Xiao Wu Brutally Throws Dai Mubai

Lan Hong and Dugu Yan sat down in the lobby of the Rose Hotel. Before Xiao Wu arrived, Zhu Zhuqing showed up instead.

Zhu Zhuqing was also somewhat surprised to see Lan Hong and Dugu Yan, but she still came over to greet them.

"I didn't expect to run into you here. Thank you for your help last time."

Lan Hong did not respond to Zhu Zhuqing immediately. He stared at her for a while before speaking.

"Do you remember the question I asked you at the end? Today, you may have a new answer!"

"A new answer?"

Dugu Yan was utterly confused, and Lan Hong had no intention of explaining. Just then, he heard a familiar voice.

"Little San, hurry up. Every other inn is full. If this one is full too, we won't have anywhere to stay."

Xiao Wu was still dressed as before, in pink clothes with a Scorpion Braid, looking exceptionally adorable.

However, the way Xiao Wu and Tang San interacted was clearly different from the original plot.

Tang San was obviously trying to please Xiao Wu, while Xiao Wu ordered Tang San around as though a goddess were treating her simping follower.

Seeing this, a smile curled across Lan Hong's lips. Dugu Yan also noticed the change in his expression.

"This little girl is the friend you mentioned? She came here with this boy to get a room. You don't mind?"

Lan Hong ignored Dugu Yan's teasing and had no intention of going over to greet them just yet.

Because a good show was about to begin. He wanted to see Zhu Zhuqing's reaction and attitude this time.

Xiao Wu strode up to the counter and haughtily demanded two rooms, only for the clerk to tell her there was just one room left.

Xiao Wu furrowed her brows and eyed the clerk suspiciously. Before she could say anything, another voice came from behind her.

Dai Mubai walked in with a pair of beautiful twin sisters in his arms. No one around them was surprised, as though they had long grown accustomed to it.

"That room should be mine! What kind of work is this new guy doing? Call your manager out here!"

"Big brother, we got here first, didn't we?"

"So what if you did?"

"Nothing. Get lost!"

"Fine! I'll give you a chance to make me get lost. You're Spirit Masters too, right? Come at me together. If you beat me, I'll give you the room!"

Dai Mubai did not notice Zhu Zhuqing sitting with Lan Hong and Dugu Yan at all.

Zhu Zhuqing was burning with rage, yet she had nowhere to vent it. Would beating Dai Mubai up accomplish anything?

There was no point in beating up a spoiled young master who had abandoned her and fled the Star Luo Empire to indulge himself here.

Her last shred of hope was gone. She was nothing but a joke. She might as well die at Zhu Zhuyun's hands and be done with it.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing raised her head and looked at Lan Hong, meeting his calm eyes.

"Is it too late for me to change my answer now?"

"Wait, can you two explain what's going on?"

"Let's talk after they finish fighting!"

At that moment, Dai Mubai's side had already begun fighting. However, it was Xiao Wu, not Tang San, who faced Dai Mubai.

Xiao Wu's three Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, purple—showed that she was already a Soul Elder. Her Soul Power was somewhat higher than in the original plot.

It seemed Xiao Wu had taken some of Lan Hong's words to heart and had not been slacking off too much.

Facing Xiao Wu's fierce kick as it came flying at him, Dai Mubai immediately activated his First Spirit Skill.

"First Spirit Skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

A barrier surrounding his body blocked Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu did not stop, instead accelerating and launching a barrage of attacks against the White Tiger Protective Barrier.

"Little girl, you think you can break my White Tiger Protective Barrier without using a Spirit Skill? You're dreaming! Second Spirit Skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai opened his mouth, firing a white beam condensed from Soul Power toward Xiao Wu.

"Third Spirit Skill, Teleportation!"

Xiao Wu teleported behind Dai Mubai and kicked at the center of his back, but she still could not break through the White Tiger Protective Barrier.

"Xiao Wu, let me handle this!"

"Get out of my way! I refuse to believe Sister Xiao Wu can't break this turtle shell today!"

Xiao Wu attacked again, but suddenly, she heard a voice in her ear.

"Your attacks are too scattered. Focus on the area beneath his ribs, and you can break it!"

"You actually got distracted during a fight! Are you looking down on me?"

Dai Mubai charged at Xiao Wu. Snapping back to her senses, Xiao Wu immediately used her Second Spirit Skill.

"Second Spirit Skill, Charm!"

Dai Mubai froze, his eyes turning dreamy. Xiao Wu seized the opportunity to repeatedly attack beneath his ribs. With a crack, the White Tiger Protective Barrier shattered.

Dai Mubai broke free of Charm at that moment, only for Xiao Wu's chain of attacks to follow immediately after.

"First Spirit Skill, Waist Bow! Explosive Eight-Stage Throw!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Xiao Wu slammed Dai Mubai down over and over, countless times. Quite a few of the bones in his body had surely been broken.

The twin sisters who had come with Dai Mubai did not run away. Instead, they helped Dai Mubai away.

"Whose voice was that just now? It felt a little familiar!"

"Xiao Wu, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing! That lecherous tiger was pretty strong. It took some effort to deal with him!"

Xiao Wu then looked at the Rose Hotel's front desk and the trembling manager.

"Hey! I'm asking you, exactly how many rooms are left?"

"There are rooms, there are rooms! Please, you two." The manager respectfully brought out two keys.

"I knew it!"

Xiao Wu grabbed one of the keys and left. Tang San picked up the other key and followed after her.

"Hey, they're done fighting. Can you explain now?"

"Dai Mubai, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire. He fled from his family's struggle, abandoned his fiancée, and came to Suotuo City to join Shrek Academy and live a carefree life!"

"He's a student of Shrek Academy too? Then he must be a genius as well. Is he really just wasting his talent like this?"

"He's simply given up on himself! The Star Luo Royal Family's rule is to settle it at twenty-five. Star Luo's First Prince, Dai Weisi, is much older than Dai Mubai and far stronger as well.

He doesn't think he can defeat Dai Weisi before turning twenty-five, so he's been indulging himself and enjoying a few more years of carefree living."

"How do you know all this?"

"Do you think I read all those books for nothing?"

"Then she's the fiancée Dai Mubai abandoned!"

"That's right! It's me! I thought that after escaping the Star Luo Empire, he would work hard to improve himself. That was why I desperately escaped too, wanting to seize that sliver of hope.

But I never expected it was all nothing but self-deception! He's a coward, a worthless failure with no ambition!"

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing actually began to cry. She had suppressed far too many negative emotions in her heart.

Lan Hong did not know how to comfort people, so he could only signal for Dugu Yan to comfort Zhu Zhuqing.

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at Lan Hong, then gently held Zhu Zhuqing in her arms. She said nothing, quietly waiting for Zhu Zhuqing to finish crying.

"I-I'm sorry! I lost my composure!"

"It's fine. Letting out the resentment in your heart will make you feel much better. Let me ask that question again: do you dare to resist the Star Luo Royal Family, even the entire Star Luo Empire?"
