Dai Mubai Laughed: Xu Ran Was a Zhu Family Disciple

Shrek Academy, the student dormitory area.

"You mean Xu Ran comes from the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire?" Dai Mubai was swathed in bandages, but he could not spare a thought for them now. Enduring the pain throughout his body, he sat up in bed and asked Ma Hongjun in astonishment.

He had never imagined that Xu Ran was actually a member of the Zhu Family.

Since Xu Ran came from the Zhu Family, he must know who Dai Mubai was. The reason Xu Ran had hit him so hard was that he had already been dissatisfied with him.

As for the reason for that dissatisfaction, it could only be Zhu Zhuqing.

Because he was Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, Xu Ran had been deeply displeased upon seeing him. That was because Xu Ran liked Zhu Zhuqing too. After all, Zhu Zhuqing was so beautiful, with such perfect curves, that anyone would be moved by a girl like her. It was only natural for Xu Ran to fall for Zhu Zhuqing.

"That's right. That's what my teacher said. The Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire-I heard it very clearly," Ma Hongjun said, nodding. He did not know why Dai Mubai became so excited upon learning that Xu Ran came from the Zhu Family. Could Dai Mubai know of that family too?

"So that's it. I was wondering why that bastard Xu Ran hit me so hard. So that's why." As Dai Mubai spoke, he could not help laughing aloud. Although his body was covered in bandages and every inch of his flesh throbbed with intense pain, he still could not help wanting to laugh.

So what if Xu Ran was a monstrous talent? So what if he could thrash him despite being five levels below him? Hadn't he beaten him so badly precisely because the woman he liked was Dai Mubai's fiancée?

At that thought, Dai Mubai felt an extraordinary sense of satisfaction.

Now he understood why Xu Ran had looked at him so coldly. He had been displeased with him all along, and had only attacked him because he happened to run into him on this visit to Shrek Academy.

"Xu Ran, oh, Xu Ran. Even if you're an unparalleled genius, you're nothing but a little boy when it comes to love. Zhu Zhuqing is my fiancée. What does she have to do with you?"

"Once my Zhu Zhuqing gets here, I'll make sure you learn what suffering means. There's nothing wrong with me being affectionate with my fiancée and holding her in my arms, is there? But those perfectly ordinary gestures will cut deep into your pride," Dai Mubai said, unable to keep from wanting to laugh.

He had already made up his mind. Once Xu Ran returned to Shrek Academy, he would go and bring Zhu Zhuqing to Shrek Academy too. Then he would make sure Xu Ran learned what humiliation meant.

Zhu Zhuqing was the one Xu Ran liked. When the time came, the sight of him embracing Zhu Zhuqing and being intimate with her would surely enrage Xu Ran enough to make him cough up blood.

Moreover, Xu Ran's surname was Xu, making him a collateral-branch disciple of the Zhu Family, while Zhu Zhuqing was the Zhu Family's second young lady. As her fiancé, his status was somewhat higher than Xu Ran's. Even if Xu Ran refused to submit to Dai Mubai, he would still have to listen to Zhu Zhuqing, the Zhu Family's second young lady.

When the time came, he would have Zhu Zhuqing reject Xu Ran to his face, or even humiliate him, dealing a tremendous blow to his pride.

Although his strength fell far short of Xu Ran's, he had already won a complete victory in love. No matter how much Zhu Zhuqing disliked him, she had to understand that she was his fiancée. In matters like these, she would certainly take his side. After all, Xu Ran was merely an outsider.

"Mubai, Xu Ran is very strong, and our teacher thinks highly of him now. He isn't someone we can afford to provoke," Ma Hongjun said solemnly. Although he did not understand what Dai Mubai meant, he reminded him anyway. Xu Ran's strength rivaled that of a Soul Emperor. He was an unparalleled monstrous talent, and someone like him would surely stand at the pinnacle of the entire continent in the future.

In any case, he would not go looking for reasons to provoke Xu Ran. He only wanted to cling to Xu Ran's coattails.

Of course, Ma Hongjun had not told Dai Mubai about Xu Ran's true strength, nor had he told him that Xu Ran had injured Flender as well. He had already warned Dai Mubai. If he went on to provoke Xu Ran, that would be his own problem and have nothing to do with Ma Hongjun.

"There are some things you don't understand." Dai Mubai shook his head, smiling without another word.

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful face could not help surfacing in his mind. In a few more days, he would go and bring Zhu Zhuqing to Shrek Academy. Although Xiao Wu was very pretty, her figure fell far short of his fiancée's. In his heart, Zhu Zhuqing was the most beautiful girl in the world.

Following the map provided by the system, Xu Ran headed straight for a mountain range.

That mountain range was where Tang Hao had hidden the seed Ah Yin had left behind, and it was also Xu Ran's destination on this trip.

"So this is where Ah Yin is? Tang Hao really hid her well." Xu Ran looked around and could not help sighing. According to the map, Ah Yin was currently behind the waterfall before him. Had he not had the map, he probably would never have imagined that another world lay behind that waterfall.

Xu Ran used his Soul Power to part the water and rushed straight into a damp cave.

The cave was deep, and its interior was very moist.

One glance was enough to tell that Tang Hao had carved this place out specifically for Ah Yin.

Xu Ran walked into the cave and immediately spotted a slender stalk of Blue Silver Grass. He carefully pulled it out.

At once, the system's voice rang out.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host on completing the mission."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, host, on receiving four hundred Skill Points. Assorted quantities of Plant Cultivation Solution..."

Xu Ran transplanted the stalk of Blue Silver Grass into the flowerpot he had prepared long beforehand, then took out the Plant Cultivation Solution rewarded by the system and dripped a few drops onto it. Immediately, the Blue Silver Grass's slender stem and leaves trembled visibly, and its blades grew somewhat more vibrant.

At the sight, Xu Ran could not help smiling.

Now that Ah Yin was in his hands, he was no longer worried that Tang Hao could stir up any waves. Most importantly, Ah Yin was also incomparably beautiful. As the saying went, a hundred-thousand-year female soul beast that underwent Soul Beast Transformation was bound to be a peerless beauty.

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin was certainly no ordinary painted beauty. Her beauty would not even fall much short of Xiao Wu's. Most importantly, Ah Yin had a very gentle disposition. She was the sort of woman as tender and graceful as jade.

Once he exposed Tang Hao's true face before Ah Yin, wouldn't he be able to add another woman to his harem?

Who knew how many Skill Points it would take to draw that enhanced Plant Cultivation Solution?

If he could not win Ah Yin over, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?

"Host dear, could you stop thinking about building a harem all day long? It isn't good to have too many women. Haven't you heard the old saying? With no woman in your heart, you'll draw your sword like a god. Women will affect the speed of your sword draw," the system girl reminded him from the side, somewhat worried about his health.

"Who says? All I've ever heard is, hold a girl in your arms, and your damage doubles. All that stuff you're talking about comes from pedantic old swordsmen who lead their students astray. It has no value whatsoever," Xu Ran said, rejecting the system girl's suggestion outright.

What was the point of transmigrating if he did not chase girls? Was he supposed to become a eunuch?
