In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Qian Renxue nodded slightly and said to Ning Fengzhi, "Teacher, Qinghe takes her leave."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue turned and left. Lan Si walked alongside her, silently counting in his mind, five, four... three, two, one.

Just as Lan Simo counted to one, Ma Hongjun's voice rang out from behind, "Wait..."

Lan Si and Qian Renxue stopped in their tracks, exchanged a smile, and both of them revealed a mischievous glint in their eyes.

"So, have you made up your mind?" Lan Si asked, turning around.

Ma Hongjun nodded. He didn't speak, but walked straight to Yu Xiaogang and slapped him hard across the face. He answered with his actions: "You old bastard, I've put up with you for a long time. If it weren't for you and that Tang San tricking me into taking some kind of immortal herb, I wouldn't be prematurely aging, and I wouldn't be childless."

As he spoke, the fat man slapped Yu Xiaogang more than a dozen times, showing no sign of stopping.

*Slap slap slap...*

Yu Xiaogang's head was buzzing from the slaps... he even forgot to scream. By the time he reacted, a barrage of fists swept over him.

"Damn it, Ma Hongjun, are you crazy..." Seeing her lover being beaten, Liu Erlong was about to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by Lan Si. He flashed in front of Liu Erlong and pressed several acupoints on her body, instantly rendering Liu Erlong unable to move.

“Brother Oscar, that damned eunuch and his treacherous apprentice have caused you enough trouble. Don’t hold back, just slap him all you want.” Lan Si turned his gaze to Oscar.

Although Oscar really wanted to beat up Yu Xiaogang, he considered that he was already the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and his every word and action represented the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He subconsciously looked at Ning Fengzhi to ask for his opinion.

Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly and said, "Little Ao, in order to save your friend, you'll have to put up with the Master's injustice."

With Ning Fengzhi's consent, Oscar didn't hesitate any longer and joined Ma Hongjun's side. They used both hands and feet to punch and kick Yu Xiaogang. They didn't use their soul power and relied entirely on their own strength to beat him up.

But it is precisely because of this that every punch lands hard.

Flander stood aside without stopping her. He knew he couldn't stop her, nor did he have the right to. His eyes were unfocused as he stared blankly at Yu Xiaogang as she screamed and wailed.

After a while, Yu Xiaogang was beaten beyond recognition. Ma Hongjun and Oscar each spat on him before stopping.

"Alright, Dean Flander, quickly gather all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy here and announce Yu Xiaogang's disgraceful behavior. I also need to remove the side effects of the blood ginseng from this fat man," Lan Si said calmly.

"I understand," Flander replied listlessly. Half an incense stick later, everyone, including Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and Qin Ming, gathered on the playground.

In the presence of Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, and two titled Douluo, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's disgraceful acts were publicly announced.

Lan Si held a mirror crystal in her hand and recorded it.

Once everything had settled down, Ma Hongjun walked up to Lan Si with a sullen expression and said obsequiously, "Brother Tian, ​​we've done everything you said. Now... can I have the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King?"

"What 'Eternal Ginseng King'?" Lan Si feigned ignorance.

"Didn't you say you would relieve me of the side effects of the Blood Ginseng? Sect Master Ning, His Highness the Crown Prince, and the two Title Douluo seniors here can all testify to that," Ma Hongjun asked somewhat nervously.

"I said I would relieve your side effects, not that I would give you a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king. Besides... I don't even have a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king," Lan Si said calmly.

"Then how do you want to undo it?" Ma Hongjun asked, looking puzzled.

"Sit down." Lan Si pointed to the ground.

Ma Hongjun said "Oh," and although he didn't understand, he still sat down cross-legged in order to save his life.

"Sect Master Ning, Brother Xue, and the two Title Douluo seniors, I'll have to trouble you all to protect me. I don't care if we're interrupted, but this fat guy won't survive." Lan Si's gaze swept over the four of them one by one, a sly smile playing on his lips.

The four nodded slowly. Lan Si immediately sat down cross-legged next to Ma Hongjun, stretched out his right hand, activated the Supreme Qiankun Technique, and orange-red flames rose up. "Little Fatty, it might hurt a little. Bear with it. Once it stops, even a god can't save you."

"I understand." Ma Hongjun swallowed hard.

The next instant, Lan Si's hand, imbued with orange-red flames, slammed down on Ma Hongjun's back. Ma Hongjun groaned in pain, and suddenly let out a scream even louder than a pig being slaughtered, "Ah...!"

Ning Fengzhi, who was standing to the side, felt that Ma Hongjun was worth recruiting after the side effects of the blood ginseng were relieved. He released the Seven Treasures True Body to assist him, and Ma Hongjun's screams were much quieter.

Thus, half an hour passed amidst the raging flames, and Lan Si forcibly extracted the remaining medicinal power of the blood ginseng from Ma Hongjun's body.

To prevent Ma Hongjun from harboring any wicked intentions, Lan Si left a trace of the Supreme Divine Universe Technique's weak soul power within him before withdrawing the orange-red flames. Normally, this trace of soul power would remain dormant within Ma Hongjun's body, undetectable. However, when Lan Si decided to detonate it, it would burst forth from his body, transforming into orange-red flames, enough to take Ma Hongjun's life.

"This is the remaining medicinal power of the blood ginseng in your body. Do you still want it?" Lan Si handed over a ball of blood-red energy floating in his hand.

"No more... I'd rather die than eat any more herbs..." Ignoring the burns from the orange-red flames, Ma Hongjun hurriedly waved his hand.

"Alright, since that's the case, we should be going too." With that, Lan Si said goodbye to Ning Fengzhi and left with Qian Renxue.

Before leaving, Lan Si kicked a piece of gravel that struck Liu Erlong in the chest. Liu Erlong coughed violently before regaining his ability to move.

"Damn it, I'll kill you..." Liu Erlong wanted to step forward, but Flander grabbed him and turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master Ning, please help me see if Hongjun has recovered."

Ning Fengzhi turned his gaze to Sword Douluo, "Uncle Sword, take a look at him."

Sword Douluo nodded, walked to Ma Hongjun's side, and probed his body with his level 97 soul power. After a while, he slowly said, "It should be gone. His life force loss rate has returned to normal."

Because both the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique's soul power and Ma Hongjun's soul power belonged to the fire attribute, he did not discover any clues.

"Thank you." Upon hearing this, both Flander and Ma Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss Fu, are we just going to let Tang Ritian leave like this?" Liu Erlong picked up Yu Xiaogang, who had been beaten beyond recognition.

Flander didn't look at Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang. His gaze swept over Li Yusong, Shao Xin, Zhao Wuji and other Shrek elders. After a moment, he sighed and said, "Everyone, after this incident, I've come to terms with it. I failed in my duties as dean, which led to the decline of our once thriving academy. From today onwards, I've decided to resign from my position as dean of Shrek Academy."

"Boss Fu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Erlong asked, somewhat astonished.

"Second Sister, let me finish speaking first." Flander raised his hand, his back to Liu Erlong, and said calmly, "I have to give Xiao Ao and Hong Jun an explanation. I delayed them. If I hadn't been greedy for fame and fortune and brought them to Tiandou City, there wouldn't have been the Blood Ginseng incident, and their lifespan and talent wouldn't have been greatly reduced as a result. I have thought it through carefully."

He took all the responsibility upon himself.

“Dean, this is how that bastard Tang San took advantage of our trust to harm us. You don’t have to take all the blame.” Oscar said from the side.

“Yes, Xiao Ao is right, it’s all that damned Tang San’s fault,” Ma Hongjun chimed in.

“You don’t need to try to persuade me anymore.” Flander shook his head, his gaze sweeping over Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, Shao Xin, Lu Qibin and the others. “Old friends, thank you for your company along the way. I will be returning to Soto City now. Farewell.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, Shao Xin, and the others exchanged glances, looking down at each other, before finally focusing their gazes on Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji nodded slightly and said, "Flander, you underestimate us too much. Over the years, what storms haven't we weathered? Since you want to return to Soto City, then we'll accompany you. At worst, we'll start over."

"Add me to the list too," Qin Ming stepped forward.

“Qin Ming, kid…everyone…” Flander’s eyes reddened, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he couldn’t help but shed tears. He wiped away his tears and turned to Ma Hongjun, “Hongjun, what are your plans next?”

"I...I don't know." Ma Hongjun shook his head. He was the most indecisive person. He hated Tang Ritian and Tang San, but he was no match for them, and revenge was destined to be hopeless in this lifetime. But at the same time, he didn't want to go back to that small mountain village.

Just then, Ning Fengzhi extended an olive branch, "Hongjun, why don't you join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? You can stay with Xiao Ao and Rongrong in the future. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has declined, as long as Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, and you young people are here, we will definitely be able to make a comeback in the future."

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi winked at Oscar and Ning Rongrong.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong understood each other perfectly and extended an invitation to Ma Hongjun, "Yeah, Fatty, right now the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the most suitable for you. Otherwise, who knows when Tang San will kill you to silence you. That guy is capable of anything."

The Gene Era

Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest crossed Ma Hongjun's eyes, and he turned his gaze to Flander.

"Hongjun, you decide for yourself." Flander sighed softly, not interfering further. He took out a gold card from his storage soul tool, walked up to Liu Erlong, and, to her astonishment, placed it in her hand, saying, "Erlong, this is all the savings Shrek Academy currently has. You should rename it Blue Tyrant Academy. Shrek Academy is already disgraced. Here's a piece of advice: live out the rest of your life with Xiaogang and don't get involved in Tang San's affairs anymore."

After saying this, Flander turned and left. Qin Ming, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, Shao Xin, and Lu Qibin followed closely behind.

Shrek Academy thus came to an end.

The following day, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School moved out of Shrek Academy. At the same time, Dean Flander resigned, and it was confirmed that Yu Xiaogang and Tang San had used the Blood Ginseng to harm Shrek students. The Martial Soul Daily and Heaven Dou Daily vied for the headlines...

For the next few days, Lan Si did not leave the Crown Prince's residence. In addition to his daily cultivation, he spent time with Qian Renxue, who was pregnant, and guided the kittens and Ye Lingling in their cultivation.

Until one stormy night.

After Lan Si coaxed Qian Renxue to sleep, she went to the kitten's room.

After nearly eight years of dating, the two achieved a profound transformation. The kitten transformed from a young girl into a woman.

After the storm, Lan Si looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was less naive and more mature than yesterday, and gently placed his fair hand on her smooth hair, stroking it tenderly.

At this moment, the kitten slowly woke up, looked at Lan Si who was holding her, raised her head, rolled her eyes at her, gently tapped his chest with her jade hand, and said coquettishly, "Ah Si, aren't you afraid that Sister Xue'er will find out and cut you with her sword?"

"Isn't it because you're so charming, Zhu Qing? Besides, Xue'er has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She's already accepted you in her heart, but she's just too proud to admit it," Lan Si said with a gentle smile.

"Hmph, you're so glib." Hearing Lan Si's words, the kitten snorted softly, turned her back to Lan Si, and a satisfied smile appeared on her increasingly rosy face. No woman dislikes being praised for her beauty and charm, especially when the person is the man she likes.

Seeing the subtle curve of the kitten's smooth profile, Lan Si knew she was being disingenuous. She chuckled and hugged her from behind.

"Stop fooling around. We've been up all night... It's already dawn. If Sister Xue'er and Sister Lingling see us, we'll be so embarrassed."

"Don't worry, it's still early." As she spoke, Lan Si pounced on the kitten and began her morning exercise.

P.S.: I had something to do today, so I only wrote 5,000 words. Please vote for me and give me your monthly tickets.

Thank you to [Dark Star Emperor] for the 500 Qidian Coins reward.

Thank you to [Liuliu Liu] for the 1500 Qidian Coins reward.

Thank you to [Book Friend ***5970] for the 100 Qidian Coins reward.

Thank you to [Book Friend ***0153] for the 100 Qidian Coins reward.

Chapter 308 The Beginning of the Tang Clan's Disintegration (Part 2)

...The sun was high in the sky at the Crown Prince's residence.

"Finally, you've decided to get up." As soon as she stepped out of the kitten's room, Qian Renxue's voice echoed from the courtyard.

Lan Si looked up and saw Qian Renxue and Ye Lingling sitting in the courtyard enjoying breakfast.

"Um... well, Xue'er, Lingling, good morning!" Lan Si walked up to the two of them somewhat guiltily and sat down.

"It is quite early, the sun is already high in the sky. It seems that some guy sneaked into Zhuqing's room last night while I was asleep," Qian Renxue said calmly.

Seeing Lan Si's guilty and embarrassed state, Ye Lingling covered her red lips and chuckled, then served him a bowl of hot porridge.

Lan Si chuckled awkwardly, took the hot porridge, and lied without batting an eye: "It rained last night, and Zhu Qing has a habit of kicking off the covers. I was just worried she'd catch a cold."

"So you stayed there overnight so she wouldn't catch a cold?" Qian Renxue rolled her eyes.

"Ahem..." Lan Si coughed a few times guiltily, then changed the subject, "Lingling, I'll be going to Longxing City later. Xue'er is pregnant, so I'll have to ask you to take care of her. Also, please deliver breakfast to Zhuqing later."

"What are you going to Longxing City for?" Qian Renxue asked with a puzzled look. Ye Lingling also cast a curious glance at her.

Lan Si said, "The Yu clan's ancestral land is in Longxing City. The four major single-attribute sects will be gathering there soon. Tang San has set up some lousy Tang Sect, right? It seems he has already gained the support of the Power clan and wants to recruit the other three clans. I'll go and cause him some trouble, and retrieve something along the way."

"I knew you were up to no good." Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him, then took out a token with six different patterns from her soul tool. "Keep this papal decree. Not long ago, the blacksmith guild led by Lou Gao surrendered to the Spirit Hall. Gengxin City is not far from Longxing City. If you need anything, you can go directly to Lou Gao, the guild leader."

"Has the Blacksmiths' Association already sided with the Spirit Hall?" Lan Si asked, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as he accepted the Pope's decree.

Qian Renxue nodded slowly, “I joined a few years ago when we were cleaning up the parasites in the Gengxin City Martial Soul Branch Hall. My mother personally invited me. I don’t know why my mother values ​​those blacksmiths so much.”

Lan Si suddenly realized, thinking to himself, "It seems that Bibi Dong wants to use the Blacksmith Association to forge firearms in preparation for unification in the future."

...Longxing City.
