Chapter 197 Dong'er Unleashes Her Sharp Tongue, Xiao Hongchen Breaks Down
At the entrance of the Star Emperor Hotel, the air suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.
Xiao Hongchen's line, "Not as handsome as me," still lingered in the air, carrying a strong sense of provocation and blind confidence.
He had his hands in his pockets and his chin slightly raised, waiting to see the blond boy's reaction.
Dai Huabin naturally heard those words.
He looked at the silver-haired boy in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.
Xiao Hongchen was indeed talented, but his extreme narcissism and arrogance were really annoying.
However, before Dai Huabin could speak, Wang Dong'er, who was standing behind him, could no longer hold back.
Wang Dong'er stepped forward, her long, light blue hair tracing a beautiful arc in the air.
She put her hands on her hips, gave Xiao Hongchen a stern once-over, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Hey, where did this narcissist come from, spouting nonsense? Didn't you look in the mirror before leaving home? Or are you so jealous of the lively scene around Hua Bin that you're having a fit of jealousy?"
Wang Dong'er had never been one to back down from a sharp tongue. She even dared to argue with Dai Huabin in the academy, let alone a bratty young man she didn't know.
Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen, who was standing behind Xiao Hongchen, was stunned for a moment before bursting out laughing.
Meng Hongchen had always felt that her older brother was too focused on his appearance and believed himself to be the most handsome man in the world.
Today, she had finally met someone who dared to expose him to his face. The girl with long pink and blue hair's criticism was so accurate that Meng Hongchen actually felt quite pleased.
Upon hearing his sister's laughter, Xiao Hongchen's composure vanished instantly.
He turned around and glared fiercely at Meng Hongchen. Just as he was about to turn around and retort to Wang Dong'er, the other girls on Shrek's side also joined the fray.
Xiao Xiao poked her head out from behind Wang Dong'er and chimed in.
"Yeah, dressed all sparkly, does he really think he's some kind of golden soul coin that everyone loves?"
Cui Yajie tidied her long pink hair, her tone slightly teasing.
"Young master, your way of striking up a conversation is far too old-fashioned. If you want to attract attention, try a more sophisticated approach."
Ma Xiaotao was even less accustomed to him. She took a long step forward, and her Soul Emperor aura inadvertently intensified. Her tone was very impatient.
"Where did this little brat come from, blocking the way? Get out of the way. Don't delay our trip to rest."
Xiao Hongchen was completely dumbfounded.
In the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, he was a national idol adored by countless girls, receiving flowers and screams wherever he went.
Today was a disaster. As soon as he stepped out the door, a group of stunningly beautiful girls pointed at him and began mocking him.
Moreover, these girls were all incredibly beautiful, but their insults were also incredibly hurtful.
Xiao Hongchen's face flushed slightly, and he hummed softly.
"Hmph! It's just a fact!"
Seeing Xiao Hongchen's defeated expression, Dai Huabin felt that the time was right. He didn't want to get into a fight with a shrew in front of the hotel and ruin Shrek Academy's reputation.
Dai Huabin raised his hand and gently pressed it down. "Alright, everyone, let's keep quiet. Don't take him seriously."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and the others, who had just displayed explosive fighting power, immediately abandoned their hostility and obediently retreated to his side.
This uniform, obedient action dealt another devastating blow to Xiao Hongchen's pride.
Dai Huabin took a step forward, looking at the furious Xiao Hongchen with a relaxed expression.
"Whether this brother is handsome or not, your opinion doesn't count. Only a beautiful lady's opinion matters."
He paused, pointed toward the group of stunningly beautiful girls with diverse styles behind him, and continued.
"But obviously, there are more beautiful women here, and they all think I'm more handsome. What do you think?"
Xiao Hongchen was speechless for a moment, his mouth agape as he stood there dumbfounded.
He looked in the direction Dai Huabin was pointing.
Zhang Lexuan's elegance, Ma Xiaotao's fiery personality, Wang Dong'er's refinement, Zhu Lu's aloofness, Di Lingxi's naivety, and Ning Tian's nobility—this was simply irrefutable evidence.
Xiao Hongchen turned to look at the only woman of the opposite sex beside him, his younger sister Meng Hongchen.
It seemed that what Dai Huabin said made sense.
Just as Xiao Hongchen was questioning the meaning of life, Dai Huabin's gaze passed over him and landed directly on Meng Hongchen behind him.
Looking at the young woman with long, silver-white curly hair and a refined air, Dai Huabin took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"I am Dai Huabin from Shrek Academy. And you, beautiful young lady, who do you think is more handsome, him or me?"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at the hotel entrance instantly became extremely subtle.
Dai Huabin's words were not only a mockery of Xiao Hongchen, but also a blatant compliment to the group of girls around him, calling them all beauties.
The girls on Shrek's side were instantly filled with jealousy when they heard him flirting with another girl in front of so many people.
Wang Dong'er's back teeth were almost ground to powder as she cursed inwardly.
That damn blond womanizer! I was just defending him, and he was already flirting with someone else!
Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes, while Wu Ming curled her lip in disdain. Even the usually aloof Ling Luochen frowned slightly.
Zhu Lu, however, did not show the slightest change in expression.
She stood quietly behind Dai Huabin, feeling that Dai Huabin had his reasons for everything he did.
Although the Shrek girls were all a little angry and resentful, they tacitly gave Dai Huabin face in this situation, and no one made any sarcastic remarks to undermine him.
Meng Hongchen looked at Dai Huabin, who was standing close by. He had long golden hair, deep eyes, and handsome, well-defined features. His calm, composed, and noble air was very attractive.
Faced with Dai Huabin's slightly teasing question, Meng Hongchen did not feel disgusted. On the contrary, she found the boy in front of her quite interesting.
She smiled generously, her voice clear and melodious.
"Dai Huabin, hello. My name is Meng Hongchen, from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. This is my brother, Xiao Hongchen."
The moment the words "Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy" were uttered, the relaxed expressions on the Shrek members' faces instantly vanished, and a hint of wariness appeared in their eyes.
It turned out to be an old rival.
Dai Huabin, however, remained unfazed and smoothly continued, "So you're Meng Hongchen. You seem to be much more interesting than your brother."
Xiao Hongchen finally recovered from the blow.
Hearing that Dai Huabin had not only flirted with his sister to her face but also praised her while belittling him, his anger flared up instantly.
"Snort!"
Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly, his eyes filled with aggression.
"So what if you're from Shrek Academy? You're not getting the championship this time!"
Before Dai Huabin could even respond to Xiao Hongchen's harsh words, Ma Xiaotao stepped forward and retorted without hesitation.
"Anyone can talk big. Which graduating class of your Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Aca
demy hasn't been trampled under our feet? This year is no different. You can only come in second place again!"
