Ning Rongrong habitually pressed herself against Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body, hugging her tightly as if she were a body pillow.
Zhu Zhuqing had already grown accustomed to this.
Being held by the soft Ning Rongrong, she felt very comfortable and at ease.
The two sisters enjoyed a wonderful, restful sleep.
Early the next morning.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong cleaned themselves up thoroughly inside the hotel.
Zhu Zhuqing was still wearing her leather pants and fitted outfit, which perfectly showcased her slender, curvaceous figure.
Ning Rongrong, however, had swapped her white dress for a pair of long, grey trousers, paired with a yellow long-sleeved shirt embroidered with clouds. The overall look was gentle and elegant, yet full of a sporty flair.
After all, today they were going to the Soul Fighting Arena—they were going to fight!
Wearing a skirt would make it too easy to have a wardrobe malfunction!
Soon after.
After enjoying breakfast at the Shanhaijian Hotel, the two sisters headed toward the location of Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy was situated in a remote little village in Soto City, quite a distance from the bustling city center.
The two sisters spent nearly an hour in a carriage before finally arriving at Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy was a small, dilapidated, and poor place, even smaller than the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy.
Naturally, there were no gatekeepers to be found.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong entered the academy as if walking into an empty space, strolling swaggeringly down the main path.
As they walked.
The two of them spotted five young figures running and exercising in the morning sun.
Among them.
Ma Hongjun cursed and grumbled, "Flender is really no good. He's been to the chicken coop for three days in a row, ordering the Full Chicken Set Meal."
"He's had his fill and is sleeping in every day; he hasn't even woken up yet."
"But he makes us get up early to run and exercise. He's really not human, ahhh!"
Ma Hongjun's chubby face was flushed red from running, and he vented his resentment through foul language.
"Fatty, your body just isn't up to it!" Dai Mubai mocked. "I went to find the twin sisters for some business last night, and I'm still standing tall and continuing the morning run today, aren't I?"
As Dai Mubai spoke, his expression was somewhat smug; he was quite robust, after all.
He was just about to continue boasting.
Oscar, standing to the side, looked as if he had seen a ghost. He stopped in his tracks and called out urgently, "Mubai, Hongjun, stop talking!"
"Why can't I talk? The Dean is still sleeping; he can't hear us!" Ma Hongjun retorted.
"Look over there, Rongrong and Zhuqing, they're back!!" Oscar's voice was filled with excitement.
Ma Hongjun sheepishly shut his mouth, not daring to spout any more nonsense.
Beside them, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu all stopped in unison, turning their gazes toward the direction Oscar was pointing.
All five of them saw Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing walking toward them.
Over these past few days.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had been eating and sleeping well, and their skin was in excellent condition.
Under the reflection of the warm sun, the fair skin of the two sisters seemed to glow, making them exceptionally beautiful and eye-catching!
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were unable to look away, their eyes burning with intensity.
Even Tang San, who usually had better self-control, couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
Xiao Wu, noticing this, pouted her little mouth slightly.
"Holy crap! Dean Flender was right!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed. "Zhu Zhuqing really brought Ning Rongrong back to the academy!"
Flender had once predicted in front of Ma Hongjun that Zhu Zhuqing would bring Ning Rongrong back to the academy within three days.
Even if Ning Rongrong didn't return, Zhu Zhuqing would return to the academy alone.
And look at that.
The three-day deadline had arrived!
Zhu Zhuqing had indeed brought Ning Rongrong back to Shrek Academy together!
Watching Zhu Zhuqing walk toward him, Dai Mubai felt a stir in his heart and muttered, "I used to think the Dean's words were just like passing gas."
"But now, I take that back!"
"Dean is truly formidable; she was actually able to predict this. Zhuqing really did come back!"
"Sure enough, ginger is spicier when it's old."
Having not seen Zhu Zhuqing for several days, Dai Mubai felt an itch all over, as if he were being scratched by a cat.
He hungered for Zhu Zhuqing!
As for Ning Rongrong, that fool who still acted like a spoiled brat, it would be for the best if she never came back!
"Rongrong..." Oscar whispered, feeling a surge of excitement.
As long as Ning Rongrong returned to Shrek Academy, he still had a chance to win her over!
"Third Brother, has Ning Rongrong had a change of heart? Does she want to stay at the academy to study?" Xiao Wu asked Tang San.
"I suppose that must be it," Tang San nodded and said. "Zhu Zhuqing has been gone for three days; she must have persuaded Ning Rongrong properly. She moved her with sincerity and convinced her to stay at the academy!"
"Zhuqing is amazing!" Xiao Wu couldn't help but praise.
Nearby.
Oscar beamed with joy, hurried forward to greet them, and said excitedly, "Rongrong, Zhuqing, you're back!"
"Rongrong, how about it? Have you thought it through? Do you want to continue staying at Shrek Academy?"
"All of us have missed you so much!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai, who was standing not far away, rolled his eyes at Oscar and cursed under his breath, "What a simp, spouting nonsense. Who would miss this 'young lady' with princess syndrome? It's clearly only him!"
Dai Mubai held a deep prejudice against Ning Rongrong because she had confronted him to his face, making him lose face.
From childhood to adulthood, every woman he encountered had been respectful and submissive toward him.
This was the first time Dai Mubai had ever been scolded by a girl.
He was very vengeful; he wanted to pluck every thorn off this rose named Ning Rongrong and make her obedient.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai had already mentally claimed her as his own woman!
Chapter 37: Divorcing Dai Mubai
The evil glint flickered in Dai Mubai's pupils; he could spend the rest of his life teaching Zhu Zhuqing a lesson!
"Hmph!" Dai Mubai looked at Ning Rongrong and snorted. "You'd better have thought this through!"
"Our Shrek Academy is a place with rules; it's not somewhere you can just come and go as you please!"
"If you've made up your mind, then don't leave again!"
"Otherwise, get lost as soon as possible!"
Xiao Wu, standing to the side, couldn't bear to listen anymore and advised, "Mubai, be more polite. We're all classmates!"
Dai Mubai cast a glance at Xiao Wu with his evil eyes.
If it weren't for Tang San standing beside her, which made him feel wary, Dai Mubai would definitely have lashed out at Xiao Wu as well.
Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes ignored Oscar, who was standing right in front of her with a smiling face; she had no intention of acknowledging him at all.
Then, she looked at Dai Mubai with a cold, indifferent gaze and said, "Dai Mubai, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your temper is still as foul as ever!"
"It seems that if I don't give you a good beating today, you won't learn to behave!"
"Do you really think you, Dai Mubai, are invincible and that no one can teach you a lesson?"
"In my eyes, you're nothing but a sick cat pretending to be a tiger, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"
"You're really good at putting on an act. Even my Storage Soul Tool belt isn't as good at 'acting' as you are!"
Ning Rongrong's words were incredibly blunt, every syllable piercing his heart as she lashed out at Dai Mubai.
The people around them were stunned upon hearing this.
None of them had expected that after disappearing for over three days, Ning Rongrong would return with an even more arrogant attitude.
In fact, her current demeanor was even more aggressive than before she left.
The smile on Oscar's face froze completely at that moment.
"Rongrong, you..." Oscar was at a loss, caught in a dilemma.
"Don't call me Rongrong, you aren't worthy!" Ning Rongrong swept a cold glance at Oscar and said, "I already gave you a chance, but you were the one who proved useless!"
"I hate people like you who lack focus the most!"
"You should go find your entire forest, go find your entire sea of flowers!"
"Don't waste my time, and don't waste your own!"
"You...!" Oscar felt as if he had been struck by lightning; he couldn't even speak.
"Oscar, why are you clinging to this shrew! Come back!" Dai Mubai barked.
Upon hearing this, Oscar quickly composed himself, snorted, and said, "Hmph, Ning Rongrong. You really do get cocky the moment you're given an inch! You've really pushed your luck; I'm not going to coddle you anymore!"
After saying this, Oscar slunk back to the side of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
Ning Rongrong was already accustomed to Oscar's behavior and found it unsurprising; he was nothing but a coward.
Ma Hongjun had been watching the show from the sidelines the entire time, feasting his eyes with his lecherous gaze.
"Ning Rongrong, you cheap bone, Shrek Academy does not welcome you!"
After Oscar returned, Dai Mubai stepped forward.
At the same time, he raised his right palm, his soul power surging throughout his body as a violent aura leaked out.
Dai Mubai intended to slap Ning Rongrong's mouth to shreds, wanting to see whether her mouth was tougher or his palm!
"Dai Mubai, is all you can do is lay a hand on a girl, on a support-type soul master?"
"If you want to hit Rongrong, you'll have to get past me first!"
Zhu Zhuqing's lithe figure flickered, arriving in front of Ning Rongrong to block Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai cast a glance at Zhu Zhuqing with his evil eyes and said, "I thought you had gone to persuade Ning Rongrong to return to the academy."
"I never expected that this enchantress would take you away, bewitch you with rumors, and even make you turn against me!"
"The husband is the guide for the wife, the father is the guide for the son. I will discipline you today before I go to discipline Ning Rongrong!"
As Dai Mubai spoke, the fury in his evil eyes burned even brighter.
"I am not your wife, and you have no right to discipline me!" Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
Dai Mubai sneered and said, "Don't forget, we were betrothed the moment we were born!"
"You are my fiancée; although we aren't married yet, you will be my wife sooner or later!"
"You are my woman, and I advise you not to turn your back on me, or I will strike you right now!"
Dai Mubai's words left Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar stunned.
It was the first time they had learned that Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were actually already betrothed!
No wonder Dai Mubai was always pestering Zhu Zhuqing, treating her as his own possession.
Ning Rongrong had known about this for a long time.
Ever since Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had become best friends, Zhu Zhuqing had told her everything.
