Workers Have a Worker's Soul; Workers Are All Above Others

Dai Mubai walked up to Su Chen, his gaze brazenly sweeping over Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

That look made him seem exactly like some greasy supporting male character who had just stepped out of a domineering CEO novel.

"Brother, you've got quite the luck with women."

Dai Mubai raised his brow, pointed his thumb behind him, and curled his lips into what he believed was a dashing smile.

"Want to trade? I've got twins behind me. Double the fun—you definitely won't lose out."

After hearing that, the twins did not show a single unnecessary expression. They stood there with utter professionalism.

They were workers, after all. As long as the sugar daddy paid enough, let alone switching clients.

Even if they were sent to help a sow give birth at the village entrance, they could still cut the umbilical cord with smiles on their faces.

The moment those words came out, the air fell silent.

Su Chen nearly laughed out loud.

Good heavens!

Dai Mubai's move was like jumping into a minefield with his eyes closed, then insisting on landing with a backflip.

It would have been one thing if he did not recognize his own fiancée standing right beside him.

It would have been one thing if he had brought twins out to have some fun.

But now, right in front of Zhu Zhuqing, he had actually come over to play this swapping game.

What an outrageous move.

It was outrageous all the way home.

Su Chen even wondered whether Dai Mubai had forgotten to check the almanac before leaving home.

Before he could speak, Xiao Wu exploded first.

She had never liked Dai Mubai in the first place.

The moment this guy appeared, his eyes had been wandering. Now he even dared to set his sights on her and Zhu Zhuqing.

How could she tolerate that?

"Did you eat shit? Why does your mouth stink so badly?"

Xiao Wu stepped forward and pointed at Dai Mubai's nose as she cursed.

"You filthy lecher, your eye bags are bigger than water bags. One look tells me your kidneys are weak."

"You can barely walk straight, yet you dare set your sights on me? If you didn't look in a mirror before leaving, you should at least piss on the ground and look at your reflection!"

That string of insults made Dai Mubai's expression stiffen at once.

He had always been arrogant in Suotuo City.

Usually, when people saw him, they either called him Young Master Dai or greeted him with flattering smiles.

When had he ever been pointed at and cursed in public by a little girl?

The smile on Dai Mubai's face gradually faded.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing's face had already become cold enough to scrape off frost.

She stared fixedly at Dai Mubai, her hands clenched into fists.

This was her fiancé? The man whose fate was bound to hers?

She had once thought that Dai Mubai had fled to Heaven Dou to avoid Dai Weisi's edge.

That he had come to secretly grow stronger.

That he had been waiting for an opportunity to turn things around.

But the man before her had twins following behind him, with not the slightest hint of pressure in his eyes—only frivolity and indulgence.

She had been hunted all the way here and had nearly died in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yet he was hiding here, spending every night in revelry and playing with twins!

So this so-called escape had never been about growing stronger.

He had merely changed locations to rot away.

He had even said something about trading right in front of her!

The little expectation Zhu Zhuqing had left shattered completely at that moment.

Seeing that things were heading in the wrong direction, the receptionist quietly slipped into the back to call for help.

Less than half a minute later, a chubby manager came scrambling out.

The moment the manager saw Dai Mubai, he bent so low his waist nearly snapped. He was only one step away from dropping to his knees and kowtowing.

"Oh, Young Master Dai! You're finally here!"

The manager's face was full of flattery, his smile blooming like an old chrysanthemum. "This room was reserved for you in the first place. I'll handle the paperwork right away!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Su Chen's group of three.

That fawning face instantly changed. The speed of his transformation put even Sichuan opera masters to shame.

The manager waved dismissively at Su Chen and the others, his tone utterly perfunctory.

"Sorry, everyone. This receptionist is new and doesn't understand the rules.

"This hotel keeps an exclusive suite reserved for Young Master Dai year-round. You should go look somewhere else."

Xiao Wu's anger flared even higher when she heard that.

"Hey! Is that any way to do business? Do you understand first come, first served?"

She slapped the counter.

With a crack, a fissure split across its surface.

"Don't think we're easy to bully just because we're young! Believe it or not, I'll tear down this shady hotel of yours!"

The manager shuddered in fright and hurriedly hid behind Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai stepped forward, folded his arms across his chest, and struck what he thought was a very handsome pose.

"Kid, know your place. Give up the room and apologize to me, and I might not make trouble for you!"

As he spoke, he looked toward Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing again, his tone frivolous.

"As for those two, I've always been generous. I don't like arguing with beautiful women."

Su Chen looked utterly disdainful as he sized Dai Mubai up and down.

"What makes you think you're worthy of competing with me for a room?"

"With those unsteady steps of yours, you still dare imitate others and play with women."

"I'd advise you to find a doctor quickly and get yourself some kidney tonic. Otherwise, you might really become a silver spear with a wax tip—all show and no substance."

Dai Mubai's face instantly darkened.

As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, when had he ever suffered this kind of humiliation?

Even after fleeing to Suotuo City, he was still Young Master Dai in everyone else's eyes.

But today, Xiao Wu had first pointed at his nose and cursed him, and now Su Chen was mocking him in public.

Dai Mubai laughed in extreme anger.

"Good, good, good."

"Today, I'll show you why flowers are so red!"

As soon as the words fell, Dai Mubai let out a loud shout.

"White Tiger, possess me!"

In an instant, Soul Power erupted from his body.

His originally slender body suddenly swelled, muscles stretching his white suit taut as a faint king character appeared on his forehead.

Three Soul Rings—two yellow and one purple—slowly rose from beneath his feet.

A level-thirty-seven battle Soul Elder! His aura erupted at full force.

The twin sisters cooperatively applauded from the side.

"Young Master Dai is so handsome!"

"Young Master Dai is mighty!"

"Young Master Dai is number one under heaven!"

They provided emotional support with impeccable professionalism.

The hotel manager hurriedly pounced forward and grabbed Dai Mubai's arm.

"Young Master Dai, this is a small business! Please don't smash things up! It's all money!"

Dai Mubai flung the manager's hand away.

"Enough nonsense. Put all the losses on my tab. Today, I'm tearing that brat's mouth apart!"

Xiao Wu gave a cold laugh and rolled her neck.

"You want to fight? I'll play with you!"

"Soft Bone Rabbit, possess me!"

Rabbit ears emerged, and three Soul Rings rose beneath Xiao Wu's feet as well.

Yellow, purple, purple!

The third purple Soul Ring in particular was surrounded by dark energy.

The smile on Dai Mubai's face froze completely.

What the hell was this monstrous Soul Ring configuration?

Her second ring was already a thousand-year ring?

And the color of her third ring was so dark it was practically heading toward ten thousand years!

His level-thirty-seven Soul Elder rank would naturally count as genius-level among ordinary Soul Masters.

But compared to this little girl, he was simply a joke.

Dai Mubai immediately began considering retreat.

Reason told him that he could not kick this iron plate.

This little girl was definitely no ordinary person. Who knew what terrifying power stood behind her?

But when he caught sight of the twins' admiring gazes behind him, he gritted his teeth.

A man could not back down!

Especially in front of women. Even if he died, he could not back down!

Besides, he was Dai Mubai, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger!

He would go for it!

He refused to believe a little girl could do anything to him!

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai immediately went all out, activating three Soul Skills in succession. Golden light blazed from his body, and his aura surged.

He opened his mouth and spat out a dazzling sphere of white light that shot straight toward Xiao Wu.

"That's it?"

Xiao Wu tapped the ground with her toes, and her third Soul Ring lit up.

Teleportation!

Her figure vanished from where she stood.

The White Tiger Intense Light Wave lost its target and blasted directly into the hotel wall.

Boom!

A huge hole was blasted open in the wall.

The hotel manager looked at that hole, and his heart bled.

Money!

That was all money!

Before Dai Mubai could react, a fierce gust of wind struck the back of his head.

"First Throw! Crow Flies the Plane!"

Xiao Wu appeared directly above him, her ankles precisely clamping around Dai Mubai's neck as she violently twisted her waist.

Dai Mubai was hauled into the air, spun three hundred and sixty degrees midair, then smashed heavily into the ground.

Bang!

The marble floor cracked like a spiderweb, and shattered stone scattered everywhere.

Dai Mubai cried out miserably. His vision went dark, and his head buzzed.

Before he could get back up, Xiao Wu's follow-up attacks had already arrived.

"Second Throw! Tornado Destroys Parking Lot!"

Xiao Wu grabbed Dai Mubai by the ankle, swung him through the air like a giant windmill, then violently slammed him into the wall.

"Third Throw! Great Might Heavenly Dragon!"

"Fourth Throw! Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

The entire hotel lobby instantly became Xiao Wu's personal stage.

Her figure flashed like lightning as she darted back and forth through the lobby.

Dai Mubai was battered up and down through the air, completely unable to fight back.

Every punch struck flesh. Every kick drew blood.

Xiao Wu cursed as she beat him.

"That's for stealing our room!"

"That's for your filthy mouth!"

"That's for acting like some big bad wolf!"

"That's for wanting to trade people!"

"Today, I'm delivering justice on behalf of heaven and beating you to death, you sick lecherous cat!"

It was not as if Dai Mubai had not considered fighting back, but Xiao Wu was simply too fast.

The moment he tried to open his mouth and fire the White Tiger Intense Light Wave, Xiao Wu backhanded him across the jaw.

The white light had not even left his mouth before his teeth nearly flew out first.

Just as he wanted to use the White Tiger Protection Barrier to take the hit head-on, Xiao Wu teleported behind him and drove another knee into his kidney.

Dai Mubai's face twisted in pain.

While the two fought, Su Chen pulled Zhu Zhuqing back to a safe distance, then dragged over two chairs and handed one to her.

"Sit and watch. Standing is tiring."

Zhu Zhuqing blankly accepted the chair and sat down, her gaze still fixed on Dai Mubai.

The man she had once seen as the other end of her fate was now being beaten so badly by Xiao Wu that he could not fight back at all.

Su Chen then somehow produced a handful of sunflower seeds and gave half to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Original-flavor sunflower seeds. Perfect for passing the time."

Zhu Zhuqing looked down at the seeds in her hand.

Before her was her fiancé in name being violently beaten, while beside her sat the man who had saved her life, cracking sunflower seeds.

The scene was so absurd that she almost wanted to laugh.

Then Su Chen somehow pulled out a loudspeaker and began live commentary.

"Dear viewers."

"You are now watching Suotuo City's first no-holds-barred fighting tournament!"

"In the red corner, we have Dai Mubai, known as the kidney-deficient tiger!"

"In the blue corner, we have our cute and charming villain, Xiao Wu!"

"Oh~, contestant Dai Mubai has unleashed a White Tiger Intense Light Wave, but unfortunately, he missed!"

"This move fully demonstrates contestant Dai Mubai's three core problems: poor eyesight, inaccurate technique, and insufficient waist strength!"

Quite a few spectators had already gathered outside the hotel.

When they heard Su Chen's commentary, they almost could not keep it together.

Su Chen held up the loudspeaker, his tone impassioned.

"Contestant Xiao Wu counterattacks! A Crow Flies the Plane lands with pinpoint accuracy! Contestant Dai Mubai is down and cannot rise!"

"Beautiful! Tornado Destroys Parking Lot! Contestant Dai Mubai completes a seven-hundred-and-twenty-degree spin in midair!"

"Contestant Xiao Wu's combo transitions are incredibly smooth!"

"If the full score is ten, I give contestant Xiao Wu a nine. I deducted one point because I'm afraid she'll get cocky!"

Hearing him from afar, Xiao Wu immediately shouted in dissatisfaction, "Boss! Why did you deduct a point from me?!"

Su Chen shouted back through the loudspeaker, "Then it's ten! Out of a perfect ten, you get twelve. The extra two points are compensation for emotional distress!"

Xiao Wu was satisfied, and she began hitting even harder.

As Xiao Wu continued her beating, Su Chen's tone gradually turned mournful.

"How tragic."

"Truly, unbearably tragic."

"Contestant Dai Mubai's face is so messed up now that even his own mother would have to ask, 'Whose unlucky kid is this?'"

The crowd could no longer hold it in and burst into laughter.

Zhu Zhuqing cracked the sunflower seeds in her hand, listened to the bizarre commentary by her ear, then looked at the fiancé in front of her who was being kicked around like a ball.

She could not describe how she felt.

The anger remained, and so did the disappointment, but beyond that, she unexpectedly felt a trace of relief.

Five minutes later.

The one-sided beating finally ended.

Xiao Wu clapped her hands and landed calmly.

Then there was Dai Mubai.

His entire body had been twisted into an extremely abstract pretzel shape.

Dai Mubai's left leg rested on his right shoulder, his right hand was bent backward against his spine, and his face was swollen even worse than a pig's head.

He lay in a crater, rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth.

His White Tiger Possession had long since dispersed. Where was there even the slightest trace of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger's former majesty?

He looked exactly like a swollen-faced cat that had been brutally beaten by life.

The hotel manager clung to the counter, his lips trembling.

He looked at the hole in the wall, then at the cracked floor.

Finally, his gaze fell on Dai Mubai.

"Young Master Dai, you said just now that all the damages would be on your tab, right?"

Dai Mubai rolled his eyes without any response at all.

When the twin sisters saw that their sugar daddy had gone down, they exchanged a glance.

Their professional instincts shone once more.

Neither screamed nor ran away.

Instead, they hoisted Dai Mubai up between them and dragged him outside.

"Young Master Dai, slow down."

"Young Master Dai, let's find somewhere else for you to rest."

As the girl on the left dragged him, she lowered her voice and said to the girl on the right, "Little sister, search him first later and take tonight's overnight fee, or this trip will have been for nothing."

The girl on the right nodded in agreement. "Okay, big sister. Looking at Young Master Dai's condition, he probably won't be getting out of bed for ten days or half a month. We'll have to find a new patron."

"Sigh, the quality of sugar daddies is getting less and less reliable."

"Nothing we can do. Life is hard; sisters can only sigh."

Supporting Dai Mubai as if they were dragging a bag of trash, they walked out of the hotel without looking back.

Workers have worker souls; workers are all superior people.

Their sugar daddy might be useless now, but their wages could not be shortchanged.

Xiao Wu came over with her hands on her hips, her face full of pride.

"Zhuqing, did you see that just now?"

"From now on, if anyone dares bully you, just give them Sister Xiao Wu's name!"

"Especially sickly cats with all that flashy nonsense. Bring me one and I'll throw one; bring me two and I'll throw both!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's proud little expression, Zhu Zhuqing felt a slight warmth in her heart.

She spoke softly. "Thank you."

Xiao Wu waved her hand. "It's nothing, it's nothing!"

"We're on the same side now."
