Chapter 107 A pair of geishas that merchants had already discarded, yet you, Dai Mubai, cherish them like treasures.
The moment Huo Yuhao and Zhu Zhuqing stepped into the hotel, the lobby was already a mess. Tables and chairs were scattered, glass shards and various other items were strewn all over the floor, and a tense and uneasy atmosphere filled the air.
As for the hotel staff, they had all fled by this time, fearing they might suffer an undeserved disaster.
Amidst the chaos at the front desk, Tang San's figure stood out. He stood before Dai Mubai, his left hand tightly protecting Xiao Wu behind him, while his right hand reached out towards Dai Mubai. One yellow, two purple spirit rings slowly rotated around Tang San.
At this moment, Dai Mubai was tightly bound by Tang San's third soul skill and could not move.
Looking at Dai Mubai, whom he held tightly in his grasp, Tang San stood there, a strange sense of emotion welling up inside him. He recalled the past: the same person, the same scene, the same encounter with Dai Mubai at the Rose Hotel. However, in this life, his strength had far surpassed Dai Mubai's.
"Mu Bai, let's end it here for today. With your current soul power, you can't break free from my third soul skill."
Tang San slowly walked towards Dai Mubai, a gentle smile on his face.
Despite their vastly different personalities and attitudes towards relationships, Tang San inexplicably harbors a fondness for Dai Mubai. Perhaps this is the inexplicable mutual appreciation between heroes.
Although Dai Mubai appears to be amorous and promiscuous in matters of the heart—in Fatty's words, he has slept with almost every young woman and married woman in Soto City—this does not diminish his unique heroic aura.
Dai Mubai must possess extraordinary qualities to have become Tang San's close friend. After all, how could someone Tang San value be like an ordinary person?
Upon hearing Tang San's overtures, Dai Mubai's tightly clenched fist gradually relaxed.
He gazed at Tang San, his eyes revealing an indescribable appreciation and recognition. Dai Mubai's spirit possession state gradually faded, his originally powerful body returned to normal, and his overall demeanor became much more peaceful.
For some reason, Dai Mubai felt a strange sense of familiarity when he looked at Tang San.
"I originally thought that my talent was enough to be called the pride of heaven," Dai Mubai laughed self-deprecatingly, his voice carrying a hint of unwillingness, but more so a sense of admiration for Tang San.
"I didn't expect that Brother Tang San's talent was even greater than mine. I think we will meet again soon, and then we will probably become classmates."
Although Dai Mubai was defeated in his contest with Tang San, his tone still revealed an arrogant and overbearing demeanor. He put his arm around the waists of the twins again, and the three of them walked together towards the hotel lobby exit.
Although Dai Mubai really wanted to stay and get to know Tang San better, his two little darlings in his arms were already impatient. The spring night was too short to pass quickly, so he naturally wanted to make the most of it.
These twins were borrowed from a wealthy merchant after Dai Mubai went to great lengths. Even he, Dai Mubai, had only tasted such exquisite beauties a few times, so he naturally wanted to enjoy them today.
Seeing Dai Mubai being let go by Tang San, Xiao Wu immediately pouted: "Little San, why did you let this lecherous tiger go? Didn't I just say to make him get out?"
Xiao Wu seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold; she had long disliked Dai Mubai.
Hearing that Xiao Wu was unhappy, Tang San immediately began to coax her. Because Huo Yuhao and Zhu Zhuqing were standing at the door, blocked by a sign, Tang San did not notice Huo Yuhao and turned to lead Xiao Wu upstairs.
However, Huo Yuhao bumped into Dai Mubai right in the middle of the night. Just as Dai Mubai was about to walk out of the hotel lobby, his gaze was suddenly drawn to Zhu Zhuqing standing to the side.
Zhu Zhuqing stood there, her temperament aloof, like a plum blossom standing proudly in the cold wind, a stark contrast to the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Dai Mubai felt a strange attraction, a resonance between his White Tiger Martial Soul and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul. Almost instantly, he realized that the girl before him was his fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing.
Upon thinking of this, Dai Mubai almost instinctively loosened his grip on the twins, his gaze fixed intently on Zhu Zhuqing.
He hurried towards Zhu Zhuqing. Just as he was about to reach her, his gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, who was tightly holding Zhu Zhuqing's small hand. At that moment, Dai Mubai's mind went blank, followed by a deafening roar.
"Who the hell are you? Get your hands off me right now."
Dai Mubai's voice was like a cold winter wind, piercing and full of anger. His eyes flashed with barely suppressed rage, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
Watching Zhu Zhuqing and Huo Yuhao's intimate display, an indescribable surge of jealousy and anger welled up within him. It was a feeling of betrayal, as if a giant green hat had been placed on his head, filling him with immense humiliation and rage.
Dai Mubai's gaze was cold and fixed on Zhu Zhuqing and Huo Yuhao, his killing intent emanating from him as if it were tangible.
However, when faced with Dai Mubai's questioning, Huo Yuhao just looked at him with a mocking expression, as if he were looking at a clown.
Huo Yuhao's blue eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if they could see through everything. Being stared at like that by Huo Yuhao, Dai Mubai felt a sudden unease, as if all his secrets had been exposed.
However, Dai Mubai, who was in a fit of rage, didn't care about anything else; all he felt was anger and jealousy.
He strode aggressively toward Huo Yuhao. When he reached Huo Yuhao, Dai Mubai's martial soul had once again been activated. His body began to change; his muscles swelled, his strength multiplied, and he exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
His eyes grew even fiercer, like a tiger ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.
"Zhu Zhuqing, I need you to explain what's going on here, or I'll kill this kid in front of you."
Dai Mubai's voice was deep and threatening, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he would tear Huo Yuhao to pieces at any moment.
Dai Mubai's anger had reached its peak; he needed an explanation, an explanation that could calm his rage.
Otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to cripple Huo Yuhao before him. This wasn't just a matter of Dai Mubai's reputation, but also the face of the Star Luo royal family!
If word gets out that the Crown Princess of the Star Luo Royal Family was seen arguing with a strange man outside, how could Dai Mubai possibly save face in the Soul Master world?
Imagine, where is the dignity of the Star Luo royal family? Where is the respect of its members? This is not just a personal disgrace, but a disgrace to the entire royal family. Dai Mubai knew that once such a scandal was exposed, not only would his personal reputation be severely damaged, but the prestige of the Star Luo royal family would also be harmed.
He couldn't imagine how furious his father would be if he found out about this. He figured he would never be able to live this peaceful life again and would be dragged back to the Star Luo Empire and imprisoned by his father once more.
Looking at Dai Mubai, who seemed to have gone mad, Zhu Zhuqing found it utterly ridiculous.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself. What had she been expecting? She had actually naively believed that Dai Mubai would work hard to cultivate outside and strive for their future.
She had so hoped that he could become a responsible and dependable man, but reality disappointed her time and time again.
Zhu Zhuqing took a step back without making a sound, her voice icy: "Dai Mubai, what I do is none of your business."
A resolute glint appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes; at this moment, she had completely given up any expectation of Dai Mubai.
"What did you say? Say it again! You are my fiancée, my fiancée, Dai Mubai's fiancée! Now you shamelessly entangle yourself with this wild man next to you, not only slapping me, Dai Mubai, in the face, but also slapping the face of the Star Luo Emperor!"
Dai Mubai's words were filled with anger and humiliation. He could not accept this situation, could not accept that his fiancée had an affair with another man in public.
Dai Mubai practically roared the last sentence at Zhu Zhuqing, raising his hand high as he spoke, about to slap her face.
However, before Dai Mubai's hand could fall, Huo Yuhao swiftly struck, firmly grasping Dai Mubai's wrist in his palm.
Holding Huo Yuhao's hand, Dai Mubai felt as if his hand was fixed in place by iron clamps, and no matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail.
Looking into Dai Mubai's red eyes, Huo Yuhao said, word by word, "Dai Mubai, so you still know that you are a prince of the Star Luo Empire."
Huo Yuhao knew that Dai Mubai's anger was not because of how deep his feelings for Zhu Zhuqing were, but simply because Dai Mubai completely regarded Zhu Zhuqing as his personal property, and more because his face and status were threatened.
"You son of a bitch... *slap*!"
A heavy slap landed on Dai Mubai's face, leaving him completely stunned.
However, before Dai Mubai could even begin to rage, he clearly heard Huo Yuhao's words enter his ears.
"Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai, you are truly despicable! What kind of bullshit Star Luo Prince are you? You're holding onto a pair of chickens that merchants have already discarded like treasures, disgracing the entire Dai family for 18 generations!"
"If you ask me, your Dai family shouldn't bother with any marriage alliance with the Zhu family. Just marry every single chicken in the entire Douluo Continent into your Star Luo royal family, and then your Star Luo Empire should be renamed the Chicken Coop Empire!"
