Teaching Dai Mubai a Lesson, Tang San's Unease!

The crowd looked toward the source of the voice.

A man dressed in white as pristine as snow walked over with a tall, upright posture and a leisurely, unhurried gait.

A woman followed half a step behind him, her figure curvaceous and enchanting.

It was none other than Qin Jiuxiao and Zi Ji.

The moment Zhu Zhuqing saw Qin Jiuxiao, a flash of excitement crossed her eyes.

She wanted to rush toward him, but she forced herself to stop, her legs stiffening slightly.

As of now, she and Qin Jiuxiao did not have any substantive relationship.

It was not appropriate to appear too intimate.

Yet, she still spoke softly, "Young Master Qin, you have arrived."

Qin Jiuxiao nodded and teased, "Little kitten, I'm not late, am I?"

Being addressed like that in public, a flush of shyness crossed Zhu Zhuqing's face.

However, she still shook her head.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, standing to the side, widened her eyes, her pupils contracting violently.

It was not because of Qin Jiuxiao, but because of the woman beside him.

As a soul beast herself, she could naturally sense the powerful pressure radiating from the other party.

It was obvious that the woman was also a soul beast.

Moreover, she was not one who had transformed and started over like her, but a fierce beast capable of taking human form while maintaining her soul beast essence, possessing immense strength.

Such power was something even Da Ming and Er Ming did not possess.

How could such a terrifying existence be following Qin Jiuxiao?

Could it be that he, like her, was a soul beast in human form?

Xiao Wu looked at Qin Jiuxiao, a flicker of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Being of the same kind, she felt a natural affinity for Qin Jiuxiao and Zi Ji, as if she had found her own kin in a foreign land.

"Hey, Little Qin, can you not see this young lady?"

Seeing that Qin Jiuxiao had yet to pay her any attention, Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and loudly complained about her dissatisfaction.

She had known Qin Jiuxiao much longer than these people.

Yet this guy didn't even speak to her first; it was truly hateful!

Qin Jiuxiao pretended to be slow to react, acting surprised as if he had just discovered Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, you are here too."

"Long time no see. You've grown even more beautiful; you've become a great beauty."

Hearing the compliment, Ning Rongrong nodded with satisfaction.

Her little mouth pouted slightly, looking as if to say, "At least you know how to talk."

"I'll be generous and not hold it against you since you know your place."

Tang San, standing nearby, did not know Qin Jiuxiao, but he felt an inexplicable sense of opposition toward him.

Yes, he just couldn't bring himself to like this person.

Especially when he noticed the way Xiao Wu's eyes brightened when she looked at Qin Jiuxiao.

That sense of unease and disgust intensified.

However, he did not want to reveal his true nature on the spot, so he turned and reached out his hand toward Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, since they have already arrived, you shouldn't get involved in the matters here anymore."

"Come away with me!"

But having finally met kin, how could Xiao Wu agree?

For the first time, she clearly refused Tang San, stating that she wanted to continue watching here and told him to go back first.

Tang San, who had always felt that everything was under his control, felt for the first time that things were slipping out of his grasp.

And the source of all this was this newly arrived Qin Jiuxiao.

At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao was standing in front of Zhu Zhuqing, watching Dai Mubai before him with composure.

"Young Master Dai, your reputation as a 'thousand-beauty slayer' is even louder in Soto City than my reputation as the young master of the Qin Family."

"This Rose Hotel is a property of my Qin Family."

"You are moving against my people on my turf—did you drink fake wine and forget who you are?"

Dai Mubai's soul power surged throughout his body, and three bright soul rings shone dazzlingly.

Yet, under Qin Jiuxiao's questioning, his momentum was faintly suppressed.

How could the always arrogant Dai Mubai endure this?

Especially when he saw the way Zhu Zhuqing looked at Qin Jiuxiao with eyes as gentle as water, like a young woman waiting for her lover.

The flames of jealousy were impossible to extinguish.

He pointed at Qin Jiuxiao with a gloomy expression.

"Qin Jiuxiao, do you dare to have a fair, man-to-man fight with me to see who is truly stronger?"

This time, he wanted to let Zhu Zhuqing see clearly who was the one more worthy of her trust.

Zhu Zhuqing, unaware of Qin Jiuxiao's true strength, immediately stepped in front of him.

"Dai Mubai, if you want to fight, you fight me."

But Qin Jiuxiao reached out and wrapped his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist, giving her tight waist a gentle squeeze.

Their bodies pressed close, and Zhu Zhuqing's hands rested lightly on Qin Jiuxiao's chest.

She turned her head away shyly, not daring to meet his eyes.

Through Qin Jiuxiao's clothes, she could feel the solid muscles on his body, which made her face burn even more.

"Q-Young Master Qin, there are people around."

Her voice was soft and carried a slight tremor.

But Qin Jiuxiao did not care in the slightest.

He had lived this life again to enjoy the freedom of settling grudges and living as he pleased.

Drinking wine and having a beauty in his arms—if he had to worry about this and that, then what was the point of living freely?

He leaned into Zhu Zhuqing's ear and whispered:

"Leave the rest to me; this is a fight between men."

"Little kitten, you just need to cheer for me from behind."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded with a hint of shyness and obediently retreated behind him.

Dai Mubai watched all of this, his teeth grinding together.

He let out a thunderous roar in his heart.

"I will definitely kill you, you piece of trash!"

As his soul power became increasingly active, the hair on his body turned into sharp needles, and sharp claws condensed on his hands.

Qin Jiuxiao turned to look at him, his expression light and breezy, not taking him seriously at all.

"Since you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end."

He raised his hand and crooked his finger at Dai Mubai, an arrogant gesture that filled Dai Mubai with even more rage.

But he held it back.

"Dai Mubai, level 37 power attack battle soul master, martial soul White Tiger!"

As his voice fell, the phantom of a white tiger behind him roared toward the sky.

Qin Jiuxiao gave him the basic respect due to a soul master and spoke in turn:

"Qin Jiuxiao, level 39 power attack battle soul master, martial soul Desolate Ten Fiends."

However, he did not reveal his martial soul or soul rings.

"You don't even have a second soul ring, how could you be level 39? If you're going to brag, at least come up with a better draft."

Hearing Qin Jiuxiao's introduction, Dai Mubai scoffed on the spot.

Qin Jiuxiao crooked his finger, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

"True or false, you'll know once you try."

Looking at Qin Jiuxiao's fearless expression, Dai Mubai felt a bit uncertain.

Having been in Soto City for so many years, he naturally knew of the Qin Family's soaring reputation, and the fact that Qin Jiuxiao possessed innate full soul power was common knowledge.

That was a genius who appeared fewer than ten times in the entire continent, a guaranteed Title Douluo in the making.

This made him re-evaluate Qin Jiuxiao.

Without holding back, he went all out from the start.

"Second soul skill, White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai spat out a ball of white light, which was about to strike Qin Jiuxiao in the blink of an eye at such close range.

But Qin Jiuxiao merely raised his hand.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, the fiercely attacking ball of light was blocked by his bare hand and held firmly in his grip.

A loud boom echoed.

The White Tiger Intense Light Wave was crushed to pieces by Qin Jiuxiao.

The scene fell into a dead silence.
