The other two women had decent figures and looked very much alike. They were both quite pretty, scoring over 80 points—above average!
This guy really knows how to have fun...
Lin Fan grumbled to himself, but he wasn't envious. The two women were decent enough, but compared to Xiao Wu, they were worlds apart!
His principle was that it was better to have nothing than to settle for less. He wouldn't take women of this caliber even if they were offered to him for free!
Lin Fan naturally couldn't be bothered with other people's business. He headed straight for the first-floor lobby, and the three people behind him followed. They seemed to be going down for breakfast too.
"Young Master Dai, how was last night? Did you have fun?!"
As soon as they came downstairs, the front desk manager greeted the blond young man. It seemed he was a regular here.
"Look at these twin beauties. How could I not have fun? Keep this room for me. We're partying here again tonight!!"
The blond young man said with a grin, his arms around the two women.
But in the next instant, the smile on his face suddenly froze. He stared in astonishment at the figure of a young girl in the lobby!
"Zhuqing?! Y-you... what are you doing here?!"
Young Master Dai hurriedly pushed the twin sisters away and strode toward the girl!
"Dai Mubai—oh, no, Young Master Dai. Twin beauties, huh? You really are a ladies' man!"
The girl's long black hair fell over her shoulders. She had fair skin, delicate features, and a hint of youthful innocence!
Yet her figure was stunning, especially her ample chest. Any man who saw it would be swept away!
At that moment, her face was ice-cold, and a faintly self-mocking curve tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"Zhuqing? Dai Mubai?! No way! Could it really be such a coincidence?!"
Lin Fan, standing nearby, froze for a moment, then began observing them carefully!
"The girl looks about eleven or twelve, but she's very well-endowed. She must be Zhu Zhuqing!"
"The guy has a pair of dead-fish eyes, like the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun, and he brought twins to a hotel room. He's definitely that scumbag Dai Mubai!"
Lin Fan was now completely certain of their identities!
"Zhuqing, listen to me. It's not what you think!"
Dai Mubai hurried over to Zhu Zhuqing, looking flustered. He tried to grab her hand, but she dodged him!
"Scumbag! Then what was it? Explain yourself!"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes reddened slightly. At such a young age, she had left her home and fled her family's pursuit, traveling thousands of miles to the Heaven Dou Empire just to see Dai Mubai. But she never expected that this scumbag would be sharing a hotel room with other women—and two of them, at that!
"Zhuqing's right. You scumbag, you don't deserve her!"
Just then, Lin Fan walked over from the side and glared coldly at Dai Mubai!
"Who are you? Get out of my way! This has nothing to do with you!"
Dai Mubai furrowed his brow and glared at Lin Fan, his expression turning dark. Zhu Zhuqing's sudden appearance had already left him in a panic, and now someone dared to step in and provoke him!
"I called her Zhuqing. What do you think our relationship is?!"
Lin Fan let out a cold laugh and walked right over to Zhu Zhuqing. Under her startled gaze, he took her soft, delicate hand!
"Dai Mubai, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend!"
Zhu Zhuqing quickly caught on and went along with Lin Fan's words, confirming their relationship!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Zhuqing, you only brought this guy here to make me jealous. There's nothing between you two, right?!"
Dai Mubai stared fixedly at Zhu Zhuqing, still clinging to one last shred of hope!
"Heh, why is that impossible? You went behind my back and did something so shameless. Why can't I find new happiness?"
Zhu Zhuqing sneered. Then, under everyone's gaze, she leaned her alluring red lips toward Lin Fan and gave him a light kiss on the cheek!
Zhu Zhuqing's move caught Lin Fan off guard, but her warm, tender kiss felt wonderful!
"Brat, I'll kill you!"
Dai Mubai could no longer hold back his fury. He roared as his clothes burst apart, and a huge White Tiger phantom appeared behind him. At the same time, two yellow Soul Rings and one purple Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet!
"Dai Mubai, if you want to hurt him, you'll have to kill me first!"
Seeing Dai Mubai fly into a rage, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly stepped in front of Lin Fan!
In Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Lin Fan had stepped forward to help her. If Dai Mubai beat him to death because of it, she would feel terribly guilty!
"Don't worry. If I can't even beat him, wouldn't that prove you have terrible taste?!"
Lin Fan patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, then stepped out from behind her to face Dai Mubai.
"Come on. If I let you walk out of here on your own two feet today, then my name isn't Lin Fan!"
Lin Fan spoke calmly.
"Haha, what a boast! Let's see what you can do!"
Dai Mubai laughed in his fury. Without another word, he stomped the ground and shot toward Lin Fan like an arrow loosed from its string!
His hand had already transformed into a sharp tiger claw, which he swung down at Lin Fan's head!
"Oh no, that kid doesn't have time to summon his Martial Soul!"
"So what if he does? Young Master Dai is already a Soul Elder above level 30. Judging by that kid's age, it'd be impressive if his Soul Power reached the teens!"
"Sigh, he should've known better than to steal Young Master Dai's woman!"
The onlookers murmured among themselves, turning their heads away because they didn't want to see the bloody sight of Lin Fan's head bursting like a watermelon!
Lin Fan remained calm where he stood. Only when Dai Mubai's tiger claw was less than half a meter from his head did he raise his right hand and throw a punch!
Boom!
A terrifying surge of energy erupted with the violent collision. Every glass object in the lobby shattered, the onlookers scattered and retreated, and the entire hotel was left in utter ruin!
The next moment, a figure flew through the air and slammed hard into a pillar in the lobby!
"That figure... it's Young Master Dai! How is that possible?!"
Chapter 17: Dai Mubai Gets Thoroughly Crushed!
When the onlookers came to their senses, they were all dumbstruck!
Lin Fan still stood motionless where he had been, without a single scratch on him. Dai Mubai, who had charged in so aggressively, was sprawled on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth!
"Th-this guy is way too monstrous?!"
Beside him, Zhu Zhuqing covered her red lips with a jade-white hand, her face equally full of disbelief!
She knew better than anyone how powerful the White Tiger Martial Soul was. It was absolutely one of the finest Beast Martial Souls!
Lin Fan looked even younger than Dai Mubai. How could he have knocked Dai Mubai flying with one punch without even summoning his Martial Soul?!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Of course, no one was more shocked and unable to accept this than Dai Mubai!
He considered himself a cultivation prodigy. At sixteen, he had already reached level 37 and become a Soul Elder, yet now he had lost to someone even younger than himself—and lost so completely!
"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Piercing Light Wave!"
Dai Mubai, who considered himself a genius, simply couldn't accept his defeat. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had long since lost his reason. He unleashed his strongest attacks against Lin Fan!
He had only one goal: to kill Lin Fan!
"Heh, stubborn to the bitter end!"
Lin Fan's gaze gradually turned cold. As he stomped the ground, a strange dragon's roar resounded throughout the lobby. The Primordial Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul appeared behind him, and five Soul Rings surfaced beneath his feet at once!
When everyone saw the number and colors of Lin Fan's Soul Rings, they were all stunned. Some even slapped themselves hard in the face before they could believe they weren't dreaming!
Purple, purple, purple, black, black! Anyone who saw this Soul Ring Configuration would be left bewildered!
"First Soul Skill, Ancestral Dragon Roar!"
Amid a furious roar, Lin Fan's First Soul Ring lit up. A strange sound wave burst from his mouth and collided head-on with the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!
The instant the two sides met, a powerful surge of energy erupted. They were locked in a stalemate for only a moment before the White Tiger Piercing Light Wave could hold no longer and shattered. The lingering force of the Ancestral Dragon Roar slammed into Dai Mubai's chest!
Crack!
With the sound of bones breaking, Dai Mubai spat blood and flew more than ten meters, overturning several tables before he came to a stop. He passed out on the spot!
"Here's a few hundred Gold Soul Coins to cover the hotel's damages. And get a doctor to check him out. Don't let him die here—that'd be bad luck!"
Lin Fan took out several hundred Gold Soul Coins and tossed them to the hotel manager beside him.
"Oh, oh... all right..."
The manager had never seen anything like this and had long since been scared witless. Once he came to his senses, he hurriedly told the other staff to clean up the lobby and find a doctor to treat Dai Mubai.
Lin Fan had originally planned to kill Dai Mubai, but in the end, he held back!
Dai Mubai was from Shrek Academy. According to the story's progression, he would eventually become Tang San's close friend, and Lin Fan needed to torment Tang San to gain Villain Points!
Once Tang San and Dai Mubai grew closer, tormenting Dai Mubai would also be another way of tormenting Tang San!
Besides, although Dai Mubai was a scumbag, he and Zhu Zhuqing had grown up together. If Lin Fan killed him outright, Zhu Zhuqing might resent him!
Rather than do that, it was better to let the boy live. As time passed, Zhu Zhuqing would eventually see Dai Mubai for what he was!
"Come on, Zhuqing. I'm sparing his life for your sake, but a scumbag like him doesn't deserve you."
Lin Fan walked over to Zhu Zhuqing and spoke.
"But... he's my fiancé... and my family..."
Zhu Zhuqing looked torn. Although she was only a twelve-year-old girl, she was already burdened by too many chains!
"Zhuqing, don't let those things bind you. You should be a free bird, soaring wherever you please. Life is short. Break free of your shackles and live for yourself..."
"Live for myself?"
Zhu Zhuqing mulled over Lin Fan's words again and again. The conservative beliefs rooted deep in her mind seemed to be gradually breaking apart.
"What are you planning to do now?"
Lin Fan asked.
"I don't know..."
Zhu Zhuqing was at a loss. She had come to the Heaven Dou Empire to find Dai Mubai, and who could have guessed things would turn out this way?
"How about staying at the hotel for now? That way, I can look out for you if anything comes up."
Lin Fan suggested.
"All right."
Zhu Zhuqing thought it over, then nodded.
Lin Fan got Zhu Zhuqing a room right next door to theirs, room 303. After picking up breakfast for Xiao Wu, the two of them went upstairs.
"Get some rest. If anything comes up, come find me next door."
After settling Zhu Zhuqing in, Lin Fan returned to room 302.
"Brother Lin Fan, why did you take so long? I'm starving!"
As soon as he entered, he heard Xiao Wu complain.
"Slow is good. A man being too fast isn't a good thing. Also, you should start calling me hubby!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan handed her the breakfast.
"All right, thank you, hubby! But I think I heard a fight just now. What happened?!"
Xiao Wu asked curiously, munching on a carrot with her big, inquisitive eyes blinking.
Lin Fan didn't hide anything from her. He told her everything that had happened.
"Poor Zhuqing. That Dai Mubai is such a scumbag! Hubby, you won't turn out to be a scumbag like him, will you?!"
Xiao Wu stared at Lin Fan and asked pointedly.
"I won't... Of course I won't!"
