Zhu Zhuqing's nails had dug into her palms, and her eyes nearly spewed fire.
She suddenly lunged forward and kicked Dai Mubai squarely in the ass.
"Aah!" Dai Mubai pitched forward from the kick, and the two twins screamed as they tumbled into a heap.
He turned his head, about to curse whoever had done it, only to meet an icy face.
"Y-you're... Zhu, Zhu Zhuqing? Why are you here?!" he stammered, his heart sinking.
--Damn it, this was really a disaster.
Although they had not seen each other for a long time, they still recognized one another through the resonance of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between the White Tiger and the Hell Spirit Cat.
"You still remember me?" Zhu Zhuqing sneered. Two Yellow Soul Rings flashed beneath her feet. "It seems Young Master Dai has been having far too much fun. What an honor that Young Master Dai still remembers the name of his fiancée."
Dai Mubai hurriedly shoved the twins away. "Misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"
The moment the two women heard the words "fiancée," they immediately let go with good sense and fled as fast as they could.
Lin Fan grinned as he rested a hand on Dai Mubai's shoulder and sighed. "Tsk, those two sure ran fast. Looks like they were afraid you'd hit them."
Then he added fuel to the fire. "Young Master Dai, was the threesome fun?"
Bibi Dong stood nearby with her arms folded, watching the show. She suddenly felt that this trip had been worth it.
"Who the hell are you?!" Dai Mubai tried to shake Lin Fan's hand off, only to find that the man's strength was absurd.
Lin Fan leaned close to his ear and gave a sinister smile. "I'm going to be your classmate..."
The next second, Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Hundred Claws struck Dai Mubai across the face, and three bloody marks immediately welled with blood.
The two twins watching from a distance were so frightened that they turned and ran, even flinging off one of their high heels.
They were terrified of getting caught up in it.
Dai Mubai froze for a moment, then flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Y-you've gone too far! Do you really think I don't dare hit you?!"
Dai Mubai ultimately swallowed his anger, repeatedly telling himself that if he wanted to turn things around, he had to rely on Zhu Zhuqing. If even Zhu Zhuqing left him, then there truly would not be the slightest hope left.
"Too far?" Lin Fan cut in. "You're taking two courtesans into a hotel, and you're saying someone else has gone too far?"
Bibi Dong stood to the side, watching the scene with great interest, a faintly amused smile on her face.
She did not intervene. She merely watched calmly, as though she were enjoying a splendid performance.
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and was about to retaliate. I can't hit Zhu Zhuqing, but can't I hit you?
Just as he was about to summon his Martial Soul and attack, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.
Dai Mubai abruptly turned around and met a pair of cold eyes—Bibi Dong was staring at him.
The Soul Power he had just gathered instantly dispersed by half.
Those wine-red eyes carried not the slightest ripple of Soul Power, yet they made him forget even to summon his Martial Soul—this was the instinctive terror of being targeted by an apex predator.
A great spider watching a little white cat...
"Th-this senior..." His Adam's apple bobbed, his voice dry as though scraped by sandpaper.
Lin Fan burst out laughing. "Why are you stuttering, Young Master Dai? Weren't you so imposing just now?"
Zhu Zhuqing took the chance to drive her knee into his abdomen again. Dai Mubai bent over with a muffled groan. "Dai Mubai, you've truly disappointed me..."
"Zhu Zhuqing, don't misunderstand. I was really just playing around with them." Dai Mubai hurriedly explained, but the instant the words left his mouth, he regretted them. They only made things worse.
"Just playing around?" Zhu Zhuqing gave a cold laugh. "Then shouldn't you also ask who I've been playing around with?"
Lin Fan laughed so hard that he doubled over. "Young Master Dai, you brought this on yourself. You deserve it!"
Tears slid down Zhu Zhuqing's face, carrying endless grievance and fury. She had risked everything to flee the Star Luo Empire, a place filled with betrayal and schemes, all to find Dai Mubai. Yet now, all she had received was his frivolous betrayal.
"Dai Mubai, do you know that I nearly died on the road just to escape the Star Luo Empire?!" she roared through gritted teeth, her voice hoarse and sorrowful.
The gazes of passersby turned toward them. Some pointed and whispered, while others murmured among themselves.
"Isn't that Young Master Dai? How did he make that girl cry?"
"Tsk, tsk. Looks like his romantic debts have come knocking."
Unable to save face, Dai Mubai's expression changed. A trace of guilt flashed through his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. "Zhu Zhuqing, stop being so unreasonable! I was just playing around. Is this really necessary?"
"Just playing around?" Zhu Zhuqing sneered. "You have no idea what I've been through!"
"Zhu Zhuyun sent people to hunt me down. I nearly died on the way, all just to find you. But what about you? You're here holding other women and having a good time!"
At last, her tears burst forth. The grievance and pain she had suppressed for so long completely erupted in that moment.
She had imagined their reunion countless times, but she had never expected it to be like this.
Her heart had gone completely cold.
Dai Mubai opened his mouth, but he could not say a single word. He wanted to explain, but the facts were right in front of him. He truly had been indulging himself while Zhu Zhuqing had struggled at death's door to find him.
Seeing this, Lin Fan lost his playful expression and sighed softly. "Zhuqing, don't cry. He isn't worth it."
Bibi Dong still stood nearby, but her gaze shifted slightly.
As she watched Zhu Zhuqing, it was as though she saw her former self—someone who had once risked everything for another person, only to receive betrayal in return.
Zhu Zhuqing raised a hand to wipe away her tears, drew a deep breath, and her eyes turned cold once more. "Dai Mubai, from today onward, you and I have nothing to do with each other."
Dai Mubai's heart clenched. He instinctively reached out to grab her. "Zhuqing, listen to my explanation..."
"Get lost!"
Lin Fan's figure flashed like Gui Mei's, and he punched Dai Mubai in the chest.
"Bang!" Dai Mubai was blasted backward and crashed into the stone pillar at the hotel entrance, blood spraying wildly from his mouth.
Lin Fan clapped his hands and laughed. "Awesome! That punch felt so good!"
Bibi Dong sighed softly, stepped forward, and patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder. "Don't cry. He isn't worth your tears."
With that, she left with Zhu Zhuqing.
Lin Fan turned to follow Bibi Dong and Zhu Zhuqing, but before leaving, he seemed to sense something and swept his gaze toward the entrance of the Rose Hotel.
Tang San and Xiao Wu stood there, clearly drawn over by the commotion.
Tang San frowned slightly, his wary gaze falling upon Lin Fan—this man had sent Dai Mubai flying with a single punch. His strength was certainly not simple.
Because Lin Fan had changed so much over the past six years, Tang San could no longer recognize him at all.
The corner of Lin Fan's mouth lifted. He raised an eyebrow at Tang San and chuckled in a voice only he could hear. "Little San, I'll let you off today... Zhuqing is still waiting for me..."
With that, he waved lazily, turned, and strode away, his back arrogant and carefree.
Tang San's eyes darkened, and an inexplicable sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu noticed that something was off and tugged at his sleeve.
