An Encounter with the Shrek Five Monsters; Mubai and the Fatty Were in for a Miserable Time

In the end, the two rented a double room.

After checking out the room upstairs, they came down to the first-floor hall and found an empty window seat, planning to have dinner before going back up.

Lu Yuan called over a waiter, casually ordered a few dishes from the menu, and handed it back.

As night gradually fell, many Soul Masters traveling to and from the Great Star Dou Forest streamed into the town and stopped at this small inn to rest.

Just then, six people suddenly entered through the door—five men and one woman, all highly distinctive in appearance.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. He had actually run into that guy.

Tang San.

The other five were probably Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shrek Academy's team-leading teacher.

He had not expected their trip to the Great Star Dou Forest to hunt Soul Rings to coincide with his own.

He could not help looking at Zhu Zhuqing a few more times.

He suddenly recalled a video he had seen on Douyin in his previous life. Its topic had been, "Which of the Shrek Seven Monsters would be easiest to replace?"

When he opened the comments, he saw someone named Yu Xiaogang pop up and leave a comment: "Zhu Zhuqing is the hottest, so she can't be replaced."

Even an old bandage like him had nearly burst his bandages.

Thinking of that, Lu Yuan subconsciously glanced at Dugu Yan, who had her head resting on his shoulder, then secretly looked at Zhu Zhuqing in the distance.

He wondered which of those two girls was hotter.

The Shrek Academy teacher rented a room for himself and went upstairs.

The other five students remained in the first-floor hall, sitting around a dining table as they called over a waiter and began ordering.

Ma Hongjun ordered more than a dozen dishes, then his shifty eyes began wandering around the hall in search of pretty girls.

Very quickly, he noticed Dugu Yan leaning against Lu Yuan's shoulder. Her lazy posture made his eyes light up.

"Boss Dai, look at that chick leaning on the pretty boy's shoulder. She's not bad. How about we call her over to keep us company?"

Ma Hongjun did not deliberately lower his voice, and his shifty eyes remained fixed on Dugu Yan.

For someone his age, more mature girls were clearly extremely attractive. Coupled with the Evil Fire in his body, his eyes gleamed as he stared relentlessly at her.

Soul Masters had far sharper hearing than ordinary people. Lu Yuan and Dugu Yan were both level-fifty Quasi-Soul Kings, so they naturally heard his frivolous remark clearly and turned their gazes toward Ma Hongjun.

That dead chicken fatty is looking to die, daring to provoke me...

Lu Yuan's expression turned icy. He rose to his feet, took Dugu Yan's hand, and prepared to teach them a lesson they would never forget.

Dai Mubai sneered. "Fatty, those words of yours pissed off that pretty boy."

Ma Hongjun curled his lip. "He's just a pretty boy. What the hell is there to be afraid of?"

"That guy seems to be... Lu Yuan?!"

Tang San looked at the youth walking toward them step by step. He found him somewhat familiar, and after studying him carefully for a moment, his expression suddenly changed.

"Lu Yuan? Third Brother, you know that pretty boy?" Seeing Tang San's expression, Ma Hongjun immediately felt a trace of unease.

"Was that you, you dead fatty, who said that just now?"

Lu Yuan had already reached the Shrek Five's table. His expression was cold, his gaze locked on Ma Hongjun.

"So what if it was? I said it. What the hell are you acting so tough for?"

Suppressing the unease in his heart, Ma Hongjun threw back his head and shouted.

He figured Lu Yuan did not look very old. There were five of them here, so there was no need to fear him.

A chill flashed through Dugu Yan's eyes, and a faintly mocking smile curled her lips. "Little fatty, you're quite arrogant."

Ma Hongjun had not realized the severity of the situation at all. He sneered, "What? Can't I say a couple of things?"

"I'm much better than your man. Beauty, how about you come keep me company?"

Lu Yuan's face darkened. Without another word, he raised his leg and kicked straight at Ma Hongjun's crotch.

With a dull thud, blood instantly spread across his groin.

"Ah—"

Piercing pain struck, and Ma Hongjun's body suddenly doubled over as both hands clutched tightly at his crotch.

Tang San and the others' expressions changed drastically. None of them had expected Lu Yuan's kick to be so fast; they had not even had a chance to stop it.

The inn hall instantly fell silent as every gaze converged on them.

"Courting death!"

Dai Mubai flew into a rage and activated Martial Soul Possession. The muscles in his arms bulged, his strength surged, and he threw a punch at Lu Yuan.

He had suffered plenty of frustration from Zhu Zhuqing these past few days, and he had long been holding in a bellyful of anger.

Lu Yuan had blatantly kicked Ma Hongjun's balls apart. It was no different from provoking Shrek outright. How could Dai Mubai not be furious?

"You want to become a eunuch too?"

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed as he raised a hand and caught Dai Mubai's incoming fist.

Another dull impact rang out. Dai Mubai felt as if his fist had been clamped in a giant pair of pincers. A sharp pain shot through his bones, and all the strength in his body was completely locked down.

Seeing Dai Mubai restrained, Tang San did not hesitate any longer. The second Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up as he shouted angrily, "Bluesilver Thrust!"

A mutated Blue Silver Grass shot up from the ground like a sharp spear, stabbing directly at Lu Yuan.

His second Soul Ring had come from a five-hundred-year Widow Giant Spider. After absorbing it, the Blue Silver Grass had advanced further in the direction of hardening, nearly losing its binding properties and becoming, as a whole, a sharpened, poisonous bamboo pole.

That was how Blue Silver Grass was—weak, without a fixed form, but highly malleable.

"Oh? Blue Silver Grass?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, dragged Dai Mubai backward in a rapid retreat, and avoided the poisonous spear. At the same time, he deliberately shifted direction, causing the spear to stab Dai Mubai instead.

"Argh!"

Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically, his eyes widening as excruciating pain spread through his entire body.

Just like Ma Hongjun, blood spread across his groin...

Seeing this, Lu Yuan released the hand gripping Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai hurriedly freed both hands, doubled over, and clutched tightly at his crotch.

Thus, Shrek's two greatest whoremongers both bent over in full view of everyone, clutching their groins as they screamed in agony.

The crowd watching nearby erupted in an uproar.

Quite a few male Soul Masters tensed all over, phantom pain inexplicably flaring up in their own groins.

"Boss Dai!"

Tang San and Oscar's expressions changed drastically, their faces full of anxious concern.

Zhu Zhuqing stood frozen in place. Looking at the horrific scene before her, she felt as though her heart had gone completely dark.

Back then, she had desperately escaped the Star Luo Empire and traveled all the way to Shrek Academy precisely to find Dai Mubai. She had intended to grow stronger alongside him and join forces with him to seize the Star Luo Empire's right of succession.

But now, it seemed that Dai Mubai no longer even had that thing. Even if he somehow won, he would probably have no chance at the throne.

Besides, their chances of defeating Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun had been slim to begin with.

She could practically only wait for death.

Naturally, Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling to simply die like this.

There was no longer any point in remaining at Shrek.

She had already begun considering leaving. Even if she found some remote mountain village and hid there under an assumed name, she might still be able to preserve her life.
