Low Hills and Stinking Waters Meet a Kindred Spirit, the Twin Stars of Barren Mountains and Wretched Waters

Suotuo City, the Rose Hotel lobby.

Tang San and Dai Mubai stood a dozen meters apart, their eyes locked, swords drawn and bows bent.

After exchanging several rounds of blows, the two had become acquainted through fighting.

Both were preparing their next attack...

"You're awful..."

"You're awful..."

"You're awful..."

"???"

Tang San and Dai Mubai instinctively looked toward the source of the voice.

At the foot of the stairs, a handsome young man wore a helpless expression.

The pretty girl's face was flushed, her little fists striking his abdomen with the gentlest of blows.

"Shameless couple!" ×2

At such a "serious" moment, this shameless couple wasn't taking them seriously at all!

Tang San and Dai Mubai exchanged another glance. Neither continued attacking; instead, they settled in to watch the drama.

Seeing this, everyone turned toward Chu Sheng and Ning Rongrong. They were deeply curious, too.

Watching other people's drama was human nature.

Before long, the silence began to make Ning Rongrong uncomfortable.

She instinctively glanced around and froze...

Her face, already red with anger, flushed even deeper!

The entire hotel was quiet because everyone was watching them!

"What are you looking at? Never seen a young lady hit someone?!"

Ning Rongrong tore away her pretense, planted her hands on her hips, and swept her gaze around as though looking at trash.

Everyone: "..."

Having witnessed Ning Rongrong "hitting someone" and now seeing her like this, nobody found her vicious or unreasonable. On the contrary, she seemed rather cute!

Damn, this brother's got it good!

Dai Mubai looked at Chu Sheng and thought to himself.

Nobody spoke. They simply watched Ning Rongrong in silence.

When had she ever suffered such a "cold shoulder"?

Her arrogant bluster immediately wilted a little.

Ning Rongrong stamped her foot, furious yet helpless.

If she were a Battle Soul Master, she would have taught these scumbags a lesson without hesitation!

But she was only a support Soul Master with no combat ability!

When she lost her temper, not only were these people unafraid, their eyes grew even more teasing...

Damn them! Damn them all!!

"You awful jerk, help me teach them a lesson!"

Ning Rongrong grabbed Chu Sheng's hand, her face filled with aggrieved fury.

She was the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. How could she endure such humiliation?

Chu Sheng was the nearest "tool" at hand, and the one she was most "familiar" with.

Even if he was only a Soul Grandmaster, with her enhancements, he could still put up a fight against a Soul Elder!

"Hmm?"

Chu Sheng paused and looked down at Ning Rongrong.

As expected of the Little Demoness, she wanted to teach people a lesson whenever something displeased her.

"Sure."

Chu Sheng nodded and continued.

"But... hiring me comes with a hefty appearance fee!"

Their faces were less than ten centimeters apart as they stared at each other.

Ding... Ning Rongrong's affection has increased!

Chu Sheng: "..."

Ning Rongrong blinked, looking at Chu Sheng in surprise.

He had actually agreed?

He hadn't lectured her, nor had he shown even a trace of disgust.

She had already dropped her pretense. Why?

"Appearance fee?"

The corner of Ning Rongrong's eye twitched, and the little flicker of gratitude she had just felt rapidly vanished.

"Hey, you awful jerk!"

"They're laughing at us! That's why I'm angry!"

"I'm standing up for us, and you still want an appearance fee?"

Ning Rongrong felt numb, her composure crumbling even further!

Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu: "..."

"Young lady, you're treating me as your tool."

Chu Sheng spread his hands and continued.

"So it's perfectly reasonable for me to treat you as my moneybag, right?"

"Besides, let them look. I don't care."

Everyone: "..."

This shameless couple actually had their principles!

The girl treated the guy as a tool.

The guy treated the girl as a moneybag.

Truly, low hills and stinking waters had found a kindred spirit-the twin stars of barren mountains and wretched waters!

Hearing this,

Ning Rongrong clenched her delicate fists, nearly grinding her back teeth to pieces.

How could a person be this shameless?

Wait!

How did he know what she was thinking?

She really was treating him as a tool...

"How much?"

She, Ning Rongrong, wasn't short of money. Her family had mountains of it!

Once the fighting started, she would wait a little before enhancing him!

Let him take the money and get beaten up!

Chu Sheng said nothing, holding up one finger.

"One hundred Gold Soul Coins?"

Chu Sheng shook his head.

"One thousand Gold Soul Coins?"

Ning Rongrong frowned, somewhat displeased.

One thousand Gold Soul Coins to hire a Soul Grandmaster?

Yes, she was rich, but she wasn't stupid!

Chu Sheng shook his head.

"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins?"

Ning Rongrong laughed in anger and asked tentatively.

A mere Soul Grandmaster wanted ten thousand Gold Soul Coins?

"Young lady, under normal circumstances, ten thousand Gold Soul Coins wouldn't be enough to get me to act."

"I'm only giving you a friends' discount because you're cute!"

The corners of Chu Sheng's mouth lifted slightly as he spoke with a smile.

He was telling the truth!

Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins to hire an "uncanny Soul Saint" like him? Impossible!

Not only Ning Rongrong, but everyone present was stunned!

So young, yet so full of big talk?

"Hah, I'll believe you this once!"

Ning Rongrong took a gold card from her Storage Soul Tool and tossed it to Chu Sheng.

She didn't believe a word of his nonsense!

Once he had been thoroughly beaten, she would teach him what humility meant!

And take the Gold Soul Coin card back while she was at it!

Since he had called her cute, she would refrain from finding someone to teach him a lesson...

Chu Sheng caught the gold card and put it into his Storage Soul Tool without even looking at it.

Money really was easy to earn from people like Young Lady Ning!

One Gold Soul Coin was worth roughly ten thousand Blue Star Coins!

Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins was no small sum.

"Now that I've been paid, let's get down to business."

Chu Sheng straightened his collar and walked toward the lobby.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong immediately released her Martial Soul without hesitation.

"Seven treasures turn, revealing glazed tiles!"

The next instant, an exquisite little seven-colored pagoda appeared in her hand.

Two yellow Soul Rings also swiftly rose from beneath her feet.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

"No wonder..."

Seeing Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul, Tang San nearly cried out in surprise.

Now he understood why this girl could produce ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the wealthiest sect on the entire Douluo Continent.

Although Ning Rongrong had released her Martial Soul, she showed no intention of enhancing Chu Sheng.

She leaned against the banister, holding her little pagoda, looking ready to enjoy the show.

By now, Chu Sheng had reached the center of the lobby.

He glanced around, sensing several figures concealed in the shadows.

There were Soul Kings, Soul Emperors, and even a Titled Douluo.

He didn't need to guess who these people were.

"Everyone, our young lady is having a temper tantrum and wants you taught a lesson. Please bear with us."

Chu Sheng hardly needed to say that. Everyone present had seen it for themselves.

"You may be strong, and you have a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to enhance your strength."

Tang San looked at Chu Sheng, paused, and continued.

"But you shouldn't have provoked everyone here!"

"Third Brother is right! No matter how strong you are, can you really defeat all of us?"

Xiao Wu instantly activated Martial Soul Possession, came to Tang San's side, and chimed in.

Dai Mubai looked at Tang San, then at Xiao Wu, feeling a little pleasantly surprised.

Not because of the upcoming fight, but because he was about to have a junior schoolmate and a junior schoolgirl!

With that young lady added to the mix, this year's Shrek intake was going to be lively.

They were all Soul Grandmasters who looked about twelve. What else could have brought them to Suotuo City at this time?
