Dai Mubai's evil eyes flashed repeatedly, then he said righteously, "Fatty, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want. Keep your voice down."

Ma Hongjun chuckled. "Weren't you always shamelessly proud of it? What's wrong with you today? Take the wrong medicine?"

Dai Mubai shot him a glare. "Cut the nonsense. Some things can't be said carelessly. Keep ruining my reputation, and don't blame me for getting rough with you."

"What's the point of trying to cover it up?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke from behind them. With a cold snort, she turned and left.

Yang Tian was not surprised by this. He had not deliberately caused it, but he was happy to see it happen.

Whether Dai Mubai would be an enemy or a friend depended on his own attitude.

The others were confused, unable to understand why Zhu Zhuqing had suddenly become angry. Yang Tian did not explain it to them. After hesitating briefly, he went after Zhu Zhuqing. Call it lust at first sight or say he wanted her body—he did not want to watch such a wonderful girl throw herself into someone else's arms.

In the quiet grove, Zhu Zhuqing sat with her back against a tree trunk, hugging her knees. Her cold expression was somewhat lost, and her eyes gradually dimmed. Only when Yang Tian's footsteps approached did she suddenly look up. Seeing that Yang Tian had already sat down beside her, she was surprised, but soon shook her head.

"You have a story, and I have wine. Mind telling me about it?" Yang Tian asked softly. At the same time, a bottle of fruit wine and two glass cups suddenly appeared in his hands.

The fruit wine and glasses had naturally all been stolen by Yang Tian over the past six years. This fruit wine in particular was spirit fruit wine from a cultivation world, capable of nourishing Soul Power.

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing. Yang Tian opened the bottle himself, and a refreshing fragrance immediately spread through the air. Just one breath of it made one's Soul Power circulate more smoothly.

After pouring two cups, Yang Tian handed one to Zhu Zhuqing. "This stuff tastes pretty good, and there isn't much of it. Miss this chance, and there won't be another."

At that, Zhu Zhuqing gently accepted it. The cup was not large, holding perhaps two or three taels of fruit wine. She took a small sip, and her expression immediately became vivid. "This, this wine..."

Yang Tian frowned, thinking something might be wrong with it. He immediately took a sip himself, then asked in confusion, "There's nothing wrong with it. What is it?"

Zhu Zhuqing's face reddened slightly, and the look she gave Yang Tian grew more complicated. "It can increase Soul Power."

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing say that, Yang Tian was relieved. He had thought there was a problem with the wine. It did indeed increase Soul Power, but for a huge spender like him, it was barely worth mentioning—practically nothing.

Yang Tian did not dwell on the wine's effects. Instead, he smiled and asked, "How does it taste?"

Zhu Zhuqing held the cup in both hands. She could not believe that Yang Tian had brought out such a cup of wine merely to comfort her. She had only taken a small sip, yet she could already feel her Soul Power rise slightly. She believed that one cup would be enough to raise her Soul Power by half a rank. Such wine had to be extremely precious.

"It tastes very good, it's just..."

"As long as it tastes good." Yang Tian cut in, then asked, "Your reaction today wasn't right. Can you tell me about it?"

At his words, Zhu Zhuqing's expression dimmed again. Even the slender hands holding her cup trembled slightly. "He is my fiancé."

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing inexplicably looked toward Yang Tian. Only when she saw that he showed no particular reaction did she let out a breath of relief. Then she became nervous again. She did not understand why she felt that way.

"The Star Luo Royal Family and the Zhu Family are both cold-hearted families. But struggling like this, placing your hopes on someone else, is rather low-grade."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yang Tian in disbelief, only to see that he had taken out two paper cups and was mixing something after tearing open their seals.

Noticing Zhu Zhuqing's surprise, Yang Tian was not surprised at all. He continued, "The White Tiger and your little kitty are a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. It's pretty famous."

Only then did Zhu Zhuqing understand. "On my own, if I want to survive, this is the only way."

"Not necessarily." Yang Tian pursed his lips, then drank half the fruit wine in his cup in one gulp. Only then did he activate his Soul Power and condense a ball of water in the air. Flames rose, the water ball boiled, and he poured it into the two paper cups.

"Instant noodles need a couple of sausages to go with them. And two braised eggs." Yang Tian fussed with it for two minutes before placing a serving of instant noodles before Zhu Zhuqing. "Try it. This is our breakfast."

Regardless of what was happening on Yang Tian's side, Dai Mubai was feeling conflicted. He naturally knew what Yang Tian had gone to do. Should he stop him? On what grounds? Because Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée? If he said that aloud, he would only be even more in the wrong.

Everyone was distracted. When the little fatty heard that he had nearly provoked a monster who had fought Zhao Wuji to a draw, his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes glimmered as she seemingly plotted some mischief. Her personality had already been half exposed after Yang Tian's provocation, while the other half remained hidden.

Before long, a bell rang through the academy. Everyone headed to the student training grounds, while Yang Tian and Zhu Zhuqing in the grove had also finished. They had split a bottle of fruit wine between them. Yang Tian showed no reaction, but Zhu Zhuqing's little face was flushed red. Fruit wine was still wine, after all.

At the training grounds, everyone saw the two approaching side by side and immediately let out an "Ooh~." Only Dai Mubai's expression darkened further when he saw Zhu Zhuqing's complexion.

"Heavenly Brother, tell us the truth. What did you two do?" Xiao Wu was the most animated. She had always advocated bringing Yang Tian and Zhu Zhuqing together.

Yang Tian shrugged. "We talked about life and ideals."

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, but the blush on her face only made people misunderstand more.

Just then, Oscar, chewing on a sausage, leaned over. His peach blossom eyes stared at Yang Tian as he shouted, "Ooh~, Dai Boss, Fatty, I've decided. From now on, Yang Tian will be the bitch-face of our academy. Nobody objects, right?"

Yang Tian felt a little uncomfortable under Oscar's gaze. This guy doesn't have some hidden preference, does he?

Fortunately, Flender arrived in time, rescuing Yang Tian and Zhu Zhuqing from the awkward situation.

Flender was exactly as described in the original work: an old windbreaker, broken glasses, messy hair, heavy stubble, and a lecherous look. No wonder Liu Erlong did not like him.

Flender stepped before the group, his sharp gaze falling on Yang Tian. Zhao Wuji had already told him last night about Yang Tian's monstrous talent and appearance, so he recognized Yang Tian at a glance. After looking at Yang Tian, Flender swept his gaze over the others and said, "Not bad this year. The academy has gained another five little monsters, as well as one freak. I, Flender, the Dean of Shrek Academy, welcome you on behalf of the academy. Later, each of you is to pay one hundred Gold Soul Coins to the finance teacher.

"Mubai will tell you some of the rules. Rest during the day. Classes will begin at night. Oscar and Ning Rongrong are support-type Soul Masters, so their classes differ from yours. Follow me.

"Mm, Yang Tian, you come too."

After assigning their tasks, Flender, who had been about to take Oscar and Ning Rongrong away, paused. A sinister smile curled his lips, and he called Yang Tian along as well.
