Dai Mubai: Why Is My Head So Green? (Please Vote and Interact!)

Pfft!

Having just awakened, Yu Tianheng suffered such humiliation that he violently spat out a mouthful of blood before passing out again.

"Captain!"

The Imperial Fighting Team members below the stage immediately rushed up and surrounded their captain.

Xu Peinian turned to leave. He had already spotted Zhu Zhuqing standing below the stage.

That fool had probably been worried about him and run straight down from the VIP room above.

In the stands, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others had been watching the thrilling match.

Since Xu Peinian had never revealed his martial soul before Tang San and Gangzi, and was currently wearing a mask, Gangzi and the others, who had brought their disciples and students to broaden their horizons, had failed to recognize him.

No one had recognized Xu Peinian before, but someone could recognize Zhu Zhuqing when she ran down below the stage.

Watching that familiar figure fuss over Xu Peinian with concern, Dai Mubai could no longer sit still. He only felt as though the top of his head had become a vast grassland, with a herd of grazing llamas galloping across it.

Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like a bull.

"Boss Dai, what's wrong?"

Tang San asked worriedly from beside him.

"Xiao San, are we brothers?"

The other monsters looked over. Tang San looked confused, but he still nodded firmly.

"Of course. We're beloved friends and brothers in arms."

"Boss Dai, whatever it is, we've got your back!"

Ma Hongjun and the others chimed in as well.

"Good. Then come down with me and demand an explanation."

"What exactly happened, Boss Dai?"

The mischievous Ning Rongrong tilted her head in confusion.

"Someone stole your sister-in-law!"

Without looking back, Dai Mubai turned and hurried downstairs.

Seeing the situation, the other monsters hurried after him. Only Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang remained relatively calm. Rather than following them straight down, he first went next door to find Frank as a backup.

Below the spirit fighting stage.

Xu Peinian walked over to Zhu Zhuqing, raised a hand to tuck the loose strands beside her ear behind it, and chuckled.

"What, were you worried I couldn't beat him?"

Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly. Lowering her head, she murmured, "No. I was just afraid you'd get hurt."

Xu Peinian was about to reassure her that he was perfectly fine when an angry shout interrupted him.

"Stop right there! How could you strike our captain so heavily? This was only a match!"

Osler's voice came from behind him. Xu Peinian turned around and saw that all six Imperial Fighting Team members apart from their captain Yu Tianheng had surrounded him, including a newcomer who had replaced Dugu Yan.

The stage was empty. Yu Tianheng had likely been carried away by medical staff to have his severed arm reattached and treated.

Xu Peinian clicked his tongue and replied somewhat impatiently.

"When you and your captain were humiliating someone else, did you ever think you'd end up like this?"

"You!"

Osler angrily pointed at Xu Peinian, too furious to form a complete sentence.

But when he saw Zhu Zhuqing behind Xu Peinian, realization dawned on him.

"So you're the woman who couldn't accept losing. You couldn't beat our captain, so you found your wild man to stand up for you?"

Xu Peinian stopped the chill radiating from Zhu Zhuqing and gave her a reassuring look before turning back and retorting.

"A man who can't even beat Zhuqing and only knows how to hide behind other men—what kind of trash are you?"

"Fuck, you..."

Osler snapped on the spot. In a fit of rage, he immediately wanted to attack Xu Peinian, but Yu Feng, another agility-attack soul master on the team, grabbed hold of him.

"Yu Feng, let go of me! I'm going to beat the shit out of him!"

"Oh."

Yu Feng obediently let go.

"Brother, I told you to let go, and you actually let go?"

That left Osler awkwardly frozen in place, unable to advance or retreat.

He had only made that threat in a burst of anger. The man before him was a monster capable of utterly crushing their captain. Osler could not even last three minutes against his own captain, so how could he dare charge in and fight such a ruthless opponent?

Fortunately, Ye Lingling, the team's support and vice-captain, spoke up to bail him out.

"That's enough, Osler. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Let's go."

Only then did Osler prepare to leave dejectedly with his teammates.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Xu Peinian calmly spoke as he held Zhu Zhuqing's little hand.

The Imperial Fighting Team members stopped and glared at him angrily.

"What else do you want?"

With Captain Yu Tianheng absent, Ye Lingling stepped forward as the acting vice-captain.

"Heh. What do I want? One of your people insulted my friend, and you think you can just walk away?"

After a pause, Xu Peinian pointed at Osler, his tone turning icy.

"He must at least lose the arm he used to point around. Otherwise, none of you are leaving today."

"Stop! Let go of that girl's hand!"

As the two sides faced off in a tense standoff, another furious rebuke came from not far away.

Xu Peinian and the Imperial Fighting Team members looked toward the source of the voice at the same time.

A blond man dressed in luxurious clothes was striding toward them with fury written across his face.

His eyes bore double pupils, wicked light flickering between his half-lidded gaze. Yet his anger had greatly diminished the nobility about him.

The newcomer was none other than Dai Mubai, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, whose rage had erupted after feeling he had been cuckolded.

Another powerhouse?!

Although Xu Peinian had never met Dai Mubai before, those distinctive features made him recognize the man immediately.

If Dai Mubai was here, then the rest of them...

Speak of the devil, and there he was. Tang San and the others soon poured out of the passageway as well.

"Boss Dai, we're here."

With both sides glaring at them, Xu Peinian's side suddenly seemed somewhat outnumbered.

Damn it, the whole place had really turned into a complete mess.

"Who are you? What right do you have to tell me to let go of Zhuqing's hand?"

As he spoke, Xu Peinian deliberately pulled Zhu Zhuqing closer and squeezed her soft, cool little hand.

Dai Mubai was so furious that his lungs felt ready to explode, and his handsome face had turned the color of liver.

She was the fiancée arranged for him by the Star Luo Empire, the future imperial prince's consort!

Yet she was openly holding hands and being intimate with another man. How was he supposed to endure that?

"Zhu Zhuqing, as my woman, how can you behave so shamelessly?"

Dai Mubai's reprimand made Zhu Zhuqing frown slightly. If it had been the old her, she might have followed the arrangement of fate and reluctantly become the fiancée of this cowardly scumbag.

But she had changed her mind six years ago. She wanted to live for herself and was unwilling to let others dictate her life any longer.

"Who agreed to become your fiancée?"

Her icy words spared Dai Mubai not the slightest dignity.

"Boss Dai, what exactly is going on here?"

Tang San and the others were having trouble processing things. The girl herself did not acknowledge it, yet their boss kept insisting that she was his fiancée.

"Xiao San, everyone, I can guarantee with absolute certainty that she is the fiancée my family arranged for me—your sister-in-law, Zhu Zhuqing."

Dai Mubai suppressed his emotions and growled.

"Tsk, I asked you a question. Who the hell do you think you are? My Zhuqing has already denied it, yet you keep calling her sister-in-law and your fiancée."

Xu Peinian stepped forward and shielded Zhu Zhuqing behind him.
