Watching the two embrace so intimately before him, Dai Mubai's chest instantly filled with unbearable frustration and fury.
He stared fixedly at Zhu Zhuqing, held tightly in Chen Yang's arms, taking in her crimson ears and the way she nestled obediently against him.
And Chen Yang's constantly roaming hand, his possessive stance-the humiliation of being made a cuckold surged straight to Dai Mubai's head.
She was his fiancée! That should have been his place!!
But now she belonged to someone else, held in another man's arms!
Towering rage and jealousy churned wildly in his eyes. His fists clenched almost instinctively, and his teeth ground audibly.
But reason held him in an iron grip-he couldn't win. Lashing out in public now would only bring humiliation upon himself.
He forcibly shoved that overwhelming rage back down, until his chest ached from it and his breathing grew heavy and labored.
Chen Yang found this display of facial contortions immensely satisfying~
I just love watching people envy me when they can't do a thing about me~
Seeing Dai Mubai's powerless display, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help feeling a surge of satisfaction either. A mocking smile curled her lips.
If he dared attack Yang, I might actually think a little more of him. Sadly, he was nothing but a coward.
Dai Mubai's hands hung limply at his sides. He couldn't bear to simply turn around and leave-this was his chance to stay alive!
But if he stayed, he would look like a clown.
Just then, Tang San gently patted his shoulder.
Dai Mubai's lips moved a few times.
"San..."
Tang San shook his head and put on a friendly smile.
He thought that since he, Xiao Wu, and Chen Yang had at least been classmates before, they ought to do him this favor.
"Chen Yang, Xiao Wu, long time no see. Young Master Dai is just a little... I've been waiting for you all these years. What have you been off doing..."
Xiao Wu interrupted him impatiently.
"What the hell does it have to do with you?! Why do you have to stick your nose into everything?"
Tang San stiffened, struggling to maintain the smile on his face.
Don't get angry. Don't get angry. I have to endure this!
"My mistake. How about I take you to the dorms? You must be tired from your journey, right? Let us show you some hospitality."
Flender's face darkened. These three had bankrupted him the moment they arrived at Shrek. He couldn't wait for them to leave.
Why was Tang San insisting on keeping them here?
Meanwhile, a gleam flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes. That was his good brother Tang San for you!
Once they moved into the dorms, the men and women would definitely stay separately. Then I'd have a chance to approach Zhu Zhuqing!
What a brother! I, Dai Mubai, will remember this for the rest of my life!
"Fine. Lead the way."
Chen Yang didn't refuse. Hadn't he come to Shrek Academy to farm rewards and snatch Ning Rongrong away first? Besides, there was more fun to be had. Staying a little longer was fine; he would be sleeping in Inversion Space anyway.
Smiling, Tang San led the way.
Fortunately, the dorms were far enough from their battlefield that they hadn't been caught up in the destruction.
But at the sight of the dilapidated wooden huts covered in moss, Ning Rongrong's face filled with disgust. She didn't even try to hide it.
"You expect us to stay here?!"
Tang San smiled awkwardly.
"This is already the best the academy has..."
He glanced sideways at Dai Mubai's expectant face and silently apologized. He didn't know what relationship Dai Mubai had with that Zhu Zhuqing.
But for the sake of his plan to win them over, he could only let him down.
"Chen Yang, since you and Zhu Zhuqing are a couple, you can stay in this dorm together. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong can stay in the other girls' dorm."
Dai Mubai turned to stare at Tang San in disbelief.
Shock and anger filled him, his mind brimming with accusations: When you first took everyone to settle into the dorms, wasn't it specifically to give me and Zhu Zhuqing a chance to be alone together?!
But Tang San completely ignored his gaze, as though he hadn't seen anything. He continued talking to Chen Yang, volunteering to ask what furniture he needed and whether he wanted help buying it.
Beside them, Xiao Wu glared fiercely at Tang San, her eyes blazing with anger. She was so furious she wanted to tear him apart on the spot!
Ning Rongrong had no objection. In fact, she was pleased with the arrangement.
This Xiao Wu didn't look very bright. Getting information out of her should be much easier than getting it out of Zhu Zhuqing.
As Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong headed to the girls' dorm, Chen Yang and Zhu Zhuqing entered their little room.
Alone in a room with a man, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little nervous.
"Yang, maybe I should switch with Sister Xiao Wu..."
"Shh~ Don't speak."
Chen Yang pressed his index finger against Zhu Zhuqing's lips and motioned with his eyes for her to look outside the door.
(Yang, is that Dai Mubai outside?)
(Yes. Follow my lead.)
Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly, her cheeks growing warm.
She no longer merely wanted revenge on Dai Mubai. For some inexplicable reason, she was beginning to enjoy the thrill of this secret intimacy.
Outside the dorm, Dai Mubai pressed his entire body against the door to eavesdrop, still clinging to one last shred of hope.
As long as they hadn't crossed that line, I still had a chance to win Zhu Zhuqing back!
Just then, a short cry from Zhu Zhuqing suddenly rang out inside the room.
"Ah~"
Then came a series of hushed gasps.
"Mmm~ Ah~ Mmm~"
Dai Mubai's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, his face twisting savagely. The jealousy and fury within him exploded completely, and he wanted nothing more than to kick the door open and tear the two inside to pieces!
He panted heavily, his chest heaving wildly. The viciousness he had suppressed to its limit was on the verge of breaking free.
His trembling palm slowly pressed against the door.
Dai Mubai closed his eyes and ran away without looking back, terrified that he would lose control.
Meanwhile, inside the room.
Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth as Chen Yang's finger kept roaming over her lower abdomen and the front of her body. The strange sensation drew one muffled sound after another from her lips.
Especially when Chen Yang's finger passed over the acupoints on her peaks, that peculiar sensation grew even stronger, leaving her legs weak.
She was so embarrassed that she lowered her head, unable to look at Chen Yang.
"All right~ That's the circulation route for the Everlasting Primordial Essence Art. Have you memorized it?"
Chen Yang withdrew the finger resting against Zhu Zhuqing's lower abdomen and asked gently.
Zhu Zhuqing gave a quiet murmur of assent, as faint as a mosquito's hum-almost inaudible unless he listened closely.
"Now try circulating it yourself."
"Mm."
Zhu Zhuqing's legs gave way, and she sank onto the bed, then crossed her legs and began circulating her energy along the route she had memorized.
Watching her, Chen Yang clicked his tongue in wonder. Her memory was much better than Xiao Wu's. When he had taught Xiao Wu before, he'd had to trace it out for her more than ten times.
Once he saw Zhu Zhuqing complete a perfect circulation along the route, Chen Yang turned his attention away.
He summoned the Master Ball and sent a message to Yveltal.
(Little Yveltal, use Life Absorption. Repeatedly absorb small amounts of life energy from everyone in this academy except me and the three girls with me.)
(Yes, Master.)
A red light flashed from the Master Ball, and an invisible ripple enveloped the entire academy.
Wisps of red energy flowed silently into the Master Ball.
Ever since Yveltal hatched, Chen Yang had been testing how its abilities had changed on the Douluo Continent.
Then he discovered that when it absorbed Soul Masters' life energy, it also absorbed their Soul Power at the same time.
Heh heh heh~
I wonder how Tang San and the others will react when they discover that the more they cultivate, the lower their Soul Power Level gets.
And I can keep earning system rewards too. What a killing!
