The Strange Shrek Seven Monsters

Chapter 21 The Bizarre Shrek Seven Devils

Yu Tianheng felt a little awkward about not being able to address Mo Xuewei as "Your Highness".

He was a little confused about what the Crown Prince was thinking, why he was hiding his identity from Xu Qianye, and why he was still inquiring about Gongyang Shao's situation.

Could it be that the royal family has taken a liking to Gongyang Shao?

Yu Tianheng thought to himself.

However, it's not surprising that Gongyang Shao entered the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy with the approval of his superiors. If the royal family didn't want to recruit him, they wouldn't have allowed him to enter.

Since Yu Tianheng had said that, Mo Xuewei could only wait for Gongyang Shao to wake up before asking for more details.

Since she didn't know when Gongyang Shao would wake up, and she, as the "Crown Prince," had other matters to attend to, she left first.

She left a guard here to watch over Gongyang Shao, to prevent anyone from doing anything bad, and also to keep an eye on him so that she could notify Mo Xuewei or Qian Renxue as soon as he woke up.

After seeing off these two kind people, Xu Qianye returned to the ward and asked Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng about Mo Xuewei's condition.

Since Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng knew that older brother, they should also know his true identity. Xu Qianye wasn't stupid; she knew that Mo Xuewei's identity was not simple. However, she didn't think of him as a prince. When she questioned Dugu Yan, Dugu Yan didn't say anything explicitly, only that the other party was a person of very noble status.

After leaving the hospital, Mo Xuewei and Qian Renxue returned to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

In the East Palace,

Mo Xuewei dismissed the patrolling guards, and she and Qian Renxue returned to the Crown Prince's palace.

Their trip was quite fruitful.

Qian Renxue said, "Your judgment is truly excellent. Gongyang Shao is a rather outstanding chess piece."

If it weren't for learning about Gongyang Shao's martial soul, Qian Renxue would almost have really believed that Mo Xuewei had taken a liking to that kid.

She seemed to be in a better mood than when she was in the hospital.

Mo Xuewei was also surprised that Gongyang Shao would possess such a martial soul. However, this at least shocked Qian Renxue, and she probably wouldn't hold today's events against her.

Mo Xuewei replied, "He is indeed a good pawn, but Gongyang Shao's martial soul makes me feel that Tang San's intention to kill him is not just because he wants to seize that soul tool. I have a feeling for no reason that what happened to Gongyang Shao this time may not really be something that Tang San wanted to do alone."

"You mean there are accomplices?" Qian Renxue asked. "Besides Tang San, is there someone else who wants to kill him?"

Mo Xuewei nodded and answered very seriously, "Yes."

She continued, "However, these are just my guesses. I'm not sure if my thoughts are correct. It's possible that Tang San just wants to eliminate the threat completely."

"."

Qian Renxue didn't speak, but these things could be found out by investigating in secret.

I'm going out for a bit.

Shrek Academy

Tang San and his group returned victorious, having obtained the soul tool they had longed for. Tang San seemed to be in an extremely good mood.

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Beside Tang San, a bouncy "little rabbit" smiled and praised him. Her name was Xiao Wu, Tang San's adopted younger sister, and she was always inseparable from Tang San.

"That Gongyang Shao is truly ungrateful. He's clearly a support-type Soul Master, yet he's so arrogant, even daring to boast about a one-on-one fight. He deserves what he's become!"

As Xiao Wu said this, she stepped forward and took Tang San's arm. She looked at Tang San with a smile, her eyes full of love.

Tang San also doted on her, patting her head and saying, "Xiao Wu, she was just being brave, don't say that."

Xiao Wu huffed and puffed, "Brother, you're so kind!" "Haha."

"."

Tang San and Xiao Wu's interaction was very sweet, and the rest of Shrek Academy followed behind them. However, a hint of resentment seemed to rise from the brown-haired girl following behind them.

"Rongrong, what's wrong?"

Oscar, who had been by the girl's side the whole time, noticed that something was wrong with her mood and couldn't help but ask her for help.

The girl's name was Ning Rongrong. She was beautiful and the type Oscar liked. He had been pursuing her, but she hadn't accepted his advances.

Ning Rongrong concealed the resentment in her eyes and replied calmly, "It's nothing."

Oscar was perceptive; he knew Ning Rongrong wasn't acting like nothing was wrong, but he didn't understand why she was in this mood. However, his heart was always with Ning Rongrong, and whenever she was unhappy, he would try to cheer her up. "Rongrong, do you want to go shopping? I can go shopping with you now!"

"No need, I'm not interested," Ning Rongrong replied indifferently.

From the moment they met until now, Ning Rongrong has always seemed so aloof, and it is precisely because of this that Oscar is so captivated by her; this side of Ning Rongrong is even more attractive to him.

"Rongrong, don't be upset. If you really can't stand it, you can hit me and take it out on me!"

"..."

Oscar's ingratiating behavior was no different from a sycophant in everyone's eyes, but Dai Mubai and the others didn't say anything because he was their companion.

However, this is also due to Ning Rongrong's skillful methods; otherwise, how could she have managed to coax Oscar into being like a lapdog?

As an outsider, Dai Mubai knew all too well.

But he couldn't be bothered with those two. He had kindly reminded Oscar before, and they almost fell out. From then on, he stopped caring about Oscar and let him do whatever he wanted. In the end, he wouldn't be the one to suffer.

The group returned to the academy and trained for a while longer. As the sun set, a sudden cry of distress echoed from the school gate—

"Ah—Sister Xiaowu! Third Brother! Boss Dai! Someone's bullying Fatty me—ah—"

"..."

"Fatty?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu exchanged a glance with Tang San, and then the group headed to the school gate together.

"Fatty, what's wrong with you!"

It was Xiao Wu who spoke. When they arrived at the school gate, they saw Ma Hongjun with a bruised and swollen face, and several bruises and red marks on his body.

"Fatty!"

Tang San and Dai Mubai immediately went to check on Ma Hongjun, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Ma Hongjun was alright.

Dai Mubai frowned and asked, "Fatty, what happened? Who did this?"

"How could it be so serious?"

As they asked, Oscar made a few sausages and handed them to Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun only came to his senses after eating Oscar's sausage. He looked at Tang San and Dai Mubai, tears welling up in his eyes, "Boss Dai, Third Brother, it's that woman! It's that woman again! She framed me for stealing her things and then beat me up!"

Ma Hongjun burst into tears, "She even asked me to tell you, Third Brother, that your things were stolen too!"

The character designs for all the Shrek Seven Devils have been changed here; "some of them" are not the original characters.
