Bang! Dai Mubai kicked the door open and stormed into the Medical Hall in a fury.
He had arrived outside the Medical Hall moments earlier. Seeing that it was closed, he had assumed that Gu Ye, the physician, had already left.
But the moment he reached the entrance, he heard a woman's voice coming from inside.
The instant Dai Mubai recognized Zhu Zhuqing's voice, his experience with countless women immediately led his mind to something ugly.
He suspected that Zhu Zhuqing was having an affair with the man from this Medical Hall.
As Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, Dai Mubai felt utterly humiliated upon finding her secretly meeting another man. Already ill-tempered by nature, how could he endure being cuckolded?
The moment he rushed into the Medical Hall, Dai Mubai headed straight for the room where the voice had come from. As soon as he arrived, he saw a scene that made his rage boil over.
After Gu Ye had treated the injury on his own shoulder, he noticed that Zhu Zhuqing had been drenched in sweat from the intense pain earlier, her clothes soaked through. Ever attentive, Gu Ye removed her outer garment to make her more comfortable.
And once he removed Zhu Zhuqing's outer garment, the alluring sight of her body was naturally exposed before Gu Ye's eyes.
But Gu Ye was an upright man. He could not take too much advantage of her—just a little was enough.
So, he made a preliminary effort to fulfill his promise to take care of Zhu Zhuqing for a lifetime. He took a blanket and covered her with it, concealing her exposed skin.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing was currently leaning against Gu Ye's chest, covered by a blanket that left her snowy shoulders bare. Her cheeks were rosy and lustrous, with a bead of fragrant sweat still clinging to them.
With the two of them in such intimate contact, anyone could tell without looking that something intimate had happened between them. No wonder Dai Mubai, who had burst in, was consumed by fury.
Anyone who saw his stunningly beautiful fiancée half-exposed in another man's arms would be furious.
What was more, Zhu Zhuqing was unconscious right now. Who knew whether she had fallen unconscious because the two of them had done something?
"What did you do to Zhu Zhuqing?" Dai Mubai glared at Gu Ye with wide eyes and asked coldly, barely suppressing his anger.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Gu Ye glanced at Dai Mubai and replied indifferently. Then he pulled Zhu Zhuqing closer and drew the blanket over her, preventing any more of her body from being exposed for an outsider to feast his eyes on.
"What does it have to do with me? Hmph! You dared touch my woman? You're courting death."
Seeing Gu Ye touching Zhu Zhuqing right in front of him, Dai Mubai roared.
At that moment, he could no longer suppress the fury in his heart. Exploding in rage, he launched an attack at Gu Ye on the bed without hesitation. The instant he saw Zhu Zhuqing's state, he had already concluded that she and this man had slept together and cuckolded him.
Because of that, he showed no mercy at all. The moment he attacked, he unleashed a White Tiger Violent Light Wave at Gu Ye on the bed.
Gu Ye had already been somewhat angry when Dai Mubai barged in. After all, he had entered the Medical Hall without permission and interrupted Gu Ye's treatment of Zhu Zhuqing. Gu Ye was not known for his good temper. What angered him even more was that Dai Mubai was now attacking him without bothering to distinguish right from wrong. One look at the attack told him that Dai Mubai had not held back in the slightest, and Gu Ye grew even more enraged.
"Get on your knees!"
With a low shout, Gu Ye raised his hand. A streak of white light flashed out, forming a semicircular barrier that enveloped the entire Medical Hall.
Immediately afterward, an invisible giant hand appeared above Dai Mubai and slapped down, striking him squarely.
Thud! Without the slightest surprise, Dai Mubai, a level-thirty-seven Soul Elder, was slapped to his knees by the invisible hand, crashing heavily into the floor.
Gu Ye looked coldly at Dai Mubai, who was sprawled on the ground. "You barged into my Medical Hall without reason and even attacked me. Do you take me for a pushover?"
"You—" Dai Mubai circulated his Soul Power and struggled, only to discover that something was pressing him down so firmly that he could not rise. He could only raise his head and glare furiously at Gu Ye, who was holding his fiancée Zhu Zhuqing on the bed.
"Bastard! If you have the guts, let me go! I'll kill you, you bastard!" Dai Mubai cursed furiously without restraint.
There was no other reason: at that moment, he noticed that Gu Ye's hand had actually slipped beneath the blanket, while his fiancée Zhu Zhuqing was under it. What Gu Ye intended to do was perfectly clear to Dai Mubai, a man who had slept with countless women.
Yet Gu Ye merely sneered. He raised his hand and slapped down at Dai Mubai from afar.
"Slap!"
The instant Gu Ye struck, a loud slapping sound rang out in the room.
It turned out that, at the very moment Gu Ye swung his hand at Dai Mubai, an invisible palm in front of Dai Mubai struck him heavily across the face.
"This slap is your punishment for barging into my Medical Hall without permission."
"Slap!"
Another slap rang out.
"This slap is your reward for attacking me without bothering to distinguish right from wrong."
"Slap!"
A third slap rang out.
"This slap is on someone else's behalf."
After three slaps, Dai Mubai's face was swollen beyond recognition. It was obvious just how hard Gu Ye had hit him.
Dai Mubai struggled desperately, but Gu Ye's invisible giant hand held him down against the ground. All he could do was struggle futilely.
"You... bastard! I definitely won't let you off! I..." Dai Mubai glared at Gu Ye on the bed with bloodshot eyes, cursing wildly.
He had never suffered such humiliation before. Yet now, not only had he suffered it, but he also had to watch Gu Ye hold his fiancée Zhu Zhuqing on the bed while he could only lie sprawled on the floor and look on helplessly.
How could Dai Mubai, who had always thought so highly of himself, possibly endure that?
But at that moment, Dai Mubai seemed to realize that he was no match for Gu Ye. Though he did not know Gu Ye's strength, the fact remained that Gu Ye had brought him down in a single move.
He was furious, but Dai Mubai was not a mindless fool. He lowered his head, no longer looking at Gu Ye and Zhu Zhuqing on the bed, and gradually calmed down.
Meanwhile, Gu Ye no longer paid attention to Dai Mubai, whom he had beaten to the ground, because his gaze had already returned to Zhu Zhuqing.
Seeing that a trace of blood still lingered at the corner of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth, Gu Ye reached out and gently wiped it away, then smeared the blood onto the white bedsheet.
In an instant, the pristine white sheet was stained with a vivid streak of red.
At that moment, the calmed-down Dai Mubai once more struggled to raise his head.
Knowing he was no match for Gu Ye, he intended to reveal his identity as a member of Shrek Academy and make Gu Ye consider the consequences of offending Shrek Academy.
But when he looked up, he happened to see that vivid red bloodstain on the white bedsheet.
In an instant, he thought of something. His eyes widened in fury, and his expression, which had only just calmed, gradually turned somewhat twisted.
Without a doubt, Dai Mubai mistook the bloodstain for Zhu Zhuqing's virgin blood.
His beautiful fiancée, whom he had only met yesterday, had slept with another man today—and he had witnessed it with his own eyes. One could well imagine how furious this would make a hot-tempered man like Dai Mubai.
And for an arrogant, overbearing prince like Dai Mubai, it only made him even angrier.
"Just you wait!" Dai Mubai's voice was icy. Suppressing the rage in his heart, his nails dug into his palms as he glared at Gu Ye through gritted teeth.
If he had not been weaker and beaten to the ground, he would have charged at Gu Ye without hesitation and sliced him into a thousand pieces.
Yet Gu Ye still paid Dai Mubai no mind.
After wiping the blood from Zhu Zhuqing's lips, he looked seriously at her flawless face.
Honestly, just looking at Zhu Zhuqing made even the normally proper Gu Ye feel a little tempted. It was an instinctive reaction—he really wanted to kiss her soft, full lips. Especially if he did it in front of Dai Mubai; that would probably feel quite nice.
But Gu Ye was a man of medical ethics. How could he take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state? So, before Dai Mubai's eyes, he used his sleeve to block Zhu Zhuqing from view and pretended to lower his head to kiss her where Dai Mubai could not see clearly.
To emphasize, Gu Ye really did not kiss her. After all, he was a proper man.
Unable to see clearly because she was blocked from view, Dai Mubai, sprawled on the floor, could only imagine what Gu Ye was doing to Zhu Zhuqing. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He roared inwardly that Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée, that she should belong to Dai Mubai, so how could another man kiss her?
He—Bam! Before Dai Mubai could think any further, Gu Ye waved a hand and threw that annoying fly out of his Medical Hall.
If Gu Ye had not known that Dai Mubai belonged to Shrek Academy, where Zhao Wuji and Flender, two powerful Soul Sages, were currently stronger than him, how could he have tolerated Dai Mubai, that scum who had abandoned his fiancée, babbling nonsense in front of him?
Over the years, Dai Mubai had come to Suotuo City to indulge in pleasure, and no one knew how many women he had played with. Gu Ye had merely kissed Zhu Zhuqing once, and even Zhu Zhuqing herself had not objected. What right did Dai Mubai have to shout and make a scene here?
"Now that the noisy fly is gone, it's much quieter at last." Gu Ye looked at Zhu Zhuqing and smiled in satisfaction.
Gu Ye then carried Zhu Zhuqing to another bed and let her lie down to rest.
Zhu Zhuqing, whose Martial Soul had now changed, would not wake up anytime soon. Gu Ye could take this opportunity to carefully observe her condition.
Of course, he was only observing her Martial Soul.
As for Zhu Zhuqing's body, Gu Ye would absolutely not sneak a look.
