Chapter 78

Entering the small house, Mu Yun'er poured Bai Zhou a cup of hot tea and immediately began chatting with him.

Because Bai Zhou came from Shrek Academy, Mu Yun'er had absolute trust in his character and only asked a few simple, basic questions.

Upon learning that Bai Zhou was even younger than Jiang Nannan, Mu Yun'er's smile became even more radiant.

She loved young, sweet boys the most.

This way, Jiang Nannan's status in the family would be a bit higher.

Then, Mu Yun'er couldn't wait to bring up the matter of the wedding...

At this, Jiang Nannan, who had been listening from the side with a flushed face, finally couldn't sit still. She hurriedly grabbed Mu Yun'er's arm, pouted, and acted like a spoiled child: "Mom~ We're still young; how could we get married so soon... Besides, Bai Zhou came this time to help, to help you deal with those troublesome matters, not to propose marriage..."

Jiang Nannan was truly speechless at this moment. She and Bai Zhou were only pretending to be a couple, and before Bai Zhou had even said anything, her mother had already become impatient to marry her off...

What kind of situation is this...

Jiang Nannan felt heartbroken, feeling as though she had been backstabbed...

"What do you mean 'young'? This is the perfect time to talk about marriage. Look at Ruhua next door; at your age, her child is almost born," Mu Yun'er said, glaring at her.

"I..."

Jiang Nannan stiffened her neck, wanting to retort, but she was completely suppressed by Mu Yun'er's aura.

Although Mu Yun'er was relatively gentle.

Her attitude regarding Jiang Nannan's marriage was exceptionally firm.

Of course, most mothers are like this.

They are terrified that their daughters will become old maids and never get married.

If they have sons, they are also afraid their sons won't be able to find wives.

On this "Hormone Continent," marriage just has to happen this early.

Those unfilial children who aren't married by seventeen or eighteen would be dragged out and denounced by the whole village if they lived in some small village! "Bai Zhou, say something!" Because of the bloodline suppression, Jiang Nannan couldn't argue back and could only frantically signal to Bai Zhou, urging him to explain quickly.

Seeing this, Bai Zhou hurriedly spoke up to explain: "Auntie, Nannan and I are still students; getting married is still a bit too early."

"Oh, oh, that's true... too early to get married..."

Mu Yun'er felt that what this son-in-law Bai Zhou said made some sense, so she immediately proposed: "Then how about... getting engaged first?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhou's eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "Auntie is right, that would be fine."

Jiang Nannan:...

"Bai Zhou...!!!"

Jiang Nannan's face turned bright red, and she was almost furious enough to explode!

It was supposed to be just pretending to be a couple, so how did it turn into an engagement???

And it was done completely without her consent! How could it be like this!!!

It's too much bullying...

"Nannan, don't speak. I agree to this match, and Little Bai has no objections. What else do you want to say? Don't tell me you're asking for a betrothal gift?"

Mu Yun'er immediately interrupted Jiang Nannan, her brows furrowing instantly.

"No... it's not that..."

Jiang Nannan hurriedly shrank her neck and whispered in defense.

"Then that settles it. You and Little Bai are both good children. You are in a free-love relationship. Little Bai is so outstanding; you're getting the better end of the deal. It's already very generous of Little Bai not to ask you for a dowry..."

Mu Yun'er continued.

Although she didn't know much about Bai Zhou, she liked this child from the bottom of her heart and was very satisfied with him.

Moreover, she had a premonition that a child as outstanding as Bai Zhou must have many girls pursuing him at the academy. If one day Bai Zhou met a girl even better than Jiang Nannan, and since Bai Zhou is so young, he might not be able to resist the temptation...

This was also the main reason she was so anxious to push for this marriage.

"Boom—"

Just then, a loud roar suddenly came from outside the house.

The three of them hurriedly stopped talking, stood up together, and walked toward the outside.

They saw that the wall on the left side of the already dilapidated courtyard had collapsed, and underneath it were seven or eight hooligans with tattoos and red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple dyed hair.

Perhaps because the courtyard gate was locked, these people had climbed over the wall to get in.

And since the wall in this courtyard wasn't very sturdy, after being tossed around by these energetic young men, it finally couldn't bear the weight and collapsed.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—" "What kind of crappy courtyard is this? The wall is so trashy."

"Is this even a place for people to live?"

"Sister-in-law Mu, you'd better just follow Brother Long sooner rather than later, then you can move to the city center and be a noble lady..."

The few hooligans crawled out of the ruins, cursing and swearing while engaging in their daily harassment.

However, when they stood up, they saw that there were suddenly two more people beside Mu Yun'er.

In an instant, everyone's gaze was drawn to Jiang Nannan.

"Oh, so it's Miss Nannan. And who is this young man..."

The pink-haired youth in the lead glanced at Jiang Nannan, showing no fear at all, and instead fixed his gaze on Bai Zhou.

They knew Jiang Nannan was a student at Shrek Academy, but this was Shrek City, and there were Shrek law enforcers here. As long as they didn't break the law, even the law enforcers couldn't do anything to them.

It was just that there was suddenly an unfamiliar young man today, and looking at the way they acted, he seemed to have a very close relationship with Jiang Nannan, which made things a bit interesting.

"Little Bai, don't be impulsive, let me handle this..."

Seeing this, Mu Yun'er subconsciously shielded Bai Zhou to prevent him from being implicated by her.

"Auntie, leave it to me. I came here specifically for these guys."

Bai Zhou, however, shook his head and took the initiative to step forward.

He then directly released his Soul Elder cultivation, and the powerful pressure instantly made these hooligans, who were merely ordinary people, unable to catch their breath.

"Little Bai, don't be impulsive, this is Shrek City!" Seeing Bai Zhou wanting to take action, Jiang Nannan hurriedly stopped him.

"Heh, you've got guts, kid. If you have the ability, beat me to death. If you don't dare to make a move, you're a coward!"

The leading youth grinned; not only was he not afraid, but he was actually somewhat excited.

Because in Shrek City, it is a major taboo for Soul Masters to take action, let alone kill someone.

Although they lived in the slums, they were still residents of Shrek City and were protected by Shrek's laws.

Now that the other party had already alerted the law enforcers, no matter who they were, they would face extremely severe punishment!

"Since you've all said so, then I naturally have to grant your wish~" Bai Zhou grinned.

The next moment.

"Swish, swish, swish—"

Countless Blue Silver Grass vines shot out from the ground, binding the few of them together.

Immediately following that, they tightened abruptly.

"Crack, crack, crack—"

In an instant, the sound of bones cracking could be heard.

"Ah... Mmph..."

Before the few of them could even scream, their mouths were stuffed with thick Blue Silver Grass.

Very quickly, seven giant Blue Silver Grass "zongzi" appeared on the spot.

Bai Zhou waved his hand casually and tossed these zongzi away.

To avoid having his future mother-in-law see a bloody scene, Bai Zhou didn't kill them on the spot.

But as for how long they could survive in an enclosed environment, that was not something Bai Zhou needed to consider.

"Swish—"

Just then, the sound of a flying soul tool breaking through the air came from the sky.

More than a dozen Shrek City law enforcers had sensed the explosion of soul power fluctuations here and arrived at the first opportunity.

Seeing the Shrek City law enforcers, Jiang Nannan and Mu Yun'er became instantly vigilant.

After all, anyone who has lived in Shrek City for a period of time knows what a terrifying group of people the law enforcers are.

They are like mad dogs.

No matter who gets caught, they won't get away without losing a layer of skin!

However, at this moment, seeing these people, Bai Zhou was not only unafraid but actually had a smile on his face, and even took the initiative to greet them...
