Where Did This Lawless Ruffian Come From?! You Beast!

"Teacher, please don't kill him yet."

Seeing the clear, unmistakable killing intent in Jiang Nian's eyes, Cuihua immediately spoke up to stop him.

Jiang Nian turned his head, looking at her in disbelief: "At this point, you still want to protect him?"

He could not understand it. After being betrayed by someone she had trusted wholeheartedly, Cuihua still wanted to save Dai Mubai at all costs!

For a moment, Jiang Nian felt a sense of disappointment.

Dai Mubai's crimes were laid out clearly, each one severe enough to warrant execution, and every single one of them had been directed at Cuihua. Under these circumstances, she still wanted to save him?

Such soft-heartedness!

She was destined never to become a true powerhouse!

"Sigh..."

Jiang Nian sighed inwardly, feeling as though all his painstaking efforts had been wasted.

However, at this very moment.

"Cuihua! Stop acting like some saint here!"

Dai Mubai knew he was completely finished, so he stopped pretending.

Veins bulged on his forehead as he roared hysterically at Cuihua, venting the dissatisfaction and venom in his heart: "Look me in the eye and tell me, do you still look like you're in an alliance with me at all?!"

"I cast aside the noble blood flowing through my veins, set aside all my pride, and lowered myself to form an alliance with you, yet you treated me like a dog you could summon at will!"

Dai Mubai's voice grew louder, laced with a pathological distortion.

"Why? Tell me why!"

"You're nothing but a lowly village girl who sold her body and was played out by men! Why do you get to live better than me in this world? Why do you get to ride on my head!"

These accusations were like a series of heavy bombs, leaving Jiang Nian dizzy and utterly confused.

An alliance?

Why would the two of them form an alliance?

Before he could process this question, Dai Mubai's next words completely stunned him.

Selling her body?

Cuihua was only a teenager; how could she have been involved in such a trade?

Before the outbreak of the RR virus, anyone who dared to do such a thing would have been met with a bullet!

Even now, such a person would be exiled into the Wilderness Zone and permanently blacklisted by the Base City—it was no different from a death sentence!

What kind of lawless monster would commit such a beastly act against a teenage girl!

In that instant, Jiang Nian felt an urge to hack someone to pieces!

Jiang Nian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his rage, and looked at Cuihua.

Cuihua was naturally well aware of everything Dai Mubai had said. Her expression was conflicted; she bit her lip, and finally, she let out a soft sigh.

"Teacher, regardless of everything, please don't kill him. At least, don't kill him because of me."

Cuihua's words were earnest, not seeming like a pretense at all.

Because she always remembered that she did not belong to this world; she was a person from the Douluo Continent.

When the year was up, she would return to the Douluo Continent. Whether she would be a powerhouse or a weakling upon her return was entirely unknown.

In just one year, even if she were a genius, how much could she really grow?

Cuihua did not know.

But she had thought about this matter deeply, secretly making comparisons and assessments.

Her strength lay in the fact that the world she came from was stronger than the Douluo Continent, with a higher potential limit. At the same time, her talent was exceptional—a fact she had deduced from observing Dai Mubai, who had traveled with her.

However, were there no geniuses on the Douluo Continent?

Compared to those old monsters who had cultivated for decades, her weakness was obvious: she was always lacking in time.

As for Dai Mubai's background, she had heard Ma Hongjun mention it before; he was allegedly the heir to a certain noble family.

If Dai Mubai were executed because of her, she feared that once she returned to the Douluo Continent, that noble family would not spare her.

Even if she had the power to protect herself, what about her family? Her friends?

Therefore, even though she wanted to skin Dai Mubai alive after learning that everything she had suffered was his secret design, she ultimately had to plead for him.

She might have been ignorant in the past, but that did not mean she was a fool.

Now that she had power and insight, despite having been betrayed due to her lack of experience, she could still make the most advantageous judgment!

Past grievances were over once they had passed; future benefits were the only thing worth considering!

Jiang Nian frowned.

From Cuihua's plea, he sensed something different.

Back then, he had investigated Cuihua.

After confirming Cuihua's talent as a Spirit Master, he wanted to take her as a disciple and secretly utilized the connections of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall to investigate her background.

No base city had been breached, which meant Cuihua had not fled from a fallen city; at the same time, there were no records of her anywhere.

Birth records, growth trajectory, place of origin—there was nothing, as if she had appeared in this world out of thin air.

Yet, he still chose to cultivate Cuihua.

It was not just because of her outstanding talent, but also because Cuihua was like a blank sheet of paper, capable of fully accepting all his techniques; such a disciple was extremely rare.

After Dai Mubai entered his field of vision, he had also investigated him.

Naturally, just like with Cuihua, there was no source of information.

Now, listening to Dai Mubai's words, it seemed that Dai Mubai and Cuihua knew each other's roots... and had formed an alliance because of it?

Interesting.

Jiang Nian was filled with curiosity, but he did not ask the questions brimming in his mind directly. Instead, he gave Dai Mubai a meaningful look before reaching out a large hand and pressing it onto Dai Mubai's head.

Dai Mubai had no ability to resist and immediately fell unconscious.

Jiang Nian then casually picked Dai Mubai up, as if he were lifting a small chick.

Afterward, he turned to look into the depths of the Wilderness Zone, his expression grave. "There is the aura of a War General Class monster. This is no place to talk; let's return to Jiangnan Base City first."

With that, he reached out, tucked Cuihua under his arm, and with a few leaps, vanished from the spot.

On the Sky Screen, Jiang Nian carried Cuihua under one arm and held the unconscious Dai Mubai in his hand, disappearing into the depths of the ruins in the Wilderness Zone after a few bounds. The image gradually faded, but the storm on the Douluo Continent had only just begun to brew.

Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy.

Everyone kept their heads tilted back, unable to recover from the grand drama of betrayal they had just witnessed.

"Pah!"

Ma Hongjun spat fiercely onto the ground, his chubby face flushed red, his teeth grinding together with a clatter.

He pointed at the dimming Sky Screen and began to curse loudly.

"Dai Mubai, you really are a piece of trash!"

Ma Hongjun was trembling with rage, his voice filled with resentment and disdain.

He must have been blind back then to let a beastly dog like Dai Mubai look after Cuihua!

Was this him looking after Cuihua?

It was clearly Cuihua looking after him!

And yet, he showed no gratitude and backstabbed her instead!

"It would be one thing if you had just accepted Cuihua's help, but to turn around and screw her over like this! It's nothing short of beastly behavior!"

Beside him, Oscar also shook his head repeatedly, his eyes full of disappointment. Amidst the crowd, only Tang San stood silently, saying nothing.
