Chapter 40: The Mouse Has Skin, but the Man Has No Manners (Part 1)

Xu Sanshi forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and the outrageous scene of the four-ring six-winged angel beating the six-ring evil fire phoenix flashed in his mind.

"Big... Big brother, is there a possibility that this is actually a misunderstanding?"

"Death is imminent" he tried to save himself.

"Really."

Ling Bai calmly snatched the grilled fish from the guy's hand and handed it to Han Ruoruo. After throwing a gold soul coin to Huo Yuhao, he looked at Xu Sanshi leisurely:

"I'll give you three sentences to quibble. You'd better pray that you can convince me, otherwise we will settle all the new and old grudges together. Whatever soul skill Ma Xiaotao eats from me, your anus will be eaten again."

Ling Bai felt itchy when he thought of Xu Sanshi's earth-shattering and ghost-wrenching crying in the middle of the night. If he hadn't disturbed his rest, he wouldn't have had to fight with Ma Xiaotao all night.

Xu Sanshi, one of the twin stars of the outer courtyard, was like a little chicken, being grabbed by the back of his clothes by the red inner courtyard students who looked younger than him and lifted him up in the air, even threatening the chrysanthemums to bloom.

The surrounding Shrek outer courtyard students looked at each other and kept silent, as obedient as quails, not to mention talking too much. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that Ling Bai's free left hand would strangle the back of their necks.

As another victim of the incident, seeing Xu Sanshi's embarrassment, Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a hint of anger. Although Xu Sanshi paid ten times the price, this act of robbing with strength aroused his anger. No matter why Ling Bai took action, Huo Yuhao was sincerely grateful to him.

Han Ruoruo ate the grilled fish in small bites, with a smile in her slightly drooping eyes. She knew that Ling Bai knew what was going on and that his actions were definitely careful. At the same time, she was also happy that Ling Bai would teach Xu Sanshi a lesson to completely prevent him from doing such bad things in the future.

Xu Sanshi was stunned when he heard this, and then blurted out: "Ah? Just three sentences?"

"Two sentences now."

Ling Bai smiled and touched Xu Sanshi's head. His extremely kind and friendly smile fell into Xu Sanshi's eyes, but there was a kind of fear that his chrysanthemum was aching.

"Brother, I was wrong!"

Under the crisis, Xu Sanshi had an unprecedented brainstorm. Since he cut in line and robbed Ling Bai's grilled fish, if he continued to be stubborn, he would only get a broken chrysanthemum and a full buttocks injury, so he decisively admitted his mistake first.

"I know."

Ling Bai's face and tone were neither sad nor happy, and Xu Sanshi could not guess his psychological activities at all.

The CPU of his brain was burning wildly. Xu Sanshi knew that the next sentence was the last chance. If he could not impress Ling Bai, Wanren Huiguang would help him to keep his big account unimpeded forever!

"Brother, I..."

Facing Ling Bai's deep gaze, Xu Sanshi's voice trembled and he could hardly speak. In a flash, a flash of inspiration came to him!

"I'll compensate you!"

"Oh? What for?"

Feeling like there was a chance, Xu Sanshi's hand slipped through the storage soul guide on his waist, and he took out a crystal clear white jade bottle, smiling flatteringly:

"Brother, this is the Xuanshui Pill, a unique elixir of our Xuanming Sect. That night and today were all my fault. This little thought is my little compensation!"

Ling Bai popped open the stopper of the jade bottle, and inside lay a cherry-sized dark blue pill quietly. There were many white textures crisscrossing on the surface. A layer of light mist was diffused around the pill, and a fragrance with a bit of freshness floated out, refreshing the heart.

"The thing is good, and the matter between the two of us is written off."

Finding that the strength in Ling Bai's hand began to relax, Xu Sanshi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Before he could be happy for a few seconds, Ling Bai suddenly changed the subject:

"But you disturbed my senior sister's mood, alas..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Ling Bai showed a touch of embarrassment at the right time.

"Senior sister?!"

Xu Sanshi glanced at Han Ruoruo who was concentrating on tasting Xiao Huo's grilled fish. His facial muscles twitched quietly, and he gritted his teeth and offered another Xuanshui Pill with both hands.

"It's a waste."

After extorting two Xuanshui Pills, Ling Bai smiled with satisfaction. Not only did he put Xu Sanshi down, but he also patted the dust off his shoulders very considerately.

"Oh my, how can I afford it!"

Xu Sanshi was able to bend and stretch, showing his true manliness. On the surface, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled flatteringly: "That night, big brother saved me from the water and fire. Two Xuanshui Pills are not worth mentioning. Big brother and senior sister, take care!"

In fact, he secretly complained in his heart: It's my bad luck, spending money to avoid disaster!

"Then you should compensate me with a few Xuanshui Pills for bullying my junior brother/disciple!"

Ling Bai and Han Ruoruo were about to leave when two angry voices suddenly joined in. A man and a woman pushed through the crowd and walked out. Both of them had cold and angry faces. They were Beibei and Tang Ya.

Beibei said straight to the point: "Xu Sanshi, you bullied my junior brother, you must give me an explanation!"

Xu Sanshi frowned and pointed at Huo Yuhao and said: "Is this kid from your Tang Sect?"

"My new disciple!"

Tang Ya always protected her shortcomings and sneered: "Xu Sanshi, you can do such a shameless thing to rob in broad daylight!"

"I paid!" Xu Sanshi retorted.

Beibei sneered and said: "Stop talking nonsense, bring a Xuanshui Pill, or we can go to the fighting arena to decide the winner!"

Xu Sanshi pouted: "Let's go!"

Having seen Ling Bai's terror, he was forced to give in. Beibei and he are known as the twin stars of the outer courtyard. He is definitely not afraid of Beibei, the blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!

After speaking, Xu Sanshi came to Jiang Nannan, who had been silent all the time. All his expressions turned into gentleness like water, and said: "Nannan, I'm going to the fighting spirit arena with Beibei. Can you cheer me on?"

"Why?"

Jiang Nannan took a step back. Her cold tone could almost freeze people into ice sculptures. Xu Sanshi continued to put his face on the cold buttocks and leaned over to say aggrievedly:

"I did it all for you, Nannan! I bought grilled fish and was cheated of two Xuanshui pills. Then I had a bloody fight with Beibei. Nannan, can you bear it?"

"You deserve it. Don't bother me!"

Jiang Nannan didn't appreciate it at all. She tossed her long hair and left Xu Sanshi with a graceful back.

"Nannan, no!!!"

Xu Sanshi yelled to the sky, as if snowflakes were falling from the sky.

"You are so dramatic, hurry up!"

Beibei grabbed Xu Sanshi and dragged him to the fighting spirit field.

In the back, Tang Ya took Huo Yuhao to thank Ling Bai: "Ling Bai, if you and senior sister hadn't upheld justice today, Yuhao's grilled fish would have been snatched away by Xu Sanshi!"

Huo Yuhao twisted his hands tightly together and stammered: "Thank... Thank you, Ling... Brother Ling."

He has always been wary of Ling Bai, and he deliberately avoided Ling Bai on the way to Shrek Academy. He didn't expect Ling Bai to be willing to help him in times of crisis.

Ling Bai and Han Ruoruo smiled at each other and said calmly: "It's just a small matter, no need to be polite. Follow them and go see their fighting spirits."
