Dai Mubai Kills a Hundred-Year Soul Beast with One Punch! Shaking Both Worlds! Zhu Zhuqing, His Fiancée!

He killed a Hundred-Year Soul Beast with one punch.

This was not merely a matter of strength.

It also showed his precise sense of timing in battle, and his unstoppable momentum.

"That guy..."

"He really is a monster."

Qian Renxue thought to herself.

His strength stirred a powerful desire to conquer him.

Only a man like him was worthy of her, Qian Renxue.

The scene on the Sky Screen continued.

After dealing with the Nether Wolf, Dai Mubai slowly withdrew his fist.

He did not even spare the wolf's corpse another glance.

It was as though he had just done something utterly trivial.

He turned around, his gaze falling on the young Zhu Zhuqing, who was still sitting on the ground.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing was completely dumbfounded.

She stared at the boy before her, who was only a little older than she was.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves, gilding him with a golden glow.

In that moment,

in young Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, he was no ordinary person.

He was a god.

A War God sent by the heavens to save her.

Dai Mubai strode over to her.

His expression remained calm. He showed none of the pride or self-congratulation one might expect after rescuing someone.

He crouched down.

His eyes were level with Zhu Zhuqing's.

"Can you walk?"

His voice was soft.

Though it still carried a hint of childishness, it gave her an inexplicable sense of safety.

Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly into his mismatched eyes.

Golden-red light shimmered within them, mysterious and noble.

She instinctively shook her head, then nodded.

Then she lowered her head and looked at her swollen ankle.

It was already badly bruised, and it was clear she had twisted it quite badly.

Dai Mubai followed her gaze.

His brow furrowed slightly.

Without another word,

he reached out and took hold of Zhu Zhuqing's small foot.

"Ah..."

Zhu Zhuqing let out a soft cry and tried to pull her foot back, but his warm hand held it firmly.

"Don't move."

Just two short words.

Yet they carried an undeniable force.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately went still, huddling there like a well-behaved kitten.

Dai Mubai's fingers gently pressed around her ankle a few times.

"Luckily, the bone isn't hurt."

"You just sprained it."

As he spoke, a faint, milky-white glow appeared in his palm.

It was Soul Power.

He was using his Soul Power to help Zhu Zhuqing clear the pooled blood.

A warm current flowed from her ankle through her body, and the piercing pain eased considerably.

Zhu Zhuqing's little face flushed at once.

She had never been this close to a boy before.

Even the older and younger boys in her family either kept their distance from her or treated her with hostility.

No one had ever

treated her so gently.

"All done."

After a while, Dai Mubai let go.

He stood up and dusted off his hands.

"This is the depths of the Soul Hunting Ground. You shouldn't be here."

"Those two enforcers are probably looking for you. I'll take you out."

With that, he turned and motioned for Zhu Zhuqing to follow.

But when Zhu Zhuqing tried to stand, her foot hurt less, yet she still couldn't put much weight on it.

She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes once more.

The helplessness made her feel unbearably wronged.

Dai Mubai heard her behind him.

He stopped and glanced back.

Then he sighed helplessly.

"What a hassle."

Though he called it a hassle, he still walked back over.

Then, to Zhu Zhuqing's astonishment, he scooped her up in his arms.

"Ah!"

Zhu Zhuqing cried out, instinctively wrapping her arms around Dai Mubai's neck.

Their faces were very close.

She could even smell the faint, pleasant scent coming from him.

It smelled like sunshine.

And strength.

Her heart pounded so hard it felt like it might leap right out of her throat.

"Hold on tight."

Dai Mubai looked straight ahead as he carried Zhu Zhuqing, as easily as if she were a rag doll.

He strode toward the edge of the forest.

His steps were steady, without the slightest jostle.

In his arms, Zhu Zhuqing secretly raised her head and gazed at his sharply defined profile.

He was still so young.

Yet in that moment, his face was etched deep into her soul.

It would never fade.

"W-what's your name?"

Zhu Zhuqing worked up her courage and asked in a small voice.

Her voice was faint as a mosquito's buzz.

Dai Mubai didn't look down. He simply replied, "Dai Mubai."

Boom!

Zhu Zhuqing's body jolted.

Dai Mubai?

That... legendary prince?

The Third Prince, regarded by everyone as a genius and treasured by His Majesty?

And also...

the fiancé her family had chosen for her?

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened in disbelief.

She had heard of Dai Mubai.

According to the elders in her family, he was the most talented genius the imperial family had seen in a hundred years.

But she had never met him.

She had assumed that a prince of such lofty status would be arrogant and conceited.

But now...

The person carrying her, the one who had just saved her life, was Dai Mubai?

Joy burst open in her heart.

So this is my fiancé?

He's so strong.

And so gentle.

He's nothing like I imagined.

Zhu Zhuqing buried her face against Dai Mubai's chest.

"Dai Mubai..."

She silently repeated his name to herself.

As if she wanted to savor those three words, then swallow them whole.

"What? Now that you know who I am, did you freeze up?"

Feeling her stiffen in his arms, Dai Mubai casually teased her.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

She raised her face, and her big, black-gem eyes were now astonishingly bright.

Looking at Dai Mubai, she spoke with a resolve she had never shown before.

"My name is Zhu Zhuqing."

"Dai Mubai, you saved me."

"When I grow up, I'm going to marry you."

Children spoke without thinking.

Yet at that moment, her words sounded especially solemn.

This was no joke.

It was a girl's most earnest promise to the person who had saved her life, and to her own future.

Dai Mubai paused.

Clearly, he hadn't expected the little girl to suddenly come out with something so direct.

He looked down at Zhu Zhuqing.

At her little face, so full of seriousness.

And smiled.

It was a pure smile.

Without scheming or political calculation.

"You want to marry me?"

"Then you'll have to work hard."

"Becoming my princess consort won't be easy."

"At the very least, you can't let a little hundred-year-old mutt chase you all over the place again."

Zhu Zhuqing wasn't upset by his teasing.

Instead,

she clenched her little fists and nodded firmly.

"I'll work hard!"

"I'll get really, really strong!"

"Strong enough to stand by your side!"

The White World, Sea God Island.

As Bo Saixi watched this scene on the Sky Screen, a hint of emotion appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face, usually as still as a quiet well.

"What pure feelings."

"What a powerful body."

As one of the three Peerless Douluo of the age, she had an exceptionally discerning eye.

Her attention was not focused only on the interaction between the two children.

She was also watching the potential contained in the punch Dai Mubai had just thrown.
