Chapter 399: Dudu

Chapter 399: Dudu

As Fee Yun boldly declared his intentions, the atmosphere in the room shifted. Everyone present experienced a change in their expressions, each with their own thoughts.

No one had anticipated such a dramatic scene before the celebration had even begun.

The most affected, without a doubt, was Li Wu.

After all, Fee Yun's words were a blatant attempt to poach another's territory.

If not for the circumstances, Li Wu would have already taken action to eliminate this intruder who dared covet his Dudu.

The next most affected was Wang Yuanming, whose face paled significantly.

While others merely listened to the threats and enjoyed the spectacle, the Education Bureau was directly in Fee Yun's line of fire.

Fee Yun, with an air of superiority, scanned the room, looking down upon those present as if they were mere chickens.

"I'll leave it at that. Go ahead and try if you don't believe me."

Then, he fixed his gaze on Wang Yuanming, "As for you, get out of Fucheng immediately!"

Facing such a dominant Fee Yun, Wang Yuanming's expression shifted several times before he finally lowered his head in submission.

He prepared to retreat from Fucheng, awaiting the arrival of the Chief Superintendent.

Wang Yuanming's act of submission did not go unnoticed, and many observers in the shadows found it intriguing.

"I know who has the power and means to resolve the Education Bureau's issues, but I never expected her to use such methods."

"She's using her charms to get close to the Fees and secure their support for her University Alliance Initiative. It seems her plan will proceed smoothly."

"I thought she'd be someone different, but in the end, she's just like the rest. I'm disappointed!"

"How can you say that? This is also a strategy. When she reaches the pinnacle, who will remember, and who will dare to speak of it?"

...

In the darkness nearby, a group of onlookers witnessed the unfolding scene, each forming their own conclusions about the events.

They didn't need to investigate; they could guess the reasons they believed to be true.

In their eyes, Fee Yun, a spoiled young master, had been manipulated by Dudu.

Li Wu, sitting nearby, heard the whispers and murmurs around him. His brows furrowed in tension as he took out a small notebook and jotted down the names of everyone he had observed in the vicinity.

Li Wu didn't care if they had spoken or not; he was determined to deal with everyone listed in that notebook.

Of course, the top priority was Fee Yun.

Li Wu had already written his name in the most prominent spot and devised numerous ways to 'welcome' him.

As Li Wu feverishly wrote in his notebook, Wang Yuanming and the Education Bureau personnel were about to leave, surrounded by the whispers of the onlookers.

Fee Yun wore a smug expression, while Jiang Yuesheng's face was a mix of emotions. Suddenly, a voice rang out, as crisp as shattering ice, carrying a chilling aura that made everyone present shudder.

The one most affected was Li Wu, whose trembling hand caused his writing to skew. However, he paid it no mind, his gaze fixed on the figure that had appeared in the sky.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure stood there—a woman in a tailored suit with a single ponytail, exuding an aura of efficiency and coldness.

Li Wu was stunned to see Dudu standing above him.

Despite his suspicions, he couldn't believe it. The woman standing above him was indeed Dudu.

Dudu's appearance left everyone in awe.

They stared at the woman above them, unable to breathe.

In that moment, those who had scorned Fee Yun and Dudu felt a surge of emotions.

Though they despised Dudu's methods and Fee Yun's sycophancy, they secretly envied them, willing to trade decades of their lives for such an opportunity.

Someone beside Li Wu sighed, "She is indeed a beauty beyond compare, worthy of being called the most beautiful in the world. It's a pity Li Wu died too early.

Such a beauty is beyond his reach, and now she's likely to become another's."

The voice was loud enough to darken Li Wu's expression further, and he glared, intending to emphasize the name of this audacious speaker.

Just then, a soft 'puchi' sound was heard.

The loudmouth's mouth shattered instantly.

It was a sudden and unprovoked attack, but everyone knew who had done it.

Dudu, standing in the sky, casually retracted her hand without even glancing at the punished individual. Instead, she fixed her gaze on Wang Yuanming and Fee Yun.

"So, you two were the ones who made your move within Fucheng?"

Dudu's icy gaze landed on the pair, and even someone as powerful as them felt a little uneasy.

Of course, compared to Wang Yuanming, Fei Bao was much more at ease.

After all, he considered himself to be on Dudu's side.

So, he straightened his body, meeting Dudu's gaze, and gave a symbolic bow, "Miss Pang, I was acting under the orders of my young master, helping you take care of some matters..."

Dudu interrupted Fei Bao's nonsense, "So, you're saying you were the one who took action just now?"

Fei Bao's eyebrows furrowed, feeling that Dudu was being ungrateful.

He had helped Dudu, and now she was acting like this, which made him feel a bit annoyed.

"Yes, I took action. What of it?"

Before Dudu could respond, Fei Yun couldn't hold back any longer.

"Old Fei, how can you speak to Miss Pang like that?

Quickly apologize to her."

Fei Bao's face turned sour, seemingly not expecting his young master to be such a sycophant. He maintained a stern expression, neither apologizing nor showing any remorse.

Although he was Fei Yun's bodyguard, Fei Bao held a significant position in the Fei family, being an Epic Rank 0 cultivator.

He too had his pride, and it was impossible for him to bow down and apologize just because Fei Yun told him to.

Seeing Fei Bao's refusal to apologize, Fei Yun's expression also soured, but he had no choice but to turn and grovel, speaking to Dudu in an extremely flattering tone, "Miss Pang, I apologize on behalf of my senior Fei.

Furthermore, his actions were under my instructions. You see, your celebration is about to begin, right?

I took care of these annoying fellows for you since it wouldn't be convenient for you to do so yourself.

Not just them, but anyone who dares to disrespect you, just give the word, and I guarantee I'll take care of them all."

Fei Yun's obsequious behavior caused Fei Bao to shake his head in disbelief, and he couldn't help but turn away, unable to bear the sight.

The onlookers were completely stunned.

They all knew Fei Yun.

They were aware of his character—a fearless and lawless individual.

He didn't even show this level of respect to his grandfather, Fei Yinghao, one of the Twelve Elders. Now, seeing him act this way towards Dudu, it was clear that he had truly fallen for her.

With Fei Yun's current attitude, if Dudu asked for the stars, he would probably try to pluck them from the sky.

However, Dudu's response to Fei Yun's behavior surprised everyone.

"So, you ordered him to take action?"

Her tone was icy, and she questioned him directly.

Dudu's words left Fei Yun dumbfounded, seemingly not expecting this turn of events.

This also infuriated Fei Bao, who had been standing by, unable to bear his young master's fawning expression any longer.

"Miss Pang, you should know the difference between right and wrong.

My young master has shown you kindness, and you repay him by..."

"Senior Fei!" Fei Yun's expression changed, and he grabbed Fei Bao, fearing he would offend Pang Dudu.

But it was too late; the offense had already been made.

Dudu, floating in mid-air, ignored the commotion between the two and spoke calmly, "I understand the situation now. Two perpetrators and one instigator, causing casualties and property damage within Fucheng. The punishment will be determined based on the severity of the casualties and property damage.

For those who caused no property damage, the sentence will be three days to two weeks of detention. You three, go to the dungeon of Jiangnan University."

With that, Fei Bao was completely enraged.

"Ungrateful! Truly ungrateful!

You're just the Student Council President of Jiangnan University, and you dare to..."

"Boom!"

Before Fei Bao could finish his sentence, Dudu, still in mid-air, struck him with a palm strike.

As the strike landed, Fei Bao's face paled, and he unleashed his full power, acting alongside his summoned beast behind him to try and block Dudu's palm strike.

"Savage Ape's Pinnacle!"

"Heaven-Defying Firmament!"

The two Epic Rank 0 beings attacked simultaneously, unleashing two Divine Arts-level defensive skills, creating an incredibly formidable defense.

Although Lu Wu didn't face this defense directly, he could still discern that even with his strength, without using Slaughter All Lives, he would have almost no chance of breaking through it.

This made Lu Wu worry about how Dudu would handle the situation.

"Wait, did I miss something earlier?"

In his concern, Lu Wu suddenly realized that he hadn't paid attention to Dudu's attributes.

As Lu Wu marveled at this, Dudu's palm struck down.

With a casual gesture, Dudu effortlessly pierced through Fei Bao's double layers of defense, injuring both him and his summon beast.

"Oh crap!"

Lu Wu was stunned by Dudu's powerful strike.

He gazed blankly at the half-air, his face turning cold as he beheld Dudu, who seemed divine in her icy demeanor. Lu Wu couldn't snap out of his daze for a long moment.

He found it hard to believe.

Could this girl before him truly be Dudu? The same Dudu who was incapable of anything and left nothing uneaten? Lu Wu was so shocked he almost couldn't recognize her.

Wang Yuanming, Jiang Yuxing, and even everyone present shared Lu Wu's disbelief.

Before this strike, no one could have imagined Dudu's strength reaching such heights.

She had effortlessly subdued Fei Bao, who was nearly at the Epic rank. Did this mean Dudu was approaching the Epic rank herself, perhaps even capable of facing Epic-ranked beings? They were also bewildered as to why Dudu had acted.

No matter how they looked at it, this was the most irrational behavior.

Given her current situation, shouldn't she be seeking more allies? By striking Fei Bao, she had humiliated Fei Yun right then and there, making him a laughingstock.

Fei Yun might have turned dark right then and there. Well, that concern seemed unnecessary.

People witnessed that after Dudu struck Fei Bao, Fei Yun's first reaction wasn't anger but an anxious explanation to Dudu. He even promised to have Fei Bao imprisoned, seeking Dudu's forgiveness.

This caused the onlookers to shake their heads) Even after such a public humiliation, he still acted this way.

This guy was beyond saving.

The crowd shook their heads, except for Lu Wu, whose gaze remained fixed on Fei Yun.

Lu Wu decided Fei Yun had to die.

As Lu Wu plotted Fei Yun's demise, he suddenly felt a gaze upon him.

Lu Wu froze, then looked up to find Dudu staring at him.

Their eyes met in that instant.

Lu Wu's mind went blank.

Dudu's expression remained cold, and she averted her gaze after their brief eye contact.

Lu Wu felt incredibly uncomfortable.

It was like a knife to his heart, causing him to breathe with difficulty, gasping for air.

He now strongly suspected that this Dudu before him wasn't the same as the Dudu he knew.

She couldn't be so cold to him.

How to put it? The favored one always has no fear.

When he was with Dudu before, Lu Wu didn't cherish her enough. Now, a mere glance or expression from Dudu could leave him unsettled for a long time.

In contrast, Dudu remained calm.

After withdrawing her gaze, she ordered Fei Bao, Fei Yun, and Wang Yuanming to be thrown into the dungeon and then left.

Lu Wu stared blankly as Dudu departed.

Only when Dudu's silhouette disappeared did Lu Wu dejectedly prepare to return.

But his heart was restless and turbulent.

He almost made a mistake on his way back.

"Damn it!"

Lu Wu knew that if he returned like this, he wouldn't get a good night's sleep.

So, he took out the small notebook he had.

He flipped through it, searching for the names he had highlighted.

After venting his frustration on a few of them, his agitation lessened, but he still felt better.

Thus, with his emotions under control, he headed back.

But upon his return, Lu Wu's restlessness persisted.

After sitting for a while, Lu Wu stood up. "I can't take it anymore! I have to go find her!"

Just as Lu Wu was about to head to Jiangnan University, a silly laugh sounded.

Lu Wu froze, then turned around sharply, only to find a girl behind him, giggling at him.

Seeing this giggling girl, Lu Wu's restless heart instantly calmed. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

But remembering Dudu's coldness, Lu Wu suppressed his smile and prepared to question the girl.

However, before he could, the girl pounced on him.

Caught off guard, Lu Wu was pushed onto the bed...
