Chapter 69 The Egg Broken!
As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the streets of Soto, where shops lined both sides of the streets and the sounds of vendors calling out their wares rose and fell.
Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier walked side by side, slowly weaving through the crowd.
Turning his head slightly, Tang Chuan saw Xiao Ruier's profile. A sense of familiarity washed over him. If he hadn't already recognized her, he probably would have thought he had returned to Earth.
"Feed." Xiao Ruier suddenly turned her head to look at Tang Chuan, her tone not particularly concerned, but with a hint of curiosity, and said, "Why did you suddenly have to rush to Soto City? Everyone else is still in Silves's place participating in the Team Battle Soul."
"I came here to see an acquaintance," Tang Chuan said calmly with a light laugh.
"An acquaintance?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier frowned slightly, paused in her steps, and her tone immediately became subtle as she pressed, "Who? Male or female?"
She tried to control herself to hide the nervousness in her tone, but the subtle emotions in her words inevitably spilled out.
"Uh..." Slightly taken aback, Tang Chuan glanced at Xiao Ruier out of the corner of his eye, a slight smile playing on his lips, but did not answer directly.
However, just as he was about to explain further...
Suddenly, a loud laugh came from ahead.
"Hey beautiful, why are you walking so fast? Let's be friends!"
A red figure suddenly appeared and blocked their path.
The newcomer was chubby, with a head of red hair tied up in a messy mohawk. His obese body was wrapped in a tight-fitting short brown garment, his belly almost bulging out from under the fabric. A lewd smile played on his lips, and his small eyes were narrowed to slits as he approached Xiao Ruier.
"Young lady, it's not safe for you to go shopping alone at night. Would you like me to come with you? I'm the kind of person who cares about people the most, especially someone as pretty as you..."
Before Ma Hongjun could finish speaking, he felt a cold gaze fall on him. He was startled and looked up to see a young man standing next to Xiao Ruier, dressed in a blue outfit and wearing a bamboo hat that covered his face, making it impossible to see his features.
"Something feels off."
Ma Hongjun shuddered inexplicably, a feeling of unease rising in his heart.
He squinted to get a closer look. Although he couldn't see the expression under the straw hat, he could sense an indescribable sense of danger in those eyes.
"Get out of here!"
Seeing that Ma Hongjun was blocking her way, Xiao Ruier's face darkened and she coldly shouted.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable pressure, like a sudden downpour, causing some bystanders on the street to involuntarily take a few steps back.
Although Ma Hongjun also sensed something was wrong and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart, he quickly suppressed it with the lustful fire in his lower abdomen.
"Hey beautiful, don't be so fierce!"
He snorted, still wearing that greasy smile, thinking to himself that he was, after all, a Soul Master, and with Flander backing him up, what was there to be afraid of?
"Brother, I'm a Soul Master. If you follow me, I guarantee you'll live the high life. My teacher is a Seven-Ring Soul Saint; in the entire Soto City, who dares to mess with you?"
Emboldened by lust, Ma Hongjun not only didn't step aside, but instead reached out again to block Xiao Ruier's path, grinning as he spoke.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ruier's face turned completely grim, a murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and her voice was so cold it seemed it could crack stone walls:
"I'm giving you one last chance—get out of here!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind crippling you so you can never come out and harm people again."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Ma Hongjun's face gradually faded, replaced by displeasure and anger. He said in a deep voice:
"What are you so proud of?"
"Aren't you just one of those kept women by nobles?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his palm and pushed straight at Xiao Ruier's shoulder, the action was rough and carried a sense of humiliation.
However, just as Ma Hongjun's palm was about to touch Xiao Ruier's body...
But suddenly it was gripped by a powerful force.
It was a fair and slender hand, yet as strong as an iron clamp. No matter how hard Ma Hongjun tried, he could not advance even an inch further.
"Oh my, little girl, I didn't expect you to be so strong!" Ma Hongjun was taken aback. He looked down and saw that it was Xiao Ruier's hand. He tried to remain calm.
Looking at the scene before him, Tang Chuan stood still without making a move. A gentle breeze blew by, causing his straw hat to sway slightly, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He recognized the man as soon as he appeared.
One of the Shrek Seven Devils, the Lustful Phoenix – Ma Hongjun.
"Heh, Shrek Academy, they keep saying they're mediocre because they don't dare to cause trouble. In the original story, they attacked the weak Canghui Academy without hesitation, but when they met Dugu Bo later, they all became timid and didn't dare to utter a sound. Isn't that just pure bullying of the weak and fear of the strong?"
"The academy is awful and dilapidated, yet the tuition is a whopping ten gold soul coins. If Tang San relied solely on blacksmithing, it would take him three years to save up the tuition. The most outrageous thing is that the enrollment fee is non-refundable; if they want money back, they send people to intimidate you. Isn't that just like the mafia?"
"Even if you get in, you won't get anything. The students will have to participate in Soul Battles to subsidize the academy. It's outrageous."
"Today, this fatso has messed with the Emperor Beast... You're just unlucky!" Tang Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips as he silently complained to himself.
The next second, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Ruier's eyes, and she twisted her hand sharply.
"Snap—!"
A crisp, piercing cracking sound rang out.
"Aaaaaah—!"
Ma Hongjun's arm snapped at an unnatural angle, and excruciating pain swept over him like a torrent, causing his pupils to shrink, his face to contort instantly, and him to let out a ripping scream.
He never expected that the blonde girl in front of him would have such terrifying strength, unlike the "strong on the outside but weak on the inside" noble lady he had imagined!
"You slut! You're asking for it!"
The intense humiliation and excruciating pain enraged Ma Hongjun. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, attempting to mobilize his soul power and release his martial soul—the Evil Fire Phoenix!
However, he had only just begun to circulate his soul power and had not yet had time to summon the phantom of his martial soul when a sharp fist shadow already tore through the air and arrived.
"Bang!!"
Xiao Ruier's fist slammed into Ma Hongjun's face with such speed that he barely had time to react.
Another dull sound rang out.
Ma Hongjun's teeth fell out, blood splattered everywhere, and he was blasted away, crashing onto the street like a rag doll, his face covered in blood.
Not far away.
Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically as he looked at the scene before him, and anger instantly surged to his brows.
"What?! You dare hit my brother?! You're asking for it!"
With a roar, Dai Mubai's soul power surged, and a white tiger phantom appeared behind him. Instantly, he completed the martial soul possession, his golden hair stood on end, and his tiger claws shot out, charging fiercely towards Xiao Ruier.
However, Xiao Ruier's expression remained unchanged, as if she had expected it. In a flash, she did not choose to meet Dai Mubai, but instead rushed to Ma Hongjun's side.
"I'll cripple you today, so you won't cause trouble for others in the future." With a cold smile, Xiao Ruier's eyes were icy. Without the slightest hesitation, she suddenly raised her leg and kicked out!
"Bang!!"
She kicked Ma Hongjun hard in the abdomen, and a dull thud echoed through the street, as if some internal structure had been shattered.
Ma Hongjun didn't even have time to scream before he fainted. His body was lifted into the air like a broken sack and crashed directly into Dai Mubai, who was rushing towards him.
I'm asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
