Capítulo 58: Chapter 58: The Power of a Kiss
"You're deliberately letting Er Ming catch you?" Xiao Wu asked, shocked.
"Yes," Mu Chen nodded.
"Isn't that deceiving them?" Xiao Wu glanced at the others. In her heart, she had already considered Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others as friends.
"This isn't deceit; it's a temporary strategy. Our relationship with them isn't strong enough yet, and the allure of a 100,000-year soul ring is immense for spirit masters. If they discover your true identity, it will only put you in danger. Even if they find out later, they will understand," Mu Chen said softly with a smile.
"Okay," Xiao Wu replied, nodding.
"Follow me." Xiao Wu suddenly blushed as she looked in the direction Meng Yiran had left.
"What for?" Mu Chen asked curiously.
"You'll know when we get there," Xiao Wu said, lowering her head, her face flushed as she headed toward a nearby thicket.
Seeing her demeanor, Mu Chen could only follow along helplessly.
"Brother, close your eyes," Xiao Wu instructed.
"Why?" Mu Chen asked, intrigued.
"Just close your eyes! I have a gift for you!" Xiao Wu said shyly.
"Such a mystery?" Mu Chen smiled.
"Mm-hmm," Xiao Wu nodded.
"Alright." Mu Chen obediently closed his eyes.
In the next moment, he felt a soft sensation on his lips. Surprised, he opened his eyes to see Xiao Wu's face very close to his.
Xiao Wu had stolen a kiss!
*Ding Dong!*
"Congratulations! You have received a heartfelt kiss from Xiao Wu, gaining soul power: 100,000 points."

"Xiao Wu!" Mu Chen exclaimed, stunned.
"I just wanted to tell you that you're in my heart. From now on, as long as the girl I kiss is a decent one, I won't mind," Xiao Wu mumbled, looking down, too shy to meet Mu Chen's gaze. She then ran back to join Oscar and the others.
"Xiao Wu!"
Mu Chen stood there, dazed, reflecting on the moment. He thought to himself, "With a wife like this, what more could I ask for?"
Xiao Wu didn't mind him having other girls, and he understood her condition. As a 100,000-year soul beast, Xiao Wu had her own pride. If the girls he got close to weren't decent, it would only embarrass her.
*Ding Dong!*
"Congratulations! You have completed the task of helping Oscar obtain his third soul ring. Rewards: Skill Points: 1, Soul Power: 30,000, Item: Iron Lotus."
**Iron Lotus:** An item from the Three Kingdoms Legends universe, it is a kind of hidden weapon. Shaped like a bud, when thrown, it bursts open into a lotus, shooting arrows in all directions.
*Ding Dong!*
"The system has detected that the host possesses a Tenfold Doubling Card. Would you like to use this card to multiply the rewards from this task tenfold?"
"No, I won't use it!" Mu Chen replied.
The rewards from this task weren't enough to entice Mu Chen. He answered the system without hesitation.
When Mu Chen returned to the group, Oscar had already absorbed his soul ring.
"Hey, kid, tell us what your new soul skill is!" Ma Hongjun asked eagerly. His tone revealed his impatient nature, which had noticeably improved after days of training.
Oscar glanced at Mu Chen, a proud look in his eyes. He had always been overshadowed by Mu Chen, so he was eager to take this opportunity to show off.
"Let's wait until we get back!" Oscar teased, drawing out the suspense.
"Come on, stop showing off! You think you're Mu Chen? Be careful or you might get struck by lightning!" Ma Hongjun urged.
"Come on, just tell us. Don't keep us in suspense," Dai Mubai added.
"Okay, but promise you won't laugh at me," Oscar said.
"We won't laugh, we won't laugh. Even if your sausage turns into a smelly sausage, we won't laugh," Dai Mubai replied.
"Step aside, let me demonstrate," Oscar said proudly, flipping his bangs back. With a thought, he declared, "I have a mushroom sausage!"
Gathering his soul power, he conjured a large yellow sausage in his hand.
*Hahaha!*
*Hahaha!*
"Your incantation and the color of that sausage! Hahaha, too funny!"
Not only Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, but even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at? When you see the sausage's effects, don't be shocked," Oscar said confidently, then opened his mouth and swallowed the sausage.
*Whoosh!*
An incredible sight unfolded.
Behind Oscar sprouted a pair of delicate wings, as thin as a cicada's. The wings glowed a beautiful light green. With six wings, he looked even more stunning than a butterfly. Oscar, with wings, seemed to transform into a forest spirit.
"Wings?"
"Flying?"
"The sausage grants the ability to fly?"
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Xiao Wu all stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
Flying—what a tempting concept for humans. Just imagining soaring through the skies like birds was enough to make anyone's heart race.
"Exactly! My third soul skill allows spirit masters to fly for a minute," Oscar declared.
"What? Only a minute? Just like your sausage, that's short," Ma Hongjun teased.
"Fatty, what nonsense are you spouting? We've compared before; we're the same length!" Oscar shot back.
"Watch your words," Mu Chen reminded.
"Yes, Boss Mu," Oscar said, glancing at Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong. The three girls seemed to understand the banter between him and Ma Hongjun, their cheeks flushing slightly. Oscar continued, "Although the flying duration is only a minute, the flying distance can exceed two thousand meters! That means I can fly at over thirty meters per second."
"Thirty meters per second? Not bad," Zhao Wujin said, a smile appearing on his face as he expressed satisfaction with Oscar's third soul ring. Noticing Xiao Wu's expression, he asked curiously, "Hey, Xiao Wu, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I... I'm not sick," Xiao Wu stammered, her blush deepening as she felt guilty.
"Glad to hear that. Anyway, our original plan was just to help Oscar obtain his soul ring. Now that Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Mu Chen have all reached levels thirty and forty, let's also aim for their soul rings," Zhao Wujin proposed.
No one opposed this suggestion. The Shrek Academy team continued advancing through the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.
"Everyone be careful; this is the Star Dou Forest, and danger can appear at any time. Stay alert!" Zhao Wujin reminded them repeatedly.
The team formation shifted, with Mu Chen leading the way.
*Boom!*
As they progressed, the ground beneath them trembled. Despite their journey, they hadn't encountered any thousand-year soul beasts, and even the century-old ones were scarce, as if they were all hiding. Mu Chen knew the time for their performance had come.
