Dai Mubai hadn't just abandoned her, leaving her alone in the Star Luo Empire—he was also living it up here.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's heart for Dai Mubai died completely.
Just then, Dai Mubai noticed Xiao Wu standing beside Luo Yan.
Xiao Wu was standing on the other side, where the light fell on her and revealed her beauty.
Looking at Xiao Wu's beauty, and at Zhu Zhuqing's figure, Dai Mubai suddenly felt that the twins in his arms weren't so appealing anymore.
"Well, well. I didn't expect to find another pretty girl here."
"Come, come. You can all keep me company tonight. I promise I'll treat you well!"
Fueled by alcohol, Dai Mubai didn't even bother to hide his intentions from Luo Yan, who was holding Xiao Wu's hand.
A murderous glint flashed in Luo Yan's eyes, but when he saw Zhu Zhuqing trembling slightly, he temporarily suppressed it.
"Dai Mubai!"
At last, Zhu Zhuqing spoke, her voice ice-cold.
Her chilly words brought Dai Mubai back to his senses somewhat. He didn't find it strange that someone in Suotuo City recognized him.
Still, Zhu Zhuqing's voice seemed vaguely familiar.
But even though it sounded familiar, Dai Mubai's gaze remained undisguisedly lustful as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
Clearly, he probably would have done the same even if he hadn't been drinking.
"Hell Spirit Cat, possession!"
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing stopped wasting her breath and released her Martial Soul at once.
A pair of cat ears appeared atop Zhu Zhuqing's head, and a long, slender tail emerged behind her.
Most importantly, two yellow Soul Rings slowly appeared at her feet.
"Hell Spirit Cat!" At Zhu Zhuqing's words, Dai Mubai sobered up completely.
But before he could say anything, Zhu Zhuqing had already turned her hands into claws and pounced at him.
In his panic, Dai Mubai instinctively released his Martial Soul.
The White Tiger Martial Soul possessed him, making his body incredibly muscular, and three Soul Rings—two yellow and one purple—appeared.
"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Protection Barrier!"
His first yellow Soul Ring lit up, instantly forming a white barrier that shielded him and the twin sisters in his arms.
Clang!
Zhu Zhuqing struck the barrier directly.
But she hadn't used a Soul Skill, so she only left a faint scratch on it and failed to break through.
"Second Soul Skill, Hell Hundred Claws!"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't give up and immediately unleashed her second Soul Skill.
In an instant, she became a blur, landing a hundred attacks on one spot of the barrier in the blink of an eye.
Crack!
The White Tiger Protection Barrier was only Dai Mubai's first Soul Skill, after all. It couldn't hold.
Dai Mubai had no choice but to shove the twin sisters away to keep them from getting hurt as well.
"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Before Zhu Zhuqing's remaining attacks could land, Dai Mubai unleashed his third Soul Skill.
His muscles bulged, and black stripes appeared on his skin.
For the half hour the transformation lasted, it doubled his resistance to abnormal conditions, attack power, defense, and strength.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest and blocked Zhu Zhuqing's second Soul Skill.
"Zhuqing, I..."
Just then, Dai Mubai recognized Zhu Zhuqing.
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing's first Soul Ring lit up.
"First Soul Skill, Hell Stab!"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice remained ice-cold.
Her claws extended sharply, turning into blurs as they repeatedly struck at Dai Mubai's vital points.
Dai Mubai could only regain his composure and defend himself. One attacked while the other defended.
Though Zhu Zhuqing fought with all her might, she was several years younger than Dai Mubai, and there was a considerable gap between their strength.
With Dai Mubai using his third Soul Skill, she couldn't do anything to him.
Instead, her Soul Power kept draining away.
Dai Mubai had initially wanted to explain himself to Zhu Zhuqing, but she gave him no chance and kept attacking his vital points. His frustration quickly turned to anger.
He stopped holding back, and his second yellow Soul Ring lit up.
"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Light Wave!"
A milky-white ball of light shot from his mouth toward Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing's injuries hadn't fully healed. After exhausting herself in the fight, she couldn't dodge at all and could only watch as the White Tiger Light Wave struck her.
At the critical moment, Luo Yan saw that Zhu Zhuqing was exhausted and stepped in.
He appeared behind Zhu Zhuqing in an instant, wrapped one arm around her waist, and pointed at the orb of light with a finger on his other hand.
The White Tiger Light Wave dissolved on the spot.
Dai Mubai realized that he had hit too hard, but when he saw Luo Yan's hand around Zhu Zhuqing's waist, he frowned.
He glared at Luo Yan and snapped, "Who are you? Let go of Zhuqing!"
[Dai Mubai disapproves of your actions. Resentment Points +7651!]
"Your injuries haven't healed yet. You shouldn't have been so impulsive. With your talent and hard work, you'll definitely surpass him one day!"
Luo Yan ignored Dai Mubai's shouting and spoke softly beside Zhu Zhuqing's ear.
"I... I'm sorry."
Seeing that Luo Yan had saved her again, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little embarrassed.
"Zhuqing, who is he?! Don't forget who you are!"
Seeing how intimate Zhu Zhuqing and Luo Yan looked, Dai Mubai flew into a rage.
The vague image of a green hat hovering over his head made him forget that Luo Yan had just stopped his second Soul Skill with a single finger.
Dai Mubai's gaze turned murderous as he stared at Luo Yan. If Zhu Zhuqing hadn't been in Luo Yan's arms, he would have attacked already.
[Dai Mubai thinks you've cuckolded him and becomes murderous toward you. Resentment Points +9000!]
"So you're Dai Mubai. While I don't feel like killing you right now, get lost!"
"When Shrek Academy holds its entrance examinations in a while, I'll bring Zhuqing there and let her defeat you herself!"
Luo Yan glanced at Dai Mubai, making no effort to hide the murderous intent in his eyes.
He finished speaking, then revealed a trace of spiritual energy, forcing Dai Mubai back.
After that, Luo Yan turned and carried Zhu Zhuqing away toward the room they had already booked.
Before going upstairs, he tossed ten Gold Soul Coins to the young woman at the front desk to cover the damage from the fight.
It wasn't time for Shrek Academy's entrance examinations yet, so the Rose Hotel had plenty of rooms available.
While Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were fighting, the receptionist had already arranged rooms for them.
Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming glanced at Dai Mubai outside the entrance, then followed them upstairs.
Luo Yan had booked only two rooms: one triple room and one double room.
He, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing would share one, while Da Ming and Er Ming would stay together in the other.
After they entered the room, only Luo Yan and the two girls remained inside.
"Zhuqing, are you all right...?"
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing's face was still a little pale, Xiao Wu's kind heart stirred, and she went over to her with concern.
It was the first time she had ever spoken to Zhu Zhuqing of her own accord.
