Something Is Very, Very Wrong!

"Young Master Gu! Please help us!"

"Yes! Please, we're begging you!"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing did not want to miss this chance to reunite with Gu Zhi again. Leaving aside the fact that they could not give Liu Erlong another opportunity, Liu Erlong had only spent a few days with Gu Zhi and had already mooched so many system rewards!

"Hmm... all right..."

After thinking it over, Gu Zhi agreed. Honestly, when two beautiful young women clung to you and sweet-talked you over such a trivial request, any normal man would probably agree.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu!"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing smugly glanced at Liu Erlong, as though saying that they had more say than she did, making the latter's expression darken.

"This is Shrek's own business! Why do you insist on letting an outsider interfere!"

Dai Mubai and Oscar could not stand it anymore. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were being far too blatant about siding with outsiders!

"But this 'big sister' is also an 'outsider'! Does that mean she can interfere in Shrek Academy's affairs?"

Ning Rongrong's words were enough to choke someone to death. Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Liu Erlong all gritted their teeth in fury.

"Mubai! She is our longtime friend! A comrade through life and death! Shrek's business is her business, and her business is Shrek's business!"

Flender could not let Liu Erlong feel slighted. Perhaps when he founded the academy, aside from wanting to fulfill the Master's ambitions, he had also wanted to prove his abilities to Liu Erlong...

"Enough. Now is not the time to fuss over such matters. Let's act first."

The Master also spoke up to stop the situation from escalating. It seemed that he was the only one present who cared about Tang San's safety...

"This is killing me! Tang San is practically dying over there, while they're still arguing about this stuff here!"

"Looking at it this way, the Master's feelings for Tang San are at least sincere! What a pity, though—the God Realm still had no place for Yu Xiaogang in the end!"

"So what! Tang Buddha has something to say about that! Was he the one who stopped Yu Xiaogang from ascending to the God Realm? Clearly Yu Xiaogang just did not work hard enough! Didn't Bai Chenxiang also fail to ascend to the God Realm? Wasn't that because Ma Hongjun did not work hard enough!"

"Damn! Is the person above trying to stir things up? So Huo Yuhao's parents being able to ascend to the God Realm during the second era was all because Huo Yuhao worked hard enough, right!"

"Pah! That was because Huo Yuhao was Tang Buddha's son-in-law! If Tang Buddha had not wanted to tie Huo Yuhao to the God Realm, would he have been willing to resurrect Huo Yuhao's mother?"

"Stop talking already! My Yuhao! How did he end up with that disgusting thing Tang San! Without Tang San, my Yuhao would not have suffered so much!"

"Gu Zhi, hurry up and beat Tang San to death! That would definitely count as doing good and accumulating virtue!"

A wave of "Beat Tang San to death" suddenly flooded the barrage. Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Liu Erlong immediately wore strange expressions. Luckily Gu Zhi could not see the barrage, or he might not have remained so calm.

"Found him! He's up ahead!"

Gu Zhi and the others had not been far from the battlefield between Tang San and the Man Faced Demon Spider to begin with. With the barrage guiding them, Liu Erlong and the other two women deliberately or unconsciously led everyone toward Tang San. Before long, they found Tang San, gravely wounded and on the brink of death, along with the Man Faced Demon Spider barely clinging to life.

"Little Third!"

Seeing his disciple in such a state, the Master's heart ached terribly. As he helped stop Tang San's bleeding, he searched for something that could save his life.

"Sigh... Give him this..."

Liu Erlong ultimately could not bear it. She silently took out a reward pill she had mooched and handed it to the Master to treat Tang San.

"Thank you!"

The Master was deeply moved. He did not dwell on where Liu Erlong had gotten such a precious pill and only wanted to save Tang San's life as quickly as possible.

"What? Sister Liu, what are you doing! Wouldn't it be better if Tang San died! You even wasted a pill!"

"Even if Sister Liu wants to cut off all ties, she can't do this! Gu Zhi will lose points for you in his heart!"

"No way! My Sister Liu has long since left a vivid mark in Gu Zhi's heart! How could something this minor make Gu Zhi upset?"

"Exactly! Instead of worrying about that, why not think about how to explain where the pill came from! The markings on pills produced by the system are way too obvious!"

"Explain? One round of drinks tonight will clear everything up!"

"Damn! That's a great suggestion from above! You people really know how to play!"

The barrage's words not only gave Liu Erlong an idea, but also made Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong nervous. They became even more vigilant against Liu Erlong!

"Who did this! Who stole my spirit beast!"

The Shrek group was watching the Master treat Tang San, while Liu Erlong and the other two women chatted with Gu Zhi and casually teased the Three-Eyed Golden Lion perched on his shoulder.

Suddenly, a sweet female voice rang out nearby. When everyone looked over, they saw Meng Yiran slowly emerging under the escort of Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.

"It's you again! Little sister, you really do linger like a ghost! Don't tell me you missed your big brother?"

The moment Ma Hongjun saw Meng Yiran, he instinctively began flirting. After all, he was the only one in the Shrek group without a partner. Naturally, his heart stirred when he saw such a beauty as Meng Yiran.

"Fatty, watch it!"

Dai Mubai and Oscar hurriedly reached out to cover Ma Hongjun's mouth. Could this guy really not see Dragon Duke and Snake Granny standing behind Meng Yiran?

However, with the Golden Iron Triangle all present, and with everyone possessing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Shrek truly no longer needed to be so wary.

"Fine! We did not make too much of an issue over that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent before! But now you've come to snatch this Man Faced Demon Spider too! Do you really think we're easy to bully!"

Snake Granny had long known how to provoke them thanks to Meng Yiran's reminder. At the same time, she, Meng Yiran, and Dragon Duke were all secretly sizing up Gu Zhi, who was watching the excitement nearby. They marveled at how handsome and extraordinary he was, while agreeing with Meng Yiran's taste.

"How can you prove this Man Faced Demon Spider is yours? Our Third Brother was clearly the one who defeated it!"

Oscar spoke up for Tang San. Look at how badly he had been hurt—did Meng Yiran and her group have no conscience?

"Then let's take a good look at who found this Man Faced Demon Spider first!"

Dragon Duke had long expected Shrek's rebuttal. Earlier, following Meng Yiran's suggestion, he had tampered with the Man Faced Demon Spider and left behind quite a few traces of battle, all so that he could challenge Shrek Academy now.

"Huh? Although Dragon Duke found evidence, why do I still feel like something is wrong?"

"Of course something's wrong! In the original story, Dragon Duke crippled this Man Faced Demon Spider first, and Tang San only picked up the leftovers! But this Man Faced Demon Spider has only suffered minor injuries now! It nearly took Tang San away instead!"

"So Dragon Duke and the others deliberately did not finish it off! They knew Tang San would run into this Man Faced Demon Spider! Were they trying to kill with a borrowed knife!"

"They're that bold? They even dared to plot against Tang Buddha, and they almost succeeded!"

"Not only that! Dragon Duke and the others even dared to use this matter to hold Shrek Academy accountable! Damn, they got all the benefits!"

There were experts in the barrage, and they quickly figured out Meng Yiran's group's scheme. Liu Erlong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong immediately realized that Meng Yiran definitely had to be someone who could see the barrage too!

"Well? Nothing to say now, right!"

Meng Yiran subtly exchanged glances with Liu Erlong and the other two women, as though declaring that she had joined the battlefield.

"So what do you want! This Man Faced Demon Spider was still defeated by our Third Brother! There's no rule about first come, first served!"

Oscar continued to argue stubbornly. Shrek had never suffered losses!

"Then we'll settle this with our fists!"

Dragon Duke and Snake Granny immediately unleashed their aura, and their overwhelming pressure instantly crushed everyone present!

"Wait! We were in the wrong here! If you have demands, state them!"

Although Flender was extremely unwilling, seeing Tang San in this condition made it difficult for him to provoke another conflict with Meng Yiran's group. He decided to accept this loss for now and settle the score when he had the chance later.

"Fine! Then I want him!"

Meng Yiran had been waiting for those words. She immediately followed up by pointing at Gu Zhi, who was watching the show from the side...
