"Gulp."
Tang San swallowed hard, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Luo Ye.
He never could have imagined that a tiny place like Suotuo City could produce a monster like Luo Ye, one he had never even heard of before.
Forget a Soul Elder—even those Titled Douluo probably could not possess three hundred-thousand-year soul rings, could they?
His teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had said that a first soul ring could at most be a hundred years old. Yu Xiaogang was a master revered by countless soul masters across the continent, so his theories about martial souls could not possibly be wrong.
Therefore, this guy's three hundred-thousand-year soul rings had to be fake!
After one Soul Impact instantly defeated Dai Mubai, Luo Ye withdrew his soul rings. His gaze swept over Tang San and Xiao Wu, and he smiled as he nodded at them.
Tang San was briefly stunned, then hurriedly forced out a smile in return to show goodwill.
What Tang San did not know was that Luo Ye had already begun making up another story in his diary.
Awesome!
Simulated Soul Skills are so useful. I simulated all three soul rings as hundred-thousand-year ones and scared Dai Mubai so badly that he collapsed. Even Tang San was completely dumbfounded.
What a pity. I still can't kill those two yet, so I can only let them escape for now.
After seeing Dai Mubai's true colors, Zhu Qing surely won't be deceived by him like she was in her previous life. When I suggest taking her away later, it should go smoothly.
Still, it would be even better if I could take Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong with me as well.
They both gave Tang San plenty of help in the early stages. If I take them away, I can definitely slow Tang San's growth and buy myself more time to become stronger.
But in my previous life, I didn't have much contact with either of them, so I can't say I know them well. I can only look for an opportunity after entering Shrek Academy.
According to how things went in my previous life, Zhu Qing will become their closest friend. Maybe then I can have Zhu Qing help persuade them to leave the deathtrap that is Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, then tacitly looked away. However, both had already made up their minds to find an opportunity to have a proper talk later.
Now that everything was over, Xiao Wu had no reason to remain. She could only leave with Tang San to find another hotel.
After waking the Rose Hotel's manager and attendants, Luo Ye had them clean up the mess while he took Zhu Zhuqing upstairs to the room.
To avoid revealing that she had a Diary Instance, Zhu Zhuqing deliberately asked despite already knowing the truth.
"Luo Ye, what was going on with your soul rings just now? How did they become three hundred-thousand-year soul rings?"
Luo Ye spread his hands like a little bear.
"My first soul skill is simulation. Just now, I simulated all three soul rings as hundred-thousand-year ones. I only wanted to scare him, but I didn't expect him to be so easily frightened. He collapsed before I even had to do anything."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded firmly in agreement.
"He really is useless."
Luo Ye's expression immediately became rather strange upon hearing that.
Poor Dai Mubai. In his fiancée's eyes, he had become a useless man, and she was about to move into a room with Luo Ye.
As for Dai Mubai, the Evil Eye White Tiger, he probably had not even woken up yet. After being hit by Soul Impact, even if he did wake up, he would likely need several days to fully recover.
Not only had he failed to enjoy the twin sisters, even his golden hair was about to change color.
The room Luo Ye had taken from Dai Mubai was on the top floor, and it was called the Red Ocean.
Like its name, the door was a vivid red. It was decorated with dark-red crystal roses, and beside it was a vertical line of small words: Red Ocean, the ocean of love.
Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing both looked at the door, their expressions turning strange.
Luo Ye took the initiative and suggested, "Zhu Qing, this hotel is probably meant for couples on dates, and this is the only room left. How about we go somewhere else?"
Without Luo Ye saying that, Zhu Zhuqing might have chosen to back down.
But his words made her realize that if Luo Ye had not taken this room, Dai Mubai would already have brought those twin sisters in here.
Since Luo Ye had already done something like that, what did she still have to worry about?
In any case, in her previous life, she and Luo Ye had already shared a deep, unbreakable bond that lasted until death. And now, she had developed feelings for him as well. At worst, she could treat this as getting used to it in advance.
With that thought, Zhu Zhuqing no longer hesitated and said directly, "No need. We'll stay here."
With that, she pushed open the door before her and walked inside.
Luo Ye watched Zhu Zhuqing's graceful back with interest and could not help praising Dai Mubai in his heart.
Thank you, Dai Mubai, for sending me this little kitty. What a great guy—truly such a wonderful guy!
After following Zhu Zhuqing inside, Luo Ye could not help feeling impressed. Dai Mubai was indeed willing to spend money when chasing women, but unfortunately, this time he was destined to make a wedding dress for someone else.
The room was enormous. The living room alone was more than fifty square meters, and its furniture and decorations were all exquisite, pleasing to the eye at a glance.
Most importantly, in the center of the hall stood a huge red heart made from roses. It covered around two square meters and must have required at least a thousand roses. A ribbon hung above it with a line written on it.
One thousand and one—you are my only one.
Besides that, vases filled with red roses had been placed throughout the room. Their rich fragrance filled every corner, making even the air seem romantic.
As he looked around, Luo Ye deliberately said, "That Dai Mubai guy sure knows how to enjoy himself. He specially arranged a scene like this for those twin sisters, but it's a pity he never got to use it."
Zhu Zhuqing had been staring blankly at the roses, but she came back to herself at his words. After taking a deep breath, she turned to Luo Ye and said in a low voice, "Luo Ye, Dai Mubai is actually my fiancé."
"Huh? Your fiancé? This..."
Luo Ye acted extremely surprised, his mouth hanging open as he stared at Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief.
Seeing his reaction, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been in a terrible mood, nearly burst out laughing.
Hehe, Luo Ye must not realize that I've already seen all those diaries he wrote. He clearly knows all this, and he even brought me here specifically so I could see Dai Mubai's true face, yet he's still pretending not to know anything.
Zhu Zhuqing believed that Luo Ye was on the first level while she was on the second, able to see even more clearly just how much Luo Ye had done for her.
Thus, this little kitty broke into a bright smile.
"From the moment I saw him bringing those twin sisters here, our engagement was already over. From now on, he and I have nothing to do with each other."
