Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

If you absolutely have to read it aloud, could you turn your back and speak more quietly?

Even Oscar, who is thick-skinned, felt embarrassed by the stares and scratched his head with a silly grin.

Fortunately, the aroma of food wafted from afar, breaking the awkward silence.

Everyone's stomachs started growling, and before they could even stand up, several large food boxes floated steadily in from outside the courtyard and landed on the open space in the square.

Ning Rongrong sniffed, "What is this? It smells so good!"

Ye Hua opened the food box, and a rich aroma of meat wafted out.

Braised Soul Beast Meat, stewed until tender, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, and a glossy, dark brown color;

Steamed sea bass, the fish meat is snow-white and tender, garnished with chopped green onions and ginger;

The roasted chicken is golden brown all over, the fat sizzling, and the crispy skin and tender meat are mouthwatering.

Following closely behind was a whole pot of rice, each grain glistening and steaming hot.

Everyone stared at each other, their mouths watering.

"Eat up," Ye Hua said, picking up his chopsticks first. "After training, it's time to replenish our energy."

"Teacher Ye," Oscar said, almost crying with emotion, "you're so kind!"

"How much will this cost?" Xiao Wu asked instinctively.

"It's not expensive," Ye Hua said, stuffing a piece of braised pork into his mouth. "It was Mu Bai's treat."

Dai Mubai looked up in confusion, feeling inexplicably flustered, but he couldn't show it on the spot, so he could only force a smile.

"Mu Bai, that's generous enough!" Ma Hongjun gave a thumbs up.

"Mu Bai, that's great!" Oscar chimed in.

Dai Mubai was happy to flatter him and simply smiled and agreed, "You're welcome. As your boss, Dai, this is the least I can do!"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "That's right, this is the money you lost to me in the bet yesterday! Boss Dai is so generous!"

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the lunchbox in his hand, the smile on his face gradually fading away.

Everyone sat on the ground around the food box and enjoyed their meal.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, held her bowl but didn't pick up her chopsticks, glancing sideways at Ye Hua.

God knows how long it had been since she had felt this way—being guided, cared for, as if she no longer had to fight the whole world alone.

Without the constant pressure from her sister and brother-in-law, without the sordid infighting within the family, and most importantly, she found a way to become stronger!

She finally saw hope of reaching the highest title, and also hope of escaping the fate of an arranged marriage!

【Ding--】

[Zhu Zhuqing's rescue rate +10%]

Current rescue status: 55%

[Detection indicates that Zhu Zhuqing has rekindled her hope for life and is gradually gaining the strength to fight against her unjust fate, greatly rewriting her original tragedy of being reduced to an appendage and a sacrifice!]

Ye Hua raised an eyebrow, not expecting this to be a plus; it was a lucky accident.

Oscar mixed the last spoonful of braised pork broth into his rice, wolfed it down, and let out a loud burp as he put down his bowl.

“Teacher Ye,” he said, patting his round belly with a sincere expression, “this is the first time in my life that I, Oscar, have experienced what it means to have hope after training.”

Ning Rongrong wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. "Teacher Ye, to be honest, I've met quite a few teachers since I was a child."

"Whether inside or outside the sect, famous or unknown, there are very few who train like you."

"If you're willing, why not come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and become a direct disciple? You can name your salary!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and Tang San even cast a jealous glance at him.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, is the wealthiest sect on the continent.

Becoming a teacher there is a dream come true for many advanced Soul Masters.

If you can join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you'll not only have no shortage of cultivation resources, but you'll also have a Title Douluo as your powerful backer!

So what if Ye Hua has a few secrets? What makes him worthy of being the teacher of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples?

But Ye Hua simply picked up a piece of food, chewed it slowly, and said, "Rongrong, wouldn't you say you're trying to poach the dean's girlfriend?"

Ning Rongrong blinked, "Yes, but Dean Flander can't beat my Sword Grandpa."

Ye Hua: ......

So self-righteous and confident.

She truly lives up to her nickname, Little Witch.

"Oh, Teacher Ye, think about it. Teaching is just a job. It doesn't matter where you teach."

"How much salary can Dean Flander pay you here? But it's different at our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Our sect leader is very generous!"

"You could even marry into our sect if you wish. I'm sure Father won't turn away a genius like you!"

Xiao Wu instantly became alert and grabbed Ye Hua's arm again to assert her dominance.

Ning Rongrong chuckled, "Don't be nervous, Xiao Wu. If you don't want Teacher Ye's soul to be stolen, you can come along too."

"And Sister Zhuqing is welcome too!"

"Good heavens," Ye Hua said, both amused and exasperated, "They're trying to take us all away!"

He finally realized that this wasn't undermining the foundation; it was clearly moving a load-bearing wall into his own house!

Even Tang San was smitten. "Rongrong, look at me..."

"First of all, please call me Ning Rongrong!" Ning Rongrong glared. "Secondly, your soul power isn't even as high as mine!"

"You limp Blue Silver Grass, unable to control yourself for even half a second, do you... deserve it?"

Tang San was speechless, but Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and said, "Let's talk again when you have even half of Teacher Ye's strength!"

Fortunately, time did not give Ning Rongrong a chance to increase her firepower. The dean, who was unaware of the situation, walked out of the academy gate, followed by a middle-aged man with short hair in a gray robe.

"Little monsters, look who's here!"

Chapter 42 Yu Xiaogang is doing well again.

Flander interrupted Ning Rongrong's spellcasting to prevent her from undermining Ning Rongrong's relationship.

Tang San looked up and quickly put down his lunchbox, respectfully saying, "Teacher!"

Yu Xiaogang was very satisfied with Tang San's attitude and patted him on the shoulder, "Little San, I've been away from Wuhun City these past few days, have you missed any training?"

Tang San nodded vigorously, and when he turned to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, his voice was filled with a hint of pride, "Boss Dai, Fatty, this is my teacher, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang!"

"I've told you before that the theoretical work, 'The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul,' is the culmination of my teacher's life's work!"

Dai Mubai was filled with awe.

He had heard that although the master's strength was not great, he did have a lot of experience in training soul masters.

Moreover, Dean Flander said that this master's theoretical attainments are among the best in the entire continent, he is very popular in the Soul Master world, and he knows many Title Douluos.

Ma Hongjun also came over, forcing a smile on his face, which was swollen like a pig's head, "Greetings, Master! Tang San talks about you every day!"

Yu Xiaogang nodded with a smile, and just then, his gaze inadvertently swept behind Tang San.

Someone was holding a pair of chopsticks, looking at him with a half-smile.

Yu Xiaogang froze, as if struck by lightning!

Night! Glory!

How could it be him?!

Flander, completely oblivious to his old friend's strange expression, strode over to Ye Hua's side.

"Xiaogang, come here, let me introduce you. This is the genius teacher I just mentioned to you."

"A formidable figure who single-handedly defeated Zhao Wuji, possessing a first spirit ring of a thousand years and a third spirit ring of ten thousand years—such a monster is unprecedented in Shrek Academy's history..."

"Xiaogang, what's wrong?"

As Flanders spoke, he suddenly noticed that his old friend's face had turned deathly pale, and realized that something was wrong.

He glanced at Ye Hua, then at Yu Xiaogang, and tentatively asked, "Do you two know each other?"

“I know him,” Ye Hua put down his chopsticks, his smile gentle and warm. “We’re old acquaintances, aren’t we?”

Yu Xiaogang felt as if a stone was stuck in his throat.

He remembered that corridor in Nottingham six years ago.

It's that smile, that gentle and harmless tone.

Then he had his ribs broken, spent three months in bed recovering, and was frequently summoned as a suspect!

But a master is a master after all. He took a deep breath, swallowed back his surging emotions, and put on a calm and composed expression again.

“Flander,” he said calmly, “since you’ve asked me to be the teacher, then let me take charge of Shrek Academy’s teaching.”

Flander frowned. "Xiao Gang, I was just about to talk to you about this. Teacher Ye has already started teaching."
