Seeing Dai Huabin actually wet his pants from sheer fright, Li Mu was honestly stunned for a moment.
He had not expected things to turn out like this.
That vicious, ruthless little tyrant Dai Huabin from the original timeline had actually been frightened into wetting his pants by him.
Looking back over what he had done, he really had not done much. He had only been going to kill him. What was so frightening about that?
If he died, he died.
This fellow had arranged assassinations and used the White Tiger Duke's Mansion's influence to bully others.
Why was he so frightened when his own death approached? Li Mu could not quite understand it.
But his expression abruptly grew a few degrees colder.
His smiling face suddenly turned cold. Seeing Li Mu's expression chill, Dai Huabin was truly frightened.
His body was trembling a little. Remembering that the youth had demanded money earlier, Dai Huabin suddenly pressed a hand to his waist.
A Storage Soul Tool was wrapped around his waist. Light flashed across it, and a large quantity of Gold Soul Coins appeared.
He piled the Gold Soul Coins there haphazardly, forming a small mountain.
His other hand tremblingly fished out two purple cards.
"These are VIP savings cards from Shrek Bank. They contain roughly two million Gold Soul Coins."
"That's already an astronomical sum. Two million Gold Soul Coins is two hundred million Copper Soul Coins."
"Brother Li, big brother, I really can't produce ten million! Ten million Gold Soul Coins is far too large a sum."
Dai Huabin's body trembled as he spoke, but his words left Li Mu momentarily stunned. He had originally just named a random figure, never expecting Dai Huabin to actually be able to produce two million Gold Soul Coins.
After all, when he had searched the entire city lord's mansion, he had only obtained a few hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
That was already an astronomical sum. It had been the entire Snow Mountain City lord's mansion, including all the money held in trust for the whole city.
The entire city's money had only amounted to a few hundred thousand, yet Dai Huabin could produce two million on the spot.
The thought shocked even Li Mu, so he did not stand on ceremony.
After reaching out to take the Gold Soul Coin cards and the pile of Gold Soul Coins,
he waved his hand, and everything entered the space within his body.
The Snow Empress silently watched this scene as well, looking at the small mountain of Gold Soul Coins and the two cards that had appeared out of thin air before her.
Her expression was rather strange, and she looked toward another section of the space some distance away.
All the treasures Li Mu had looted from the city lord's mansion were piled there. Their combined value was probably only around five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Yet casually robbing a classmate here had netted him so many Gold Soul Coins.
"Your human society truly is dark. You even have arrangements like this."
"They're all ordinary people. The money an entire city saved for so long can't even compare to the wealth accumulated by one powerful Soul Master here."
A hint of mockery colored the Snow Empress's voice as she spoke.
Although Soul Beasts were no better in this respect, and most Soul Beasts were not even particularly rational,
at least they only treated weaker species as food. To ordinary species, normal Soul Beasts were their food.
They naturally would not care so much about food, but humans were clearly of the same kind, yet they treated their own kind even more cruelly than they treated food.
This was something the Snow Empress found rather difficult to understand, especially since she herself did not need to consume normal food.
That made her find these things even more disgusting. But as for the Snow Empress's strange expression,
Li Mu could not be bothered with her. He stepped forward, raised his hand, and pulled Dai Huabin's belt straight off.
Watching Li Mu's actions, Dai Huabin did not even dare resist.
When Li Mu extended his spiritual power inside, there were indeed some unusual things in it.
Besides some ten-year and hundred-year spirit herbs, there were actually many pieces of unusual metal.
These metals should have been very valuable. The metals of this era bore a certain similarity to gold in Li Mu's previous life.
These metals possessed enormous value in themselves and could be sold for money.
In truth, this was simply because the three great empires were relatively backward. If these things had been in the Sun Moon Empire,
they might long since have been forged into Soul Tools and used to attack the three great empires.
Unfortunately, Soul Tool technology here was truly backward, and there were many of these metals whose various smelting methods they did not understand.
They could only use them as valuable currency for transactions, or as fixed assets.
"Leaving these things with you would just be a waste. I'll take them. Here, this is your payment."
As Li Mu spoke, he raised his hand. A Copper Soul Coin appeared in it, and he gently placed it on Dai Huabin's leg.
Only once he had put away nearly everything did Li Mu smile at Dai Huabin.
Then he pointed at the puddle of yellow filth on the floor.
"I know you're probably planning to move to another dorm room. I don't care about that. You can leave if you want."
"But you have to clean this up before you go. If you don't clean it up, I wouldn't mind finding somewhere to club you from behind."
"You should know that you won't run into a teacher every time."
As Li Mu spoke those final words, his voice abruptly turned cold, and his eyes filled with bone-piercing chill.
Someone like Dai Huabin would never understand what it meant to show mercy.
As long as he had the chance, he would absolutely kill Li Mu without any scruples.
Whatever methods he had to use, whatever the consequences, he would do it.
He had treated even Huo Yuhao, who had no real feud with him, that way, let alone Li Mu.
He had beaten Dai Huabin up, and so brutally at that. The other party had lost all face and even wished he could grind Li Mu's bones to dust and scatter his ashes.
Under these circumstances, the only reason he did not kill him was that he feared being discovered afterward.
Then he feared actually being killed by these brain-dead Soul Masters from Shrek Academy.
Otherwise, he absolutely would not mind finding somewhere to finish Dai Huabin off for good.
And with someone he had already completely torn off all pretense with, Li Mu no longer cared about things like face.
Watching Li Mu and hearing his words, Dai Huabin clenched his fists tightly.
His fingertips had even dug into his flesh, but he still forced himself to lower his fists, not daring to reveal the slightest hostility.
Li Mu paid this no mind and glanced at his bed.
Seeing that there was nothing valuable on it, he calmly turned and headed outside.
He was going to the classroom for today's lessons.
But he was also quite crafty. Once the door had closed and he had taken two steps forward, a mass of water appeared beneath his feet.
Li Mu returned soundlessly to the doorway, where he saw Dai Huabin inside.
He picked up the Communication Soul Tool in his hand and let out one deafening roar after another.
"Where are those death warriors under my father? Have them come to Shrek City immediately! I have something for them to do!"
"Yes, the strongest one, the one with Soul Emperor cultivation. Have him come here!"
"I'll make that little bastard unable to live or die!"
