Chapter 110 Ma Hongjun's Fear! Lu Ming's Tyranny! Saving the Shui Bing'er Sisters!
"So it's Captain Lu."
Dugu Yan quickly dismissed her doubts and revealed a bright smile.
"There have been a lot of rumors about Blue Tyrant Academy in Tiandou City lately. Everyone says you are the favorites to win the Tiandou division of this year's Soul Master Competition."
"For these two arrogant girls to willingly call him captain, Captain Lu must have some extraordinary abilities, right?"
Lu Ming smiled slightly, his tone calm:
"You flatter me; it's all just empty fame."
The group chatted idly on the bridge for a while, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
Ning Rongrong, thinking about that box of pastries, tugged at Zhu Zhuqing's sleeve:
"Zhuqing, let's go buy some pastries, they'll be sold out if we wait any longer."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said to Lu Ming:
"Then wait for us here. There are too many people over there, so we won't go over there."
"Go ahead." Lu Ming waved his hand.
The two women ran hand in hand toward the shop.
At this moment, only Lu Ming, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling remained on the overpass.
Ye Lingling was aloof and simply stood quietly to the side, watching the lanterns on the river.
Dugu Yan, however, was a restless soul. She moved closer to Lu Ming, her green eyes fixed on his, as if trying to see through his soul.
"Captain Lu, if I may ask, have we... met somewhere before?"
That sense of familiarity grew stronger and stronger.
It wasn't a matter of physical familiarity, but rather an indescribable and inexplicable quality.
He even resembles that... Lu Tiandi from the group?
The moment the thought popped into her head, Dugu Yan nipped it in the bud.
How could that be?
What kind of person is Lu Tiandi? He is a powerful figure who can casually take out a soul bone and know the secrets of the world.
Although the young man in front of her had an extraordinary demeanor, he looked several years younger than her. How could he possibly be the big shot who commanded influence in the group?
Lu Ming saw the probing look in Dugu Yan's eyes and understood everything perfectly, but he didn't show it on his face.
He shook his head and calmly said:
"Miss Dugu is too kind. I am new here and have not had the honor of meeting you."
Dugu Yan pouted in disappointment:
"Really? Then I might have mistaken you for someone else."
Just then, a noisy argument suddenly broke out in the alley not far from the bridge.
"Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, are you feeling unwell? You both look terrible. Should I take you back to the academy?"
Although the voice was deliberately lowered and carried a hint of feigned concern, Lu Ming still recognized it immediately.
Dai Mubai.
Immediately following was the lewd voice of that fat bastard Ma Hongjun:
"Yes, yes, ladies, it's not safe to be out so late at night. Our Boss Dai is a gentleman, he will definitely get you there safely."
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
Shui Bing'er? Shui Yue'er?
What are those two sisters from Tianshui College doing here?
And judging from the noise, something seems wrong.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had obviously heard the commotion below. They exchanged a glance and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Something seems to have happened down there?" Ye Lingling said softly.
Lu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
It's those two scumbags, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, again.
It seems the previous lessons weren't profound enough; they actually dare to go out and prey on innocent young girls again.
"Miss Dugu, Miss Ye, I need to use the restroom."
Lu Ming turned around, made up an excuse, and walked towards the bridge.
Dugu Yan watched Lu Ming's departing figure, feeling somewhat bewildered.
"What's wrong with this person? He was fine just now, why does he suddenly need to go to the toilet?"
"Maybe they're really in a hurry," Ye Lingling replied casually.
...
Under the bridge, in a dimly lit alley.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Shui Bing'er leaned against the cold wall, breathing rapidly. Her face, which was originally as cold and clear as snow, was now flushed with an eerie red.
She bit her lip hard, trying to stay awake with the pain.
In her arms, her younger sister Shuiyue'er was in an even worse condition.
Shui Yue'er's eyes were glazed over, and she murmured unconsciously. Her hands moved uncontrollably over Shui Bing'er's body, and she was like a fish out of water, yearning for some kind of comfort.
"It's hot... Sister, I'm so hot..."
Shuiyue'er's voice was choked with sobs, and her burning body temperature could be clearly felt even through her clothes.
Shui Bing'er was terrified.
They only drank two glasses of juice by the roadside, how did it suddenly turn into this?
This isn't an illness at all, it's poisoning!
Moreover, it was an extremely vile and despicable drug!
Shui Bing'er suppressed the restlessness within her body, mobilized all her soul power, and a chill surged from her palm, continuously flowing into Shui Yue'er's body.
Stimulated by the biting cold, Shui Yue'er regained a little of her senses, but she was still trembling all over and in great pain.
"You two, are you really not needed any help?"
Dai Mubai stood a few steps away, a gentle smile on his face, but a greedy glint shone in his eyes.
Looking at the two sisters in their current state, the flames in his heart burned even brighter.
The medication has already taken effect.
This is a secret medicine concocted by Tang San; no one can withstand it.
"roll!"
Shui Bing'er squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth, her eyes piercing Dai Mubai like knives.
Although she didn't know who had drugged her, she was certain that these two men were up to no good by appearing here at this time.
"Hey, beautiful, don't be so fierce."
Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together and approached with a lewd expression.
"We just meant well. Look how badly your sister is suffering. Let us help her, hehehe..."
Looking at Ma Hongjun's disgusting fat face, Shui Bing'er felt a wave of nausea wash over her.
Just then, a mocking voice suddenly came from the alley entrance.
"Hey, isn't this Shrek Academy's 'talent'?"
"What, instead of reflecting on your actions in the middle of the night, you're out here playing the good Samaritan?"
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun turned around abruptly.
At the alley entrance, a figure appeared out of nowhere.
The man was dressed in ordinary black clothes, and wore a comical little Superman mask on his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.
Although I couldn't see the face clearly, the figure, the tone of voice...
Ma Hongjun's entire body of fat trembled violently, his face instantly turning deathly pale. He pointed at the man and cried out in a trembling voice:
"It's...it's you!"
"Ma Hongjun, who is this person?" Dai Mubai frowned, looking at the newcomer warily.
Ma Hongjun swallowed hard, his voice filled with barely concealed fear:
"Boss Dai, it's this kid... he's the one who turned me into a eunuch!"
What?!
Dai Mubai's pupils suddenly contracted.
That mysterious person who supposedly crippled Ma Hongjun with a single move and beat Teacher Zhao Wuji black and blue?
He subconsciously took half a step back, a sense of retreat rising in his heart.
Even Zhao Wuji was no match for this person, so what could a Soul Venerable do?
