After the match, the seven members of the Kuangzhan Team immediately turned their anger toward Kuang Xi. "Kuang Xi, if you hadn't brought that Blue Silver Entanglement to us and given us false information, we definitely wouldn't have lost today!"
Kuang Xi immediately became defensive. "What do you mean 'false information'?" he said. "That Blue Silver Entanglement was tricked, that's all. Tell me, wasn't that Sunny Happy Big Boy's Spirit Ability useless?"
The Spider Woman glared at Kuang Xi. "My hair all fell out, and you're telling me his Spirit Ability is useless?"
Kuang Xi rolled his eyes. "What does your hair falling out have to do with his Spirit Ability? Whose good Spirit Ability makes hair fall out?"
With that one sentence, the Spider Woman was speechless. It was outrageous!
"As for the Evil Eyes White Tiger, the Soft Bones Demon Rabbit, and the Hell Civet, those three points? That's just Blue Silver Entanglement being tricked," Kuang Xi said, slapping his thigh. "Anyway, Tang San's fine! He's my loyal fan. He even gave us ten cans of fish. Where else can you find a fan like that?"
He tried to cheer them up. "Don't be sad, everyone. It's just a loss. We'll win it back next time. Let's go back and eat some canned fish to cheer up."
At the thought of canned fish, the other six people smiled. It was a delicacy that couldn't be bought with money. If they sold it outside, someone might even pay ten gold coins for a single can.
Just as the seven of them were about to happily change their mood, someone burped loudly. A terrible stench filled the air.
"Ugh!"
Instantly, the seven people's moods worsened.
"You still say it's not Tang San's fault!"
"No matter what, Tang San's fine!"
On the other side, Ye Yin and his team, having won the competition, quickly left the Great Spirit Arena after meeting up with Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Oscar. When no one was paying attention, the eight people finally took off their masks.
"That was exciting! It was truly too exciting!" Oscar shouted excitedly. "We Shrek Eight Monsters are awesome! We easily defeated the renowned Kuangzhan Team."
Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes. "Little Ao," he said, "you weren't even in the match. What does it have to do with you?"
Oscar snorted. "Don't worry about whether I had a role or not," he said. "The point is that we're amazing."
Flender's expression was a bit grim. He had secretly bet one hundred gold coins on the Shrek Eight Monsters to win. The result was that the Shrek Eight Monsters won, and he earned a lot of gold coins. But the thought of it made him even more upset because he could have bet even more money. He had a philosophy that any money not earned was a loss. The thought of losing several hundred gold coins made him feel so bad he couldn't even eat dinner.
That night, Dai Mubai treated everyone to a celebration, and they all had a good feast, with Flender eating the most.
In the days that followed, the Shrek Eight Monsters continued their daily team matches. Ning Rongrong, Ye Yin, and Oscar took turns participating. However, when Ye Yin was not present, they would lose nine times out of ten. That's because, among the seven people, there were only three Spirit Elders, so the strength gap was too large. But if Ye Yin was on the field, cultivation alone couldn't be the only factor.
"Xiao Wu, stay in your room. Don't come out, okay?" Ye Yin instructed her.
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Yin with her pink eyes, her small mouth pouting, filled with grievance and resentment. "Ah, Yin Ge, why is this happening? Every time you make me do this, you never tell me why. After the match, we go back to the hotel, and you don't let me leave my room. Except for the first meal we ate together, you even bring me food for all the others. It's been almost half a month. I'm going crazy from being cooped up!"
Ye Yin gently hugged Xiao Wu. "I can't tell you the specific reason," he said. "Once the commotion dies down, I'll definitely let you out. Just trust me. Here's your late-night snack." He handed her a plate. "Charcoal-grilled carrots."
After giving Xiao Wu her late-night snack, Ye Yin left her room. As soon as he stepped out, he felt an extremely strong oppressive force coming towards him. The pressure felt as if it wanted to suffocate a person. It was definitely not a level Ye Yin could contend with at the moment.
At this moment, Xiao Wu, who was in her room, trembled violently. The charcoal-grilled carrot she had just bitten into dropped onto the bed with a thud. She shivered on the bed, her aura contained within her, not daring to reveal even a trace of it.
A Titled Douluo!
There was the aura of a Titled Douluo outside!
Ye Yin stiffly turned to look to the side. There were two men. One was refined and gentle, while the other radiated an intense sword energy. Their identities were obvious: Sect Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Sword Douluo Chenxin! The two of them had come to see what Ye Yin was truly like, so they had deliberately launched a surprise attack.
Ye Yin bowed to Ning Fengzhi. "Father-in-law, please accept your son-in-law's bow!" After bowing to Ning Fengzhi, Ye Yin then bowed to Chen Xin. "Grandpa Sword, please accept your grandson-in-law's bow!"
With those two sentences, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were stunned. This wasn't how the script was supposed to go!
[Resentment from Ning Fengzhi +55!]
[Resentment from Chen Xin +55!]
Ning Fengzhi coughed. "Uncle Sword, please retract your aura."
Chen Xin nodded, and the heavy atmosphere around them instantly vanished. He hadn't even used his Spirit, yet he could achieve all of this with just his Spirit power aura.
Ning Fengzhi was a little curious. "You know us?"
Ye Yin shook his head. "No."
[Resentment from Ning Fengzhi +55!]
Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched. "Then why did you open your mouth and call me 'Father-in-law'? Who is your 'Father-in-law'?"
Ye Yin chuckled. "Of course, it's you! I was just asking tentatively, but Father-in-law, you thought I recognized your identities, and then you admitted it. So now I've completely confirmed it!"
[Resentment from Ning Fengzhi +55!]
"Don't call me 'Father-in-law'! I am not your 'Father-in-law'!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes rolled back in exasperation. "How did you and Rongrong meet? Tell me everything."
Ye Yin coughed. "Actually, there's no need to say much about that," he said. "The main point is that Rongrong and I have already had a premarital affair."
[Resentment from Ning Fengzhi +56!]
"Tell me, what makes you worthy of Rongrong?" Ning Fengzhi asked, his voice strained. "Many princes and nobles aren't worthy of marrying my Rongrong."
"Rongrong and I have already had a premarital affair."
[Resentment from Ning Fengzhi +57!]
"Rongrong and I have already had a premarital affair."
