Tang San's One Flirty Remark Set Rose Hotel Ablaze!

A lovely illustration for you.

"Let me have some fun with your two girls, and I'll give you the room!"

Tang San went all in, his voice ringing through the lobby at Dai Mubai's back!

The air froze!

Xiao Wu's eyes went wide, her cherry-red mouth forming an O! She stared at Tang San in disbelief—had he gone insane?!

Humiliation and a sense of betrayal shot straight to her head!

Dai Mubai's arm around the twins stiffened instantly!

A cold gleam burst from his evil eyes, his killing intent locking onto Tang San as if it were tangible!

The twins' seductive smiles froze as well. Their faces drained of color, and they clung to each other in fear and anger!

Dai Mubai flew into a rage! His right fist shot out like a cannonball, driving straight at Tang San's face without any flourish!

The attack was fierce, seasoned, and ruthless!

Tang San's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly activated his Mysterious Jade Hands to block with all his strength!

But—

"Tang San! Go die!"

Xiao Wu's tearful scream exploded through the hall!

Her jealousy and fury were completely ignited!

Soul power and humiliation flooded her slender right leg, transforming it into the Death-Scorpion Tail Whip as she viciously kicked Tang San's completely defenseless—butt!

"Urgh!"

Tang San's stance was empty. Amid searing pain and shame, his body lost control and lunged forward like a cannonball!

His target? Dai Mubai's iron fist, already right before his eyes!

Bang!!!

The dull impact boomed like thunder!

Tang San's face slammed solidly, squarely, into Dai Mubai's fist!

The image seemed to freeze: Tang San's body was twisted by the enormous force into an exaggerated ">" shape!

His face snapped backward from the punch, while his butt surged forward from the kick! His expression was a mix of agony, shock, and humiliation so intense he wanted to die!

Everyone sucked in a breath! The hall fell deathly silent!

The anticipated clash of dragons and tigers had turned into an earth-shattering public humiliation!

Dai Mubai's fist froze in midair, his evil eyes blank with bewilderment—what... the hell was that?

Xiao Wu's kicking foot hung in the air as her fury was replaced by panic and regret. Her eyes reddened instantly—I... what did I do?!

Tang San clutched his aching, bleeding nose, rubbed his burning butt, and looked at the bewildered Dai Mubai before him and the nearly crying Xiao Wu behind him...

Shame, pain, and the feeling of social death washed over him like a tsunami!

He had made a fool of himself in another world!

In the corner, Lin Jiang clamped both hands over his mouth, his body convulsing wildly with suppressed laughter!

His forehead pressed against the table, his shoulders shook, and tears flew from his eyes!

He roared inwardly:

"Hahaha! Karma! Instant karma! He caught Dai Mubai's heavy punch with his face! And Xiao Wu kicked him into it! God-tier teamwork! So satisfying! A million times better than the original! Xiao Wu is awesome!"

[ Ding! Tang San has completed the mission! Feedback reward settlement: Foundation Establishment Pill ×1! ]

The prompt instantly stopped Lin Jiang's laughter, and his pupils shook!

[Foundation Establishment Pill: Seizes the wonders of heaven and earth! Permanently raises one's innate soul power to full level! (Effective only below innate soul power level 10)]

"Holy shit?!!" Lin Jiang's heart pounded wildly as ecstasy flooded his entire body!

It directly raised him to full innate soul power?! This reward was a hundred times more heaven-defying than a Soul Ascension Pill!

Lin Jiang immediately sank his consciousness into the control space!

Inside the space, beside one hundred Gold Soul Coins, floated a pill the size of a longan, smooth and warm like jade!

A blue-green glow flowed across its surface, radiating immense life energy and triggering resonance with the soul power in his body!

"I've struck it rich! A truly heaven-defying treasure!" Lin Jiang's soul trembled with excitement!

The Foundation Establishment Pill! It could raise innate soul power to full innate soul power! Effective for anyone below innate level 10!

His innate soul power was only level 5, practically trash compared to the monsters at Shrek Academy!

This pill was a divine hammer capable of shattering the shackles on his talent!

"After I eat it, my innate soul power will be level 10!"

A sharp glint flashed through Lin Jiang's eyes as he swallowed it at once!

"Tang San, Tang San, that little stunt of catching a fist with your face was so worth it! Keep up the good work!"

Meanwhile, over with Tang San,

With blood streaming from his nose, his butt throbbing in agony, and his social death complete, Tang San fled in disgrace with the furious, regretful, red-eyed Xiao Wu under the strange stares of the entire hall!

Dai Mubai remained rooted in place, staring at the fist that had "brutally struck" Tang San. His evil eyes were blank and stifled—winning felt even worse than losing!

He irritably waved his hand. "Bad luck! Let's go!" Then he strode away as well, his arms around the bewildered twins.

That romantic "sea of red" was left completely ignored.

Having witnessed everything, Lin Jiang's lips curled up pleasantly. "A perfect ending to harvest day!"

By evening, inside a crude wooden hut.

"Ah... if I can lie down, why would I cultivate?" Lin Jiang flopped onto the bed with a satisfied groan.

With the cheat in hand, the world was his! Let tool-man Tang San risk his life while he lay around collecting huge rewards—now that was living!

"Tomorrow, Tang San and Xiao Wu will enroll at Shrek Academy... and the good shows will just keep coming!"

Mischievous light gleamed in his eyes. "I absolutely have to watch! And I'll arrange a few more 'wonderful' missions for Tool-Man Number One!"

The sun was high in the sky.

Lin Jiang strolled over to the shabby gates of Shrek Academy.

Amid the villagers' onlooking, he caught sight of them from afar:

Dai Mubai led Tang San and Xiao Wu through the wooden gate toward the examination area in the central clearing.

After giving a few instructions, Dai Mubai eagerly swept his gaze toward somewhere else—looking for Zhu Zhuqing—then hurried away.

Tang San and Xiao Wu joined the line of new students.

Xiao Wu looked around curiously, her scorpion braid swaying lightly, while Tang San observed everything steadily.

"Selling sausages~ Sausages for sale~"

A soft, lazy male voice, deliberately affected and coquettish, suddenly rang out!

"Oscar-brand Sausage~ Delicious and sweet! Five copper coins each! Eat one, and your soul power will be brimming—you'll definitely pass the test~"

The voice immediately drew the attention of the students in line, including Xiao Wu.

Lin Jiang glanced to the side. Beneath the shade of a tree stood a crude cart carrying the aroma of grilled meat, and several new students taking the entrance examination had already gathered around to buy some.

Behind the cart stood a sausage seller.

He wore gray cloth clothes faded from washing. His hair was trimmed fairly neatly, but he had paired it with a thick, unruly beard that covered almost half his face.

Yet the most eye-catching thing was the pair of eyes peeking out from that beard—they were large, peach-blossom eyes!

At that moment, those eyes darted about restlessly, scanning the line of new students with unnerving precision as they lingered on the young girls,

especially Xiao Wu, cute and charming as she was. His gaze stayed on her for several extra seconds.

That rugged, unrestrained, scruffy appearance, paired with a deliberately pinched voice as soft and coy as a woman acting spoiled...

The intense contrast made Lin Jiang's mouth twitch violently, and he inwardly ranted:

"Damn! It didn't feel like much when I read the descriptions in the novel, but seeing it in person... Oscar is way too sleazy!"

"That gaze, that voice... unbelievable! He's basically a hooligan wearing the skin of a rough-looking man!"

Just then, Lin Jiang saw that Tang San seemed drawn in by the fragrance. Or perhaps he wanted to calm Xiao Wu, who was looking around everywhere. Either way, he actually walked toward the sausage stall.

Almost at the same time, Dai Mubai approached as well, leading the black-clad girl with the voluptuous figure and frosty face—Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing looked straight ahead, her aura cold and detached, utterly out of place amid the surrounding bustle.

"Anyone who skips a good show is a bastard!"

Lin Jiang chuckled and immediately slipped inconspicuously deeper into the crowd. He found a spot where he could clearly see Oscar's stall without drawing too much attention, then eagerly settled in as a spectator.

Tang San walked up to the little cart, seemingly preparing to take out money and buy one.

However, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing happened to arrive right in front of them as well.

Dai Mubai clearly saw Tang San's movement. He frowned and immediately stopped him. "Tang San, don't buy it!"

Tang San paused, looking at Dai Mubai in confusion.
