Flender's office.

Dai Mubai walked in. "Dean, I've come to say goodbye."

Flender's expression was hard to describe. "Mubai, you... went too far!"

Dai Mubai didn't think much of it. "Too far? I don't think so. I'm a cripple now, and it's all thanks to that adulterous pair!"

Flender shook his head. "I don't want to get involved in your affairs, and I don't dare to."

Dai Mubai lowered his head slightly. "For the sake of the bond we once had as teacher and student, please help me one last time!"

In the jolting carriage, Dai Mubai recalled the scene of his parting with Flender and laughed mockingly at himself. He felt like a stray dog fleeing with its tail tucked between its legs.

But whose fault was all of this?!

He had originally been doing perfectly well at Shrek, yet that adulterous pair had gone out of their way to come and humiliate him. Worse still, just because of a momentary angry remark from him, that Jiang fellow had chopped off one of his arms!

Without an arm, he couldn't bring out even seventy percent of his strength. How was that any different from being crippled?

Why?!

Did having strength mean you could do whatever you wanted?!

"But what use is being strong? Can strength bring the dead back to life?"

Dai Mubai covered his face with his only remaining hand, a smile tinged with madness curling at the corner of his mouth.

At the thought that Zhu Zhuqing, that vile woman, was about to lose her head, a burst of pleasure surged through his heart.

"Aren't you two so in love? I'd like to see how you love a dead person!"

"Hyah!"

He lashed the draft beast fiercely with the whip, and Dai Mubai looked forward even more to the sight of Jiang Qianhai raging helplessly.

Once he returned to the Star Luo Imperial Palace, so what if Dai Weisi crippled him and made him a Carefree Prince?

As long as he got back, he would be safe. He believed that a mere Title Douluo still didn't have the ability to oppose the Star Luo Royal Family.

After all, Star Luo was one of the powers standing at the peak of the Douluo Continent!

When the time came, he would sit inside the imperial palace and watch Jiang Qianhai burn with rage yet be powerless to do anything to him. Just thinking about it filled his heart with delight.

Rumble!

A huge bolt of lightning suddenly split the sky, instantly lighting up half the heavens.

Before he knew it, the sky had already been covered by dark clouds.

Dai Mubai looked at the gloomy, starless sky, and his brows couldn't help but furrow.

"This damned shitty weather! Wasn't it sunny just now?!"

Without even thinking, he knew how heavy the rain was going to be soon.

Cursing under his breath, Dai Mubai could only whip the draft beast even harder and hurry on. At the very least, he had to reach the next town before the downpour fell!

With the beast traveling beyond its limits, Dai Mubai finally reached a town that could shelter him from the wind and rain before it started raining. By then, however, the black clouds overhead had already piled up thick and heavy.

Compared with an ordinary night, a night beneath storm clouds was even darker.

Glancing at the beast with white foam frothing at its mouth, Dai Mubai thought to himself that it was time to replace the animal pulling the carriage.

If it was already spent at this speed, when would he ever make it back to Star Luo?

He led the carriage to a stable, settled it there, then walked out onto the street to look for a place to stay.

"Apologies, dear guest, but our establishment has no vacant rooms. Please seek lodging elsewhere."

After being turned away by the fifth inn on the grounds that it was full, Dai Mubai's expression grew uglier and uglier. He only felt that ever since he had met that adulterous pair, his luck had gotten worse and worse.

Two jinxes!

"Fuck! This is damn unlucky!"

Dai Mubai couldn't help but curse aloud, then viciously scraped the sole of his foot against the ground.

Just now, he had lost focus for the briefest moment and felt something soft underfoot. Then a foul stench had risen up.

Those who knew, knew. It was the genuine feeling of stepping in shit.

"Whose dog shat on the main road?! Whose?!"

Passersby were drawn over by Dai Mubai's furious roar. After taking one look, they all moved farther away from him with disgusted faces.

"This guy's really unlucky. There was only that one pile on the road, and he stepped right on it."

"Unlucky? A pile that big—you'd see it as long as you weren't blind, right? If he stepped in it, he can only blame himself for not watching where he was going."

"What the hell are you barking about?!"

The passerby's words instantly enraged Dai Mubai. In an instant, three Spirit Rings appeared, and his aura locked straight onto the person who had just spoken.

That person froze slightly, then his face instantly darkened.

The next moment, six Spirit Rings of different colors spread out.

He pointed at Dai Mubai. "One arm, and you're roaring at me?"

Dai Mubai choked instantly, lowering his head, not daring to look at the man.

The passerby Soul Emperor spat on the road. "If you didn't have shit on you, I'd have taken off your right arm too!"

At that moment, Dai Mubai, head lowered, clenched his teeth, tears of humiliation seeping into his eyes.

Truly, when a tiger left the mountains, even dogs could bully it. He was not in the Star Luo Empire, and he was in the middle of fleeing. He had no confidence at all to shout at a Soul Emperor.

Strength! It was strength again!

Every single one of them used their strength to humiliate me!

When I return to Star Luo, none of you will have an easy time!

Seeing Dai Mubai's useless look, the Soul Emperor pulled a face as if he had run into bad luck, then dragged his friend away.

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and scraped off the thing under his foot, then continued searching for a hotel where he could stay.

Finally, at the end of the street, he found another hotel.

After going up and asking, he learned that this hotel had empty rooms.

At once, some of the gloom in his heart dispersed.

Finally! Finally, something was going his way!

Thinking back on what he had gone through before, he almost wanted to cry.

His pride had nearly been ground away here.

Ever since entering this city, bad luck had never left him.

He had truly had enough!

"Give me your most luxurious room!"

With a grand wave of his hand, Dai Mubai asked for the best room. Hearing this, the receptionist gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry, sir, but the first-class suites are full."

Full...

Those two words again!

Forcing down the anger in his heart, Dai Mubai said stiffly, "Then open the most expensive suite you still have available!"

"Of course, sir. Among the suites still available, the most expensive is the Small Bridge Flowing Water Suite, at three Gold Soul Coins a night."

"That one, then!"

Dai Mubai casually tossed out three Gold Soul Coins. That amount was not small to ordinary people, but to him, it was nothing at all. If he saw three Gold Soul Coins on the road, he would not even bother bending down to pick them up.

The receptionist hurriedly caught the three Gold Soul Coins, turned around, took down a key, and handed it to Dai Mubai.

After taking the key and walking only a few steps, Dai Mubai turned back again.

"Also, prepare me a more lavish dinner!"

With that, he threw another Gold Soul Coin to the receptionist.

He went up to the second floor and found Small Bridge Flowing Water Room Three.

Taking out the key and opening the door, Dai Mubai instantly felt as if tons of pressure had been lifted from him, and he collapsed straight onto the bed.

A moment later, he suddenly rolled over and sat up.

"I wonder how the assassination mission is going."

"With such a high bounty, someone must have taken it already. I just don't know whether that bitch's head has been cut off yet."

It was fine even if she was not dead. It was only a matter of time anyway.

Boom!

Outside the window, rain poured down in torrents, as if it were smashing against the ground.

"Rain this heavy really is annoying!"

For some reason, Dai Mubai felt that this rain was especially irritating.

"Maybe it's because I won't be able to travel while it's raining."

That was the only explanation he could give, and it seemed to be the only one.

Knock, knock, knock~

The door was knocked.

"Dinner was prepared pretty quickly."

Dai Mubai was slightly pleasantly surprised, then got up and opened the door.

Outside the door was indeed a member of the staff, but he did not see his dinner.

He immediately said in displeasure:

"Where's my dinner?"

The attendant bowed slightly. "Sir, your dinner is still being prepared."

"Then what are you here for?"

The attendant made an inviting gesture.

"An important person is requesting your presence. Please come with me, sir!"
