Chapter 291 – Give Me Her Number!

“Haven’t you heard of Shrek’s Sea God’s Fated Date Festival?” Xie Xie’s wide eyes drilled into Tang Wulin’s . “I heard if you are in the inner court and are of a certain age, you’ll qualify to participate in the festival . It’s a grand occasion for everyone in the inner court! Even us outer court students can catch glimpses of it later . I’m not sure about the details, but apparently the festival has been held ten thousand years straight! Countless couples sprang up there . Legend has it the Spirit Ice Douluo and the Dragon Butterfly Douluo started dating at this festival!”

Tang Wulin was not amused . “You’re already thinking about those things at your age? We’re too young for that stuff . Besides, you have to get into the inner court first if you want to participate! We still have a long ways to go, you know? Think about the student number two who beat you into a pulp during the trials . He’s that strong and he’s not even an inner court student . ”  

“I’ll figure it out once I have a target . And we definitely have a shot at making it into the inner court if we give it our all . ” Xie Xie bounced up and down from his seat .

Tang Wulin smiled, raising his cup . “Congratulations everyone! We’ve made it into Shrek Academy . Let’s consider this a late celebration . ”

Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan perked up when they heard Tang Wulin’s words, their ice cream forgotten on the table . The four exchanged smiles . Not just anyone can get accepted into Shrek Academy!

Calling it the continent’s number one academy was no understatement . Merely the entrance exam alone tested so many aspects: strength, potential, secondary profession, character, and patience among other things . It was a thoroughly comprehensive exam . Failing a single trial would have greatly hindered their chances of making it into the academy .

Yet now, they sat there as students of Shrek Academy . Wu Zhangkong and Eastsea Academy hadn’t wasted their time grooming the four afterall .

Expectation filled their hearts . They all wondered what they would learn here at Shrek Academy, and just how different it would be from a mundane academy such as Eastsea Academy .

“Waitress, over here!” During the four’s celebration, the person at the table next to them shouted .

They turned a deaf ear to the commotion, but that was only the beginning .

“Give me your number . ” The stranger’s words were coated with arrogance .

Who dares to be so demanding in Shrek Academy?

Tang Wulin and the others turned to check out who this self-important person was .

A  young man sat at a neighboring table . He didn’t wear a Shrek Academy uniform, and instead accentuated his handsome features with a white suit . He seemed about one or two years older than Tang Wulin and his group . His hair was reminiscent of spun gold, combed back and held in place with some product, not one hair out of place .  

A strange air exuded from the depths of his mystical golden eyes, as if his existence itself radiated light .

Of all the customers in the drink shop, only Tang Wulin could rival this person in the looks department . Even so, Tang Wulin was no match for the golden-haired young man’s overbearingness .

The waitress stood in front of him . She wore a long black skirt and a white apron . She had jade-white skin, short fiery-red hair, and a pair of large and beautiful black eyes . Her beauty made men want to protect her .

“I’m sorry, that is out of the scope of my job responsibilities,” she politely responded .

“Then what will it take for me to get your number?” he asked .

The waitress shook her head and turned around to leave .

“What kind of service is this? Get me your manager . ” The man slammed his palm on the table, instantly attracting the eyes of the surrounding customers . Yet for some reason, those wearing the Shrek Academy uniform averted their gazes when they saw it was this young man making the commotion .

“Please wait a moment . ” After saying this, the waitress scurried off .

A few moments later, a middle-aged man came forward to the table . “Sir, may I ask what the problem is? I am the manager of this drink shop . ”

“Give me her communicator number . ” The young man pointed at the waitress .

The manager made a regretful face . “My apologies, but I cannot divulge the private information of the staff . ”

The young man raised a brow . “Then what do I need to do to get her number?”

“I’m sorry that we can’t help you . Please don’t make things difficult for us . I can’t tell you her private information no matter what . ” The manager’s tone was polite, but firm .

The pressure within the shop increased tenfold . “Get me your boss . ”

Though the manager hesitated, brows dipping, he nodded in the end . “Please wait a moment . ” He turned around and left .

True to his word, the manager returned soon after, a richly-dressed middle-aged man in tow .

“Sir, how can I help you?”

“I want that waitress’s number . ” Once again, he exhibited the arrogance of someone used to getting their way .

The owner of the shop didn’t flinch at the demand . “I heard your request from the manager, but I’m sorry, we won’t divulge the private information of our employees no matter what . Please excuse me for being unable to help you . ”

The young man narrowed his eyes . “So you won’t agree no matter what?”

The owner nodded .

“Fine . ” The young man rose from his seat and snapped his fingers .

A finely dressed man stood up from a nearby table and approached the scene, giving the young man a slight bow . “Young master, what is your command?”

“Negotiate with the owner . I want to buy this drink shop . ”

The owner was stunned, but his expression soon turned ugly . “Sir, I’m sorry, but I have no intentions of selling . ”

Stepping forward, the butler greeted the owner with a smile . “Hello, I am Sun Bo . How about we speak in private?” He handed a golden card over to the shop owner as the words left his mouth

One look at the card and the owner’s eyes went wide with shock . He obediently nodded to the butler’s suggestion and led the butler away to discuss matters .

While the corner of Xie Xie’s mouth twitched, Tang Wulin sighed at the farce . “These city people sure know how to play . ”

Gu Yue coldly snorted .

Contrary to her companions, Xu Xiaoyan was all smiles . “So, do you guys think he’ll be able to get that girl’s number?”

Tang Wulin shrugged . “We’ll see soon enough . I never expected to have such a show play out in front of us when we’re going out for drinks . The shop owner seemed stubborn, but that young man is probably from a wealthy family . Let’s see if the owner can be swayed by money . ”

Just as Tang Wulin finished speaking, the butler and the shop owner returned .

“Young master, I have negotiated a price with Boss Yang over here, and I’ve already sent payment . From now on, this drink shop is your property . ” The butler spoke with measured disinterest as if this was a normal occasion .

The young man nodded, flicking his gaze back at Boss Yang . “Give me her number . ”

From the beginning, the young man had not bothered to restrain his voice . Everyone around could hear him loud and clear, flabbergasted expressions plastered over their faces . For the sake of a single girl’s number, he spent loads of money to acquire this drink shop . The shops in Shrek Academy’s perimeter had unimaginable property values . Not just anyone could waltz in . As such, the golden-haired young man’s background was a topic of high discussion for spectators .

Boss Yang sighed, approaching the red-haired waitress .

At this scene, Tang Wulin shrugged once more . “It seems money can sway anyone . ”

A moment later, the waitress walked over to the young man .

“What do you want?”

The young man smiled . “Nothing much . I just thought you were pretty and wanted to get to know you better . ”

Without uttering another word, the girl began unbuttoning her apron .

“I didn’t tell you to undress!” the young man shouted, flabbergasted by her actions .

Snorting, the girl threw her apron on the table . “I quit, so I’m not your employee anymore . ” She turned to leave .

The young man’s smile grew wider as he mirrored her actions . “Even better!” he said as he chased after her shadow .

“I can’t believe something like this can happen in Shrek City . Really, if this is tolerated, then what isn’t?” Xie Xie shot out of his seat and followed the two .

Unable to stop Xie Xie, Tang Wulin went after him .

Even if you want to fight for justice, at least pay the bill first! He thought this as he threw some bills on the table .

With one foot out the door, Tang Wulin felt a powerful wave of soul power rippling through the air, golden light permeating the sky and dispelling the shadows of the night .
