"Really?"
"If nothing happened between the two of you, then why did Ma Xiaotao change her underwear?"
"What you're saying is hard to believe."
"It's not like I haven't seen Ma Xiaotao when her evil fire acted up before."
"There were whimpering sounds, but that was all."
Xi Xi's ambiguous gaze darted back and forth between Shen Fan and Ma Xiaotao.
"Xi Xi."
"That's enough, are you looking for a beating?"
Seeing that Xi Xi was endless and insisted on prying into her embarrassing matters, Ma Xiaotao angrily shook her fist.
"Why are you so agitated?"
"If you don't want to say it, then don't."
Xi Xi looked pitiful and wronged.
"Shen Fan, don't mind her."
Ma Xiaotao directly ignored the feigning Xi Xi.
Shen Fan just smiled at this, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the school bell ring throughout Shrek Academy.
"Oh."
"School's out."
"Your Jiang Nannan is coming."
"Do we need to step aside?"
Ma Xiaotao had a playful look on her face.
"Uh."
"No need."
"Jiang Nannan and I are just teaming up to go to the Great Spirit Arena for spirit battles, we're not going out on a date."
Shen Fan said with a wry smile.
"Oh."
"So it's teaming up for spirit battles."
Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow, then continued, "But why go to the Great Spirit Arena outside for spirit battles?"
"It takes about half an hour just to walk there, wouldn't it be better to just have spirit battles in the academy's spirit battle zone?"
After speaking, she pointed in the direction of the academy's spirit battle zone.
"I'm not a student of Shrek Academy. It's fine to bully a student of the academy once in a while, but if it happens too often, I estimate the academy will have an opinion."
Shen Fan didn't think that the decision-makers of Shrek Academy would let an outsider like him stir up trouble in the academy.
"You're really quite confident."
"But you shouldn't underestimate Shrek Academy too much."
"You know, Shrek is known as the number one academy on the Douluo Continent, and it's not an undeserved reputation. It's through winning every Elite Competition for ten thousand years that everyone, including those on the Sun Moon Continent, has gradually recognized this status."
"Don't think that the students in the outer court are all mediocre. In fact, the true core of Shrek is in the inner court, and only inner court students can truly represent the strength of Shrek Academy."
Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at Shen Fan, then somewhat discontentedly rambled on and on.
Hearing this, Shen Fan didn't feel that Ma Xiaotao's reaction was wrong. Instead, he felt that the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower wasn't given in vain. At least it directly turned Ma Xiaotao, who considered Shrek Academy her home, from a state of being about to explode into a state of being indebted.
"Why aren't you speaking? Why are you just staring at me like that?"
"Did I say something wrong?"
After speaking, seeing that Shen Fan was still staring at her without a word, Ma Xiaotao also stared back at Shen Fan, unwilling to show weakness.
For a moment, the two staring at each other made Ling Luochen and Xi Xi, who were beside them, feel like they were a giant light bulb.
And as time passed, just as Ling Luochen and Xi Xi were about to leave, a burst of voices finally interrupted the unconcerned staring contest between Shen Fan and Ma Xiaotao.
Then, the figures of Jiang Nannan and Huo Yuhao's group appeared at the turn a dozen steps away.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Jiang Nannan quickly walked a few steps to Shen Fan's front and said gently.
"No."
"I just arrived not long ago too."
Of course, Shen Fan wouldn't be foolish enough to say something inappropriate that would dampen the mood.
"Uncle Shen."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao, who was a few steps behind, also came to Shen Fan's front and respectfully called out. When he saw the fat rabbit in Shen Fan's arms, he couldn't help but curiously continue, "Uncle Shen, what's going on with this Soft Bones Rabbit in your arms?"
"Could it be that you caught it to barbecue tonight?"
"There are so many of us, one Soft Bones Rabbit probably isn't enough for everyone, right?"
"How about I go buy some more now?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a chill surrounding him. He looked around in confusion but found nothing.
Douluo Two Ning Rongrong in the Livestream: "Good, good, good."
"Xiao Wu's original son-in-law is truly impressive."
Douluo One Shui Yue'er in the Livestream: "Does this count as me guessing half of it?"
"Heheheh."
Douluo One and Douluo Er Xiao Wu in the Livestream: "…"
Douluo Two Huo Yun'er in the Livestream: "I'm sorry, everyone."
"Yuhao didn't mean it."
"Please forgive him."
Huo Yun'er could only keep apologizing in the livestream.
"You fellow."
"This is my pet rabbit."
"It's not for eating."
On the other side, Shen Fan was also stunned by Huo Yuhao's words. When he came back to his senses, he immediately gave Huo Yuhao a light tap on the head.
"Huh?"
"I'm sorry, Uncle Shen."
"I didn't see this rabbit yesterday, so I thought you specifically went out to catch it today."
Huo Yuhao covered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Never mind."
"No blame for the ignorant."
Shen Fan waved his hand and then said, "Jiang Nannan and I are going to the Great Spirit Arena. Who's coming?"
To Shen Fan's surprise, as soon as his words fell, everyone present unanimously expressed their desire to go. Even Ma Xiaotao, whom Shen Fan thought would return to seclusion to refine the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower after Jiang Nannan and the others arrived, also grabbed Ling Luochen and Xi Xi's hands, indicating that she and the two of them would also go.
Seeing this, Shen Fan didn't say much. He led the group to a carriage shop near the academy and, without a word, directly paid in full for the most luxurious large soul-guided carriage, heading straight for the Great Spirit Arena in Shrek City.
Soon, what would have originally been about a half-hour walk was covered in less than five minutes, reaching their destination.
"Shen Fan."
"That receptionist at the carriage shop was giving you suggestive looks just now."
"Why didn't you show any interest at all?"
After getting off the carriage, Ma Xiaotao started rambling again.
"Interest?"
"She likes my gold coins, not me as a person."
"What interest should I show?"
Shen Fan rolled his eyes.
"If you had bargained for this carriage, you could have gotten it for at least half price."
"You just bought it without even asking the price."
"No wonder that receptionist wanted to hook up with you."
Jiang Nannan still felt that Shen Fan had suffered a great loss.
"No choice, I'm naturally bad at bargaining."
Shen Fan wasn't lying about this. In his original World, he never asked for prices or bargained when buying things. If he felt something was too expensive, he simply wouldn't go to that shop next time.
"How about this, I'll hire you as my assistant. Whenever I need to buy something, you can help me buy it."
"Your salary will be based on the gold coins you save me each month, and I'll give you half of it as compensation."
"This way I save money, and you earn money."
"It's a complete win-win situation."
"How about it?"
Shen Fan joked.
"This."
A hint of temptation flashed in Jiang Nannan's eyes. She was truly afraid of being poor.
