Dai Mubai's Death

"White Tiger Fierce Light Wave! White Tiger Fierce Light Wave! White Tiger..."

Dai Mubai muttered under his breath, but his overwhelming fear left him unable to even muster his Soul Power.

Especially when he saw those golden pupils brimming with divinity, he was so terrified that he could barely speak properly.

"I... I was wrong, Lin Yan!"

"Brother, good brother! Aren't we good brothers? Spare me!"

"We've known each other for over two years. You treated me so many times during that period. We're good brothers!"

Lin Yan said nothing. He walked up to Dai Mubai and simply stared at him coldly.

His longsword, wreathed in blazing flames, pointed at the ground. The twelve wings behind him burned fiercely, and together with the radiant crown above his head, Lin Yan looked like a god of judgment standing above all living beings.

"Y-you remember, right? Back then, I was even going to help you deal with Tang San."

"Please, for old times' sake, spare me!"

Dai Mubai stammered out a whole string of words, trying to awaken Lin Yan's memories of the past and win his sympathy.

But Lin Yan remained silent, and the pressure on Dai Mubai only grew greater until, finally...

"I'll give Zhuqing to you! I'll give Zhuqing to you, Lin Yan!"

"Don't you like Zhuqing? From now on, Zhuqing is yours. As long as you spare me, I'll do anything you want."

Not far away, when Zhu Zhuqing heard Dai Mubai say such things, she could not help but feel sick, even though she knew that she and Lin Yan had already confirmed their relationship.

It seemed she had been right to leave him. A man who treated his former fiancée as a bargaining chip was utterly disgusting.

Before long...

Dai Mubai looked at Lin Yan, who had remained tight-lipped while fixing him with an icy stare. At last, unable to bear the pressure any longer, he broke down.

"Fuck!"

"Say something, damn it!"

"White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Fear turned into rage, allowing Dai Mubai to instantly complete Martial Soul Possession.

However... with a single slash of Lin Yan's sword, Dai Mubai's entire left shoulder was severed, and the attack he had been gathering was abruptly interrupted.

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded.

Not only was he shocked by Lin Yan's strength, but he was also stunned to find that he felt no pain at all after losing his shoulder.

At the same time, Lin Yan finally spoke.

"Did you really think I knew nothing?"

"What?"

The indifferent tone contained no emotion whatsoever, making Dai Mubai's body tremble.

"Has anyone ever told you that you're terrible at controlling your expressions?"

"From the moment we entered the Star Dou Great Forest, that gloomy look in your eyes had already completely exposed today's plan."

"Brotherhood is in the heart?"

"Heh."

Lin Yan had originally intended to humiliate Dai Mubai viciously after dealing with all his enemies. But while in Martial Soul Possession, that detached divinity affected his thoughts, making him disdain everything...

He had lost interest in taking revenge on Dai Mubai.

It was as if the evil committed by a mere mortal was, in his eyes, nothing more than a chance to witness the distortion of human nature.

Lin Yan turned around and directed his gaze at the two girls in the distance.

"Zhuqing, Rongrong, come here."

Hearing this, the two girls finally snapped out of their immense shock and quickly walked to Lin Yan's side.

Lin Yan spoke calmly.

"You remember what this guy just said, right?"

"I'll leave him to you. Do it."

Seeing this, a sliver of hope quickly lit up in Dai Mubai's originally despairing expression.

He was handing the decision over his life and death to these two?

That was wonderful! As long as it was not Lin Yan, who stayed silent and might strike him down at any moment, then being dealt with by these two women meant he still had a chance of survival.

With that thought, he put on a ferocious expression, intending to intimidate Zhu Zhuqing directly.

"You dare!"

"Bitch, if you dare kill me here, you'll be standing against the entire Xingluo Royal Family. My father won't let you off. When that happens, the entire Imperial Family will hunt you down!"

"Your Zhu Family will suffer because of you too."

Then Dai Mubai changed his tone and softened his voice.

"Zhu Zhuqing, as long as you let me go, I'll have my father dissolve our engagement. Then you can go wherever you want with Lin Yan, and the Imperial Family won't interfere. How about it?"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Yan, as though seeking his opinion.

Lin Yan gave Dai Mubai a cold glance before speaking to the girl.

"Do you dare?"

Zhu Zhuqing said, "What's there to be afraid of? Rongrong, together!"

"Okay!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the two girls flipped their wrists. A pink cannon barrel and a purple cannon barrel simultaneously aimed at Dai Mubai's head.

"N-no!"

"Lin Yan, spare me! As long as you're willing to spare me, I'll give you all my property. It'll all be yours!"

"And I promise I'll never appear before you again."

Evening.

A cool breeze drifted by, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

Inside the Soto Great Soul Fighting Arena, Lin Yan had already set up a table and his little stall.

He reclined in a wide chair, with Zhu Zhuqing's lush, full figure on his left and Ning Rongrong's delicate cuteness on his right. He was living quite the charmed life.

Meng Qian, who was at the registration desk nearby, teased him when she saw this.

"Oh?"

"Lin Yan got himself another new girlfriend?"

Lin Yan turned his head and smiled.

"Sister Qian!"

"This is Zhu Zhuqing. She's my classmate, and she's also my girlfriend."

"Zhuqing, this is Sister Qian. We had late-night snacks together before."

Like Ning Rongrong had been before, Zhu Zhuqing politely and obediently greeted Meng Qian.

"Hello, Sister Qian."

"Hello, Zhuqing. Hello, Zhuqing!"

"You little brat, each of your girlfriends is prettier than the last. You really are blessed with women."

Meng Qian said coquettishly. Her fair face was full of charm, and when Lin Yan saw it, he teased her.

"You're very pretty too, Sister Qian."

"Ah? I..."

Meng Qian froze for a moment, and then a blush swiftly spread across her face.

Why is this brat praising me in front of his two girlfriends? Does he have feelings for me? But I'm just an ordinary person... And wouldn't his two girlfriends mind?

Truthfully, Lin Yan was merely in a good mood and casually complimented Meng Qian.

He had teased her before, and had even told dirty jokes, but he had not expected a single sentence today to draw out all of Meng Qian's girlish thoughts.

It was so sudden...

Before long, Flender and his group arrived at the Great Soul Arena with the students who needed to register for Soul Fighting, as well as Yu Xiaogang.

Flender was the first to greet Lin Yan, and Lin Yan responded with a smile as though nothing had happened.

"Dean, you're here!"

"Where's Mubai? I haven't seen him all day. Registration for Soul Fighting has already started, but he's nowhere to be found."

Flender frowned. He had originally thought that Dai Mubai, whom he had failed to find at the academy, would be at the Soul Fighting Arena. But it seemed Dai Mubai was not with Lin Yan either. Where could he have gone?

"I'm not sure either. He left after we ate together. I thought he'd already gone back to the academy."

Lin Yan appeared perfectly calm. He had no intention of making up an excuse for Dai Mubai's sudden disappearance. For one thing, he could not be bothered, and for another, there was no need.

He might as well let Flender and the others guess...

Flender frowned. "You weren't with him?"

"No."

"I've been shopping with Rongrong and Zhuqing. We only arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena not long ago."

"Maybe he's already in the Contestant Lounge."

Still unable to find Dai Mubai, Flender could not help growing irritated. In the end, he could only place his hopes on the Contestant Lounge and hurry to finish registration.

Soon, everyone completed their respective registrations for one-on-one and two-on-two matches, except Zhu Zhuqing...

Xiao Wu looked curiously at Zhu Zhuqing, who had been especially close to Lin Yan today, and asked.

"Zhuqing, aren't you registering for Soul Fighting today?"

"No, I'm not."

Xiao Wu frowned at that, but it was someone else's business, so she could not say much.

Flender was also in too much of a hurry to find Dai Mubai to concern himself with Zhu Zhuqing's willfulness.

And so... the large group entered the Contestant Lounge.

During that time, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San did not forget to glance at Lin Yan.

After everyone had left, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly leaned into Lin Yan's arms.

"Lin Yan, should we... tell everyone about our relationship?"

PS:

Please urge for updates, and please send recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.

As for Meng Qian, type 1 if you want her included, and type 2 if you don't.

Of course, even if she joins, it will only be temporary. She won't always stay with them.
