The twin sisters sensed that things were going south and immediately slipped away.
After all, this was clearly the rightful wife coming to confront her, and one who started throwing punches the moment she arrived.
Were they supposed to stay and wait to die?
Not just the twin sisters—most of the restaurant's customers fled the instant Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing started fighting.
The restaurant manager did not stop them. Instead, he stood behind the bar with a smile, watching Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
They were never afraid of people fighting in the restaurant. On the contrary, they loved customers like that. It would be fine even if one such incident happened every day.
Someone would compensate them for the damages, and they could take a break while the place was renovated. What was not to like?
Dai Mubai lowered his head to look at his continuously bleeding arms. His expression instantly turned extremely gloomy, and a chill unconsciously seeped into his eyes.
He looked up at Zhu Zhuqing, who had not pressed her advantage, his voice as 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 continued attacking because that claw strike had vented the grievance and anger in her heart.
But she had never expected Dai Mubai to say something like that.
The anger that had already calmed considerably within her was instantly reignited and completely exploded by Dai Mubai's provocation.
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "You can try."
She knew she was definitely no match for Dai Mubai, but asking her to lower her head and admit defeat now was impossible.
Even if she died here today, she would never lower her head and surrender.
She had suffered so much in Star Luo City and had only managed to escape with great difficulty. She had thought that once she found Dai Mubai, she would finally have someone to rely on.
But what happened?
She had thought Dai Mubai fled Star Luo City to build up his strength somewhere Dai Weisi and the others could not see, then seize an opportunity to kill his way back.
But what happened?
That bastard seemed to have long forgotten that he was a prince of Star Luo, and that his fiancée was still suffering in Star Luo City.
That alone would have been one thing.
But after that bastard had been caught red-handed, she had merely vented a little, and he was already trying to kill her over a 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 from him as payment for all the suffering she had endured over the years.
"You..."
Dai Mubai had only spoken in anger, but after being provoked by her, he immediately felt that he could no longer back down.
Especially when he saw the manager at the counter, arms folded as he watched the show.
That seemingly indifferent gaze looked full of mockery to him, making his anger surge even higher.
"Since you're looking to die, I'll grant your wish."
Pushed beyond his limit, Dai Mubai let out a furious shout. His body rapidly swelled as golden light spread outward.
The bulging muscles strained his clothes to the breaking point.
A faint character for "king" appeared on his forehead, while claws even thicker and sturdier 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 Martial Soul Possession, his figure shot forward, his speed not much slower than Zhu Zhuqing's despite her being an agility-type Spirit Master.
And while possessing such speed, his charge was also filled with power 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 move to charge, she retreated.
Whoosh!
The heavy, powerful fist nearly brushed past Zhu Zhuqing's face, making every hair on her body stand on end.
"Second Spirit Skill, Hell's Hundred Claws!"
Zhu Zhuqing's second Spirit Ring quietly lit up, and her figure 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's first several Spirit Rings had to come from the same Spirit Beasts, so the Spirit Skills they gained were naturally identical as well.
Dai Mubai knew full well how powerful Zhu Zhuqing's second Spirit Skill was, so he did not dare be careless. He immediately poured Soul Power into his first Spirit Ring.
"First Spirit Skill, White Tiger Body Shield!"
As his first Spirit Ring lit up, a golden energy shield instantly enveloped his massive body.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
A dense barrage of collisions rang out through the restaurant. Zhu Zhuqing moved so quickly that she was difficult to follow with the naked eye.
But if an expert had been present, they would have discovered that she was attacking the same spot on Dai Mubai's shell again and again at incredible speed.
In less than half a minute, she had already attacked more than a hundred times.
Her speed was fast, but her attack power seemed slightly lacking. Even after more than a hundred attacks, she had only barely shattered Dai Mubai's shield.
Yet at the exact instant Dai Mubai's shield broke, his second Spirit Ring quietly lit up.
"Second Spirit Skill, White Tiger Radiant Wave!"
Dai Mubai opened his mouth and violently spat out a milky-white wave of light, striking directly at Zhu Zhuqing as she was about to pull away and retreat.
Boom!
The light wave shot out and slammed directly into one wall of the restaurant. A violent explosion suddenly erupted within the restaurant.
That wall was blasted open with a massive hole by Dai Mubai's light wave.
But Dai Mubai's expression did not look good. He abruptly turned his head toward the person not far away, who was holding Zhu Zhuqing in a princess carry.
"Kid, are you looking to die?"
Dai Mubai glared intensely at Lin Chen. If looks could kill, Lin Chen would have already been cut into a thousand pieces.
At that distance, Zhu Zhuqing had no time to dodge at all.
If that damned fellow had not interfered, Zhu Zhuqing would not have died outright, but she would definitely have been severely injured.
Then, naturally, his dignity would have been preserved.
As long as he then said a few conciliatory words from the position of the victor, this farce would be over, and he could slowly think of a way to coax Zhu Zhuqing afterward.
Yet some blind fool had to jump out and court death.
How is that possible?
Zhu Zhuqing stared up at Lin Chen's handsome face in utter shock.
The restaurant's customers had long since fled, so Lin Chen and his companion, who had remained behind the entire time, naturally could not escape 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 key point. The key was that their seats had been at least ten meters away from where she had just stood.
She, who had been right there, had no ability to dodge Dai Mubai's attack, yet someone more than ten meters away had managed to reach her in time and save her.
What kind of terrifying speed was that?
If the person who had saved her were middle-aged, she would not have been so shocked. But the one who had saved her was a young man who did not look much older than she was.
Wasn't that far too absurd?
