Chapter 12 The Beginning of the Conflict

Zhu Zhuqing immediately sensed Dai Mubai's unusual behavior. She released him, sat on the bed, and said with a flushed face...

"shameless."

Dai Mubai coughed and then took out the Love-Sickness Broken Intestine and the Narcissus Jade Bone to try to ease the awkward situation.

Zhu Zhuqing temporarily put aside her wild thoughts and looked at the immortal herb in Dai Mubai's hand, unable to resist asking curiously...

"What are these two kinds of magical herbs? What are their effects?"

Dai Mubai began to explain things to Zhu Zhuqing in detail.

"The white, exquisite flowers and plants beside it look as pure and immaculate as a lotus flower. They nourish the tendons and bones and promote the flow of Qi through the seven meridians and eight extraordinary vessels. This white flower, which resembles a peony, is called the 'Heartbreak Red of Longing.' It has not yet been completely plucked. It can alter a Soul Master's various physical abilities and greatly enhance a person's potential. Of course, this flower is no ordinary one. It requires the possession of a beloved person and cannot tolerate the slightest wavering. Even if one vomits blood and dies, one cannot pluck it."

Dai Mubai pointed to the two immortal herbs and earnestly introduced them to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at Dai Mubai, who was pointing at the Acacia Heartbreak Red with a resolute gaze, and said...

"I want to try and see if I can get it off."

"Okay...yes"

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing chose this flower immediately, Dai Mubai hesitated. He still handed the Acacia Heartbreak Red to Zhu Zhuqing, since she hadn't picked it in the original story. He didn't want her to be obsessed with this flower; after all, there was the alternative, Narcissus Jade Bone.

Looking at the flower, Zhu Zhuqing thought of Dai Mubai's bravery in saving her. She felt even more guilty about her initial suspicions of Dai Mubai. Although Dai Mubai dismissed it as a mere coincidence, Zhu Zhuqing didn't believe there could be so many coincidences.

This is the kind of hardworking man who finally surpassed his brother, yet when she first came here, she thought of blaming him because she had believed the rumors spread by others.

With a man like this, what regrets could she possibly have in this life? Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing slapped her lower abdomen without hesitation and spat out a mouthful of blood.

When the Acacia Heartbreak Red came into contact with this blood, it slowly fell from the air onto Zhu Zhuqing's slender hand.

The moment Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes to meet Dai Mubai's gaze, she couldn't help but lower them again, her cheeks flushing red once more.

Dai Mubai was stunned by the sight. This was completely different from the original story! Why? But looking at Zhu Zhuqing spitting blood, he still felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing's blushing face and felt a strange sensation below that made him want to rush up and have a three-hundred-round battle.

However, Dai Mubai suppressed his lustful desires. Now was not the time. Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing and spoke gently.

"Zhu Qing, you should consume this immortal herb. It will definitely give you a terrifying level of improvement."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Acacia Heartbreak Red in her arms with a pang of pity, feeling a little reluctant. Dai Mubai noticed her hesitation and couldn't help but sit down, taking her small hand in his and saying...

"I know you, Zhuqing, are reluctant to part with this flower, but if you want to defeat them with your own hands, then you must consume it. And I can stand alone in front of you without any problem! But if you don't want our descendants to fall into this corrupt fate again, you must have the power to do so, because we are fighting against the entire royal family and the Duke's mansion."

Upon hearing that she might have the chance to defeat her own sister, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated due to her strong-willed nature. When she heard that Dai Mubai was willing to fight them alone, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel tenderness in her heart. Finally, upon hearing that her descendants would continue this cruel fate...

The hesitation in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes completely disappeared. Yes! If she didn't want her descendants to continue to fall into this corrupt fate, she had to fight against the entire royal family and the Duke's mansion. The strong-willed Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling to let Dai Mubai stand in her way alone.

"Alright! Mu Bai, I am willing to consume this flower."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai and spoke to him with a determined expression.

Dai Mubai finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. Zhu Zhuqing might not know what Dai Mubai was about to face, but Dai Mubai knew in his heart that Tang San, Tang Hao, and even the entire Clear Sky Sect behind them, since they had been reborn, would inevitably be confronted one day, and that day was fast approaching.

Thinking about it, Dai Mubai took out a Martial Soul Evolution Stone (female exclusive) and explained.

"My martial soul mutated because of this kind of object, Zhu Qing, you should absorb it as well."

As Dai Mubai explained to Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Martial Soul Evolution Stone. Thinking back to the Martial Soul that Dai Mubai used to save her, which actually made her feel suppressed, she knew how precious this item was. She nodded heavily to Dai Mubai and absorbed both items together.

Dai Mubai arranged for his men to lie in wait here. Looking at the dimly lit sky, he figured Tang San would arrive in a few hours, and he would have to go back.

Shrek Academy gate

Ma Hongjun and Oscar lay on a large tree not far from the door, watching the people register.

Ma Hongjun saw a girl in pink push her and said to Oscar...

"Hey Xiao Ao, see that girl in pink? She's pretty, haha, but she looks a bit young."

Oscar, seeing that he had almost pushed Ma Hongjun down, couldn't help but push him back, and then glanced at him in response.

"It's really good, just like a fat guy, only a little small, hahaha."

The girl in pink, who was in line, suddenly turned her head and saw two boys in the tree pointing at her. She then laughed with her companion, and a surge of anger rose in her heart.

So she tugged at the blue-shirted boy's sleeve, looking aggrieved.

"Third Brother, those two people in the tree are pointing at me."

Tang San turned his head and saw that the two boys were indeed smiling, and he couldn't help but feel a little displeased. He was currently in line to register, and this academy was specifically chosen for him by his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, so he suppressed his displeasure and coaxed the girl in pink:

"Xiao Wu, we're registering now. We can settle accounts with them after we're done, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu felt a surge of inexplicable anger, unsure whether it was directed at Ma Hongjun and his companion in the distance, or at the master.

"Not good enough, next one." The white-haired old man touched the next child's hand and gestured for them to leave.

"Why should I? Give me my registration fee back!"

The child's father also had a short temper, and he slammed his fist on the table and started shouting.

The white-haired old man grew impatient, looking at the child's father and speaking rudely about the rules.

"Haven't you heard the rule that children under 13 with less than level 20 soul power are not allowed to come? Don't think that just because you have a good martial soul, you can reach level 20 or higher before the age of 13."

The child's father, still noticing the large number of people nearby, couldn't help but mutter something.

"You can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bucket. How do you know my child's fighting strength just by touching him?"

The white-haired old man waved his hand towards the tree as if he had heard a joke, leaned back casually, and pointed at Ma Hongjun who was rushing over, saying...

"As long as you can beat him, that's enough."

Ma Hongjun chuckled, releasing his two yellow and one purple spirit rings, and introduced himself to the father of the troublemaking child.

"Young Master Ma Hongjun is only 12 years old this year, does he still want to test his fighting strength?"

Upon seeing the purple spirit ring among the three spirit rings that Ma Hongjun displayed, the troublemaking father grabbed his son and quickly left.

Xiao Wu and Tang San were utterly astonished, never expecting that the person casually pointing at things in the tree was actually a 12-year-old Soul Master.

"This Shrek Academy truly lives up to the teacher's recommendation; there isn't a single mediocre student among them."

Tang San couldn't help but sigh, but Xiao Wu tugged at his sleeve, feigning grievance.

"Then let's just leave Third Brother alone about what he did before."

Tang San patted Xiao Wu's hand to reassure her, and said confidently.

"Don't worry, even if he's a Soul Master, I have ways to deal with him if he doesn't apologize."

As a Great Soul Master, Tang San was confident that he could defeat Ma Hongjun with his hidden weapons.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu smiled and clung to Tang San's arm, acting coquettishly.

"Third Brother is the best."

When I saw that Ma Hongjun was an unconventional fat guy, I felt that being pointed at and talked about by such a person was an insult, and I had to teach him a lesson.

After Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong finished registering, Ma Hongjun saw that all three of them had soul power levels exceeding 25. He was about to call Xiao Ao to take them to the final stage.

Tang San and Xiao Wu watched as Ma Hongjun refused to budge an inch. Tang San clasped his hands and said, "Senior Ma, I hope you can apologize for your casual comments about my sister."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun smiled dismissively and asked...

"What are you talking about?"
