"Dean, how is Xiao Wu doing?" Tang San asked anxiously, looking at Flender, who was examining Xiao Wu's condition.
At this moment, he had never felt such hatred for his own weakness, nor such a strong desire for power.
If he were strong enough, he wouldn't have allowed Xiao Wu to get hurt. And he wouldn't have had to worry about the forces behind that 'I Love Eating Rabbit Meat.' He could have just killed him on the spot.
Now Xiao Wu was injured, unconscious, and unaware.
Flender released Xiao Wu's arm, shaking his head and sighing, "Strange, really strange."
"Dean, what is it? Is there something wrong with Xiao Wu?"
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu isn't seriously hurt. I just used my soul power to examine her body. Aside from the swelling on her face from being hit, the rest of her body is completely fine. There's no real injury—at most, it's like she fell down hard, nothing more," Flender explained, frowning.
"But..." Flender continued, shaking his head with a puzzled expression. "Xiao Wu should have woken up by now. The fact that she's still unconscious is really puzzling."
"Could it be that her spirit suffered a backlash, causing her to fall unconscious? During the match, Xiao Wu used her 'Charm' ability on 'I Love Eating Rabbit Meat,' but it was broken," Dai Mubai hesitated.
Oscar chimed in, "That's possible. I remember during the entrance exam, Xiao Wu used her charm on Teacher Zhao Wuji, and she was knocked unconscious due to the backlash."
"That's unlikely," Flender shook his head. "Xiao Wu's charm ability is a rare mental attack. If her spirit had suffered a backlash, her face would be extremely pale, and her body would be weak. Xiao Wu shows no signs of mental backlash."
Standing on the side, Ning Rongrong listened to everyone speculating and sighed, shaking her head. "You guys really don't understand women."
"Rongrong, Xiao Wu is in this state, and you're making sarcastic remarks?" Ma Hongjun complained.
"I'm not wrong. If you don't believe me, find a healing soul master to heal Xiao Wu's face. I guarantee she'll be up and lively in no time," Ning Rongrong shrugged, feeling helpless. Women understand women better. If it were her who got beaten to the point of looking like a pig, she'd probably pretend to be unconscious until fully healed.
"You mean..." Flender, who was experienced in life, quickly caught Ning Rongrong's point. He turned to Oscar, "Xiao Ao, give me two recovery sausages."
"Dean, I already gave them to her, but Xiao Wu is unconscious and can't open her mouth to eat them," Oscar said helplessly.
"This..." Flender hesitated, then said, "Tang San, take Xiao Wu with me. I know a good healing soul master in Suotuo City. But this will cost..."
"I'll pay, Dean. As long as Xiao Wu can wake up, I'll spend everything I have," Tang San said firmly.
"Alright then. Hongjun, Mubai, Xiao Ao, Rongrong, you go back to the hotel first and check if Zhu Zhuqing has returned," Flender said, leading the way, with Tang San carrying Xiao Wu and following closely behind.
This left Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong standing there, staring at each other.
Dai Mubai walked ahead, with Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun following behind.
Oscar walked while asking Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, what did you mean by what you said earlier?"
"What else could I mean? Xiao Wu is already awake, but she doesn't want to get up," Ning Rongrong shrugged slightly.
"So Xiao Wu is pretending?" Dai Mubai turned around to ask.
"Yes," Ning Rongrong nodded.
"But why would she pretend? Doesn't she know how worried Brother San is about her?" Hearing this, Ma Hongjun hurriedly asked.
Ning Rongrong looked at Ma Hongjun with disdain. "I told you, you don't understand women. No wonder Dai Mubai can attract girls easily while you have to visit brothels."
Still confused, Ma Hongjun listened to Dai Mubai laugh and curse, "Fatty, Xiao Wu is just too embarrassed to wake up. Think about it: a girl who was once beautiful suddenly turns into an ugly mess. If she wakes up, she'd want to find a hole to hide in. It's better to pretend to sleep until the injuries heal."
Ma Hongjun finally understood, but just as he was about to say something, a familiar figure emerged from a nearby alley, accompanied by a handsome young man. He couldn't help but shout, "Boss Dai, look! Isn't that Zhuqing? And she's with some pretty boy! Look, they're holding hands."
As he spoke, Ma Hongjun pointed in their direction.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong were shocked and quickly looked where Ma Hongjun was pointing.
On the wide, well-lit street, a boy and a girl were standing hand in hand.
The boy was dressed in fine clothes and looked about twelve or thirteen years old. He was over 1.7 meters tall and wore a blue outfit. His black hair fluttered in the wind, his skin was fair, and he was quite handsome. He was smiling, occasionally glancing at the girl beside him, chatting happily and looking very close.
The girl was shorter than the boy. Her black hair fell over her shoulders, and her skin was fair. She had an unusually full, curvy figure for her age. Her expression was a bit cold, her black eyes devoid of any warmth, which contrasted with her otherwise pretty face.
Her limbs were long and slender, and though she exuded a deathly cold aura, she could still interact normally with the boy. Her smiles were few, but they were genuine.
These two were Lan Si and Zhu Zhuqing, who had just confirmed their relationship.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai was furious, feeling a surge of jealousy. Just then, a green light illuminated the street, making his entire being turn green.
At first, Dai Mubai thought Zhu Zhuqing was angry with him for flirting with other girls and not giving him any attention.
Now he finally understood why Zhu Zhuqing had been indifferent toward him over the past three months, treating him no differently than she did Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar. It was as if they were strangers.
It turned out Zhu Zhuqing had already let go of their engagement and found someone new.
"That bastard..." Filled with rage, Dai Mubai raised his right hand, white light glowing in his palm. He charged toward Lan Si and Zhu Zhuqing. He was never one with a good temper—in fact, his temper was worse than most.
Seeing that he had been cheated on, Dai Mubai didn't hesitate. He'd deal with this pretty boy first.
