Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 127 Turn the world upside down
"Sigh, I've run into those two again." Xiao Hongchen's eyes lit up as he looked at the two people in front of him, his expression shifting.

His mission as the reserve team captain was to focus on the main force of the next Shrek Academy, which is the reserve team of this year. As the registered reserve team captain, Su Wen was naturally his main focus.

"Who's that boy next to you? He's kind of handsome!" Meng Hongchen said with a gossipy expression. "Wait a minute! Something's not right between those two!"

"Is something wrong? Let me go and meet him." Xiao Hongchen casually stepped forward to greet him.

But then Meng Hongchen said softly, "These two... seem to be a couple."

"Couples... um?!" Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened, his throat bobbing. Only after Meng Hongchen's reminder did he see the actions between the two.

He swallowed hard.

The step that had been taken was then retracted.

"Are you sure?" Xiao Hongchen was speechless.

"You'll see for yourself." Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes. "It's just a pity about those two handsome guys. I liked them both."

"Well, cough cough, let's forget about it then." Xiao Hongchen, still shaken, pulled Meng Hongchen away.

He's a straight man made of titanium alloy and steel; just looking at him gives you goosebumps.

"..."

Su Wen didn't notice this.

Feeling awkward with Wang Dong holding her arm, she finally whispered in his ear, "How about... you go change into women's clothes?"

"Well, alright then." Wang Dong seemed reluctant, but in reality, he was quite efficient and arrived at Su Wen's side in no time.

The girl wore a snow-white long dress and white shoes, with only a section of her fair calves exposed to the air. Her light blue hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her exquisite face wore a sweet smile. Her captivating blue eyes, like a lake, gazed quietly at Su Wen, as elegant, pure, and bubbly as a lotus flower. Her hands were clasped behind her back, as if taking this step was still somewhat difficult, especially amidst the astonishment and onlookers.

If she were to be good buddies with Su Wen, putting her arm around him, she wouldn't feel any burden at all. In fact, she would even feel a thrill if others misunderstood.

But after revealing her true appearance, she felt a little uneasy.

"Am I pretty?" This was the first time she had dressed up carefully and appeared in front of Su Wen. Before, she had always been sloppy in the dormitory.

However, in the latter's eyes, this "dressing" was obviously a bit immature compared to older sisters like Tang Ya and Zhang Lexuan, with inappropriate lipstick colors, slightly exaggerated blush, and even a bit heavy eyeshadow.

But just as she was filled with anticipation, Su Wen shook his head.

"Who taught you?"

“Sister Xiaoya…” Wang Dong’er murmured, bowing her head.

Su Wen raised his hand, his expression focused, and gently wiped away the girl's eyebrows, blush, and eyeshadow with his fingers. "Sister Xiaoya and the others need to use these things to embellish and enhance their appearance, but you don't need to. You are already perfect and flawless. No one can find fault with you. You only need to go without makeup to be an absolute beauty."

"Huh?!!" Wang Dong'er looked up, staring at Su Wen in shock.

"Press your lips together," Su Wen said softly.

"Oh~" The girl subconsciously pursed her red lips.

Her pale blue eyes narrowed sharply as she looked at the familiar face so close to hers, but then she suddenly smiled like a flower, tilted her head back, and took the initiative to meet him, her porcelain-like arms wrapping around Su Wen's neck...

The development of the Star Luo Empire's atmosphere.

When young couples kiss in the street, few people will say it's indecent; on the contrary, they'll cheer, especially if it's a handsome couple.

"Brother, look..."

in the crowd.

Meng Hongchen looked surprised and nudged Xiao Hongchen's shoulder.

"What are you looking at? The Star Luo Empire's soul guidance technology is terrible. Many soul guidance devices for sale are even engraved with the Mingde Hall's seal. It's really boring. The only thing they have more food than the Sun Moon Empire is." Xiao Hongchen, with a braised leopard head stuffed in his mouth, slurping it up, complained as he looked in the direction his sister was pointing.

"Su Wen?!"

Xiao Hongchen nearly spat out the food in his mouth.

He covered his mouth, swallowed in two gulps, and then asked in astonishment, "Who is that girl?! Wasn't he shopping with Wang Dong just now? How did he fall for someone else?"

"You idiot, that girl is Wang Dong!" Meng Hongchen said irritably.

"That's Wang Dong?!" Xiao Hongchen swallowed hard, his eyes lighting up. "Holy crap, he really does look a bit like him."

"I never expected that, in order to cater to worldly expectations, they would actually... have Wang Dong dress up as a woman." Meng Hongchen said with a regretful expression. She could only say that Wang Dong was naturally suited to women's clothing, and even if he dressed up as a woman, it would be completely appropriate and not at all out of place.

It's even more beautiful now...

"Hiss, such a pretty girl, but the thought that she's a boy is just awful," Xiao Hongchen said, grinning.

"This is love." Meng Hongchen, watching the drama unfold, held his head and looked on with longing.

The girl's appearance attracted a lot of attention, even covetousness. This is because the quality of her T0-level looks from the original work is gradually being revealed. At most, she is still a bit immature and hasn't fully matured yet.

This is the most bustling commercial area in the capital city.

It also means a mixed bag.

Just one more street and you'll reach the Xingluo Hotel.

Su Wen suddenly stopped, and Wang Dong'er, who was holding his hand, was stunned.

"Kid, you have a pretty keen sense of smell."

In the dimly lit path.

Seven or eight figures in black robes emerged from the darkness and surrounded the two. The leader slowly walked out. A scar ran across his face. He was a thin, middle-aged man with a gloomy expression. He was playing with a small knife in his hand, which danced between his fingers with great agility.

Seeing that Su Wen had successfully waited for the rabbit to come to him, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Is the security in Xingluo Imperial Capital really that bad at night?" Su Wen raised an eyebrow.

The auras of the opponents weren't particularly strong, but they were definitely not weak either.

The Five Souls Sect, with one Soul King.

Although his body was concealed under the black robe, a faint trace of killing intent could still be detected.

Su Wen remained calm.

They had killed people, but they lacked the murderous aura of battlefield soldiers. They were more like a group of thugs who had been recruited and were used by nobles to handle secret and dirty matters.

"Hehe, the imperial guards are mainly concentrated in the area from the Xingluo Hotel to Xingluo Square. There aren't many people in this area," the middle-aged man in the lead grinned.

"This chick is nice. Give her to me, and I'll return her to you tomorrow, how about it?"

"Do you know who I am?" Su Wen raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know, but I'm interested in getting to know you," the middle-aged man said with a smile, gesturing for Su Wen to continue.

"Hehe, you've got guts." Su Wen clicked his tongue in amazement.

Clearly, the other party knew he was from Shrek Academy.

Yet they still dared to make a move...

These nobles are incredibly audacious.

"Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Kid, I advise you to be sensible. If you cooperate, I won't make you suffer. I'll take your little girlfriend home and return her the next day so you can continue the competition. If you don't cooperate, hmph..."

He clapped his hands.

The surrounding men in black robes all took a step forward, tightening the encirclement. Was this a frame-up?

Or is it Tianhun, a nobleman of the Sun and Moon Empire, planning to eat and run?
The Holy Spirit Cult can be ruled out first. If it really is them, they would most likely send powerful figures like Crow or Zhang Peng to eliminate them silently. They wouldn't send just a few insignificant people to deliver the KPI; they know their own strength all too well.

Are they Heavenly Souls, Fighting Spirits, or nobles from the Sun and Moon Empire who have come to watch the match?

The possibility is not small.

After all, they can slip away after doing bad things, and Shrek Academy might not be able to catch them. This world is not like other fantasy worlds where souls can be easily searched, or where disciples can be marked with symbols like longevity tablets, making it easy to find out who killed a disciple.

If the other side really did do this, they should handle it discreetly and leave the city before the Shrek Academy experts arrive. The continent is vast, and Shrek Academy might actually be driven to rage and blame Xu Jiawei.

Investigating a case? Shrek Academy's supervisory team can't even recognize Wen Lanshu, let alone investigate a case.

Furthermore, they were sowing discord between Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire...

It seems to benefit the other three countries.

Although the original three continental kingdoms were allied, there were actually quite a few dirty tricks going on behind the scenes. Tianhun and Douling had been encroaching on land and constantly arguing over the ownership of the territory. Xingluo and the other two also disliked each other and would send some geniuses to Shrek Academy for further study every year, just in case Shrek got too close to one of the kingdoms.

If Shrek Academy ran into trouble on the territory of Xingluo.

That relationship would inevitably be fraught with conflict.

but……

He preferred the nobles within Xingluo.

The fact that they dared to openly kidnap me and Wang Dong'er, and even dared to boast that they would deliver them tomorrow, suggests that they probably know some inside information—the strongest person leading this team is only Wang Yan, and the main team had encountered problems and was taken back to Shrek Academy by Xuanzi.

In other words, the Shrek Academy's influence is currently in a vacuum in the Star Luo Imperial Capital.

The reinforcements from Yan Shaozhe and his group will not arrive for at least several days.

However, the security at Xingluo Hotel is indeed quite good, but why do Su Wen and Wang Dong'er keep giving them opportunities?

And those who knew this news were only Dai Hao and the Star Luo Empire.

"The power behind you originates from the Star Luo Empire, right?" Su Wen said calmly.

"Kid, I advise you..."

"The Cheng family?"

Su Wen stared quietly at the middle-aged man and uttered two words.

Although the latter tried his best to hide it, he could not conceal his panic and said in a fierce but weak voice, "Don't force us to kill!"

"No wonder that young master of the Cheng family was so weak in the knees when he saw Dong'er earlier, and he even acted like my grandfather is a titled Douluo, and that marrying me would guarantee you a life of abundance... So it was him." Su Wen suddenly realized.

Earlier at the night market, they encountered a drunk young man who stopped them and kept flirting with Wang Dong'er, even introducing himself as the grandson of Old Master Cheng, but he was quickly pulled away by a group of people around him, so he didn't take it seriously.

But now that I think about it carefully...

Only a handful of people know the inside story of Shrek Academy.

The emperor, the princess, and several attendants.

That's perfect timing.

Right.

Cheng Gang, one of the Star Luo worshippers.

He shook his head helplessly.

The middle-aged man's face grew increasingly grim.

They had no intention of making things difficult for Su Wen, but this Wang Dong'er... had no power or influence behind her and was most likely just an ordinary citizen. If they could forcibly abduct her, force the issue, and then secretly smuggle her out of the city, they could also leave the city to avoid trouble and keep things clean. Shrek Academy might not be able to trace it back to the Cheng family.

He was just a laborer, and the young master insisted on it. What could he do but risk his life?

But the problem is... Su Wen has now exposed this secret.

The head of the family was unaware of this matter, let alone the true powerful figure in the Cheng family.

All previous glimmer of hope vanished, and a gust of cold wind suddenly cleared my head, but it was too late.

After all, he had always thought Su Wen was just a little kid who could be scared and then let go, but he never expected this guy to be so troublesome! With just a few words, he managed to get close to the master.

"You want to kill me now?"

Su Wen smiled.

His expression gradually turned cold.

"In the Star Luo Imperial Capital, to be able to cause such a huge mess, Xu Jiawei is truly a good-for-nothing..."

"But for now, let's turn things upside down. I was cornered in the middle of the night by the grandson of the family he supports, who wanted to steal my wife. Well then, he won't get any sleep either."

Su Wen said softly.

"Woo!"

next moment.

A figure was dragged into the dark alley.

The other five looked on in shock, exchanging bewildered glances. What had just flashed by?!
"save……"

Yet another person was dragged into the shadows in full view of everyone.

The opponent's speed is unimaginable.

"Ah~!!!"

Immediately, a mournful wail came from the depths of the alley, echoing throughout the entire sky.

"Stop playing around, hurricane."

Su Wen said calmly.

“Take care of the rest, leave him alone, and take him to find the way…”

"Roar~" A six-meter-tall white ape figure slowly emerged. Only then did the black-robed group realize with horror that Hurricane's snow-white hair was stained with blood, and in particular, he was holding a severed arm in his hand, which was clearly the same person from before.

"Run!"

The men in black robes panicked and scattered in all directions.

But within seconds, the footsteps and wails all disappeared.

Only the middle-aged man at the head of the group remained, his feet rooted to the spot, his body stiff. He couldn't even muster the courage to look at the horrific scene behind him, and large beads of sweat dripped down his chin.

"Not bad, commendable courage." Su Wen smiled.

Where is the Cheng family located?

"Gulp~" The middle-aged man's throat bobbed, his face turning deathly pale.
