Xiaogang, I'll Take Good Care of Erlong

After witnessing Bai Ye's terrifying Soul Skill, which could bring the dead back to life, Ning Rongrong completely abandoned the thought of suicide. In its place burned the flames of revenge.

She knew very well how difficult that path would be. There was practically no hope of success.

But denied even death, what else could she do?

She was only a little girl!

"Sure, I look forward to that day." Bai Ye smiled, showing his gleaming white teeth.

Ning Rongrong, however, trembled, a chill running through her entire body.

"But from now on, you're my servant. Naturally, you'll have to dress as I tell you, too."

As he spoke, Bai Ye took the maid outfit he had prepared beforehand out of the Wishful Hundred-Treasure Pouch and tossed it to Ning Rongrong.

"Put it on, and I'll take you out of here."

Leaving those words behind, Bai Ye walked away without looking back. After all, it wasn't time to pluck the fruit yet.

Ning Rongrong stared in the direction he had gone, her emotions tangled and her eyes hollow and lifeless. When her gaze fell on the maid outfit, an involuntary blush rose to her cheeks, only to vanish an instant later.

Then she looked at the knife Bai Ye had yet to take away. She didn't know whether he had left it deliberately, but her eyes filled with resolve.

Bai Ye had left. She didn't believe he could revive her once she was truly dead.

After all, she hadn't completely died earlier.

Ning Rongrong acted on her decision, but just as she was about to pick up the knife, Bai Ye's sigh suddenly reached her ears.

"Ah."

Ning Rongrong froze. Tears of helplessness fell as she stripped off her old clothes and put on the new outfit under the scrutiny of Bai Ye's spiritual power.

There was a mirror in the room, but she didn't look into it. She didn't dare see what she looked like now. Afterward, she stepped out of the room and went over to Bai Ye, who was waiting outside.

"Mm, not bad." Bai Ye looked her up and down and gave a satisfied smile.

Ning Rongrong's body was rigid, and his words made her tremble involuntarily.

"Come with me." With that, Bai Ye turned and had Spirit Hall's personnel summon Dugu Yan. The three of them once again shared a carriage and headed to Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong was as good as secured. It was time for Zhu Zhuqing, too.

Shrek Academy.

Flender and the others had already learned of the major events that had shaken the Soul Master World.

As for what had happened to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he could only say they had deserved it. At the same time, he mourned Yu Xiaogang's death.

Yes, Flender believed Yu Xiaogang was dead. After all, Spirit Hall had killed everyone the Clear Sky Sect handed over except Ning Rongrong.

Before leaving, Yu Xiaogang had explicitly said he was going to the Clear Sky Sect. Flender had tried to dissuade him, but Yu Xiaogang's mind was made up.

"Xiaogang, why wouldn't you listen to me? Under any other circumstances, I would certainly avenge you, but..."

Flender had no intention whatsoever of avenging his friend.

"If you'd listened to me back then, neither you nor your clan would have fallen to such an end."

Flender's heart ached. When Thunder Douluo and Bone Douluo had come to Shrek Academy and tried to force him to reveal Bai Ye's whereabouts, he had refused even at the cost of his life. Yu Xiaogang, however, had told them because of his father.

Otherwise, why would Spirit Hall have flown into such a rage?

Otherwise, why would Yu Xiaogang, who had left his clan years ago, have had to pay the price?

At the same time, Flender cursed the Upper Three Sects. If they hadn't envied the Spirit Hall Holy Son's talent, how could his dear friend Yu Xiaogang have died?

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are gone. Though the Clear Sky Sect remains, it's merely clinging to its last breath. Xiaogang, rest assured. I'll destroy the Clear Sky Sect to avenge you. And I'll take good care of Erlong for you, too. You can rest easy over there."

Flender wiped away his tears, then turned his head with a smile.

Yu Xiaogang was dead. Liu Erlong could only be his now!

Although he knew perfectly well how Liu Erlong felt about Yu Xiaogang, the man was dead. Naturally, he would go all out to win her over.

"I refuse to believe I can't beat a dead man." Flender was thrilled, overlooking the fact that Liu Erlong was also a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Fortunately, Bibi Dong hadn't singled her out. Otherwise, she would have died even at Blue Tyrant Academy.

It wasn't that Bibi Dong didn't want to kill her. She was simply useful alive.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others also knew about Bai Ye. Although he was the Spirit Hall Holy Son, he was still their classmate.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were both excited. Whenever they went to deal with the Evil Fire, they would throw out the same line: "You know the Spirit Hall Holy Son? He's my brother!"

The two of them were immensely proud.

Zhu Zhuqing was happy, too, because her efforts hadn't been wasted. Before leaving for the Sunset Forest, Bai Ye had clearly stated that once he returned, he would take her to the Star Luo Empire to change her fate.

All that work with my mouth wasn't for nothing. Now, Zhu Zhuqing eagerly awaited Bai Ye's return.

Watching Zhu Zhuqing crane her neck in anticipation, Dai Mubai felt bitter.

You're clearly my fiancée, yet you're thinking about another man-and right in front of me, too.

Hmph! You act so cold and aloof around me, but in the end, you're nothing but a filthy whore! Good thing I saw you for what you are, or you might have ruined my entire life. Dai Mubai's face had twisted.

Naturally, he didn't dare say that to Zhu Zhuqing's face. He only dared spit those vicious words in his mind.

After all, he was afraid of offending Bai Ye.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been reduced to Ning Rongrong alone, while he was merely a fallen prince. Although life held no joy for him, he still didn't want Bai Ye to kill him over a single remark.

After all, if Zhu Zhuqing was out of reach, there were still the beautiful twin sisters.

Besides, he knew about Bai Ye's promise to Zhu Zhuqing. If Zhu Zhuqing benefited, then naturally, he, her fiancé, would benefit as well.

Ultimately, Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée. Bai Ye would surely give him some benefits, too. Otherwise, wouldn't he be failing to live up to his status as the Spirit Hall Holy Son?

When the time came, although he would still fall short of his elder brother, he wouldn't die or have his Soul Power crippled. He would even have his own fief and live out his days in happiness.

Once he reached his fief, he could have as many women like Zhu Zhuqing as he wanted.

So much so that the image of Zhu Zhuqing pinned beneath him surfaced in his mind again, and a lecherous smile spread across his face.

It was even more lecherous than anything Oscar or Ma Hongjun could muster.

"Boss, that smile is downright filthy," Oscar said.

Indeed, calling Dai Mubai's current smile filthy was no exaggeration.

"Heh, you don't get it, do you? Boss is thinking about the twins." Ma Hongjun flashed a lecherous smile.

Oscar followed suit.

Not far away, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Her disgust for Dai Mubai deepened, while Bai Ye's image grew ever more imposing in her heart.

She even began to fantasize, despite having never experienced intimacy.

"Mm?" Zhu Zhuqing unconsciously let out a sound. The lecherous trio immediately looked over, their faces filled with disbelief.

After coming to their senses, Ma Hongjun and Oscar instantly turned to look elsewhere.

"Uncle Big Sausage, did you hear something just now?"

"Hear what? I didn't hear a thing."

The two had enough sense to leave quickly. Only Dai Mubai remained in a daze. He had merely been cursing her in anger in his mind earlier. Who would have thought the woman really was like that?

At that thought, Dai Mubai's expression darkened. He desperately wanted to confront Zhu Zhuqing, but with her cheeks burning, she didn't even spare him a glance.

For a moment, Dai Mubai was consumed by fury. A bold idea surfaced, and he slowly approached Zhu Zhuqing.

Dai Mubai could no longer suppress his anger. Even if it meant death, he would indulge in pleasure once.

"What are you trying to do?" Sensing something wrong, Zhu Zhuqing turned and saw Dai Mubai licking his lips, his eyes bloodshot.

"What am I trying to do? Heh heh..."
