Lin Chen said expressionlessly, "Do you understand? Zhu Zhuqing said you have nothing to do with her."
" Zhu Zhuqing! Have you forgotten what we went through at Shrek?! You said you'd give me a chance to test you, and that if I passed, we'd get married!" Dai Mubai shouted.
Hearing his words, the aloof cat in Lin Chen's arms trembled slightly, but did not respond. She had given him many chances, but he was still as lustful as ever, incapable of fulfilling his duties. It was fine if he liked to flirt with girls, but the important thing was that all he knew how to do was flirt with women, and that was the biggest problem!
Dailisi's beautiful face changed slightly, and she quickly stood up, saying, " Mubai, shut up! Zhu Zhuqing has already promised the Emperor, what are you doing here?! Quickly apologize to the Emperor!"
Dai Mubai is her own son. If he angers Lin Chen, even the Emperor might not be able to protect him. The death of a prince is of no great importance to the Emperor, who has many children, but it is unacceptable to her, who only has one son.
The Star Luo Emperor is risking Dai Mubai's life to save face for the Dai Family!
"No!" Dai Mubai shouted, completely abandoning his aristocratic air. " Lin Chen, you forced Zhu Zhuqing into all of this, didn't you? Zhu Zhuqing, answer me! Did he force you? Answer me!"
After saying that, he actually tried to grab Zhu Zhuqing from Lin Chen's arms.
"Hmm?" Zhu Zhuqing's heart tightened, and she subconsciously leaned into Lin Chen's arms.
Snap!
Lin Chen gripped his wrist tightly with his large hand and said coldly, "Have I been too lenient with you?"
Bang!
Immediately, with a surge of Soul Power, he sent his opponent flying back several feet. Dai Mubai crashed into a pillar in the main hall before finally coming to a stop.
"Hmph..." Dai Mubai said with a gloomy expression, " Lin Chen, if you have the guts, don't use the power of the Spirit Hall to intimidate me. Let's have a proper match. If you lose, you'll have to give Zhu Zhuqing to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the nobles present turned their attention to Lin Chen. After all, they knew Dai Mubai's strength very well. In recent years, with the support of the Star Luo Empire's resources, his Soul Power had reached level 65. In addition, with his top-level Beast Martial Soul, he could even fight against ordinary Soul Saint.
Three years ago, this Spirit Hall Emperor's Soul Power was at the Soul King. I wonder what level he has reached in the past three years, and whether he dares to accept the Second Prince's challenge.
"Hehe..." Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Since you insist, I will give you a chance to challenge me. However, I am not used to using my own woman as a bargaining chip, although I am confident that I can defeat you."
"How about this? If I lose, I'll grant your Star Luo Empire a promise, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Star Luo Emperor immediately said, "Alright, it's settled then!" His reaction was extremely quick, as if he was afraid that Lin Chen would change his mind.
Zhu Zhuqing, nestled in his arms, felt a tremor in her heart. From childhood to adulthood, almost no one had ever doted on her like this, except for her mother. If she had only felt a slight liking for Lin Chen before, she had now fallen in love with him.
She was the kind of woman who would remain faithful to one man forever. If Dai Mubai had been a little more reliable, he might have won her heart long ago. It's just a pity that her cold heart was ultimately taken by Lin Chen!
Lin Chen said Youyou, "I lost, and I'll give you a promise, but... if I had won, what would have become of the Star Luo Empire?"
The Star Luo Emperor's body trembled, a look of hesitation on his face. "This..."
Dai Mubai sneered, "If I lose, you can do whatever you want with my life, how about it?!"
Lin Chen retorted without any politeness, "What would I do with your life? If I win, the Emperor will have Empress Dailisi dance for me alone, how about that?"
"You!!" The Star Luo Emperor was so angry that his face turned green. He almost lost control of his Peak Soul Douluo Soul Power, and even Dailisi's heart tightened slightly.
"Since you're unwilling, then if I win, I'll take his life!" Lin Chen said expressionlessly.
"Wait!" Dailisi's deep, magnetic voice called out, "I promise you!"
Star Luo Emperor turned around instantly, glaring fiercely at her. Who knows what might happen if she danced alone? Most importantly, it was in front of so many nobles. If Dai Mubai lost, where would he put his face? Where would the Dai Family's face be?!
In this emperor's heart, his own reputation and that of the Dai Family were far more important than the life of a prince!
Hearing that Lin Chen had even flirted with his mother, Dai Mubai became even more enraged and coldly said, "We can't fight inside the main hall, let's go outside."
Okay~
Before long, Zhu Zhuqing and her two daughters, along with a group of nobles and powerful officials, arrived outside the hall, their eyes fixed on the two young men facing off in front of them.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two of them, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but worry about Lin Chen, fearing that he would be injured by Dai Mubai.
"Hehe..." Liu Erlong chuckled softly, whispering in her ear, "Sister Zhu Zhuqing, don't worry, your husband's strength is above mine~"
Hearing her address, Zhu Zhuqing's usually cool and aloof face flushed slightly, feeling extremely embarrassed and flustered: Aunt Liu really is something, how could she call her "sister"?
In the square
Dai Mubai stared intently at Lin Chen, his anger almost palpable. He then summoned his White Tiger Martial Soul, and six Soul Ring slowly materialized around his body.
Roar roar roar...
" Lin Chen, prepare to die!"
"Tch..." Lin Chen chuckled, mobilizing his Soul Power. Seven Soul Ring slowly evolved around his body: yellow, yellow, purple, red, red, red, red.
The moment the Soul Ring appeared, everyone present froze, and an eerie silence fell. What had they just witnessed?
Four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?! A level 70 Soul Saint?!
Zhu Zhuqing's mouth was slightly open, her stunned expression was extremely cute, and her bright eyes were filled with adoring little stars.
Brother Lin Chen... what a prodigy!
On the other side, Zhu Zhuyun, who shared the same parents as Zhu Zhuqing, was also completely stunned. After a moment of realization, she was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. A thought suddenly surged in her trembling heart: she must have him! Even if it meant becoming his concubine!
This talent is destined for godhood, and there might even be a chance to go to the legendary Divine Realm in the future. As the saying goes, it's better to be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken.
At this moment, Zhu Zhengxiong's mouth was almost split open. With Lin Chen's connection to him, even the Great Emperor would have to be mindful of his feelings!
The other dozen or so noble lords were secretly considering whether they had any beautiful unmarried women in their families that they could send directly to Lin Chen, even if they were just ordinary maids.
Upon seeing Lin Chen's Soul Ring, Dai Mubai froze on the spot, his face filled with fear as he exclaimed, "This... how is this possible?!"
Lin Chen slowly approached him, but the latter didn't even have the courage to make a move, and kept retreating.
"Heh..." Lin Chen sneered, "What? Not calling anymore?"
"Didn't you want a challenge?"
Come on!
"Let's do it!"
The noble lords all showed disappointment upon seeing Dai Mubai's appearance, while Dailisi was not concerned about the outcome of the competition, only about how to persuade Lin Chen to spare her son's life.
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Chen, her bright eyes filled with stars. As for Dai Mubai beside her, she didn't even glance at him.
