Qin Ming's expression turned rather unpleasant.
As a graduate of Shrek Academy, he could now only watch helplessly as Zhao Wuji suffered severe injuries.
He wanted to lose his temper.
But who could he vent his anger on?
With a sweep of his sleeve, he returned, full of rage, to support Zhao Wuji.
I can't manage this Heaven Dou Royal Team anymore. When we get back, I'll resign to the Three Education Commissioners. Su Chen, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling—none of them obey discipline. They're arrogant and vile, not worth my effort to cultivate.
He helped Zhao Wuji to his feet.
Zhao Wuji had been burned black like charcoal, and his internal organs were still searing with pain. The moment he coughed up blood, it instantly ignited.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
He called out hoarsely:
"Little Ao, sausage."
Oscar, who was stuffing Recovery Big Sausages into Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San's mouths, hurried over to Zhao Wuji and made a whole pile of Recovery Big Sausages for him.
Zhao Wuji wolfed down the sausages. His injuries recovered a little, but the burning pain within his body did not lessen in the slightest.
He felt deeply aggrieved.
He secretly glared at Su Chen, yet did not dare curse him openly. Instead, he turned to glare at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were completely unharmed.
"Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, are you still members of Shrek Academy? Why did you stand by and do nothing while Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San were beaten?"
Hearing the rebuke, Ning Rongrong's young miss temper flared as well. She put her hands on her hips, looking utterly imperious.
"They went looking for a beating themselves. Why should I help them?"
"What happened was that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun egged Tang San on to provoke others. They failed to beat anyone up and got beaten instead."
Zhao Wuji's eyes widened. "You are also a member of Shrek Academy. Even if you die, you must defend Shrek Academy's collective honor!"
Ning Rongrong could no longer hold herself back. As the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Zhao Wuji actually expected her to defend Shrek Academy's damned honor with her life.
She raised a slender finger and pointed it at Zhao Wuji, looking as though she were about to explode with rage.
"Zhao Wuji, listen to me!"
"I, Ning Rongrong, am quitting your Shrek Academy right now. Yesterday, I thought there was something wrong with me. Today, I realized that all of you are the ones with problems."
"Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Yesterday, you criticized me until I was worthless. Yet what you've done today is a hundred times worse than anything I did."
When a woman truly hardened her heart, she would wish for you to fall through all eighteen levels of hell.
Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes. She intended to deal Shrek Academy another fatal blow.
"Zhuqing, come with me."
"This Shrek Academy isn't worth staying in."
A trace of hesitation appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold, iceberg-like face. "Rongrong, I know you mean well."
"I can't stand Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun either, but I have my own difficulties. I need to grow stronger at Shrek Academy. Only by becoming stronger can I possibly survive."
Ning Rongrong fell into thought. Dai Mubai, White Tiger Wuhun. Zhu Zhuqing, Nether Civet Martial Soul.
As the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she knew a little about the affairs of the Star Luo Empire.
As for Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong wanted nothing more than for him to die. How could she possibly be willing to watch him win over a beauty?
"Zhuqing, come with me. I'll take you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Those messes in your family can't reach our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Do you really think staying at Shrek Academy can make you stronger?"
"You heard what Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun said just now. They planned to force the issue. You might even end up becoming their plaything."
"Let's go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I can get us spots there. You saw how strong that handsome guy is—Soul Ancestor against Soul Sage. That's the place that can truly make us stronger."
Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face turned icy. Seemingly recalling something, she shot Dai Mubai a vicious glare.
"Alright, Rongrong. I'll go with you."
"Zhao Wuji, I'm quitting Shrek Academy too."
Zhao Wuji trembled with anger. They had come out to hunt spirit beasts, yet before they had even found one, three out of seven students had left, and he himself had been beaten into a serious state.
In his rage, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Dai Mubai's mouth was crooked, his eyes slanted, and several teeth were missing, causing air to leak from his speech. He struggled to climb to his feet and glared viciously at them.
"Zhu Zhuqing, don't think I don't know who you are. If you dare leave, your family won't spare you. You are mine. In life, you are my woman; in death, you are mine."
Ning Rongrong made a face, looking utterly unconcerned.
"Then have your family send someone. If they can't find the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I can even give them directions."
"Dai Mubai, I will repay yesterday's humiliation a hundredfold someday."
With that, Ning Rongrong grabbed Zhu Zhuqing and left.
Zhu Zhuqing felt as if she had passed through dark willows and suddenly found another village.
Escaping her family this time had originally been a desperate gamble.
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's protection in the future, it seemed she might be able to survive without risking her life.
"Thank you, Rongrong."
Ning Rongrong led Zhu Zhuqing over to Su Chen. Looking at the exceptionally handsome Su Chen, stars sparkled in her eyes.
Then, she seemed to become a completely different person.
She performed a proper and graceful noble's salute. Her brows curved, and a faint smile rose on her lips. She seemed so approachable that anyone would naturally feel favorably toward her at first glance.
"Hello, Brother Su Chen."
"I am Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Back when I was still in the sect, I often heard my father mention you. My father frequently praised you as the number one genius of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San's actions were far too vile. We couldn't stand it, so we withdrew from Shrek Academy. We want to leave with you."
"Please give us a ride. Once we return to Heaven Dou City, I'll have my sect issue letters of recommendation so we can join Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Then we'll be classmates."
Ning Rongrong was Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo's treasured darling. Naturally, she could not act like an arrogant little witch in front of the three of them.
Once she put on an act, with those innocent wide eyes of hers, who would not feel fondness for such a polite young girl?
Zhu Zhuqing pressed her thin lips into a straight line. As she looked at Su Chen, admiration and longing gleamed in her eyes.
Two rings, a thousand years. Four rings, ten thousand years!
A Soul Ancestor fighting a Soul Sage!
If she possessed strength like Su Chen's, how could her family have forced her into such a predicament?
"Hello, I'm Zhu Zhuqing."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both inwardly cried out in alarm. They exchanged glances, then warily looked toward Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Why was this never-ending?
Xiao Wu had arrived, and that had not been enough. Now Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had come too.
One had a powerful background, while the other... well... she had beauty, a figure, and elegance.
Xiao Wu smiled brightly and clapped her hands.
"Good for you!"
"Rongrong, Zhuqing, I've been sick of Shrek Academy for a long time. Dai Mubai, that lecherous tiger who rented rooms with twins. Ma Hongjun, that wild chicken who spent every day in brothels. Oscar, that secretly perverted Big Sausage Uncle. Tang San... I don't even want to mention him."
"The happiest thing about my time at Shrek Academy was meeting you two. Once we go somewhere new, we can look after each other."
Receiving Xiao Wu's approval, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both relaxed slightly. In the end, they looked at Su Chen with anticipation.
From the corner of his eye, Su Chen glanced at Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Oscar, who were glaring so hard their eyes seemed ready to split. He almost laughed.
This trip had been worth it. He had taken away all three beauties of Shrek.
It was practically the same as stealing the future wives of Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Oscar all at once.
Su Chen smiled faintly. "You're Xiao Wu's friends, which makes you my friends. Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal."
"We can't eat here. Let's go somewhere else."
