After walking for about ten minutes, Ye Chen and Zhu Zhuqing saw a shabbily dressed sixty-two-year-old woman lead Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun into a village.

The village was extremely rundown, and there was even a foul smell in the air. One could only imagine how terrible the conditions were.

Yet despite that, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun showed no disgust at all. Their eyes were already gleaming as they waited to get down to business.

If the brothel had not been right before their eyes, they might not even have spared that sixty-two-year-old young lady.

After all, it was obvious that this old woman had been no ordinary person in her youth. You could tell just from the way she walked.

Ye Chen and Zhu Zhuqing followed behind, enduring the dilapidated surroundings without making much noise.

Then, Ye Chen saw the shabbily dressed woman bring Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun to a rundown house and gently knock on its door.

Before long, an old woman who looked to be in her forties opened the door and said,

"Oh, we have guests."

The old woman's eyes immediately lit up when she saw Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.

"Yes... yes... yes... hurry and entertain them."

As the shabbily dressed woman spoke, she led Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun inside.

Then the door closed behind them.

Before long, sounds came from inside.

What kind of sounds were they? Everyone naturally understood.

It was the voice of that old woman from earlier. No one knew what she was shouting, and there seemed to be other women as well.

Zhu Zhuqing could no longer endure it. Clenching her fists with killing intent, she said,

"Dai Mubai, that beastly bastard, that disgusting thing... he won't even spare women that old. It's revolting. I really don't even want to touch him again in the future."

"Yeah... yeah, look at this place. It stinks to high heaven..."

Ye Chen, transformed into Hinata Hyuga, wore an adorably disgusted expression as he continued,

"That fat guy, Ma Hongjun, is disgusting too. All right, Zhuqing, I'll stand guard here. Go get Tang San and have him deal with those two disgusting scum."

"I..."

Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled. Seeing what had happened, seeing all of Dai Mubai's revolting actions, she had originally wanted to turn around and leave.

But when she heard the Byakugan girl's words and remembered everything she had given over the past nineteen years, she gritted her teeth and suppressed the grief and fury in her heart.

"Fine. I'll go find Third Brother."

With that, Zhu Zhuqing left.

Ye Chen remained where he was out of boredom. Then he activated the Rinnegan, and after just one glance, he nearly threw up.

"Holy shit..."

Still transformed into Hinata Hyuga, Ye Chen quickly covered his clean lips and rubbed his stomach, barely managing not to lose his composure.

Then, still shaken, he muttered to himself,

"This is way too disgusting. It nearly killed me. I'd better be more careful in the future. I'm the true body of Six Paths of Pain..."

But then Ye Chen suddenly felt that Hinata Hyuga, the form he had taken with the Transformation Technique, looked rather imposing in the Akatsuki Organization's black uniform patterned with red clouds.

"This works too. That means I can have another identity in the future. Whenever I want to beat women, or beat up Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, I can transform into Hinata Hyuga and wear the Akatsuki Organization uniform..."

Not bad, not bad. It felt even better when cute girls beat other girls.

Ye Chen had no favorable impression of Xiao Wu or Ning Rongrong. And Bai Chenxiang too—when the time came, he would kill them all.

He would use Hinata Hyuga's identity to torment them to death. That would feel great.

Of course, that would also require Zhu Zhuqing's cooperation.

The scene shifted. By then, Zhu Zhuqing had already rushed back to the hotel. As an agility-type Soul Master with the Netherworld Spirit Cat martial soul, her speed was beyond question.

After reaching the second floor, Zhu Zhuqing immediately came to Tang San's door, knocked, and called out,

"Third Brother, come out quickly. I need to talk to you."

"What is it, Zhuqing..."

Tang San quickly opened the door. He had been cultivating and had not been resting.

Looking at Tang San's hypocritical face, Zhu Zhuqing instead regarded him as her savior. With a wronged and sorrowful expression, she said,

"Third Brother, do you know? Every day, I work hard to buy medicine for Dai Mubai and change his bandages, yet he goes behind my back to... that kind of place. He never changed. He has been deceiving me all along."

By the end, Zhu Zhuqing was nearly hysterical and had raised her voice.

The commotion caused Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang, who were not far away, to open their doors and look over.

"Zhuqing, what happened?"

Ning Rongrong stepped out of her room and asked with concern.

When Tang San heard that it involved Dai Mubai's scandal and recalled what had happened during the day, he hurriedly waved his hand and said,

"It's nothing. It's just something involving Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's families. You two continue cultivating. I'll talk with Zhuqing alone."

With that, Tang San immediately followed Zhu Zhuqing out of the hotel and onto the deserted streets at night.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, her face filled with sorrow, Tang San began pondering to himself.

Could it be that Zhuqing found out about what happened during the day... No, that's impossible. She wasn't there during the day. What should I do... How can I persuade her not to be angry with Boss Dai?

That was indeed Tang San's current thinking. Just as Ye Chen had anticipated, Tang San believed there was nothing wrong with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun going to a brothel. Perhaps because he too was an old man, he felt that men going to such places was a normal need.

It would be better not to go, but going was no big deal either. It was only that little thing.

So what Tang San was thinking about was not how to punish or rein in Dai Mubai. He was still thinking about how to deceive Zhu Zhuqing alongside Dai Mubai and make her stop caring about it.

As he planned in his heart and watched Zhu Zhuqing continue walking forward, Tang San could not help saying,

"Zhuqing, don't be angry. I think there may be some misunderstanding here... I know Boss Dai well. He is a very responsible man..."

"Responsible?"

Zhu Zhuqing stopped walking, bit her lip hard, and said with killing intent in her eyes,

"Third Brother, do you know? In Dai Mubai's eyes, I, Zhu Zhuqing, am nothing more than a breeding tool used by the Dai Royal Clan to continue its bloodline. He even looks down on his own birth mother, because his mother was also a woman of the Zhu Clan. Do you understand now?"

"What...?"

Tang San truly did not understand at that moment. Then he could not help asking,

"Then where is Boss Dai now?"

"Him... he's having a grand time in a village, together with that disgusting fat man. Follow me, and I'll take you to see how revolting they are."

With that, Zhu Zhuqing turned around with an icy expression and swiftly slipped through the night.
