Chapter 24 Mu Bai: In these three years, I have built a great foundation outside!
Shrek Academy in the early morning.
The air was fresh, carrying the scent of grass and morning dew.
The school buildings are neatly planned and the roads are clean, making it almost indistinguishable from intermediate and advanced soul master academies in big cities.
In the distance, the faint sounds of people exercising in the morning could be heard, and everything exuded an orderly vitality.
No one could have predicted it.
Three years ago, it was just a dilapidated village.
The two had not gone far from the dormitory area when two figures came running up the path ahead.
"Good morning, Brother Mubai!"
Oscar ran and waved, still clutching a half-eaten sausage in his hand.
Beside him was Ma Hongjun, panting heavily. Now free from the torment of the evil fire, he had lost weight and become much more handsome.
"morning."
Mu Bai nodded.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun ran over and were about to speak when their eyes fell on Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing next to Mu Bai.
Both of them were taken aback.
Although Zhu Zhuqing's face was still a little pale, her cool and beautiful face instantly attracted the attention of the two boys.
Ma Hongjun's small eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he suddenly gasped, pointing at Zhu Zhuqing and stammering out the words.
"Wow! Boss! Where did you find such a beautiful junior?!"
"And they got the hang of it so quickly?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the air fell silent.
Mu Bai: "..."
Zhu Zhuqing's cool face was expressionless, but a faint blush appeared on her ears at a visible speed.
Oscar slapped Ma Hongjun on the back of the head and lowered his voice.
"You fatso! What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Ouch!"
Ma Hongjun covered his head, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and quickly tried to make amends.
"No, no! I mean... Boss, you're really fast! Ugh! No, I mean..."
Mu Bai sighed helplessly, rubbed his temples, and looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, introducing her.
"Zhuqing, these two are my brothers from the academy."
"It's Ma Hongjun who speaks without thinking. He's twelve years old, about your age, and his martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix. He's already a level thirty-nine Soul Master!"
"The other one is Oscar, a food-type soul master. He's two years older than you, and his martial soul is sausage. He's a food-type soul master with innate full soul power and is currently a level 41 Soul Master."
Because Mu Bai gifted Oscar and Ma Hongjun the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower earlier than in the original novel.
In addition, over the past three years.
The two had ample resources for cultivation every day, including soul power food, daily soul beast meat meals, and occasionally spiritual herbs—they had everything they needed.
In addition, there is the Martial Soul Mimicry Training Ground, which can accelerate cultivation.
Therefore, their cultivation levels are now far higher than in the original story!
A twelve-year-old Soul Master at level 39 and a fourteen-year-old Soul Grandmaster—if word got out, it would probably scare people to death!
After the introduction, Mu Bai turned to the two guys who were already stunned, his tone calm but with an undeniable seriousness.
"This is Zhu Zhuqing, my fiancée."
Because Mu Bai had already revealed his identity as the third prince of the Star Luo Empire.
Therefore, during these three years, he naturally did not hide the fact that the Star Luo royal family and the Netherworld Grand Duke's Mansion had a Gu-raising inheritance system, as well as that he had a fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing, in the Star Luo imperial city.
He learned that the girl in front of him was Zhu Zhuqing, Mu Bai's fiancée.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun immediately stood up straight and bowed deeply to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Greetings, Sister-in-law Zhuqing! Greetings, Mistress!"
"The mistress?!"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned and looked at Mu Bai with some confusion.
Mu Bai smiled faintly, his long golden hair shimmering in the morning light, his silver eyes radiating confidence and arrogance: "These past three years outside haven't been wasted!"
He looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked, "Do you know Shrek brand soap and bar soap?"
Zhu Zhuqing paused slightly, then nodded.
She naturally knew about this product. It had become popular in Xingluo Imperial City in the last two years, quickly gaining popularity among both nobles and commoners due to its excellent cleaning effect and diverse fragrances.
She even used it.
But... what does this have to do with Mu Bai and Shrek Academy?
and many more!
Shrek brand?!
Shrek Academy!
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, as if she had thought of something!
Seeing this, Mu Bai smiled slightly and said casually.
"You're right!"
"This business was founded by me in collaboration with Shrek Academy."
"The formula is mine, and I also provided the start-up capital and initial operational ideas. The academy provided personnel and some resources to handle production and sales."
"Today, the 'Shrek' brand business has spread throughout the mainland, and the profits it brings are astonishing."
"Three years ago, Shrek Academy was just a dilapidated village. Its current state is all thanks to the profits from soap and bar soap."
Zhu Zhuqing gripped her jade-like hand tightly, her heart filled with shock.
She never expected that Mubai was behind that cleaning brand that has become almost a household name in recent years.
Moreover, this is how they have become deeply bound to Shrek Academy!
This requires not only business acumen, but also a precise grasp of resources and the situation.
"That's not all."
Mu Bai continued with a smile.
"Through this relationship and the constant flow of resources, my connection with the faculty at the college has become increasingly close."
"Later, under the guise of the Third Prince's residence recruiting 'guest advisors' for joint development, I formally invited the academy's teachers to join."
"They all agreed!"
"And the academy's dean, Flander, the vice-dean, Zhao Wuji, and teacher Shao Xin were all Soul Saints!"
"Teachers Li Yusong and Lu Qibin are both Soul Emperors!"
"But with my help, Dean Flander and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji are now both at the level of Soul Douluo."
"Teachers Li Yusong and Lu Qibin have already broken through to the Soul Saint level."
"Now, Shrek Academy is our strongest supporter!"
boom--!
Zhu Zhuqing felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in her mind!
Contra! Soul Saint! Two Contras, three Soul Saints!
Moreover, judging from Mu Bai's words, these people are bound together by the interests of the soap business and by the gratitude they owe him for helping him break through.
Although nominally they are "guest advisors" with greater freedom.
But in reality... he's no different from his subordinates!
What does this mean?
This means that Mu Bai, far from the power center of Star Luo City, has quietly gathered a powerful force based on two Soul Douluo, three Soul Saints, and the entire Shrek Academy!
"Oscar and Ma Hongjun were also trained by me."
With a confident and proud smile, Mu Bai pointed at Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
"They have agreed to join my Xingluo Third Prince's residence in the future and serve me."
"That's right!"
"I'd go through fire and water for my boss!"
Oscar and Ma Hongjun immediately nodded emphatically, their eyes filled with determination.
Mu Bai looked at Zhu Zhuqing again, who was completely stunned. Her long golden hair shone faintly in the morning light, and her silver double pupils were deep and bright, exuding confidence.
"So, Zhuqing, you don't need to worry anymore."
"The demons and monsters of Star Luo Imperial City, the so-called suppression and predicaments, all ended the moment you stepped into Shrek Academy."
"This is our territory, our foundation."
"Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's hands can't reach out. And you..."
He softened his tone, speaking with a reassuring certainty and a smile.
"Just focus on cultivating here and getting stronger."
"Leave the rest to me."
Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly at the blond-haired, silver-eyed, handsome young man before her, whose words held the power to manipulate events. She saw the undisguised confidence and arrogance in his eyes, and... his unreserved protection and promises to her.
Three years of grievances, resentment, loneliness, and perseverance...
At this moment, it transformed into a surging warm current, instantly breaking down the last icy barrier in her heart.
The coldness and stubbornness that she had been suppressing in her beautiful eyes quietly melted away, revealing a faint shimmer of water.
She blinked hard, forcing back the moisture, but the slightly reddened corners of her eyes and her trembling eyelashes betrayed the turmoil in her heart.
As expected... she hadn't misjudged him!
Her fiancé, Dai Mubai, was even more outstanding, stronger, and more... reliable than she had imagined!
He did not give up. Not only did he not give up, but he also silently accumulated such amazing strength in places unseen by everyone, creating a sky that could shelter her from the wind and rain and even allow her to fight back for their shared future!
"Um!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded emphatically, her voice not loud, but unusually firm.
All the words in the world can be summed up in just one word.
But the trust, relief, and rekindled hope it contains are more powerful than any flowery language.
