Ning Rongrong never held back when it came to tearing someone down.
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she didn't fear Dai Mubai or Ma Hongjun, nor would she have been intimidated by Flender, that Soul Saint, back in the day.
Under such a barrage of verbal fire, Dai Mubai's face turned the color of a pig's liver. His teeth ground together with a clicking sound, and his fists were clenched so tight they trembled.
Ma Hongjun was even more pathetic; lacking Dai Mubai's family background, he didn't even dare to lash out.
"Zhuqing, you have to believe me. I was only playing along with them. You know that a man's lust is just nature; sometimes, when the pressure builds up, one really needs to let off some steam."
Since his previous words had clearly been heard, Dai Mubai had no choice but to use the "nature of men" as his shield.
On the Douluo Continent, having multiple wives and concubines was perfectly normal, especially among the nobility and royalty, where it was even more common.
Bringing this up really shouldn't have been an issue.
After all, Wu Xing, being a man himself, would never dream of refuting such a thing.
Because deep down, he was the same kind of person—though he would never be the type to abandon his fiancée and run away to escape his problems.
Yet, no matter how Zhuqing explained it, she remained expressionless, not even bothering to glance at him.
She ignored him entirely.
This left Dai Mubai both annoyed and anxious. If he didn't handle this situation well today, he might never be able to salvage his image in her eyes.
Just as he was wondering what to do, his peripheral vision caught sight of Wu Xing watching the show, and a plan immediately formed in his mind.
"Who are you? What are you doing with my fiancée so late at night?"
Dai Mubai stared at Wu Xing, his voice dark and menacing.
He was purely looking for an excuse to shift the fire onto Wu Xing; since he couldn't explain himself, he would use an outsider to divert attention.
After all, anyone could see that Wu Xing was surrounded by several girls, including Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu—what could they possibly be doing together?
Yet, he specifically singled out his fiancée, clearly intending to muddy the waters and turn the tables, transforming his own unreasonable behavior into a righteous stance.
Furthermore, Wu Xing was wearing the uniform of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which had offended their Shrek Academy not long ago.
He didn't need to worry about blowing things out of proportion; the Dean and the others would naturally step in to back him up.
Wu Xing hadn't expected that even while just watching the show without saying a word, Dai Mubai would still manage to drag him into the mess. He truly gained a new perspective on the man.
However, he had long anticipated the twisted worldview of this world, especially that of the main protagonist group.
What kind of person would say that "not daring to cause trouble is for the mediocre," or that an Evil Fire Phoenix who preyed on young girls from a young age could become one of the protagonists and a god of this world?
There were too many examples to even bother listing them.
"What does that have to do with you?"
Wu Xing knew exactly what the man was playing at.
Trying to use him as a scapegoat?
You aren't qualified!
Dai Mubai clearly hadn't expected Wu Xing to be so firm. His face turned ashen, and his eyes flashed with violence.
"She is my fiancée! You tell me what it has to do with me?"
"You're from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, hanging out with my fiancée in the middle of the night—what are you trying to do?"
Wu Xing was immediately amused by the man's words.
"You're asking me what I'm trying to do with your fiancée? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"If it's not working right, go see a doctor. Take a look—are these two not from your Shrek Academy?"
Wu Xing pointed at Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong beside him.
"Three girls are standing right here, yet you insist on fixating on your fiancée? And you ask me what I'm trying to do?"
"Even if I wanted to do something, what could I possibly do?"
"Or is selective blindness your specialty?"
Wu Xing's explanation immediately drew a burst of laughter from the girls around him.
"Haha, Dai Mubai, were you sent by a monkey to be a clown? How are you so good at twisting the truth?"
Ning Rongrong clutched her stomach, laughing. Trying to smear dirt on Brother Wu Xing—he really was shameless.
"Dai Mubai, if you're going to make excuses, at least come up with better ones."
Xiao Wu was also amused.
Dugu Yan added with a smile, "Exactly. Lingling and I are also from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Why don't you ask what my relationship is with Brother Wu Xing?"
Dai Mubai's face flushed red and then turned pale under the mockery of the group.
He couldn't fathom why Xiao Wu and the others would speak up for the man in front of them.
Shouldn't they be teaming up to deal with him?
Had they forgotten the humiliation of being kicked out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy so quickly?
However, Ning Rongrong wasn't finished with him yet, and she added with a sweet, mocking smile:
"The two friends who were in your arms just now are still standing there, aren't they? Instead of going to explain things to Zhu Zhuqing, you run over here to interrogate Brother Wu Xing?"
Seeing his plan fail and being dragged back by Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai's anger toward her reached its peak.
"Ning Rongrong, stay the hell out of my business with Zhuqing. Besides, I already told you, it was just an act!"
"Oh, just an act."
Zhu Zhuqing let out a soft, mocking hum. Then, under the gaze of everyone present, she walked over to Wu Xing, hooked her arm through his, and leaned into his embrace.
Only then did she say, unhurriedly: "Didn't you just ask me what my relationship with him is? Well, I'll tell you: Brother Wu Xing and I are also just acting."
Zhu Zhuqing had had enough of Dai Mubai's endless excuses.
Today.
She would not endure it any longer!
She would also take this opportunity to learn from Xiao Wu and express her own pursuits in a roundabout way.
"Boom!"
The entire scene fell instantly silent.
Ning Rongrong could hardly believe her eyes, and Xiao Wu's mouth was wide open in shock.
They had spent so much time with Zhu Zhuqing and knew her to be cold, reserved, and always keeping a distance from everyone.
Who would have thought she would ever do something so bold and out of character!
Even Wu Xing felt a buzz in his brain, stunned for several seconds.
But after coming to his senses, he didn't hold back at all and wrapped his arms around her.
She was truly a peerless beauty with ample "food reserves," and the sensation was simply indescribable.
He reckoned the future father of her children would never go hungry.
Zhu Zhuqing, held in return by Wu Xing, stiffened slightly, but she did not struggle. Instead, she acted like a docile little kitten, allowing her master to stroke her.
Another one joins the fray.
Ye Lingling's eyes flickered. First, there was Xiao Wu's forced kiss, then Ning Rongrong's little moves, and now even Zhu Zhuqing was taking action.
Yet, she felt not a hint of jealousy.
To be the man that so many outstanding girls were fighting to throw themselves at.
She knew that being his girlfriend was absolutely her own good fortune.
"Zhu Zhuqing, do you have any idea what you're doing!"
Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot, his expression twisted.
He could not believe that Zhu Zhuqing would lean into the arms of a strange man, and he never expected her to use his own words to silence him.
"How can you compare him to me!"
"I am your fiancé! How can you be hugging and cuddling with another man!"
Dai Mubai roared. He had truly snapped, feeling as though a massive green hat had been firmly clamped onto his head.
He had only said those words earlier to deflect the topic, but now that it seemed to be coming true, how could he possibly accept it!
Ma Hongjun, hiding to the side, was in disbelief and trembling with fear.
Who could have imagined that he was just out for some normal fun to vent the evil fire in his body, only for so many complications to arise.
Not to mention offending Ning Rongrong, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the consequences of being held in her grudge, he had now witnessed Zhu Zhuqing gifting Dai Boss a green hat with his own eyes!
Any one of these things was enough to be the death of him!
