Who Came Up with This Thing Called Xu Sanshi?

"Xu Sanshi!"

A furious shout suddenly came from outside the Soul Fighting Zone.

Just from the voice alone, it was obvious that it was Tang Ya.

As for why Tang Ya had come looking for Xu Sanshi?

Duh. In the entire academy, who besides Xu Sanshi could make Jiang Nannan cry, even drive her into depression?

Besides, most people did not have the nerve to bully Jiang Nannan.

Tang Ya had learned the full story from the small supermarket where Jiang Nannan worked part-time.

Because Xu Sanshi had deliberately made things difficult for her, Jiang Nannan had not only lost the part-time job she had worked so hard to find, but had even had to pay medical expenses for injuring someone.

As everyone knew, if you wanted to get a girl's attention, you either relied on outstanding looks and talent, or deliberately targeted her.

Clearly, Xu Sanshi belonged to the latter category.

With Xu Sanshi's status, he could have relied on his sect's support to get Jiang Nannan, yet he had always believed he could do it through his own efforts.

Thus, under his relentless pestering, Jiang Nannan grew increasingly disgusted with him.

It had practically reached the point where she would take a detour whenever she saw him.

Jiang Nannan: If I can't afford to provoke him, can't I at least avoid him?

"Hey, Tang Ya, what are you doing?"

Seeing Beibei shielding Tang Ya behind him, Xu Sanshi could only force a smile. Even while Tang Ya pointed at his nose and scolded him, he did not dare show the slightest hint of anger.

He really was worthy of being a turtle-type martial soul master. He could endure quite a lot.

"What did I do? I should be asking what you did to Nannan! She was already like that, and you still bullied her. Xu Sanshi, are you even human?!"

Unable to curse properly, Tang Ya could only raise her voice to express the fury in her heart.

"What happens between Nannan and me is not something you, Tang Ya, get to interfere in."

Xu Sanshi was only superficially polite to Tang Ya, and that was mainly out of consideration for Beibei.

Without Beibei, who did Tang Ya think she was?

The leader of a fallen sect, yet she really thought she was somebody?

"Nannan is my best friend. Bullying her is the same as bullying me."

The moment you chose to reason with a woman, you had already lost. Not to mention, Xu Sanshi had been in the wrong from the start.

Thus, the young sect master of the Mysterious Underworld Sect could only spread his hands and say, "Then tell me, how do you want to settle this?"

"How about this? You spar with Beibei. If you win, we'll pretend this never happened. If you lose, then take out ten or eight Mysterious Water Pills as compensation."

Although he and Beibei were both outstanding students of the Outer Academy, Xu Sanshi was a defense-type soul master, while Beibei was an assault-type soul master.

If the two of them sparred, Xu Sanshi would basically be treated like a spinning top getting whipped around by Beibei.

Xu Sanshi: Sigh... Looks like I can't avoid a beating.

"Tang Ya, do you think Mysterious Water Pills grow on trees? Ten or eight of them? I can give you three at most."

"Three is fine too."

Meanwhile, in the female dormitory for upper-year students—

Jiang Nannan sat up from her bed and walked over to the window.

At the same time, she picked up the "milk tea" Tang Ya had just brought her.

"When a girl is in a bad mood, she should eat something sweet."

"The same should apply to drinks, right?"

Jiang Nannan remembered the first time she had been upset. Tang Ya had comforted her in this very way and even brought her half a small cake.

Why only half?

Because the little cake had looked too delicious, and Tang Ya had been unable to resist eating half of it on the way.

Tang Ya: Am I really that greedy?! (Beibei was the first to agree.)

"Sweet iced milk?"

The moment the Raw Coconut Latte entered her mouth, its smooth texture, sweet flavor, and icy-cold temperature spread across her tongue.

"It's really good. When Tang Ya gets back, I should ask her where she bought it."

Whether coffee truly had a healing effect or because she had already cried earlier, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Nannan's face as she leaned against the window.

If the other Outer Academy students saw this scene, they would probably all be shocked.

Wasn't the aloof campus belle of the Outer Academy an ice cube? Since when had she learned to smile?

"Luckin Coffee?"

Only after finishing every drop in the cup did Jiang Nannan notice the blue deer logo and the name printed on it.

"But why are there so many ice cubes in this coffee? Did the owner grow up eating ice?"

Looking at the cup stuffed full of ice, Jiang Nannan could not help frowning.

"But the owner is really nice. Buying coffee even comes with a free cup of ice."

Jiang Nannan did not waste the remaining ice. She ran outside and poured herself some hot water.

Logically speaking, water over ninety degrees should have melted the ice immediately upon contact.

Yet the ice in the Luckin Coffee cup showed no sign of softening at all in the hot water. Instead, it remained as solid as ever.

"This ice is really good quality."

For a moment, Jiang Nannan did not know how to complain about it.

Meanwhile, after finishing her physical training class, Wang Dong returned to the classroom. Seeing the ice cubes in the Luckin Coffee cup on her desk without the slightest sign of melting, she too fell silent.

Wang Dong: Is this really still ice?

A victor had also been decided in the Soul Fighting Zone.

With their Soul Power Levels being the same, Xu Sanshi, a defense-type soul master, had almost no ability to fight back against Beibei, an assault-type soul master.

Still, Xu Sanshi's mouth remained as stubborn as ever.

Even after taking out three Mysterious Water Pills, he still had to talk big: "If your girlfriend hadn't been standing right here, and if I hadn't wanted to save you some face, I'd have beaten you until you called me Dad."

Tang Ya took the Mysterious Water Pills from Beibei. Whether for Beibei or Tang Ya herself, these Mysterious Water Pills were basically useless now.

The same was true for Jiang Nannan.

Still, Tang Ya decided to give the three Mysterious Water Pills to Jiang Nannan. After all, Jiang Nannan had just paid someone medical expenses, so she was surely short on money. Not to mention, she still had a sick mother at home who needed medicine.

Although the Mysterious Water Pill was merely a relatively basic pill from the Mysterious Underworld Sect, selling one for several thousand Gold Soul Coins would be easy enough.

As for Xiao Yuhao's Mysterious Water Pills?

No problem. The next time Xu Sanshi popped up, they could just have Beibei beat him up again.

Tang Ya: Oh my, who invented this thing called Xu Sanshi? Beat him up once, and he spits out a few Mysterious Water Pills.

Actually, given the cooperative relationship between Shrek Academy and the Mysterious Underworld Sect, the academy also provided resources like Mysterious Water Pills.

But as the saying went, why spend contribution points or Gold Soul Coins exchanging for them when looting them directly was faster?

A business with no capital was the most satisfying kind.
