Wore Tang San's Butt Cheeks Raw
He groggily opened his eyes and instinctively tried to sit up.
As a result, he braced himself with his palms, lifted his buttocks upwards, and then slammed back down heavily.
The excruciating pain of the pebble digging into his wound caused him to let out a strange cry, and he collapsed back down.
"Oops--!"
He was in pain, so he reached behind his back with both hands, his fingertips touching sticky blood and small pebbles embedded in his flesh.
He braced himself against the ground to lift his upper body, then glanced down behind him.
Those two buttocks, rubbed raw and bleeding, came into his view.
His trousers were torn to shreds from the thigh down.
Hanging on her legs, the underwear underneath was only held together by the elastic band around the waist; the rest was completely worn away.
Tang San's lips trembled slightly.
They managed to cover it up with those few scraps of cloth, but if they covered the front, they couldn't cover the back, and if they covered the back, the front would let in the wind.
His face turned from white to red and then from red to green, his teeth were grinding together, and the fire inside him was about to burst out of his throat.
He cursed inwardly, "Ye Lin, you son of a bitch! Couldn't you have carried me on your back?!"
"They insisted on making me lie on the ground while pulling me down!"
"Why don't you hold Zhu Zhuqing's hand? She has a big bottom, she won't get chafed."
"Why don't you take Oscar with you? He's tough and isn't afraid of getting hurt."
"You have to drag me along!"
"Look at the mess you've made of my butt! It's fucking rubbed raw!"
"I'm speechless! I've never seen anything like it! Ouch, that hurts so much!"
The people present, upon hearing Tang San's inner thoughts, wished they could beat Tang San up on the spot, but they were simply too exhausted.
Xiao Wu glared fiercely at Tang San.
"Brother Lin has already done a great job by dragging you along, and you're still being so picky. Look how exhausted Brother Lin is! You should have been kicked into a ditch by Boss Dai just now."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression also changed. "That filthy Tang San, all he has in his head are those filthy thoughts. What do you mean I have a big butt and I'm not afraid of being rubbed?"
"Wouldn't that make it even more dangerous to grind it up, grinding away all the meat?"
Oscar panicked when he heard Tang San say that he had thick skin and tough flesh, cursing inwardly.
"I'm tough and thick-skinned. Didn't you grow up working as Blacksmith? You're supposed to be strong, but you're calling me tough and thick-skinned."
"This piece of trash can't even handle a little hardship. You think you can be the God King? You might as well just die."
"Seriously, all you do is take advantage of Ye Lin's kindness. If Ye Lin hadn't stopped you, you would have been dead and turned into wolf droppings outside long ago."
Despite their inner turmoil, everyone had to keep moving forward.
Tang San gritted his teeth, took off his shirt, tied it around his waist to cover his bloodied buttocks, and limped after the group.
With each step he took, the chafed wounds on his inner thighs and buttocks were pulled, causing his mouth to twitch in pain.
He tried to take smaller steps, but the smaller his steps, the slower his pace became.
The line ahead had already spread out several meters.
He could only grit his teeth and quicken his pace, swallowing the pain.
After an unknown amount of time, a grayish-white outline finally appeared on the distant horizon.
Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the other teachers stood in the open space at the city gate.
When everyone saw those familiar figures at the city gate, the tension they had been holding in finally dissipated.
One by one, they fell to the ground.
Ye Lin was the last to fall.
Before he fell, he vaguely saw Yu Xiaogang take a step towards him and reach out his hand, but he didn't catch him and fell directly into the darkness.
When he woke up again, he was soaking in a large bathtub.
The bathtub is made of wood.
The water was dark brown and emitted a strong, complex medicinal aroma.
The aroma of various herbs he couldn't name mingled together, and steam rose from the water's surface.
The bruises on my back and waist, caused by the weight, have faded considerably, changing from dark purple to light yellow.
Deep within the bones of his right leg, a warm power was slowly flowing; it was the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone operating spontaneously under the stimulation of the medicine.
The area around the eight spider legs felt slightly numb, as if they were also absorbing the medicinal power from the liquid.
Ye Lin leaned against the edge of the bathtub, his mind slowly turning.
He remembered, back at the Nuoding Academy,
Yu Xiaogang would give him a medicinal bath once a month to promote blood circulation and improve his physical condition.
Yu Xiaogang managed to scrape together that amount by saving every penny.
After all, Ye Lin didn't have much money.
Even Yu Xiaogang's savings accumulated over the years can't withstand such extravagance.
How much does this vat of medicine cost?
He looked around and realized he wasn't the only one soaking in the tub.
There were several wooden bathtubs of the same size next to it, lined up in a row, each with a person soaking in it.
He mentally calculated how much this would cost.
It must be a considerable sum.
"Woke up?"
Ye Lin looked up.
Yu Xiaogang stood at the door, holding a rough porcelain bowl filled with clear soup.
He walked over, placed the bowl on the wooden stool next to Ye Lin, glanced at the water in the bathtub, and nodded. "The medicine is being absorbed well. Soak for another half an hour, don't soak for too long, too strong a medicine can be harmful."
He paused for a moment, as if he knew what Ye Lin was thinking.
"You don't need to worry about the money."
Ye Lin opened his mouth, but the question "How much will this cost?" stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.
Yu Xiaogang had already turned and was walking towards the door. He paused at the doorway, turned his head, and said, "Although your teacher is poor, I won't skimp on what needs to be spent. Enjoy your soak."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and left.
Yu Xiaogang pushed open the door, and as soon as he closed it, he saw Flender leaning against the wall across the corridor, arms crossed.
"Even though I'm poor, I won't skimp on what needs to be spent. Enjoy your soak."
Flender repeated Yu Xiaogang's words in a high-pitched voice, his tone carrying a sarcastic undertone.
He pushed up his glasses, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"You really put on a big show. How are we going to resolve the money issue?"
Yu Xiaogang walked past Flender without changing his expression.
"It's alright, don't worry about it."
Flender rolled his eyes.
"It has nothing to do with you, huh? The bills were all sent to me."
I'll fucking strangle you!
He counted on his fingers.
"Eight tubs of medicinal baths, each using top-grade herbs, such as century-old ginseng, thousand-year-old lingzhi, blood dragon ginseng, and ice crystal grass, each more expensive than the last. This trip alone cost a Gold Soul Coin in medicine alone."
"In addition to the bamboo baskets we bought and the weight-bearing stones we ordered, the academy's expenses over the past few months have also included the best ingredients for our meals."
"Shrek Academy's accounts are empty. All the tuition fees collected have been spent, and they even owe two thousand Gold Soul Coin."
Yu Xiaogang listened to Flender finish reciting the string of numbers, his face showing no extra expression.
Because Yu Xiaogang already knew from Tang San's inner thoughts.
In its previous life, Shrek Academy also owed a lot of money, which it won back through the Great Soul Arena.
Moreover, they made a fortune through betting.
Then this life can be completely replicated.
"Don't worry, everything is under control."
