Chapter 143: A Warning for Bei Bei, Who's Furious

"Absolutely not! Don't even think about it!" Ma Xiaotao's face turned red as she quickly put some distance between herself and Qianran.

This scoundrel… he really had those kinds of thoughts about her!

"But I could introduce you to some senior sisters from the inner court. We have plenty of beautiful, single senior sisters, and they're all looking for partners. At our Sea God's Fate Festival, many of the single girls in the inner court look for relationships," Ma Xiaotao thought, figuring that as long as it helped her strength, introducing a few junior or senior sisters to Qianran wouldn't hurt. After all, they were single, and if anyone could handle them, Qianran could.

Qianran's ability to charm girls was top-tier. Who knew? He might just make them swoon.

In Shrek Academy's inner court, half of the disciples were single due to their rigorous training schedules. The Sea God's Fate Festival was meant to help them find partners since most of them were so focused on training that they reached dating age still single. It was the inner court's "singles day."

"Do I need your help? Once we get to the Treasure Appreciation Event, I'll find them myself," Qianran replied nonchalantly.

"So that's your plan!" Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened.

No wonder he was so eager about the inner court's Treasure Appreciation Event—he was after the girls.

This scoundrel already had plenty of girls around him, yet he still had eyes for more. How shameless!

Ma Xiaotao had never seen a man so unfaithful in all her years. Could Qianran be planning to sweep up every beautiful girl in Shrek Academy?

"Let's head to the event first."

As one of the most bustling cities in central Douluo, Shrek City was packed with crowds in the evening.

The event was hosted by a powerful group called the Treasure Pavilion, which seemed to have a partnership with Shrek Academy.

The Treasure Pavilion itself was a grand, four-story building about twenty meters tall, a massive structure glittering with gold accents, resembling a giant treasure chest.

At the entrance, four young women stood on each side, dressed in long gowns, clearly there to greet guests. They appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen, with sweet faces and slim figures. While their lower bodies were hidden by skirts, their shoulders were bare, with tight-fitting bodices highlighting their curves. Against the golden glow of the building, their fair skin made them even more striking.

Qianran, having seen plenty of beauties, wasn't impressed and barely glanced at them.

Compared to the girls back home, they couldn't hold a candle. His sisters back home dressed far more attractively.

"Huh. I'm surprised, you actually didn't stare," Ma Xiaotao remarked, surprised by his indifference.

"The girls back home dress better than this," Qianran whispered in her ear.

"If you're willing to wear something like that for me, I'll let you use that Phoenix Divine Fire," he tempted her. Dressed in her signature red, Ma Xiaotao was stunning, and her light pink eyes had an alluring quality. Her love for red was as strong as Xiao Wu's love for pink or Zhu Zhuqing's for black.

Red suited her well. Her red hair, pink eyes, and fiery outfit made her stand out.

She wasn't wearing stockings, a skirt, or anything tight-fitting, yet she still looked incredibly tempting.

"Really?" Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow. If that was the deal, it wasn't out of the question. After all, it was just a look; Qianran wouldn't dare do anything else.

"Of course."

"Deal!" Ma Xiaotao huffed, satisfied with his response. The Phoenix Divine Fire was worth it, even if she had to indulge his gaze. After all, it was just looking; Ma Xiaotao wasn't afraid of being admired.

…

"Qianran, what are you doing here?" Bei Bei's face darkened upon spotting Qianran in front of the Treasure Pavilion.

Wasn't he with Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan? And now he seemed to be with Ma Xiaotao too? What was going on?

Bei Bei felt a surge of jealousy and anger.

Despite Qianran's unfaithfulness, Tang Ya still loved him deeply. How could that not enrage him? He was especially envious because Ma Xiaotao was second only to Zhang Lexuan in the inner court's popularity!

Ma Xiaotao was the inner court's goddess, admired by countless disciples. How did she end up with Qianran?

This jerk!

Seeing Qianran so carefree and happy was more painful for Bei Bei than anything else.

"Young Master Bei Bei, if you're here, why can't I be?" Qianran replied, taking Ma Xiaotao's hand for added effect, just to annoy him.

Ma Xiaotao was about to pull her hand away, but seeing Qianran's signal, she quickly understood.

"So, he has a grudge against Bei Bei? Oh, this must be about Junior Sister Ya," Ma Xiaotao realized, and let Qianran hold her hand.

"How could you do this to Tang Ya?" Bei Bei's face twisted in anger.

Jiang Nannan was Tang Ya's best friend, so Qianran went after her. Ma Xiaotao was Tang Ya's senior sister, so he pursued her too!

Was he deliberately humiliating Tang Ya?

"Clown. Some people are different from others. My girl Tang Ya is understanding and supportive of all my choices. Unlike some people who pretend to be refined, yet nobody wants them. Without Mu En, who would you be?"

"Not only Tang Ya, but I'll take Zhang Lexuan from you too. I assume you wouldn't be upset if I won her over, would you?" Qianran leaned close to Bei Bei, flashing a sly smile.

Bei Bei, a pure clown.

Tang Ya was just the start. Anyone who opposed him would meet a grim fate.

Even if he told Bei Bei his intentions outright, what could Bei Bei do? He enjoyed watching Bei Bei suffer, knowing exactly what he was about to lose with no way to stop it.

"You bastard, I'll fight you!" Bei Bei was furious, feeling like he might explode. Not only had Qianran taken Tang Ya, but he wasn't planning to spare his senior sister either?

This animal! And Qianran openly taunted him about it — was he deliberately provoking him?

"Don't get too excited. If you start something here, you won't be allowed into the Treasure Appreciation Event. Besides, if you make the first move, I'll just beat you down again," Qianran advised with a friendly smile.

"You…!"

Bei Bei's anger almost made him lose his breath.

As a man, he felt a deep sense of humiliation!

Could it be that Qianran intended to steal Zhang Lexuan right under his nose?

He couldn't let that happen. Zhang Lexuan was his; even if he were to give her up, it wouldn't be to Qianran.

Bei Bei's face contorted with fury, his eyes filled with madness.
