Farewell, Ning Rongrong

Lin Yuan brushed past Ning Rongrong.

After walking several yards, Ning Rongrong finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She turned around and angrily shouted, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you blind? Didn't you see that I was here?"

Not only did Lin Yuan ignore her, he even quickened his pace.

"Bastard, I'm talking to you!"

Ning Rongrong stomped her feet furiously. Seeing that there was nothing nearby she could throw at him, she simply pulled a Gold Soul Coin from her storage Soul Tool and hurled it at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan caught it casually, as if he had eyes in the back of his head.

He turned around and looked at Ning Rongrong. "What is it, miss? Do you need something?"

"Of course I do! Have you already forgotten how you sold me out earlier?" Ning Rongrong said as she smugly closed her eyes, seemingly prepared to blind Lin Yuan with her beauty.

After all, her current appearance was vastly different from how she had looked in her beggar's outfit earlier. Saying that one was heaven and the other earth would not be an exaggeration.

However, Lin Yuan merely said, "Oh," then asked with an unusually flat reaction, "And?"

"Aren't you surprised? Shocked?" Ning Rongrong stared at him in astonishment. At that moment, she couldn't help wondering whether he was attracted to men—or perhaps he simply wasn't a man at all.

Otherwise, how could he show no reaction whatsoever when faced with a girl as beautiful as her?

"What's there to be surprised about? A Soul Master's appearance is inherently related to their martial soul. As the heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Miss Ning naturally wouldn't look bad."

Lin Yuan's words made Ning Rongrong feel so light-headed that she nearly lost herself in them.

But his next sentence immediately infuriated her. "It's just a pity that some areas still need a lot of work."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan looked at Ning Rongrong's flat chest. Although it had just begun to show the faintest hint of development, it was completely incomparable to Xiao Wu, Tang Weiwei, and the other Soul Masters her age.

It was even less comparable to someone as full-chested as Zhu Qing.

Rather than calling her Ning Rongrong, it would have been more fitting to call her Ning Pingping.

"You bastard!"

Ning Rongrong was stunned for a long while before finally understanding what he meant. She reached into her storage Soul Tool again. This time, she didn't take out a single Gold Soul Coin, but an entire bag weighing more than a pound.

As expected, Lin Yuan caught it with ease and slipped it into his own pocket.

"Thank you for the tip, Miss Ning. I won't stand on ceremony. However, I still have things to do, so I won't keep you company. Bye-bye now."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan turned around and continued running toward Suotuo City.

"Bastard, don't even think about escaping!"

Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, everyone had spoiled and indulged Ning Rongrong. This fellow, however, had not only sold her out but had also mocked her for having a small chest after seeing her beauty.

That had stirred up Ning Rongrong's rebellious instincts.

She subconsciously wanted to chase after him and teach Lin Yuan a harsh lesson, but the female Soul Emperor guard beside her blocked her path.

"Miss, it's already getting late. If you don't go register at Shrek Academy, then I can only follow the Sect Master's orders and take you back to the sect."

"Damn it." Ning Rongrong was unwilling to swallow this humiliation in silence, so she shouted in Lin Yuan's direction, "Bastard, do you dare tell me your name?"

Lin Yuan, who had already run some distance away, paused and answered, "My name is Mubai. Miss Ning, you're welcome to come find me for revenge anytime."

"Fine, Mubai! Just you wait. If I run into you again, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

Seeing that Lin Yuan had already disappeared from sight, Ning Rongrong could only leave him with a threat before following the female Soul Emperor guard to Shrek. She looked completely resigned and obedient.

As for what she was truly thinking, only she herself knew.

The two had barely walked a few steps when a mud-covered person suddenly burst out of the field ridge. A mouthful of muddy water came flying out as he gasped heavily for breath.

"Miss, be careful." The female Soul Emperor guard stepped across and instinctively shielded Ning Rongrong behind her. At the same time, six Soul Rings—two yellow, three purple, and one black—rose from beneath her feet.

She wore an extremely wary expression.

"Whew, I nearly suffocated to death. Damn it... Which bastard dared to hit me from behind and throw me into that muddy field?" The person who had emerged from the field ridge was naturally Dai Mubai.

He looked around furiously, trying to find the culprit.

But after seeing the six Soul Rings on the female Soul Emperor guard, his tone instantly softened. He asked cautiously, "Were you the ones who hit me just now?"

"No. We just arrived. We're here to escort my young lady to Shrek Academy to register," the female Soul Emperor guard said indifferently.

Only then did Dai Mubai notice Ning Rongrong behind her. A lecherous glint instantly bloomed in his pair of wicked eyes.

"What are you looking at? Never seen a beauty before?"

Ning Rongrong was simply that kind of person: the more obsequiously someone treated her, the more they praised her beauty, and the more they coveted her, the more she looked down on them and treated them like bootlickers.

Now, under Long Aotian's influence, and after taking the Aromatic Silk Beauty so early, she had become even more extreme.

On the other hand, the less someone cared about her and the less they valued her beauty, the more interested she became in them.

At that moment, it was obvious that Dai Mubai had already classified Ning Rongrong as one of her "admirers."

"Please show some restraint," the female Soul Emperor guard warned him as well.

Dai Mubai knew that he had lost control of himself just now.

But who was he? He was Dai Mubai! It was true that he liked beautiful women, but he would never become a bootlicker.

He would only take advantage of them in every way.

Now that Ning Rongrong viewed him like this, a wave of fury rose in his heart.

If she hadn't had a Soul Emperor beside her, he would have already taken action, raping and killing the girl, then raping and killing her again.

Dai Mubai took a deep breath and barely suppressed his anger. "I'm sorry, you two. I wrongly accused you just now. My name is Dai Mubai, and I'm a student at Shrek. I was originally chasing someone who owed our Shrek Academy money, but I was ambushed halfway here. That's how I ended up like this."

As he spoke, he subconsciously reached toward the back of his head. He found that it had swollen up completely. When he lightly touched it, the pain made him bare his teeth.

Ning Rongrong asked in surprise, "Your name is Mubai too?"

"That's right. Is there a problem?" Dai Mubai paused, then asked in confusion, unable to make heads or tails of her question.

"Damn it! That bastard tricked me again!" Ning Rongrong stomped her feet furiously once more.

She no longer knew how many times she had suffered at Lin Yuan's hands that day.

The female Soul Emperor guard calmly explained, "Not long ago, someone calling himself Mubai passed through here. He should be the person you're looking for. He's already long gone."
