A Hero Rescuing a Beauty Within the Script

The twin sisters saw that things were going wrong and immediately slipped away.

After all, it was obvious that the legitimate wife had come knocking—and one who started throwing hands without a word.

Were they supposed to stay and wait to die?

It was not just the twin sisters. Most of the restaurant's patrons fled the moment Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing began fighting.

The restaurant manager did not stop them. Instead, he stood behind the bar with a smile, watching the two of them.

They were never afraid of people fighting in the restaurant. In fact, they loved customers like that. It would not matter if there was a new brawl every day.

Someone would compensate them for the damages, and renovations meant paid time off. What was not to like?

Dai Mubai lowered his head to look at his continuously bleeding arms, and his expression instantly turned exceptionally grim. A chill also crept into his eyes.

He looked up at Zhu Zhuqing, who had not pressed her advantage, his voice cold as ice.

"Don't think I'm holding back because I can't beat you. If you keep acting crazy, do you believe I can make sure you never walk out of this restaurant?"

Zhu Zhuqing had not followed up because that claw strike had allowed her to vent some of the grievance and anger in her heart.

But she had never expected Dai Mubai to say something like that.

The anger that had already subsided considerably flared up completely again after his provocation.

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "You can try."

She knew she was definitely no match for Dai Mubai, but there was no way she would bow her head and admit defeat now.

Even if she died here today, she would never lower her head.

She had suffered so much in Star Luo City and had only barely managed to escape. She had thought that once she found Dai Mubai, she would have someone to rely on.

But what had happened?

She had thought Dai Mubai had fled Star Luo City so he could gather strength somewhere Dai Weisi and the others could not see, then find an opportunity to fight his way back.

But what had happened?

That bastard seemed to have long forgotten that he was a prince of Star Luo, and long forgotten that his fiancée was still suffering in Star Luo City.

That alone would have been bad enough.

But after that bastard had been caught red-handed doing something wrong, she had merely vented her frustration, and he was already trying to kill her at the slightest disagreement.

What was there left to expect from a man like that?

Even if she died today, she had to tear a piece of flesh off him in repayment for all the suffering she had endured over the years.

"You..."

Dai Mubai had only spoken in anger, but her response immediately left him feeling unable to back down.

Especially when he saw the manager at the counter, standing there with his arms folded and watching the show.

That seemingly indifferent gaze looked full of mockery to him, stoking his anger even further.

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."

Driven to the limit, Dai Mubai let out a furious roar. His body rapidly swelled as golden light spread outward.

His bulging muscles stretched his clothes to their limits.

A faint character for "king" appeared on his forehead, while thick claws, even more robust than Zhu Zhuqing's cat claws, extended from his ten fingers.

Two yellow and one purple Spirit Rings rose from beneath his feet in succession.

The instant he completed his Martial Soul possession, he shot forward. His speed was not much slower than Zhu Zhuqing's, despite her being an agility-type Spirit Master.

And while maintaining that speed, his charge was filled with strength and explosive force.

As Dai Mubai rushed forward, he retracted the claws on his right hand and clenched it into a fist. A faint golden glow gathered around his knuckles.

Zhu Zhuqing's reaction was not slow either. The instant he made his charge, she retreated.

Whoosh!

The powerful fist nearly brushed past Zhu Zhuqing's face, making every hair on her body stand on end in an instant.

"Second Soul Skill, Hell's Hundred Claws!"

Zhu Zhuqing's second Spirit Ring quietly lit up, and her body instantly shifted from retreating to counterattacking.

The Star Luo Imperial Family and the Dai Family had been joined by marriage for many years. They knew each other all too well.

Like the Dai Family, the Zhu Clan had to choose the same soul beasts for their first few Spirit Rings, so the Soul Skills they obtained were naturally identical as well.

Dai Mubai knew full well how powerful Zhu Zhuqing's second Soul Skill was, so he did not dare let down his guard in the slightest. He immediately channeled soul power into his first Spirit Ring.

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Body Shield!"

As his first Spirit Ring lit up, a golden energy barrier instantly enveloped his massive body.

Clang, clang, clang...

A dense barrage of impacts rang out through the restaurant. Zhu Zhuqing moved so fast that she was nearly impossible to track.

However, if an expert had been present, they would have noticed that she was repeatedly attacking the exact same spot on Dai Mubai's turtle shell at incredible speed.

In less than half a minute, she had already attacked more than a hundred times.

Her speed was extraordinary, but her attack power seemed slightly lacking. Even after more than a hundred strikes, she had only barely shattered Dai Mubai's shield.

Yet at the very instant Dai Mubai's shield broke, his second Spirit Ring quietly lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Radiant Wave!"

Dai Mubai opened his mouth and violently spat out a milky-white beam, aiming directly at Zhu Zhuqing as she tried to pull away and retreat.

Boom!

The beam shot forward and struck one of the restaurant walls head-on. A violent explosion suddenly echoed through the restaurant.

A huge hole was blasted through that wall by Dai Mubai's attack.

But Dai Mubai's expression was far from pleasant. He abruptly turned toward the person nearby who was holding Zhu Zhuqing in a bridal carry.

"Kid, are you looking to die?"

Dai Mubai glared fiercely at Lin Chen. If looks could kill, Lin Chen would already have been cut into a thousand pieces.

At that distance, Zhu Zhuqing had no chance to evade.

If that damned fellow had not interfered, Zhu Zhuqing might not have died outright, but she definitely would have been seriously injured.

Then, naturally, Dai Mubai would have saved face.

As long as he said a few conciliatory words afterward from the position of the victor, this farce would be over, and he could slowly figure out how to win Zhu Zhuqing over again.

Yet some blind fool had chosen to jump out and seek death.

How was that possible?

Zhu Zhuqing stared up at Lin Chen's handsome face in utter shock.

All the restaurant patrons had long since fled, so Lin Chen and his companion, who had remained behind, naturally had not escaped her and Dai Mubai's notice.

After all, if they could not even observe their surroundings properly, how could they fight?

Of course, that was not the important part. The important part was that their seats had been at least ten meters away from where she had just been.

She, who had been right beside Dai Mubai, had been unable to dodge his strike at all. Yet someone more than ten meters away had arrived in time to save her.

What kind of terrifying speed was that?

If the person who had saved her had been middle-aged, she would not have been so shocked. But Lin Chen was a young man who did not look much older than her.

This was far too outrageous.
