Dai Mubai's Resentment, Slab Crystal, and Fleecing the Sheep

Inside the room.

Sparkle poked her head around mischievously. The petite twin-tailed girl clasped her hands behind her back and slowly paced around.

Thanks to that Joyful Transformation, the frost between Sparkle and Jingliu had melted away.

Jingliu owed her a favor, so Sparkle had nothing to fear.

Then...

Sparkle, the "Masked Fool" who could not stand behaving herself for even a moment, could not wait to go find some fun.

"Big Sister Jingliu, you can also use some fun to ask Lady Sparkle to transform into 'Baiheng' for you~~"

Sparkle smiled slyly, already making her little calculations.

After hearing this, Jingliu silently nodded in agreement.

"Fine. We'll do as you say."

At that moment, Xu Yuan noticed that Sparkle's outfit looked exactly like her character model from the game posters. It was quite pleasing to the eye.

But... the red kimono was a little too revealing.

Xu Yuan did not want outsiders seeing Sparkle dressed like that, unless... Sparkle showed it only to him.

With that thought, Xu Yuan tried to persuade her.

"Sparkle, this is Douluo Continent. Your outfit... is a little inappropriate."

"Little Gray Hair, don't you like looking at Lady Sparkle?"

Sparkle giggled, propping her cheek up with one hand. A seductive gleam filled her pink eyes.

"I like—"

Xu Yuan had barely uttered the first word when he remembered Jingliu was still there and hurriedly changed his answer.

"I like the money in your pockets, and your fox mask."

"Fine, fine. Who told you that you're the contractor?"

Seeing that Xu Yuan had not fallen for it, Sparkle pouted after her prank failed. A burst of red light shone from her body.

The next second.

The red goldfish-shaped kimono Sparkle wore lengthened considerably, falling to her thighs and covering her bare shoulders.

Her outfit changed from something that might expose her with even a slightly large movement into a very conservative kimono style.

For Pathstriders from Star Rail, level 99 was the limit of the world, and they had no shortage of methods at their disposal.

What was more, Jingliu and Sparkle were not ordinary Pathstriders. Even in the universe, they were among the elite, mysterious and powerful.

Especially Sparkle from the if storyline, who could transform into Firework.

"Let's go. Didn't you want to have some fun? I'll come with you."

"Big Sister, do you want to come too?"

As a contractor who had transmigrated to Douluo, Xu Yuan smoothly invited the two women.

His relationship with Jingliu had progressed further. As for winning Sparkle over, that was even simpler—he just needed to find fun.

"Mm, little brother, I'll go with you."

Jingliu glanced at Sparkle. An inexplicable glint flashed through her red eyes before quickly vanishing.

It seemed she could no longer keep little brother all to herself...

"Thank you, Little Gray Hair. You're the best."

"If there's time... Lady Sparkle might consider inviting you to Sparkle's Wonder House~~"

Sparkle painted him a rosy picture and pushed up the round-framed glasses she had somehow quietly put on.

Lady Sparkle did not care what world she had arrived in. As long as there was fun to watch, that was enough.

"Let's go, we're off!"

Xu Yuan left the room with Jingliu and Sparkle.

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.

"Mr. Flender, I'm very sorry. I did everything I could."

"There are traces of sharp claws in your student's wounds, and that part has already been crushed... Please prepare yourselves mentally."

The speaker was a bald, white-bearded old man with a small, thin frame. He put away his Martial Soul.

At those words, Flender immediately frowned deeply.

His hooked-nose face darkened like water. Upon hearing that Dai Mubai would become a eunuch, his shoe-sole-shaped face looked even uglier.

Others did not know Dai Mubai's true identity, but Flender knew it perfectly well.

The third prince of the Star Luo Empire.

Something had happened to him on Shrek Academy's territory. One could imagine that the Star Luo Emperor would hold Flender responsible.

"Thank you for your trouble, sir. Zhao Wuji, see our guest out."

Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Flender glanced sideways. The tower-like burly man behind him immediately stepped forward.

Zhao Wuji nodded and took out a bag of Gold Soul Coins, handing it to the white-bearded healing-type Soul King.

Only after the man left did Shrek Academy's five teachers turn their gazes toward Flender.

"Flender, what do we do? Mubai, this child..."

With no outsiders present, Zhao Wuji no longer concealed his fierce aura and spoke indignantly.

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Wuji directly activated Martial Soul Possession. His body grew another meter taller, becoming even more brawny.

Two yellow, two purple, three black.

The Soul Sage aura of the Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul surged fiercely.

Seeing Zhao Wuji take a stance, Li Yusong also snorted coldly and summoned a long dragon-patterned staff.

Six Soul Rings shone at once. He was also a Soul Emperor.

"Dai Mubai is my student. How can I stand by while someone deals him such a vicious blow?"

The other seventy-year-old elder, Lu Qibin, exchanged a glance with Shao Xin, the Soul Sage with the Candy Bean Martial Soul. They nodded in agreement.

Seeing the four men filled with righteous indignation, Flender opened his mouth to say something, but the person in the room woke up.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji hurriedly moved closer and asked.

"Dai Mubai, who injured you like this? Just say the word, and Teacher Zhao will uphold justice for you."

"He was very strong... He crushed me in every aspect."

Dai Mubai was covered in bandages, and his face was wrapped like a zongzi. Only his eyes were exposed as he spoke.

Flender shook his head and began analyzing the situation.

"Based on what Mubai said, this person not only possesses a beast Martial Soul, but may also have a Soul Bone. His cultivation is also formidable."

"There is no other possibility. He must be from Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing the words Spirit Hall, Zhao Wuji, who had just been ready to help avenge him out of loyalty, immediately wilted.

Zhao Wuji was still on Spirit Hall's blacklist.

If Spirit Hall noticed him, even ten lives would not be enough for Zhao Wuji to lose.

Li Yusong and the others also fell silent. Two Soul Sages and three Soul Emperors were little more than ants before Spirit Hall.

Forget helping with revenge—Flender did not even dare shout that slogan anymore: those who dared not cause trouble were mediocrities.

"Ahem, Mubai, we can't avenge this grudge."

"How about this... Focus on recovering first. We'll talk about it later."

An awkward expression flashed across Flender's face as he comforted Dai Mubai.

At that moment, Dai Mubai finally recalled his unbearable injury and asked with a trace of hope on his face.

"Headmaster, that injury of mine..."

Flender turned his face away, shook his head, and sighed. The meaning was obvious.

Dai Mubai's face instantly turned ashen, and two inexplicable resentments suddenly rose in his heart.

Flender would not help him take revenge, while Xu Yuan had condemned him to become a eunuch for the rest of his life.

He had always been suave and charming, yet now his bloodline would end with him.

Just wait. He, Dai Mubai, would definitely cultivate into a Titled Douluo and reclaim his dignity.

More than ten minutes later, on the streets of Suotuo City.

Xu Yuan walked with Sparkle, who skipped along the entire way, and Jingliu, whose eyes were covered by black cloth.

Their goal was to intercept Tang San's Slab Crystal.

Before long, the three of them stopped in front of a small shop.

A sword, a hammer, and a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

The three symbols together marked the black-hearted merchant shop belonging to Flender, the Four-Eyed Cat Eagle.

Xu Yuan had always believed in cutting through chaos with a swift blade. It was better to intercept Tang San's opportunity in advance than to make a perfectly timed entrance.

In Suotuo City's storyline, all of the Shrek Seven Devils would appear. This was an excellent opportunity to fleece the sheep.

Xu Yuan stepped forward and entered with Jingliu and Sparkle.
