Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing Protect Support-Type Tang San Together; Dai Mubai the Scumbag Is a Good-for-Nothing

"What? You actually think you did nothing wrong..."

Zhu Zhuqing could not help but tremble, staring in disbelief with her beautiful eyes at Dai Mubai, who acted as though it were only natural.

Dai Mubai did not answer the question directly again, but there was not the slightest trace of remorse in his eyes. Still putting on the airs of a prince, he said to Zhu Zhuqing,

"Zhu Zhuqing, I can forgive your disrespect today. But since you came here for me, you should not be saying things you should not say at a time like this... You should know that only by standing with me will either of us have a chance to survive."

Dai Mubai clearly wanted to recover some of his lost dignity. At the very least, he needed Zhu Zhuqing to stay out of this so that he could deal with Tang San, who had ruined his plans.

As for that girl whose Martial Soul was a rabbit, Dai Mubai naturally saw no threat in her.

How could a Blue Silver Grass support-type Soul Master and a Soul Grandmaster with only two Soul Rings possibly be a match for his Evil Eye White Tiger?

After saying that, Dai Mubai even resumed his previous lofty young master demeanor and waited for Zhu Zhuqing's response.

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip hard, her beautiful eyes fixed on Dai Mubai with complicated disbelief. How much pain she was in at that moment, perhaps only she herself knew.

"You shameless bastard, see if I don't beat you to death today..."

Seeing that Dai Mubai not only refused to admit his mistake but was even threatening Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu gave a soft snort and raised her long, slender leg, ready to charge at him. Tang San promptly grabbed her and stopped her.

"Wait, Xiao Wu... Don't rush. Let's see what she decides..."

Tang San held Xiao Wu's arm and seriously glanced at the soft, sexy Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

Xiao Wu understood what Tang San meant as well. She lightly bit her lip before forcing herself to step back. Of course, she could see the three Soul Rings on Dai Mubai, especially that purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Xiao Wu knew that if she fought alone, she would not have much chance against Dai Mubai. But if she joined forces with this somewhat mysterious cat girl, that would be another matter. Two against one—they might really be able to beat that disgusting scumbag senseless together.

Especially if they were lucky and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass soul skill could provide its strongest support effect, she would be even more confident.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing still seemed hesitant, unsure whether she should remain by Dai Mubai's side, Tang San, who had long known how things would unfold, deliberately spoke in a calm, low voice.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I don't know exactly what relationship you have with that guy... But if you are truly willing to regard Xiao Wu and me as friends, then whatever you have to face in the future, we will face it together with you."

"Yeah..."

Xiao Wu was not jealous at all. She shot the disgusting Dai Mubai a fierce glare and said,

"Can't you see it yet? That scum does not think he did anything wrong at all. Instead, he keeps pressuring you. Why do you still want to stay with someone so disgusting? Little cat girl..."

Xiao Wu was clearly right. From the look in Dai Mubai's eyes, Tang San could plainly tell that those words really reflected his inner thoughts.

Combined with Dai Mubai's actions in the original story—such as checking out Meng Yiran's figure right in front of Zhu Zhuqing—it was obvious that Dai Mubai had never believed he had done anything to wrong Zhu Zhuqing. He felt that, as a prince, playing around with several women was perfectly normal. Even after Zhu Zhuqing arrived, he had secretly gone out to fool around.

In Dai Mubai's eyes, his status had always been far higher than Zhu Zhuqing's. Zhu Zhuqing should remain chaste for him, while he could indulge himself however he pleased. Even now, he still thought that way.

After a brief silence, the hesitation and turmoil in Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes gradually faded. She drew a deep breath and said wearily,

"Do you know, Dai Mubai? Ever since you abandoned me and secretly fled the Star Luo Empire alone to escape your fate, I knew you were no good... The reason you are indulging yourself here so recklessly is probably because you want to experience more of what you call happiness before facing your fate. But I truly never expected you to be such a bastard, still not feeling the slightest guilt toward me. What right does a cowardly, pathetic, disgusting man like you have to make me stay with you?"

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing seemed truly exhausted. She lowered her head gently, unwilling to look at Dai Mubai's disgusting face any longer.

"Leave, Dai Mubai. Pretend I was never here, and go on enjoying your so-called happiness."

"What... Zhu Zhuqing, how dare you speak to me like that? How did you become like this? You were never like this before..."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing humiliate him before outsiders once again, even calling him a pathetic and cowardly man, Dai Mubai's once smug face turned furious again. He suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes glaring viciously at Tang San beside her.

"It must be this guy. It must be Tang San who bewitched you... If I don't cripple him today, then I'm not the Evil Eye White Tiger..."

As he spoke, Dai Mubai suddenly clenched both fists. Enormous Soul Power erupted around them, directly overturning the table beside him. Clearly, he was preparing to attack Tang San—perhaps even kill him.

Because in Dai Mubai's memory, Zhu Zhuqing had always obeyed him. She was like his well-behaved maid. Although she did not speak much, she had never dared defy his orders.

There was one thing Dai Mubai had said correctly. In the Star Luo Empire, the Dai Clan was the true royal family. The Zhu Family had only been granted a status beneath one person and above all others because of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Yet even so, the Zhu Family had to pay a price for it. The greatest price was that the chosen girls in the family who possessed the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul had to share the Dai Clan princes' cruel fate. They had no room to choose. From birth, they were destined to marry men of the Dai Clan. If they dared refuse, their entire family would be implicated.

The Zhu Family appeared to hold a lofty status in the Star Luo Empire, but Zhu Zhuqing knew that not one man of the Zhu Family truly held power. Instead, all of them had been assigned to garrisons along the border between Tian Dou and Star Luo for one reason or another.

In other words, whether male or female, everyone in the Zhu Family was destined from birth to serve the Dai Royal Clan forever.

It was precisely because Zhu Zhuqing had learned of her family's fate from her father that she had become so cold. At first, she did not want to accept such a fate, but she could not change it either.

To avoid dragging down her family, Zhu Zhuqing could only stay by Dai Mubai's side like a maid from childhood.

Thus, in Dai Mubai's eyes, the obedient Zhu Zhuqing of the past should never have dared show him disrespect. But now that he had heard her say such words with his own ears, how could he possibly accept it? Naturally, he blamed everything on Tang San, believing Tang San had bewitched his fiancée.

"Cripple me? You?"

Tang San took a step back, pretending to be somewhat alarmed, but his heart was filled with disdain. Still, he had no intention of acting personally. Dai Mubai was simply not worthy of making him act.

What if he accidentally killed Dai Mubai with one punch? Wouldn't that be letting that bastard off too easily?

Besides, he was now Pope Bibi Dong's Personal Disciple. If he pretended he had nearly been bullied, then when his senior sister Hu Liena arrived, she could avenge him.

There were some things Tang San had only just learned. Just as Zhu Zhuqing had said, Dai Mubai had abandoned Zhu Zhuqing when she was still a little girl three years ago and fled alone to escape his family's fate. Wasn't that the act of a cowardly, selfish good-for-nothing?

While Zhu Zhuqing had been alone, helpless, and afraid in the Star Luo Empire, that bastard had been booking rooms with different girls every day in Suotuo City. He was often mocked by those girls too, yet remained completely unaware of it.

Dai Mubai actually understood this himself. He really had fled to Suotuo City because he feared death. His eagerness to change the subject and pin everything on Tang San had also been an attempt to conceal the panic in his heart.

But even though he knew it deep down, Dai Mubai was unwilling to admit that he was a cowardly, pathetic man. In this regard, he was just like Good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang.

At that moment, he only wanted to conceal the cowardice in his heart by displaying his great strength, and Tang San before him was the easiest target to bully.

In the blink of an eye, Dai Mubai had entered Martial Soul Possession. Both hands had turned into tiger paws covered in white fur. He looked menacing, his face fierce as he pressed toward Tang San.

Seeing the viciousness and killing intent in Dai Mubai's eyes, the usually mischievous and adorable Xiao Wu immediately turned serious. She hurriedly spread her arms and stood in front of Tang San, saying anxiously,

"Third Brother, run! I'll stop him..."
