I Am the Evil-Eyed Holy King!
Ye Lin continued:
"However, it's probably easier to deal with someone being indifferent to you."
"You should think carefully about whether you've done anything to offend her and make her unhappy with you."
Dai Mubai shook his head almost without hesitation.
"No!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin couldn't help but shake his head.
"Boss Dai, that's not how it works."
"You two have known each other for a long time, haven't you?"
Dai Mubai nodded.
"I've known him since we were little."
Ye Lin looked at him and continued:
"Since you've known each other for such a long time, can you guarantee you've never done anything to upset her?"
"You immediately said no, which shows you're overconfident."
Or rather, it's arrogance.
"You think everything is as it should be, and everything is taken for granted."
"Because you are a prince, you think others should understand you and obey you."
"But in reality, no one owes you anything, and nothing is a given."
"We are all Soul Master, and we are all independent."
At this point, Dai Mubai fell silent.
Ye Lin continued:
"Was the Immortal Herb I gave you something I owed you?"
Dai Mubai quickly shook his head.
Of course not!
"The Immortal Herb you gave me is an immense favor to me."
"I will always remember this kindness."
Ye Lin smiled slightly.
"So, the same goes for everyone else."
No one owes you anything.
"So Boss Dai, you really need to think this through."
Dai Mubai didn't speak, but lowered his head and began to seriously recall the past.
Since the problem started when I saw Zhu Zhuqing again, it must have been when I left.
He thought back to when he left the Star Luo Empire.
He sensed danger at that moment.
In order to survive, he chose to leave the Star Luo Empire and flee to the Heaven Dou Empire.
In a sense, his choice was not wrong.
After all, given that situation, he would likely die if he didn't leave.
He chose to escape.
But what does this have to do with Zhu Zhuqing?
Dai Mubai froze when he thought of this.
What is his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing?
Zhu Zhuqing is his fiancée, and she is also a participant in the power struggle within the Star Luo Imperial Family family; she is also in danger.
Sensing danger, he fled without hesitation.
But he left Zhu Zhuqing there alone.
Having escaped on her own, Zhu Zhuqing still has to face those dangers alone.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai felt as if something had clenched his heart.
He finally understood.
Why is Zhu Zhuqing always Bingbing to me?
Why doesn't she give me a friendly look?
Why is it that even though she knows they are engaged, she is still unwilling to take the initiative to get closer to him?
Because she harbored resentment.
Why should I expect her to understand me?
Did you think of her when you fled the Star Luo Empire?
Did she ever consider the dangers she, a young woman, would face if she stayed there alone?
Dai Mubai then thought about his life after arriving at the Shrek Academy.
He felt he had finally escaped.
Freed from the constraints of royalty and the constant pressure of potential death, they naturally wanted to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
So he began to indulge in debauchery, keeping mistresses and spending his days among women.
He felt he was still young and there was nothing wrong with enjoying life.
And if I don't enjoy this now, I'll be dead when my older brother turns twenty-five!
He has given up on himself.
He thought of Zhu Zhuqing again; Zhu Zhuqing hadn't given up!
She struggled in the Star Luo Empire, feeling that she was diligently cultivating outside.
But what I saw was a self-indulgent, dissolute existence.
The two were supposed to be a devoted, engaged couple.
But he chose to run away when she needed him most.
Now that he's standing before her, what gives him the right to expect her to willingly follow him?
In the past few years, Zhu Zhuqing did what she was supposed to do, navigating the Star Luo Empire world alone to buy herself time to cultivate and strive. But what did she actually do?
They squandered and enjoyed the time that Zhu Zhuqing had bought them.
He was not a good enough fiancé at all.
Thinking about this, Dai Mubai suddenly found it somewhat laughable.
He used to think that Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand him, didn't understand the immense pressure he was under, and that she was too cold towards him.
But now it seems that the one who really had the problem was probably himself all along.
Zhu Zhuqing was under far more pressure than I was. When she arrived full of expectations and saw what she was like, who could understand the disappointment she felt?
Even if Zhu Zhuqing were truly willing to be with him, was he really worthy of her?
Dai Mubai suddenly smiled.
He finally realized that he was not worthy at all.
The things I did before made me an absolute beast!
"Boss Dai, it seems you've figured something out."
Dai Mubai covered his face with his hands, laughing as he spoke.
"You beast!"
"I'm such a beast!"
How could I have been such a beast before!
He finally understood his past problems.
It wasn't that Zhu Zhuqing was too cold, nor that Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling to accept him.
Rather, he never truly considered things from Zhu Zhuqing's perspective.
Didn't expect me to be this kind of person?
Just then, Dai Mubai suddenly raised his head.
His gaze became more resolute than ever before.
Having broken free from the shackles of the past, I now know who I truly am!
Dai Mubai's body jolted violently.
A sudden burst of power erupted from within his body.
Roar!
A deep tiger's roar suddenly rang out.
Dai Mubai's Martial Soul, the White Tiger, subconsciously appeared from behind him.
Ye Lin subconsciously turned his head to look.
A change was observed occurring within the White Tiger Martial Soul behind Dai Mubai.
The body is even larger.
Two golden stripes appeared on its head, and a golden vertical pupil appeared between its eyebrows.
The aura of the entire Martial Soul underwent a dramatic transformation at that moment.
Ye Lin was stunned by what he saw.
He exclaimed inwardly,
"This is the Evil-Eyed Holy King!"
He never expected that Dai Mubai's Martial Soul would evolve into the Evil-Eyed Holy King!
Dai Mubai's Soul Power began to rise steadily.
Three Spirit Ring, one yellow and one purple, rose from beneath him.
Then, the fourth Spirit Ring appeared; it was a black and white Spirit Ring.
The black and white colors intertwine, as if representing the cycle of yin and yang.
Ye Lin was stunned once again upon seeing this scene.
"Bloodline Spirit Ring?"
Just as Ye Lin was wondering, an old voice suddenly rang out in Dai Mubai's Sea of Consciousness.
"I never expected to meet such a junior."
"How fortunate I am!"
Dai Mubai was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously asked,
"Who are you!"
A figure slowly emerged in his Sea of Consciousness.
The figure was extremely similar to the White Tiger Martial Soul that had just undergone a transformation, exuding a powerful aura.
But the golden vertical pupil between his eyebrows had already opened.
"I am the Evil-Eyed Holy King!"
