Soul Land: I Became the Pope from the Beginning

Chapter 123: Tiger Phoenix Intestine, Three Perverts Conspire Against Yu Xiaogang

With no other option, the Shrek Seven Devils could only reluctantly carry stones on their backs. No matter how unwilling they were, for the sake of staying at Shrek and participating in the Soul Master Competition later, they had no choice but to do so.

However, after graduating from Shrek Academy—hehe—if Yu Xiaogang could still open his stinky mouth, it would mean the three perverts of Shrek had gone easy on him.

Originally, they had held onto hope that Yu Xiaogang was just saying it, and that running a few dozen laps would be enough.

Hey! This Yu Xiaogang was serious; he truly wouldn't allow them to eat until they finished a hundred laps.

It was a scorching hot afternoon, and Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were resting in the shade, which infuriated the Shrek Seven Devils even more.

By evening, Yu Xiaogang finally led Liu Erlong to stand before everyone, still with his familiar zombie-like face, expressionlessly watching the exhausted Shrek Seven Devils from running.

His tone was somewhat disdainful, his expression contemptuous, as he loudly reprimanded, "Stopping and starting— a mere hundred laps! It's already been a day, and you've only run over seventy laps. You're simply wasting your talents."

Before he could finish his sentence, Yu Xiaogang felt a chill down his spine. He then saw Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, the three perverts, staring fixedly at him, feeling as if they'd gang up on him if he wasn't careful.

What do you want to do?

Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat guilty from being stared at. Lacking confidence, he moved to Liu Erlong's side; only then did he feel a bit safer.

"Grandmaster, it's easy for you to talk, isn't it?"

Dai Mubai looked at Yu Xiaogang with an unfriendly gaze, his eyes wishing he could slap this trash Yu Xiaogang—who spewed feces from his mouth—to death.

In his previous life, he had disliked this trash. He was constantly blabbering and had no effect whatsoever. He didn't even know what role this Yu Xiaogang played in Shrek.

The only time he went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to save Tang San, he couldn't even win. He heard it was still Tang San who appeared in time to save him. He was truly a hindrance. 

"Dai Mubai, I know you are of noble status, but this is the Heaven Dou Empire, and Shrek Academy is not a place for you to act wildly."

With Liu Erlong watching from behind, Yu Xiaogang's words became firm. He immediately reverted to his former calm and composed demeanor and reprimanded Dai Mubai.

"Aren't you a prince of the Star Luo Empire? I heard you fled without even the courage to face your elder brother. Now, the strength of the Shrek Seven Devils can give you another chance to contend with Dai Weisi. If you're unwilling, you can simply leave directly; I will not keep you."

Yu Xiaogang said confidently. He had already determined that Dai Mubai would not leave—after all, where would he go if he did?

When Dai Weisi ascends the throne, would he ask the Heaven Dou Empire for him?

After all, the Star Luo Empire would not allow its bloodline to flow out, and the Heaven Dou Empire would not keep Dai Mubai in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Therefore, Dai Mubai had only two outcomes: stay at Shrek Academy and fight for victory—defeating Dai Weisi—or leave to live a mediocre life, waiting for death, being called out by Heaven Dou Empire, encountering an Evil Soul Master attack on the way, and dying halfway.

Although Yu Xiaogang's theories were a mess, his ability to fathom people's hearts was truly considerable, and he had a whole set of tricks for deceiving people.

"Heh, my affairs are none of your business."

Dai Mubai had his raw nerve touched. His tone was unfriendly, and his face instantly darkened. Without Tang San and others' help, he indeed dared not face Dai Weisi.

It was like this in his previous life, and it was the same in this life. With his brain, if he had engaged in a battle of wits with Dai Weisi, he would probably have died long ago.

Only by following Tang San, becoming a god, and directly forcing a path open with his fists could he survive. Although in his previous life, when he became a god, he didn't want the throne.

That was because he no longer needed it. In this life, he wanted the throne, and he also wanted Zhu Zhuyun, because his Zhu Zhuqing was gone. Even if the root was gone, he could still make do; as long as there was still sensation, he wouldn't give up.

As for Dai Weisi, he should just rest in peace. The Dai Family only needed him. As for having no descendants or anything, he had already become a god. What did that have to do with him?

If he didn't die, the Dai Family's direct lineage would always exist.

"Then you are free to leave."

Seeing Dai Mubai's expression, a slight smile played on Yu Xiaogang's lips. No matter what genius or prodigy you were, in his eyes, you were all brainless idiots.

He only needed to instigate a few words, and they would become extremely anxious. After all, they were still young. He firmly believed that with his eloquent tongue, he could easily control the Shrek Seven Devils in his hands.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's demeanor, Dai Mubai instantly flew into a rage. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw that Yu Xiaogang had already stood behind Liu Erlong.

Helplessly, Dai Mubai could only forcefully suppress the anger in his heart, withdraw his outstretched hand, and continue running laps.

On the way, One-Eyed Fire Chicken Ma Hongjun suddenly walked over, winking and making gestures at Dai Mubai, who was still angry.

"What do you want, Fatty?"

He was already in a bad mood at the moment. Seeing Fatty's sly look, Dai Mubai said in an ill-tempered manner.

Ma Hongjun naturally knew Dai Mubai was angry and didn't mind. He chuckled and said somewhat sinisterly, "Boss Dai also finds Yu Xiaogang an eyesore, right?"

"What? You find Yu Xiaogang pleasing to the eye now?"

Dai Mubai raised an eyebrow, looking at Ma Hongjun with some surprise. "Good heavens, although your root is gone, how did your orientation change, too?"

"And you've taken a fancy to that poker-faced Yu Xiaogang? Is your taste that heavy?"

"Who would take a fancy to Yu Xiaogang? He looks like a street bum from the alley."

Ma Hongjun thought of Yu Xiaogang's face and the foul smell from last time, feeling a wave of nausea, and almost vomiting.

He stopped playing coy and said quietly, "No matter how much time Liu Erlong has, she can't always follow Yu Xiaogang. I heard that this trash, Yu Xiaogang, is still unwilling to share a room with Liu Erlong to this day. So, we'll take advantage of the night—hehehe."

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun let out a strange cackle.

"Indeed, but this Yu Xiaogang truly is trash. Now that a beauty is infatuated with him, he doesn't even think about taking her, and they still live in separate rooms. I even suspect he's a eunuch."

Dai Mubai also suddenly remembered that Yu Xiaogang didn't live with Liu Erlong, and if you wanted to enter his room, you had to knock beforehand, as if he had some secret.

Thinking of Yu Xiaogang's demeanor today, a spark of anger surged in Dai Mubai's heart. He said fiercely, "Alright, tomorrow night, we'll teach him a lesson."

Tonight was out. They were all exhausted. If they beat Yu Xiaogang now, wouldn't he get off easy? They must use their peak condition to properly teach Yu Xiaogang a lesson.

"When the time comes, we'll catch him with leverage, and we won't be afraid of him speaking out. Why don't we 'deal with' his little brother? Hehehe."

Ma Hongjun added that they had long known Yu Xiaogang valued his reputation extremely. Even if there was no leverage, they would create some for him.

"Good one, Fatty. I didn't expect you to have so many nasty ideas in your head."

Dai Mubai patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder and said admiringly, "How come I never noticed before that you had so much mischief inside you?"

"Hehe, when the time comes, we'll have Xiao Ao make some sausages too."

Fatty chuckled and said no more, but soon Yu Xiaogang's stern voice came from behind them.

"Whispering! You're still too relaxed. Add ten laps for all of you. No rest until you finish running them!"
