Dai Mubai's words had just faded.
Ning Rongrong set down her food, her eyes crinkling in a smile, looking cheerful and innocent.
Her voice was crisp, like the sound of a clear spring in the mountains.
"You can just call me Rongrong. That's what my family and friends call me."
Her smile never left her face, clearly indicating a desire to be friendly. Two dimples appeared as she smiled, making her look exceptionally charming.
A simple sentence, but it invisibly drew her closer to everyone. Anyone who didn't know better would really think she was a good girl.
Ma Hongjun listened to this soft voice, his expression a little strange. Didn't she seem to be shouting "good hit" and wanting Ye Qiu to beat him to death when he was just getting beaten up?
Sensing the teasing look in Ye Qiu's eyes.
Ning Rongrong dropped the act, glaring at him fiercely and snorting coldly.
"Ye Qiu~"
Xiao Wu pouted, placing the food Ye Qiu liked on his plate, and gently kicking Ye Qiu under the table with one foot.
"Just call me by my name."
Ye Qiu said lightly, picking out the vegetables from his plate and putting them in Xiao Wu's bowl.
Ning Rongrong said unhappily:
"You're just a liar!"
Tang San chuckled twice, turning to Dai Mubai.
"Senior Dai, then I'll call you Big Brother Dai from now on."
It was rare to have someone acknowledge him.
Dai Mubai wouldn't let this opportunity pass. A smile immediately spread across his face as he patted Tang San on the shoulder.
"Alright, then how about I call you Xiao San?"
"No problem."
Tang San smiled, indicating he had no objections.
Although he hadn't interacted much with Shrek Academy, he already felt a sense of belonging.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun. These three students each had their own unique traits, and Tang San didn't find any of them particularly annoying.
One was a golden-haired, lascivious Evil-Eyed Tiger, another had a soul spell that was, well, let's just say it made his hair grow like crazy, and the third was constantly battling the flames of his own evil fire. These almost monstrous characteristics gave Tang San a sense that he'd found some kindred spirits.
After all, he possessed the memories of his past life, making him, in a way, a true monster himself! An old monster at that.
"I'm full."
It was Zhu Zhuqing's turn.
She left those words and turned to leave.
Ma Hongjun, currently venting his frustrations with his breakfast, looked at Zhu Zhuqing's back in surprise and then turned to Dai Mubai.
"Dai-laoda, aren't you supposed to be a heartthrob for the ladies? How come this new beauty won't even give you a second glance?"
Dai Mubai looked crestfallen and shook his head, saying nothing more.
"Dai-laoda, why don't you tell us about some of the rules of the academy?" Tang San was quite curious about Shrek Academy.
"Alright."
Dai Mubai put aside his thoughts and began to explain the rules of Shrek Academy to Tang San and the other new students.
"We at Shrek Academy don't have many special rules. The most important thing is that we don't allow rape and pillage. We encourage fighting and gambling, but you need to know your limits."
Hearing Dai Mubai's words,
Ye Qiu gave Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun a strange look. Before they came, it seemed that most of the students here liked to frequent brothels.
Tang San continued to ask:
"What about the course schedule?"
Dai Mubai replied, "Our teaching staff is sufficient. The courses aren't rigidly scheduled; they're adjusted based on individual circumstances."
"I see."
Tang San nodded.
He was very satisfied with this approach. This way, they could teach each student according to their aptitude. It was worthy of the school his teacher highly recommended!
Clang, clang, clang!
Outside, a heavy bell rang.
"That's the signal to gather. Let's go! Follow me."
Hearing the bell, Dai Mubai immediately stood up and led everyone towards the large training ground.
By the time Ye Qiu and the others arrived...
A middle-aged man in his fifties was already standing on the training ground.
His face was rather long, with a protruding chin and a hooked nose, the typical "shoehorn" face. He also wore a pair of stiff, square glasses, and even though his eyes were closed at the moment, he still looked somewhat cunning.
It was the merchant, Flender.
Oscar, who had already shaved off his beard, was standing in the middle of the training ground.
He stuffed a few large sausages into Ma Hongjun's mouth.
His bitchy face was set off by a pair of deep-set, peach-blossom eyes, which occasionally glanced at Ning Rongrong in the team.
Before long, Zhu Zhuqing also hurried over.
Flender didn't care about the wounds on Ma Hongjun's body.
To be a good Soul Master, you had to stir up trouble.
Getting into trouble and getting a beating is normal, no big deal.
Flender looked at Ye Qiu and found no surprise in his eyes. Tang San, who had also met him, had a more complex expression.
Flender's evaluation of Ye Qiu rose again in his mind.
Not arrogant, not impatient, shrewd and steady.
Very good!
But his Flender's advantages were not so easy to take!
A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes beneath his glasses.
Looking at the students standing in front of him, Flender's hoarse voice added a bit of authority.
"I didn't expect that we could recruit five students this year, and even two Soul Ancestors! I am very satisfied with you."
After he finished speaking.
Flender chuckled softly, pacing back and forth as he sized up the five new students, including Ye Qiu. He gave them a simple introduction.
"Oh, I almost forgot. I'm Flender, your headmaster."
"Beast Martial Soul: Cat Hawk, Soul Sage at level seventy-eight!"
"I welcome you all to Shrek Academy!"
Flender was pleased by their surprised expressions. However, his steps faltered when he saw the indifferent looks on Ning Rongrong and Ye Qiu's faces.
"Today's first lesson is to pay tuition!"
"It's not expensive, only one hundred Gold Soul Coins per year! Dai Mubai, you collect their tuition and hand it over to Teacher Li."
"Understood, Headmaster!"
Dai Mubai wore a respectful expression, clearly showing his trust in Flender.
Flender nodded.
A faint murmur reached his ears.
"Hmph! What kind of lesson is this..."
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, her small mouth muttering softly.
A mere hundred Gold Soul Coins was nothing to her; even if the lessons were like this every day, she could afford it.
A glint flashed in Flender's glasses.
"After paying, Ning Rongrong and Oscar, you two stay. The rest of you, leave and get yourselves ready. We have a tough battle tonight."
Hearing Flender's words.
Ye Qiu and the others also took out their Gold Soul Coins and handed them to Dai Mubai.
After Ma Hongjun handed over his money.
He hurried towards the chicken coop outside the academy. He didn't want to be self-sufficient; it was too small, and he was too lazy to search for eggs under the feathers.
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing's back.
His expression was uncertain, but he decided to deliver the money first before looking for her.
Tang San had something to give to Flender.
Ye Qiu didn't want to wait for him and walked towards the dormitory with Xiao Wu.
His eyes, however, were fixed on Zhu Zhuqing.
"Ye Qiu~"
Xiao Wu tugged at Ye Qiu's arm with a touch of displeasure, drawing his attention back to her.
Wishing you all a happy life!
