Chapter 451 Feeding Dai Yinhu a Dragon Beard Needle
Meeting the shocked and puzzled gazes of the Dragon King and the Snake Queen, Meng Yiran smiled and calmly replied:
"Because I ate a divine herb, oh, it was given to me by Brother Qifeng."
The Dragon King and the Snake Queen looked at each other in bewilderment:
"What exactly is this divine medicinal herb?"
Meng Yiran immediately explained the concept of immortal herbs, as well as the Purple Ganoderma Snow Dragon's Roar she had consumed and the two soul rings she had absorbed, to them in detail.
After hearing Meng Yiran's description, the Dragon Lord and the Snake Woman finally understood. The Dragon Lord asked:
"So, the reason your soul power surged to level 42 and you absorbed two soul rings that surpassed the theoretical limits of a soul master was thanks to the immortal herbs gifted by that brat Ye Qifeng?"
"Yes."
Meng Yiran nodded affirmatively, then smiled and asked:
"Grandpa, Grandma, besides soul power and soul rings, haven't you noticed anything else different about me?"
Snake Granny's eyes twitched slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed the snake staff martial spirit in Meng Yiran's right palm, which seemed somewhat different from before. She immediately let out a soft exclamation:
"Huh? Yiran, your martial soul..."
…………
Shrek Campsite.
Sensing a sudden burst of fierce and domineering soul power behind her, Zhu Zhuqing immediately realized that Dai Mubai was about to attack her.
Her reaction was extremely quick. Almost at the same time that Dai Mubai's soul power erupted, her evolved Netherworld Cat Martial Soul was instantly activated and possessed, with ten sharp cat claws flicking out.
He immediately turned around and stabbed behind him.
Ding--
As their soul power was activated, the spiky cat claws and the long blade-like tiger claws collided violently, and a crisp metallic clang immediately rang out.
Zhu Zhuqing gracefully flipped over, simultaneously kicking Dai Mubai in the chest. Using the force of the recoil, she pulled herself several meters away before landing lightly.
Dai Mubai seemed caught off guard. The force of the counterattack caused his arm to rise slightly, and he took two steps back after being kicked in the chest by Zhu Zhuqing.
He hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to react so quickly. She had noticed his sudden attack in an instant and countered so sharply and swiftly.
The danger perception of an agility-type Soul Master is indeed extraordinary; it seems she cannot be underestimated.
But why was her counterattack so powerful?
This is probably comparable to the strength of an ordinary Soul Master, right?
She clearly only has the cultivation of a level 30 Great Soul Master, and she hasn't even obtained her third soul ring yet, so how could she unleash the power of a Soul Venerable?
Moreover, she is a speed-type Soul Master who focuses on agility, not a strength-type Soul Master. Strange, could it be that I sensed something wrong?
Dai Mubai frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.
However, he was ultimately a Soul Master with a Soul Power of Level 37, and his apparent strength was slightly stronger than Zhu Zhuqing's. Although it was somewhat unexpected that Zhu Zhuqing would counterattack and kick him, he didn't feel much except for a slight tightness in his chest.
On the contrary, Zhu Zhuqing's jade-like hand was sore from the shock that her right hand, which was holding the sharp cat claw, trembled slightly.
Although her physique was greatly enhanced after being treated with the divine herb Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, she was still slightly inferior to Dai Mubai in terms of absolute strength.
Furthermore, although her own soul power had increased to or even surpassed Dai Mubai's level, she had not yet obtained her third soul ring, which prevented the soul power accumulated in her body from being put to use, and thus she was unable to unleash her true strength.
So in this battle, although Dai Mubai was a bit careless and underestimated his opponent, Zhu Zhuqing still fell behind and suffered a slight loss.
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes were fixed on Dai Mubai, her pretty face frosty as she coldly questioned:
"Dai Mubai, what are you trying to do?"
Dai Mubai flicked his right tiger claw, looked up at Zhu Zhuqing, and said with a gloomy expression:
"What for? Of course, it's to remind you who you are."
"As a fiancée, you should act like one towards your fiancé. Who are you trying to impress with that sour face all the time?"
"Why don't you wear this sour face in front of that pretty boy Ye Qifeng? You even dare to be all lovey-dovey in front of me, do you think I have a good temper?"
As he spoke, Dai Mubai raised his eight-foot-long tiger claw, aiming it at Zhu Zhuqing:
"Zhu Zhuqing, I'm giving you a choice now: leave that pretty boy, come back to me, and do what you're supposed to do."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained unchanged, as cold as ever. She didn't take Dai Mubai's threat seriously. In her eyes, which had transformed into dark green and clear blue cat eyes, disdain and contempt only intensified.
"Dai Mubai, I've said it before, there's nothing between us anymore. Your so-called marriage is worthless to me, utter bullshit."
"And stop trying to flatter yourself. You think you're worthy of being compared to Brother Ye?"
"You only dare to be so presumptuous because Brother Ye isn't here. If Brother Ye were here, would you dare to be so tough? You probably wouldn't dare to utter a single word."
"Heh, trash."
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's undisguised sarcasm, Dai Mubai was furious. "You shameless woman, how dare you say that I am not as good as that pretty boy Ye Qifeng?"
It seems necessary for you to experience what true power is.
With a firm thought, Dai Mubai immediately let out a low roar, his right tiger claw emitting white light, his waist slightly arched, and then he suddenly leaped and pounced towards Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were clear and bright. Facing Dai Mubai's claw attacks, she remained calm and fearless.
However, she knew that she could not compete with Dai Mubai in terms of offensive power, so she did not engage in a head-on confrontation with him as she had before.
With a series of mysterious footsteps, she leaped to the side as nimbly as a black cat, easily dodging Dai Mubai's attack.
Dai Mubai seemed to have anticipated the missed attack, but he did not give up the pursuit. His waist twisted suddenly as if defying the laws of physics, and he pounced on Zhu Zhuqing to the side.
Zhu Zhuqing is an agility-type Soul Master, far surpassing Dai Mubai in agility, speed, and adaptability, so she naturally wouldn't let him succeed.
With the aid of the Phantom Movement Technique, Zhu Zhuqing moved her delicate body, leaving behind streaks of black afterimages, and once again easily dodged Dai Mubai's attack.
Dai Mubai refused to accept defeat and continued his pursuit.
Zhu Zhuqing used a mysterious footwork technique to dodge continuously, while also taking the opportunity to retaliate by unexpectedly launching several cat claw attacks.
The two continued like this, one chasing and the other dodging, attacking each other at the same time.
Zhu Zhuqing was extremely fast, constantly dodging around the arena, and managed not to be injured by Dai Mubai in the slightest.
On the contrary, Dai Mubai was exhausted and could not attack Zhu Zhuqing's main body at all. He couldn't even touch a hair on Zhu Zhuqing's body. Every time he attacked with all his might, he could only vent his energy on a series of dark phantoms.
…………
"What's wrong?"
Sensing the sudden burst of soul power from Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San and Oscar emerged from one of the tents, while Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu also stepped out from another girls' tent.
The group soon spotted Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing moving nimbly in the open space in the center of the campsite.
"You bunch of brats, are you ever going to stop? Can't you just shut up for a bit? I finally got a chance to lie down and rest for a while."
Zhao Wuji emerged from a single tent, cursing and swearing.
He has to be on guard duty at night, so he can only spare a little time during the day to catch up on sleep.
Although a Soul Saint-level expert can go without sleep for days and nights without any problems, his energy will eventually become somewhat depleted, so he should rest properly when he can.
But he had only just lay down and dozed off for a while when those two silly kids, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, started fighting again.
Watching Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing chasing and attacking each other in the arena, Zhao Wuji frowned:
"What's going on with you two? Why are you fighting?"
Dai Mubai stopped his pursuit, panting heavily for a few moments before looking at Zhao Wuji, but his words were rather impolite:
"Teacher Zhao, this is my private matter, please don't interfere."
Zhao Wuji glared at him, his face displeased:
"What do you mean, 'your private matters'? This little girl, Zhu Zhuqing, was someone I invited to travel with me. How dare you bully her? What, are you trying to slap me in the face?"
Seeing Zhao Wuji's anger, Tang San quickly ran to Zhao Wuji's side to defend Dai Mubai:
"Teacher Zhao, this is not Mu Bai's fault, it's not his fault."
Zhao Wuji glanced at Tang San:
"What do you mean?"
Tang San immediately explained the relationship between Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, and Ye Qifeng to Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji listened with a look of astonishment:
"What? Isn't Ye Qifeng Zhu Zhuqing's brother?"
Just then, the foul-mouthed rogue rabbit Xiao Wu walked over:
"Teacher Zhao, you've been fooled. Ye Qifeng isn't that big-breasted... uh, Zhu Zhuqing's brother at all, but her lover."
Zhao Wuji seemed somewhat incredulous and turned his gaze to Tang San:
"is that so?"
Tang San nodded:
"The words may be rough, but the reasoning is sound; what Xiaowu said is all true."
"Originally, Zhu Zhuqing was Mu Bai's fiancée, but she later abandoned Mu Bai and ran off to be with Ye Qifeng."
"Mu Bai has always held a grudge about this matter. If Ye Qifeng hadn't been so strong that Mu Bai was no match for him, he probably would have already taken care of them."
Zhao Wuji's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a subtle emotion.
He genuinely had no idea that Dai Mubai had such a complicated relationship with Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing. He had always thought that Dai Mubai was beaten up before because he had flirted with Zhu Zhuqing and was punished by Ye Qifeng.
After all, as his teacher, he knew Dai Mubai's true nature very well.
But now Tang San says that Zhu Zhuqing was originally Dai Mubai's fiancée, and Ye Qifeng is the one who stole someone else's wife.
The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable.
Zhu Zhuqing's unfaithfulness to her husband and abandonment of him for another man is equally unforgivable, so it's understandable that Dai Mubai would take action against her.
This is indeed their private matter.
However, Zhao Wuji thought about it and felt that Zhu Zhuqing was, after all, someone he had invited. It wouldn't be good if she were to be injured by his student; he would lose face.
Importantly, Zhu Zhuqing has a very good talent, which he admires and wants to recruit into Shrek Academy.
So he decided to go forward and stop the two of them:
"Since they're engaged, can't they talk things out? Why do they have to fight? I'll go stop them."
However, Tang San stopped him:
"Hey, Teacher Zhao, let's not get involved. This is Mu Bai's private matter, and it's not good for outsiders to interfere. Let them handle it themselves."
The mischievous rabbit Xiao Wu, whose pink eyes darted around, also spoke up to advise:
"Yes, Teacher Zhao, let's not meddle in other people's business."
"You have no idea how arrogant and rude that big-breasted... uh, Zhu Zhuqing is. We've seen it all these past few days."
"She never gave Dai Yinhu, uh, Dai Laohu, a kind look. She always had a cold face and wouldn't even acknowledge him. No wonder Dai Laohu was angry."
"So, it's a good thing to let Tiger Dai teach her a lesson."
After being brainwashed by Tang San and Xiao Wu with exaggerated embellishments, Zhao Wuji, whose mind was extremely simple, was quickly fooled. He waved his large, fan-like hand:
"Forget it, let them fight it out, I can't be bothered with it."
However, he still stood on the sidelines watching, just in case anything unexpected happened.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong also arrived at the sidelines.
Oscar looked on in bewilderment as he watched Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing facing off in the arena.
"Why are those two fighting?"
Having heard about the relationship between Tang San and Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong vaguely guessed the reason.
Because Oscar had saved her once, her feelings for him had improved somewhat, so she answered his question softly, repeating to him the complicated relationship between Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Qifeng, as well as her own speculations.
"What? They're engaged?!"
Oscar looked stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses:
"I'll go stop them."
He had a pretty good impression of Zhu Zhuqing, and after spending so many days together, he could tell that Zhu Zhuqing didn't like Dai Mubai at all; the person she liked was clearly Ye Qifeng.
Oscar knew Dai Mubai quite well, and his actions to bully him now were simply an attempt to take advantage of Ye Qifeng's absence.
Oscar felt it was necessary to go and stop them.
But just as he took a step forward, Ning Rongrong reached out and stopped him:
"What are you doing up there? Looking for a fight? Can't you see Dai Mubai is already furious and embarrassed, his eyes are all red?"
"What use is it for a food-type Soul Master like you to go up there? Either of them could just touch you and you'd be bedridden for days."
Oscar's face immediately turned awkward, but he also felt that Ning Rongrong's words made sense. As a food-type soul master, if he rashly rushed into the middle of the battlefield between power-attack and agility-attack soul masters, he was indeed very likely to be accidentally injured.
Ning Rongrong glanced at Oscar, whose expression was slightly awkward, and continued in a leisurely tone:
"Teacher Zhao hasn't even made a move, why are you worrying about it?"
"Besides, do you think Ye Qifeng left Zhu Zhuqing alone at Shrek Academy without giving her some kind of trump card? Dai Mubai might suffer a great loss later."
Upon hearing this, Oscar hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed Ning Rongrong's advice and did not dare to rush up to stop Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
He looked at Ning Rongrong and chuckled:
"Rongrong, were you just worried about me?"
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and turned her head away:
"Get lost! Who cares about you? If you want to die, I won't stop you."
…………
In the middle of the venue.
Zhu Zhuqing landed lightly, her eyes coldly fixed on Dai Mubai, who was panting heavily opposite her. With her right hand, she gently touched the silver ring on her left finger, silently taking out a handful of golden granules the size of red beans and hiding them in her palm.
The golden particles were a piece of crystal gold given to her by Ye Qifeng for self-defense.
The moment the golden crystals fell into her hand, Zhu Zhuqing immediately infused them with soul power. Each golden particle instantly straightened into a golden needle-like thread, several times thinner than a hair and more than three inches long.
It is indeed the Dragon Beard Needle.
It was obvious that she intended to feed Dai Mubai, this invincible lecherous tiger, a good taste of dragon whisker needles.
Zhu Zhuqing flipped her jade-like hand, hiding all the dragon whisker needles between her fingers.
Her movements were extremely subtle, and no one could detect them, not even Tang San, who was skilled in using hidden weapons.
Perhaps it was unexpected that Zhu Zhuqing, a Soul Master specializing in agility and close combat, would use hidden weapons to deal with Dai Mubai.
By the time he realized it, it was too late.
