Aside from Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, and the others, everyone was watching the show.
They did not understand what was going on with Dai Mubai, but Dai Mubai was the "senior" brother. There had to be a reason for what he was doing.
Bullying someone was still somewhat entertaining.
"Zhuqing, those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre!"
Ma Hongjun said to Zhu Zhuqing with a grin.
"Yeah, the dean taught us that. Look, aren't the dean and teachers watching the show too?"
Oscar pointed at Flender and the others as he spoke with a smile.
Zhongli was just an ordinary person. So what if they bullied him?
He had such a Martial Soul but no Soul Power. He deserved to be bullied!
"W-We're not ordinary people!"
"Zhongli is..."
At that point, Paimon seemed to remember something. She paused before continuing, "We're Crown Prince's Mansion Guest Officials!"
"Even His Highness the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe treats us with courtesy!"
Having said that, Paimon seemed to have swallowed a reassurance pill. She flew out from behind Zhongli, put her hands on her hips, and struck a proud little pose.
"?"
Everyone was stunned. Zhongli was actually a Crown Prince's Mansion Guest Official?
He had no Soul Power, yet the Crown Prince's Mansion treated him with courtesy?
This...
Could this little fellow be making it up?
"What kind of Guest Official nonsense is that!"
"I'm the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, then!"
Dai Mubai wore a disdainful expression as he thought to himself.
If Corrosion had not worn away so much of Zhongli's temperament, there was no way this group would still be standing.
How arrogant had Morax been during the God-Devil War?
Even when meeting the Heavenly Principles, he had been the one sitting down—with one leg crossed over the other!
The other Demon Gods became the Seven Archons of the Mortal World through appointments from the Heavenly Principles.
Morax was different. He had signed a contract with the Heavenly Principles.
Without the Gnosis, some Gods lost their source of power. Zhongli was different. Even without the Gnosis, he was still Morax!
The effect on his combat strength would not exceed 0.1 percent...
If he faced Morax at his peak, could the Vago Rock Emperor defeat him?
I know all his strength and weaknesses, but back then, he was full of spirit. He shouldn't lose.
To put it bluntly, Morax could not lose then, nor was he allowed to lose.
Knock him down once, and for the sake of the people behind him, he would get back up and continue fighting.
After hearing Paimon's words, everyone hesitated slightly. Should they stop Dai Mubai or not?
They had just arrived in Heaven Dou City and had already offended the Heaven Dou Fourth Prince, even beating him up.
Were they now going to offend the Crown Prince as well?
If so, they would likely find it difficult to get by in Heaven Dou City.
"Miss, do we know each other?"
Zhongli did not even glance at Dai Mubai. Instead, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing with confusion.
In this girl's eyes, he saw something unusual—a glimmer that only appeared upon seeing an acquaintance.
"Gasp..."
Everyone drew a sharp breath. This Zhongli was bold!
Dai Mubai had come looking for trouble, yet he ignored him.
Then he went straight to chatting with Dai Mubai's fiancée!
"Do we know each other?"
What a low-level pickup line!
Even an inexperienced young girl could not possibly be fooled by something like that, right?
"N-No, we don't."
Hearing a voice so similar to the Lord's, along with that nearly identical sense of security, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and lowered her head to stare at her toes.
No, why the hell are you blushing?
Dai Mubai felt as if even his hair color had changed!
The Shrek group was also utterly bewildered. They had never seen Zhu Zhuqing act like this before.
Zhu Zhuqing had always kept a straight face and rarely smiled.
No matter who she faced, she was always like this, leading everyone to believe that she simply had a cold personality.
Never in their wildest dreams did they expect Zhu Zhuqing to blush after seeing this man with no Soul Power!
That shy appearance, that expression—no matter how they looked at it, she seemed like a young girl in love!
"Gasp..."
"Could Boss Dai have been cuckolded?"
Ma Hongjun inhaled sharply and blurted out.
His scalp went numb. Dai Mubai had always been the one cuckolding others, yet now someone else was cuckolding Dai Mubai.
What goes around comes around. Who could escape the heavens' judgment?
Wait, if he thought about it that way, his own fate, Ma Hongjun's fate, probably would not be much better either!
Ma Hongjun had not lowered his voice. Who present could fail to hear him?
At that moment, Dai Mubai clenched his fists. Soul Power stirred all around him, as though it might erupt at any moment.
He looked at the expressionless Zhongli, then glanced at the still-blushing Zhu Zhuqing. For a moment, rage consumed his mind.
He had always been hot-tempered, picking on the weak at the slightest disagreement. How could Dai Mubai possibly endure this any longer?
"We don't know each other? That makes sense. It should be so."
Zhongli nodded as though nothing had happened. He had only been transported here for a little over half a month, and this was also his first time meeting Zhu Zhuqing. Was it not perfectly normal that they did not know each other?
Still, Zhu Zhuqing's reaction made him frown.
The way she said they did not know each other felt strange somehow.
What could be the reason?
Right, there was also that girl Qian Renxue. When she first saw him, the flash of fear in her eyes had not been fake.
But why?
Dai Mubai was just about to make his move when a voice rang out.
"Guest Official, I nearly forgot something!"
An elegant and gentle figure appeared before the group.
He wore an apologetic expression, as though he truly felt sorry.
This person was none other than the returning "Xue Qinghe."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, come quickly! This guy wants to deal with Zhongli and Paimon!"
Upon seeing "Xue Qinghe," Paimon hurriedly flew to his side and began complaining.
"What!"
"Xue Qinghe's" expression changed. In broad daylight, under the clear heavens, these people actually intended to attack Mr. Zhongli!
"That big... big sister, yes! Only that big sister spoke up for us."
Paimon looked at Zhu Zhuqing and described her according to Zhu Zhuqing's most obvious feature.
"Xue Qinghe" was briefly stunned and discreetly shifted his gaze away.
Good heavens, this girl looked so young. Why were her pectorals so exaggerated?!
"Eh, it really is the Crown Prince!"
Ning Rongrong murmured.
She had met "Xue Qinghe" before. In fact, "Xue Qinghe" was her senior brother.
Her father, Ning Fengzhi, was "Xue Qinghe's" teacher.
The two had met several times.
"Junior Sister Rongrong?"
"Xue Qinghe" surveyed the Shrek group before his gaze settled on Ning Rongrong.
She had never expected Ning Fengzhi to let his daughter study with such a group of barbarians.
How strange.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Since she had been recognized, Ning Rongrong stopped pretending and stepped out from the crowd.
The Shrek group was all dumbfounded. This Zhongli really was a Crown Prince's Mansion Guest Official?
What exactly did the Crown Prince see in Zhongli?
A Guest Official with no Soul Power!
As though she had thought of something, "Xue Qinghe's" expression changed.
"You..."
