Chapter 37 Dai Mubai's Old Habits Return
"Young man, why don't you tell me your age and current level?"
After Li Yusong finished speaking, he waited for Mu Changge to give him an even bigger surprise, while holding his breath to avoid losing his composure.
However, Mu Changge's eyes merely curved slightly, seemingly smiling, but he didn't even glance at Li Yusong.
"I think you've misunderstood. I'm not a Soul Master, just an ordinary person. I don't have the weak power they possess."
Is that so?
The moment Mu Changge said he was an ordinary person, Li Yusong lost interest in him, only then realizing something was wrong.
Not like them... weak power?
Weak?
Ordinary person?
Are you kidding me?
Li Yusong thought of Hu Liena, who possessed the strength of a five-ring Soul King at only eighteen years old, and then looked at Mu Changge's seemingly genuine expression.
Li Yusong was a little unsure, but to be honest, he really didn't sense any Soul Power from the other party.
"Besides, we're not students. We just came here to find a pet and have some fun for a while."
Mu Changge glanced back at the dilapidated gate of Shrek Academy, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
Li Yusong's head was buzzing from Mu Changge's two sentences.
What did she mean by "ordinary people"? She said Soul Masters were weak, and that they came to Shrek Academy to find a pet? Did Shrek keep pets? How come I didn't know?
But one thing Li Yusong figured out was that these three people intended to stay at Shrek for a while. As long as he confirmed that, that was enough!
In any case, he needed to get Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuyun to stay at Shrek Academy first. As for how to recruit them and make them Shrek students, he'd let Dean Flander figure that out.
"Since the three of you wish to visit Shrek Academy, we are naturally very happy to welcome you. Please follow me into the academy."
In fact, Li Yusong only wanted to invite the two exceptionally talented girls to the academy.
However, Li Yusong had lived most of his life, and seeing the intimacy between the three, and that the two girls were subtly siding with Mu Changge,
he couldn't be so foolish as to only let Zhu Zhuyun and Hu Liena stay, while sending away the seemingly "ordinary" Mu Changge, lest he anger the two promising talents and make them unwilling to stay.
In Mu Changge's view, since he had come to Douluo Continent, if he didn't take in a few pretty girls, meet the so-called "pure and innocent Tang Sanshao," and do something to be labeled as someone who was courting death, then this trip would be a complete waste.
"Lead the way."
Mu Changge didn't even raise his head, simply embracing the two girls and gently raising his chin, as if Li Yusong were nothing more than an insignificant lackey in his eyes.
However, the reality was pretty much the same. A Soul Emperor whom she could easily crush, Mu Changge didn't need to be polite to him; after all, this world was a dog-eat-dog world.
"Alright! Follow me, I'll take you into the academy and arrange your accommodations."
Li Yusong didn't care about Mu Changge's attitude. Anyway, once Flander returned, that stingy man would definitely make the most reasonable arrangements.
Whether Mu Changge and the two girls stayed or left wouldn't necessarily be up to them, so there was no need to argue with him here.
Picking up all the scattered gold soul coins, Li Yusong led the way while praising Shrek Academy's advantages.
Things like the academy being far from the noise of town, allowing students to focus on their cultivation, and having three high-level Soul Saints as teachers. He hoped to pique the interest of Zhu Zhuyun and Hu Liena with these ideas, hoping to get them to join the academy early.
However, the effect was less than ideal. The two girls scoffed at what he said, even complaining from time to time about how terrible the environment was and how awful this place was.
The teaching staff was even less appealing to them. One of them was a student at the Star Luo Royal Academy, originally slated to become the empress of a nation; how could her strength be lacking if she became Zhu Zhuyun's teacher?
As for Hu Liena, she was a direct disciple of Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and therefore looked down on these mere Soul Saints from Shrek Academy.
Seeing that his words had no effect whatsoever, Li Yusong stopped wasting his time and quietly led them into Shrek Academy.
...
Dai Mubai was very frustrated because he was almost certain that the girl who called herself "Zhuo Qing" was his fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing.
But she wouldn't even glance at him; even when he stood in her way, he only received a cold look in return.
He had planned to have a proper chat with Zhu Zhuqing during their one-on-one battle in the fourth assessment, but Zhao Wuji, acting on a whim, stole his position as the fourth assessment examiner.
Helpless and fearing for Zhu Zhuqing's safety, he could only keep a close eye on the battlefield, ready to remove her immediately if anything went wrong.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing's attacks against Zhao Wuji were completely ineffective, and even being dislocated and knocked unconscious by his burst of soul power,
Dai Mubai had no time to complain about Zhao Wuji's ruthlessness, because the unconscious Zhu Zhuqing was about to fall heavily to the ground!
He quickly leaped high, reaching out to catch her.
But in that brief moment of mid-air, a clear bell rang in his ears.
The next second, a figure suddenly appeared between him and Zhu Zhuqing. Before Dai Mubai could even see who it was, he was struck in the stomach with great force, flying backward and rolling a considerable distance on the ground.
"Damn it! Which one is it..."
Just as Dai Mubai was about to curse, he saw Hu Liena lying in front of him. Instantly, Dai Mubai swallowed the rest of his greeting. He
also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, because he had never seen a woman of Hu Liena's caliber, let alone slept with her.
Realizing he was still lying on the ground, Dai Mubai quickly got up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and elegantly performed a noble curtsy to Hu Liena.
Dai Mubai's old habit had resurfaced; the moment he saw Hu Liena, he was already planning how to get her into bed.
"I am Dai Mubai, the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire. May I ask what I have done to offend you, young lady, that you would attack me?"
This was his usual tactic: first, reveal his identity to attract the other person, then display a gentlemanly attitude to gradually close the distance.
Once they were somewhat familiar, he would promise to marry her and make her the Empress of the Star Luo Empire. Basically, within three days, Dai Mubai could win over a woman he had just met.
As for Zhu Zhuqing?
Sorry, Dai Mubai, now in control of the bigger picture, had long forgotten about her.
However, this time Dai Mubai's tricks didn't work. Hu Liena merely gave him a disgusted look before turning and walking away.
Just as Dai Mubai was about to chase after her, he saw a figure that sent chills down his spine.
