Tearful Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Yu and Qian Renxue Take Action

How could he let Zhu Zhuqing leave him without even getting a taste of her once?!

"Zhuqing, wait for me!!"

Dai Mubai chased her all the way out of the hotel.

"Oh? They're here."

Lin Yu looked over.

He saw Zhu Zhuqing running out of the hotel in utter desolation, with Dai Mubai pursuing her closely behind.

Seeing Dai Mubai's panicked and bedraggled state, Qian Renxue understood that Zhu Zhuqing must have confronted him head-on just now. She had not disappointed Qian Renxue.

Gulp, gulp!

"Let's go over."

Qian Renxue downed the remaining drink in her cup and rose to her feet.

The three of them headed toward Zhu Zhuqing.

"Stop right there! Zhuqing! Where else can you run to? Won't you have to face me in the end?!"

Dai Mubai's sudden roar brought the fleeing Zhu Zhuqing to a halt.

Dai Mubai stopped chasing and walked toward her step by step as he said, "Zhuqing, no matter how disappointed you are in me, what can you do? Our engagement was arranged when we were children and cannot be broken off. Won't you still have to marry me in the end? Can you change that?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing completely broke down. She squatted on the ground, clutching her head as she wept. "Sob, sob, sob!"

That was right. So what if she had caught Dai Mubai cheating today and stormed in to beat him up?

Could she escape her fate?

Even if she wanted to run, where could she go?

The Star Luo Empire held overwhelming power. Aside from Spirit Hall, which might make Star Luo hesitate if it were willing to protect her at all costs, no matter where she fled, she would eventually be captured and brought back.

But even Spirit Hall—why would Spirit Hall make an entirely unnecessary enemy of the Star Luo Empire for her sake?

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing squatting there and crying with her head in her hands, Dai Mubai inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he could keep Zhu Zhuqing firmly under his control.

Dai Mubai immediately changed his tune. His tone even carried a hint of blame as he earnestly said, "Zhuqing! Even if you found out today, why did you have to rush in and expose everything? Couldn't you just pretend you hadn't seen anything?"

"You charged in like that and made things so awkward between us! How are we supposed to get along in the future?!"

In the end, Dai Mubai even tried to justify his shameless behavior. "Alright, Zhuqing, stop crying. I was the one who wronged you."

"I was impulsive today and did something foolish, but please believe me. I, Dai Mubai, swear that I'll never do it again. Can you forgive me, Zhuqing?"

With that, Dai Mubai reached out to help Zhu Zhuqing up.

Dai Mubai's entire spiel thoroughly disgusted Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, and Dugu Yan.

Just as Dai Mubai's hands were about to touch Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders—

Lin Yu instantly lashed out with a vicious kick to Dai Mubai's face.

"Fuck you! You piece of trash worse than a pig or a dog!!"

Bang!

"Uwaaaah!" Dai Mubai screamed miserably. His body spun three hundred and sixty degrees, smashing violently against the ground several times before being sent flying more than ten meters away.

"Huh?" Zhu Zhuqing raised her tear-streaked face blankly. Before her stood the backs of Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, and Dugu Yan, shielding her.

In that instant, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of safety and warmth unlike anything she had ever known.

But worry quickly appeared on her face as she said through her tears, "You... you should leave quickly. Don't worry about me anymore. That man is a prince of the Star Luo Empire. You can't afford to provoke him."

Qian Renxue slowly extended her left hand and placed it on the head of Zhu Zhuqing, who was kneeling on the ground. A confident smile rested on her face. "Silly girl, we already guessed that he was a prince, and we know you're from the main line of the Zhu Family."

"Ah? You..."

With his back to Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Yu stared coldly ahead. "Now, all you need to tell us is whether you want to break free from the shackles of your fate, cut all ties with this place forever, and leave Star Luo City."

"But... but!"

Lin Yu spoke again. "You only need to answer: do you want to, or not?"

"I... I do! I want to!!!"

Zhu Zhuqing cried out loudly.

"Good! Then we'll take you away from here. No one can keep you here." Lin Yu's gaze changed. He rolled up his sleeves and began walking toward Dai Mubai.

By now, Dai Mubai had also climbed back to his feet. He wiped the nosebleed from his face, his expression ugly. "Outrageous! You damned brat, you actually dared to kick me!"

"I didn't just kick you. I'm going to beat you too." Lin Yu's face was icy as he drew closer step by step.

Dai Mubai's expression turned somewhat savage as he snarled furiously, "Do you know what you're saying? Meddlesome brat, do you know who I am?!"

"If you don't want to die, get the hell out of my way!!!"

"Even if you were the King of Heaven himself, you'd still be lying on the ground howling today." Lin Yu was incomparably domineering.

"You little brat who still reeks of milk, and you dare act arrogant in front of me! You're courting death!!"

Dai Mubai charged forward with a devastating punch.

"Get lost!!"

Dai Mubai's face was vicious, and he clearly showed no mercy in this punch.

"Watch out! He's a two-ring Soul Grandmaster! Dodge!" Zhu Zhuqing cried worriedly.

This boy looked about the same age as her. How could he possibly defeat Dai Mubai, who was already eleven years old and had 22 Soul Power?

However, she soon realized that her worries had been completely unnecessary!

Lin Yu threw a punch straight at Dai Mubai as well.

"You dare meet me head-on? You're really courting death!" Dai Mubai laughed disdainfully.

Boom!

Their fists collided head-on.

Dai Mubai immediately let out a scream like a slaughtered pig. "Ugh! Aaaahhh~!"

"The one courting death is you, isn't it?"

Dai Mubai's face was filled with terror and pain. "How is that possible?! Aahh~!"

Bang!

Dai Mubai was blasted flying by Lin Yu's terrifying strength.

"What? He actually sent Dai Mubai flying with one punch? He's amazing..."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.

"How can this brat have so much strength?!" Dai Mubai's expression grew increasingly savage, and he finally snapped. "Damn brat! You've completely enraged me!"

"Evil Eye White Tiger!"

"Roar!!"

Dai Mubai directly summoned his martial soul. Beneath his feet, two yellow rings appeared, and his aura surged.

He stared at Lin Yu with arrogant, conceited pride and sneered domineeringly, "Brat, you're finished today. I'll make you understand the consequences of provoking me, Dai Mubai!"

"First Spirit Ability, White Tiger Body Protection Barrier!"

Dai Mubai activated his self-enhancement ability and charged again, brimming with confidence and arrogance. "You won't be able to block this punch at all!!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Lin Yu looked at Dai Mubai as though he were an idiot. His Elemental Angel appeared at last, along with three spirit rings beneath his feet—purple, purple, and black.

At that moment, both Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were utterly dumbfounded!

Zhu Zhuqing was especially shaken. "Who exactly are he and they...?"
