After saying that, Dai Mubai could not help but spit. Yes, when it came to cursing people, those were the only two lines this bastard knew.

Tang San nodded. Although he had not joined in cursing Zhu Zhuqing, a satisfied smile had already appeared on his hypocritical face.

That was right. Dai Mubai's answer had just made Tang San feel that he had not helped this Boss Dai for nothing.

This way, all the resources of the Star Luo Empire would be at his disposal in the future.

Founding a sect was easy, but maintaining it for the long term was no simple matter.

But as long as Dai Mubai was willing to help—

Then whether it was funds, manpower, weapons and equipment, or materials for forging hidden weapons in the future...

These resources were inexhaustible for the Star Luo Empire. Even the Heaven Dou Empire was far inferior in terms of metal resources and iron ore development.

Tang San had his eye on precisely that. He was a hypocrite who valued profit above all else; he would never do anything that offered him no benefit.

Therefore, every time Tang San acted, it was bound to come with gains. That was how Xiao Wu's spirit ring had come to be. If Ye Chen had not transmigrated here, Da Ming and Er Ming's spirit rings would also have been taken by that hypocrite in the future.

Inside the room.

After a full day and night passed, when it was time for her appointment with Ye Chen, Zhu Zhuqing quietly left the hotel alone and headed for the place where she had previously met the Byakugan girl, Hinata Hyuga.

Along the way, Zhu Zhuqing kept testing her surroundings. Only after confirming that no one was following her did she enter that remote little path.

Sure enough, Ye Chen was already waiting for her there.

Ye Chen had once again appeared as Hinata Hyuga. There was no helping it; only this way could he successfully lure Zhu Zhuqing in.

Ye Chen had already found an abandoned house. Once they got there, he planned to create a clone and have it play Hinata Hyuga while he returned to his true form and took Zhu Zhuqing to the Six Paths of Pain's base.

Pain and Konan were already waiting for Zhu Zhuqing at the base.

After discussing it with Konan last night, Konan felt that joining the Akatsuki Organization should not be too easy.

Thus, Ye Chen decided that after Zhu Zhuqing met Pain, she could first become a provisional member of the Akatsuki Organization and be granted a Curse Mark. That could be considered one of the strongest powers he could give her.

So how would Zhu Zhuqing go from being a provisional member to officially joining the Akatsuki Organization?

It was actually simple. She only needed to personally kill one of her companions and prove her loyalty to Pain. Then she would pass.

In other words, Ye Chen would control Pain and require Zhu Zhuqing to kill one of the Shrek Eight Monsters other than herself within a set period of time. No matter how she killed them, it would count as passing the test.

As for who she would kill first, that would depend on Zhu Zhuqing's own choice.

Ye Chen guessed that if Zhu Zhuqing truly accepted this test, Tang San could not possibly be her first target. Tang San was too strong, and she did not have the ability to kill him.

Nor would it be Dai Mubai or Ma Hongjun... after all, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were not easy to deal with either.

The person she was most likely to target should be Bai Chenxiang... because among the Shrek Eight Monsters, Bai Chenxiang was currently the weakest. Moreover, Bai Chenxiang had little to do with her, so Zhu Zhuqing would not feel as bad about making a move against her.

Of course, that was only Ye Chen's guess. He could not predict what choice Zhu Zhuqing would make when the time came.

As he pondered this, Ye Chen looked up and saw that Zhu Zhuqing had already arrived before him.

Watching Zhu Zhuqing from up close, Ye Chen noticed that she seemed much more haggard these past few days. Her chubby cheeks were deathly pale, and her eyes seemed somewhat red and swollen.

Ye Chen quickly took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and greeted her warmly in Hinata Hyuga's uniquely gentle voice.

"Big Sister Zhu Zhuqing, what happened to you?"

Looking at the Byakugan girl before her, the pain and despair in Zhu Zhuqing's heart surged like a flood. She suddenly wrapped her arms tightly around Ye Chen, rested her cheek against his shoulder, and pressed herself closely against him.

But she did not cry. She merely said in a cold voice.

"You were right, Hinata. It is not just Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun... everyone else is the same. They all deserve to die."

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised her face. Her eyes brimmed with killing intent as she said to Ye Chen,

"I have figured it out... no matter what price I must pay, I will kill the true culprit, Tang San. I will kill Dai Mubai. I will kill everyone in Shrek."

Looking into Zhu Zhuqing's bloodshot eyes, Ye Chen nodded seriously and said,

"Mm... in that case, I will take you to meet my brother, Achen. They should pay the price for what they have done."
