I'm Just After Her Body—What Can You Do About It?

Late at night, Haiming sat in the pavilion outside a hotel in Soto City, drinking tea and admiring the moon.

To be honest, aside from certain rural areas, he had not seen such a brilliant starry sky for far too long in his previous life.

Back on Sea God Island, Haiming had liked gazing up at the stars, emptying his mind and roaming through the imagined sea of stars.

Any man would have a strong interest in the unknown reaches of space.

Otherwise, why would so many people love the phrase, "My journey is the sea of stars"?

Footsteps came from behind him, but Haiming did not turn around.

"Is there something you need?"

Looking at Haiming, who was still gazing at the stars, Dai Mubai opened his mouth but did not know what to say.

Should he ask about Haiming's relationship with Zhu Zhuqing?

Or ask what his intentions were?

They were both men. The moment Dai Mubai saw Haiming, he felt an inexplicable threat. It was somewhat intangible, yet undeniably real.

He could sense that Haiming's appearance would take away something that belonged to him!

"Do you want to ask about my relationship with her? We're just friends."

Haiming pushed a teacup over and poured Dai Mubai a cup of tea. His gaze was exceptionally calm.

"Friends?" Dai Mubai drained the tea in one gulp. The motion tugged at the wound on his chest, but he seemed not to feel it. "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Then what are you trying to say?"

Haiming asked in return. To be honest, his impression of Dai Mubai was merely average.

As a friend or a brother, Dai Mubai was absolutely the kind of man one could trust with one's heart.

Whenever Shrek fought, even if their opponent was stronger than him, he was always the first man to charge forward.

But as a man, Dai Mubai was unqualified!

It was not because he flirted around. In this world, strength was everything; the rest was not all that important.

What made Dai Mubai unqualified was that he had disregarded another person's efforts and hopes, abandoned her safety, and fled alone from this so-called fate!

One could imagine what would have become of them if Zhu Zhuqing had not come looking for him.

Dai Mubai would have been killed by his older brother, while Zhu Zhuqing, even if she did not die, would have become his older brother's plaything and surely suffered her older sister's vicious treatment.

"Zhuqing..." Dai Mubai pondered for a long time, his voice slightly hoarse. "Before she came to Shrek Academy, did something happen to her?"

Haiming quietly looked at Dai Mubai. "Why do you think that?"

"Before I left the Star Luo Empire, it was absolutely impossible for Zhuqing to know you." Dai Mubai raised his head and closed his eyes. His pair of differently colored pupils were filled with pain.

Haiming nodded and continued looking quietly at Dai Mubai.

"Then she must have met you after I left Star Luo. But even after I left, the Zhu Clan would never have allowed her to come into contact with other men. That means she could only have met you on the way to Shrek Academy!"

"Not bad analysis."

Haiming set down his teacup and casually picked up the folding fan beside him. Without opening it, he merely waved it lightly.

"You want to know what happened to her? Nothing much. I merely saved a little cat that was about to drown." Haiming tugged at the corner of his mouth, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Drowning? A little cat?" Dai Mubai's face went from pale to red, then from red back to pale!

He was not an idiot. He could hear the mockery in Haiming's words.

So the Zhu Clan had indeed sent people to hunt Zhuqing down after she left Star Luo!

But were this man's words not a little too suggestive?

"Thank you for saving Zhuqing. But I assume you know that she and I have a marriage contract?" Dai Mubai asked tentatively. When he saw Haiming's calm expression, he understood that the man before him knew everything. "Then please stay away from Zhuqing."

Looking at Dai Mubai, whose tone was gradually becoming stiff, Haiming raised a finger and shook it. His gaze fell on the bushes in the distance, and a wicked smile curled across his lips.

"Dai Mubai, I really don't understand where you got the confidence to say something like that. If I'm not mistaken, there's no affection between you and her at all, right? Or perhaps there once was, but now..."

Seeing Dai Mubai's face turn even paler, Haiming suddenly felt exceptionally pleased for some reason. He leaned against a pavilion pillar, his voice deep and magnetic.

"Feelings can be cultivated!"

"What about a Martial Soul Fusion Technique? As long as there's even a little affection between you and her, you should be able to use a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, right? Its power might be great or small, but why have I never seen you use it? Are you trying to keep a trump card hidden, or can't you use it at all?"

Haiming's words completely tore open the wound in Dai Mubai's heart, leaving him feeling powerless.

Haiming walked over to Dai Mubai's side and spoke softly into his ear.

"She's a good girl. Even when she was on the verge of death, she still unwillingly wanted an answer. I didn't come here with her, but looking at it now, the answer you gave her was a textbook wrong answer!"

Haiming patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder and turned toward the hotel.

"Oh, right. Never mind that I've known her for less than a day and only know her name. Even if I lust after her body, what can you do about it?"

Haiming turned halfway back with a faintly mocking smile. Four vivid blood-red Soul Rings rose beneath his feet. Their dazzling color drained the light from Dai Mubai's eyes, and he did not even hear the disturbance coming from behind the nearby bushes!

Inside a hotel room, the still-shaken Ning Rongrong grabbed the blushing Zhu Zhuqing beside her and chattered away without pause.

"The jade pendant is in his hands, and you refused to tell me all this time. Were you afraid I'd use the sect's power to harm him? What were you thinking?"

"Did you see his Soul Rings? They were hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings! Even Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone don't have hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings! How could he have four of them?"

[As everyone knows, the color of Soul Rings cannot be changed, so they cannot lie. (Funny.jpg)]

"He doesn't look very old, yet he's already a Soul Ancestor!"

"Did you hear what he said at the end, Zhuqing? He said he lusted after your body... Hiss! If I were a man, I'd lust after it too!"

Ning Rongrong's gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing's chest. Her eyes darted around, and she let out a cry before pouncing on her.

The room immediately became an intoxicatingly seductive sight, putting even a hundred flowers to shame!
