Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

"Aah!"

A group of female students shrieked in horror.

Dai Huabin's brutal takedown of the thousand-year soul beast had already turned their stomachs, and now his enraged charge only made them pale with fear.

The male students were equally shocked, quickly distancing themselves from Dai Huabin to avoid getting caught in the chaos. But once safely away, they settled in to watch the drama unfold.

Everyone knew about Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin's relationship, and now, seeing Qian Ran's affectionate behavior toward Zhu Lu, they were catching on fast.

"Damn, Qian Ran's unstoppable. All the pretty girls in our class are almost gone—now he's even gotten Zhu Lu."

"Dai Huabin does have it rough, but honestly, he doesn't deserve pity. He's always acting like he's above everyone, even though Qian Ran's obviously stronger."

Dai Huabin's popularity wasn't exactly stellar, and many students felt a certain satisfaction watching him being put in his place by Qian Ran. After all, someone like Zhu Lu was way out of their league; only Qian Ran would dare challenge Dai Huabin for her.

"Wu Feng, do you think Qian Ran prefers… uh, bigger girls?" Ning Tian asked, frowning. Her own figure couldn't compare to Zhu Lu's, and even Wu Feng had her beat.

"Maybe, but it can't be the only thing. I mean, Xiao Xiao isn't exactly… you know," Wu Feng replied, feeling a bit sorry for Ning Tian. She remembered Qian Ran's tendency to, well, let his hands wander with her too. Clearly, Qian Ran did seem to have a thing for Zhu Lu's type.

"Yeah, true," Ning Tian said, casting a glance at Xiao Xiao and then at herself. She may not match Zhu Lu, but surely she wasn't smaller than Xiao Xiao?

Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er were sulking quietly as well, worried as they observed Zhu Lu's full figure.

In their eyes, Zhu Lu was a real threat—she was curvier and more alluring than either Tang Ya or Jiang Nannan, and they couldn't help but wonder if Qian Ran might lose his head over her.

As slender types, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er, and even Jiang Nannan couldn't help but worry. Tang Ya's figure was just above average for her age, but Zhu Lu? Zhu Lu's physique turned heads without her having to do anything.

"Dai Huabin, stop right there!" shouted Du Weilun, his voice ringing with anger.

He'd never encountered a situation like this during a promotion assessment. For Dai Huabin to so brazenly attack another student in front of him? Du Weilun didn't care what reasons Dai Huabin thought he had.

"Let's wait and see," Yan Shaozhe said, placing a hand on Du Weilun's shoulder.

Even Yan Shaozhe felt a bit of sympathy for Dai Huabin.

Qian Ran's flirtatious nature was practically legendary in the Outer Court. Zhu Lu was already more than just a girlfriend to Dai Huabin; they were engaged. The Dai and Zhu families had been closely connected for generations, and broken engagements were rare.

But sympathy aside, punishment was necessary.

Shrek Academy didn't get involved in students' personal relationships. At most, they might send a report to the White Tiger Duke's family.

"Have you lost it, Dai Huabin?"

Qian Ran taunted, effortlessly dodging Dai Huabin's attacks while holding Zhu Lu. Dai Huabin's speed was far too slow for Qian Ran, who could easily avoid him even with Zhu Lu in his arms.

"I've lost it! Hah! Qian Ran, you despicable snake, why are you doing this?"

"And you, Zhu Lu—how could you betray me? Why are you with Qian Ran?"

Dai Huabin was nearly hysterical.

Everyone present knew his fiancée had been claimed by Qian Ran—a humiliation beyond measure.

"Dai Huabin, don't you know what you're like? Why should Zhu Lu stay with you?"

Many of the students around them silently nodded. Dai Huabin was known for his volatile temper, pettiness, and tendency to act superior without the strength to back it up. He was indeed a poor match.

"Come on, this is the modern age. Arranged marriages? Love should be free," Qian Ran grinned, taking the opportunity to kick Dai Huabin to the ground.

"Teacher Zhou Yi, you should handle this," Yan Shaozhe said, turning to Zhou Yi.

Since Qian Ran and Dai Huabin were both her students, it was only appropriate for Zhou Yi to deal with the fight. Known for her strictness and impartiality, Zhou Yi would ensure fair consequences.

"As I see it, Dai Huabin's behavior is insubordinate. For openly acting out like this, school policy allows for expulsion," Zhou Yi declared, clearly unimpressed. She'd never been fond of Dai Huabin, especially given his constant antagonism toward Qian Ran.

Du Weilun and Yan Shaozhe both raised their eyebrows. Dai Huabin was undeniably talented; besides Qian Ran, he was the strongest in his year.

"If you don't want him, I'll take him."

"Expelling Dai Huabin would risk offending the White Tiger Duke's family. Zhou Yi, do you really dare?" Mu Jin scoffed, her voice laced with disdain. She'd always disliked Zhou Yi, partly because most of the top students were placed in Zhou Yi's class. To Mu Jin, it seemed unfair, and her resentment only grew after Zhou Yi married Fan Yu, whom they both had feelings for.

Zhou Yi simply ignored Mu Jin, indifferent to her provocations. She had long since stopped caring about Fan Yu's preferences.

Leaping down from the referee's stand, Zhou Yi released her martial spirit.

"Dai Huabin, do you think this is your family estate? Haven't you humiliated yourself enough?"

Her voice rang out, cold and unyielding. Dai Huabin's face turned ashen.

"Qian Ran, Dai Huabin, follow me," Zhou Yi said coolly, leading the way.

Dai Huabin's eyes were filled with hatred as he shot one final look at Zhu Lu, feeling both wounded and humiliated. His fiancée had been taken from him right in front of everyone.

"From today forward, our White Tiger Duke's family considers you an enemy," he hissed, retracting his martial spirit.

"Looking forward to it," Qian Ran shrugged, indifferent. The White Tiger Duke's family didn't intimidate him; after all, a noble title meant little without military might to back it up, and they couldn't exactly deploy troops over a personal vendetta.

"Be good, Lulu. Focus on your assessment. I'll come get you afterward," Qian Ran said warmly, placing a gentle kiss on Zhu Lu's forehead.

Stolen treasures, after all, had a certain thrill. Or rather, she was his treasure now.

Qian Ran didn't waste another thought on Dai Huabin as he followed Zhou Yi to her office, fully expecting Dai Huabin to be disciplined while he walked away unscathed.

As they walked, Qian Ran couldn't help admiring the beautiful teacher ahead of him, her slender legs wrapped in translucent stockings and her black heels clicking along the corridor.

This was his playing field, and in due time, she, too, would be his.
