"Xiao... Xiao Wu, what are you doing here?"
Tang San saw Xiao Wu and looked away, clearly feeling guilty.
Would Xiao Wu misunderstand him? Would she think he'd come here to have some fun?
If she really misunderstood him, he'd be terribly wronged.
He really hadn't done anything!
He'd only come here for a foot massage.
By spending money here, he was helping those pretty young ladies earn a decent income~!
That was all.
He'd saved all his weapons and ammunition for Xiao Wu alone.
Tang San wouldn't claim to be the most devoted man, but he would never fool around or betray Xiao Wu.
When it came to loyalty in love, Tang San could undoubtedly rank first among all the male leads in webnovels.
No matter how tempting the situation, he could remain unmoved.
He wasn't like those other male leads who'd see a woman strip naked and immediately drop their pants and jump into action.
Ma Hongjun had been joking around with Tang San just moments ago, but when he saw Zhu Zhuqing and the others arrive,
his face turned deathly pale.
Zhu Zhuqing was here, and Xiao Wu was here too. He was done for.
Zhu Zhuqing was Dai Mubai's fiancée. If she caught Dai Mubai having fun here, Dai Mubai would never let him off.
After all, he was the one with the raging urges who'd dragged Dai Mubai and the others here.
If he hadn't been so worked up and invited Dai Mubai and the others along,
Dai Mubai and Tang San wouldn't have been caught red-handed by Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
Now, not only would Dai Mubai come after him, but Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Tang San would too.
Ma Hongjun could already picture Dai Mubai and the others settling the score with him when they got back.
He'd be beaten black and blue.
No.
He absolutely couldn't let that happen. He had to fix this, fast.
No matter what, he couldn't let Zhu Zhuqing run into Dai Mubai.
He couldn't let Zhu Zhuqing catch him in the act.
There was still a chance to smooth things over with Tang San, too.
Tang San had come out early. Maybe he could get away with a little excuse.
"I came out shopping with Zhuqing and Rongrong. We saw this place and got curious. We heard they were hiring young women and the pay was really good. If you did well, you could even earn enough for an apartment in a month, so we came in to take a look!
"We're seeing if there's any chance we could go home with an apartment next month."
Xiao Wu explained playfully to Tang San.
Even now, she still didn't know what kind of place this was. She thought it was just a foot massage parlor.
There was a sign by the entrance explaining that the place offered foot massages.
The masseuses were all young women. They had skilled hands and smelled lovely, and getting a massage from them was supposed to put you in a good mood.
Xiao Wu had been curious, too.
So she'd come in with Zhu Zhuqing to see what it was like to feel relaxed in body and mind.
She hadn't expected to run into Ma Hongjun and Tang San here.
Xiao Wu remembered that her third brother and Dai Mubai had left together with the others.
Why weren't Dai Mubai and Oscar around?
Her puzzled gaze swept over the room.
"By the way, where are Dai Mubai and Oscar? I haven't seen them. I remember you all left together just now!" Xiao Wu asked innocently. "Did you split up?"
"We split up, we split up!" Ma Hongjun hurriedly answered.
Tang San, standing beside him, glanced nervously at the private room where Dai Mubai and Oscar were.
A fat guy was a fat guy. He could lie without even blinking.
At the same time, Tang San hoped Dai Mubai would get through this without Zhu Zhuqing finding him. Otherwise, if the girls learned what kind of place this was, things between him and Xiao Wu would get tense again.
"Third Brother, did you really split up?"
A Spirit Beast's instincts told Xiao Wu that Ma Hongjun couldn't be trusted.
That chubby guy lied as easily as he breathed.
Only Tang San was trustworthy. He would never lie to her.
So Xiao Wu turned to Tang San for confirmation.
Tang San opened his mouth.
He didn't want to lie to Xiao Wu.
But he also didn't want this to drive a wedge between them.
So he told a well-intentioned lie.
He nodded.
"That's right. We split up on the way!"
But as soon as Tang San finished speaking, a tiger's roar came from the private room where Dai Mubai was.
It was the sound of a White Tiger Martial Soul, one Zhu Zhuqing knew very well.
She recognized the sound of Dai Mubai's Martial Soul at once.
Dai Mubai was here too.
Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at Tang San and Ma Hongjun.
Dai Mubai was clearly here, so why had they lied to her?
Was there some secret here they didn't want her to know?
Zhu Zhuqing recalled how, before she'd left the Star Luo Empire to find Dai Mubai, he had often frequented places of ill repute.
And Ma Hongjun, who was plagued by his Evil Fire...
An absurd thought suddenly occurred to her.
Could this be a place of ill repute?
Otherwise, why would they only hire young, pretty girls?
And why was the pay so high?
Even a newcomer could supposedly earn enough for an apartment in a month.
That was unimaginable for an ordinary job.
Though her family had sheltered her well, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't stupid.
She immediately realized this was no respectable establishment.
It was a place of ill repute.
Her expression turned cold. Following Ma Hongjun's gaze, she looked toward the private room where Dai Mubai and Oscar were.
The next moment, she strode upstairs and headed straight for their room.
If she caught Dai Mubai soliciting here today, she would call off the engagement, no matter what.
There was no way she'd want a man who'd been passed around.
It wasn't as if Zhu Zhuqing couldn't find anyone else.
Even if she couldn't become a princess, she'd still be a powerful Spirit Master.
"Zhuqing, don't... don't do anything rash!" Seeing Zhu Zhuqing suddenly head upstairs, clearly making a beeline for Dai Mubai and Oscar's room, Ma Hongjun panicked.
He couldn't let her kick the door open and catch Dai Mubai in the act.
Otherwise, Dai Mubai might not only lose his fiancée, but his reputation would be ruined too.
Tang San and Xiao Wu's relationship would be in trouble as well.
And the real culprit—him—would be in for it.
Ma Hongjun tried desperately to stop her.
But to Zhu Zhuqing, his attempts to stop her only confirmed her suspicions.
She became even more certain that Dai Mubai was in there.
In an instant, her gaze turned even colder.
As she passed a table, Zhu Zhuqing spotted a fruit knife on it.
The blade was very sharp!
She stared at the knife, her eyes cold for a second, then grabbed it.
A man would only truly behave once he was rid of all six roots of desire!
Tang San was startled when he saw Zhu Zhuqing pick up the fruit knife.
Knowing it was used for cutting, a certain part of him suddenly went cold.
That wouldn't do at all.
Meanwhile, beside the Lake of Life in the Core Circle of the Star Dou Forest,
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were guarding Chu Feng when they suddenly sensed a sinister aura rushing toward them at high speed.
They immediately went on alert, bracing for an enemy.
"Who's there?!"
"Die!"
As soon as the two finished speaking, Bibi Dong suddenly appeared and attacked them both.
