Chapter 23: Degradation
“Pah, shameless!” Zhu Zhuqing’s little face was flushed red. This guy was really too shameless!
“What do you mean shameless? I’m speaking the facts, okay! Let go of me first, be obedient…”
Soul Power had recovered a bit. Ling Mo was thinking about how to escape. For now, the only plan was to yield temporarily and wait for Soul Power to recover. He would definitely make this girl know what the dangers of society were like.
“Let go? Wishful thinking! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Are you trying to slip away?”
“No!”
He denied it outright. How could Ling Mo admit it? If he did, it wouldn’t be him.
“I don’t care if you are or not. This time, I won’t let you run away so easily…”
“What exactly do you want to do?”
Ling Mo was about to cry. What did this girl want? To be honest, for a big man to have his destiny’s throat gripped like this was too much of a failure.
“What do I want? I want to beat you up…”
After saying that, a series of miserable screams rang out in the forest—hysterical wails that startled the forest under the night sky.
“Damn, don’t hit the face…”
“Dead girl, you dare ruin my handsome face. I’ll fight you to the death…”
Amid a barrage of punches, Ling Mo fought back fiercely. With just a bit of Soul Power recovered, he immediately used Gravity Field, instantly pressing a strong gravitational force onto Zhu Zhuqing’s body.
In that instant, Zhu Zhuqing’s body sank, nearly collapsing to the ground. Ling Mo rose up angrily and pounced back fiercely.
“Dead girl, I’ll fight you to the death…”
“What do you want to do?”
Now it was Zhu Zhuqing’s turn to break down. Ling Mo, who had no combat power just moments ago, suddenly went berserk and pinned her directly to the ground.
“What do I want? Hehe, little lady, now it’s my turn…”
An evil smile gradually grew unrestrained. Ling Mo pressed down on her body, about to commit that indecent act.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly activated Martial Soul Possession, instantly slapping him flying.
“Damn!”
A miserable scream rang out again. What goes around comes around. At this moment, the last trace of Soul Power in Ling Mo’s body was completely depleted once more.
Gravity Field failed. Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly as she got up from the ground, continuously clenching her little fist.
“Sister, spare me. I know I was wrong…”
He admitted defeat. Right now, the only thing he could do was admit defeat! Running was impossible.
“Now you know you were wrong? Weren’t you very stubborn just now? Come on, continue your sleazy deeds. I’m standing right here. Come on…”
A rare smile from Zhu Zhuqing made her perfect figure even more alluring under the moonlight, but Ling Mo had no mood to appreciate it now.
If nothing unexpected happened, three seconds later, his handsome face would completely turn into a pig’s head.
“Don’t hit the face, ah…”
With a soul-stirring cry, under the night sky, birds in the mountain forest scattered in flight, startled away by this sudden shout.
One miserable scream after another finally put a period to this beautiful moonlight.
When the sky turned fish-belly white once more and the sun slowly rose, in the mountain forest, a girl in black clothes held a rope in her hand.
At the other end of the rope was tied a bruised and swollen man. That’s right… this tragic man was Ling Mo.
“Damn, wait until I recover my Soul Power. See how I deal with you…”
He was unwilling in every way in his heart, but Ling Mo was powerless to break free and had completely become Zhu Zhuqing’s puppet.
“What are you muttering behind me? Are you thinking of something bad again?”
Zhu Zhuqing sensed something off and turned back with a chill in her eyes, scaring Ling Mo so much that he shrank his neck, his soul nearly flying away.
This girl really hit hard, targeting vital spots. She nearly made Ling Mo unable to have offspring.
“No! I was just thinking that being with a beauty like you, even if imprisoned for life, I’d be willing…”
The Bearman Clan feared nothing. Even imprisoned, Ling Mo couldn’t change his flowery-talking nature.
Sure enough, with such stimulating words, Zhu Zhuqing’s face turned red.
She spat grumpily: “Pah, shameless! Who wants to stay with you?”
“Then… if you don’t want to, you can let me go. We’ll meet again since green mountains never change and green waters flow forever…”
After saying that, Ling Mo tried to walk away, but Zhu Zhuqing yanked hard and pulled him back.
“Want to leave? Not that easy. You dared to take advantage of me. Until I figure out how to get revenge, you’d better drop those ideas…”
This guy was very good at coaxing. Zhu Zhuqing had never seen anyone so good at it. Just this one night, she had almost been coaxed hundreds of times by him.
To be safe, it was best to block his mouth. This night, she had finally summed up experience in dealing with Ling Mo.
To subdue him, hit the mouth first! Make him unable to speak. That was the best way.
Sure enough, Zhu Zhuqing pulled out a piece of cloth from somewhere and stuffed it directly into Ling Mo’s mouth.
“You’d better behave. Maybe if I’m in a good mood later, I’ll let you go!”
Zhu Zhuqing warned. At this time… the sky was fully bright. It was the day of Shrek Academy enrollment. They should make it if they hurried over from here.
“Sister, where are you going?”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind again. Zhu Zhuqing was stunned and found that Ling Mo could still speak.
What a joke, could a piece of cloth really block his mouth from speaking? He’d watched too much TV…
Though his speech was unclear, it was still audible.
“Shrek Academy…”
Zhu Zhuqing replied coldly, then pulled Ling Mo toward Shrek Academy.
Hearing it was Shrek Academy, Ling Mo’s heart sank halfway.
Good grief. He had offended about half of Shrek Academy’s students. Going there would be asking for a beating, right?
Moreover, he had no Soul Power now. Going there would just be asking for abuse.
“Can we not go? I heard Shrek is full of sleazy big men with a bad reputation…”
Ling Mo started coaxing again, but Zhu Zhuqing was unmoved and only said: “That’s perfect. I can toss you to those sleazy big men to deal with you! To vent the resentment in my heart…”
Ling Mo was thoroughly desperate. It seemed Shrek Academy was unavoidable. Prepare to face the new storm.
Not to mention Old Ghost Flander, just Dai Mubai—with his current Soul Power, he had no power to resist.
He could only hope for Tang San and Xiao Wu. As soon as Ling Mo broke free, he would immediately leave this damn place.
“Follow this little lady for now! Shrek Academy is unavoidable. Find an opportunity to recover Soul Power first!
Once recovered, slip away directly! Screw going to school. Someone as smart as me doesn’t need to study a hammer’s worth!
Perfect timing. A few months ago, there was a mysterious ancient ruin that appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest area. Find time to get the third Soul Ring, then explore the whereabouts of the mysterious ancient ruin…
But to be honest, this little lady is really something. That figure is amazing! Really want to take her home…”
Following behind, Ling Mo had already started planning his next moves.
Originally, he planned to stay at Shrek Academy for a while, but now things had developed to this situation.
If he stayed longer, he’d probably be abused!
Perfect timing. A few months ago, when he left Nuoding City, he had spotted traces of a mysterious ancient ruin outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
That mysterious ancient ruin was located in the northern area of the Star Dou Great Forest, near the core zone!
Through Dual Pupils’ sensing ability, Ling Mo clearly felt the aura emanating from that mysterious ancient ruin.
Dual Pupils had a very powerful ability: to detect mysterious ancient tombs within dozens of miles around, ancient tombs with huge Soul Power fluctuations.
These ancient tombs usually had good things. If he could dig them open, he could definitely make a fortune…
