Golden hair, double pupils, and an aura with a hint of sharpness.
Based on those traits, Su Ge did not even need to guess to know that this was the legendary Seven-Star Ladybug, Dai Mubai.
However, he did not argue and instead had the front desk check.
"Please check whether any of the rooms we booked were reserved by this gentleman."
The receptionist hurriedly nodded. Another man who looked difficult to deal with had nearly made him panic, and only Su Ge's words brought him back to his senses.
"May I ask your name, sir?" the receptionist asked cautiously.
Impatience showed on Dai Mubai's face. "Are you new here? Don't you know that this place always has to keep a room for me?"
"Forget it. Call your manager out!"
The receptionist nodded helplessly and headed toward the back. Just as Dai Mubai revealed a faint smile, he heard a questioning voice that nevertheless carried certainty.
"So, you didn't make a reservation?"
Having heard what Dai Mubai said, Xiao Wu understood what he meant. He had made such a fuss that she had thought he had already booked a room.
As Sister Xiao Wu, who had ranked second only to one person at Nuoding Academy for six consecutive years, she naturally was not afraid of causing trouble.
"So what?"
Dai Mubai looked at Xiao Wu, and a flash of admiration passed through his eyes before quickly vanishing. He merely answered coldly.
"If you didn't reserve one, then get lost. Are you staying here waiting for dinner?!"
Hearing those highly provocative words, Su Ge leaned against the counter and watched the scene with a broad smile.
At that moment, Tang San quietly walked over and stood beside Su Ge, facing Dai Mubai from afar.
Dai Mubai's cold, wicked gaze immediately locked onto Xiao Wu, and then he nodded.
"Good. Very good. It has been a long time since anyone dared speak to me like that."
"Judging by the way you look, you're Soul Masters too, right?"
"Then come at me together. If you can beat me, I'll leave at once. Otherwise, please demonstrate what it means to roll!"
Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, the twin girls beside him giggled foolishly, then obediently released the arms they had linked with his and stepped aside.
Just then, the receptionist who had left earlier came out from the back with a middle-aged man.
After hearing Dai Mubai's words, the man hurried forward with an anxious expression.
"Let's talk this out, let's talk this out. Please don't fight."
"Manager Wang, your business is really getting better and better these days, isn't it?" Seeing Manager Wang approach, Dai Mubai relaxed somewhat. Yet the cold light in his eyes remained as it wandered between Manager Wang and Su Ge's group, making his meaning obvious.
Manager Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forcing a smile as he repeatedly tried to placate Dai Mubai.
Su Ge simply watched in silence, saying nothing, but Tang San could already faintly sense the low pressure emanating from him.
"I'm sorry, you two guests, but that room was reserved by Young Master Dai. Please choose another establishment."
Manager Wang was full of apology, but there was no room for remedy or negotiation. He did not even suggest that they book two separate rooms.
"You..."
Xiao Wu was about to curse when a large hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back.
"Young ladies shouldn't use foul language. Let me handle this."
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Wu immediately quieted down and stepped back. Still, she whispered to Su Ge, "Su Ge, you have to teach them a hard lesson!"
Su Ge gave her a reassuring look, then walked step by step toward Dai Mubai.
Though he was somewhat younger than Dai Mubai, he was a little taller and looked noticeably sturdier.
Yet Dai Mubai was not intimidated by Su Ge in the slightest. Instead, he looked at him with interest. "You finally decided to step out and speak? I thought you were some pretty boy who only knew how to hide behind women."
At his words, a dangerous gleam flashed through Su Ge's eyes. A bag of sufficiently weighty Gold Soul Coins appeared in his hand, and he tossed it to Manager Wang at the side.
"This is for the repairs afterward. I've always kept grudges and favors separate. Later, we can slowly discuss your habit of looking down on people."
Only after doing that did Su Ge turn to look at Dai Mubai.
"Make your move. Today, you have only two choices: either I beat you out of here, or you leave lying down."
"Heh, kid, you've got guts!"
Dai Mubai's expression changed. He gave a low laugh, wicked light flashing in his eyes as his right fist abruptly rose. With a forward charge, he punched straight at Su Ge's chest!
Smack!
Su Ge did not dodge. When the fist reached him, he raised a hand at some unknown moment and easily caught the blow.
"A tiger drained dry by women isn't called a lecherous tiger. I usually call it a sick tiger."
Dai Mubai felt the force behind his punch vanish as though it had sunk into the sea. His face immediately darkened, and he realized that the person before him was far from ordinary.
"Hmph!"
With a muffled grunt, the White Tiger Martial Soul immediately possessed him. His shoulders trembled slightly, and the strength in his arms instantly increased severalfold!
His full head of golden hair instantly turned black and white, with white making up most of it while several strands of black stood out sharply.
A king-shaped marking emerged on his forehead. His hands also grew larger, and the claws on his ten fingers were like sharp daggers, gleaming with cold light!
After Martial Soul Possession, the first thing Dai Mubai did was break free from Su Ge's hand rather than continue his attack.
He lowered his body slightly and watched Su Ge warily, a deep shock hidden in the depths of his eyes!
Even after using his Martial Soul just now, he had still been suppressed in terms of strength!
Could it be that he had truly been harmed by drink and women?
At that thought, Dai Mubai silently resolved to quit drinking.
At the same time, three Soul Rings appeared around him. Two yellow and one purple—the optimal arrangement—showed that this young-looking man was actually a Soul Elder!
However, Su Ge, Tang San, and Xiao Wu behind him all watched the scene with calm expressions.
Soul Elder? Who here wasn't a Soul Elder?
Still, the Soul Rings gave Dai Mubai tremendous confidence. He straightened and looked at Su Ge. "Kid, I admit you do have some strength. Now... show your Martial Soul!"
"Otherwise, you're no match for me!"
"Is that so?"
Hearing Su Ge's question, Xiao Wu and Tang San could not help exchanging glances, both with strange looks in their eyes. Those words sounded far too familiar to them!
Looking at the confident Dai Mubai, Su Ge put away some of his playful attitude. His golden eyes faintly lit up, and his golden hair gained a slight sheen as he activated the power of his Martial Soul!
He stomped down hard, and the immense force shattered the floor tiles beneath his feet!
He shot forward at tremendous speed, and as Dai Mubai's pupils suddenly contracted, Su Ge directly blasted him away with a single punch!
Boom!
