When Fu Qin kicked open the wooden door to the room, he saw the scene before him.
Ning Rongrong's roar almost overlapped with Zhu Zhuqing's struggles.
"Dai Mubai! Let her go!" The pale yellow figure rushed out instantly. Ning Rongrong gathered a faint halo of soul power in her hands, and the phantom of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda flashed behind her. She was obviously really angry.
Fu Qin and Xiao Wu followed closely behind, and as soon as they stepped into the room, they saw the chaos before them.
Dai Mubai gripped Zhu Zhuqing's wrist tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. The muscles beneath his white robes were taut, and his wicked eyes churned with obsessive intent. Where was the composure he had shown earlier?
Zhu Zhuqing's face was ashen, her cold and beautiful features were twisted together, her wrists were gripped until they were red, her purple clothes were disheveled as she struggled, and the fear in her eyes was like ice, making people's hearts tighten.
"Mind your own business!" Dai Mubai glanced at Ning Rongrong rushing over, a sneer curling at the corner of his lips, and a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing?
He is a war god who has been reborn from the realm of gods.
If they know what's good for them, he can still let them serve him, but if they don't... hmph!
They're all just a bunch of worthless dregs.
Before he finished speaking, he freed his left hand and, with powerful soul force, struck Ning Rongrong's face with a fierce palm strike, showing no mercy whatsoever.
"Watch out!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, trying to step forward to stop him, but it was too late.
Ning Rongrong's face turned pale. Although she was a support-type Great Soul Master, she was completely powerless to fight back against Dai Mubai's angry attack.
At this critical moment, Fu Qin flashed and appeared in front of Ning Rongrong as if he had teleported.
He didn't even activate his martial spirit; he simply clenched his fingers into a fist and fiercely clashed with Dai Mubai's palm.
"Bang!"
A deep, muffled bang shook the room windows, and the two powerful forces collided, sending dust flying everywhere.
Ning Rongrong was thrown back two steps by the blast wave, staring at Fu Qin's retreating figure with a pounding heart, still shaken.
She could clearly feel the terrifying fluctuation of soul power just now. If Fu Qin hadn't intervened in time, she would probably be seriously injured and lying on the ground by now.
Dai Mubai felt an overwhelming force coming from his palm, flowing up his arm and causing his blood and qi to surge.
That's right, this is a martial arts technique from the world of Under One Person, "Vajra Tongbi Fist".
Dai Mubai's pupils contracted sharply as he stared at Fu Qin in disbelief.
He was a level 37 Battle Soul Master, while Fu Qin was only level 34. How could he be at a disadvantage in a contest of pure physical strength?
Before he could react, his body was pushed backward by that enormous force, and he was pushed back three meters before he could barely regain his balance. The wooden planks under his feet were cracked.
As Dai Mubai retreated, his grip on Zhu Zhuqing loosened.
Zhu Zhuqing staggered backward, but was immediately protected by Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong on either side of her.
+
She covered her reddened wrist, and when she looked up at Fu Qin, her eyes held not only lingering fear but also gratitude and a strange emotion.
This seemingly indifferent young man always managed to protect her at crucial moments, and that sense of reliability stirred ripples in her frozen heart.
Fu Qin stood still, stretched his wrists, and maintained his calm and composed expression.
His gaze swept over the three people in the room, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
Dai Mubai and Oscar have clearly awakened their memories, and Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were their wives in their previous lives, so why would Dai Mubai treat Zhu Zhuqing in such a brutal way?
Oscar stood aside, watching Ning Rongrong nearly get injured. His eyes showed no concern whatsoever, but rather a hypocritical indifference, as if it were none of his business.
This scene is utterly absurd. How could the God of War and the God of Food from their past lives look like this?
Fu Qin found it increasingly strange, but he didn't care.
With three god-level buffs and his combat power far exceeding that of his peers, he is capable of handling any unexpected situation in Shrek Academy.
Just then, a series of prompts suddenly popped up on the system panel:
【The "Fate Begins and Ends" buff is in effect; Zhu Zhuqing's favorability +20, currently at 50】
【Dai Mubai's favorability -50, currently -30】
Fu Qin raised an eyebrow. It was expected that Zhu Zhuqing's favorability would increase, after all, he had just saved her.
Dai Mubai's negative favorability rating is clearly due to resentment stemming from the earlier conflict.
But the next second, the text on the panel changed again.
【The "IQ-lowering aura" is taking effect; Dai Mubai believes that "Fu Qin only acted because he saw Zhu Zhuqing in danger, not intentionally."】
【Dai Mubai's favorability +50, currently +20】
Fu Qin's lips twitched. This "idiocy-lowering halo" was just too outrageous.
Dai Mubai clearly intended to kill just now, but now he's acting like he's doing a good deed? Has this guy's brain been clouded by memories of his past life?
Before he could even process this absurd change, a new notification popped up:
【Detected that Dai Mubai still harbors immense malice towards the host; the divine luck buff is taking effect...】
Dai Mubai believes that "Fu Qin's actions just now were simply to avoid creating any rift between him and Zhu Zhuqing."
【Dai Mubai's favorability +50, current favorability +70】
Seeing the favorability rating on the panel instantly soar to 70, Fu Qin was completely stunned, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud in his heart.
Dai Mubai is such a brainless mad dog. One second he hates me to the bone, and the next second he's overflowing with affection for me because of the buff.
With his heart finally at ease, Fu Qin glanced at Dai Mubai beside him.
The fierce look on Dai Mubai's face had vanished, replaced by an expression of sudden realization. His eyes were full of "understanding" and "gratitude" as he looked at Fu Qin, as if he truly believed that Fu Qin's actions just now were for his own good.
"Brother Fu Qin, thank you for what happened earlier." Dai Mubai cupped his hands in thanks, his tone so sincere it was almost unbelievable, completely forgetting that the two of them had just fought.
"I was too excited and almost hurt Zhuqing, but luckily you stopped me in time."
Fu Qin: "..."
He really didn't know how to respond to this absurd turn of events, so he could only chuckle awkwardly and say, "It was nothing."
Ning Rongrong watched in disbelief. Just moments ago, Dai Mubai wanted to kill her, but how did he suddenly become sworn brothers with Fu Qin?
This change happened so fast! She tugged at Fu Qin's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Fu Qin, has he been knocked silly?"
Fu Qin patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to ask any more questions.
Some things are too complicated to explain, so it's better to let nature take its course.
Zhu Zhuqing leaned against Xiao Wu's chest, her brows furrowed as she watched the bizarre scene unfold before her.
Dai Mubai's change made her even more uneasy, while Fu Qin's calm and composed demeanor gave her a strange sense of security.
As she watched Fu Qin's retreating figure, her affection for him quietly increased.
Xiao Wu stood to the side, taking in everything, her brows furrowed.
