"You will die. Without me, you will definitely die," Dai Mubai roared, his expression contorted with rage.
His emotions were more frantic than ever before. From childhood until now, he had never suffered such a blow.
He, a prince of the Star Luo Empire, had actually been abandoned by his fiancée. If the day of the decisive battle with his elder brother truly arrived, he would be alone, and he didn't know how many people would laugh at him.
People would surely say: Dai Mubai is a waste, not only inferior to his elder brother, but also unable to handle a woman, and even got dumped by her…
Dai Mubai watched the departing figures, his gaze fixated on Ao Tian in the center, and his expression gradually turned sinister.
"Ao—Tian!" Dai Mubai shouted through gritted teeth.
"Yes, it must be because of him that Zhuqing would abandon me so heartlessly."
Various scenes flashed through Dai Mubai's mind. Zhu Zhuqing had been with Ao Tian when she first arrived in Soto City, and whether it was for meals or going to Soto City, Ao Tian and Zhu Zhuqing were always together.
"No wonder he broke all my bones the first time we fought. It's probably not just for Gu Yue Na, but also to please Zhu Zhuqing, isn't it?" Thinking this, Dai Mubai felt both anger and hatred, sneering inwardly.
He didn't believe that Ao Tian wouldn't be moved by Zhu Zhuqing's hot figure and her decent looks. Any normal man would be.
Maybe Zhu Zhuqing's hidden identity was also instigated by Ao Tian.
"If Zhu Zhuqing hadn't hidden her identity, I definitely wouldn't have made so many mistakes in front of her. It's all Ao Tian's fault, Ao Tian!"
Losing his reason, Dai Mubai, in his rage, placed all the blame on Ao Tian.
He believed that Ao Tian was targeting him everywhere, surely because of Zhu Zhuqing.
And Zhu Zhuqing was only a twelve-year-old girl, how could she be so bold, not even afraid of death? She must have been incited.
The more Dai Mubai thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and the hatred in his heart towards Ao Tian grew at a terrifying speed.
If it weren't for his fear of Ao Tian's strength and soul tools, Dai Mubai would have fought Ao Tian right then and there.
"Ao Tian! We'll see about this!"
Dai Mubai turned and left, departing the village and heading towards Soto City.
Ever since he was injured by Ao Tian at the start of the semester, he hadn't gone back to Soto City. Today, having suffered such a great humiliation, he needed to vent.
Things had reached this point, and he no longer cared about his image. He just wanted to find the Twin Sisters and two other girls to let off steam.
Ao Tian and the others returned to the front of the girls' dormitory. Ning Rongrong waved her fist, excitedly saying, "Sister Zhuqing, I felt so relieved watching you kick Dai Mubai just now. It was so satisfying."
Zhu Zhuqing was the youngest among them, so Ning Rongrong unceremoniously called her "sister."
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and smiled, "I feel more relaxed than ever before."
Ning Rongrong sighed, "Sister Zhuqing, you have such a great figure and you're also so beautiful. Even I'm a little jealous."
"Don't say that, Rongrong, I've been jealous of her for a long time," Xiao Wu chimed in playfully.
"But what did Dai Mubai mean earlier? Why would you die if you weren't with him?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "You might not know, but the selection process for the Crown Prince in the Star Luo Empire is incredibly cruel. They choose the two most outstanding princes, and once they reach adulthood, they have a final battle. Because our Zhu family and the Dai family can use a martial soul fusion skill, their fiancées also have to participate. If Dai Mubai loses, it's very likely that both he and I will die."
"Ah—then what will you do?" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.
She hadn't expected the Star Luo royal family to have such a brutal rule for selecting their successor.
Zhu Zhuqing gave a carefree smile, "I've come to terms with it. Even if I die, so what? I won't have anything to do with that disgusting guy anymore. With my current cultivation speed, as long as I quickly reach Title Douluo, who can do anything to me? At worst, I'll find a place to hide and cultivate for a few years."
"I support you," Ning Rongrong said. "If worse comes to worst, you can come with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I don't believe the people from the Star Luo Empire would dare to come there to catch you. It's easy for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to protect someone."
"Thank you," Zhu Zhuqing replied.
She used to think Ning Rongrong had a bit of a spoiled young lady's temper and couldn't handle hardship, but lately, Ning Rongrong had changed a lot compared to when they first met.
Ao Tian returned to his room, glanced at the head of his bed, and shook his head with a smile.
He hadn't expected Tang San to come.
Ao Tian also remembered Tang San's actions in his previous life in the Tang Sect, which was why he fabricated a story about soul tool books, wanting to see if Tang San would still do that kind of stealing.
In Ao Tian's opinion, Tang San's act of stealing knowledge in the Tang Sect was a kind of fanatical, pathological mentality. Because he loved it, he stole it, disregarding the Tang Sect's rules.
Even if he jumped off a cliff in the end, it wouldn't erase the fact that he was a thief.
People like that could sometimes be very scary, because their desires might drive them to extreme methods to get what they wanted.
Ao Tian hadn't expected Tang San to resist the temptation this time and not take the three soul tool books.
Could it be that Tang San's personality had changed?
He glanced at the next room. Tang San and Oscar were both inside, cultivating their soul power.
One room over, Ma Hongjun was lying on his bed, occasionally groaning in pain. At his current state, it would take several days for him to recover.
Ma Hongjun looked outside. The sun was already high in the sky. Dai Mubai had said he'd go get him breakfast, but he'd been gone for so long.
"That guy, he must have ditched me and gone to Soto City to play. He promised me the Twin Sisters, humph."
Ao Tian withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes again, comprehending the laws of heaven and earth.
Time passed quickly. Dai Mubai returned to Shrek Academy at night, smelling strongly of perfume, which made Ma Hongjun incredibly jealous.
The next morning, to Ao Tian and the others' surprise, Dai Mubai was waiting outside the girls' dormitory early.
As Gu Yue Na and the other three girls walked out, their eyebrows nearly shot up when they saw Dai Mubai standing outside.
"Dai Mubai, what are you doing here?" Ning Rongrong chided in a delicate voice.
Zhu Zhuqing ignored Dai Mubai, treating him as if he weren't there, and walked past him.
Dai Mubai grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's wrist and asked, "Zhuqing, tell me, do you like Ao Tian?"
Zhu Zhuqing shook off Dai Mubai's hand, glanced at him, and said coldly, "What I like is none of your business."
"How is it none of my business? I'm your fiancé!" Dai Mubai shouted loudly.
Zhu Zhuqing let out a cold laugh and turned to leave.
Dai Mubai rushed forward again, grabbing Zhu Zhuqing's hand and shouting, "You have to tell me clearly today, are you having an affair with Ao Tian?"
"Dai Mubai, what are you saying?" Xiao Wu scolded angrily. Zhu Zhuqing tried to shake off Dai Mubai's hand, but this time he used all his strength, preventing her from breaking free.
"So what if I am? So what if I'm not?" Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
"If you are, then I'll..."
"What do you want?" Ao Tian's voice suddenly came, interrupting Dai Mubai's words.
Dai Mubai released Zhu Zhuqing's hand and turned to face Ao Tian, who was walking over. He sneered, "Ao Tian, I warn you, don't even think about going after Zhuqing. We're engaged. If you dare to steal my woman, you're slapping the Star Luo royal family in the face and making an enemy of the entire Star Luo Empire! You should think carefully about whether you can afford this price."
"Star Luo Empire? Heh..." Ao Tian sneered, then said, "It's about to be destroyed."
"You... are speaking so arrogantly," Dai Mubai said, angered.
Even the Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to speak so openly, yet Ao Tian just blurted it out.
Ao Tian walked in front of Dai Mubai and chuckled, "So I'm arrogant, what about it? You want to fight me?"
Dai Mubai was trembling with rage, but when he thought of Ao Tian's Soul Ancestor level strength, he had to endure it.
He knew that he wasn't a match for Ao Tian right now.
"Very well, you've got guts, I, Dai Mubai, will remember this," Dai Mubai said with a harsh tone, turning to Zhu Zhuqing and saying, "Zhu Zhuqing, do you think you can escape your fate by ignoring me? You're too naive. How can you tarnish the empire's reputation? If I write a letter back, neither the royal family nor your Zhu family will let you go."
Zhu Zhuqing's face paled, this was the only thing she was worried about.
If Dai Mubai really reported her actions back to the Star Luo Empire, someone would probably come looking for her immediately.
At that time, she might be captured and imprisoned, or she might be put to death.
"I hope you think carefully. Choosing to be with this man is choosing to go against the entire empire!" Dai Mubai said and turned to leave.
Zhu Zhuqing stood there, her expression grim, unsure of what to do.
Should she immediately flee Shrek Academy and find a place to hide and cultivate?
Ning Rongrong held Zhu Zhuqing's hand, comforting her, "Don't worry. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has two Super Douluo. Even the Star Luo Empire wouldn't dare to offend us. With me here, no one will dare to take you away."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her expression improving slightly.
Xiao Wu said, "Don't worry. Ao Tian's identity isn't simple either. If anyone dares to come and capture you, I guarantee they won't return."
"Thank you," Zhu Zhuqing said, touched.
"You're welcome." Ao Tian walked over and stood in front of Zhu Zhuqing, saying, "Just based on how Dai Mubai spoke to me earlier, I guarantee you'll be safe within Shrek Academy. Even if a Title Douluo comes, they won't be able to take you."
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, thinking Ao Tian was bragging.
Ao Tian's tone really hadn't changed at all; it was exactly the same as the first day she met him.
Zhu Zhuqing said seriously, "Ao Tian, thank you for helping me out just now."
Ao Tian patted Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so polite. I didn't like him either. If I didn't think it would be a little fun to keep him around, I would have blown him away with a breath a long time ago."
"Come on, blowing someone away with a breath? You're about to blow your own cover," Ning Rongrong said speechlessly.
"Let's go, we're going to have breakfast," Ao Tian said with a smile.
On the roof of the boys' dormitory, Tang San frowned, watching Ao Tian and the others leave, feeling somewhat puzzled.
He had been on the roof just now, cultivating his Purple Demon Eyes, when he witnessed the argument between Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ao Tian.
"What exactly is the hatred that makes Big Brother Mubai so angry?"
Tang San jumped down and entered Dai Mubai's room.
Dai Mubai, who had just been furious, was now quietly meditating on his bed, cultivating. Hearing someone enter, he opened his eyes.
"Tang San, what brings you here?" Dai Mubai pulled at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile.
In truth, his mood hadn't calmed down. Having suffered such a great shock, he understood that he had to cultivate desperately, which was why he had started meditating as soon as he returned.
For him, Tang San was a very worthy person to befriend. If Tang San could help him create hidden weapons, or teach him how to make them, then even if he lost to his elder brother, he could still rely on these magical hidden weapons to save his life.
Dai Mubai was very aware of the important role of Ao Tian's soul tools and Tang San's hidden weapons. If they could be equipped on the army, it would create an invincible army.
If he had hidden weapons, he would have leverage to negotiate with the empire.
Tang San walked in and asked, "Brother Mubai, what happened between you, Zhuqing, and Ao Tian just now? I heard you say Zhuqing is your fiancée, and that she likes Ao Tian? What's going on?"
Dai Mubai sighed, "Actually, Zhuqing's real name is Zhu Zhuqing. She's my fiancée. She traveled all the way from the Star Luo Empire to find me. But I didn't expect that before she came to Shrek Academy, she met Ao Tian on the road and was bewitched by him. Now, the two of them might be having an affair. Tell me, am I not angry?"
Dai Mubai spoke, his chest heaving violently.
Tang San frowned, "It's not that bad, is it? Ao Tian already has Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na. Why would he steal your fiancée?"
Dai Mubai sneered, "Tang San, it seems you still don't understand men. Nine out of ten men want multiple wives and concubines. Zhu Zhuqing is beautiful and has a great figure. Who wouldn't be tempted?"
Tang San was skeptical, "When I have a chance, I'll help you ask Ao Tian. If he's really like you say, I'll try to persuade him."
Dai Mubai looked moved, "Good brother, I really didn't misjudge you."
Tang San said, "This is what I should do. After all, marriage is arranged by the parents and a matchmaker. Zhu Zhuqing, as your fiancée, shouldn't be too close to other men, otherwise, it would be unfaithful. And Ao Tian shouldn't have an improper relationship with a married woman. Don't worry, we're all classmates. I won't just stand by and watch them make such a serious moral mistake."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Tang San," Dai Mubai said.
"Brother Mubai, you can call me Xiao San from now on," Tang San said.
"Alright."
Tang San left Dai Mubai's room and headed towards the cafeteria.
He was thinking that when he returned later, he must talk to Ao Tian privately to advise him not to make a mistake.
Taking someone's wife is an act that the world won't tolerate.
Otherwise, why would there be the saying of the hatred of killing a father and seizing a wife?
If Ao Tian really took Dai Mubai's wife, then he would probably have a huge grudge with Dai Mubai.
Tang San believed he could still distinguish right from wrong.
