Two Women Fight Over One Man

As the dismissal bell rang, the day's classes came to an end.

"Class monitor, let's go eat together."

Gu Shengge had just packed up his textbooks when a charming voice sounded beside him, inviting him to dinner.

Turning toward the voice, he saw Nanmen Yuner standing before him. Her exquisite, alluring face showed a hint of nervousness, while her fox-like eyes were filled with anticipation.

Gu Shengge offered her an apologetic look and shook his head, declining Nanmen Yuner. "I'm sorry, classmate Yuner, but I have plans this afternoon. Let's eat together tomorrow instead."

Hearing that, Nanmen Yuner assumed he had plans with Jiang Nannan and felt somewhat disappointed. But when she heard him say they could eat together tomorrow, a glimmer of light returned to her beautiful eyes.

She quickly nodded and watched Gu Shengge leave.

"Alright, stop staring. He's already gone."

Wu Feng appeared beside Nanmen Yuner and patted her shoulder, telling her to pull herself together. He had already gone far away; no matter how much she looked, the class monitor would not come back.

Ning Tian also shook her head helplessly.

As Gu Shengge exited the teaching building, he happened to encounter Jiang Nannan approaching from the purple teaching building. The rabbit ears atop the girl's head swayed gently as she walked, looking incomparably soft, and her faint fragrance drifted toward him.

Suddenly, an incomparably dazzling flash of red appeared, blocking Gu Shengge's path and Jiang Nannan's as well. It cut off the faint fragrance drifting over, replacing it with a far more domineering and intense scent—fiery hot, brimming with a passion that stirred the hormones and made it impossible to resist.

Gu Shengge was momentarily stunned, and his gaze shifted from Jiang Nannan to the red figure before him.

The newcomer was a mature, regal beauty with an exceptionally vivid head of red hair cascading over her shoulders and past her hips, flaunting itself like blazing Lie Yans.

A veil covered most of her face, revealing only a pair of seductive crimson phoenix eyes that regarded him with a hint of scrutiny. Her jade-like neck was snowy and slender, her fragrant shoulders exposed, and her fair skin carried a faint rosy tint.

She wore a red, fitted, low-cut spaghetti-strap gown that outlined her lush, graceful figure, ripe as a peach. Her jade arms were slender, her curves rose proudly, and a thin layer of black gauze over her chest concealed the bottomless cleavage beneath. Her waist was as slim as a water snake's, while the red phoenix-feather skirt tightly wrapped her round, full, enticing hips.

She also had a pair of round, straight, beautiful legs with proportions so perfect that not a fraction could be added or taken away. They were clad in red thigh-high stockings, and she wore golden high heels patterned with phoenixes.

The regal beauty was overflowing with dominance, blazing like fire, yet she also radiated an icy aloofness that kept others at arm's length. The contrast was immense, sending her allure soaring and giving off the feeling of both ice and fire.

"You're Gu Shengge?"

The regal beauty was none other than Ma Xiaotao. After looking him over, her rosy lips parted beneath the veil as she questioned him.

Gu Shengge nodded.

Seeing him admit it, Ma Xiaotao immediately grabbed his arm and forcibly dragged him away in full view of everyone, making the arriving Jiang Nannan anxious.

Even rabbits bit when they were desperate.

Two yellow and one purple Soul Rings rose beneath Jiang Nannan's feet. With her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul Possession activated, a faint glow spread over her long jade legs.

The girl bent her legs slightly before springing into the air and landing in front of Ma Xiaotao, blocking her path. Frost covered her pretty face as she said coldly, "Let go of Shengge!"

Seeing someone dare block her, Ma Xiaotao became displeased. Six Soul Rings floated beneath her feet as well—two yellow, two purple, and two black. She was clearly a Soul Emperor, and her powerful pressure bore down as she lightly rebuked Jiang Nannan.

"Move aside. I need to speak with him."

The pressure of a Soul Emperor made Jiang Nannan feel tremendous strain. Her chest tightened, and even breathing became difficult.

Yet she did not yield a single step. She stared coldly at Ma Xiaotao. Unless this woman explained where she intended to take Gu Shengge, she would never make way.

It was after school, and this scene of two women fighting over one man immediately drew the attention of a large number of students.

When they saw Jiang Nannan, the number one beauty of the Outer Court, competing with an unknown senior sister over the same man, the male students' eyes turned red with jealousy.

"Damn! Who is that guy? Why are goddesses fighting another woman over him? What's so great about him?!"

"That woman in red seems to be a senior sister from the Inner Court. I've seen her before. I'm so jealous! Why can't they fight over me?!"

"Stop talking! I want to kill that guy!"

"Together!"

"+1!"

Watching Gu Shengge get his hand held by a senior sister from the Inner Court, the male students were twisted beyond recognition by jealousy. They wished they could take Gu Shengge's place!

Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who had come looking for Huo Yuhao, also saw the scene and voiced their doubts.

"Why is Senior Sister Xiaotao confronting Jiang Nannan?"

Seeing more and more people gathering, Ma Xiaotao did not want to attract too much attention. She spoke to Jiang Nannan again. "Dean Yan wants to see Gu Shengge. I'm here to take him there."

Dean Yan? Upon hearing that name, Jiang Nannan immediately thought of the dean of the Martial Soul Department. She then looked at Gu Shengge for confirmation.

Gu Shengge nodded.

Jiang Nannan was silent for a moment before finally stepping aside.

Ma Xiaotao ignored the rabbit-eared girl and quickly led Gu Shengge away.

Hearing that Dean Yan had sent Ma Xiaotao to find Gu Shengge, Bei Bei was rather surprised. Could it be that Dean Yan wanted to recruit Gu Shengge into the Martial Soul Department ahead of schedule as a core disciple?

"Yuner, you have another rival now."

Seeing Ma Xiaotao lead Gu Shengge away, Wu Feng teased Nanmen Yuner. This was no ordinary opponent—a senior sister from the Inner Court and a six-ring Soul Emperor.

Nanmen Yuner's already fragile confidence suffered another blow.

Before long, news that Jiang Nannan, the number one beauty of the Outer Court, had fought with a senior sister from the Inner Court over the same man spread throughout Shrek's Outer Court. Gu Shengge was also thrust into the spotlight, and more people came to know of his existence.

Ma Xiaotao did not take Gu Shengge to the lake island where the Inner Court was located. Instead, she brought him to the office of the Outer Court Martial Soul Department's dean.

Inside the dean's office, Yan Shaozhe stood before the window, gazing at the evening scenery outside. A knock sounded by his ear, followed by Ma Xiaotao's voice from beyond the door.

"Teacher, I've brought Junior Brother Gu."

Yan Shaozhe turned around and said, "Come in."

Ma Xiaotao brought Gu Shengge into the office.

Upon seeing Yan Shaozhe, Gu Shengge gave a slight bow in greeting. Yan Shaozhe smiled and invited them both to sit.

"Sorry, Student Gu. Xiaotao nearly hurt you this morning. This is a small compensation from the academy. I hope you won't hold it against Xiaotao."

As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe took out another leather pouch and handed it to Gu Shengge. This left Gu Shengge deeply surprised. He had only been given a Soul Bone yesterday—why was he being given another one now?

Were Soul Bones free at Shrek?

Yan Shaozhe explained that this Soul Bone was called the Secret Art Soul Right Arm Bone. After fusing with it, one's Soul Power would increase by five percent. Furthermore, if one encountered two Soul Bones with similar attributes, this Soul Bone could allow them to fuse together.

It was the same type of Soul Bone that Mu Jin had lost to Zhou Yi in the original story.

Gu Shengge did not refuse and reached out to accept the Soul Bone.

"You're too kind, Dean Yan. Senior Sister Xiaotao did not do it intentionally. I don't blame her."

Hearing that Gu Shengge did not blame her, Ma Xiaotao quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The way she looked at the young man before her also softened considerably.
