...
Guided by Ning Rongrong, the three of them walked through several dilapidated paths and soon arrived at a row of wooden dormitory buildings.
"Yes, this is it."
Ning Rongrong pointed to one of the tightly closed doors and said:
"I share this room with Xiao Wu. Zhu Zhuqing lives next door.
She seems to prefer quiet, so she lives alone."
Xuan Hao nodded, and gentlemanly stopped a few meters away in the shade of a tree, arms crossed, gesturing for the two girls to come forward:
"I won't go over there, lest I be mistaken for a pervert following a girl. You guys go and say hello first, and ask her to open the door."
Ning Rongrong and Na'er exchanged a glance and went up to knock on the door.
"Hey! Zhu Zhuqing! Open the door!"
Ning Rongrong pounded on the door and shouted, "I know you're in there!
I saw you run in just now!"
"that..."
Na'er also leaned over and called out in a soft, sweet voice, "It's me, Na'er!
Do you remember me?
We've come to see you, so don't hide from us."
However, no matter how much the two knocked, the house remained completely silent, as if no one was home.
But with Xuan Hao's keen senses, even from several meters away, he could clearly hear that the originally steady breathing inside the room had become rapid and disordered.
Inside the room at this moment.
Zhu Zhuqing leaned against the door, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly.
Her usually cool face was filled with tension, and even a hint of fear.
Of course she remembered that voice! And she remembered that silver-haired boy!
Three years ago, on a dark and windy night, she was cultivating in her own yard when this guy suddenly appeared dressed in black and tried to put a sack over her without saying a word!
Although he didn't hurt her after being discovered by the guards in the manor, and even asked her with a smile if she was willing to "go to Tiandou City to develop", it was a childhood trauma for her when she was still young!
Now this guy has actually chased us all the way to Soto?
And he's even going to block the gate?
She'd rather die than open it!
Just when the situation was at a stalemate.
"Tap tap tap..."
A steady yet somewhat unsteady sound of footsteps came from not far away.
A tall young man with long blond hair and a pair of sinister eyes was walking towards them.
Dai Mubai.
He originally intended to talk to Zhu Zhuqing to explain what happened yesterday and try to smooth things over.
But when he got there, he saw several people gathered around Zhu Zhuqing's door.
Especially when his gaze swept over Xuan Hao, who was standing in the shade of a tree, and finally landed on Na'er, who was kneeling at the door and knocking.
Those sinister eyes suddenly lit up, and he even paused for several seconds involuntarily.
What a beautiful girl!
That ethereal, pure yet extremely alluring quality was something he had never seen before, even though he had been with countless women!
But he quickly realized the situation was inappropriate, forcibly suppressing his amazement and greed, and instead adopted the dignified demeanor of a senior student as he strode over.
"Ning Rongrong?"
Dai Mubai frowned, looking at Ning Rongrong who was still banging on the door, his tone unfriendly:
"Why aren't you running around the village? What are you doing here?"
"besides..."
He pointed at Na'er and Xuan Hao not far away, his eyes filled with hostility and arrogance:
Who are these two people?
"The registration period for Shrek Academy ended yesterday.
If you want to register, go to the village entrance and find Teacher Li.
Don't wander around here and disturb your classmates' rest!"
Hearing this annoying voice, Ning Rongrong stopped what she was doing, turned her head, and rolled her eyes dramatically.
"none of your business!"
"Is it wrong for me to bring my friends over for a visit? It's none of your business!"
After saying that, she ignored Dai Mubai and turned around to continue banging on the door:
"Zhu Zhuqing! If you don't open the door, I'm going to smash it up!"
Being ignored in public, especially losing face in front of a stunning beauty like Na'er, Dai Mubai's face instantly darkened.
As the head of Shrek Academy and a prince of the Star Luo Empire, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Ning Rongrong! This is Shrek Academy, not your home!"
Dai Mubai snorted coldly, his soul power surging as he strode forward:
"Since you don't know the rules, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"And you too!"
His gaze shifted to Na'er, who was still knocking on the door, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, while at the same time he wanted to take the opportunity to display his "authority" in front of this beautiful woman:
"Bringing a group of unrelated people into the girls' dormitory area is outrageous!"
"Get out of my way!"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Na'er's shoulder, trying to forcibly pull her away.
However.
Just as his hand was about to touch the hem of Na'er's clothes.
"Whoosh—!!"
A blurry figure, like a ghost, instantly traversed several meters and appeared out of thin air in front of Na'er.
Dai Mubai felt a blur before his eyes, and then a terrifying aura that made his soul tremble rushed towards him.
Before he could even react to what had happened...
"Smack—!!!!"
A sharp, crisp slap, so clear it even created a white shockwave in the air, suddenly resounded throughout the entire dormitory area.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Immediately afterwards.
Under the shocked gazes of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who had just peeked through a crack in the door.
Dai Mubai's tall body was like a rag doll hit by a high-speed spinning top, and he was lifted directly into the air!
He executed a triple axel in mid-air with impeccable precision, accompanied by the ejection of several bloody teeth.
"Bang--!!!"
A loud bang.
Dai Mubai crashed heavily into a haystack more than ten meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
He passed out without even uttering a sound.
Half of his cheek was swollen, his head was tilted to one side, and he had completely lost consciousness.
A deathly silence.
Ning Rongrong's little hand was still raised in mid-air, her mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg.
She looked at the still smoking haystack, and then at Xuan Hao, who was standing in front of Na'er and slowly taking out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.
"This...this..."
Ning Rongrong swallowed, feeling her head buzzing.
"Brother Xuanhao...is this...aren't these things a little inappropriate?"
"After all, it's in someone else's college... and he's... a classmate?"
That's too brutal! One slap and he's dead?
"Not good?"
Xuan Hao casually tossed the handkerchief he had used to wipe his hands onto the ground.
His vertical pupils, now a deep crimson gold, held no warmth, only a chilling indifference.
"To have a physical altercation with Nar, I only knocked him unconscious and didn't smash his head in; I was already being very lenient with Flanders."
After saying that, he turned around, gently patted Na'er's head, and instantly changed his expression, smiling warmly as a spring breeze:
"Were you scared?"
"No!"
Na'er smiled sweetly and rubbed against Xuan Hao's arm:
"My brother is the most handsome!"
At this time.
"Squeak—"
The door, which had been tightly closed for so long, finally opened cautiously under the threat of that slap.
"What...what do you want to do?"
The door was half-open, and Zhu Zhuqing only showed half of her face.
She gripped the door frame tightly with both hands and stared at Xuan Hao warily, her eyes like those of a deranged killer who might pounce on her at any moment.
"Tsk, am I that scary?"
Seeing her tense expression, Xuan Hao helplessly shrugged, a harmless smile on his face:
"I already said, I just ran into an acquaintance and came over to say hello."
"But you, why are you running?"
Xuan Hao took a step forward, startling Zhu Zhuqing so much that she almost slammed the door shut.
He had no choice but to stop and said irritably:
"I'm not going to eat you."
