A Frank Conversation, Dai Mubai's Heartbreak

Zhu Zhuqing's contempt for Dai Mubai had reached the point where she no longer bothered to hide it.

If she had never met Su Yu,

for the sake of the team's stability, Zhu Zhuqing would at most have given Dai Mubai the cold shoulder.

But now...

To keep Dai Mubai from pestering her any further,

Zhu Zhuqing laid bare everything in her heart.

Back then, Dai Mubai had fled the Star Luo Empire alone.

Zhu Zhuqing had been furious and full of resentment.

She was angry that she could not control her own fate.

She hated Dai Mubai for abandoning her.

Zhu Zhuqing had never spoken of any of this.

She had kept it buried in her heart and borne it alone.

But now she no longer needed to hold back.

She looked down on Dai Mubai from the bottom of her heart.

There was no possibility of anything between her and Dai Mubai.

To the current Zhu Zhuqing, their so-called engagement was nothing more than a worthless scrap of paper.

She had even become a rogue ninja and fled the Star Luo Empire.

How could she possibly continue honoring an engagement arranged by the Zhu Family?

If Dai Mubai thought he could control her by calling her his fiancée, that was absolutely impossible.

"Shut your mouth! I'm not a coward!"

Dai Mubai flew into a rage.

He was a prince of the Star Luo Empire, after all, and he had his pride to protect.

Yes, he had indeed acted like a coward.

But Zhu Zhuqing was in the wrong for saying it out loud.

When a prince ran away, could that be called cowardice?

Of course not!

It was called a strategic retreat.

Dai Mubai clenched his fists, forcibly holding back his anger.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you'd better remember this."

"I, Dai Mubai, don't have to have you."

"I only chose to pursue you for the sake of our engagement."

"If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for loving someone else."

Dai Mubai spoke in an extremely harsh tone.

He had waited for Zhu Zhuqing all night.

And she had responded by mocking him for being a coward again.

No matter how badly Dai Mubai wanted to have Zhu Zhuqing, he could hardly be expected to stay in a good mood.

When he, Dai Mubai, pursued women,

he had always thrown money at them.

No one had ever dared to make him this angry.

"You'd better!"

"Don't come looking for me alone again."

"Otherwise, Brother Yu might misunderstand."

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't wait for Dai Mubai to get as far away from her as possible.

She had Su Yu now.

Why would she still need a coward like Dai Mubai?

Su Yu was a real man.

Not only was he good at games, he could play for a long time!

Most importantly, Su Yu was very manly.

Although he was a support Soul Master, no one in the Heaven Dou Empire dared to provoke him.

Ever since the day Tang San had been taken down in an instant, Zhu Zhuqing had made inquiries about Su Yu's deeds.

Good heavens!

She would have been none the wiser if she hadn't asked, but what she learned gave Zhu Zhuqing a real fright.

Su Yu acted just like a honey badger.

He thought little of life and death; if anyone challenged him, he fought.

Many nobles had once wanted Su Yu to give them tattoos.

But they couldn't offer him a reward that satisfied him.

Su Yu turned them down flat.

The nobles saw that a commoner like Su Yu dared to be so unaccommodating.

So they wanted to use their power to make Su Yu compromise.

But as a transmigrator, how could Su Yu back down?

Su Yu first went to Qian Renxue and had her deal with it.

If Qian Renxue didn't deal with it, he would settle it his own way.

Su Yu's solution

was to wipe out all the Heaven Dou nobles, then move somewhere else to develop.

Su Yu had Fixed Immortal Travel.

Assassinating those worthless nobles would be as easy as playing a game.

The entire Douluo Continent was like Su Yu's back garden; there was nowhere he couldn't go.

As long as he wanted to,

let alone the nobles, even Xue Ye wouldn't escape assassination at Su Yu's hands.

He had never acted as anyone's dog.

Whoever provoked him, Su Yu took revenge on them.

That was his attitude.

At the time, Su Yu's solution had left Qian Renxue drenched in cold sweat.

That was fucking beyond ruthless.

He actually wanted to wipe out all the nobles in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Naturally, Qian Renxue couldn't give Su Yu a chance to act.

For one thing, if the Heaven Dou nobles were all caught in one net, the entire empire would descend into chaos.

That would be extremely detrimental to Qian Renxue's undercover plan.

For another, if Su Yu ran away, Spirit Hall would suffer a huge loss.

And so, Qian Renxue launched a sweeping cleanup operation.

On the surface, Qian Renxue acted under the banner of clearing parasites out of the empire.

But in truth, every noble who had offended Su Yu came to grief.

Not only did this incident make Su Yu's name known far and wide,

it was also from that time on...

that Qian Renxue sent the long-suffering Snake Lance Douluo to secretly protect Su Yu.

Of course, most people didn't know Snake Lance Douluo existed.

Only Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo could sense that an expert was secretly protecting Su Yu.

As for the man's true identity, Dugu Bo didn't know, nor did he want to dig deeper.

The Heaven Dou Empire was, after all, a nation with a long history.

It was perfectly normal for it to have hidden resources outsiders couldn't know about.

When Zhu Zhuqing learned all this, words couldn't describe how shocked she was.

A commoner Soul Master, and a support-type at that,

had actually managed to reach this point.

It was truly astonishing.

Dai Mubai, on the other hand, might have been a prince,

but the fighting spirit in his bones couldn't compare to Su Yu's.

That was one of the reasons Zhu Zhuqing had made up her mind.

Someone like Su Yu would never abandon his wife.

If Zhu Zhuyun or even the Zhu Family harbored ill intentions toward her again in the future,

Su Yu would be her safest harbor from the storm.

Zhu Zhuqing desperately needed someone like that to rely on.

At the end of the day, Zhu Zhuqing was only a young girl who had been forced to be strong.

If she hadn't been left with no choice, she too would have wanted to live carefree like Ning Rongrong.

To have a happy childhood.

To have a happy, loving family.

Fortunately, Su Yu would have her back from now on.

At the thought of all this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't hide the lingering affection and tenderness in her eyes.

Across from her, Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically.

"Who's Brother Yu?"

Dai Mubai had only meant to talk big.

He hadn't really intended to give up on Zhu Zhuqing.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing was an exceptional beauty, utterly unlike the ordinary women he had won over with money before.

He hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to actually want to draw a clear line between them.

How could he allow that?!

Suddenly, Dai Mubai's pupils contracted.

He noticed something different about Zhu Zhuqing.

There was a tattoo on her right lower leg.

In an instant,

a bad feeling rose in Dai Mubai's heart.

"Zhu Zhuqing, what's with the tattoo on your leg?"

"Don't tell me you went to Su Yu's place when you stayed out all night yesterday?"

Dai Mubai demanded, his eyes red.

He hoped Zhu Zhuqing would deny it.

Because he didn't dare imagine Zhu Zhuqing spending the night with Su Yu.

Just imagining that scene was enough to make Dai Mubai feel like he was about to explode.

"That's right!"

"I'm Brother Yu's woman now!"

"We were together all night yesterday."

"This tattoo is proof that he loves me."

Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of hiding it.

The tattoo was already on her leg; even if she wanted to wash it off, she couldn't.

There was no need for Zhu Zhuqing to conceal anything.

Besides, she didn't regret becoming Su Yu's woman.

On the contrary, her heart was filled with nothing but happiness and excitement.
