Mysterious Little Pills

Facing a Soul Saint, especially Chaotianxiang when her lover was not by her side, she could only invoke her lover's name.

Flender sneered disdainfully.

Shrek Academy was extremely well hidden, and he ordinarily did not like going out casually.

Even if the Dragon Duke wanted revenge, he lacked the means to do so.

First, he did not know Flender's name. Second, he did not know the name of Shrek Academy.

What could he use to take revenge?

Even if the Dragon Duke truly found out, he should not forget that the Grandmaster of theory was still at his academy—and that man was Flender's good brother!

With his good brother's reputation, plus his status as the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's leader—

Had the Dragon Duke drunk himself stupid? Would he dare seek revenge against them?

"Hehe, if the Dragon Duke were here today, I might have avoided him, but sadly, he isn't."

A savage smile appeared on Flender's face.

In truth, he was not interested in either Meng Yiran or Chaotianxiang.

What truly interested him was their purse.

Even if they had not brought much with them, just a small portion would be enough for Shrek Academy to spend freely for quite some time.

Chaotianxiang closed her eyes.

The utterly fearless expression on Flender's face was not an act.

He truly knew that the Dragon Duke was not here!

"Then what exactly will it take for you to let my granddaughter and me go?"

"If you intend to handle this as your student suggested earlier, then even if this old woman has to risk her life, I will tear a piece of flesh from you!"

Chaotianxiang viciously slammed the serpent staff in her hand against the ground, looking as though she truly was prepared to perish together with Flender.

"Grandmother."

Behind her, Meng Yiran watched the scene, her heart filled with guilt.

It was all because of her! If her grandparents had not come out specifically to hunt her third spirit ring this time, they would not have been separated, nor would they have encountered this situation.

Chaotianxiang reached back and held her granddaughter's little hand. Though she said nothing, it was a silent comfort.

The corners of Flender's mouth lifted, and he looked every bit the shrewd, unscrupulous merchant.

"Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins. If it is any less than fifty thousand, whether your granddaughter can remain a virgin is something even this academy head cannot say."

"And do you truly believe that a mere Soul Emperor can stir up much trouble before me?"

After Flender spoke, the owl behind him let out a cry laced with a trace of soul power.

As soon as the sound rang out, the surrounding tables, chairs, and benches shattered into pieces.

Chaotianxiang forcibly endured the discomfort in her mind and protected her granddaughter with all her might.

"Fine! I'll pay. Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins, not one coin less or more."

Chaotianxiang turned around. On closer inspection, her eyes were bloodshot.

"Here are thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins. The remaining twenty thousand will be covered by these jewels!"

Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins was no small sum, but compared to her granddaughter's life and safety, it was not worth mentioning.

Chaotianxiang threw out ten bags filled with Gold Soul Coins, totaling exactly thirty thousand.

Then, Chaotianxiang threw out three pieces of jewelry worth twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Taking the Gold Soul Coins and jewelry, Flender's expression immediately turned smug.

His goal had been achieved, though he regretted asking for too little.

"The fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins have been given to you. I hope you will keep your word."

With that, Chaotianxiang led her granddaughter directly out of the inn.

From the second floor, Lu Li, who had watched the entire spectacle, only had one thing to say.

Pah! Scumbag.

What a fine example of "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities."

Then why, in the original story, did everyone from Shrek turn into cowards when they encountered Dugu Bo?

Wasn't this simply bullying the weak while fearing the strong?

If Meng Shu had been here today, would Flender still have dared to be so arrogant?

He would not even have dared to show himself.

Normally, Lu Li did not want to meddle in such matters when he came across them.

But this time was different!

This had been caused by the people of Shrek Academy!

Since it was something the people of Shrek Academy had caused, he naturally had to intervene.

Lu Li rose and headed straight after Chaotianxiang and Meng Yiran.

"Teacher! You're just letting them off that easily?"

Ma Hongjun was deeply dissatisfied inside the inn.

Why? A mere fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins had bribed his teacher?

Flender shot Ma Hongjun a glance and irritably smacked his disciple on the head.

"Keep your Evil Fire under control from now on. If we had not been lucky today, do you think getting one leg pierced through would have been all that happened to you?"

As Flender spoke, he used soul power to give the wounds on Ma Hongjun's and Dai Mubai's thighs some simple treatment.

"Enough. You two endure it for now. Once we return to the academy, I'll find healing-type soul masters for you."

"Oscar, you stay behind tomorrow and take care of the two of them. Xiaosan, Xiao Wu, do you have a chance of defeating a thousand-year soul beast?"

Originally, Flender had wanted Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others to practice their team coordination this time. But now that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had lost their combat ability, while Oscar needed to stay behind and care for them—

The task of hunting a soul beast naturally fell solely upon Tang San and Xiao Wu.

For a Quasi-Soul Elder and a Soul Grandmaster, hunting a thousand-year soul beast was undoubtedly an enormous challenge.

"Don't worry, Dean. We have a strong chance against a soul beast around a thousand years old."

Tang San immediately nodded. With the coordination between Xiao Wu and himself, killing a thousand-year soul beast would not be too difficult.

Xiao Wu nodded as well.

If she still showed reluctance to harm soul beasts now, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

Having settled everything, Flender headed directly toward his room.

Meanwhile, Lu Li had already stopped the departing Chaotianxiang and Meng Yiran.

"Who are you, sir? Why have you blocked the path of my granddaughter and me?"

Chaotianxiang shielded Meng Yiran behind her, staring solemnly at Lu Li, who stood before them.

But the true reason for her grave expression was Dragon One standing beside Lu Li.

"My spiritual power swept over him, yet it feels as though he does not exist. But he is clearly standing right here. What level of cultivation is this?"

Lu Li smiled, glanced at the solemn-faced Chaotianxiang, and gestured for her not to be nervous.

"Grandmother, I mean no harm. I merely saw that group being so domineering and bullying others through their power in the inn, and it displeased me."

The wrinkles on Chaotianxiang's forehead deepened.

She could not understand it. Had this child, who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, stopped her just to say that?

"Whatever you wish to say, sir, please say it plainly."

"Dragon One, show her a little of your strength."

Lu Li cast a look at Dragon One beside him.

The next moment, Dragon One's formerly calm aura suddenly changed, becoming like an overwhelming mountain-and-sea tide as it swept toward Chaotianxiang.

Faced with Dragon One's level ninety-seven aura, Chaotianxiang's expression immediately changed.

Though she did not know exactly how strong Dragon One was, she knew that even the aura released by her lover, a Soul Douluo powerhouse, was not one-tenth as powerful as the man before her!

Title Douluo!

Those four words exploded in Chaotianxiang's mind.

Other than a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, she could not imagine what kind of expert could release an aura so vastly beyond that of her Soul Douluo lover.

Lu Li did not give Chaotianxiang a chance to speak. Instead, he continued, "These two pills..."

"They will make someone temporarily lose their reason, leaving them focused only on carrying out the most primal act. Take them and find that group. Feed them to the two men who molested your granddaughter. After they swallow them, for the next two hours, those two will follow their most primal desires—even if they are both men."
