Chapter 9: The Unhappy Trio?
Chapter 9 The Unhappy Trio?
Soto City is located in the center of the most fertile Lima Plain in the Kingdom of Barak. It is the largest and most powerful city in the Kingdom of Barak besides the capital, and is known as the granary of Barak.
Its location is quite advantageous, with Tian Dou Wang City to the north and Shrek Academy to the southwest. Traveling southeast for a few days will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest.
No wonder this place became the starting point.
After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the foot of Soto City. Looking at the simple but very solemn and dignified city walls and gates, Ma Hongjun thought to himself.
As he entered the city, the red-haired boy followed the flow of people, curiously looking at the various shops on both sides, each with its own ancient Babylonian architectural style, feeling a long-lost sense of life.
This feeling is completely different from what I remember.
"Oh, I almost forgot about the important matter. I still need to find them first."
The boy was immersed in the novelty of this otherworldly city-state. After a long while, he remembered something, patted his head, and followed his memories from his previous life toward several places where Ning Rongrong and the others might be.
Dai Mubai and Oscar said that Xiao Wu was angry with Tang San, and they wanted to accompany Xiao Wu to cheer her up. They hoped that someone could stand up, dress up the bad guys, and fight Xiao Wu to distract her.
To be honest, Ma Hongjun didn't believe it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to make any particularly unreasonable sense.
As far as he knew, Xiao Wu didn't seem to have any other hobbies, and a fight might actually improve her mood.
However, they underestimated Dai Mubai's cunning, or rather, they placed too much faith in the stereotypes they had seen in books from their previous life.
Since most of the story is true, Dai Mubai simply added another detail, while Ma Hongjun, relying on stereotypes, conveniently filled in the gap in that detail.
He himself didn't take it seriously.
It's just one fight, and I can stop at any time, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?
Consider this a preview of Soto City.
Thinking this, he wandered around with great interest, completely unaware that two furtive shadows were following him.
"Hey, Boss Dai, should we try to persuade him to stop?"
Oscar disguised himself as a sausage vendor, and at first glance, it looked completely natural.
The blond boy had now covered his striking blond hair and hunched over. He sat next to Oscar, taking a big bite of a sausage. "No, we have to make this kid look down on by the girls, otherwise, given their impression of us, we won't get anything."
"But wouldn't it be a bit unfair to do that?"
Oscar hesitated for a moment.
"Do you still want to pursue Ning Rongrong? Do you think she'd prefer a handsome, red-haired man or a sleazy old man selling sausages?"
Dai Mubai patted his head in exasperation.
"Boss Dai, you're right, Fatty, I'm sorry!!"
Oscar immediately snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and nodded firmly.
"That's more like it. You like Ning Rongrong, and I've got my eye on that cat, but if Fatty isn't on the same starting line as us, then we have no chance."
Dai Mubai wore a pleased expression, as if to say, "This child is teachable."
"You're right, boss, but... we all have someone we like, what about Fatty?"
"What are you afraid of? We still have Xiao Wu, right?"
"But Xiao Wu isn't with Tang San."
"Bullshit, fair competition, okay? Are they dating? Are they married? Have they had children?"
Dai Mubai rolled his eyes.
"Besides, you can steal someone else's partner while you're in a relationship, you can get divorced while you're married, and you can take over someone else's child after you've had one."
"Besides, are you supporting someone who just started school or a brother you've known for so many years?"
"Damn, Boss Dai, you're right! It has to be a brother!"
"Isn't that all?"
Oscar was completely convinced.
No wonder he's a man with twins; his awareness is truly different.
"Alright, enough talk, keep a close eye on him. This kid's running way too fast, is a mutated martial soul really that amazing?"
"Yeah, I wonder when they'll change me up. I don't have high expectations, just want someone with that kid's charisma. Holy crap, where is he??"
Oscar and Dai Mubai stared dumbfounded at the flow of people; the white-clad, red-haired boy had vanished without a trace.
"Quickly, quickly! We can't let something really happen!!"
"Okay, okay, I need to push my bike. Hey, Boss Dai, wait a minute!!"
Ma Hongjun had no idea that his two good brothers were searching for him all over the streets. He had already walked around following his memory, but still couldn't find the three of them.
"Boutique shopping mall, perfume shops, clothing stores, food street"
The young man in white with red hair walked out of the last shop under the alluring gaze of the voluptuous female shop owner, and scratched his chin in slight confusion.
"Don't girls all love going to places like this?"
He remembered that in the original story, Ning Rongrong did exactly that, and so on.
It seems like it's today!
Snapped!
Ma Hongjun slapped his forehead, realizing he'd forgotten something. Today was the first day of training!
Oh no, it seems they all stood Flanders up.
Based on Ma Hongjun's understanding of his master, this matter is likely to escalate into a major incident.
"We need to find them quickly; this is no joke."
The boy took a deep breath and continued toward the next destination.
Turning the corner, a magnificent hotel appeared before him. Ma Hongjun glanced at it casually, but paused slightly.
There were several people he recognized standing at the hotel entrance.
"No, are you serious?"
The speaker was tall with broad, sturdy shoulders. His long hair, though somewhat disheveled, carried a wild air about him, but what was most striking were his eyes.
Those were eyes that were extremely small.
At this moment, his eyes, which were squeezed into slits by swollen blisters, were trying to open wide, shining brightly as he looked at the seemingly honest-looking middle-aged man in front of him.
"Yeah, Bu Le, don't lie to us. You said the same thing last time, but when we went in, wow, she was older than my mom, with wrinkles so deep you could trap a fly."
Another person also hurriedly came over.
His appearance was even more sleazy; apart from his hair, which was relatively normal, there was basically nothing normal about him.
He was so thin that he seemed to be nothing but bones. His eyes were large, but the pupils were yellow and shimmered with a sinister light. His two whiskers trembled as he spoke.
As he was speaking, he whistled at a woman passing by, his eyes fixed on her skirt, which startled her so much that she quickly left.
"Old Goose, Tianya, you still don't believe me? I bought this information for a gold soul coin! Those three girls are absolutely gorgeous, practically unparalleled in this world!!"
The honest-looking middle-aged man suddenly became anxious. He, who was 1.6 meters tall, almost jumped up, waving his arms and patting his chest with great conviction.
"Holy crap? One gold soul coin for a piece of information?"
The old goose was taken aback. "Are you crazy?"
"Yeah, one gold soul coin can buy you a month's worth of Little Peach Blossom luck, why don't you just give it to me?!"
Tianya looked distressed, and suddenly the young women and wives on the street didn't seem so appealing anymore.
"No, no, no, you just don't understand."
Bu Ledou's large eyes gleamed with a lewd light. "As far as I know, those three girls are all exceptional beauties, each with their own unique charm!"
"One is a natural, pure, and exquisite beauty, a girl from a modest family."
"A youthful and lively girl with incredibly long legs, she's the epitome of a girl next door."
"And there's another one, tsk tsk, an even rarer, cold and stunning beauty, with a youthful face and...tsk tsk tsk, you know what I mean!"
As the red-haired boy turned the corner, his ears twitched, and his eyes narrowed.
