The Green Hat

Under Dai Mubai's furious glare that looked as if he could eat someone alive, Xiao Feng flirted with Zhu Zhuqing before swaggering off.

"You're not seriously going to go, are you?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing showing a hint of hesitation, Dai Mubai, feeling as though the grass was about to sprout on his head, hurriedly stopped her. "That guy is definitely not a good person! Don't fall for his tricks!"

"If he's not a good person, then are you?"

Zhu Zhuqing sneered coldly, "Or do you have a better idea to help me defeat that woman?"

"I..."

Faced with Zhu Zhuqing's question, Dai Mubai wanted to argue but couldn't find the words.

If Dai Mubai were confident in defeating Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, he wouldn't have fled to Shrek Academy in a state of despair.

"If you have no other solution, then don't drag me down with you to await death."

After finishing her words, Zhu Zhuqing pushed Dai Mubai aside and chased in the direction Xiao Feng had left.

"Crack... crack... crack…"

Watching Zhu Zhuqing's retreating figure, Dai Mubai's eyes turned blood-red, his fists clenched tight as his nails dug into his palms, blood dripping down.

Dai Mubai really wanted to stop Zhu Zhuqing, but ever since he abandoned her and fled to Soutuo City to barely survive, he had already lost the right to do so.

"Boss Dai, let it go!"

Ma Hongjun walked over, patted Dai Mubai's shoulder, and comforted him, "There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Why get hung up on one flower? Especially when you're this handsome, do you really think you won't find other women?"

"Scram! Don't bother me!"

Dai Mubai, irritated, shook off Ma Hongjun's hand and stormed away angrily.

"Fine, Zhu Zhuqing, if you want to put a green hat on me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"What the hell? So ungrateful!"

After being brushed off, Ma Hongjun spat in annoyance, muttering, "You think you're something just because you have a good father? Wait until I find my real father; let's see if you're still so cocky then!"

Due to Dai Mubai hiding his true identity, Ma Hongjun didn't know he was the prince of the Star Luo Empire and thought he was just a noble.

Provoked by Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun abandoned his plan to hunt for his third spirit ring and rushed back to Ma Family Village overnight, intent on asking his mother who his biological father was.

At first, Ma Hongjun's mother patiently explained that he was indeed the child of her and his father. However, Ma Hongjun refused to believe it, insisting she tell him who his real father was.

Eventually, driven to her limit, Ma Hongjun's mother grabbed a rolling pin and tried to knock some sense into him.

Ma Hongjun's father returned from work just in time to hear his son's cries and rushed in to wrestle the rolling pin from his wife.

"What's going on? Talk it out properly; don't hurt the boy."

"Don't stop me! I must teach this ungrateful child a lesson today!"

Ma Hongjun's mother shouted angrily while swinging the rolling pin, "This brat insists I cheated and keeps asking me who his real father is. Doesn't he deserve a beating?"

"..."

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun's father's face twitched.

Anyone else might have doubted their wife's fidelity after hearing such accusations, but Ma Hongjun's father had no such doubts.

His wife's looks were ordinary, her skin rough, and her waist as thick as a barrel—she had no potential for extramarital affairs. Moreover, Ma Hongjun looked just like him, as if carved from the same mould. Even without a paternity test, anyone could tell they were blood relatives.

"Mom, stop being so stubborn. Just tell me who my real father is. He even sent me some rare herbs! He must care about me."

Taking advantage of the distraction, Ma Hongjun yelled out again, oblivious to the danger.

Ma Hongjun's father sighed helplessly, then silently removed his belt and joined his wife in the beatdown.

"I knew you weren't my real father. My real dad wouldn't beat me like this. Ahhh..."

The more Ma Hongjun talked back, the faster his father's belt swung.

While the Ma family was engaged in this chaotic scene of familial love, Zhu Zhuqing, after hesitating outside the Rose Hotel for over half an hour, finally made up her mind and walked in.

"Knock, knock, knock…"

Led by a hotel staff member, Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the top floor of the hotel and knocked on the door marked "Red Ocean."

The door quickly opened, and Xiao Feng, dressed in a white bathrobe with wet hair, appeared before her.

"Looks like you've thought it through. Come in then!"

Xiao Feng eyed Zhu Zhuqing up and down with satisfaction before opening the door to let her in.

"Bang!"

Under the envious gaze of the hotel staff, Xiao Feng pinned Zhu Zhuqing against the wall as he kicked the door shut.

Just as Xiao Feng was about to taste the lipstick on her lips, Zhu Zhuqing covered his mouth with her hand.

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Xiao Feng with cold, clear eyes, saying, "You have to give me the herb first."

She had finally made up her mind to exchange herself for a rare herb from Xiao Feng, and she had no intention of being taken advantage of without getting anything in return.

"Don't worry! I'm a man of my word. If you don't believe me, I'll let you take the herb first so you can experience its benefits. Then we can play."

After speaking, Xiao Feng took out a Water Narcissus Jade Bone, which he had prepared in advance, from his storage ring and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.

The Water Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone water was a pristine white liquid, as pure as a lotus, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't recognise the herb, she could tell from the powerful spirit energy it emitted that it was extraordinary.

"This flower is called Water Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone liquid. It enhances muscle and bone strength and clears the body's meridians."

As he admired Zhu Zhuqing's subtle fragrance, Xiao Feng slowly explained, "To consume it, first slowly inhale the fragrance and then slowly and gradually consume the liquid . Be sure to remain calm during the process to absorb the medicinal power fully."

"Okay."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded obediently, took the Water Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone, sat down on the carpet by the bed, calmed her nerves, and took a bite of the petal.

As soon as the liquid entered her stomach, it transformed into a powerful medicinal force that erupted within her.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately closed her dark eyes, entirely focused on refining the energy inside her.
