"ah--!!!"
The piercing screams, like those of a pig being slaughtered, shattered the tranquility of the inn.
Oscar lay sprawled on the floor of Ning Rongrong's room, his body writhing and twisting, his hands clutching his blood-stained groin.
The blood seeping from between his fingers stained the ground, forming a glaring scarlet pool.
His face was contorted in pain, cold sweat mixed with tears streamed down his forehead, and his lips were bitten until they turned purple. He was clearly in extreme pain and couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
Upon seeing this, Fu Qin immediately reached out and covered Ning Rongrong's eyes, his tone urgent and concerned.
"Rongrong, it's all blood, don't look."
He gently held Ning Rongrong in his arms, preventing her from seeing the bloody and disheveled scene before him, but a cold scrutiny and amusement flashed in his eyes as he looked at Oscar.
He had just been thinking about how he hadn't had a chance to deal with Oscar, that spineless coward, and now the other party had just given him that opportunity.
Ning Rongrong pretended to be trembling with fear from Oscar's screams and the smell of blood on his body.
At this moment, a hint of cunning appeared in her eyes as she obediently leaned against Fu Qin's chest, her eyes tightly closed, her voice trembling with tears.
"Fu Qin, is he...is he alright?"
"I...I shouldn't die, right?"
Fu Qin spoke hesitantly, perfectly portraying a look of shock and worry.
Oscar's screams were so horrific that they alerted the entire dormitory building in a short time.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and others who were cultivating in their room rushed over following the sound. When they discovered that the screams were coming from Ning Rongrong's room, they were all stunned.
"Oh no!" Tang San's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed that something was wrong.
He subconsciously assumed that something had happened to Ning Rongrong, and without thinking, he kicked the door open.
The door was kicked open with a bang, and the scene that greeted everyone's eyes froze them in place:
Fu Qin was holding Ning Rongrong tightly, covering her eyes with one hand, his face full of anxiety and helplessness.
On the floor, Oscar was curled up in a ball, his hands tightly covering his groin. Blood soaked through his clothes, his face contorted in pain and rage, and he continued to let out piercing screams.
"What... what's going on?" Dai Mubai frowned, his tone tinged with impatience.
He already loathed Oscar for pushing him out to take the fall and losing a kidney in the process, so seeing him like this now filled him with nothing but disgust and no sympathy.
Ma Hongjun even curled his lip, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in his eyes.
He had been tricked by Oscar back then, losing half of his manhood and suffering from a lifelong ailment. Now, seeing Oscar get his comeuppance, he felt a sense of great satisfaction.
Tang San strode into the room, his gaze sweeping across the scene before finally settling on Fu Qin, his tone questioning.
"Fu Qin, what exactly happened? How did Oscar end up like this?"
Fu Qin immediately released his hand from Ning Rongrong's eyes, his face showing a mixture of surprise and grievance, and explained urgently.
"Third Brother, please listen to my explanation, I really didn't mean it."
"Rongrong said she couldn't sleep at night, so she dragged me to chat on the balcony. Suddenly Oscar appeared at the window, and I thought he was up to no good, so I instinctively threw my flying sword. This... Third Brother, I really didn't mean to, I..."
As he spoke, he looked annoyed and stepped forward to help Oscar up.
He maintained an innocent and flustered appearance, perfectly preserving his "kind and righteous" good brother persona.
Ning Rongrong quickly echoed.
"Yes, none of us saw it was him. Fu Qin only acted to protect me. It was truly an accident!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed a look of understanding.
After all, Fu Qin's strength is obvious to all, so his quick reaction is normal. Moreover, it is suspicious that Oscar ran to Ning Rongrong's room window in the middle of the night.
In addition, Fu Qin was usually righteous and treated his brothers and those around him very well, so everyone naturally believed what he said.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Fu Qin made a move." Tang San nodded, a look of understanding on his face.
"Oscar is really something, what was he doing running to the girl's room window in the middle of the night? No wonder he was misunderstood."
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun nodded repeatedly, clearly having no objection to this explanation.
Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side, not saying a word, but her gaze towards Fu Qin showed no doubt, only a hint of indifference towards Oscar.
But just then, Oscar on the floor suddenly stopped wailing and abruptly raised his head.
His face was covered in blood and tears, and his eyes were filled with extreme resentment and madness as he roared at Fu Qin.
"An accident?! Fu Qin, you're talking nonsense! You did it on purpose! You just wanted to ruin me!"
His voice was hoarse and broken, filled with endless hatred and humiliation.
"You know I like Rongrong, you're just jealous of me! You deliberately used your flying sword to cut off my...my..."
At this point, he could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood, his emotions completely collapsing.
"Oscar, how could you think of me like that!"
Fu Qin immediately frowned, a hurt expression appearing on his face.
"I consider you a brother, how could I intentionally harm you? If you hadn't suddenly appeared on the balcony, why would I have attacked you?"
“Whether it’s you, Third Brother, Mu Bai, or Hong Jun, I’ve always considered you all my best brothers. And if you also like Rongrong, you can just say so and we can compete fairly. How could I possibly recognize you when you sneaked into Rongrong’s room late at night when it was so dark outside?”
Oscar's outburst instantly created an awkward atmosphere.
Fu Qin's words warmed the hearts of Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai.
Putting everything else aside, Fu Qin treated them really well.
Just then, Flander and Yu Xiaogang arrived after hearing the news.
Hearing Oscar's roar and seeing Fu Qin's aggrieved look, and recalling Oscar's stubbornness and pettiness during the Devil's Path Trial, Flander's face instantly darkened.
He was already dissatisfied with Oscar for dragging him down, and now seeing him not only running to the girl's room window in the middle of the night, but also turning around and slandering Fu Qin, his disappointment reached its peak.
"Oscar! Shut up!" Flander shouted sternly.
"Breaking into a girl's room window in the middle of the night is wrong of you!"
"Fu Qin acted to protect Rongrong, how can you slander your own friend whom you spend every day with? I think you're just driven by jealousy, and you don't even know how to repent for what you did wrong!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded and said in a serious tone.
“Oscar, your mentality is seriously flawed. As a member of Shrek Academy, you not only lack team spirit, but you also take your personal feelings out on others and even slander your fellow members. This is not the behavior of a qualified Soul Master.”
