Close Words Between Best Friends

"I didn't expect Dai Mubai to hold back even after being treated like that in front of Zhu Zhuqing. It seems he's not so simple after all."

On the way to Heaven Dou City, Wang Feng pondered what had just happened.

He had indeed intended to provoke Dai Mubai further and make him attack, but who knew that he would actually endure it? Wang Feng was somewhat disappointed, yet also surprised. After all, not just anyone could tolerate watching their fiancée get intimate with someone else right in front of them.

Perhaps only Dai Mubai could.

"Dai Mubai is a prince of the Star Luo Empire. Now that I've thoroughly offended him, becoming friends is impossible. Looks like I'll need to find an opportunity to get rid of him."

"And if I want Zhu Zhuqing, I'll have to get rid of him too."

Wang Feng was determined to have the cold and beautiful Zhu Zhuqing. That useless Dai Mubai would only be an obstacle on his path to claiming the little cat.

Besides, that scum who had abandoned his fiancée, come to Suotuo City to indulge himself, and even played with twins out in the wild did not deserve Zhu Zhuqing at all.

Getting rid of Dai Mubai and letting his enemy, his elder brother Dai Weisi, take his place seemed even better.

In the original story, the reason Dai Mubai had been able to defeat his elder brother in the Soul Master finals was because he had consumed Immortal Herbs. Without them, he was nothing.

At that thought, Wang Feng began eyeing the Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

The simplest way to obtain the Immortal Herbs was to get close to Dugu Yan, help her resolve the poison in her body, and then approach Poison Douluo.

That was also one of Wang Feng's reasons for wanting to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Wang Feng had once considered scheming for the Immortal Herbs as Tang San had in the original story, but the original story was still only the original story. This world was no longer the original story. If he acted according to its plot, he feared he would only meet a miserable death.

"Still, I only recognize a few kinds of Immortal Herbs from the original story, and I don't know their details. At best, I have a rough idea. If I want the Immortal Herbs, I'll need a catalog of them."

On Douluo Continent, the person with the most comprehensive knowledge of Immortal Herbs was undoubtedly Chrysanthemum Douluo of Spirit Hall. But Wang Feng had no way to get acquainted with Chrysanthemum Douluo right now.

"Looks like I'll have to plan this matter carefully."

"I'll join Heaven Dou Royal Academy first, then consider the rest."

"Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy only accepts nobles, they should make an exception based on my talent. If I really can't get in, I'll just try another academy."

Having made up his mind, Wang Feng hurried toward Heaven Dou City.

While Wang Feng was heading to Heaven Dou City,

Zhu Zhuqing had successfully entered Shrek Academy.

A day later, in the Shrek Academy office, Flender, who had returned to the academy, was stunned after hearing Zhao Wuji speak of Wang Feng.

"You're saying that a little monster whose talent was no worse than Tang San's left?"

Tang San was the disciple of his good brother Yu Xiaogang. The fact that Yu Xiaogang had accepted him as a disciple showed just how outstanding his talent was.

"That's right. And that brat was incredibly strong. He even took three moves from me."

As Zhao Wuji spoke, he too found it regrettable. If that brat had joined Shrek Academy, their goal of participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament would have become much easier.

"Mm, you said just now that Mubai's fiancée came too, and that she saw Mubai bringing a pair of twins to have fun at the academy entrance?" Flender caught the key point and asked.

"Uh, that's right. I never expected Mubai to dare do something like that either."

Twins at the entrance of Shrek Academy—this brat certainly knew how to play.

Smack!

Flender slammed his palm onto the desk, his face full of fury. "Playing with twins, and even bringing them to the academy entrance? Is that brat trying to turn the heavens upside down? Call him here immediately."

Seeing Flender's anger, Zhao Wuji could only feel sorry for Dai Mubai's fate.

Not long after, Dai Mubai arrived outside the office. Feeling extremely guilty, he hesitated for a moment before finally going in.

"Dean, y-you wanted me?" So guilty that he did not even dare raise his head.

"Very good! You little brat. I could overlook you fooling around outside normally, but this time, you actually brought them back to the academy—and they were twins! Are you trying to rebel?"

"Dean, I..."

"What do you mean, 'I'? That Zhu Zhuqing is your fiancée, isn't she? And she caught you red-handed. You little brat, you really are..."

The more he spoke, the angrier Flender became. He truly wanted to slap Dai Mubai right then and there.

"Go. Run ten laps around the village immediately. No Soul Power. And if you dare fool around again in the future, I'll..."

Flender, ever protective of his students, could not bring himself to hit Dai Mubai, so he could only punish him by making him run.

"Ah! Ten laps, and without Soul Power?" Dai Mubai groaned miserably. His physique was only average. With Soul Power and soul skills, he was a powerful assault-type Soul Master, but without them, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.

Shrek Academy was built in a village. Wouldn't ten laps exhaust him to death?

Flender glared at him. "What, you think that's too little?"

"No, no. I'll go right away."

Dai Mubai knew the dean's temperament. If he argued any further, he would only receive a harsher punishment.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were both in Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory.

"Zhuqing, how did it feel when you did that with Wang Feng on that old gnarled tree earlier?" Ning Rongrong asked Zhu Zhuqing curiously.

"Not good." Zhu Zhuqing answered coldly. Would she tell Ning Rongrong that she had been forced?

"I don't believe you. Dai Mubai was watching yesterday, and so were we, yet you were still completely absorbed in kissing Wang Feng. There must have been something special about it. Tell us, Zhuqing. We're sisters, not outsiders."

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Zhu Zhuqing recalled how Wang Feng had forcibly kissed her yesterday. She had leaned against that old gnarled tree, tightly held in Wang Feng's arms, while her fiancé Dai Mubai watched from the side. The thought filled her with shame and anger. She shook her head and did not answer Ning Rongrong.

Her heart was in turmoil now. From what she had observed over the past few days, Dai Mubai had truly disappointed her.

She had thought Dai Mubai would come here and train diligently, but everything was far too different from what she had imagined. Even that tiny bit of hope she had held for him was gradually dying out.

"Looks like I can't count on him." Zhu Zhuqing murmured.

"Him? Zhuqing, are you talking about that lecherous tiger? Let me tell you, when I came to Suotuo City a few days ago, that lecherous tiger was still playing with women in the city."

Recalling how she had encountered Dai Mubai when she first came to Suotuo City, Xiao Wu immediately exposed his misdeeds.

The more she heard, the greater the disappointment in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes became.

"Mm, I heard Oscar mention it too. Dai Mubai has played with plenty of women here over the years, often going to brothels with Ma Hongjun to fool around."

Just as in the original story, Oscar had fallen for Ning Rongrong, and he told her everything she asked.

However, Ning Rongrong did not like Oscar. She had merely learned some information from him.

"A person like that doesn't deserve you at all, Zhuqing."

"I agree with Xiao Wu."

Ning Rongrong had never liked Dai Mubai to begin with, so she was more than happy to badmouth him.

The words of close girlfriends carried far more weight than those of others. After Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong took turns belittling him, Zhu Zhuqing was once again deeply disappointed in Dai Mubai. She even began considering leaving.

If Wang Feng had known about this, he would definitely have praised Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. They truly were the best girlfriends in the world. Their assist had been absolutely flawless.
