A restaurant.
A private room on the second floor.
A handsome boy arrived with two stunning girls.
They went straight to a table by the window and sat down.
Lin Mo rattled off dish after dish.
Most were nourishing foods and medicinal tonics.
He and Xiao Wu had been getting up to plenty these past few days, so they needed to replenish their bodies properly.
Mostly, though, it was the girl who was sore down below who needed nourishment.
He could keep going for another ten days and nights without a problem!!
"All right, all right! We're already going to have trouble finishing all this!!"
Xiao Wu, sitting across from him, hurriedly stopped him.
The dishes kept coming, piling up into a mountain!!
"If we can't finish it, we'll take our time. We've got plenty of time anyway."
Lin Mo set down the menu and spoke leisurely.
It had been a long time since he'd last enjoyed morning tea, too.
Today was the perfect chance to relax.
"Is that the biggest brothel in Suotuo City?"
Sitting beside Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the building outside the window and asked.
Across the street stood a tall building with colorful signs hanging by its entrance, impossible to miss!!
Its entire exterior was gaudily decorated, making it obvious at a glance that it was no respectable establishment.
"Yep~ That whoring tiger goes to places like that all the time. Mo and I often see him going in."
Xiao Wu nodded as she ate her Bird's Nest Soup.
Without comparison, there could be no sting.
Looking at the boy across from her, she felt her love for him deepen.
She also glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, whose brows were tightly furrowed beside her.
She decided to help her friend head toward a better man!!
"Zhu Zhuqing, go on and eat. I'll tell you all about that whor... Dai Mubai's escapades over the years while you're at it."
Xiao Wu held nothing back, her words pouring out in an endless stream.
Twin beauties, teaming up with his good buddies for multiplayer romps in the wild...
She told her practically everything she knew.
There was no need to add oil to the fire with embellishments; every detail was the genuine article.
The more Zhu Zhuqing heard, the darker her expression became. Her cool aura turned into a bone-piercing chill.
"Holy shit? What's going on? Why is it so cold?"
Lin Mo, who had been eating while looking at cards, shivered too.
After feeling the icy aura coming from the girl opposite him,
he almost thought Zhu Zhuqing was about to awaken an ice attribute.
But thinking about it, her reaction was perfectly normal. Running away without taking her was bad enough.
Now she'd traveled thousands of miles to find him, only to discover her fiancé visited prostitutes every day?
Anyone would find that unbearable.
"Hm? Here he comes! Zhu Zhuqing, look! That's the whor... Dai Mubai!!"
Xiao Wu pointed out the window, her eyes gleaming.
At the brothel entrance, a blond man emerged with his arms around a pair of twin girls.
He looked as carefree and suave as could be, with red lipstick marks clearly visible on his neck.
The three laughed and chatted, their wandering hands touching here and there.
Finally, they headed together toward a nearby Rose Hotel.
Crack!!
Suddenly, the sound of chopsticks snapping rang out.
"Sorry. I accidentally used too much force."
Zhu Zhuqing slowly set down her chopsticks and spoke without expression.
At that moment, her icy aura instead vanished.
In its place was her usual cool reserve.
"It's fine, it's fine~ How about we go shopping? Suotuo City is really lively!!"
Xiao Wu was good at reading expressions and quickly changed the subject with an invitation.
After all, they had more or less finished eating.
And they had seen Dai Mubai's debauchery for themselves.
It was time to go shopping and clear their heads.
Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo coasted along the entire time.
After all, he couldn't really join in on the girls' conversation.
The three spent most of the rest of the day shopping.
Out on the street, Lin Mo suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.
"Hm? That guy is..."
Outside an ordinary hotel not far away, a boy with short black hair had just walked inside.
Wasn't that Tang San?
He's here too? Heh~ Things are finally going to get interesting.
The corners of Lin Mo's mouth lifted slightly as he thought to himself.
He wondered whether Tang Hao had followed him.
He actually hoped to see him again.
"Mo~! What are you looking at? Hurry up and catch up~"
Xiao Wu's urging voice broke directly into the boy's thoughts.
The two girls had already walked some distance ahead, carrying quite a few things.
Most were pretty clothes and snacks.
After spending a day together, they had quickly become close friends.
"Coming, coming."
Lin Mo smiled and shook his head, then hurried after them.
Once the three grew tired of shopping, they picked a hotel at random and stayed there.
They planned to return to the academy in a couple of days.
Two days later, early in the morning.
The three washed up and left the hotel.
Along the way, Xiao Wu chattered as always, while Zhu Zhuqing occasionally added a few words.
This pairing of ice and fire was especially interesting.
Lin Mo also admired the two girls' different charms along the way.
The distance from the city center to the academy wasn't particularly far.
They walked and took in the sights, arriving soon enough.
"Zhu Zhuqing, aren't you completely disappointed in that guy? Why are you still planning to apply to Shrek Academy?"
Looking at the admissions area not far away, Xiao Wu couldn't help asking curiously.
After two nights of heart-to-heart talks, she already knew quite a bit about the other girl's past.
Of course, that included Dai Mubai running away alone because he clung to life and feared death.
"I'm not joining Shrek Academy for him. I'm doing it for myself. I want to become as strong as you!!"
Zhu Zhuqing answered with a determined gaze.
Yesterday, when she learned that Xiao Wu's Soul Power was at rank forty-two,
she had been so shocked that she couldn't sleep all night.
If she had that kind of talent and strength, why would she bother looking for Dai Mubai?
Taking on two opponents alone would be no problem at all!!
So, in pursuit of strength, she decided to stay beside her close friend, studying and cultivating together!
"Become as strong as me? Well... that takes quite a bit of effort~ Daily backaches and soreness are probably unavoidable."
Xiao Wu paused slightly at her words, then spoke thoughtfully.
Afterward, she instinctively covered her pert little bottom.
If she hadn't met Zhu Zhuqing, she would probably have been limping today, wouldn't she?
Glancing at Lin Mo walking ahead, the girl gave a slight shudder.
A faint tingling and stinging rose from the deepest part of her abdomen.
"I'm not afraid of hardship. I'll work hard."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her expression still cool and resolute.
Ever since awakening her Nether Civet Martial Soul, she had witnessed the cruelty and ruthlessness of her family's competition.
As long as she could grow stronger, what did a little hardship matter?
"It's not really that hard. It's just that your little sister might swell up a lot."
Xiao Wu muttered very quietly.
Her voice was so soft that almost no one could hear it.
Especially with so many people nearby coming to apply for admission.
Hardly anyone heard the girl's whispered words.
