Jin Lingfeng was about to clarify his feelings for Zhu Zhuqing.
But the words that followed shocked him. Could his transmigration to the Douluo Continent have altered the original plot?
Just then.
Light footsteps sounded from outside the hall, followed by a woman's joyful voice:
"Father!"
"Greetings, Your Highness the Holy Son!"
Jin Lingfeng looked up and saw the young woman Zhu Zhuqing!
She was dressed the same as when he first met her.
But the coldness that usually graced her cheeks was replaced by a faint blush and a gentle smile.
The little beauty was radiant and graceful, her smile blooming like a peony, warming the atmosphere around them.
Seated at the head of the table, Zhu Youzhi spoke with a smile:
"Zhuqing, why are you only arriving now?"
"Oh? So Zhuqing, you went to put on makeup specifically."
Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed a deep red, almost as if they could bleed.
She quickly pouted and playfully admonished her father from above:
"Father, don't say any more, I'm ignoring you!"
Then, she slowly walked towards the man who had occupied her thoughts day and night for the past few days.
Zhu Youzhi laughed heartily, his gaze sweeping between Jin Lingfeng and Zhu Zhuqing.
Discreetly, he left through the back hall, leaving his daughter and the Holy Son to have some privacy...
"Zhuqing shouldn't have kept the Holy Son waiting for so long."
"I hope the Holy Son can forgive her!"
Zhu Zhuqing approached the man in white, her eyes sparkling with affection, looking like a young girl experiencing her first love.
She lowered her head slightly, daring not to meet the man's eyes. Her thin lips curved into an excited smile, and her beautiful eyes flowed with sweet joy.
Jin Lingfeng's brows furrowed even tighter. Looking at the beautiful young woman before him, he knew something was amiss. He could tell at a glance that the little vixen seemed to have fallen for him!
After the incident with Xiao Wu two years ago, Jin Lingfeng had been deliberately keeping his distance from all women except his beloved Qian Renxue.
Zhu Zhuqing was usually cold and aloof; why would she fall for him? His head was spinning. What should he do...
"Zhu Zhuqing, you don't need to worry about that."
"Oh? Where did Patriarch Zhu go?"
"I still need to discuss the agreement with him. Please excuse me."
Jin Lingfeng said with a smile, using it as an excuse to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing, anxious, reached out her jade hand and grabbed his arm.
Her small mouth opened slightly, and she exclaimed excitedly:
"Your Highness the Holy Son, wait!"
Immediately, she realized what she had done and quickly let go, her eyes wide with panic and helplessness, clearly extremely nervous.
For a moment, the hall fell silent, and the atmosphere became incredibly delicate.
Jin Lingfeng looked at the beautiful and charming Zhu Zhuqing before him, his mouth twitching.
Was he going to break another poor girl's heart?
But he really hadn't intended to plant the seeds of love...
Taking a deep breath, Jin Lingfeng prepared to explain everything to Zhu Zhuqing. He was going to marry his beloved Qian Renxue next year; how could he possibly delay Zhu Zhuqing at this time? Be a scumbag?
Suddenly, at that very moment!
Hurried footsteps echoed from outside the hall, accompanied by a man's furious curses:
"Zhu Zhuqing, you slut!"
"How dare you have an affair with the Holy Son of the Martial Soul Hall and cuckold me! Break off our engagement!"
"My reputation has been ruined by you, you slut! How can I hold my head up in the empire from now on!"
"Zhu Zhuqing, come out here, I'm not done with you!"
Instantly, Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed.
Endless coldness rose in her eyes, and the face she detested most in her life appeared in her mind.
Jin Lingfeng followed the sound and saw a young man in a python robe, with golden hair, arrogant eyes, and an unrestrained demeanor, stride into the hall.
As if he didn't see Jin Lingfeng, the man went straight to Zhu Zhuqing and raised his palm to strike!
Zhu Zhuqing froze in shock. The sudden turn of events was too fast, and she forgot to react, only able to watch the man's merciless hand in her pupils as it rapidly approached her face...
At the critical moment, just as his palm was only one centimeter away from Zhu Zhuqing's cheek.
A white shadow flashed, and Dai Mubai's palm was tightly gripped by another large hand. With a forceful twist, he let out a heart-wrenching wail...
"Damn it, how dare you!"
"You actually dare to lay hands on me!"
"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Body Protection!"
The intense pain made Dai Mubai's face contort. Golden Soul Power condensed around him.
His attributes improved across the board. He clenched his other hand into a fist, carrying the imposing aura of a Soul Grand Master, and smashed it towards the detestable man before him.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, be careful!"
Zhu Zhuqing's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and she exclaimed subconsciously.
This instantly sobered Dai Mubai. He hadn't expected the person before him to be the Martial Soul Hall's Holy Son, the one who had stolen his fiancée and killed a Level 59 Soul King!
Endless rage roared in his heart. Dai Mubai weighed his options and prepared to beg for mercy.
However, the next moment!
The wrist that was held instantly twisted, blood spurted, and his right arm was directly dislocated!
He was thrown to the ground like garbage, dripping with blood!
"Ah! My arm! My arm!"
"Jin Lingfeng, you actually dislocated my arm, you're dead!"
"Zhu Zhuqing, you slut, colluding with Martial Soul Hall, the entire Zhu Family will face my father's wrath!"
Dai Mubai cried out in pain, clutching his blood-stained shoulder. His sinister eyes, like a venomous snake, glared hatefully at the couple before him.
Zhu Zhuqing reacted and screamed:
"Your Highness the Holy Son, how could you dislocate Dai Mubai's arm? What are we going to do!"
"If the Star Luo Emperor pursues this, the Zhu Family might face utter destruction!"
Zhu Zhuqing muttered in panic, her gaze falling on the blood-soaked Dai Mubai and the arm in the pool of blood. Her delicate body trembled with unease and helplessness.
Jin Lingfeng's sword-like eyebrows furrowed deeply.
He had seen Dai Mubai lunging to slap Zhu Zhuqing, and anger surged within him. He had acted decisively, so what if the other party was a prince?
On the other side, Dai Mubai's face was contorted.
His mind had long been twisted. He roared madly at Zhu Zhuqing:
"Zhu Zhuqing, you slut!"
"You've made me a laughingstock of the world, unable to hold my head up forever!"
"Now, my arm is crippled, my future is cut short, you ruined me!"
"Die!"
Dai Mubai roared maniacally. His weakened body pulsed with faint Soul Power, and he lunged forward with his other arm clenched into a fist!
He now had only one thought: to kill Zhu Zhuqing!
As for Jin Lingfeng, Dai Yuanhong would surely avenge him!
"Dai Mubai, no!"
"Ah!"
Zhu Zhuqing cried out in terror. Her Soul Power was only Level 12, and in her panic, how could she evade Dai Mubai's pursuit?
Suddenly, an extremely evil aura erupted, instantly engulfing the entire Zhu Family. The main hall was locked down, like a living hell!
In an instant, a figure in white appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of Zhu Zhuqing. He extended his right hand, grabbed Dai Mubai by the neck, and lifted him up!
The man was surrounded by evil black energy, like a peerless god of slaughter awakening!
His gaze was cold, domineering, ferocious, and merciless!
Dai Mubai's neck was gripped, and he was on the verge of suffocation, foaming at the mouth. A deep sense of despair welled up from the bottom of his heart!
