(Beautiful picture of Xiao Wu)
Tang San hurriedly said, "Xiao Wu, yesterday..."
He wanted to explain what had happened yesterday so Xiao Wu wouldn't get the wrong idea.
Xiao Wu said, "Huh? Yesterday..."
The only thing in Xiao Wu's mind was the moment she and Xiao Jue had made contact yesterday. Just thinking about it made her blush and her heart race.
Xiao Wu hurriedly shook her head. "It's fine, it's fine!!!"
Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. You must be hungry. Let's go find something to eat."
Xiao Wu said, "Huh? Oh, okay..."
The two had only just arrived and knew nothing about Shrek Academy. With no other choice, they could only look for rising cooking smoke and try to find somewhere with food.
They were just about to look for a farmhouse where they could buy food when they saw a man and a woman arguing about something not far ahead.
The man had short hair, small eyes, and plump flesh bulging on his face. Above his lips were two tufts of mustache that looked for all the world like a rat's whiskers.
It was clearly Ma Hongjun.
And Cuihua.
Tang San really couldn't hold out much longer. Clutching his stomach, he walked over and asked weakly, "Excuse me..."
Ma Hongjun was growing impatient with his argument with Cuihua. He shot Tang San a sidelong glance, his face full of disdain. "Where did this ugly freak come from? Get lost."
Tang San said, "??? I suggest you watch your mouth!"
Ma Hongjun snorted disdainfully, his rat whiskers twitching. "Who the hell do you think you are, sticking your nose in my business? Looking for trouble, huh?"
Tang San's face darkened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Whose daddy are you calling yourself?"
Ma Hongjun's rat whiskers twitched as he said arrogantly, "I'm the daddy of whoever sticks their nose where it doesn't belong."
Tang San was furious.
He moved.
Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he flashed forward and kicked at Ma Hongjun's chest.
Seeing Tang San's kick coming, Ma Hongjun rushed to meet him without hesitation,
raising both fists in front of him to block the kick. A faint purple light shone around him, clearly a fluctuation of Soul Power.
Tang San's kick suddenly stopped in midair. Changing the kick into a stomp, he aimed for Ma Hongjun's lower abdomen.
The fatty reacted quickly too, swinging both raised fists down at Tang San's foot.
With a muffled bang, Tang San pulled his foot back and retreated. The kick also sent the fatty stumbling back several steps.
Just then, a system panel lit up in front of Ma Hongjun with a ding!
[Ding, the host is in battle. The Ah Fu System will help you use moves at random to defeat your enemy and claim victory!] [Use moves enough times to meet the requirement and receive a Talisman as a reward!]
Ma Hongjun grinned lecherously. It seemed his opponent was a Soul Master too, making this the perfect chance to test the power of his Ah Fu System!
The next second, Ma Hongjun uncontrollably shouted the name of the move: "Crow Takes Flight!"
Ma Hongjun's body automatically performed the move as well!
He spread his arms, sprang up on his short, chubby legs, then tucked them back in,
and flew toward the top of Tang San's head like a cannonball!
Tang San had never seen this move before. At the sight of this "flying fat hen," he stared in a daze.
Ma Hongjun landed on Tang San's head with a splat!
His fat body sat firmly astride Tang San's head.
Tang San's eyes instantly turned bloodred, and he panted like an ox.
For a moment, the scene was utterly comical, looking just like a fat hen flying onto a blade of Blue Silver Grass.
Xiao Wu stood to one side, dumbstruck.
Cuihua covered her mouth too, shock written all over her face.
Tang San already had many wounds from being pricked by the durian. With so much pressure suddenly bearing down on them, every one of those wounds tore open in an instant!
Tang San's already bloodstained pants turned red in an instant.
Fresh blood gushed out!
Tang San shouted, "Ah!!!! Fuck!!!"
Xiao Wu thought, Damn, Tang San really did use that fruit covered in spikes yesterday... Honestly...
Unable to bear Ma Hongjun's weight, Tang San wrenched his back and fell to the ground.
Ma Hongjun landed butt-first on his head, pressing Tang San's entire face into the dirt.
Ma Hongjun scratched his head and thought, Ah Fu System, that move of yours is pretty powerful. One sit from my butt and blood came spurting out of him.
Beneath Ma Hongjun's butt, Tang San forced his face out of the dirt and spat out a mouthful of soil. His eyes were fierce. "You already have a way to die!"
Xiao Wu inwardly ranted, What a turnoff. Tang San, you've been such a turnoff these past two days! I really don't know if your true nature has come out!
Just then, Cuihua hurried forward and spread her arms. "Stop fighting, you two!"
At that moment, a voice came from the distance.
"Tang San, fatty, what are you doing?"
Tang San and Ma Hongjun both looked in the direction of the voice and saw Dai Mubai walking toward them,
his hands in his pockets and an easygoing look on his face.
Dai Mubai came closer, looked at Tang San lying on the ground, then at Ma Hongjun sitting astride his head, and shook his head helplessly.
He stepped forward and pulled Ma Hongjun off Tang San's head, then explained the whole story behind Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire to Tang San and Xiao Wu.
After listening to Dai Mubai's explanation, Tang San said in astonishment, "It really lives up to the name Monster Academy. It even has a mutated Martial Soul like that."
Xiao Wu's face reddened slightly, and she spat softly. "There really are all kinds of people."
She looked at Tang San again. Was he really only surprised by Ma Hongjun's unusual Martial Soul, without feeling any contempt for his behavior?
It seemed she really had misjudged Tang San before!
Ma Hongjun glared at Dai Mubai, his face full of defiance:
"If I had a whore's face like you and Little Oscar, and could date several girlfriends at once, would things have come to this?
You don't need to sell yourself short. Don't think I don't know about you going on three dates in one day with different girls."
Light flickered repeatedly in Dai Mubai's evil eyes. He glanced behind him, looking somewhat hurried, and lowered his voice:
"Fatty, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Keep your voice down."
Ma Hongjun chuckled, wearing an expression that begged for a beating:
"Haven't you always taken pride in it instead of feeling ashamed? What's wrong with you today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Dai Mubai glared at him:
"Cut the crap. Some things can't be said carelessly. Keep ruining my reputation, and don't blame me for getting rough with you."
Tang San couldn't help asking, "Ma Hongjun, now that you don't have a girlfriend, what will you do? Stop cultivating?"
Ma Hongjun shrugged, looking unconcerned. "What else can I do? Staying alive is what matters most. I'll ask the dean later and see if he has any ideas."
Tang San spoke again, his voice weak. "Where do we eat at the academy? I'm starving to death."
Dai Mubai said, "Follow me."
The four returned to the grounds of Shrek Academy, and Dai Mubai led them to the academy dining hall.
The so-called dining hall was actually just an arrangement between the academy and the village, with several villagers hired to prepare everyone's meals.
Breakfast was simple: steamed buns, rice porridge, and some pickled vegetables.
By the time they arrived at the dining hall, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were already there.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both seemed to have a slight blush on their faces...
