Lin Ye remained silent, thinking, 'Then I should thank your good brother.'
Dai Mubai continued to ramble on.
"If I had stayed in the palace, I would only have been entangled and dragged down by the infighting with my elder brother.
But ever since I left the Star Luo Empire, I haven't had to worry about my elder brother tripping me up, and I've been able to cultivate with peace of mind.
See, my cultivation hasn't fallen behind all these years, has it?
So, Zhuqing, what I want to tell you is that even though I'm no longer in the Star Luo Empire, I've never given up, nor have I forgotten my responsibility as your fiancé.
Zhuqing, please don't be stubborn, okay? You coming to the academy also shows you haven't given up, right? Let's work hard together from now on, okay? We both have a bright future."
In the Sea of Spirit, Zhu Zhuqing sat on the ground, hugging her knees, looking helpless and fragile.
When she heard Dai Mubai's plea, her expression was somewhat moved, but she quickly recalled the scene of Dai Mubai fighting Tang San at the Rose Hotel, those twins, and that classic quote, 'Women are not people, they are resources…'
If she hadn't coincidentally seen that scene, if Ma Hongjun hadn't let it slip back then, she might have truly been moved by Dai Mubai's words.
But no matter what she thought, she could do nothing now; her body had been taken by a stranger.
Lin Ye fell silent. Putting everything else aside, Dai Mubai's talent was truly impressive.
He was still level 39, even though he chased women three times a day.
He was the same age as him, worked much harder than him, yet his achievements were so far behind. One could only say that talent was a significant disadvantage.
The Douluo Continent, after all, was a World that valued bloodlines.
Lin Ye suddenly snapped back to reality and found Dai Mubai's claws already on his waist, and a large mouth puckered towards him.
A chill rose in his heart, and goosebumps instantly appeared all over his body.
Lin Ye quickly broke free and slapped him. He was not a delicate Little Cat.
Splat!
With a loud slap, a reddish handprint appeared on Dai Mubai's right cheek, along with three scratches from fingernails.
Having been slapped, anger surged in Dai Mubai's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed. He said bitterly, "I'm sorry, I was too eager, but I hope you think carefully about what I said earlier. No matter what, you and I are one, aren't we?"
After speaking, Dai Mubai, perhaps feeling ashamed and embarrassed, shoved the roses into Lin Ye's hand and turned to leave.
Before he had walked far, Dai Mubai heard the door behind him slam shut. He turned back, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
Raising a hand to touch the scratches on his face, Dai Mubai's expression gradually became twisted. He whispered, "Spicy enough, I like it. This makes it more fun."
Compared to the submissive gold-diggers of the past, the unattainable Zhu Zhuqing interested him more, and a desire to conquer her arose in his heart.
Inside the room, Lin Ye leaned against the door, his face looking as if he had eaten excrement, utterly disgusted by Dai Mubai.
Sitting on the bed, his body entered a shallow state of cultivation, while his consciousness sank into the Sea of Spirit.
"How is it? You didn't let your fiancé have his way. Are you a little disappointed?"
Lin Ye asked with a slight tease.
Lin Ye felt that if it had been Zhu Zhuqing just now, given her behavior recently, plus Dai Mubai's sweet talk and their existing fiancé-fiancée relationship, this woman might have truly half-heartedly given in to Dai Mubai.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, remaining silent like a block of wood, completely ignoring Lin Ye.
Lin Ye lifted Zhu Zhuqing's chin. From her gaze, he saw only hatred, humiliation, and exhaustion.
Lin Ye didn't care; it would be truly strange if Zhu Zhuqing didn't hate him after what he had done.
And his next action was even more audacious and disrespectful.
"Mmm!"
Feeling the touch on her lips, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes widened abruptly.
"What exactly do you want?"
After breaking free, Zhu Zhuqing asked angrily. Compared to anger, shyness was much less.
After all, her sense of shame had been completely trampled by the man in front of her.
"Isn't it obvious? Of course, to screw you! Woman, you can't escape my grasp." Lin Ye replied with a smile.
...
The night was deep, and an indescribable scene was unfolding in the Sea of Spirit.
Immersed in the embrace of pleasure, Lin Ye suddenly felt something was off, and his consciousness immediately returned to his body.
On the spot, Zhu Zhuqing collapsed to the ground, looking like she had been broken.
In the dormitory, Lin Ye, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. After careful sensing, Lin Ye found that the spirit power in his body was heavy and very difficult to circulate.
Fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, his body felt a bit weak, and there was a sensation of heat that made Lin Ye involuntarily want to strip off his clothes.
Lin Ye keenly sensed that something was wrong. His nose twitched, and with the keen sense of smell of the Hell Civet, he caught a faint, almost imperceptible scent.
Lin Ye's gaze immediately fell on the corner of the dormitory, where Dai Mubai's roses were in the trash can.
And the scent in the room was emanating from there.
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes. It seemed there was some kind of aphrodisiac on the roses, and it was a mixed one, not only making spirit power sluggish but also stimulating female desire.
Dai Mubai had drugged Zhu Zhuqing. Was he planning to force himself on her?
Lin Ye instantly understood how things were unfolding.
"Heh heh, good, good, Dai Mubai, you're quite despicable."
Lin Ye instinctively wanted to throw the roses out the window, but on second thought, he decided to put them, along with the trash can, into his storage spirit tool. This way, the smell would be blocked.
Dai Mubai had actually used drugs. That guy might be hiding not far outside.
After thinking about it, Lin Ye decided not to alert him, letting Dai Mubai come and then giving him a good lesson.
Lin Ye first went to the bathroom, and a basin of cold water poured over his head, making him feel some relief from the heat in his body.
He circulated his spirit power to dispel the effects of the aphrodisiac. Fortunately, only Zhu Zhuqing's physical body was affected; Lin Ye himself, due to the special nature of his ghost form, was not seriously affected.
Due to the drug, Zhu Zhuqing's spirit power within her body had gone on strike, but fortunately, Lin Ye could still mobilize his own spirit power.
The drug had not been completely cleared yet, but Lin Ye heard faint sounds outside.
When he walked out of the bathroom, he happened to see Dai Mubai had already entered the room and closed the door from the inside.
Lin Ye scoffed inwardly. This shameless fellow actually knew how to pick locks.
Dai Mubai turned around. The woman before him looked utterly weak, her wet hair clinging to her cheeks, adding a touch of allure. This appearance made the lust in Dai Mubai's heart burn even stronger.
"Zhuqing, you can't blame me. I've already lowered myself and pleaded with you, yet you remain so unyielding."
