Chapter 473: They are coming towards you.
Heaven Dou City, outskirts.
Two beauties, one big and one small, stopped here.
The older-looking one wore a pair of glasses, giving her a unique charm.
"Lumine, we're almost at Heaven Dou City City."
"This is roughly the place where the Emperor and Paimon descended back then..."
As someone who was great at chatting, Xianyun would often ask Zhongli about the events of the past years. She was well-informed about Zhongli and Paimon's whereabouts!
"..."
Lumine's lips parted slightly, about to say something, when a voice interrupted her.
"Hey... Boss Dai, look what I found!"
The voice sounded somewhat lecherous, causing Xianyun and Lumine to instinctively look in its direction.
The speaker was Ma Hongjun.
After parting ways with Flender and the others, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were in a dilemma, unsure whether they should return to Heaven Dou City City to continue causing trouble for Zhu Zhuqing.
The two wandered around and ended up at the outskirts of Heaven Dou City City. As they were discussing whether to continue targeting Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun suddenly exclaimed.
Following the direction Ma Hongjun pointed, Dai Mubai's gaze fell.
"Hiss—"
Dai Mubai couldn't help but took a sharp breath. This woman... her figure and her intellectuality were so alluring!
Lumine: "???"
Indeed, Lumine had nothing to do with this.
Even though she was beautiful, she was too flat. To Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, Lumine was just a pretty little sister.
"As expected of you, Fatty, your taste is truly unique."
Dai Mubai snapped out of it and spoke.
The two exchanged a glance but didn't do anything.
The first rule of Shrek Academy was to not harass women. As top students of Shrek Academy, they naturally wouldn't make such a basic mistake.
As for brothels, that was a paid service, consensual, so it didn't count.
"Boss Dai, I fell for her at first sight. Don't you dare steal her from me!"
Ma Hongjun said with rare seriousness. For some reason, he felt a strange stirring in his martial soul.
Hearing this and seeing Ma Hongjun so serious for once, Dai Mubai didn't hesitate and patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, Fatty, I definitely don't have any ulterior motives."
The principle of not coveting a friend's wife was something Dai Mubai understood.
This wasn't just a friend; he was his brother.
Since Ma Hongjun liked her, he naturally wouldn't snatch her away.
"Hehe!"
Ma Hongjun scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, but was already thinking of ways to approach her.
Dai Mubai revised at Lumine, gave her a once-over, and finally shook his head.
Lumine: "???"
Wait, what's the meaning of this?
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, as Titled Douluo and heirs of Divine Inheritances, had no qualifications given their strength and status.
They didn't hide their conversation from Xianyun and Lumine.
Xianyun and Lumine exchanged a glance, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Xianyun, it seems they're coming for you..."
"This immortal knows."
Xianyun crossed her arms, making her greatness even greater.
"The gaze of these mortals displeases this immortal."
As someone who was great at chatting, Xianyun spoke her mind without reservation.
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were stunned.
Mortals? This immortal?
For some reason, they felt that this ethereal-looking woman wasn't as simple as she seemed.
Could they really afford to mess up again this time?
The two exchanged a glance, their fighting spirit soaring.
They couldn't afford to offend those they had already offended.
They refused to believe that a woman they accidentally encountered couldn't be offended!
"Boss Dai, let's go!"
Ma Hongjun said to Dai Mubai beside him, then took a step forward, heading towards Xianyun and Lumine.
Dai Mubai was momentarily stunned. Something felt off about this, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
He instinctively followed behind Ma Hongjun.
As brothers, if his brother wanted to flirt, he could play the wingman. Let Ma Hongjun show off a bit.
"Hey, beauty, we're no ordinary mortals!"
Ma Hongjun stopped five meters away from Xianyun.
He pointed at himself and Dai Mubai with his thumb, saying this.
Even without mentioning their inheritance, their current strength alone proves they weren't ordinary mortals.
What kind of ordinary person could reach the Titled Douluo level?
"Exactly, have you ever seen such handsome, dashing mortals like us?"
Dai Mubai crossed his arms, grinning mischievously, striking what he thought was a dashing pose.
Xianyun, Lumine: "..."
"Are people in the Douluo Continent always this bold?"
Lumine was questioned about her life, looking at Xianyun.
After all, on the Sun Moon Continent, the so-called strong ones, the so-called Level 9 Soul Engineers, will only feel fear and recovery upon seeing Xianyun. Who would dare to flirt like this?
Luckily, Xianyun had a good temper and enough patience with humans, or else these two would probably be dead by now?
"Oh~"
Xianyun's lips curled into a slight smile, her eyes narrowing as she said nonchalantly, "How do you two prove you're not ordinary mortals?"
Not even pseudo-gods, what else could these two be but ordinary mortals?
However, the two did carry the aura of pseudo-gods.
Hearing this, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, a hint of joy in their eyes.
They were afraid the other party wouldn't be interested and would just leave.
They couldn't use force either, as it would violate Shrek Academy's rules.
Even if the academy was gone, they couldn't do that.
Even though Dai Mubai hated Zhu Zhuqing so much, the most malicious thought he had was to beat her up to vent his anger.
Although they had fallen somewhat, they hadn't fallen too far.
If the other party was interested, that was different.
Money, status, strength, what couldn't they offer now?
Of course, such an intellectual beauty wouldn't be swayed by money or status. She definitely wasn't that kind of person!
Ma Hongjun firmly believed this in his heart.
The beauty before him looked to be in her thirties, the prime of her life.
Her strength was likely on par with Teacher Liu Erlong, though more likely, she was inferior to Teacher Liu Erlong.
She was also very unique, calling herself an immortal?
Although he didn't know what that meant, he really liked it!
"Beauty, let me introduce myself."
Ma Hongjun patted his chest, smiling mischievously as he said, "I'm Ma Hongjun, just turned eighteen this year!"
Indeed, Ma Hongjun was only eighteen, as there was still a year left before the five-year agreement.
"Though I'm young, I..."
Ma Hongjun went all out to impress, directly summoning his martial soul!
The aura of a Titled Douluo instantly spread across the area.
As his soul rings appeared, just as he was feeling smug, thinking the other party would be surprised, their reactions left him utterly shocked.
###
Chapter 474: 474: This Isn't Even on the Same Level of Skill!
Xianyun, Lumine: "..."
Ma Hongjun: "…"
No, dear sister, could you at least show some emotional response?
You're making me look like a fool!
Ma Hongjun screamed inwardly, but his face showed only confusion.
Were these two beauties scared?
To test his theory, Ma Hongjun casually said, "Beauties, surely someone like me can't be considered an ordinary mortal, right?"
As a "strong person," what he cares about most when showing off is the emotional response. But these two beauties were just "dumbfounded," offering no emotional value at all.
This made Ma Hongjun feel like he was punching cotton.
Lumine and Xianyun exchanged glances, both looking puzzled.
Especially Lumine, who already understood the cultivation system of this planet. A Title Douluo with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and only eighteen years old...
So what?
Still pathetically weak.
In this world, he might be considered a genius, a prodigy, but he wasn't facing someone from this world.
Lumine's knowledge far surpasses Xianyun's.
After all, Xianyun was just an immortal who had lived for a few thousand years, with experience limited to two worlds.
But Lumine was a traveler who had experienced many worlds. A mere Title Douluo...
After a while, Xianyun finally spoke, "Mortal, what kind of power has given you this illusion?"
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were slightly stunned, their eyes filled with confusion.
"Illusion?"
Thinking about it, Ma Hongjun said, "No way, beauty, even a prodigy like me can't catch your eye?"
As if reminding something, Ma Hongjun added, "You, don't aim too high!"
Now that Ma Hongjun had slimmed down, his looks were passable.
Xianyun and Lumine's eyes twitched, somewhat speechless.
This human was quite amusing!
He actually told her (the Cloud Retainer) not to aim too high...
"Mortal, this immortal's patience is limited. Leave now."
For once, a hint of anger appeared on Xianyun's face, but it had a unique charm!
"A little brat like you, though you've gained some power, it's not enough to provoke this immortal."
At this point, Xianyun paused, then continued, "If you don't stop now, this immortal won't mind teaching you a lesson."
"???"
Ma Hongjun felt like his head was full of question marks. He was a Title Douluo, and the other party was... threatening him?
"Beauty, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"
A Title Douluo! The pinnacle of power on the Douluo Continent!
Yet the beauty in front of him was looking at him like he was a child!
Did she think everyone was Zhongli or Xiao Feilian?
Thinking this, Ma Hongjun said, "I admit there are more talented people than me, like Xiao Feilian from the Body Sect. She's a bit better than me."
"But you..."
Before Ma Hongjun could finish, Xianyun said, "That girl Chiyu? She's a good child. This immortal quite likes her."
"???"
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai both shuddered and instinctively took three steps back.
"Wait, you know her?"
"Of course, the Emperor told me about her when she was young. She had a difficult past."
As the "True Lord Who Loves to Chat," Xianyun seemed to have opened a floodgate, speaking incessantly.
"Fortunately, the Emperor was kind and took her in, changing her predetermined fate."
"This immortal also likes that child. It's been a long time since I've been back..."
Suddenly, as if realizing something, Xianyun said, "Huh, why am I telling you all this?"
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun exchanged glances, a hint of fear and wariness in their eyes.
Then, as if reminding something, they looked at Xianyun with confusion.
"Haha, it must be fake!"
"Woman, don't think you can fool us. We are indeed afraid of the Emperor and Xiao Feilian."
Dai Mubai sneezed, somewhat displeased, and said, "If you don't want to accept my brother, just say it. Why put on this act?"
Although they weren't gentlemen, they hadn't resorted to violence.
Ma Hongjun was openly pursuing her, yet she was treating him like a fool. It was somewhat infuriating.
Afraid Xianyun wouldn't understand, Dai Mubai added, "We brothers aren't bullying you with our Title Douluo strength. Why resort to such tricks?"
"Big Brother Dai, forget it, forget it."
"She's just afraid of our strength and might hurt the two of them, that's why she's lying."
The two brothers played off each other quite well.
This... was also a trick!
One plays the good cop, the other the bad cop.
The reason they were so bold was that they didn't believe this woman knew Zhongli and Xiao Feilian.
From her tone, Xiao Feilian was just a junior, a little girl.
Was that possible?
Clearly, there was a flaw!
"???"
Xianyun felt like her head was full of question marks. These two mortals were truly clueless, accusing her of lying!
"Lying? This immortal never lies!"
Lumine's eyes twitched. If she remembered correctly, Xianyun had lied before.
"This immortal is not the Cloud Retainer..."
That kind of obvious lie was still a lie, wasn't it?
"Beauty, this is your mistake..."
Before Ma Hongjun could finish, Xianyun's patience seemed to have run out. She said, "This immortal is in a hurry to see the Emperor. Since you refuse to leave, don't blame this immortal for being unreasonable."
"Hehehe... Big Brother Dai, look, this beauty's anger has its own charm!"
Ma Hongjun smirked, speaking to Dai Mubai beside him.
"Right, you're right. Your eye for beauty is spot on."
Dai Mumbai nodded subconsciously, his gaze towards Xianyun now filled with infatuation.
If Ma Hongjun couldn't handle her, then it was up to the dashing Dai Mubai to step in!
"Beauty, how do you plan to be unreasonable?"
Ma Hongjun smirked, his eyes showing three parts coldness, three parts mockery, and four parts nonchalance.
At that moment, a delicate hand appeared in front of his face.
"Ah... don't hit the face!"
Time passed, and after about a quarter of an hour, Xianyun and Lumine quietly left.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun knelt on the ground, their faces swollen like pig heads, their eyes filled with confusion, shock, and fear.
After a long while, Ma Hongjun finally said, "Big Brother Dai, it seems we've been beaten again."
"Mmm~"
"Too strong, this isn't even on the same level of skill!"
"She called it some kind of immortal technique..."
The two brothers exchanged glances, feeling grateful just to be alive.
