Chapter 117: I Will Definitely Protect You

"Oh? I couldn't hear you clearly, speak up louder."

Damn it! Why is this little girl like this? How did Shrek educate her? Why didn't they smooth out her temper?

Seeing Ning Rongrong looking at him with a teasing look, Zeng Yi felt bitter and gritted his teeth in his heart. This girl just wanted to retaliate against him for how he treated her back then.

But when under someone's roof, one has no choice but to lower their head. Remember this, I will slowly get back at you in the future!

"Hehe, senior sister!"

"Hey, not bad, hahaha." Seeing Zeng Yi capitulate, Ning Rongrong laughed heartily. She felt satisfied now that she had made this despicable person bow to her.

Observing the interaction between the two, Chen Xin felt that there was something fishy going on. He felt that these two definitely knew each other, and his disciple seemed to have been caught by Rongrong with some blackmail, otherwise, such a submissive disciple was impossible.

Hmm, this may not be a bad thing. It seems that their relationship will be harmonious.

Chen Xin nodded approvingly as he looked at Ning Rongrong and Zeng Yi.

"By the way, Grandpa Chen, let me introduce you to my classmates." Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke to Chen Xin.

"This is Tang San, my third brother. He's the strongest among us!" Ning Rongrong walked over to Tang San and introduced him to Chen Xin.

"Junior Tang San, I greet Sword Douluo." Tang San looked at Chen Xin, appearing neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hmm." Chen Xin nodded, his gaze fixed on Tang San.

Surname Tang?

Chen Xin's gaze sharpened, and he asked casually, "What's your martial soul?"

Seeing Chen Xin ask about his martial soul, Tang San was slightly puzzled.

Why would he ask about my martial soul? Tang San found it strange.

"My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass," Tang San replied, opening his hand and gathering blue soul power, which transformed into a Blue Silver Grass.

"Blue Silver Grass?"

This surprised Chen Xin. He could sense Tang San's current soul power level, but he had never expected his martial soul to be Blue Silver Grass. He had never seen anyone cultivate Blue Silver Grass to such a level before.

"You are quite impressive!" Chen Xin looked carefully at Tang San and praised. Such talent, and being able to cultivate Blue Silver Grass to such a level, he was stronger than his disciple! However, this martial soul is too weak and will limit his growth.

He couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

It seems he's not from that side.

"This is our leader, Dai Mubai. He..." After introducing Tang San, Ning Rongrong continued to introduce Dai Mubai to Chen Xin, followed by Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing, and finally Xiao Wu.

"Grandpa, this is Xiao Wu. She is Tang San's sister, and also my good sister!" Ning Rongrong told Chen Xin. However, she didn't notice the fear in Xiao Wu's eyes.

Tang San had noticed Xiao Wu's condition from the beginning. She was trembling in fear, and her body was shaking slightly. He wasn't sure why, but perhaps it was because of Rongrong's grandfather, Sword Douluo?

Xiao Wu wasn't like this before Sword Douluo came.

"Xiao Wu, are you feeling unwell? Let me take a look." Tang San walked over to Xiao Wu, worried about her, and also vigilant towards Sword Douluo.

Chen Xin looked at the little girl with long scorpion braids and his gaze sharpened for a moment, showing a hint of surprise. His lips curved slightly.

Interesting!

Zeng Yi also noticed that Xiao Wu's emotions were off. She seemed to be afraid of her master, Sword Douluo.

As for why, Zeng Yi knew it well. Having read the original novel, he naturally understood. Xiao Wu was actually a 100,000-year soul beast in disguise. Judging from her current state, she must have been discovered by Sword Douluo.

As a 100,000-year soul beast, she was considered terrifying in the eyes of ordinary soul masters. But in the eyes of top-notch soul masters, she was as precious as a treasure. Having a red 100,000-year soul ring was the dream of all Title Douluo. However, 100,000-year soul beasts were extremely rare and hard to encounter.

Moreover, killing a 100,000-year soul beast would definitely drop soul bones, which, like 100,000-year soul rings, were incredibly precious and coveted by all soul masters.

And now, Xiao Wu, in her present state, might still be able to resist Sword Douluo before she completed her transformation. But now, not to mention Sword Douluo, even Zeng Yi could kill her with a single sword strike.

"Tang San, Xiao Wu is not feeling well. Take her back and let her rest," Zeng Yi's voice suddenly sounded, telling Tang San.

"Alright, everyone, I'll take Xiao Wu back to rest. Sorry about that." Tang San instantly understood Zeng Yi's meaning and gave him a grateful look before informing the others. Then he took Xiao Wu and returned to their dormitory.

Chen Xin couldn't help but look at his disciple Zeng Yi, his gaze carrying a deeper meaning.

Although Zeng Yi's words were directed at Tang San, Chen Xin couldn't help but feel that he was speaking more to him.

Could it be that my disciple has also noticed?

Chen Xin thought, realizing that his disciple's abilities were truly not small.

This sudden situation left the other unaware people confused, with no idea why the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Cough cough, since we have a distinguished guest at the Shrek Academy today, I'll give you all a day off," Grand Master said to the other five students.

"Really! That's great!"

Upon hearing that they didn't have to train, the other three besides Zhu Zhuqing jumped up in excitement. They had gone through a month of grueling training without a single break, so being able to rest for a day was like finding an oasis in the scorching desert. It was a thrilling and exciting feeling.

Ning Rongrong met her family and had a lot to talk about, so she took Chen Xin aside to chat. Dai Mubai came up and embraced Zeng Yi's shoulder in a familiar manner, saying, "Hahaha, my friend, since you're here, let me show you around the Shrek Academy. What do you think?"

"Alright."

In fact, Zeng Yi had been to the Shrek Academy before. There wasn't anything interesting inside yet, just a small village. However, out of kindness, Zeng Yi agreed to Dai Mubai's suggestion.

"Meow."

Xiao Ju called out and jumped off Zeng Yi's shoulder, leaping towards Zhu Zhuqing with its eyes fixated on her.

Zeng Yi didn't say much since they already knew each other, and Xiao Ju quite liked her.

"Zhuqing, can you take care of Xiao Ju for me? Thanks." Zeng Yi smiled and asked her.

Zhuqing?

Hearing this address after a long time, Zhu Zhuqing's eyebrows furrowed as she looked up, staring coldly at Zeng Yi.

Why is he still the same after all this time spent together with classmates? 

Zeng Yi was a little confused. Was this the person she wanted to portray?

Yes, a black-haired, cold and beautiful girl could indeed attract attention. Among these people, she could still stand out with her distinctive personality.

Zeng Yi nodded in understanding, seeming to grasp her intentions.

"By the way, Zeng Yi, do you want to try some sausages?" Oscar approached and asked Zeng Yi, since they had a guest, he wanted to entertain him with their specialty products.

"Hey hey hey, Oscar, aren't you disgusting enough to your own kind? Do you want to harm Zeng Yi as well?" Dai Mubai looked at Oscar's somewhat sly-smiling face with disdain.

"Dai Big Brother, you're going too far. Can't you show me some face in front of others?" Feeling belittled by Dai Mubai's words, Oscar felt wronged.

What's wrong with sausages? Do you look down on sausages? If you have the ability,

Oscar felt indignant.

"Sausages? Sure, give me a few," Zeng Yi said, his interest piqued. It had been a whole day without eating, and now he was feeling a bit hungry.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Sure."

"Great! Let me get them for you." Oscar happily agreed and then recited a spell.

"I have a big sausage!"

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in Oscar's hand, and two sausages appeared out of thin air.

"How about it, Zeng Yi, isn't it disgusting?" Dai Mubai said to Zeng Yi, looking at Oscar with a displeased expression.

He admired the effect of Oscar's soul skill, but the incantation was really too indecent.

"Not disgusting?" Seeing Zeng Yi eat Oscar's sausage without changing his expression, Dai Mubai was dumbfounded, while Oscar wore a touched expression.

Seeing Zeng Yi eat Oscar's sausage without any change in expression, Dai Mubai was surprised. Oscar, on the other hand, looked moved.

"This looks decent. Have some more?" Zeng Yi quickly finished the sausages and asked Oscar for more.

"Sure thing! Zeng Yi, you can have as many as you want." Oscar said, feeling touched. This feeling of not being rejected made him excited.

Finally, someone recognized his martial soul's soul skill. Zeng Yi, you are my kindred spirit!

Seeing Oscar's gaze, which was filled with infatuation and an intense longing, Zeng Yi couldn't help but take a step back, feeling uneasy.

"What are you looking at me like that for? Let me clarify, I'm not into that kind of thing!"

In the Shrek dormitory.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this? Is it because of Sword Douluo?" Looking at Xiao Wu sitting on the bed, lowering her head and trembling, Tang San asked her worriedly.

But Xiao Wu didn't respond, she remained silent, and it made Tang San very anxious.

Then, Tang San's gaze sharpened, and he seemed to make a decision. He held Xiao Wu's smooth face in his hands, lifting her head to meet his eyes.

Seeing the fear in Xiao Wu's eyes, Tang San felt a pang in his heart.

It's all because I'm too weak, if I were stronger and able to protect Xiao Wu, how could she become so afraid?

Tang San began to feel resentful towards himself.

"Xiao Wu, let's run away, shall we? I'll take you somewhere safe," Tang San said to Xiao Wu. If Xiao Wu was truly afraid because of Sword Douluo and since Tang San wasn't a match for Sword Douluo, he could only take Xiao Wu away, to a place where she felt secure. Although it would be disrespectful to their teacher, he had to do it for Xiao Wu's sake.

As long as I can protect her.

This time, Xiao Wu responded to Tang San, shaking her head, not agreeing to his request. She knew that if Sword Douluo wanted to harm her, with a Titled Douluo watching, there was no way they could escape. Tang San's actions would only lead to his death in vain. Hence, she couldn't agree to Tang San's request.

"Brother, what would you do if... if I died?" Xiao Wu's eyes, now devoid of fear, looked affectionately at Tang San, asking.

"No! That won't happen. If that were the case, I would definitely die in front of you first," Tang San said, his eyes filled with determination.

Hearing Tang San's words, tears welled up silently in Xiao Wu's eyes.

"Brother..."

Unable to hold back any longer, Xiao Wu threw herself into Tang San's arms, bursting into tears.

Watching Xiao Wu in his arms, Tang San gently wrapped one arm around her slender waist, while his other hand gently patted her back, comforting her.

"Don't worry, sis. Brother will protect you, definitely."
