"Blue Silver Entanglement!"

"Parasitism!"

Blue Silver Grass spread across Dai Mubai's body, but under the effects of his third soul skill, it failed to produce much of an effect.

There was no helping it. The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was simply too weak by nature to compare with the White Tiger Martial Soul, and there was also the gap in cultivation.

After all, giving a martial soul like Blue Silver Grass, whose base strength was clearly lacking, an Entangle soul skill was truly a "genius" idea.

Still, Dai Mubai did not have it easy either.

His clothes had been torn in several places.

Given the difference between the White Tiger Martial Soul and the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, along with the additional thousand-year soul ring, this should not have happened at all.

It could only be said that Dai Mubai's combat ability was truly terrible.

When Dai Mubai took the initiative to stop the fight, Tang San silently withdrew the Hidden Weapons he had prepared to release from within his sleeves.

He had truly wanted to take Dai Mubai's life!

In Tang San's eyes, Dai Mubai had tried to take their room, which was more than enough reason for him to die!

But since Dai Mubai had chosen to back down on his own, there was no need for Tang San to continue attacking.

It was not because he was merciful.

Tang San had always been the type to hold grudges over the smallest slight.

He simply felt that Dai Mubai was dressed extravagantly and had already reached Soul Elder cultivation at such a young age. Perhaps he had some powerful background, so unless absolutely necessary, it was better not to offend him.

The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record said:

Squeeze the soft persimmon.

Otherwise, if some fellow who looked like he had no background had offended him, Tang San would have made sure he died properly.

After saying that Tang San and the other would be waiting for him at Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai left with his arms around the two scantily dressed twin sisters.

Not far away,

Zhu Zhuqing had witnessed everything.

Her fair, lovely face remained cold, while her dark eyes were filled with disappointment.

Everything she had just seen had left her completely disappointed in her so-called fiancé.

The frivolous figure walking away with his arms around the twin sisters was unbearably glaring.

Zhu Zhuqing did not particularly care how many women Dai Mubai had outside.

Having been born into the Star Luo Zhu Family, she was accustomed to such things.

But Dai Mubai's attitude disappointed her.

After all, their identities were anything but ordinary.

The rules of the Star Luo Empire, where they raised heirs like poisonous insects, constantly threatened their lives.

Yet Dai Mubai seemed to have completely given up on himself, indulging in pleasure and debauchery.

As for how poor he was in battle, it was clear from how miserably a two-ringed Soul Master with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had just battered him.

This was not only irresponsibility toward himself. It also showed that he did not care about her, his fiancée, in the slightest.

Just like when he had fled Star Luo alone back then.

At this rate, once the appointed time arrived, they would undoubtedly lose.

In a daze,

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to see that figure in white before her again.

The handsome, elegant youth, like an immortal cast down from heaven, commanded an unrivaled army with effortless strategies.

With a gentle flick of his wrist and the slightest movement of his sword, he could kill the assassins who had driven her into a desperate situation.

That sliver of white-clad brilliance appeared even more stunning in contrast to Dai Mubai.

If her fiancé had been Luo Li, would things still have turned out this way...

The answer was obvious.

Unfortunately, her fiancé was Dai Mubai, who had abandoned himself to wine and women.

He was not Luo Li, King Frost Extreme, who had been made a king in his youth and possessed the spirited bearing of a celestial being.

Zhu Zhuqing took a soft breath, her ample chest rising and falling.

She had already made up her mind.

She would no longer place her hopes on Dai Mubai, her so-called fiancé.

Nor would she abandon herself as he had.

She would continue to resist that damned fate!

Even if it would ultimately end in sorrow.

As for Suotuo City...

Her purpose in coming had already been fulfilled, and she had made her decision. There was no need to remain any longer.

Zhu Zhuqing started walking toward the city gates.

The dim afterglow of the setting sun outlined the girl's slender back.

It stretched her shadow farther and farther.

The road ahead was long and without light. She could only rely on herself to walk it step by step.

Dai Mubai, who was leaving with his arms around the twins, suddenly felt a pang in his heart, as if he had lost something.

But he paid it no mind. Shaking his head, he turned his attention back to the twin sisters at his side, a lewd expression on his face.

He would never know that his fiancée had come, only to leave in complete disappointment.

"Crown Prince."

Seeing Qian Renxue standing before him with a bright smile, Luo Li felt a headache coming on.

Ever since he had made things clear when they parted that day, Qian Renxue had put aside much of her hostility toward him.

That was naturally a good thing.

At the very least, he no longer had to worry about a Limit Douluo wielding an Angel Sword suddenly appearing to assassinate him.

But the problem was...

Qian Renxue seemed a little too friendly toward him.

Because of his engagement to Xue Ke, Qian Renxue had been using her status as his future brother-in-law to come to Luo Manor these past few days.

The main issue was that her attitude was impeccable, and she always had a reason for visiting, leaving Luo Li without a good excuse to send her away.

Early that morning, just after he had finished practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, he once again heard the maid announce, "Crown Prince has come to visit."

Qian Renxue visited Luo Manor even more frequently than Xue Ke, Luo Li's fiancée.

"Brother Luo, good morning."

As though she had not noticed the trace of annoyance in Luo Li's eyes at all, Qian Renxue continued greeting him with a smile.

Luo Li's frank declaration that he had no interest in that position had not merely caused Qian Renxue to set aside her hostility toward him. It had also reignited her desire to conquer him.

Conquering the only genius among the younger generation of the Soul Master world who could surpass her held enormous appeal for a woman with Qian Renxue's personality.

That was why she had constantly found all kinds of excuses to visit Luo Manor and interact with Luo Li during this time. She wanted to use her personal charm to conquer Luo Li and make him serve her.

Although Luo Li still treated her neither warmly nor coldly, Qian Renxue was not discouraged.

She believed that as long as she put in enough effort, nothing was impossible!

"Crown Prince, what brings you here again?" Luo Li sighed helplessly.

He had made it so obvious. How could this woman not feel even the slightest embarrassment?

"Crown Prince, you visit me so frequently. Aren't you worried about His Majesty?"

The Crown Prince frequently visiting a Prince of Different Surname who held military power—Xue Ye would be strange not to grow suspicious.

The two of them had fame and ability. Even raising an army in rebellion would seem perfectly natural!

Hadn't those old men at the recent court assemblies already begun bringing this matter up?

Yet Qian Renxue seemed completely unaware of this, still smiling as she said:

"Brother Luo, I actually came this time to deliver an order from Father Emperor."

Luo Li froze. Why was there another matter?

Could there be another war somewhere?

After years of campaigns, his first thought was that war was about to break out.

Otherwise, other matters would not trouble him, King Frost Extreme.

"What is it?" Luo Li asked.

Qian Renxue took out a document and handed it to Luo Li.

She said softly:

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
