The Iconic Scene: Tang San and Xiao Wu

"Let's go!"

"Why wouldn't I go?"

"I want to see for myself how Dai Mubai's been holding a woman in each arm."

Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth as she spoke.

She strode on her long legs straight toward the Rose Hotel.

She had originally been thinking of asking Li Wuyou to extort a little less ransom, but now it seemed there was no need for that at all.

Not only would she have him extort more ransom,

she would also leave Dai Mubai penniless.

Since that bastard still had the leisure to wine and dine in Suotuo City and even brought a pair of twin sisters to get a room, it meant that Dai Mubai, that incompetent lecherous tiger, still hadn't realized just how brutal the struggle to become the Star Luo Empire's crown prince was.

"Heh!"

"There's another good show to watch!"

Li Wuyou chuckled softly, then followed in Zhu Zhuqing's footsteps.

He had to admit, Zhu Zhuqing really was his lucky star.

Not only had he gotten to feast on the juicy gossip of the two Zhu sisters loving and killing each other in the Star Dou Great Forest, but he had also unexpectedly obtained a top-grade, 44,444-year-old life-attribute Soul Bone, and even unraveled the layers upon layers of tangled dealings between the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Nether Duke's Mansion.

Now, not long after returning to Suotuo City, he could watch another lively show: Zhu Zhuqing catching Dai Mubai cheating at the Rose Hotel.

Once he and Zhu Zhuqing went their separate ways, he didn't know whether he would still get to see the iconic scene of Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai loving and killing each other. The thought that he wouldn't have so much wonderfully juicy gossip to feast on in the future already felt like a pity.

Meanwhile, inside the Rose Hotel.

"I say, this room should be mine, shouldn't it?"

"Big brother, it seems we got here first."

"So what?"

"So nothing. I'm telling you to get lost."

As soon as Li Wuyou and Zhu Zhuqing stepped through the Rose Hotel's entrance, they saw two young men and a young woman arguing back and forth in the middle of the first-floor lobby, neither side willing to yield.

The brazen, overbearing man with the domineering tone was naturally Dai Mubai, who had just entered with a woman in each arm.

He had one arm around each of two alluring twin girls. They wore thin, brightly colored dresses, their eyes and brows enticing, their figures delicate and supple as they snuggled intimately against him.

Dai Mubai was dressed in expensive clothes, making a brazen display of himself. His face was youthful and handsome, but a hideous scar slashed diagonally across it from his brow to his jaw.

That terrifying scar on his face had been left by the Angel Holy Sword Li Wuyou had formed from Angel Soul Power in the ring at the Soto Great Soul Arena.

Afterward, he had spared no expense to enlist a high-level healing-type Soul Master to treat it, and had even gone to considerable lengths to find Shao Xin, a level-sixty auxiliary-type Soul Emperor, to help. Yet he had never managed to erase the hideous scar completely, and it had become an indelible mark of disgrace.

At that moment, Dai Mubai wore an arrogant, overbearing expression. Relying on the strength of his Soul Power, which had just broken through to level thirty-eight, he looked down at the boy and girl opposite him, his face full of disdain and arrogance.

The boy and girl confronting Dai Mubai were none other than Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had graduated from Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy and, following Yu Xiaogang's arrangements, had just arrived together in Suotuo City.

Unlike Dai Mubai in his expensive clothes, Tang San and Xiao Wu were dressed very plainly. Even when faced with the imposing Dai Mubai, neither of them backed down.

Not only did Tang San argue his case with Dai Mubai, but even Xiao Wu was itching to have a fight with him.

Quite a few guests in the lobby were watching the drama unfold. A conflict between Soul Masters was not something ordinary people like them, who weren't even Soul Masters, could meddle in.

"Heh... heh heh..."

"Dai Mubai..."

"So this is Dai Mubai, with a woman in each arm..."

Seeing this from the doorway, Zhu Zhuqing's already icy expression sank to rock bottom.

It was one thing for Dai Mubai to spend his days wining and dining, but he had brought twin sisters to get a room in broad daylight. He had no sense of danger whatsoever, so how could he possibly defeat Dai Weisi? This guy was simply beyond saving!

Only Li Wuyou rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Are those Tang San and Xiao Wu?

Seeing this familiar, iconic scene, Li Wuyou instantly recognized the boy and girl arguing with Dai Mubai as Tang San and Xiao Wu.

That meant Tang San and Xiao Wu had just graduated from Nuoding Soul Master Academy and had yet to join Shrek Academy.

In other words, Tang San and Xiao Wu were only two level-twenty-nine Soul Grandmasters right now. Didn't that mean he could toy with them however he pleased?

Especially Xiao Wu!

She was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form!

After all, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast meant a red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Alas!

What a pity!

What a real pity!

After pulling Zhu Zhuqing into a secluded corner to watch the show, Li Wuyou lamented inwardly several times over.

He had already obtained his fourth Soul Ring and was now a level-forty-four Soul Ancestor. It was impossible for him to shoot up to a level-fifty Soul King in a short time.

That meant there was nothing he could do about Xiao Wu right now.

Even if he could catch Xiao Wu off guard and kill her, he wouldn't be able to absorb her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Obtaining a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone alone was worth far less than getting both the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and the Soul Bone.

He wasn't short of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, so he could leave the one Xiao Wu dropped for Zi Yue.

Moreover, the moment he made a move against Xiao Wu, he would definitely alert Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows.

Once he beat the grass and startled the snake, there was no guarantee that Tang Hao wouldn't take Tang San and Xiao Wu away from Suotuo City.

He could refrain from acting, but once he did, he had to kill Xiao Wu and give Tang Hao no chance to react.

Just then, however, Zhu Zhuqing spoke up. "Brother Li, do you know those two arguing with Dai Mubai?"

She turned her head slightly and lowered her voice to ask Li Wuyou, but her gaze remained fixed on Tang San and Xiao Wu the entire time.

She could tell that Li Wuyou seemed to know the two of them.

"Oh! I don't know those two!"

Li Wuyou shook his head and denied it outright.

Tang San and Xiao Wu's backgrounds were far too complicated, and he didn't want to tell Zhu Zhuqing too much.

Otherwise, if Zhu Zhuqing asked him how he knew Tang San and Xiao Wu, wouldn't he give himself away?

Besides, walls had ears. Tang Hao might well be hiding nearby, watching them.

"Oh! All right!"

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips and asked no more.

She wasn't a fool, and she could naturally tell that Li Wuyou was brushing her off.

Having grown up in the Star Luo Empire, she had always lived under others' strange gazes, so she trusted that she hadn't seen wrong just now. Li Wuyou definitely knew that boy and girl.

But even if she knew Li Wuyou was brushing her off, what could she do about it?

Could she force Li Wuyou to tell her?

The answer was obvious: that was simply impossible.

If she dared to open her mouth and pester him, she was guaranteed to come to no good end.
