herself in the video, so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.
[I Am Not Yanzi: Wow, Rongrong, I had no idea you were that bold!]
[Begonia Blossoms: Th-this is really the Rongrong I know?]
[Heavenly King Covers Earth Fox: The eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. No wonder she's got such a temper.]
[Fire-Breathing Dragon: Hmph. Little girl, you don't know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is.]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: It's time for a scathing review!]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Ning Rongrong, you've got a bit of a princess complex. You grew up steeped in privilege, and in your mind, the world should revolve around you. Rules are for ordinary people, while you're a princess who stands above them.]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: You have no sense of commitment or responsibility. When you got caught, you showed no remorse—instead, you asked the dean, "Were you spying on me?" You're not very good at reading the room, and you mistake that for being frank. That's your sense of entitlement talking.]
Ye Qiong's scathing review left Ning Rongrong utterly ashamed.
[Ding! Shame Emotion Points from Pagoda Suppresses River Demon +300] [Ding! Shock Emotion Points from First Cute Bunny +150] [Ding! Agreement Emotion Points from Most Beautiful Pope +120]
[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: Waaaaah, stop scolding me, stop scolding me! I know I was wrong. I'll never do that again!]
Although Ning Rongrong sent crying emojis in the group chat, deep down, she felt more embarrassed than anything else that her true nature had been exposed.
Why am I like this in the future? I worked so hard to build up my image in the group chat, and now it's all ruined. Waaaaah.
[First Cute Bunny: Don't cry, Rongrong. That's just a future version of you who hasn't been in the group chat yet. The you right now is already great!]
[No Petting Cats: Yeah, we're all here.]
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's comfort made Ning Rongrong feel a little better.
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: All right, don't cry. These are only your flaws, after all. It's not like you've done something unforgivable.]
[Fire-Breathing Dragon: Exactly. Nobody's perfect. Just face your flaws and work on fixing them.]
Liu Erlong felt the same way.
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: All right, here's the last clip, and the best one yet. It's about a certain two-faced mutt who calls himself a "love sage."]
As Ye Qiong spoke, he sent the final video.
[Ding! Group Owner "Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero" uploaded the video file <Shrek's First Lesson: The Love Sage's Incompetent Rage>]
The video opened with everyone on their way back from the Great Soul Arena.
Ma Hongjun said excitedly, "You guys go on ahead. The dean just told me to stop by his shop."
Dai Mubai gave him a knowing smile. "Take it easy, then."
Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Boss Dai, what's that fatty going off to do?"
Dai Mubai laughed. "What else? He can't hold back his Evil Fire."
"Going off to harass girls again?"
Dai Mubai explained, "Harass isn't quite the word. Didn't you know there are places in this world called brothels?"
Tang San asked in surprise, "You mean the dean's taking Ma Hongjun to a place like that?"
Dai Mubai said helplessly, "There's no other way."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke from beside them, her voice icy. "Men are all filthy."
Dai Mubai was caught off guard and fell silent. All he could do was watch her walk away, her expression cold.
Back at the academy, they saw Ning Rongrong and Oscar waiting at the entrance.
Already in a foul mood after Zhu Zhuqing had rebuffed him, Dai Mubai coldly asked Ning Rongrong, "Have you made up your mind? Staying or leaving?"
Ning Rongrong deliberately provoked him. "What's with that look? Did Zhuqing turn you down? Haha, and here I thought Oscar said you were some kind of love sage!"
Her words ignited Dai Mubai's fury. His eyes flashed coldly. "Ning Rongrong! Don't test my patience! This is Shrek Academy, not your home! Other people might fear the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I, Dai Mubai, don't! If you make me angry, I'll rape you and kill you, then rape you and kill you again!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Dai Mubai released his Soul Power, sending Ning Rongrong flying.
Oscar rushed forward to catch her, but the tremendous force sent them both crashing to the ground.
[No Petting Cats: ...]
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked so disgusted she might as well have been glaring straight through the screen.
[First Cute Bunny: What a beast! How could he say something like that?!]
[I Am Not Yanzi: That's revolting! That man's absolute scum!]
[Fire-Breathing Dragon: Kill him! Trash like that shouldn't be allowed to live!]
In the video, Tang San immediately stepped in front of Ning Rongrong and used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to dispel the remaining Soul Power. "Mubai, we're all classmates. Let it go."
Dai Mubai took a deep breath and reined in his Soul Power. "Fine, Xiao San. I'll let it go for your sake."
He glanced at Ning Rongrong.
"Remember this: this isn't your home. Don't provoke me again."
Ning Rongrong was furious and aggrieved, tears welling in her eyes. She wiped them away and shouted, "Tang San! Help me kill him! Use those special weapons of yours to kill him! If you do, you'll be an honored guest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from now on. I'll pay you—ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. How about it? And you'll have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's unconditional support from now on!"
Tang San walked up to her, his expression stern. "Ning Rongrong, there are some things in this world that money and power can't buy. This is an academy, and that's all it is. We're all classmates. If you keep holding on to that attitude and the sense of superiority the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gave you, then I suggest you leave."
"Y-you know how powerful the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is, don't you?" Ning Rongrong glared at him, unwilling to give in.
Tang San smiled calmly. "So what if I know? What if I don't? What does it have to do with me? Xiao Wu, let's go."
The video ended there.
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Time for the final scathing review!]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Dai Mubai, a greasy, two-faced mutt who calls himself a "love sage." His "girl-killer" image has completely fallen apart. After getting shut down, he could only take his impotent rage out on someone weaker, threatening to "rape and kill her." Talk like that is an absolute disgrace to manhood.]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: He's strict with others and lenient with himself. He tells Ma Hongjun to suppress his Evil Fire, yet he himself goes on three dates in a single day. At least Ma Hongjun's problem comes from his Martial Soul. What about him? He simply can't keep it in his pants. He acts polite to his buddies, but that's just a mask.]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: As for Tang San, he's a walking "textbook of double standards" and a master of fake virtue. He lectures Ning Rongrong that "money and power can't buy everything," yet whenever he fights, he's ready to use hidden weapons and poison needles. And when he wins, he has to make a grand speech about it. He's always putting on airs.]
This scathing review was even more brutal, tearing the two male leads in the videos to shreds.
[Ding! Anger Emotion Points from No Petting Cats +280] [Ding! Disgust Emotion Points from First Cute Bunny +250] [Ding! Contempt Emotion Points from 6G Sky Wing +200] ...
In a single night, Ye Qiong had racked up over ten thousand Emotion Points, putting him in a great mood.
In Suotuo City, the three girls had mixed feelings after watching all the videos.
"Are we still going to class tomorrow?" Ning Rongrong asked quietly.
"Of course. Why wouldn't we?"
Xiao Wu clenched her fists.
"Exactly." Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was resolute.
"Now that we know what the future holds, we have to change it. Besides, I've been wanting to check out the Great Soul Arena."
The three girls clasped hands tightly.
Meanwhile, in Aedes Elysiae, Ye Qiong gazed at the moon and opened his status panel.
"After tripling, that's forty-five thousand three hundred? Not bad."
Then, first things first: time to level up.
