Feeding Wish Begins!

Dai Mubai, standing at the counter, also heard footsteps coming from the entrance and turned around impatiently.

When his gaze passed over Chu Yuan and fell on Zhu Zhuqing by the door, and especially when he saw Keqing's breathtakingly beautiful face, capable of toppling kingdoms and cities, her proud, full breasts, and her exquisite jade legs wrapped in deep purple stockings, Dai Mubai's evil eyes lit up with startling brilliance, and his breathing grew noticeably heavier!

The twin beauties in his arms were instantly reduced to dirt on the ground before Keqing's aloof, regal beauty, like that of a celestial maiden from the nine heavens, and Zhu Zhuqing's icy yet fiery allure!

"Well, what wind blew through Suotuo City today to bring not one but two first-rate beauties here?"

Dai Mubai shoved the slightly stunned twins out of his arms. His gaze first swept greedily over Zhu Zhuqing's voluptuous figure in her leather outfit, then settled even more brazenly on Keqing. A wicked smile curled his lips, one he apparently thought suave and domineering.

As for Chu Yuan, who had his arm around Keqing's waist, he looked no more than twelve or thirteen and showed not the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power. Dai Mubai, long accustomed to arrogance, dismissed him as some ordinary young master from a wealthy family who had no idea how vast the heavens and earth were.

Yet faced with Dai Mubai's aggressive, lecherous gaze, Chu Yuan did not even lift an eyelid.

As though he had not seen the very much alive man standing in the lobby at all, he walked straight past Dai Mubai with his arm around Keqing and went up to the front desk. He took out a round coin of pure gold that he had casually condensed from the gold element inside the grotto-heaven and placed it gently on the counter.

"Give me the best suite on the top floor."

Chu Yuan's voice was calm and indifferent, neither loud nor soft, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.

The front desk manager looked at the red-gold coin on the counter, its purity astonishing and its weight equal to dozens of Gold Soul Coins. Then he met Chu Yuan's deep, tranquil gaze. His head buzzed, and, as if possessed, he forgot all about Dai Mubai beside him. With trembling hands, he picked up the single red rose room card and respectfully presented it to Chu Yuan with both hands.

"Y-yes! Honored guest, here's your card. The top-floor rose suite is at the very end of the third floor!"

"You're courting death!!"

Completely ignored, Dai Mubai's expression turned as dark as could be, a vicious light blazing in his evil eyes!

He had run rampant in Suotuo City for two years. As a level thirty-seven Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder, even Soul Masters of the same level, let alone ordinary people, gave him, the "Evil-Eyed White Tiger," a wide berth.

Yet today, a brat without even a trace of Soul Power had snatched his room in front of three beauties, without so much as looking him in the eye!

"Kid, you dare lay your hands on a room I've set my sights on? Leave the room card and that purple-haired beauty beside you, then get lost!"

So furious that he laughed, Dai Mubai strode forward. The violent Soul Power of a level thirty-seven Battle Soul Elder erupted without restraint, a fierce wind whipping up the rose petals strewn across the floor. His palm-leaf-fan-sized hand whistled through the air as it clawed viciously at the shoulder of the arm with which Chu Yuan held the room card!

He put a full half of his Soul Power into the grab, intent on crushing Chu Yuan's shoulder bone on the spot and showing off his domineering might as a powerful man before Keqing and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted slightly as she watched from the doorway, and she instinctively wanted to call out a warning. After all, no matter how much Dai Mubai disgusted her, he was a genuine three-ring Battle Soul Elder!

But before Dai Mubai's hand could come within three feet of Chu Yuan-

"How dare you! Who are you to show Chu Yuan such disrespect?!"

A woman's voice, cold as frost and filled with chilling killing intent, suddenly rang out through the lobby!

Keqing, who had been nestled obediently in Chu Yuan's arms, turned an icy gaze upon him, her amethyst eyes cold enough to chill one to the bone. She held a high position among the Liyue Qixing in Liyue Harbor and had now entrusted her heart and body entirely to Chu Yuan. How could she tolerate a scoundrel reeking of dissipation speaking disrespectfully to her man, much less daring to look her over with such a filthy, lewd gaze?!

"Clang-!"

There was no need for Chu Yuan to act. In an instant, a magnificent longsword flickering with brilliant purple-gold lightning, Lion's Roar, appeared in Keqing's slender, jade-white right hand!

After Chu Yuan used the Crown of Heavenly Principles to reshape her Vision, and with the terrifying boost from her first Divine Authority Soul Ring, Violet Firmament Divine Oracle, which ignored thirty percent of Soul Power defenses, just how astonishing was the Electro power erupting from Keqing now?

Deep purple lightning instantly coiled around her long, shapely legs in black stockings and her sword's edge. Keqing tapped the ground lightly with her toe, and her graceful figure became a purple afterimage of lightning, moving with extreme speed. Though she had moved later, she arrived first, intercepting Dai Mubai at Chu Yuan's side. With a flick of her wrist, she struck head-on at his grasping right palm with only the sword's hilt and the lightning flashing along the half inch of blade she had drawn!

"What?!"

Dai Mubai saw a flash of purple light, and then a terrifying sword intent so sharp it made his scalp tingle, accompanied by violent lightning, crashed toward his face!

His face changed in horror. No longer daring to underestimate her in the slightest, he frantically circulated his Soul Power. Three Soul Rings, two yellow and one purple, rose instantly from beneath his feet. His first Soul Skill, White Tiger Protection Barrier, and third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, lit up almost simultaneously on instinct. The muscles in his arms swelled as he crossed them before his chest!

"Boom-crack-!!"

The purple-gold lightning of Heavenly Principles and the white protective light barrier of the White Tiger collided with a thunderous crash in the middle of the lobby!

What happened next nearly scared Dai Mubai's soul out of his body.

His proud double defense of White Tiger Protection Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation, capable of withstanding a full-force blow from a Soul Elder of the same rank, was like thin ice made of paper. The instant it touched that wisp of purple-gold lightning, the defense-ignoring law of Violet Firmament Divine Oracle and Keqing's sword Qi, condensed to its utmost, pierced straight through it, shattering it inch by inch!

"Pfft-!"

The violent violet firmament lightning surged along Dai Mubai's crossed arms and blasted into his body, making him crackle all over as he was sent flying backward!

Wood splinters and rose petals drifted down through the air.

Zhu Zhuqing stood by the lobby entrance, her cherry lips slightly parted, her delicate, fair face filled with disbelief and shock!

Defeated?!

Dai Mubai, an outstanding member of the Star Luo Imperial Family's younger generation and the possessor of the top-grade Beast Martial Soul Evil-Eyed White Tiger, had his protective Soul Skills shattered and was sent flying, spitting blood, by a single blow from this purple-haired girl, who had not even fully drawn her sword?!

"Cough, cough... pfft!"

Amid the wreckage and wood splinters, Dai Mubai struggled to push himself up, but his blood surged in his chest, and he coughed up another mouthful of congealed blood.

He raised his head and stared at Keqing, standing gracefully beside Chu Yuan. His voice trembled uncontrollably. "You... just who are you?! How could you break through my White Tiger Vajra Transformation without even revealing a Soul Ring?!"

"A frog at the bottom of a well like you thinks you're worthy of asking my lord's name?"

Keqing gave Dai Mubai a cold glance as he lay there in a sorry state like a dead dog. She turned her wrist slightly, and Lion's Roar dissolved into specks of purple-gold light that scattered into the air.

Had Chu Yuan not refrained from giving the order to kill just now, her sword would not have struck with its hilt; it would have taken the scoundrel's head clean off.

Without even turning his head, Chu Yuan accepted the red room card the front desk manager offered with both hands and reached out to wrap his arm around Keqing's slender, willow-like waist again.

"Why get angry with a wild dog by the roadside and dirty your hands? Come on, let's go upstairs and look at the room first."

Feeling the warmth and affection conveyed by Chu Yuan's palm, the ice in Keqing's eyes melted away at once. She answered softly, "Mm."

The two walked together toward the spiral staircase leading to the third floor.

As they passed the lobby entrance, Chu Yuan paused for half a breath and gave Zhu Zhuqing, who stood tensely to the side, an indifferent glance.

Their eyes met for only an instant, yet Zhu Zhuqing felt as though the young man had seen straight through her soul and the hidden internal injuries in her body. Her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Only when Chu Yuan's departing figure, his arm around Keqing's graceful form, vanished completely around the corner on the second floor did Zhu Zhuqing come back to her senses. She glanced at Dai Mubai, who was beside himself with shame and anger yet did not dare utter another peep. The disgust and contempt in her eyes deepened, and she turned without hesitation, left the Rose Hotel, and disappeared into the streets outside.
