Tang San bent over to let Xiao Wu climb onto his back. As soon as he straightened up, the weight felt like a thousand pounds. His legs shook instantly, and his vision went black.
"Thud!"
He fell flat on his face, and Xiao Wu was thrown to the side.
"San-ge!" Xiao Wu cried out, but she wasn't very worried; instead, she seemed to be watching a show.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with contempt.
Ning Rongrong giggled, covering her mouth, and whispered to Zhu Zhuqing, "Look at him. He wants to carry someone but doesn't know his own limits."
Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly and didn't speak, but the disdain in her eyes said it all.
Tang San saw stars from the fall, and his lip was cut. He struggled to get up but found his whole body weak, lacking even the strength to lift a hand. He could only lie pathetically on the ground, filled with regret.
If he had known, he shouldn't have gone to the brothel in a moment of confusion last night. Now, not only had he lost face in front of Xiao Wu, but he didn't even have the strength to carry her.
Xiao Wu sighed with feigned helplessness, turned to look at Fu Qin, a flash of cunning in her eyes, and gave him a playful wink. The meaning was clear: "Come carry me."
Fu Qin understood. He stepped forward, helped Xiao Wu up, and brushed the dust off her skirt.
"Sister Xiao Wu, are you okay?" he asked softly, his tone full of doting.
"I'm fine, my legs are just a bit weak." Xiao Wu leaned into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck, her voice soft and sweet. "Fu Qin, you should carry me. Your San-ge... seems a bit indisposed."
Fu Qin bent down, letting Xiao Wu climb on his back, and supported her thighs with his hands.
The warm touch through the clothes made his heart flutter.
Xiao Wu's arms were around his neck, her cheek pressed against his ear. Her warm breath made his ear itch, carrying a sweet fragrance.
"Fu Qin, you're so strong."
"Of course, otherwise how could I take care of you?" Fu Qin lowered his head and whispered in her ear, his voice husky with a hint of ambiguity.
Xiao Wu's face instantly turned red. She pinched him coquettishly but couldn't help pressing closer, a happy smile on her lips.
She knew Fu Qin truly cared for her, unlike Tang San, who only said nice things but did disappointing ones.
Reborn into this life, she would never foolishly revolve around Tang San again. She would grasp the happiness before her, grow stronger with Fu Qin, and stay with him until the end.
Ning Rongrong followed behind, looking at Fu Qin's back as he carried Xiao Wu, her eyes full of envy.
She also wanted to be carried gently by Fu Qin, to feel his broad shoulders and strong arms. But Xiao Wu had beaten her to it. She could only stomp her foot secretly, wondering when Fu Qin would treat her the same way.
Zhu Zhuqing walked at the very back. Looking at the intimate pair, her eyes remained calm, but her pace quickened.
To her, getting stronger was the most important thing. Romance was never within her consideration.
Seeing this, Tang San felt incredibly stifled.
Fu Qin noticed the resentment in Tang San's eyes and calmly carried Xiao Wu over to him.
"San-ge, although control system Spirit Masters don't need a great physique, you should still exercise more."
Hearing Fu Qin's caring words, Tang San only felt bitterness in his heart.
"I..."
But before Tang San could speak, Fu Qin looked ahead.
"San-ge, let's hurry. We can't fall behind."
With that said.
He carried Xiao Wu and ran forward. After all, that old fellow Flender had already started running. If they were any later, he and Xiao Wu wouldn't be able to keep up.
Seeing this, Tang San also hurriedly scrambled up from the ground.
Watching Fu Qin carry Xiao Wu, instead of feeling resentment toward Fu Qin, he felt a sense of admiration.
As Fu Qin ran, his heart fluttered.
Xiao Wu pressed her cheek against the side of Fu Qin's face, her little tongue occasionally touching his earlobe.
Fu Qin sighed inwardly at the sight.
Women were indeed like wine; the more you tasted, the more mellow and fragrant they became. Even if you already possessed them, they still left you wanting more.
Evening.
A rest stop on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Stir-fried vegetables and braised beef on the table were steaming, their aroma filling the air.
Fu Qin sat by the window, holding a freshly peeled shrimp between his fingers and offering it to Xiao Wu's mouth. "Eat slowly, Sister Xiao Wu, no one is competing with you."
Xiao Wu opened her mouth and took the shrimp, her cheeks bulging, but her eyes held a deep, inseparable tenderness.
She wore a pale pink dress, her skin as white as jade under the light. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly. After her rebirth, she had shed the ignorance of her past life and gained a touch of maturity and charm.
When she looked at Fu Qin, her almond eyes were moist and lively. "Fu Qin, this braised beef is delicious, you should try some too."
She picked up a large piece of beef with her chopsticks and carefully brought it to Fu Qin's mouth, her movements intimate and natural.
Fu Qin bit into it, the rich aroma of the beef melting on his tongue, warming his heart even more.
Beside them, Ning Rongrong watched enviously. She pouted and intentionally offered a pastry to Fu Qin, her voice sweet: "Brother Fu Qin~~, this Osmanthus cake of mine is also very delicious. Do you want to try mine?"
Ning Rongrong's watery almond eyes blinked with a hint of playfulness. The softness of her chest swayed slightly with her movements, making it particularly eye-catching.
Fu Qin chuckled helplessly and took a small bite of the pastry. The sweet but not greasy scent of osmanthus filled his mouth. "Delicious."
He praised her and conveniently served a portion of green vegetables to Ning Rongrong. "Eating only sweets isn't good; eat more vegetables."
Ning Rongrong's cheeks flushed slightly, and she obediently ate them, a sweet smile gracing her lips.
Sitting opposite them, Zhu Zhuqing was still dressed in purple. Her cold and elegant features looked even more exquisite under the light. She cut the steak on her plate by herself, her movements brisk, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Only the occasional glance at the three of them carried a trace of undetectable curiosity.
In another corner of the rest stop, the atmosphere was already tense.
Ma Hongjun stared at the female students from Canghui Academy with a lewd gaze, his foul language pouring out like a barrage: "Tsk tsk, this figure is even better than the girls in the brothel."
Oscar chimed in from the side, playing with a Sausage in his hand, laughing mischievously: "Little Ao's Passion Sausage, want to try? Guaranteed to leave you wanting more."
Although Dai Mubai didn't speak, the greed in his evil eyes couldn't be hidden. He clearly approved of their words and actions.
The female students of Canghui Academy turned red with anger, gritting their teeth. However, because the others were Shrek students, they didn't dare to lash out yet.
"Watch your mouth!" A middle-aged man in green robes stood up. It was Ye Zhiqiu, the leading teacher of Canghui Academy.
His spirit power at the Spirit King level was fully displayed.
"Is this how Shrek Academy teaches its students?"
Ma Hongjun stuck his neck out, looking arrogant: "So what? We're telling the truth! Those who don't dare to cause trouble are mediocre. If you have the ability, try laying a hand on us!"
