Chapter 259. Want a daughter? Trade your wife for her.
Qian Xunji said, "Seeing how cooperative Xiao Wu and A Yin are, get out of here and go back to your rat holes."
Tang Hao looked at A Yin in Qian Xunji's arms, who was unwilling but had to cooperate with him.
Tang San looked at the rabbit cage, where spring had arrived, all things were reviving, and it was time for...
Tang Hao's eyes were red, and he said breathlessly, "You thief, you villain, you traitor, you rebel, I, Tang Hao, will never let you go! A Yin, Yuehua, one day, I, Tang Hao, will save you!"
Tang San's eyes were red, and he said breathlessly, "You thief, you villain, you traitor, you rebel, I, Tang San, will never let you go! I will not let any of those who hurt Xiao Wu go! Mother, Aunt Yuehua, and Xiao Wu, one day, I will flatten the Spirit Hall and save you!"
Qian Xunji embraced Ah Yin and Tang Yuehua, stepping on the rabbit cage, and said, "You can say whatever you want now, but remember one thing: be grateful to Ah Yin and Xiao Wu. If it weren't for their sacrifice, would the Spirit Hall have let you leave here alive?" Hearing this, Tang Hao and Tang San let out a series of unwilling roars.
In the end, the father and son slunk away from the Papal Palace.
The end of the Soul Master Competition also marked the end of this turmoil. Flander watched Tang San's departing figure, sighed, and thought to himself: I wonder if the father and son can recover from this blow.
Turning back, Flander glanced at Liu Erlong with resentment, then said to the members of Shrek Academy, "Alright, we should leave too." "
With that, the Shrek Seven Devils set off towards the outside of the Papal Palace.
Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared in the passage leading to the outside of the Papal Palace, blocking Flander and the Shrek members' path.
"Elder Ghost, why are you stopping us?" Flander asked.
The ghostly figure said, "His Holiness the Pope said he would let Tang Hao and his son go, but he never said he would let you go."
Flander, Grandmaster, and the others turned to look at Qian Xunji, who was also looking at the Shrek group.
In the original story, the Shrek Seven Devils dared to act so arrogantly because the Spirit Hall supported them.
Think about it, Tang Hao took Tang San away, but the temple couldn't be hidden forever. Did Shrek Academy leave?
No.
But the Spirit Hall simply let them go. If this happened to Qian Xunji, he naturally wouldn't do that.
"Now, the Spirit Hall has every reason to believe that your Shrek Academy is colluding with spirit beasts and plotting something sinister." "Qian Xunji said.
Damn it—
The Shrek Three Heroes were utterly devastated. This Qian Xunji is inhuman! He's already tormented Tang San so much, and now he's tormenting us too!
The three heroes couldn't help but think of their past life when they caused a ruckus at the Spirit Hall. After Tang Hao took Tang San away, the gentle and beautiful Bibi Dong released them.
For a moment, Shrek once again missed the Pope Bibi Dong.
Ning Fengzhi was about to take action when someone was faster than him.
"Wait!" The representative of the Star Luo Empire quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Holiness, among the Shrek Seven Devils is the Second Prince of my Star Luo Empire. If anyone should be punished, it should be my Star Luo Empire."
"Qian Xunji said, "In my Spirit Hall, no matter your identity, if you commit a crime, you will be dealt with according to the laws of the Spirit Hall. Even if your Great Emperor Dai Tianfeng came, I would still punish you without hesitation, let alone a useless Second Prince."
"This..."
Qian Xunji avoided the gaze of the Star Luo representative and looked at Shrek Seven Devils.
"You can leave, but the Spirit Hall needs to leave one hostage. Choose one from the five of you."
Hostage?
The Shrek Seven Devils looked at each other. Ye Yang was thinking about who would become the hostage when he suddenly found three pairs of eyes fixed on him.
"Why are you looking at me?" A sense of unease flashed through Ye Yang's heart.
"Ye Yang, why don't you become the Spirit Hall's hostage?" "Dai Mubai said.
Ye Yang shook his head. Being a hostage, who knows if he can even get out of the Spirit Hall? The next few years are crucial for the Shrek Seven Devils. The Divine Exam, all sorts of opportunities, he wants to get a share of them, he doesn't want to be locked up in the Spirit Hall's cage.
"Ye Yang, if you don't become a hostage, who will? You're the most suitable one among the five of us." Oscar said.
Among the five, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun are brothers, Ning Rongrong is his woman, and Ye Yang is a complete anomaly!
"What do you mean?" Ye Yang said angrily.
Ma Hongjun smiled lewdly: "Ye Yang, I know you've always wanted to join the Shrek Seven Devils, right? But the Shrek Seven Devils aren't just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can join. Be more self-aware, become a hostage of the Spirit Hall, and we'll accept you as a member of our Shrek Seven Devils, how about it?"
Ye Yang said angrily: "What, you still don't consider me a member of the Shrek Seven Devils?"
"Ma Hongjun, don't forget who gave you the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and Dai Mubai, who gave you your Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Oscar, and your Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid?"
Dai Mubai said, "Ye Yang, stop flattering yourself. What does the matter of immortal items have to do with you?"
Ma Hongjun said, "My Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was given to me by Sangiegie."
Oscar said, "That's right, my Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid was given to me by Xiaosan. What does it have to do with you, Ye Yang?" "You guys... "
Ye Yang was so angry his lungs felt like they were going to explode. A passerby in the Douluo Continent livestream commented: "So Ye Yang, you're not a member of the Shrek Seven Devils after all."
Tian Yu laughed: "Haha, Ye Yang, don't you even understand the saying 'simps never get a good death'?"
Dark Despair added: "Yeah, the money you spent on immortal items and soul bones, wouldn't it have been better to spend it on yourself? Instead, you've been serving these bastards. They don't treat you well normally, but when it matters, they just want to push you out to take the blame. If it were me, I'd cripple these three idiots."
Even Ning Rongrong couldn't stand it anymore. She stepped forward, grabbed Ye Yang's hand, and said, "How can you treat Ye Yang like this? We're all members of the Shrek Seven Devils, how can Ye Yang not be?"
"Besides, although Tang San didn't say it, I know that Ye Yang gave these immortal items to Tang San first, and Tang San then passed them on to you. How can you say that Ye Yang has nothing to do with them?" "Ning Rongrong said.
Oscar was immediately jealous when he saw this scene. Ning Rongrong, after becoming his woman in the previous life, was so loyal and obedient to him. But now, after being reborn, the two of them have not yet confirmed any relationship.
Instead, Ning Rongrong stood up for another man, which made Oscar even more intolerant.
Ye Yang—it was all because of this variable, Ye Yang. If it weren't for him, Ning Rongrong would have already fallen for him.
Jealousy drives people mad, and Oscar disregarded everything else, stepping forward to Qian Xunji and saying, "Your Holiness, we have unanimously decided that Ye Yang will be the hostage. Please take him away."
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai immediately echoed Oscar, shouting towards the Spirit Hall, demanding that the Pope's Palace take Ye Yang away.
Hearing their shouts, Qian Xunji laughed, "Do I need you to decide who I take as a hostage?"
Qian Xunji pointed at Ning Rongrong and said, "Capture her for me."
Ghost Douluo hesitated for a moment, glancing at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School members, before replying, "Yes, Your Holiness."
With that, Ghost Douluo grabbed Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong—" Chen Xin couldn't sit still any longer. He gripped the Seven Kill Sword and flew towards Ghost Douluo. Suddenly, seven killing intents locked onto Chen Xin, and seven sword shadows descended from the sky, piercing deeply into the ground around him.
Chen Xin was firmly controlled within the cage constructed of sword energy.
This time, it wasn't Qian Xunji who made the move, but An Zhongdao, who had been watching Chen Xin.
After Chen Xin was captured, Ghost Douluo's actions became much easier.
Ning Rongrong was captured by Ghost Douluo and taken to the Spirit Hall.
"Rongrong, Rongrong, Rongrong—" Oscar wanted to stop them, but the thought of his own support-type spirit filled him with a sense of powerlessness.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, Ning Rongrong had lost her former mischievous charm. Her face was filled with fear. Seeing that no one from Shrek Academy came to her rescue, and then looking at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Chen Xin was trapped in a cage of sword energy, while her father, even though he was a Soul Saint, was only a support-type Soul Saint, she felt a chill run down her spine. She had become a prisoner herself.
"Rongrong, no! Rongrong!" Oscar rushed out and knelt down before Qian Xunji, saying, "Your Holiness, if you want to take hostages, please take me and release Rongrong."
After saying that, Oscar even kowtowed to Qian Xunji with great seriousness.
"I don't need you to choose the hostages I take," Qian Xunji said.
"Your Holiness, Rongrong is my daughter. Are you trying to make an enemy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by doing this?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo Chen Xin. Chen Xin was restrained, and he felt extremely insecure. However, thinking of his daughter being in the hands of the Spirit Hall and about to become a slave, he could only grit his teeth and speak up.
Yue Guan mocked, "Ning Fengzhi, don't you even consider the weight of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? What makes you think you can be an enemy of the Spirit Hall?"
Ghostly laughter: "Our Pope doesn't care."
"You—" Ning Fengzhi was furious.
Qian Xunji said, "Our Spirit Hall will conduct a thorough investigation into whether Shrek Academy colluded with spirit beasts. In the meantime, I will detain Ning Rongrong as a hostage of the Spirit Hall. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, if you want to fight, then fight."
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and said, "Your Holiness, what are your conditions for exchanging my daughter?"
Ning Fengzhi could not accept the outcome of Ning Rongrong being detained by the Spirit Hall, because Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the hope for the rise of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Qian Xunji chuckled wickedly, "Exchange isn't impossible, but it has to be with someone. What kind of person is your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School willing to exchange for a hostage from the Spirit Hall?"
Ning Fengzhi's face darkened upon hearing Qian Xunji's words. He said, "Then, you release Rongrong, and I'll be your Spirit Hall's hostage, how about that?"
Qian Xunji shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Sect Master Ning, I'm not interested in you, you old geezer."
"You—"
"Either you send this girl's mother to the Spirit Hall to replace her as a hostage, or the Spirit Hall will hold Ning Rongrong captive. She'll be released whenever the Spirit Hall discovers the truth about Shrek Academy's collusion with spirit beasts," Qian Xunji said.
"You—"
Ning Fengzhi finally understood what Qian Xunji wanted to do. He was being asked to exchange his wife for his daughter!
If his wife were to replace his daughter as a hostage from the Spirit Hall, given Qian Xunji's nature, he would definitely accept being cuckolded.
But his daughter said, "Sect Leader Ning, if you want your daughter to leave, this is my only condition. Go back and think it over carefully." Qian Xunji said, "Of course, you can also leave your daughter in the Spirit Hall as a hostage, but I can't guarantee that when the Spirit Hall releases her, she will still be the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"Sect Leader Ning, you don't want the future hope of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to suffer a little accident, do you? Hehehe."
"Qian Xunji—Qian the Thief—" Even Ning Fengzhi, with all his composure, couldn't sit still any longer.
But thinking that he was just a level 79 support-type Soul Master, he didn't have the strength to overturn the table, so he could only endure it helplessly.
"Sect Leader Ning, I'll be waiting for you to send your wife to my door in the Pope's Palace, hehehe." Qian Xunji grabbed Ning Rongrong and dragged her away. At this moment, Ning Fengzhi felt extremely humiliated.
Oscar knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
At this moment, two hands were placed on Oscar's shoulders.
Oscar turned his head and saw Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai standing beside him.
"Take it easy, brother," Dai Mubai said.
"We're all the same now," Ma Hongjun said helplessly.
"You, me, Xiao San, Fatty, we're all the same," Dai Mubai said.
Oscar then remembered that Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing were both serving Qian Xunji, Ning Rongrong had been captured by Qian Xunji, and Xiao Wu had been thrown into a rabbit cage. So, all of them, the Shrek F4, had been cuckolded by the Spirit Hall! Their beloved women had been kidnapped by the Spirit Hall.
"You despicable thief, the Shrek F4 will never forgive you!" Oscar roared.
Looking at the impotently furious Shrek F4, Flander couldn't help but recall the night Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong got married, and he deeply sympathized with the F4's anger.
"Little monsters, remember your hatred, cultivate diligently, and one day, take revenge on the Spirit Hall," Flander said earnestly.
"Teacher, do we have a chance to retaliate?" Ma Hongjun asked.
Flanders looked at F4, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but if you work hard, there will always be results."
This Soul Master Competition was a major blow to the Shrek Seven Devils. When they went up the mountain, they all held their heads high, but when they came down, they were as listless as a plate of pickled cucumbers.
