Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun Were Quite the Star-Crossed Pair Too

The plain-looking girl holding a local chicken, along with the pair of twin girls who were clearly looking for someone, instantly...

made the atmosphere on the scene turn strange.

Especially when he heard the name Young Master Dai, Li Yusong's face twitched unnaturally.

Ning Rongrong did not react much, but a slight change had already appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

Although she sensed that something was off, the plain girl did not think much of it as she held the local chicken and said,

"Teacher Li, this local chicken..."

"Miss, just take it straight to the academy kitchen. I'm busy recruiting students right now. I don't have time!"

Li Yusong withdrew his Soul Emperor aura and waved impatiently.

"Ah?"

The plain girl pursed her lips, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

"But this local chicken was transformed by Ma Hongjun!"

Li Yusong: "?"

Tang San and Xiao Wu: "?"

Especially a certain Rogue Rabbit. Upon hearing that the local chicken had once been a person, she thought she had encountered a soul beast companion.

But when the three of them looked closely, the local chicken in the plain girl's arms did indeed look somewhat human.

The local chicken was fat, with a pair of purple tail feathers, a mohawk on its head, and eyes filled with urgency and excitement.

In particular, when this purple local chicken saw Sparkle, its beak kept going, "Cluck cluck cluck~~"

It practically looked like it wanted to lay an egg...

Only then did the plain girl notice that Xu Yuan, Sparkle, and the others were here as well, and she could not help feeling afraid.

In the eyes of ordinary people, soul masters were synonymous with power and were not to be provoked under any circumstances.

Li Yusong frowned deeply. He looked uncertainly at the purple local chicken, his face full of confusion as he said,

"Miss, you say this is Ma Hongjun? But as far as I know, no soul skill can turn a person into an animal."

"Besides, that brat Ma Hongjun is only a Second-Ring Soul Grandmaster, so a Martial Soul Avatar is even more out of the question."

Having settled what he considered the first issue, Li Yusong then looked at the twin girls beside her.

"What Young Master Dai? Mubai is recuperating from his injuries. Just go to the house at the north end of the village."

At those words, the plain girl and the twin girls nodded helplessly, preparing to leave.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yusong had swiftly dealt with both matters before finally turning to Tang San and the other three.

Just as Li Yusong was about to speak, a gust of wind came from behind him, along with Flender's respectful voice.

"Your Excellency Sparkle, welcome. This junior is Flender, headmaster of Shrek Academy. Forgive me for failing to welcome you properly."

A black figure flashed past. Flender, possessed by the Four-Eyed Cat Eagle, quickly approached and spoke with utmost respect.

Li Yusong, Xiao Wu, and the others were dumbfounded as they looked at Flender. He was incomparably humble toward Sparkle.

Your Excellency could only mean one thing on the continent.

A Titled Douluo!

A figure of such stature had actually come to tiny Suotuo City?

Tang San's expression grew even more complicated. After all, he knew that the white-haired, crimson-eyed woman was also a Titled Douluo.

Just who was this boy named Xu Yuan?

He actually had two Titled Douluo-level beauties by his side. Jealousy made Tang San's face darken further.

Seeing Flender bow and scrape, Sparkle recognized him as well. He was that blackhearted merchant from yesterday.

"Little Gray Hair, what do you think?"

Sparkle ignored Flender and instead looked at Xu Yuan, asking for his opinion.

Only then did Flender notice in shock Xu Yuan's gleaming Soul Rings and cultivation.

Two black, two red, one gold.

A Soul King's configuration, yet his aura was that of a Soul Emperor!

"Flender, you should deal with these messes first."

Xu Yuan gave Sparkle a look, the sort of look that said he was waiting to enjoy the show.

Sparkle immediately understood. The next second, nine Soul Rings appeared above her head in succession.

Buzz!

Two yellow, two purple, four black, one red.

Sparkle casually displayed the optimal Soul Ring configuration, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

A Titled Douluo?!

Tang San's pupils contracted. This was the second Titled Douluo he had seen up close, though both had been women.

Xu Yuan's Soul Ring configuration had already been absurd enough, but a Titled Douluo girl in a red kimono was even more absurd.

Seeing this, Flender took a deep breath and spoke bitterly.

"Yusong, explain what happened."

Li Yusong looked shocked, but he withheld nothing as he explained the entire series of events.

Then...

Flender's gaze fell upon the plain girl. More accurately, it fell upon the purple local chicken in her arms.

After thinking briefly, Flender came to a guess.

Clearly, Ma Hongjun had courted death and offended Xu Yuan's group, bringing disaster upon himself.

"Your Excellency Sparkle, you are magnanimous. Why lower yourself to the level of a child?"

The moment Flender opened his mouth, he began to equivocate, trying to use a stronger person's pride to morally pressure her.

Unfortunately, that trick did not work on the Masked Fools.

What was face worth compared to fun?

Xu Yuan had no intention of indulging Flender either. He said disdainfully,

"If you want Sparkle to remove the soul skill, it's simple. Just have Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun put on a show for us."

At those words, Flender's expression immediately turned ugly.

But with Sparkle's nine Soul Rings before him and a Titled Douluo watching him, he ultimately nodded with difficulty.

"Yusong, have someone carry that brat Mubai out here. Immediately, at once, right now!"

By the end, Flender's voice had clearly grown much louder.

He was afraid that delaying even a second would displease that Titled Douluo.

Before long, Zhao Wuji and another peach-eyed youth with a full beard hurried over.

The two carried a stretcher, and Dai Mubai lay on it.

"Headmaster, we brought Boss Dai over."

Oscar was panting slightly. Making a food-system soul master carry a stretcher was simply too exhausting.

Hearing that, Zhao Wuji hurriedly gave Oscar a look, signaling for him not to spout nonsense.

There was clearly a Titled Douluo present!!

Nine Soul Rings pulsed faintly, and a terrifying pressure intimidated everyone present.

Seeing Dai Mubai carried over, Flender hurriedly asked respectfully,

"Your Excellency Sparkle, he's here. What do you think..."

But before Flender could finish, the twin girls rushed over and gathered around Dai Mubai.

"Young Master Dai, what happened to you?"

"Young Master Dai, are your injuries serious? Should we buy you some supplements?"

Dai Mubai had been rather happy at first upon seeing this, but then he remembered that he had become a eunuch.

His face immediately fell, darkening on the spot.

Just as Dai Mubai was about to speak, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a tall, graceful figure.

Zhu Zhuqing watched the twin girls surrounding Dai Mubai, her pretty face growing colder and colder.

At that moment, Sparkle quietly raised a hand, lighting up a faint red glow before pointing through the air at the purple local chicken.

The next second.

"Boss Dai, Headmaster, save me! I'm Ma Hongjun!"

The purple local chicken spoke human words, startling the plain girl holding it so badly that she tossed it away.

Dai Mubai: "..."

Looking at Ma Hongjun, who had been directly turned into a beast, Dai Mubai's expression became even more complicated.

It seemed Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun really were a pair of star-crossed lovers!
