Disgusting People and Deeds! Going Out in Disguise

Zhu Zhuqing turned toward the person calling her.

The newcomer had black hair and wore a pale blue fitted outfit. Most striking was the belt around his waist, set with twenty-four pieces of jade.

Beside him stood a girl with a black scorpion braid. She wore a short pink top and white trousers, giving her a fresh, lively air.

The girl was the one who had called out.

"Hi, I'm Xiao Wu, and this is my brother Tang San."

"Are you here to train at Shrek Academy too?"

Xiao Wu was innocent and lively. Though she had only just met Zhu Zhuqing, she spoke as if they were already friends.

"No, I'm here to eat." Zhu Zhuqing answered coldly. Seeing Xiao Wu's startled expression gave her a private thrill.

No wonder that bastard has such a sharp tongue. Talking back feels great!

Zhu Zhuqing watched Xiao Wu's expression change, secretly delighted.

"Forget it, Xiao Wu. She obviously doesn't want to talk to us." Tang San gently tugged Xiao Wu back. His brow furrowed slightly as he spoke softly.

"Oh." Xiao Wu obediently stepped back, but she kept staring at Zhu Zhuqing, her gaze occasionally darting toward her curves.

There was a simple reason.

Zhu Zhuqing was beautiful, tall, and full-figured. By comparison, Xiao Wu had rather less to show.

People always longed for what they lacked, especially what they had never had.

Tang San studied the unapproachable girl, his brow still furrowed. There was scrutiny in his gaze, but he said nothing and merely watched.

Xiao Wu noticed and gently shook his hand. "Brother San, what's wrong?" Tang San shook his head to indicate it was nothing and smiled.

Soon, it was Zhu Zhuqing's turn to be tested.

She stepped lightly onto the testing platform. Her exquisite face and icy expression immediately caught the eye of a blond young man helping organize the tests nearby.

"What a beauty. If only I could..." A smile flickered in the blond young man's eyes. He stared at her, seemingly lost in some fantasy.

Zhu Zhuqing, on the platform, knew nothing of this. She released her Martial Soul and instantly transformed into a seductive cat girl. She gained an alluring air, though she felt even more dangerous. Two Yellow Soul Rings then appeared beneath her feet.

Li Yusong had been paying little attention, but once he saw her bone age and two Soul Rings, his eyes widened. Disbelief filled his face.

His earlier disregard vanished. He called over the blond young man, who was still staring in a daze.

"Dai Mubai, come take her inside." Li Yusong's words delighted the blond young man. He hurried over and put on a gentlemanly manner.

Many of the girls below flared with anger at the sight, as though their prince charming had been stolen. One after another, they glared resentfully.

"Hello, I'm Dai Mubai. Congratulations on becoming a student of Shrek Academy."

Dai Mubai deliberately acted the gentleman. If not for what had happened earlier, Zhu Zhuqing might actually have believed him. But there was no if.

"Get lost!"

Zhu Zhuqing's icy rebuke left no room for him to guide her anywhere. She glanced at Li Yusong as well, disgust flashing in her eyes.

Birds of a feather flock together. What disgusting people. What a trash academy!

Zhu Zhuqing stepped down from the testing platform with disdain in her eyes. Unbidden, the memory of that day beneath the tree resurfaced.

Ning Kitten, what are you doing now? Will I ever see you again?

Suotuo City!

A thought suddenly struck Zhu Zhuqing. Her eyes lit up as an idea took shape.

But Dai Mubai stuck to her like a burr, coming up to her again.

"Get lost!"

Everyone heard her clearly. The applicants waiting to be tested started and turned to look, curiosity in their eyes.

The girls glared at Zhu Zhuqing through clenched teeth.

"Haha..." Dai Mubai laughed awkwardly, but wild delight grew in his eyes. It seemed that winning over such a fierce, icy beauty would be all the more satisfying.

His shamelessness only deepened Zhu Zhuqing's disgust. Ning Kitten was far more likable.

Ning Kitten was, of course, the nickname Zhu Zhuqing had given Ning Chengyi.

As for Dai Mubai, she had not known his name at first. Now that she did, she disliked him even more.

Zhu Zhuqing ignored him and headed farther in, following the directions Li Yusong had given.

"Boss, have you fallen for her?"

After Zhu Zhuqing had walked away, Tang San and Xiao Wu came over and asked with a smile.

They had arrived early, so they had already become somewhat familiar with him.

"She's a rose with thorns. That only makes her more of a challenge."

"What about those girls? You don't want them anymore?" Xiao Wu cut in, pointing at the girls who were indignant on his behalf.

"They're nothing special. How could they compare to a rose with thorns?"

Dai Mubai kept his eyes on the departing Zhu Zhuqing as he spoke with conviction.

"Come on. Let's go take a look."

"Brother San, that girl's really pretty too. Should we invite her along?"

Xiao Wu had suddenly noticed a girl in a white dress. Her hair was cut to her ears, and everything about her carried an air of nobility.

"If I remember right, her name is Ning Rongrong. Invite her if you want to." Tang San spoke softly, looking at Xiao Wu with affection before glancing toward the girl.

Before long, Xiao Wu came back holding Ning Rongrong's hand.

The group headed inside.

But they had not gone far when a hawker's cry reached them.

"Hot sausages! Anyone want one?"

"Brother San, Brother San, sausages..." Xiao Wu laughed, a hungry gleam in her eyes as she tugged at Tang San.

"Don't eat those, kid!"

Dai Mubai had been walking ahead, still thinking about how to win Zhu Zhuqing over. He seemed to jump in alarm and hurriedly turned to stop them.

"Why?"

"Just watch."

Dai Mubai told them to wait. The "old man" who had just sold a sausage now wore a wicked grin. He raised his right hand slightly, his Yellow Soul Ring trembling as he chanted in a strange voice: "I Have a Big Sausage!"

Something stirred, and waves of meaty aroma spread through the air. A thick, plump sausage appeared in his hand.

His eyes narrowed. Grinning, he looked the sausage over and bounced it lightly in his hand. His chuckle made him look even more lecherous.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had already walked some distance away, saw this and frowned again. He was lecherous beyond belief.

Disgust showed in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she looked at this "old man." She could not help picturing that neat, strikingly handsome young man.

What a pity... she sighed inwardly.

"His name's Oscar. He sells sausages."

With that, Dai Mubai walked away.

Xiao Wu had lost her appetite. In fact, she felt sick.

Meanwhile, inside the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong held the latest report, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes.

"What an outstanding little fellow."

"Yue Guan, announce that I've entered seclusion. I have something to attend to outside."

"Yes, Your Eminence."

The trace of a smile on Bibi Dong's face left Yue Guan bewildered. This was the second time he had seen her like this.

He truly could not understand what could be so captivating about that message.

Bibi Dong returned to her room and changed into clothes that were not particularly luxurious. Using a book from Spirit Hall's least-regarded collection, she made a few simple changes to her appearance. She checked the mirror, then left, satisfied.

By now, Bibi Dong looked like a different person.

"This Disguise Technique may be low-level, but it works rather well."

"I wonder if that little fellow will recognize me."

Bibi Dong touched her new face, smiling with satisfaction. In a flash, she set off toward Heaven Dou City.

At that moment.

Yu Tianheng had booked a Yellow Grade room at Nightglow Tower to celebrate Yu Shuo's recovery from his injuries.

Through roundabout questions, Yu Shuo learned that his elder brother had not avenged him and had not even found the person responsible.

He ground his teeth in hatred and proposed a visit to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Yu Tianheng felt guilty about failing to avenge him and bringing shame upon the family. Besides, a visit was no great matter, so he agreed. He could also show Yu Shuo some Soul Fighting.

After several rounds of food and drink, the group set off for the academy.
