"Young Master Dai, welcome!" The waiter at the door said respectfully.
Dai Mubai strode into the restaurant and casually glanced around.
Suddenly, Dai Mubai's peripheral vision caught the corner where Zhu Zhuqing was sitting, and he was instantly stunned. "Why is she here!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai coldly. She glanced at the pair of twins, her eyes showing no emotion.
Immediately after, she turned her head and ignored Dai Mubai, letting Lu Feng bandage her wound.
"I was wondering why two magpies flew past the door earlier. So it was Young Master Dai who arrived!" At this moment, a slightly plump middle-aged man walked out from the back.
The middle-aged man bowed slightly to Dai Mubai, glanced unobtrusively at the twin sisters, and smiled, "Young Master Dai, your exclusive VIP room 'Rose Ocean' has been kept for you."
"Today, I guarantee that you and the two young ladies will be satisfied!" the middle-aged man said fawningly.
Dai Mubai nodded at him, then said to the two sisters, "You two go upstairs first and wait for me after you've washed up."
The two sisters kissed Dai Mubai on the left and right cheeks. The girl in white spoke in a sweet, coquettish tone, "Young Master Dai, then you must come up quickly. My sister and I have been afraid of the dark since we were young."
Dai Mubai pinched her butt and patted it lightly. "Hmph, let's see how I deal with you later."
Watching the two sisters go upstairs, Dai Mubai quickly walked over to Zhu Zhuqing's side and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
He then pointed at Tang Si and questioned, "What is your relationship with him!"
"Heh!"
Zhu Zhuqing was immediately amused by Dai Mubai's anger.
She had never expected that Dai Mubai, having been 'caught red-handed' by her, would actually accuse her first.
"Twins? Young Master Dai plays quite wildly," Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly. "Don't forget your identity!"
"Of course I haven't forgotten!" Dai Mubai straightened his posture and said loudly, "I am fifteen years old this year, with level thirty-five soul power! In at most two more years, I will definitely be able to break through to Soul Ancestor."
"I have my own plans for the family. As for you..."
Dai Mubai looked Zhu Zhuqing up and down and said teasingly, "Your current cultivation level should still be below Soul Elder, right? If your cultivation can't keep up, I won't be able to protect you then."
"You!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt a tightness in her chest. It was unclear whether it was from anger or from the binding. She patted her chest and finally managed to calm her emotions.
"Besides, what's wrong with a man having some fun!" Dai Mubai said righteously, completely disregarding Zhu Zhuqing's words.
In these past few years, he had never slacked off in his soul power cultivation.
Those women were just seasonings in Dai Mubai's life.
In fact, to prevent himself from becoming addicted, Dai Mubai had set a rule for himself that he would date each girlfriend for at most three months.
In Dai Mubai's plan, as long as he broke through to the Soul Ancestor cultivation level, the gap between him and Davis would be gone.
At that time, he would naturally have the capital to negotiate terms with the imperial family again.
Dai Mubai was not some pedantic person. On the contrary, he was very smart.
He firmly believed that as long as he showed enough value, he would surely be able to break the constraints of the rules. After all, in history, there had been several failed competitors who had survived in the end.
As for Zhu Zhuqing...
Dai Mubai had never considered her, and even regarded her as a burden.
He hadn't considered her when he ran away.
He didn't now.
And he wouldn't in the future!
However, who could just touch a tiger's whiskers? Although Zhu Zhuqing was young and her talent was low, she was still nominally his woman.
Daring to touch his, Young Master Dai's, woman?
Even if it was just an old piece of clothing he had discarded, without his, Young Master Dai's, permission, who would dare touch it!
Dai Mubai's gaze turned to Tang Si, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
Fuck!
It's this kid again!
Can't beat him!
Dai Mubai took a deep breath and secretly swore in his heart, "One day, I will settle these scores one by one."
Dai Mubai restrained his emotions and turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing:
"Zhu Zhuqing, you need to be clear about your own identity! I don't care what happens between you and your lover, but you must remember, without me, you are nothing!"
After speaking, Dai Mubai turned and walked directly up to the second floor.
"Holy crap! Is this still the Dai Mubai from the original novel who indulged in debauchery and lived a life of drunkenness?" Lu Feng looked at Dai Mubai's back and frowned slightly.
From Dai Mubai's words just now, Lu Feng could roughly guess his thoughts.
As long as Dai Mubai showed enough talent and raised his cultivation level, he might really be given a second chance by the Star Luo Imperial Family.
Lu Feng recalled the scene when he had first met Dai Mubai.
For him to be able to roll out in front of a group of people was enough to show his firm determination.
To be honest, Lu Feng had originally held great prejudice against the Star Luo Empire's succession system. After all, this system looked as if it had been cursed.
However, Dai Mubai's words today had given Lu Feng a new idea.
If those losers were ultimately forgiven by the Star Luo Imperial Family and saved from a certain death, then they would surely be loyal to the imperial family and would never betray them for the rest of their lives.
When the Star Luo Imperial Family dealt with the losers, they hadn't invited anyone to watch. Who knew how they were ultimately dealt with?
Dai Mubai changed his name to Dai Muhei and hid in the army. Who could recognize him?
Lu Feng raised the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Dai Mubai's deeds, one after another, flashed through Lu Feng's mind.
The restaurant in the spirit hunting market...
The Great Spirit Arena...
And finally, this restaurant today...
"Dai Mubai's scheming is too deep, he's ruthless, and he holds a grudge against me..."
"If he is ultimately not dealt with by the Star Luo Imperial Family, for me, he becomes a venomous snake hidden in the dark, ready to strike at any time..."
Originally, Lu Feng had never taken Dai Mubai seriously.
In Lu Feng's opinion, as long as he held the immortal herbs in his hands and cut off Dai Mubai's opportunity, no matter how much he struggled, he would ultimately not escape death...
Lu Feng's eyes narrowed, and he gently placed the teacup on the table.
This child must not be allowed to live!
"Huff~"
A rapid breathing sound interrupted Lu Feng's contemplation.
He looked up and saw Zhu Zhuqing panting heavily, her fists clenched tightly. Her newly bandaged palm was now dripping with blood again.
"Smack!"
Zhu Zhuqing slammed her hand heavily on the table. The teacup on the table overturned, and tea spilled all over the floor.
"Damn it!" Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth.
Dai Mubai's words were originally Zhu Zhuqing's plan as well.
In the Star Luo Imperial Family's succession system, there was indeed a second rule.
A failed prince, if he could reach level fifty before the age of twenty-five, or accumulate enough military merit in the army, could wash away his 'crime'.
Both conditions were harsh, but they were the only two ways for a loser to survive.
However, this prince would also lose his status in the main clan and become a disciple of a branch family. Moreover, his descendants, within three generations, could only be granted the title of Earl at most.
The above rules also applied to the failed disciples of the Zhu family.
The Star Luo Imperial Family was not foolish. The competition between the princes was only to promote their rapid growth, not to raise venomous insects.
If every generation had to kill a prince with outstanding talent, the Dai family would have disappeared from the Star Luo Empire long ago.
"Are you okay?" Lu Feng asked with concern.
The meaning behind Dai Mubai's words was that he had completely abandoned Zhu Zhuqing. Although this seemed incredible, it had indeed happened.
With Zhu Zhuqing's personality in the original novel...
She and Dai Mubai would probably never be able to get together again. They might even become enemies!
The enemy of my enemy is naturally my friend.
"I'm perfectly fine!" Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
She took a deep breath, and her breathing gradually calmed down. Her face returned to that indifferent expression.
"Between you and him..." Lu Feng asked, pretending to be curious.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Feng coldly and remained silent for a long time. "He is my fiancé. As you can see, I have been abandoned by him. It's ridiculous, isn't it?"
"No, no, no," Lu Feng quickly waved his hand.
"Young Master Dai, who in Suotuo City doesn't know his reputation as a playboy? I just didn't expect that he would still fool around outside even with such a beautiful fiancée like you."
"What are you trying to say?" Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
She felt very depressed right now, as if there was a ball of anger in her heart with nowhere to vent.
"Ahem!" Lu Feng coughed lightly and said seriously, "Since he doesn't care about you like this, how about this? You should cheat on him fiercely too! Get your revenge on him fiercely!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at Lu Feng, her eyes flickering uncertainly.
