Chapter 81: Silly Dai Mubai, Xu Ran is Really Angry This Time_1

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiaowu returned to their dormitory to find Xu Ran leaning against a big tree outside, with a stalk of Blue Silver Grass in his mouth, exuding a carefree demeanor.

Today, when Zhu Qing requested to stay with Xiaowu, Xu Ran had made an agreement that he certainly wouldn't miss. After all, Zhu Qing had postponed several times already, and he naturally wouldn't allow her to keep pushing it off. Otherwise, what would become of him?

As her fiancé, he did need to be considerate of the girl's physical strength and condition, but there were times when he needed to be firm.

"Xu Ran, what are you doing here?" Xiaowu asked in surprise upon seeing Xu Ran standing at the door to their dormitory.

"I need to deal with some matters with Zhu Qing, after which I'll bring her back to you tomorrow morning," Xu Ran said, glancing at Zhu Zhuqing who was holding hands with Xiaowu, revealing a peculiar smile.

"Oh," Xiaowu nodded understandingly, looking at Zhu Zhuqing and Xu Ran, instantly grasping what Xu Ran meant. She hadn't expected that Zhu Qing's relationship with Xu Ran had already progressed to that extent. Zhu Qing was even a few months younger than her.

Along with her surprise, a sense of loss involuntarily filled her heart. Zhu Qing was already Xu Ran's fiancée, and now that they had taken their relationship to a physical level, no doubt, Zhu Qing had become the most important woman in Xu Ran's eyes.

This made her nervously wonder; now that Xu Ran had been so intimate with Zhu Qing, when would he come back to find her? And if he did come for her, should she agree? Xiaowu's mind began to wander with wild thoughts.

"You…" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xu Ran with a mixture of shyness and annoyance, hating that she couldn't burrow into a hole and hide as he spoke so shamelessly. Xiaowu was right there, and Xu Ran could still utter such suggestive words.

"Then go ahead and attend to your matters with Zhu Qing," Xiaowu said, pushing the nearby Zhu Zhuqing toward Xu Ran before walking towards her room alone. At that moment, she felt a bit heartbroken. It made sense, though; although she and Xu Ran had some mutual affection, the relationship between her and Xu Ran naturally wasn't as intimate as that between Zhu Zhuqing and Xu Ran.

Zhu Zhuqing watched Xiaowu walk back to her room, then lightly kicked Xu Ran.

"You... Now you've let Xiaowu know about us," Zhu Zhuqing said with a blush of shame. In her view, such matters were extremely embarrassing, and she felt uneasy knowing that someone else, even Xiaowu, knew about them.

"What's there to fear? She's not an outsider," Xu Ran said with a laugh; how else would he stir up Xiaowu's emotions? Otherwise, how long would it take for him to completely win over Xiaowu?

It was only a matter of weeks before Tang San and Brock would arrive at Shrek Academy, and Tang Hao, that bastard, might come by then, which could present some trouble.

If he didn't win over Xiaowu, he feared there might be complications. After all, Xiaowu was the female lead of Soul Land, and by bringing her into his "Harem" he would gain many Skill Points. With Skill Points, he could become stronger and resist Tang Hao.

However, he thought about it and realized he still needed to spend Skill Points to see if he could draw anything worthwhile; otherwise, he really wouldn't have any way to deal with Tang Hao. The Ten Thousand Years Qilin Experience Card had already been used up.

These thoughts flashed through Xu Ran's mind, but he shrugged them off. With a beautiful woman in his arms, he wasn't supposed to think of anything else.

Xu Ran scooped Zhu Zhuqing into a princess carry and headed towards his own dormitory.

...

Not long after Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing left, Dai Mubai arrived. He had made his inquiries clear; Zhu Zhuqing was supposed to be staying with Xiaowu.

In his hands he held a bouquet of flowers, with ninety-nine roses in the center.

"Xu Ran, oh Xu Ran, just you wait until Zhu Qing and I completely resolve our past grievances, then I'll show you how it's done. When Zhu Qing uses Soul Fusion Skill with me every day, I'll definitely make you jealous," Dai Mubai said, standing at the door to Xiaowu's dorm, calling out Zhu Zhuqing's name.

He kept a distance of more than three meters from the dorm. He now certainly didn't dare to offend Xiaowu. With Xu Ran being so powerful, he wouldn't give Xu Ran any reason to strike him. After all, Xu Ran must be quite dissatisfied with him by now, and given a proper reason, Xu Ran would definitely give him a thrashing.

Dai Mubai had been calling out for a while at the door before Xiaowu, annoyed, opened it.

"Dai Mubai, are you asking for death?" Xiaowu said angrily, hands on her hips.

"I'm here to look for Zhu Qing." Dai Mubai said, hiding the fresh flowers behind his back.

"Zhu Qing isn't here," Xiaowu said with disgust, and promptly shut the door on him.

"Zhu Qing isn't here?" Dai Mubai looked at Xiaowu's expression and seemed to believe she wasn't lying. He glanced around at the pitch-dark surroundings; this was the dorm area. Aside from their and Oscar's dorm, there was only one other room with its lights on.

"So I was mistaken." Dai Mubai touched his nose, a bit embarrassed, but more than that, excited. He had originally thought Zhu Qing was sharing a room with Xiaowu—that with Xiaowu's disdain for him, wouldn't she constantly badmouth him to Zhu Qing? If Zhu Qing was living in a room by herself, that would be better.

At this moment, Dai Mubai, agitated, failed to recognize a problem. With only one additional room lit up in the dorm area and Xiaowu's room occupied solely by her, didn't that mean two people were missing?

Where had Xu Ran gone?

The clueless Dai Mubai had no idea that at this very moment Xu Ran was engaged in delightful activities with his beloved Zhu Qing.

In Xu Ran's dorm, he was holding Zhu Zhuqing and kissing her passionately, about to make a move when Dai Mubai's voice came from outside the door.

"Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing, are you there?" Dai Mubai's voice was incredibly loud as he stood outside with a smile on his face. He knew Xu Ran was also staying in one of the dorm rooms in this area.

He was practically shouting to let Xu Ran know that he, Dai Mubai, Zhu Qing's fiancé, had come looking for her on this dark night.

Such a night, with such a voice penetrating the silence, was enough to keep Xu Ran awake all night.

Zhu Qing had always been cool, even downright icy, towards him. But Xu Ran didn't know this—such loud calls were sure to fuel Xu Ran's wild imagination. Once Xu Ran began to entertain various thoughts about this call, Dai Mubai's goal would've been achieved.

He just wanted to see Xu Ran choke with jealousy, to see that helpless look on Xu Ran's face about wanting to punch him but being unable to. His engagement with Zhu Qing was a hurdle Xu Ran would never be able to get over.

Upon hearing Dai Mubai's voice, Xu Ran was stunned,

so was Zhu Qing.

"This fucking idiot." Xu Ran cursed under his breath, really wishing he could go outside with a sword and kill this damned Dai Mubai. It was sheer heartlessness, dammit, he was almost there, and then Dai Mubai had to pull this stunt?

"Ignore that idiot." Xu Ran whispered, looking at the beauty beneath him and kissing her once again.

Yet Dai Mubai's voice continued to filter in, still loudly calling out Zhu Qing's name.

Not receiving a response in the room didn't bother him; after all, Zhu Qing had always been cold to him and very displeased with him, so it was normal for her not to answer.

But Xu Ran was furious. Damn it, how can I get anything done with you constantly yelling outside?
