Our Engagement Should End

Zhu Zhuqing turned her head and looked at Dai Mubai.

What do you want to talk to me about?

Her tone remained calm.

"Are you implying that I'm unfaithful and get too close to other men?"

"If that's all there is to it, then there's no need to say anything."

Dai Mubai shook his head upon hearing this.

"No."

"Zhu Zhuqing, I think our engagement should end."

Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback.

She clearly hadn't expected that Dai Mubai would seek her out tonight to stop the engagement!

Dai Mubai continued:

I know I'm not good enough for you.

"Perhaps, only someone like Ye Lin is truly worthy of you."

"I want to say sorry to you for making you suffer in the Star Luo Empire for so many years."

At this point, Dai Mubai took a deep breath.

"Perhaps, separating is the best choice for the two of us."

"As for those royal disputes,"

Dai Mubai raised his head.

"Just let it go!"

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a moment.

She looked at Dai Mubai and slowly said:

"Royal disputes are not something you can simply dismiss by saying you're out."

"You should know very well what the royal rules of the Star Luo Empire are."

"Either you fight for the throne, or you'll be imprisoned forever, never to be free again."

Do you think we can escape?

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai suddenly laughed.

"Escape?"

Why should I run away?

He turned his head and his gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Zhuqing, do you think running away is the only option for me?"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly.

Dai Mubai continued:

"I can sit on that throne all by myself!"

At this moment, Dai Mubai's unparalleled confidence came not only from his belief, but also from his strength.

Just now, after parting ways with Ye Lin,

Dai Mubai then communicated with the Evil-Eyed Holy King again within his Sea of Consciousness.

He learned some shocking information from the Evil-Eyed Holy King.

The Hell White Tiger is formed by the union of a White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat.

In reality, it is merely a lower-level manifestation of the Evil-Eyed Holy King's power.

In other words, the Hell White Tiger is not the final form of the White Tiger Martial Soul.

The Evil-Eyed Holy King is the one!

He has now awakened the pure bloodline of the Evil-Eyed Holy King.

According to the Evil-Eyed Holy King, the White Tiger Martial Soul is naturally suppressed by him. Not to mention the White Tiger Martial Soul, even the Hell White Tiger will be suppressed by him in terms of bloodline.

Moreover, as time goes by, he will inherit more and more of the Evil-Eyed Holy King's power, and his cultivation speed will be much faster than it is now.

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing and continued.

"The rules of the Star Luo Royal Family, starting with me, should also change."

The words had barely left his mouth.

A powerful aura emanated from Dai Mubai's body.

Behind him, a huge phantom slowly emerged.

It was none other than the Evil-Eyed Holy King.

As the phantom appeared, the surrounding air seemed to become heavy.

When Zhu Zhuqing saw the illusory figure behind Dai Mubai, she was completely stunned.

She could sense that the power far surpassed that of the White Tiger Martial Soul of the past, even causing the Nether Civet Martial Soul within her to feel an instinctive fear.

No wonder she couldn't feel the resonance between her Martial Soul and Dai Mubai's; now she knew.

Dai Mubai looked at her and slowly said:

"This is my current Martial Soul."

"The Evil-Eyed Holy King."

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent.

She looked at the illusory figure behind Dai Mubai, then at the man in front of her, and suddenly felt a mix of emotions.

If only she had seen Dai Mubai like this when she first arrived at the Shrek Academy.

At that time, she was actually looking forward to someone.

I hope that the person I was once engaged to, who should stand by me through thick and thin, will truly step forward.

She hoped that Dai Mubai could become stronger, able to shoulder his responsibilities, and stop running away.

But when she arrived at the Shrek Academy, she found Dai Mubai to be a womanizer who spent his days indulging in debauchery and spending his time with women.

At that moment, her expectations gradually faded.

She did give Dai Mubai chances.

But repeated disappointments gradually eroded her hope.

Now, Dai Mubai has finally changed.

He stopped running away and finally realized his past problems.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly smiled.

"If I saw you like this when I arrived at the Shrek Academy, I would be so happy."

"This has been my spiritual belief throughout my years in the Star Luo Empire."

"This is the person I've always been waiting for."

She looked at Dai Mubai, her voice gradually lowering.

But now, it's too late.

Upon hearing these words, Dai Mubai's heart trembled slightly.

He did not refute it.

Because he knew that Zhu Zhuqing was right.

Some things, once missed, can never be regained.

He didn't cherish her before, and he has no right to ask Zhu Zhuqing to accept him again now.

People only truly learn to cherish things after they've lost them.

Dai Mubai slowly stood up, the phantom of the Evil-Eyed Holy King behind him still standing under the moonlight.

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said solemnly:

Everything in the past was my fault.

"From this day forward, all the conflicts within the Star Luo Royal Family will be none of your concern."

I will take full responsibility for everything!

After speaking, Dai Mubai lowered his head slightly towards Zhu Zhuqing.

This is not the kind of courtesy a prince would show to others.

Rather, it is an apology from someone who has made mistakes to someone they have wronged.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him without saying a word for Jiujiu.

The moonlight on the lake remained calm.

The marriage agreement between the two, which had lasted for many years, finally came to an end.

Back in Ye Lin's dormitory, he continued his cultivation after returning.

But he felt like he hadn't been practicing for very long.

There was another knock on the door.

Ye Lin slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.

Why is someone knocking on the door so late?

Who is it?

A soft female voice came from outside the door.

"Brother Lin, it's me, Zhu Zhuqing."

Ye Lin was somewhat surprised to hear Zhu Zhuqing's voice.

Why would Zhu Zhuqing suddenly come over so late?

A man and a woman alone in a room late at night can easily lead to speculation.

He got up, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Zhu Zhuqing, is something the matter so late?"

Zhu Zhuqing stood outside the door, wearing her signature leather jacket, her long, black hair falling to her waist.

She nodded and said softly, "Brother Lin, may I come in and talk to you?"

"Of course, come in."

Ye Lin stepped aside to let Zhu Zhuqing into the room, then closed the door.

The two sat down next to the bed.

Ye Lin glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and noticed that she seemed to have something on her mind.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you seem to have something on your mind."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

She lowered her head, placed her hands on her knees, and remained silent for a moment, seemingly organizing her thoughts.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at Ye Lin.

"Brother Lin, what should you do if someone keeps having something on their mind and constantly thinking about it?"
