Soul Land—Chapter 78: The Tragic Duo; Target: Vast Sea City
The Tianya who spoke earlier stroked his chin. "Is it someone else who knows about your and my fetish, wanting to take revenge or something? What if the other party finds out?"
Bu Le chuckled twice. "Don't worry, there are drugs. That guy was injured in the soul-fighting competition. Can the three of us—soul elders—deal with him? It'll be done without anyone noticing. I'll put a cover on him, and he won't be able to run away."
Tianya heard this, a hint of ruthlessness and excitement flashing in his eyes. "Okay, Bu Le, you go first. I want to see how pretty he is."
He wiped his beard and adjusted his white stockings.
The three of them lay dormant in the dark alley leading to the outside world.
"Hey, Bu Le, look at the guy that the little fat guy is carrying. Is he your target? I think his figure fits the description."
Bu Le narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction Tianya pointed. Sure enough, he saw a little fat man carrying a person and walking slowly.
The little fat man was bloated, but his steps were steady. The person on his shoulders appeared semi-conscious, hanging limply and walking weakly.
"Yes, it's him," Bu Le whispered. A vicious glint flashed in his eyes. "The boy was injured in a soul-fighting competition. Now's a good chance to attack. Tianya, prepare the drug. Once I trap him, you act immediately."
Tianya nodded, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, shook it gently, and a slight rustling sound came from it. "The drug is ready. I guarantee he'll sleep until dawn and won't remember anything when he wakes up. And, hehe, this boy looks very good in skin and hair—like those nobles. What about the fat kid? He doesn't suit my taste."
Bu Le chuckled sinisterly. "I've seen that fat boy. He often goes to brothels with me. Since we're in the same boat, I'll let him go this time. I'll find a pigsty to throw him into after he's knocked out."
Ma Hongjun's body was already burning with heat at this moment. "Boss Dai, please try harder and walk faster. I seem to be a bit angry today and I need to relieve myself quickly."
Dai Mubai snorted coldly. "Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong with me walking slowly to conserve my energy? If you can't help it, go find a corner and solve it yourself."
Ma Hongjun was about to speak when two hemispherical pink covers suddenly appeared above his head, covering both Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, with a faint white mist mixed in.
"Huh? Damn?!"
Ma Hongjun was caught off guard, and Dai Mubai, who had just woken up, had no time to react. Both of them were enveloped by the pink covers.
The faint white mist emanating from inside the hood, with its strange fragrance, instantly made the two feel dizzy.
"Fuck! Which bastard attacked me?! I—"
The unhappy trio quickly rushed out of the dark and took the two away.
With their strength as soul masters, they could be regarded as a small elite within the soul-master world. The recruitment advertisements for Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy all targeted soul masters and above.
Some soul masters could even serve as small city lords in minor cities.
In Suo Tuo City, there weren't many stronger than them.
As they waited for the opportunity, this action, like their usual activities, did not attract attention or cause unnecessary trouble.
They took the unconscious Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai to a remote, abandoned warehouse—sealed on all sides with only a rusted iron door, making it difficult for outsiders to discover what was happening inside.
Dai Mubai was left behind, and the two men chuckled as they walked away.
Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun was taken to the pigpen by the E Kao.
"Damn, this kid is unconscious, but his body is still so hot."
The E Kao looked strange as he examined Ma Hongjun's unconscious movements, then threw him into a sow (pig) pen with disgust.
"Fck?"
Suddenly, E Kao's eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at what was happening inside the pigpen. Ma Hongjun was thrown to the ground.
Panting, he reached out to grab the things around him.
Suddenly, a sound came from the pigpen.
The E Kao's mouth trembled, and he raised his hand, preparing to kill the pig so Ma Hongjun wouldn't be awakened.
"Boy, you're so good—bah, I'll never see you again!"

The next day.
It was nearly noon when Dai Mubai returned to Shrek Academy.
He looked disheveled, his steps weak, and his pupils dull. He was clutching his butt and walking slowly.
Without saying a word to anyone, he even ignored Flanders' questions and rushed into his room, locking the door.
Flanders was about to get angry and open the door to question Dai Mubai, but he heard faint crying outside. The mixture of depression and humiliation in the cry made Flanders' heart sink.
He no longer attacked the Shrek sponsor. He snorted and went to the academy gate to wait for Ma Hongjun's return.
About two and a half quarters later, Flanders waited for his adopted "son."
Ma Hongjun walked along the country road with a look of despair on his face. He was wet, looking as if he had just taken a bath.
While walking, he sniffed himself from head to toe, cursing non-stop.
"Fck! Where have you been fooling around, you stinky boy? You smell terrible!" Flanders waved his hands, signaling Ma Hongjun not to come over.
"Did you fall into the toilet while you were at it!?"
Ma Hongjun smiled bitterly. He was painfully aware of how embarrassing and disgusting he looked now. But he truly had no choice—last night's experience was a nightmare for him.
Compared to that, he would rather do as Flanders said and fall into the toilet.
"Dean, I... I don't know what to say," Ma Hongjun said bitterly. "I was ambushed last night and woke up in a pigsty. It's okay—I won't say anything. It's all tears."
He looked up at the sky and sighed. Then he headed in a certain direction. "Dean, I want to take a shower!"
Flanders was stunned. "Fck, that's my room. Get out!"

In Suo Tuo City, at the Royal Fighting Team's base...
Qin Ming held a meeting.
"After this period of group fighting, everyone's tacit understanding and strength have increased somewhat. But Suo Tuo City is just an agricultural city after all, and the soul masters here aren't very strong.
After discussing with Ling Qianyao, I plan to lead everyone to the prosperous Vast Sea City on the West Coast for a few days of soul-fighting competition.
Then we'll go north to Fasinou Province, pass through Northland Province, and return to Heaven Dou City in the east."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ling Qianyao smiled. On the way to Vast Sea City, they would pass through Nuoding City.
