Ma Hongjun and Oscar turned away, unable to bear watching, and even covered their ears with both hands.
Even so, Dai Mubai's heart-rending screams of pain still made them tremble all over.
No man could accept something like this.
Even as his friends, they could offer no help. They were powerless.
All they could do was avoid looking at Dai Mubai's miserable state, hoping that would ease his suffering.
At the same time, an icy chill crept through their own crotches. They were deeply relieved that they had never shown the slightest wicked intent toward Zhu Zhuqing, or their fate would have been even worse than Dai Mubai's.
They could not imagine how much worse, but it would certainly have been far more miserable.
"Mubai."
Dai Weisi did not stop after his hand rose and the cock fell. He looked at Dai Mubai's pain-stricken face, flashed a wicked smile, then took it upon himself to activate Martial Soul Possession. With a powerful Soul Skill, he blasted the severed appendage from between Dai Mubai's legs into dust.
"No!" Dai Mubai's pupils contracted, and his entire body shook even harder as his physical and mental agony reached its peak.
He stared at Dai Weisi, his face twisted with rage.
If that part of him had remained, he might someday have had a chance to ask a healing Soul Master to restore him. Though the odds were slim, there would at least have been hope.
But Dai Weisi had extinguished that last flicker of hope deep in his heart!
For a moment, his hatred for Dai Weisi surged even higher than his hatred for Bai Ye.
We sprang from the same root-why be so eager to cut each other down? As that thought surfaced, the humiliated Dai Mubai passed out from the pain.
"Drag him away." The Star Luo Emperor spoke, then made arrangements for Dai Mubai's future.
Dai Mubai would have a fief of his own, where he could live out the rest of his days in peace.
At Bai Ye's request, he even promised Dai Mubai three thousand beauties.
Dai Mubai would be able to look, touch, and taste, but never enjoy release.
The Star Luo Emperor's first instinct was to refuse. This was too cruel to Dai Mubai, and his punishment had already been severe enough.
He had never expected Dai Weisi to speak up and persuade him.
The Star Luo Emperor had no choice. With even the crown prince urging him on, he could hardly insist on having his own way. He could only follow this road all the way into darkness.
After all, Dai Weisi would inherit the throne. He could hardly expect a castrated man to succeed him as emperor.
Besides, Dai Mubai was already ruined. What good would antagonizing Bai Ye now accomplish?
The affair with Dai Mubai aged the Star Luo Emperor by several decades. He left the welcoming banquet early, leaving Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun to entertain Bai Ye in his stead.
Naturally, Bai Ye did not mind the Star Luo Emperor's departure. Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Ning Rongrong were all beside him, and even Zhu Zhuyun, the crown princess, came over to attend to him and offer him wine.
Of course, this was Dai Weisi's idea.
But Zhu Zhuyun herself was even less inclined to refuse.
Her thinking was simple. If Zhu Zhuqing, the fiancée of that useless second prince, could hook the Spirit Hall Holy Son, why couldn't she win his favor? She was Zhu Zhuqing's older sister, no less beautiful, with an even better figure, and she knew how to pamper a man.
As for Dai Weisi and the Star Luo Emperor?
If Zhu Zhuqing could break off her engagement, what was wrong with one more Zhu Zhuyun doing the same?
Besides, she did not believe any man could resist a pair of beautiful sisters.
Most importantly, she admired strength. The Spirit Hall Holy Son had come to the Star Luo Emperor's own doorstep and cowed him so thoroughly that he did not dare let out so much as a fart. Who knew what sort of life awaited her if she stayed with Dai Weisi?
She might as well follow the Spirit Hall Holy Son and live freely, comfortably, and happily.
So, after learning what Dai Weisi had in mind, she was delighted and deliberately changed into an extremely revealing outfit.
Dai Weisi was a clever man. He understood her intentions from her clothes, but still did not stop her.
To him, using Zhu Zhuyun to strengthen his ties with Spirit Hall was an eminently sound political choice.
She was only a woman. Once he became the man who ruled the empire, what kind of empress could he not find? It did not have to be Zhu Zhuyun.
Besides, Zhu Zhuyun's heart had already strayed, and he had no desire to live with someone like that.
"Holy Son, let me offer you a toast." Zhu Zhuyun sat down beside Bai Ye and poured wine for herself and him, acting as though she had not noticed Zhu Zhuqing's murderous glare.
She also took the opportunity to expose a generous expanse of snowy white skin to Bai Ye.
Exquisite. Bai Ye's mouth went a little dry. Zhu Zhuyun truly lived up to being Zhu Zhuqing's older sister-she was bigger than her younger sister.
Slut. Zhu Zhuqing cursed inwardly, her gaze moving between Bai Ye and Zhu Zhuyun. When she saw Bai Ye smile and accept the attention without a qualm, her chest tightened.
She instinctively looked down. Once she made the comparison, the tightness in her chest grew even worse.
But it took her only a moment to accept reality.
If she could accept Dai Mubai seeking out a pair of sisters, why couldn't she accept Bai Ye having several women?
Was the Spirit Hall Holy Son's status inferior to that of a Star Luo Empire prince?
Not at all!
Having persuaded herself, Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt at ease. Even watching Zhu Zhuyun offer him wine no longer stirred any unpleasant feelings.
Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, was terribly envious. She was still a maid, fit only to kneel at Bai Ye's feet.
Dugu Yan knew her place very well. She felt no dissatisfaction, though she could not help being a little jealous.
Although Bai Ye's Second Soul Skill, Purification, had improved both her looks and her figure, she still fell short of the Zhu Zhuyun before her.
Sure enough, men are all the same. They like them bigger. Dugu Yan grumbled inwardly, but outwardly refused to be outdone as she drank with him. Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing also became exceptionally enthusiastic.
Only Ning Rongrong remained small, helpless, miserable, and uneasy.
Naturally, Bai Ye would not reject the three women's goodwill, nor would he favor one over another.
He cheerfully accepted every cup of wine.
Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were also enjoying the banquet so much that they forgot all about home and had no desire to return to Shrek Academy.
After all, the women here were beautiful and skilled. They simply could not resist.
Yet in the midst of their pleasure, their thoughts kept straying involuntarily to Dai Mubai and his severed appendage, leaving them sighing.
"Ah, Boss Dai really has suffered." Oscar rolled over and sighed.
"Nothing we could do about it. He brought it..." Ma Hongjun did not finish.
Indeed, both of them now had the intention of righteously cutting ties with Dai Mubai.
They had not only had their eyes opened, but had also gotten to play daddy.
Before long, the banquet ended and everyone dispersed. Faced with Zhu Zhuyun's temptation, Bai Ye chose to respond.
Before leaving, he gave Zhu Zhuyun three light pats.
That night, Zhu Zhuyun knocked on his door.
"Who is it?" Bai Ye asked, though he already knew.
"It's me, Zhu Zhuyun," she said softly.
Bai Ye threw the door wide open and asked, "Crown Princess, why have you come to my room in the middle of the night? Does the crown prince know?"
Zhu Zhuyun froze briefly. Only when she saw his teasing smile did she catch on.
"You're awful," she chided coyly. "Weren't you the one who told me to come?"
As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around Bai Ye and pressed her whole body into his embrace.
Smack!
"Hahaha!"
Bai Ye laughed loudly and carried Zhu Zhuyun inside.
That night, he experienced the pleasure Dai Mubai had yearned for in his dreams.
He dared say Dai Mubai could not even imagine such pleasure.
