Several days later, Bibi Han, who had been sitting cross-legged on his bed cultivating, opened his eyes. He had sensed a faint aura of the Blue Silver Emperor approaching.
"Tang San, you've finally come."
As he walked downstairs, he saw a little girl and a blond man arguing at the counter.
That blond man was Dai Mubai, wasn't he? Looking at Dai Mubai's icy gaze and arrogant bearing, Bibi Han felt nothing but disdain.
They said Yan was the standard-bearer of arrogance in the Douluo world, but Bibi Han now realized that Dai Mubai was the real one. Still, the two were quite different.
Yan was arrogant, but at least he had formidable talent to back it up. As for Dai Mubai, his talent was decent enough, but judging by that arrogant posture, anyone who didn't know better would think he was some peerless genius. In truth, he was just a worthless scumbag who had abandoned his wife to indulge in pleasure.
No, cheating on one's wife was indeed scummy, but someone who toyed with a woman's sincere feelings was worse than scum.
Dai Mubai had immediately cut ties with all his girlfriends when his fiancée arrived. Without question, he was the latter kind.
Thinking of this, Bibi Han's gaze toward Tang San became somewhat complicated as well.
At that moment, Tang San noticed Bibi Han too, and the two exchanged a glance.
"Not happening. Get lost." The little Rabbit let out a delicate shout. Shortly afterward, Tang San and Dai Mubai went outside to fight.
Looks like Spirit Hall's protection-fee plan was working quite well. What a pity Dai Mubai hadn't fought Tang San inside the Hotel. That way, he could have had someone shake them down for a hefty sum.
Outside, the little Rabbit was shouting, "Xiao San, Xiao San, go!"
Just as the little Rabbit cheered Tang San on, a voice sounded.
"Little Rabbit, don't you know that girls should have manners?" The voice belonged to Bibi Han.
"Little Rabbit? Call me Sister Xiao Wu!" Xiao Wu turned around and glared at Bibi Han angrily.
Bibi Han did not respond to that. He merely shook his head slightly and looked at Xiao Wu with a faint smile. "You like that black-haired boy, don't you?"
Xiao Wu immediately blushed. She looked around before asking guiltily, "H-how did you know?"
"I could tell from the way you looked at him when he touched your head."
"If a girl likes to make trouble for no reason, loves fighting, and has a dirty mouth, boys will easily come to dislike her."
Upon hearing that, Xiao Wu's eyes widened. The shyness on her face faded, and she quickly asked, "Is that true?"
Bibi Han nodded.
Xiao Wu thought it over. She did seem to love fighting and have a dirty mouth. Would Third Brother stop liking her?
Then she patted her chest and said with relief, "Good thing I don't make trouble for no reason."
"No, you do."
"What? When have I?"
"You were arguing over a room just now, weren't you?"
"What? That counts too? Those servants were clearly looking down on us, and that Lecherous Tiger was being so arrogant. That's why I cursed them. How was I making trouble for no reason?" Xiao Wu's face was full of indignation.
"You wouldn't happen to be that Lecherous Tiger's accomplice, would you?" As she spoke, Xiao Wu secretly gathered her Soul Power.
"I'm not his accomplice. I only saw him for the first time just now, and I don't have a favorable impression of him either."
Hearing the undisguised disdain in Bibi Han's tone, Xiao Wu lowered her guard and said irritably, "Then why are you speaking up for him?"
Bibi Han explained, "Although the servants were at fault, it was also clear that the room had been reserved by the Lecherous Tiger long ago. In other words, it was his room. And it was precisely because of your argument with him that your companion ended up fighting him."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with guilt in her eyes. I'm sorry, Brother. It's all my fault.
"That isn't even the most important part," Bibi Han added.
"That isn't the most important part? Then what is?"
"You saw that Lecherous Tiger's character, didn't you?"
Xiao Wu nodded. "He's lustful."
"If—just if—that Lecherous Tiger weren't a Soul Elder, but a Soul Ancestor, a Soul King, or someone far stronger than a Soul Elder, could your companion still handle him?"
"If your companion couldn't handle him and was defeated, then with his lustful nature—and since you're so beautiful—what do you think would happen?"
Xiao Wu imagined that possibility, and her face immediately turned pale.
"So before you speak or act, you need to consider the consequences. Although it's difficult for truly powerful experts to appear in a city like this, you must remember one thing: great hermits hide in the marketplace. If that Lecherous Tiger were an accomplished Old Monster living incognito, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"I understand."
"It's good that you do."
After Bibi Han finished educating Xiao Wu, the battle between Tang San and Dai Mubai also reached its end. Dai Mubai used his Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, to break Tang San's Second Soul Skill, Parasitism, after which Tang San admitted defeat.
When Tang San returned to Xiao Wu's side and saw the sorrowful, apologetic look on her face, he immediately questioned Bibi Han. "What did you do to Xiao Wu?!"
Bibi Han was not angered by Tang San's questioning, because he understood Tang San's actions very well. Tang Hao's departure and his mother's death had made Tang San value familial affection beyond measure. Now, Xiao Wu was Tang San's only family, so no matter how unreasonably she acted, he would never get angry and would only indulge her. And once someone hurt Xiao Wu, he would go mad, because Xiao Wu was his everything.
Xiao Wu shook her head and grabbed Tang San's arm. "Xiao San, he didn't do anything to me. He just taught me a few things."
"Things?"
After Xiao Wu whispered a few words into Tang San's ear, Tang San apologized to Bibi Han.
Bibi Han thought to himself that Tang San was still somewhat better now, at least knowing how to apologize.
Some of his previous anger dissipated.
"Learn how to conduct yourself, so you don't suffer for it in the future." After that final reminder, Bibi Han turned to leave.
"Wait. You seemed pretty happy calling me a Lecherous Tiger just now, didn't you, brat?" The speaker was Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai had heard it back when he and Tang San were exchanging blows. But since he had been about to duel Tang San and display his heroic bearing, he had endured it until now.
Bibi Han paid Dai Mubai no attention at all. Turning his head slightly, he said indifferently, "What, was I wrong? You amorous Lecherous Tiger."
How could the hot-tempered and arrogant Dai Mubai tolerate being mocked by someone who did not even dare show his face? The effects of his White Tiger Vajra Transformation had yet to end, so he immediately threw a punch at Bibi Han.
"Insulting this young master—this is the price." Dai Mubai's face was full of arrogance, a wicked grin curling at his lips. The pair of twins beside him stared at him with lovestruck expressions.
Seeing the force behind that punch, a chill flashed through Bibi Han's eyes. That single blow would have been enough to leave the vast majority of Soul Elders bedridden for months.
Then he returned the punch with one of his own.
Mockery flickered through Dai Mubai's eyes. What a foolish fellow—he actually dared trade punches with me while not even summoning his martial soul, when I've used my Third Soul Skill.
"Brother, go help him."
"No need, Xiao Wu."
At that moment, cold sweat appeared on Tang San's face as he used his Purple Demon Eye, because he could see the power behind that punch. He would not have been able to block it at all.
With a bang, followed by a crack, Dai Mubai screamed and was sent flying more than ten meters away. He crashed into an apple stall, and apple scraps scattered all over him, staining his white suit.
Everyone stared at Bibi Han in shock. Young Master Dai of Suotuo City had been defeated in an instant?
Xiao Wu was utterly stunned.
"A great recluse hidden in the city... Brother, was he talking about him just now?" Xiao Wu stammered.
Tang San shook his head. Could he defeat him even if he revealed all his trump cards? But why did this person make him feel somewhat close to him?
Since Bibi Han still needed to spend some time at Shrek Academy afterward, he had not shattered Dai Mubai's bones.
Dai Mubai's face was filled with terror and disbelief.
"Still want to fight?" Bibi Han asked indifferently.
"No, no."
With that, Dai Mubai hurriedly fled, abandoning even the twins.
Bibi Han walked over to the fruit stall ahead. The owner was crying out mournfully, "My fruit!"
When he saw Bibi Han approaching, the owner panicked and hurriedly apologized. "Lord Soul Master, this lowly one shouldn't have shouted! I shouldn't have shouted!"
Seeing the stall owner about to slap himself, Bibi Han sighed and gave him two Gold Soul Coins. "Is this enough to pay for your fruit?"
The fruit stall owner was rather bewildered by this.
After using Soul Power to draw away some of the unspoiled, better-quality fruit and store it in his storage ring, Bibi Han left.
PS: Between Tang San and Hu Liena, one was the protagonist's blood-related brother. How could the two possibly be compared? The protagonist was not cold-blooded—how could he treat them equally? You could also call it a double standard.
