" Zhu Zhuqing! Save me!"
Dai Mubai was a desperate cry, as if he were shouting with all his might; his throat was practically cracked from shouting.
All eyes in the restaurant turned to the girl quietly eating in the corner.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed not to hear.
She didn't even lift her eyelids; her pretty brows furrowed slightly, as if the noise had spoiled her enjoyment of the food.
She picked up a Dragon Beard Noodles with her chopsticks, gracefully put it into her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
That heart-wrenching wail was nothing to her, just like a stray dog being kicked outside the window—not worth a second glance.
But this completely indifferent attitude became the final straw that broke Dai Mubai's spirits.
He's gone mad.
" Zhu Zhuqing!!"
Like a maggot, he struggled to move towards Zhu Zhuqing, using his only functional left hand and his relatively intact right leg to push against the ground.
That movement was incredibly awkward.
On the spotless floor, he had left a long, ugly trail, a mixture of blood, bits of flesh, dust, and saliva.
" Zhu Zhuqing! Look at me! It's me! I'm Dai Mubai!"
"We're engaged! I'm your fiancé!!"
He emphasized the words "fiancé" heavily, as if it were some kind of get-out-of-jail-free card that could command the world.
He thought that as long as he brought up this identity, he could awaken even the slightest bit of Zhu Zhuqing's old feelings.
That's how you can grasp at this last straw.
"I was wrong! I was so wrong! I shouldn't have abandoned you and run away in the Star Luo Empire!"
He cried so hard that tears streamed down his face, his entire face contorted in a grimace. Gone was the handsome prince; all that remained was a nauseatingly pathetic sight.
"You begged that senior to spare me! He'll listen to you as long as you ask!"
" Zhu Zhuqing, please save me! I swear! I swear I'll never go looking for those shady women again. I'll only be good to you, I'll be devoted to you wholeheartedly!"
He crawled, pleading, muttering promises of a future he himself didn't believe in.
Cheap, and ridiculous.
He was completely unaware of how foolish he was to utter such outrageous remarks in this place.
"Puff--"
At the dinner table, Yue Guan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
He quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, his shoulders heaving, his effeminate face turning bright red, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh too loudly.
Qian Daoliu shook his head and let out an undisguised sneer.
"Tsk, what's wrong with the brains of young people these days?"
He picked up his teacup, blew on the steam, and slowly complained to the Golden Crocodile Douluo beside him.
"To offer a marriage contract from a broken empire as a plea for mercy from a senior figure?"
"This line of thinking is even more tragic than my fate of being denied my second meal of Egg Fried Rice."
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in deep agreement. " Big Brother is right, this level of intelligence is truly touching."
Bibi Dong had been sitting with her legs crossed, shifted her position, and the two of her Eternal Black Silk stockings rubbed together, making a slight friction sound.
fiancé?
This fool from the Star Luo Empire will probably never understand, even in his death, that ridiculous "marriage contract" he speaks of is less than a piece of toilet paper compared to the "employee" status bestowed upon him by his senior.
Dai Mubai's struggle continues.
He drew closer and closer to Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes even sparkling with hope.
Just when he was only three steps away from Zhu Zhuqing.
She finally made a move.
The finally arriving "response" filled Dai Mubai with ecstatic joy.
" Zhu Zhuqing! I knew it! I knew you still cared about me! Don't worry, I'll definitely keep my word..."
His words came to an abrupt halt, like a duck being choked.
Because Zhu Zhuqing stood up.
She didn't do anything immediately; she simply took a mop from the corner at a leisurely pace.
Then, she picked up the mop and walked up to him.
Dai Mubai looked up at her, staring blankly.
Zhu Zhuqing made a move.
One kick.
It wasn't a furious kick in anger; it didn't even involve much force.
It's like a person casually kicking away a pebble while walking.
"Bang."
A muffled thud.
Dai Mubai was kicked so hard that he rolled back to the spot where he had started crawling, returning to his starting point.
He was stunned.
I was completely dumbfounded.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't look at him, not even giving him a second glance.
She simply lowered her eyes, looking at the bloody, flesh-stained stain left by Dai Mubai on the wooden floor she had just mopped that morning.
Her brows were furrowed.
That's a deep-seated aversion that comes when obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness flares up.
"That's disgusting."
She muttered something under her breath, as if complaining that her workload had increased for no reason again.
After saying that, she picked up the mop and began to clean up the ugly stain.
Splash!
Splash!
The mop, damp with water, was slowly and deliberately used to wipe the stain back and forth.
one time.
Another one.
It was as if he, along with all the evidence of his existence, were as worthless as the trash on the ground.
It needs to be removed.
Dai Mubai lay motionless on the ground like a lump of mud.
He forgot the pain, forgot to beg for mercy, and even forgot the despair.
Just then...
A pair of all-red high-heeled shoes with black leather soles landed silently on the back of his left hand.
Then, the owner of the heel slowly shifted their body weight onto it.
Pfft!
A soft thud as a sharp weapon pierced flesh.
The sharp heel encountered almost no resistance before piercing his metacarpal bone and flesh, making intimate contact with the hard tile floor.
"Ugh..."
Dai Mubai let out a muffled groan, like a wild beast on the verge of death.
pain!
The excruciating pain caused his body to arch violently, like a shrimp pulled from the water, before crashing down again.
His eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and he almost fainted again.
Only then did Zhu Zhuyun, the owner of the shoes, seem to realize that she had stepped on something strange.
She covered her mouth and let out a delicate gasp, her beautiful face displaying just the right amount of apology and innocence.
"Hey! Mu Bai, why are you still lying here?"
She slowly bent down, her voice so sweet it could melt your heart, but to Dai Mubai it was more terrifying than the curse of a demon from the abyss.
"Look, I accidentally stepped on your hand."
I'm so sorry.
As she spoke, the foot she was stepping on the back of his hand seemed to unintentionally, using the heel as a pivot, to gently grind it.
"Creak..."
"Creak..."
The sound of bones rubbing against the floor reached everyone's ears clearly.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was speechless.
Anyone could see that her action had absolutely nothing to do with "accident."
Who would accidentally pin someone's hand to the floor with the heel of a high heel?
After Zhu Zhuyun finished doing all this, she slowly lifted her foot.
She glanced at the bloodstains on her heels, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly, her face filled with disgust.
Then, she carefully rubbed against Dai Mubai's back, which was trembling violently from the pain.
She only stopped when there was no more blood left on the heel.
She looked down at Dai Mubai, who lay sprawled on the ground unable to even groan, the sweetness in her voice gone, replaced by cold mockery.
"Even now, do you still think you're that high and mighty Third Prince of Xingluo?"
"You still think that marriage contract, which is worthless and worthless, can save your dog's life?"
Zhu Zhuyun's tone was filled with undisguised, vengeful pleasure.
"If only the senior hadn't spoken yet..."
Her voice was low and filled with malicious pleasure.
I would have chopped you up and fed you to the dogs long ago!
After saying that, she didn't even bother to look at Dai Mubai again.
Zhu Zhuyun turned around and faced Lin Feng behind the counter.
It's this very second.
All the fierceness, coldness, and malice on her face vanished without a trace.
Instead, she has a sweet, obedient smile that reaches her very core, like a cat that has just done something naughty and is eager to curry favor with its owner.
"Senior~"
"This trash has dirtied the floor."
Can I kill him?
