Zhu Zhuqing Makes Her Move
"The Zhu Family. Zhu Zhuqing, right?"
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing and took another two steps forward.
His tone was stiff as he pushed aside the twins at his side.
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Zhu Zhuqing reached a conclusion about the identity of the man before her.
If she hadn't met Su Mu when she was six.
"Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?"
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing, his expression vicious, and stepped forward to question her.
"Was it all for this piece of trash beside you?"
As he spoke, Dai Mubai pointed at Su Mu.
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Su Mu's hands itched.
Just then, Zhu Zhuqing held out a hand in front of Su Mu.
"Your Highness, please watch your words."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai, her voice cold and her face indifferent.
"Good, good, good!"
"You latch onto an old man on one side and find yourself a pretty boy on the other."
"Miss Zhu, you certainly know how to play around, don't you?"
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing and sneered.
Ever since Golden Crocodile Douluo had spoken out, even though Dai Mubai was a member of the Star Luo Imperial Family,
he hadn't dared provoke Zhu Zhuqing. Because of that, among the Hell Spirit Cats of the Zhu Family's main line,
there had been none left close to his age.
Without a Hell Spirit Cat from the Zhu Family, he didn't even have a chance to compete with his elder brother for that position.
He had borne a grudge all these years.
Su Mu, standing nearby, heard Dai Mubai's words, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
Su Mu raised a hand and rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head.
He shook his head at her and started to hand her the quilt he was holding.
He would teach this Dai Mubai a proper lesson.
Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips at Su Mu.
She didn't take the quilt he offered.
She looked as though she intended to handle the matter herself.
"Hahaha!"
"Brother, you'll even play with someone an old man's already had?"
"How about this? I'll trade you these twin flowers for her to play with for a while."
Dai Mubai laughed in anger as he watched the two of them.
He spoke to Su Mu.
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Su Mu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Let me do it."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke after seeing Su Mu's expression.
She knew that expression well and knew that Su Mu had killing intent. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had killed those family members with a smile on his face.
However, it was unwise to offend the Star Luo Empire over a prince.
Su Mu gazed into Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes.
After meeting her gaze for a while, Su Mu took a deep breath.
He took a step back.
"Heh! I wondered what you were."
"You're just a piece of trash hiding behind a woman!"
Seeing Su Mu's movement, Dai Mubai continued to sneer.
"Slap!"
A crisp, loud slap rang out in the lobby.
"Good, good, good!"
Dai Mubai looked at the icy-faced Zhu Zhuqing.
Ignoring the pain on his face, he repeated the word "good."
"Since you were the ones who attacked first,
if I kill you here, that old thing from Spirit Hall probably won't make trouble with my Star Luo Empire over two dead people, will he?"
As he spoke, Dai Mubai grinned viciously, and the phantom of a white tiger appeared behind him.
At his feet were yellow, yellow, and purple.
Three Soul Rings appeared.
Seeing this, the hotel manager hurried over.
"Everyone, Young Master Dai!"
"Please calm down."
"Young lady, young man, hurry up and apologize to Young Master Dai."
"He's a three-ring Soul Elder!"
"You..."
Before the hotel manager could finish, Dai Mubai interrupted him.
"Apologize?"
"That's not out of the question."
"Right, right, right. Hurry up and apologize. Beg Young Master Dai to forgive you," the hotel manager hastily chimed in.
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said slowly, "Spend the day with me, and I'll let you go!"
"The people who want to spend time with Young Master Dai could form a line from here all the way outside Suotuo City. Young lady, you're hardly getting the short end of the stick!"
The hotel manager spoke again.
Dai Mubai was very pleased to hear that.
He looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a wicked grin.
Su Mu watched Zhu Zhuqing standing in front of him.
He sighed softly.
Although I told you to grow your chest and not your temper before I left all those years ago, your temper really hasn't grown at all.
Just as Su Mu was about to act,
there was a clang.
The hotel manager flew backward and crashed into the door at the hotel entrance.
Then came Zhu Zhuqing's icy voice. "Why doesn't your mother come and keep him company?"
A pair of phantom cat ears stood on Zhu Zhuqing's head, looking lively.
They added a few more points to her already exquisite beauty, while a cat's tail swayed back and forth behind her.
The long leg that had kicked the hotel manager flying slowly returned to the floor.
"A Soul Elder?!!"
The twins standing nearby cried out when they saw the three Soul Rings at Zhu Zhuqing's feet: yellow, yellow, and purple.
Dai Mubai was also momentarily stunned when he saw Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Rings.
Then his expression grew even angrier.
Such outstanding talent, already a Soul Elder at such a young age.
Why? Why wasn't she his?
"In that case, don't blame me."
"Once I defeat you and kill your pretty boy,
I'll lock you up!"
As he spoke, Dai Mubai's Second Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.
"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
A milky-white ball of light flew from Dai Mubai's mouth.
It headed straight for Zhu Zhuqing's chest.
"First Soul Skill, Hell Stab."
Zhu Zhuqing reacted swiftly. Her First Soul Ring flashed, enhancing her speed.
Like an agile cat, she slipped aside and dodged Dai Mubai's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave in an instant.
A pair of sharp claws grew from her hands, and she attacked Dai Mubai.
No one noticed that the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave missed Zhu Zhuqing and struck the stairs behind her, yet the spot where Su Mu stood suffered not the slightest damage.
"Clang, clang."
After several clashes, Zhu Zhuqing retreated, putting some distance between herself and Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai had blocked all of his attacks.
"Good!"
"Very good. I'm getting more and more excited!"
Dai Mubai shouted, excitement written across his face.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
"White Tiger Protective Barrier!"
As he spoke, both his First Soul Ring and his Thousand-Year Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.
Dai Mubai's muscles swelled, and black stripes appeared across his skin. At the same time, a white barrier of light formed around his body.
"The transformation lasts half an hour. I don't believe I can't take you down."
Dai Mubai snorted coldly and pounced at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing could only use her agility to dodge.
"What? Is dodging all you can do?"
"Then I'll send your pretty boy on his way first."
Seeing that he couldn't catch Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai turned and charged at Su Mu.
Zhu Zhuqing saw Dai Mubai's movement.
The back of her clothes slowly bulged.
Eight spider legs extended from the back of her specially made clothes. This time, her clothes didn't burst apart.
After the Eight Spider Lances appeared, Zhu Zhuqing's speed noticeably increased.
"Clang."
Dai Mubai's attack collided with Zhu Zhuqing's Eight Spider Lances as she stood in front of Su Mu.
Although Dai Mubai didn't recognize the Eight Spider Lances,
he could tell that Zhu Zhuqing's spider legs were extraordinary.
His anger grew even stronger.
"Third Soul Skill, Demon Spider Sharp Thorn."
"Second Soul Skill, Netherworld Hundred Claws."
Zhu Zhuqing used the force of the impact to retreat, and her 2,000-year-old third ring and Second Soul Ring flashed.
As the Soul Skill activated, a layer of purple poisonous gas coated the claws on her hands.
The Soul Skill granted to her by the 2,000-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider imbued her attacks with spider venom and added penetrating power.
When she used her Second Soul Skill, Netherworld Hundred Claws, under the effect of her Third Soul Skill,
it also gained those effects.
Zhu Zhuqing leaped into the air and headed straight for Dai Mubai.
