Evil-Eyed White Tiger (Second Update)

"Hey! Kid, how much did you pay for this woman? I'll pay double!" Seeing Zhu Zhuqing remain silent, merely glaring at him with a dark expression, anger rose on Dai Mubai's face as well. He pointed at Lin Qing.

"My apologies, sir customer, but Zhuqing is my friend, not some prostitute. Please don't use that brain of yours full of filthy thoughts to baselessly speculate about my friend, and don't use that mouth of yours, good only for spewing crap, to casually slander her." Lin Qing's expression darkened as he stepped forward and shielded Zhu Zhuqing behind him.

"Lin Qing's right! You old whoremonger, how dare you insult Zhuqing! Lin Qing, hurry up and beat him up—knock all his teeth out if you can!" Xiao Wu came over to Zhu Zhuqing as well, linking arms with her and pointing at Dai Mubai.

Hearing Xiao Wu's taunts, Lin Qing smiled faintly. In truth, he had deliberately mentioned Zhu Zhuqing's name in front of Dai Mubai. Even if Dai Mubai had never met his fiancée and did not know what she looked like, he definitely knew her name.

Lin Qing intended to expose both their identities here and give Zhu Zhuqing a push from behind, to see what choice she would make under these circumstances.

If she still leaves herself room to turn back, then I'll have to reconsider how I treat Zhu Zhuqing. Lin Qing watched for her decision.

And just as Lin Qing had expected, when Dai Mubai heard Zhu Zhuqing's name, he froze completely, so much so that he did not hear any of the insults Lin Qing and Xiao Wu hurled afterward.

"Zhuqing, you're Zhu Zhuqing?" Dai Mubai finally came back to his senses and asked.

"That's right, Dai Mubai. I'm Zhu Zhuqing, the fiancée you abandoned." Zhu Zhuqing heavily emphasized the words "abandoned," as though reminding Dai Mubai exactly how he had treated her.

After Zhu Zhuqing confirmed her identity, Dai Mubai first regretted his earlier behavior for a single second. Then his eyes turned icy as he looked at Lin Qing. Pointing at Zhu Zhuqing, he roared, "Fine! Zhu Zhuqing, and you still say you're not some common whore! I'm your fiancée's—no, your fiancé! Yet you've been fooling around with this brat behind my back! Zhu Zhuqing, fine! You're really something!" The more Dai Mubai thought about it, the angrier he became.

Zhu Zhuqing had originally thought Dai Mubai would apologize for his earlier offensive words, or at least try to justify himself. Yet she never expected him to start accusing her outright. This display turned her view of Dai Mubai from that of a stranger into that of scum who had to be eliminated.

Zhu Zhuqing was not the only one unable to understand Dai Mubai's thought process; even Xiao Wu was thoroughly stunned by his words. Hadn't Dai Mubai been the one to abandon Zhu Zhuqing first? If Lin Qing had not happened to encounter and save Zhuqing, it was hard to say whether Dai Mubai would ever see his fiancée again.

Moreover, Xiao Wu had watched everything along the way. Though Lin Qing had taken good care of Zhu Zhuqing, he had always been proper and kept his distance. Yet Dai Mubai began slandering Zhu Zhuqing without distinguishing right from wrong. No matter how she thought about it, Xiao Wu could not understand how Dai Mubai's brain worked.

"Dai Mubai! Fine! Since that's how you see me, then I'll give you exactly what you want!" Dai Mubai truly was something else. He had actually angered the aloof and quiet Zhu Zhuqing to this extent, leaving Lin Qing genuinely shocked.

Zhu Zhuqing broke free from Xiao Wu's grasp, pointed at Dai Mubai, and cursed, "Dai Mubai, you're human scum! You abandoned your fiancée and came here alone to live it up! Don't you think something happened between Lin Qing and me? Fine, then I'll give you exactly what you want!"

With that, Zhu Zhuqing naturally linked her arm through Lin Qing's left arm and said, "Allow me to introduce him. This is my boyfriend, Lin Qing." Then, while both Lin Qing and Xiao Wu were still stunned, Zhu Zhuqing rose onto her toes, held Lin Qing's face, and planted a sweet kiss directly on his lips.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's actions, Lin Qing, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai were all too shocked to say a word.

After the kiss, a faint flush swept across Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face, but she quickly suppressed it. Then she looked calmly and coldly at the still-disbelieving Dai Mubai. "Dai Mubai, the engagement between us ends here. Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll personally go to the Star Luo Imperial Family to call off the engagement!"

"Ahhh—!" Hearing Zhu Zhuqing speak, Dai Mubai snapped out of it, only to fly into a furious rage.

White Tiger Possession! Dai Mubai immediately activated his Martial Soul. His shoulders broadened outward, muscles bulged along his arms, and his palms transformed into tiger claws. Sharp talons gleamed with a chilling light.

His body suddenly grew taller and larger, making him far more imposing. His golden hair turned into long white hair, while black light slowly formed the character "King" on his forehead.

Finally, three Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—rose from beneath Dai Mubai's feet and circled his body. Combined with his enraged expression and aura, they made him seem like a ferocious god of death.

"Zhu Zhuqing! And you, you pretty-boy! You shameless pair, both of you can go die!" Dai Mubai roared, brandishing his tiger claws as he charged toward Lin Qing and Zhu Zhuqing.

At that moment, the manager who had been called over had just reached the hall when he saw Dai Mubai, Martial Soul activated and face twisted with rage, charging toward the three people before the counter.

Thinking the two sides had started fighting over a room dispute, the manager hurried forward, intending to stop Dai Mubai.

"Young Master Dai, calm down! We can give you the room, but please don't wreck our hotel!" The manager truly feared nothing, directly placing himself between Lin Qing and Dai Mubai.

"Get out of my way!" Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like a bull. He was nearly irrational at this point; how could he possibly hear the manager's words?

Still, this manager was genuinely brave. An ordinary man who was not even a Soul Master dared to block a Soul Elder in the midst of a furious rage. All I can say is that his boss ought to promote him and raise his pay!

Seeing Dai Mubai charge at him, Lin Qing remained utterly calm. Forget the current Dai Mubai—even a Soul King-level Dai Mubai could be dealt with barehanded given Lin Qing's current strength.

"Zhuqing, get behind me!" Lin Qing had no time to savor that kiss any longer. Pulling Zhu Zhuqing behind him, he clenched his fists and met Dai Mubai head-on.

"Kid, how arrogant! You dare face my Evil-Eyed White Tiger without even using your Martial Soul? Die!" Seeing Lin Qing charge at him barehanded without even summoning his Martial Soul, Dai Mubai flew into another rage. He swung his tiger claws even more frantically, determined to smash Lin Qing apart with a single strike!

After all, in Dai Mubai's eyes, Lin Qing was at most twelve or thirteen years old. At that age, he could only be a Soul Grandmaster at best and could not possibly withstand his attack.

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai seemed to have already seen himself slapping Lin Qing into a pile of minced meat with one claw.
