This Pretty Boy Was Playing the Fool to Catch the Tiger!

The old man shoved Qin Shou aside and turned to look at Qian Renxue, his eyes gleaming with deep greed, the desire within them utterly undisguised.

He was Qin Yu, a marquis of the Heaven Dou Empire, with Prince Xue Xing backing him.

Yet even with such a high status, he had never seen a woman of such beauty. But that did not matter. Since he had encountered her now, he would certainly make her his.

Mu Zhe and Qian Renxue looked over at the sound and saw two men dressed like dogs staring at them, the wicked intentions in their eyes completely unconcealed.

Qian Renxue's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and disgust rose in her heart. Sure enough, not every man was as charming as Mu Zhe.

The two men before her were the ugliest kind.

Naturally, she knew this Qin Yu. He was Prince Xue Xing's lackey and also the head of an aristocratic family.

After she had confirmed her identity as the Crown Prince, many nobles had come to pledge their allegiance. Yet Qin Yu stubbornly refused to change, insisting on following Prince Xue Xing for temporary gains.

Originally, Qian Renxue had merely loathed this man, but now a faint killing intent arose in her heart. Keeping him alive was useless anyway.

Of course, the main reason was that his gaze was disgusting, making Qian Renxue deeply uncomfortable.

"Does he know me?"

Yao Fu's face suddenly turned deathly pale, his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets as a mouthful of blood surged up his throat.

But he was not!

A faint glow flickered through Mu Zhe's eyes once more, but at that moment, Qin Shou's son stepped forward and blocked Mu Zhe's path.

Soul Power surged through Mu Zhe's body, and he vanished from where he stood. In the next instant, Qin Yu was startled by Mu Zhe, who had suddenly appeared behind him. In his panic, he hurriedly struck out as his first Spirit Ring flashed.

When Yao Fu and his son saw Mu Zhe and Qian Renxue walking toward them, satisfied smiles appeared on their faces.

She hurriedly circulated her Soul Power. A pair of hazy golden wings appeared behind her, and with a burst of Soul Power, the spilled wine was instantly blasted away.

It had been many years since anyone had dared to disregard them like this.

But this pretty boy had clearly held back. Otherwise, the two bursts of Soul Power within his body alone would have been enough to reduce him to ashes.

Qin Shou staggered up to the two of them, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and smashed it toward Qian Renxue's head.

Mu Zhe and Qian Renxue frowned. Soul Power likewise surged around them, scattering that oppressive aura before they turned around.

Better leave the showing off to Father.

"Hehe, I am your opponent. Now, you can only quietly watch them fight—or listen to me reason with you!"

Pfft!

But Qin Shou was so drunk that he noticed nothing. Instead, Qian Renxue's extraordinary beauty only made him more excited.

For a moment, the two streams of Soul Power clashed against each other. Yet before long, Qian Renxue actually began to show signs of weakness.

One of his companions slapped him across the head and hurriedly dragged him away. "Are you tired of living? How dare you casually discuss those important people here?"

"Ah! I have learned my lesson!"

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes burned with anger. This was the first time she had seen someone so shameless. He had actually tried to smash someone with a wine bottle, and after failing, he broke it to splash them with wine.

For some inexplicable reason, those two Dragon Shadows made even him, a Soul Sage, feel deeply uneasy.

At this moment, quite a few people on the street noticed the disturbance and immediately let out cries of alarm, though their feet instinctively carried them away from the area.

"A mere Soul King dares to show off in front of me."

Qin Shou instantly flew into a rage and turned toward Qian Renxue. A fierce light filled his eyes, and a powerful wave of Soul Power inexplicably emerged around his body.

The smiles on Qin Shou and Yao Fu's faces gradually froze before turning grim.

A heart-rending pain came from his lower abdomen, but what hurt even more were the two streams of Soul Power wreaking havoc inside his body.

Everyone except the person who had cried out in shock earlier.

At that moment, however, a mocking glint flashed through Qin Shou's eyes. He flicked out a streak of green Soul Power that struck the wine bottle dead-on. The bottle immediately exploded, scattering the wine inside.

Mu Zhe felt somewhat speechless. This farce was impossible to avoid after all.

A faint glow suddenly flowed through Mu Zhe's eyes, and the shadow beneath his feet was about to pounce out. But at that moment, Qian Renxue moved before him. Killing intent flashed through her beautiful eyes, and golden light seemed to bloom within them.

But could an old man in his eighties even get it up anymore?

"Damn! In broad daylight, he actually dares to forcibly seize a civilian woman! Is there no law? No justice?"

Mu Zhe snorted disdainfully. Ignoring Yao Fu, who lay on the ground groaning weakly, he instead looked toward Qin Shou and Qian Renxue.

Judging by the attire and bearing of these two young people, they were clearly no ordinary individuals.

At that thought, he felt a surge of delight. Today's task would soon be complete.

But after hearing the discussions around him, he suddenly understood. So this old man was a pervert!

Qian Renxue's eyes darkened, and she was clearly about to be unable to hold on any longer. But just then, two Dragon Shadows appeared in her line of sight, attacking Qin Shou from the left and right.

But at that moment, that pretty boy actually disregarded all honor and launched a sneak attack!

Then again, not everyone could fight opponents above their rank.

"Did you two not hear me? Stop right there!"

For an instant, a flicker of emotion passed through Qian Renxue's heart. It had been a long time since she had experienced the feeling of being protected.

So Lord Qin enjoyed the process of that kind of perverse thing!

"Hehe, then you understand, don't you? Lord Qin, I... just love beautiful women!"

Mu Zhe was somewhat surprised. Wasn't this sort of being harassed the moment one stepped outside reserved exclusively for the chosen sons of fate?

Hehe!

One of them chuckled, his gaze toward Qian Renxue equally cold. However, he did not dare snatch Qin Shou's prey.

Still, a simple contest of Soul Power would not do.

"Huh? Lord Qin is fighting that man?"

Mu Zhe glanced at the girl beside him. Oh, so there was a beauty by his side. No wonder.

But Qin Shou was no pushover either. A pair of green wings sprouted from his back as Soul Power surged, blowing the wine back.

Wherever a chosen son of fate went, he would be met with the same sneering contempt, before finally displaying his strength and slapping faces to show off.

Panic flashed through Qin Shou's eyes. Already frustrated that he had yet to take down the woman before him, he had not expected his son to be defeated by that pretty boy in a single exchange. He could only increase his Soul Power output.

But very soon, he would ruin that face!

"Then there's no need for us to bother with them. Let's go straight inside."

His Martial Soul was the Emerald Demon Bird, granting him the ability to control the wind.

Still, having him deal with this pretty boy was not bad either.

Mu Zhe sighed softly. Sure enough, he still had to step in at the critical moment.

Judging from their bearing alone, it was clear they were powerful nobles no one could afford to provoke.

This old man actually dared compete with him for prey?

Not only was he of noble status, but he was also a Soul Sage!

He truly was interested in the little girl before him. In fact, the fiercer she was, the more he liked her.

A mocking smile appeared on Qin Yu's face. He rubbed his hands together and stretched his body before a pair of green wings suddenly grew from his back, while seven Spirit Rings rose beneath his feet.

"I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?"

"I don't know them."

They said Qin Shou had some sort of serious illness—if he did not snatch a woman every day, he would feel miserable all over.

Qian Renxue shook her head, concealing the killing intent in her eyes as she replied calmly.

At this point, Qian Renxue could no longer resist and was about to use Martial Soul Possession.

Originally, he had wanted to deal with that woman himself and snatch her away right in front of his father. But now, it seemed that woman was no weaker than he was.

Anger flashed through Mu Zhe's heart, and he nearly laughed in fury. A Soul King was showing off in front of him?

He really did look like a pretty boy.

This pretty boy was pretending to be weak!

In Heaven Dou City, few people dared refuse him any respect, much less in the cities around Heaven Dou City.

Even his Soul Sage father could not knock him half to death with a single punch.

Several officials upstairs in the tavern noticed the commotion below and pressed their fat bodies toward the window.

That was right. He had long sensed that Qin Shou was a level seventy-one Soul Sage, surpassing Qian Renxue by an entire major realm.

She froze slightly and turned her gaze toward Mu Zhe in the distance. Ice and Fire Seven Colors swirled within his eyes, and those two Dragon Shadows had been unleashed by him.

"Hey, you're being too shallow-minded. Lord Qin is a Soul Sage—what kind of person could he not handle? If you go down to help, your bootlicking will be far too obvious. Yao Fu will not appreciate it."

Yet the concerns in his heart were far more complicated than those of the bystanders.

Then the two of them raised their feet and walked forward, but a trace of mockery flashed through Mu Zhe's eyes.

"That's right, stop right there! Otherwise, you'll suffer the consequences. Do you know who we are? Do you know how strong we are?"

At this point, not only the passersby, but even the tavern owner's expression changed drastically.

That pretty boy was outrageously handsome. Just looking at him made Qin Shou jealous!

He was more knowledgeable than his companion and recognized the elderly Qin Shou at a glance. He was a notorious local tyrant who often forcibly seized civilian women.

In truth, if Qian Renxue went all out, she could still kill a level seventy-one Soul Sage. However, when he used his Martial Soul Avatar, she would need to avoid his edge.

He had attacked Qian Renxue first because he sensed that her Soul Power was higher. As for the pretty boy beside her, it seemed... he could not sense anything from him at all.

Damn it!

The next moment, a burst of golden Soul Power erupted instantly, knocking the wine bottle away.

Her father, Qian Renxue, had died early. Her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had withdrawn from the world, while her mother, Bibi Dong, did not love her.

Even with Qian Renxue's extraordinary talent, it was difficult for her to cross an entire major realm, especially when Soul Emperor and Soul Sage marked such a dividing line.

However, Mu Zhe's fist had already struck out, wrapped in Ice and Fire Seven Colors. The tremendous force carried the power of ultimate ice and fire into Qin Shou's body.

Damn it... he deserved to die!

"You're talking reason with him...!"

But they still had to teach them a lesson, especially in front of that pale-faced man at her side, and finally force the two apart.

"Should we go up and help?"

But everyone had to bear witness for me—I was just a lousy wine seller. This had nothing to do with me.

However, as Mu Zhe and Qian Renxue walked past them, they did not spare them a single glance from beginning to end.

Yao Fu shouted sharply, and the son beside him chimed in at that moment.
