Dai Mubai, You Are Not Worthy of Being Compared to Young Master Qin!

"It seems I have the upper hand. From today on, I am a man with a dragon to warm my bed."

Qin Jiuxiao was in an excellent mood.

The Kunpeng was truly the fastest creature in the world; in terms of speed, even Zi Ji fell slightly short.

Zi Ji gritted her teeth, her delicate fists clenched tight.

Damn it, it was just by a hair's breadth!

Looking at Qin Jiuxiao's incredibly smug smile, the mere thought of having to warm his bed from now on made Zi Ji feel as though her dragon life was hopeless.

She wore an expression of utter despair.

"Don't get too smug. Aside from warming your bed, I won't let you get your way with anything else."

Zi Ji said through gritted teeth.

But Qin Jiuxiao didn't care at all. Once she was warming the bed, surely he could play the emotional card?

I'll just hold you, I won't do anything to you. I'll just rub against you, I won't go all the way.

One could only say that a man's mouth is a deceptive devil.

Heh heh heh.

After entering Soto City, they quickly returned to the Qin Family estate.

His father, Qin Yuntian, had received word the moment he stepped through the city gates.

He had come to the entrance of his courtyard to wait in advance.

Seeing yet another beauty following Qin Jiuxiao, Qin Yuntian felt his blood pressure rising.

"You rebellious son, can't you settle down and focus on your cultivation?"

"With your talent, becoming the youngest Title Douluo on the continent is a certainty."

"Can't you let your old man save some face when I go out?"

Fine, fine, this old guy is like a roof-tiling cat—if you don't beat him for three days, he'll start tearing the house down.

It had only been a few days, and he was back to this attitude.

Qin Jiuxiao glanced at him sideways, put on airs, and cleared his throat twice.

"Old man, I suggest you watch your tone when speaking to me."

"So what if it's a Title Douluo?"

"The girl I just took in by my side is a Title Douluo."

"Zi Ji, show him a little something to scare this old man."

Hearing this, Zi Ji rolled her eyes slightly, but she still followed his lead and allowed her aura to leak out just a little.

Qin Yuntian's pupils instantly constricted. Within that aura, he felt like a tiny boat tossing in the vast ocean.

A chill crawled up his spine and spread across his entire body.

Watching the old man's stunned expression, Qin Jiuxiao felt incredibly satisfied.

He stepped forward, patted Qin Yuntian on the shoulder, and spoke with feigned earnestness.

"Old man, you don't understand the world of geniuses."

"You only think about me breaking through to Title Douluo as soon as possible, but you don't realize that the people following me now are already Title Douluos."

"Your vision as the Soto City Lord needs to be raised a notch."

With that, he led Zi Ji into his courtyard.

He left Qin Yuntian standing there, still dazed.

He kept muttering to himself, "My Qin Family has a Title Douluo now, too."

As he muttered, the corners of his mouth slowly spread until they reached his ears.

Finally, he looked up at the sky and laughed out loud.

So what if it's a Title Douluo? Now, Qin Jiuxiao could even conquer a Title Douluo.

Who could stop his Qin Family from taking flight?

"Hahahaha, my son Jiuxiao has the bearing of an emperor!"

The next moment, he followed them into Qin Jiuxiao's courtyard, his attitude completely changed.

"Jiuxiao, you must treat this Miss Zi Ji well."

"Miss Zi Ji, now that you're at the Qin Family, treat this place as your own home. If you want anything, just give the order."

He rubbed his hands together, his gaze darting between the two, his upturned mouth unable to fall back down.

What a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Qin Jiuxiao searched the courtyard but found no trace of Zhu Zhuyun, so he returned to the center of the yard.

"Old man, where did Zhuyun go?" Qin Jiuxiao frowned slightly.

Qin Yuntian seemed to suddenly remember something; he slapped his thigh and was about to speak, but stopped when he saw Zi Ji still standing nearby.

The words died on his lips.

This female Title Douluo was by his son's side; if he mentioned other girls close to Qin Jiuxiao, would something go wrong?

His Qin Family couldn't withstand the wrath of a Title Douluo right now.

"Old man, don't dawdle. Just say it."

Seeing Qin Jiuxiao's fearless demeanor, Qin Yuntian immediately understood the power dynamic between him and Zi Ji.

He could only sigh in his heart, as expected of my son.

He spoke slowly: "After you left, another girl from the Zhu family came looking for you."

"She seemed quite heartbroken."

"Miss Zhuyun took that Zhu family girl in, and the two of them left together the next day."

"I had people follow them secretly to protect them; they should be at the Rose Hotel in Soto City right now."

Qin Jiuxiao lowered his eyes. It seemed Tang San and Xiao Wu had already arrived in Soto City.

It was a great opportunity for him to obtain a new entry.

"Zi Ji, since you're new here, I'll take you around Soto City, and we'll go find two little kittens while we're at it."

Zi Ji rolled her eyes in secret. Taking me around? It was clearly just to use her as a free bodyguard.

But she still got up and followed him; after all, he was the man she had chosen.

Watching their departing backs, Qin Yuntian stroked his beard, his eyes filled with endless satisfaction.

His son really brought him surprises time and time again.

On the other side, outside the top-tier suite of the Rose Hotel.

Two Spirit Ancestors stood at the door like statues.

In front of them was a golden-haired youth with heterochromatic eyes.

Only, this youth looked quite irritable right now.

"Zhuqing, I already told you that was just for show. What else do you want from me?"

"I just made a mistake that every man in the world makes. Is it really necessary to be so relentless?"

"Are you even listening to me?"

Dai Mubai's face was livid, his fists clenched, his temper flaring up.

He tried to barge into the suite several times, but was blocked at the door by the hotel owner's men.

Inside the room, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were cold as she stared at the door, saying nothing.

Zhu Zhuyun, meanwhile, was leisurely sipping a cup of tea.

Watching her younger sister's cold expression, she gave a charming smile.

"My dear sister, do you believe your sister's words now?"

"You thought he came out to secretly build up his strength, but in reality, he just wanted to escape, and he's even living a life of debauchery."

"As for your fate, he probably hasn't even given it a thought."

"When will you ever be as clear-headed as your sister and see a truly good man?"

"The Master's talent is even greater than you imagine. Even ten Dai Mubais couldn't compare to him."

"If you don't seize the opportunity now, you won't even find a place by the Master's side later."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.

What she had seen and heard in the Star Dou Forest that night, that mysterious man—

After they parted, he kept appearing in her mind.

Especially after seeing Dai Mubai's lack of ambition with her own eyes, Qin Jiuxiao's face became clearer and clearer in her heart.

She remembered what Qin Jiuxiao had said by the campfire that night.

He seemed to have known her purpose from the very beginning and had pointed her toward a path.

He had allowed her to see Dai Mubai's true character with her own eyes.

Could everything he did have been for her sake!

Could he really have taken a liking to her?

Zhu Zhuqing felt her heart racing like a deer, her teeth gently biting her lip, her fingertips twisting together on her lap.

Outside the door, Dai Mubai was still calling out.

But he seemed to have completely broken down, and he began to curse loudly.

"Zhu Zhuqing, what are you pretending for?"

"Don't think I don't know whose top-tier suite this is."

"You know how you ended up in this room."

"What is that Qin Family Young Master anyway? Just a country bumpkin with a bit of influence."

"I heard he has innate full spirit power, but he hasn't even obtained his second spirit ring yet."

"It's a disgrace. I've never seen such a piece of trash."

"A bottom-feeder who got a little status and thinks he's something—he's not even qualified to lick my boots."

Boom!

The suite door swung open, and Zhu Zhuqing's cold figure appeared in the doorway.

Dai Mubai's face lit up, thinking she had finally come to her senses.

"Glad you finally understand..."

Before he could finish, slap!

A crisp sound echoed through the hallway.

Dai Mubai's head was knocked to the side, his face burning with pain.

But more than that, he was stunned by what Zhu Zhuqing said next.

"You can talk about me, but what right do you have to talk about Young Master Qin?"

"A piece of trash like you isn't even worthy of being compared to Young Master Qin. Even if you cultivated for ten lifetimes, you wouldn't be worth a single toe of his."

"That's right, I have taken a liking to Young Master Qin. Not only that, but from now on, I will only follow him and serve him."

"You will only ever be a pathetic, sickly cat for the rest of your life."
