Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

"Alright, that's enough!"

Just as Ao Yin was about to teach Zhu Zhuqing a lesson, Zhao Wuji arrived and interrupted the two.

Seeing this, a hint of relief flashed across Zhao Wuji's eyes.

Even Zhu Zhuqing, a student who has always been aloof and taciturn, has begun to actively seek breakthroughs and train hard.

The Shrek kids are all growing up.

In terms of talent, Zhu Zhuqing is not the most outstanding.

But when it comes to hard work, tenacity, and relentless effort, she is definitely among the top in Shrek Academy.

Talent is important, but perseverance is the foundation for the strong to go far.

Zhao Wuji nodded in satisfaction, but it was time to leave, so he interrupted the two who were engaged in fierce combat.

Although Ao Yin and Zhu Zhuqing were still somewhat reluctant to stop, they had no choice but to follow the arrangements.

Zhao Wuji spoke solemnly.

"Everyone assemble! Ready to depart! Destination—Star Dou Great Forest!"

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

...

After deciding on the destination, Zhao Wuji set off first.

Next, Dai Mubai will lead the team.

In the evening, the group finally arrived at the hunter's village on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The village is small, but it is bustling with people.

"Let's rest here for the night."

Dai Mubai said calmly, "Rest well, we'll go into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls tomorrow."

Xiao Wu looked left and right, puzzled, and asked, "This place is so remote, why are there so many people here?"

Dai Mubai smiled faintly, "That's normal."

"Many Soul Masters enter the Star Dou Great Forest year-round, with the same goal as us: to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings. However, this place is remote, so everyone comes here to rest and replenish supplies before entering the Star Dou Great Forest."

"This place can be considered a forward camp in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Xiao Wu frowned slightly. With so many people, how many soul beasts would have to die to satisfy them?

Noticing Xiao Wu's mood, Ao Yin quickly changed the subject, exclaiming, "I'm so hungry! Shouldn't we have a big meal before we go in? After all, it's deserted inside and there's not much good food!"

Upon hearing about the delicious food, Xiao Wu's stomach immediately started growling.

"Boss, bring out everything you can find that's good to eat!"

Flander and Zhao Wuji arrived late and led everyone into a restaurant.

There were too many people, so Shrek and his group were divided into two tables.

Ao Yin, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong sat at one table, while Zhao Wuji, Flander, and Tang San sat at another.

Xiao Wu looked at the simple meal on the table and pouted.

"The dean is usually too frugal, and the food is so bad. This time we must eat something better."

Ma Hongjun laughed and then muttered in a low voice, "Who says otherwise? The dean is a notorious miser."

Dai Mubai sighed, "Shrek Academy is always short of funds, and the amount the academy can reimburse for meals taken out from home is extremely limited!"

Ao Yin listened without paying any attention and spoke up loudly.

"Xiao Wu, Rong Rong, Zhu Qing."

"Order whatever you want to eat, we'll pay for it ourselves, we won't go through the college for reimbursement."

"I won a lot of gold soul coins in the Soul Arena."

Of course, this was just an excuse. In reality, he had already amassed a fortune through long-term attendance and was not short of money at all.

Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up instantly: "Give me a hundred skewers of grilled kidneys first!"

Xiao Wu was even more decisive, grabbing the menu and shouting, "Boss, bring me one of everything on these menus!"

Ma Hongjun gasped.

He thought he could eat a lot, but he didn't expect Xiao Wu to be even more outrageous.

The waiter was stunned; he had never seen customers order food like this before.

On the other side, Tang San looked at Flander's table, which had only ordered three dishes and a soup, and then at Ao Yin's table, which had listed a table full of delicacies. Compared to that, their table looked incredibly meager!

"I miscalculated! I thought the food would be better if I stayed with the Dean and Teacher Zhao Wuji! But I didn't expect the Dean to be so stingy with himself!"

At this moment, Tang San was filled with remorse. He had come to this table on his own initiative because he wanted to have a good meal!

As a result... his cleverness backfired!

"What's wrong? This food isn't to your liking?"

Zhao Wuji glanced at Tang San, saw through his thoughts at a glance, and his impression of Tang San worsened.

"No, no, no! Tang San has been used to a hard life since he was a child, he can eat anything!"

"hehe!"

Flanders smiled helplessly. "Hard times?"

You want to live a miserable life with Haotian Douluo? You tell me what you want, and see if I believe you!

However, he didn't reveal it, since Haotian Douluo's whereabouts were a mystery and he had no way of knowing how he was doing.

However, as Flander and Zhao Wuji listened to Ao Yin's table reciting a series of lavish menus, they kept swallowing hard.

Zhao Wuji nudged Flander quietly.

"Director, why don't we go over and eat with the children?"

Flander awkwardly pushed up his glasses and remained silent.

Ao Yin saw this and was very perceptive.

He waved to the waiter, who brought two complete menus to the teacher's table as well, and put them all on his tab.

He pulled a heavy handful of gold soul coins from his storage bag and pushed them forward.

"Hurry up and serve the food, is this enough?"

The waiter opened the cloth bag and was greeted by a dazzling golden light.

"Enough! That's more than enough!"

"Consider the rest as a tip," Ao Yin said casually, waving his hand.

The waiter almost burst into tears of joy.

He had never received so many tips in his life. He bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude and then hurriedly ran to the kitchen to urge the chef to prepare the food.

But he turned around too quickly and bumped into a group of people in white uniforms who had just entered.

"Hey~ what are you doing?"

"If you can't watch where you're going, gouge your eyes out and serve them to me as a snack with your drinks!"

The burly man in the white robe suddenly grabbed the waiter by the collar, his anger blazing.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, sir, please calm down!" the waiter quickly apologized.

"snort!"

"Why hasn't our roast chicken arrived yet?" The burly man in the white uniform gritted his teeth, clearly enraged.

"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. We'll finish that large order first, and then we'll prepare yours right away!"

"What do you mean? You want us to wait?"

"Don't push your luck, come to our table first!"

The faces of the men in white robes and uniforms darkened immediately, and they spoke arrogantly.

However, Dai Mubai wasn't going to tolerate these words. He sneered, "So you're just a bumpkin from Canghui Academy. Do you even know how to write the character for 'arrogant'?"

A sarcastic remark landed.

All the Canghui students in the audience turned as black as ink in an instant.

How dare this insignificant, nameless squad defy Canghui Academy?

Looking back, I saw Xiao Wu standing up with her hands on her hips: "Our dishes haven't all been served yet! Why should you get priority?"

The crowd, who were initially furious, lost most of their anger after their eyes swept over Xiao Wu, and their faces turned into lewd smiles.

Such stunning beauty is hidden in this remote mountain village.

This is simply a stroke of good fortune.

The group exchanged glances and surrounded them with ill intentions.

The leading man, emboldened by lust, paid no attention to Dai Mubai and the others. His gaze swept over Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, his greed undisguised.

His tone was flippant, "Oh, and there are three stunning beauties too! What else is there to serve? You guys are our type, brothers, you're in for a treat tonight!"

As they spoke, several Canghui students grinned and reached out to grope the three women.

Ao Yin raised an eyebrow slightly, remained seated, his expression calm and unmoved.

He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and understood immediately.

This group of people walked unsteadily, their soul power scattered. The so-called Canghui Academy was nothing but a facade of grandeur masking underlying decay!

and--

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing – which one is the pushover?

These spoiled brats have only brought shame upon themselves.

clap clap clap!

A crisp slap rang out suddenly!

Zhu Zhuqing despised frivolous scoundrels the most, and would slap them hard across the face several times.

clap clap-

The blow was forceful and clean, making the other person's head go numb and their cheeks instantly turn red and swollen.

Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat when she saw this.

She clicked her tongue softly, "Sister Zhuqing, that was so ruthless! It looks painful!"

The man in the lead covered his face, both angry and bewildered.

He roared fiercely, "You dare hit us?! Do you know who we are?!"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were cold and sharp, her chill penetrating to the bone.

"No matter who it is."

"We're going to beat you bunch of thugs!!"

Upon hearing this, the group became enraged, shouting, "Ignorant brat!"

Roll up your sleeves and get ready to go...

Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!

Several muffled thuds.

Ahhhhhhh—

A group of Canghui students screamed in pain, trying to get up and retaliate, but they didn't get a chance.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing made their move, and in a few moves, they kicked everyone to the ground again.

Each kick was aimed precisely at their groin, causing the group to writhe on the ground in pain, unable to even stand up.

Ao Yin sneered, showing no pity for them, and fixed his gaze on another table in the corner.

There sat another middle-aged man in the Canghui Academy uniform, exuding an air of authority; he was probably the group's...leading teacher!

But if the so-called team leader condones the students' bullying, he wouldn't mind dealing with that teacher as well!
