Your Fiancée Doesn't Seem to Want You Anymore~

"Boss Dai, that's the guy who beat you up and stole your fiancée?"

"Seriously? That guy actually beat you?!"

Beside a crude wooden table, a fat man dressed in fiery red clothes and as plump as a turkey wore a look of astonishment. He narrowed his eyes at Dai Mubai beside him and muttered.

This man was none other than Ma Hongjun, one of the Seven-spotted Ladybugs!

Early that morning, Ma Hongjun had just relieved himself in a back alley. After a night of pleasure, the fat man felt thoroughly refreshed and full of pep.

Although Ma Hongjun had a girlfriend now, he still thought it was pretty nice to have a change of flavor now and then.

But just as he stepped outside, he spotted an old acquaintance beside a trash can. On closer inspection, wasn't that his Boss Dai, Dai Mubai?!

Dai Mubai's eyes had rolled back, his plump tongue was hanging out, and drool dribbled from the corner of his mouth. The sight made Ma Hongjun sick.

Ma Hongjun: "?"

"Wait, who trained my Boss Dai into this state?"

Then he instinctively slapped him across the face. That was what woke Dai Mubai up, though the handprint on his face was still bright red.

"That's right, it was that bastard!"

"I can't believe that brat even hit me in the face. It's been a whole night, and the redness and swelling still haven't gone down." Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, touched his cheek, and spoke viciously.

At that, Ma Hongjun pretended not to hear. He also seemed to be struggling to keep a straight face, forcing himself not to laugh.

"Fatty, Mubai, what's going on with you two? Where did you go fooling around last night?"

"Today's a crucial time for recruiting students, especially with a few Little Monsters coming. You're their seniors; you can't drop the ball at a critical moment!"

"You'll make my Shrek Academy lose face!"

With that, Flender puffed out his chest and raised his head, stroking his curly beard as he put on an air of great dignity and seriousness.

"Face? Teacher, you should think about renovating the academy first. Termites have almost eaten the signboard away!" Ma Hongjun complained, speechless.

With a smack, Flender rapped him hard on the head. Ma Hongjun clutched his head in pain, making him and Dai Mubai a pair of fellow sufferers.

Before long, Tianyu and his three companions drew near. When a certain someone felt that familiar gaze, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

He slipped an arm around her slender waist, and Little Kitty, out in full view of everyone, shyly rested her head on Tianyu's shoulder, feeling sweet as could be inside.

"Damn, Boss Dai, he's provoking you!" Ma Hongjun cried out, his eyes glued to those big melons even as he spoke.

"This is too much!" Dai Mubai clenched his fists and sneered inwardly. He dares to act this arrogantly on my turf?

After all, Dean Flender, standing beside him, was a dignified Soul Saint. Although Dai Mubai was only a down-and-out prince, he had someone backing him now!

Just as Dai Mubai was about to turn and explain what had happened to Flender, embellishing the story so he would stand up for him, something utterly unexpected happened.

"Dean, that's him. He's the one who hit me yesterday..."

Before he could finish, Flender had already stepped forward, chest puffed out. With a spring in his step, he practically jogged over to Tianyu.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai was overjoyed. He thought the dean was going to take action without him needing to say another word.

But when he looked more closely, he saw that Flender was actually holding a large money pouch. Beaming, he ran up to Tianyu and spoke with the familiarity of an old friend.

"Haha, Little Monster, we meet again!"

"Here, this is 2,000 Gold Soul Coins. I, Flender, always keep my word and never covet money. As long as you came to find me, I was sure to give it to you!" Flender laughed heartily.

And that laughter truly came from the heart. Tianyu's scarlet lion hide could originally have sold for no more than 2,000 Gold Soul Coins.

But Flender happened to have a few acquaintances in the black market, and on top of that, with his Soul Power Level as a Soul Saint, who would dare not give him face?

After all that maneuvering, the lion hide sold for 2,500 Gold Soul Coins. Flender had made a killing of 500 Gold Soul Coins, and he had nearly laughed his face into a cramp the night before.

"Well? Interested in joining my Shrek Academy? With you here, your tuition will be half off!" Flender finally revealed the dagger hidden in the map, composing his smile as he spoke.

His actions left Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai dumbfounded behind him. The two stared at each other wide-eyed and drew a sharp breath.

Just as Tianyu was about to say something, Dai Mubai charged over with Ma Hongjun. Covering his face, he pointed at Tianyu and spoke viciously.

"Dean, he was the one who hit me yesterday. How can you recruit him into our Shrek Academy?"

"Exactly!" As Dai Mubai's lackey, Ma Hongjun echoed him from start to finish.

"What, are you the dean, or am I?" Flender glanced at the two of them and spoke, somewhat speechless.

The academy's financial crisis was growing more severe by the day. Recruiting a few more talented students would certainly be a good thing.

Besides, handing over those 2,000 Gold Soul Coins just now had pained him terribly. If he could get a certain someone to stay, perhaps he could borrow some money from him in the future...

Flender's little abacus was clacking away, and just as Dai Mubai wanted to say something more, Zhu Zhuqing, who stood beside Tianyu, spoke up.

"Mas... If Tianyu doesn't go, then I'm not going either!" Zhu Zhuqing said with a serious expression.

Dai Mubai's face instantly turned pale, as though he had suffered countless critical hits to the heart.

"Boss Dai, your fiancée... doesn't seem to want you anymore!" Ma Hongjun kept twisting the knife, every stab striking straight at his heart.

"No, no, I won't accept it!" In the next moment, Dai Mubai seemed unable to accept the destruction of his hope for revenge. He turned and ran straight into the academy.

Seeing his big brother run off, Ma Hongjun hurried after him. All along the way, one ran and the other gave chase.

The onlookers around them didn't know exactly what was going on, but they still couldn't hold back their laughter. A cheerful atmosphere filled the area.

[Congratulations, Master, your Fortune Points have increased by 78!]

"Finally, I'm almost at 1,000 Fortune Points. Before long, I can make another Soul Contract, the purest and noblest kind!"

Tianyu's heart leaped with joy, and his eyes lit up. Coming to Shrek Academy early on had indeed been the right choice. His Fortune Points really were rising with a steady patter.

At the same time, Tianyu vaguely seemed to have found a way to make his Fortune Points rise rapidly.

It was just that all the poor victims would be in for a miserable time~

Flender was somewhat dumbfounded by what he had seen. He had originally wanted to say something, but in the blink of an eye, the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges on Tang San caught his attention.

"Huh? Who gave you that Soul Tool?"
