Hearing this, the group finally entered Shrek Academy.
Seeing that hardly anyone else was signing up, Li Yusong planned to pack up and go wash the hands that had just touched Soul Beast dung.
But Chang Gong Miao stopped him. "Teacher Li Yusong, aren't you going to wait a little longer? Someone else might come to sign up soon!"
"No more waiting. Nobody else is coming. Your Soul Power is all above rank twenty-five, so just go to that clearing over there for the fourth trial."
In a hurry to wash his hands, Li Yusong could not spare any thought for how the other party knew his name. After pointing out the way to the fourth trial, he rushed off to wash up.
Seeing that Chang Gong Miao's interest lay somewhere other than the wine in his cup, Yu Tianlong leaned toward his ear with some amusement and whispered, "Stop waiting. Another fellow has already reserved Ning Rongrong. They held their engagement banquet just six days ago."
Chang Gong Miao froze for a moment, then sneered. "I'm afraid you haven't heard that Ning Rongrong has already run away from her marriage. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is offering two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins to find her."
Even someone as composed as Yu Tianlong could not help being stunned at those words. Then a disdainful smile appeared on his face, directed at Long Aotian.
He had actually let a wife delivered right to his door get away.
And to think he had always considered Long Aotian a rival. After all that, he turned out to be a cuckolded turtle who could not even keep hold of his own wife.
He had truly disgraced them all as Transmigrators.
At that thought, he whispered to Chang Gong Miao, "Congratulations, then. But I've already reserved Zhu Zhuqing. If you dare lay a finger on what belongs to me, I certainly won't let you off."
"Heh, what belongs to you? She clearly belongs to my Star Luo Imperial Family. If you've got time for this, you'd be better off thinking about how you'll face Spirit Hall in the future. There are fewer than eight years left before your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is wiped out."
Chang Gong Miao sneered. Clearly, he had no intention of letting either Zhu Zhuqing or Ning Rongrong go. He wanted them both.
"You..." Chang Gong Miao's words struck Yu Tianlong's sore spot, and his expression turned ugly.
Chang Gong Miao paid no further attention to this homeless cur. Instead, he caught up with Tang Weiwei and whispered, "You've taken a liking to Tang San, haven't you?"
"So what if I have?" As a female fan of Tang San in her previous life, Tang Weiwei had been a bona fide twenty-first-century little fairy. She utterly loathed male Transmigrators who wanted to steal her Third Bro's opportunities and limelight.
In her eyes, these people were all jealous of her bro. They were all Creepy Guys.
Even that native who had just presented Li Yusong with dung was better than these people.
At least he knew his own limits and had a quick mind.
He was also genuinely handsome.
Unlike those two Creepy Guys, Chang Gong Miao and Yu Tianlong, who wore skins that did not belong to them and stood around playing cool and pretending to be profound.
Amid her disgust, she did not forget to warn Chang Gong Miao. "I'm warning you, don't even think about targeting my Third Bro. Otherwise, our Clear Sky Sect certainly won't let you off."
As she spoke, she slowed down and turned to Yu Tianlong. "That goes for you too. Don't think you're something special just because you're an heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect falls far short of our Clear Sky Sect."
Having said her piece, she hurried forward to catch up with Tang San and strike up a conversation with the Third Bro she had been yearning for.
Because of what had happened with Lin Tian, Xiao Wu had developed no romantic feelings for Tang San and was not particularly averse to her. Soon, the three were chatting intermittently.
After hearing Tang Weiwei's words, Chang Gong Miao and Yu Tianlong exchanged a glance, both inwardly cursing her as a dumbass.
A homeless cur whose sect had been beaten into sealing its mountain by Spirit Hall, with a cultivation of only rank twenty-eight, actually dared threaten the two of them, a Soul Elder and a Soul Ancestor.
She truly had no idea what death was.
It was only because they were at Shrek, in front of Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, with Tang Hao watching from the shadows, that they held back. Otherwise, they would have killed her without hesitation.
"What do you say? Shall we work together and find a chance to kill this stupid woman?" Yu Tianlong extended the invitation, not forgetting to add, "I doubt you want a stupid woman like her ruining our plans either."
"All right." Hearing this, Chang Gong Miao agreed almost without thinking.
He had originally intended to let Tang Weiwei pursue Tang San while he pursued Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing at the same time.
He had never imagined that this woman would be stupid enough to use the Clear Sky Sect to pressure him. She truly had no idea what death was.
As for Yu Tianlong, he did not consider him worth taking seriously.
Even though the man was currently stronger than him.
He had a system, however. He only needed to win over the goddesses from the original Douluo story to receive rewards.
If he could tumble between the sheets with a goddess, he could also spin a prize wheel. From divine positions to Soul Rings and Soul Bones, it contained every treasure imaginable.
Besides, his own talent was not bad either. He had Innate Full Soul Power, and his Martial Soul was a Green Tiger mutated from the White Tiger, possessing both fire and wood attributes.
He had broken through rank thirty and advanced to Soul Elder at eleven. Now twelve, he was about to break through rank thirty-five.
It was precisely because of this that Dai Tianfeng, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, still showered him with affection despite his being an illegitimate son.
He had promised to betroth Zhu Zhuqing to him as long as he defeated Dai Mubai.
And he only needed to win over one of the three girls to receive rewards, improve his strength, and surpass Yu Tianlong.
Yu Tianlong smiled at Chang Gong Miao's answer, thinking, Once I've killed this woman with stupidity written all over her face, I'll find a chance to kill you too.
And so, each harboring his own dark designs, the two headed toward the fourth trial site with Tang San and the others.
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai chased Lin Yuan a long way, only for him to vanish completely around a bend.
This left Dai Mubai both anxious and angry, afraid he would be saddled with another debt of one hundred and ten Gold Soul Coins.
So he searched everywhere.
Then a sudden pain struck his head, and Lin Yuan knocked him unconscious with a sneak attack from a club.
Lin Yuan looted him as usual, but only found a dozen or so Gold Soul Coins.
Lin Yuan could not help inwardly cursing him as a broke bastard, then kicked him into a field ridge.
Just then, two beauties, one older and one younger, walked over.
Lin Yuan had met the older beauty before. She was the Soul Emperor from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The younger one looked about Xiao Wu's age. Dressed in a simple tea-green dress, she gave off a very clean impression.
She was around 1.65 meters tall, a little shorter than Xiao Wu. Her small face was exquisite, and her skin was as fair and tender as a peeled egg. Anyone who saw her would have exclaimed that she was a budding beauty.
But Lin Yuan acted as though he had not seen her and simply kept walking.
This infuriated the little beauty.
She had recognized the fellow who had sold her out from a long way away. Originally, she had wanted the Soul Emperor guard beside her to teach him a lesson so she could vent her anger.
But on second thought, it seemed more satisfying to let him see her beauty and stare in a daze, then reveal her identity and achieve the feat of showing off and slapping him in the face.
Yet this fellow refused to play by the usual rules.
A great beauty like her had appeared right in front of him, yet he acted as though he could not see her. Just what was that supposed to mean?
