At that moment, Dai Huabin came striding over aggressively, surrounded by his followers.
He had run into no shortage of frustrations lately. First he had been brutally beaten, then forced to kneel, and on top of that, Zhu Lu, his personal punching bag, had disappeared! All that pent-up fury had nowhere to go!
Now that he had spotted her again, he was naturally going to vent his anger on her!
Zhu Lu stood where she was, her face a little pale. Although she had resolved to cut ties with him, everything she had endured since childhood still made her tremble involuntarily in Dai Huabin's presence.
"Where I go is none of your business! Dai Huabin, who do you think you are?" Zhu Lu mustered her courage and tried her best to stand up to him.
"What good is saying sorry...? Wait! What did you just say?" Dai Huabin asked in shock. He would sooner believe his ears had failed him than believe what he had just heard.

"Zhu Lu, say that again!" He advanced a step, abruptly unleashing his Soul Power with the oppressive force of a Soul Ancestor. "Don't think hiding for a few days means you've grown a spine. Have you forgotten who used to follow me around every day?"
His imposing presence forced Zhu Lu half a step back. Just then, a hand reached out from behind her.
"Oh! Lulu! Who's this?" Before his words had faded, Tian Chen's warm lips had already brushed against Zhu Lu's neck.
Startled, Zhu Lu
