"Boss, that old man over there doesn't look like someone to mess with," the old man on the left said, and the two men next to him nodded silently.
"Second brother is right, but... let's wait and see."
At this moment, Xuan Zi spoke up, "Who are the three of you?"
The old man continued to leisurely drink his wine and gnaw on his chicken leg, completely ignoring the three men.
"Three mere Soul Douluo dare to block our path? You're like dead fish stubbornly trying to run into a harpoon!"
This made the three people opposite them more cautious. After all, the old man could see through their true cultivation level at a glance. This old man was definitely not simple. He must be a well-known Titled Douluo- level expert.
The man in the middle stepped forward, his attitude becoming somewhat respectful.
"Senior, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. We were just passing by."
"May I ask your honorable name, senior?"
They look identical and have almost the same voice, making them appear to be triplets.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and get out of the way!"
"Okay, okay, take care, senior."
The three old men respectfully made way for them, but halfway through, Xuan Zi suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked, "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with the three of you?"
Just as they were about to leave, they quickly waved their hands and said, "Senior, you're mistaken. We are from the Sun Moon Empire, absolutely legitimate!"
After speaking, the three of them took out three Level 8 Soul Tool staffs to reveal their identities.
"Hmm." Xuan Zi nodded and then ignored them, leading everyone to fly towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
At this point, the three old men breathed a sigh of relief. They had originally planned to intercept the group of children and ask them to do something for them before letting them go.
But they unexpectedly ran into a tough opponent, which frustrated the three brothers.
With less free labor available, it seems this mission will be significantly more difficult.
"Boss, are we still going to hunt those Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear now?"
The old man in the middle shook his head and said, "Let's forget about it this time. We won't gain much advantage with insufficient manpower."
"But let's go check it out first, scout it out."
"Okay, boss!"
They dared not linger there, fearing the group that had just left would return, so they continued deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest in the opposite direction.
Under Xuan Zi's guidance, the group traveled exceptionally fast for the next stretch of the journey.
Before sunset, they could already see the gates of Shrek City in the distance, and then successfully returned to the Shrek Academy.
"Ah! We're finally back!" All the trainees shouted in relief, followed by bursts of laughter.
They were quite satisfied with their haul this time.
After escorting Wang Qiu'er back to the girls' dormitory, Cao Yu and Wang Dong'er returned to the boys' dormitory building together.
As soon as she entered the door, Wang Dong'er turned around and threw herself into Cao Yu's arms.
"It's better to stay in the dorm."
Wang Dong'er held his waist tightly with both hands, her movements gentle and delicate, like cotton.
Her unique scent is particularly interesting.
At this moment, Cao Yu was also suddenly moved, after all, Wang Dong'er was sitting on his lap very clingily.
" Dong'er, why do you smell so good?"
"No, it's all sweaty smell. I'll have to wash it later."
Having spent the entire day running around in the Star Dou Great Forest, she, being a germaphobe, was naturally a little disgusted and was planning to wait a while before taking a shower.
"Let's go together then."
"Hello!"
Cao Yu answered the call on his gleaming gold mobile phone; the caller ID showed it was Ju Zi.
It was around 8 p. m., and Cao Yu had just finished dinner and was about to start cultivating when he received a call from Ju Zi.
"Junior Brother Little Yu ~ It seems like you haven't come to see me these past few nights. Have you forgotten about me?" Ju Zi said on the other end of the phone, her face flushed.
She felt that Cao Yu was being too biased, and as his girlfriend, she felt it was very necessary to remind him.
Cao Yu chuckled awkwardly, "How could that be? I'll come find you tonight."
"Would Dong'er be willing to part with him?"
"Hey! Ju Zi, are you looking down on me? Looks like I'll have to assert my husbandly authority tonight!"
"Then come over! I'll be waiting for you at Shrek Square. Come with me to buy some clothes."
"Okay, I'll be right down."
Wang Dong'er was still resting at the moment, perhaps because she was extremely tired. Cao Yu hurriedly went downstairs and saw Ju Zi in a tan skirt when he arrived at Shrek Square.
She dressed up especially nicely tonight, and when she saw Cao Yu arrive, she smiled and ran into his arms.
"Let's go, the market might be lively tonight."
Ju Zi had a sweet smile on her face and didn't say much as she led him along the way.
But once they get to the market, everything changes; they become much more lively.
I led her around, and every time we came to a stall, Ju Zi would ask questions.
"Hey Little Yu, do you think this hair tie looks good?"
"This butterfly-shaped sugar coating looks delicious!"
"Buy it! Buy everything you want!" Cao Yu bought everything she mentioned without hesitation, even though it didn't cost much, since these things were all very cheap.
"So, if I've taken a liking to you, would you be willing to sell yourself to me?" Ju Zi couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile, nestled her head on his shoulder, and softly asked as she looked up.
Cao Yu looked at her pretty face, which seemed to blush slightly under the streetlights.
Beneath her playful eyelashes, the ripples in her beautiful eyes could not be hidden.
"Why would I need to sell it? I'll just give it to you."
Ju Zi pouted and said sweetly, "Ew~ I wouldn't even want it if it were given to me for free."
"You're so naughty!" He reached out and pinched her nose, but Ju Zi slapped his hand away, then stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his face with her little mouth.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you anymore. Let's go shopping for clothes first."
Before long they arrived at a shop, which was quite crowded, but all the customers were girls.
On the contrary, Cao Yu, being a man, seemed somewhat out of place.
The girls and women all glanced at him sideways, whispering, "This guy is so handsome, and the girl is so beautiful, they're such a perfect match!"
"They seem quite affectionate; he even accompanied his partner here to buy clothes."
Cao Yu seemed a little reserved after entering, after all, this was a clothing store.
This place... perhaps I shouldn't have come.
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Ju Zi quickly took his hand, preventing him from leaving, and her smile grew even wider.
She leaned close to his face and whispered in his ear, "I'm going to the fitting room to pick out some styles later, could you help me see if they fit?"
The hot breath he exhaled made him even more eager.
Cao Yu suddenly realized what was going on.
You should have said so earlier! I'm quite good at judging clothing styles.
"No problem, you can try on all the styles tonight without any issues."
Ju Zi patted his muscular chest and smiled slightly, "My little boyfriend, have you already revealed your true colors so quickly?"
