LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 31: Dai Mubai’s Shock, Sword Douluo’s Request
Chapter 31: Dai Mubai's Shock, Sword Douluo's Request
"Oscar is really a genius!"
"Just comforting, huh?"
Ma Hongjun secretly gave Oscar a thumbs-up in his mind.
He should have sympathized with Dai Mubai's plight, but after hearing Oscar's words, he could hardly hold back his laughter.
"So, what do you guys think I should do now?"
Dai Mubai calmed down and asked his companions.
"I think we should just watch and wait," Oscar pondered.
Ma Hongjun thought for a moment and seriously added, "I think we should respond to changes with no changes."
"Isn't that just a roundabout way of saying nothing helpful?" Dai Mubai huffed, annoyed. "So basically, I can't do anything but wait here?"
"Well, Boss, if you think about it, that's not necessarily a bad idea," Ma Hongjun and Oscar agreed.
Dai Mubai just scowled, saying nothing.
After over two hours, the forest finally quieted down.
"A Titled Douluo really lives up to the name. The stamina is just incredible," Ma Hongjun thought enviously.
Oscar glanced at Dai Mubai and noticed his face turning a mix of black and purple, like a liver.
"Dai Boss, is a woman worth all this? With your conditions, finding someone as beautiful as Zhu Zhuqing isn't difficult," he cautiously consoled Dai Mubai.
"What do you know? No matter how beautiful other women are, they can't compare to Zhu Zhuqing."
Dai Mubai's voice was almost squeezed out through clenched teeth.
Even Oscar and Ma Hongjun didn't realize that Dai Mubai's palms were pierced by his own fingernails.
Those women were just that - other women. But Zhu Zhuqing was his betrothed!
In name, she was Dai Mubai's woman!
"Boss, stop talking, they seem to be coming out," Ma Hongjun suddenly pointed in a direction.
Dai Mubai and Oscar looked over and saw two figures emerging.
"Qin Xiao!"
"Zhu Zhuqing!"
Dai Mubai's pupils shrank as he recognized their identities in an instant.
Oscar quickly pulled Dai Mubai's arm, signaling him to stay calm and not do anything rash.
Soon, Qin Xiao and Zhu Zhuqing approached them.
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
Oscar and Ma Hongjun promptly greeted him.
Regardless of their thoughts, they maintained respect in front of a Titled Douluo.
Dai Mubai's gaze quickly shifted from Qin Xiao to Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing looked disheveled and somewhat damp, with her clothes sticking to her body, accentuating her figure.
Boom!
Dai Mubai felt like he was struck by lightning, his mind going blank.
His body swayed, and if not for Oscar's quick support, he might have collapsed to the ground.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Xiao asked, frowning.
"We... we're picking mushrooms," Ma Hongjun quickly replied.
"Yes, we planned to add some mushroom soup to the canteen lunch. Those red-capped, white-stemmed mushrooms taste the best," Oscar quickly added.
Qin Xiao: o(Д)っ!
Red-capped, white-stemmed? Are you sure those are safe to eat?
"Then continue, I hope to see your so-called mushroom soup at noon," Qin Xiao said meaningfully.
"Ah!"
"This"
"Okay!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar nodded after a moment of hesitation.
"Zhuqing, let's go. Go rest well, we have to continue tomorrow."
Chapter 31: Dai Mubai Spits Blood, Sword Douluo's Request
Qin Xiao spoke to Zhu Zhuqing behind him, and she nodded silently.
Then, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun quietly watched the two leave.
"Wow..."
After Qin Xiao left, Dai Mubai couldn't hold back anymore. Overwhelmed with emotion, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
One time is enough, but they're going to do it again tomorrow?
Do they think people are just playthings?
"Dai Boss, what's wrong with you?" Oscar panicked. Dai Mubai was getting too worked up!
Ma Hongjun, not understanding, said, "Dai Boss, it's not worth it. Since she's already someone else's, why not let go? It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but there are plenty of two-legged women, right?"
"Oscar, Fatty, I'm suffering here!" Dai Mubai couldn't hold back any longer. "You might not know, but Zhu Zhuqing is different from other women. She... she's my fiancée!"
He couldn't restrain himself anymore and revealed the truth to them.
"What!"
"Fiancée!"
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were shocked. They hadn't expected Dai Mubai to drop such a bombshell.
"Now do you still think it's unimportant?" Dai Mubai asked Oscar and Ma Hongjun, "If it were your fiancée, what would you do?"
After a moment of silence, Oscar said, "Fatty, let's just go pick mushrooms. We promised to add a dish to the cafeteria at noon. I'm afraid if we don't bring them back, Qin Xiao might get suspicious."
Ma Hongjun nodded, "Okay!"
Dai Mubai was stunned. "Hey, are you even listening to me?"
"Ah, I wonder where Zhu Zhuqing took His Excellency, what they talked about."
Outside Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong had already snapped out of the excitement of seeing her family. Her thoughts were drifting elsewhere.
She wished she had followed them instead of reuniting with her family.
"Ha ha, Rongrong, look at you fretting. They're back now, aren't they?"
Sword Douluo laughed upon seeing Ning Rongrong's anxious look, then pointed in a direction.
Ning Rongrong quickly looked over.
Indeed, two figures, one following the other, came into her view.
"They're finally back." Ning Rongrong's face lit up with joy.
Sigh.
It seems like my presence as a father is becoming increasingly inconsequential.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly, noticing Ning Rongrong seemed happier to see others than her own father.
What a failure.
"Young friend, could you come here for a moment?"
At that moment, Sword Douluo called out to Qin Xiao with a warm smile.
"You go back first. Same time, same place tomorrow," Qin Xiao said to Zhu Zhuqing behind him.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded and slowly walked towards the academy.
"I am Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Pleased to meet you!"
As Qin Xiao approached, Ning Fengzhi greeted him with a bow.
"Greetings to Sect Master Ning and Elder Sword," Qin Xiao replied.
Respect is a two-way street. Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi had shown enough courtesy, so Qin Xiao wouldn't adopt the attitude he had towards Tang Hao with them.
He was also curious about what Ning Fengzhi wanted to discuss.
"Young friend, Rongrong has told me some of your exploits. I trust you don't mind."
Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile.
Qin Xiao shrugged nonchalantly.
He had no intention of hiding his identity. In this world, power commands respect.
No interest in playing coy.
"These are just minor matters, nothing special."
"But..."
Qin Xiao changed his tone and asked directly, "Sect Master Ning and Elder Sword Douluo, surely you didn't stop me just to chat, did you?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo's expressions changed slightly, obviously not expecting Qin Xiao to be so straightforward.
Sword Douluo laughed heartily, "Ah, young friend, you are indeed forthright, I like that."
"To be honest, I have a rather presumptuous request. I wonder if it's appropriate to ask?"
Without hesitation, Qin Xiao replied, "Since it's a presumptuous request, it's better not to ask."
Ning Fengzhi: !!!∑(Дノ)ノ
Sword Douluo: !!!∑(Дノ)ノ
Isn't he a bit too straightforward?
