Another Tradeable Target Appears

Another Tradeable Target Appears

Just like that, the three of them spent two days having fun in Suotuo City. By the time they finished sightseeing and returned on the third day, it was nearly evening.

Yin Hao and the other two had just reached the upper floor and were chatting casually in the corridor when a burst of commotion came from downstairs. It sounded as though someone was fighting over a room.

Hearing the noise, Yin Hao smiled faintly. He knew the show was about to begin.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu had not cared about what was happening downstairs at first, but when Zhu Zhuqing heard the words "I am Evil Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai," she finally looked up.

"What's wrong, Zhuqing?"

Xiao Wu asked curiously.

Pretending to be relaxed, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "It sounds like someone downstairs is arguing."

Xiao Wu waved a hand indifferently.

"Let them argue. We can keep chatting."

But Zhu Zhuqing still shook her head.

"Xiao Wu... can you come downstairs with me and take a look?"

Xiao Wu glanced at Zhu Zhuqing in surprise. After spending this time together, she had come to see Zhu Zhuqing as a cold and aloof girl who did not like joining in on excitement. Why did she suddenly want to watch the commotion today?

Before Xiao Wu could answer, Yin Hao spoke first.

"Let's go together. From the sound of it, both sides seem ready to fight."

Zhu Zhuqing did not refuse.

At the same time, today's main character, Evil Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai, stood arrogantly before the counter with two identical long-legged twin beauties in his arms.

"Kid, don't you know that the last room was being held for me, Evil Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai?"

Directly in front of him, an ordinary-looking young man with short hair frowned at him.

Yin Hao and the other two, who had been watching from a short distance away, were already in place. The instant Xiao Wu saw the short-haired young man, she visibly froze, then tugged on Yin Hao's sleeve.

"Hao Ge, isn't that Little San?"

Yin Hao nodded. Although their arrival had booked two rooms at the Rose Hotel, this situation had still unfolded.

Tang San frowned and said, "Sorry, but I've already paid and received the key. This room is already mine..."

Hearing that, Dai Mubai snorted coldly.

"So you're saying you won't give me any face?"

The twin beauties in his arms spoke up as well.

"Young Master Dai~ when are you going to be done~?"

"That's right, Young Master Dai... your little sisters are getting impatient..."

Already in a foul mood because of Tang San, Dai Mubai could no longer hold himself back after hearing the sisters' words.

He stepped forward and said, "Kid, you look like a Soul Master too, don't you? Then we'll settle this the Soul Master way."

"Wow, Young Master Dai is so handsome..."

"Go, Young Master Dai!"

Hearing the voices behind him, Dai Mubai became even more arrogant.

Tang San hesitated. He had not wanted to fight, but today... it seemed impossible to end things peacefully...

Still, he had confidence in his own talent and was not afraid. He nodded directly in agreement.

"Fine. At least you've got guts. Then come on..."

The innkeeper standing nearby tried to persuade them.

"Young Master Dai, and this esteemed sir, my little inn can't withstand such rough treatment! Please show mercy..."

Before he could finish, Dai Mubai cut him off.

"Boss, don't worry. Put all losses caused today on my account, Dai Mubai's."

"Th-this..."

The innkeeper still hesitated.

"Hm?"

Dai Mubai looked at the innkeeper with displeasure.

The innkeeper was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated to the side, not daring to say another word.

"This Dai guy is so arrogant, isn't he, Zhuqing? Zhuqing?"

Xiao Wu called out twice, but Zhu Zhuqing did not respond. Xiao Wu hurriedly turned around and saw her standing there with a pale face and vacant eyes, staring at the scene before them.

Xiao Wu was startled. This... th-this... why was Zhuqing's face even paler than her second grandmother's had been after she'd been dead for three days?

She hurriedly tugged Yin Hao's arm and said, "Hao Ge, Hao Ge, hurry and look at Zhuqing... Could her injuries be acting up again? Her complexion looks terrible..."

Hearing this, Yin Hao turned to look as well. Xiao Wu might not have known why Zhu Zhuqing was like this, but he did—and this had been precisely why he had brought Zhu Zhuqing here.

How could Dai Mubai, who was always hanging around brothels, possibly be worthy of a good girl like Zhu Zhuqing, who had braved danger and traveled far from home just to find her fiancé because of a single marriage contract?

Fine, Yin Hao admitted it—he was lusting after her body. No more pretending, alright...

"Zhuqing? Zhuqing?"

Yin Hao called her twice before Zhu Zhuqing finally snapped back to her senses as though waking from a dream.

"Hm? What is it?"

Xiao Wu held Zhu Zhuqing's hand and asked with concern, "Zhuqing, did your wound flare up again? Do you know how awful you look right now?"

Yin Hao also said worriedly, "That's right, Zhuqing. If you can't manage, you should go back and rest first. Xiao Wu and I can take you upstairs."

Hearing their concerned words, Zhu Zhuqing finally felt a trace of warmth in her heart. Having been born into a miserable family like the Zhu family, there was no need to mention what her family life had been like, was there?

Her parents were indifferent to her, her own sister wanted her dead every day, and even her fiancé had fled alone to this small city without saying a word, barely scraping by while showing no concern whatsoever for whether she lived or died.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and forced a smile.

"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. Don't worry about me. Let's keep watching..."

Dai Mubai in the arena seemed to notice something as well. He glanced in Yin Hao's direction and paused slightly when he saw Zhu Zhuqing, though only for a moment.

Before they had come down, Yin Hao had used the disguise skill of the Blue Silver Domain to make a small alteration to Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul.

With Dai Mubai's cultivation, he was far too weak to see through Yin Hao's disguise and sense the resonance with Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul...

Thus, Zhu Zhuqing now knew that Dai Mubai in the arena was her so-called fiancé, while Dai Mubai merely found Zhu Zhuqing to be a somewhat familiar stranger.

After withdrawing his gaze, Dai Mubai directly summoned his Martial Soul. A massive White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him, transforming his previously ordinary build into a powerfully muscular one.

The muscles on his chest swelled, his arms thickened by a full circle, and the character "King" flickered faintly on his forehead. A wicked gleam shone in his eyes.

At the same time, three soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple—instantly appeared around him, adding another layer of imposing dominance.

"Dai Mubai. Martial Soul: White Tiger. Level thirty-seven Assault-type Battle Soul Venerable. Please advise."

Upon seeing his Martial Soul, the final shred of hope in Zhu Zhuqing's heart vanished. A Martial Soul resonance with her, named Dai Mubai, and possessing the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul—if he was not her fiancé, then who else could he be?

Zhu Zhuqing silently mocked herself. She had risked her life to come here searching for him, facing countless assassination attempts along the way. And him? Had he ever cared about her while he indulged in drink and women?
