Chapter 48: Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing Jointly Protect Tang San's Assistant, While the Scumbag Dai Mubai Is a Coward
"What? You actually think you did nothing wrong..."
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but shudder, her beautiful eyes staring at the self-righteous Dai Mubai in disbelief.
Dai Mubai didn't directly answer the question, but his eyes held no regret. He simply maintained his princely airs and addressed Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhu Zhuqing, I can forgive your rudeness today, but since you've come for me, you shouldn't say things like this... You should know that only by standing by my side can we both have a chance of survival."
Dai Mubai was clearly trying to redeem himself from this humiliation. At the very least, he had to keep Zhu Zhuqing out of this matter before he could take action against Tang San, who had ruined his plans.
As for the girl with the rabbit spirit, Dai Mubai naturally saw no threat.
How could a Blue Silver Grass assistant and a Great Spirit Master with only two spirit rings possibly be a match for his evil-eyed white tiger?
After saying this, Dai Mubai even regained his previous air of superiority, awaiting Zhu Zhuqing's response.
Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip hard, her beautiful eyes looking at Dai Mubai with complex disbelief. How deeply she felt at that moment? Perhaps only she knew.
"You shameless fellow, I'll beat you to death today..."
Seeing Dai Mubai not only unaware of his wrongdoing but also threatening Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu snorted softly, raising her long, slender legs to charge forward, but was caught in time by Tang San.
"Wait, Xiao Wu... Don't be so impatient, let's see how she reacts..."
Tang San grabbed Xiao Wu's arm and took a serious look at the voluptuous Zhu Zhuqing beside him.
Xiao Wu understood Tang San's meaning and bit her lip lightly before retreating. Of course, she could see Dai Mubai's three spirit rings, especially the purple Millennium Spirit Ring.
Xiao Wu knew that if she acted alone, she wouldn't stand much of a chance against Dai Mubai. But if she teamed up with this mysterious little cat girl, the odds were in their favor. Two against one, they might even be able to give that disgusting scumbag a beating.
Especially if she was lucky and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit ability could be used to maximum support, she'd have an even better chance.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing still seeming hesitant, unsure whether to stay with Dai Mubai, Tang San, already aware of the situation, feigned calmness and whispered,
"Zhu Zhuqing, although I don't know the true nature of your relationship with that guy... if you truly wish to consider Xiao Wu and me friends, we'll face whatever you face together."
"Yes..."
Xiao Wu said, without showing any jealousy, glaring at the disgusted Dai Mubai.
"Can't you see? That scumbag doesn't even think he did anything wrong. Instead, he keeps pushing you. Why do you still want to follow such a disgusting person? Little Cat Girl..."
Xiao Wu was clearly right. Looking at Dai Mubai's eyes, Tang San could clearly tell that what he had just said was truly his innermost thoughts.
Considering Dai Mubai's actions in the original novel, such as looking at Meng Yiran's figure in front of Zhu Zhuqing, it was clear that Dai Mubai never felt he had done anything wrong to Zhu Zhuqing. He felt that as a prince, it was normal for him to have multiple women. He even secretly did so during the time after Zhu Zhuqing arrived.
In Dai Mubai's view, his status was far higher than Zhu Zhuqing's, and Zhu Zhuqing should remain chaste for him, while he could indulge himself freely. He still felt that way.
After a brief silence, the hesitation and complexity in Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes finally faded. She took a deep breath and spoke with a hint of fatigue.
"You know what? Dai Mubai, ever since you left the Xingluo Empire and abandoned me alone to escape your fate, I've known that you're nothing... The reason you're so indulgent here is probably that you want to experience more of your so-called happiness before facing your fate. But I really didn't expect you to be such a bastard. You still don't feel guilty towards me. A cowardly, useless, and disgusting man like you, what qualifications do you have for me to follow you?"
After saying this, Zhu Zhuqing seemed really tired. She lowered her head slightly, not wanting to see Dai Mubai's disgusting face again.
"Go away, Dai Mubai. Pretend I wasn't here. Go and continue experiencing your so-called happiness."
"What... Zhu Zhuqing, how dare you speak of me like that? How could you become like this? You weren't like this before..."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing insult him once again in front of others, even calling him a coward and a weakling, Dai Mubai's previously smug expression turned to fury. He clenched his fists, his eyes glaring fiercely at Tang San beside him.
"It must be this guy, it must be this Tang San who bewitched you... If I don't destroy him today, I'm not the Evil-Eyed White Tiger..."
With that, Dai Mubai clenched his fists, a massive burst of soul power erupting from them, overturning the table next to him. It was clear he was planning to attack Tang San, perhaps even kill him.
In Dai Mubai's memory, Zhu Zhuqing had always been obedient to him, like his well-behaved maid, quiet but never disobeying his orders.
What Dai Mubai had just said was true. In the Xingluo Empire, the Dai clan was the true royal family. Zhu Zhuqing's family was granted a position of supremacy only because of their spirit fusion technique. However, this came at a price. The greatest price, of course, was that the women chosen by the family to possess the Nether Spirit Cat spirit were forced to share the cruel fate of the Dai princes. They had no choice, destined from birth to marry a Dai man. Any disobedience would bring ruin upon the entire family.
The Zhu family seemed to hold a high position in the Xingluo Empire, but Zhu Zhuqing knew that none of the Zhu men truly wielded power. Instead, they were all assigned to garrisons along the border between Tiandou and Xingluo for various reasons.
In other words, Zhu men and women, from birth, were destined to wield eternal loyalty to the Dai royal family.
It was the knowledge of her family's fate from her father that shaped Zhu Zhuqing's apathy. Initially, she didn't want to accept this fate, but she couldn't change it.
To avoid bringing trouble to the family, Zhu Zhuqing had been forced to stay by Dai Mubai's side like a maid since childhood.
So, Dai Mubai assumed, as obedient as she had been, she would never dare disrespect him. But now, hearing Zhu Zhuqing speak like this in person, how could he accept it? Naturally, he linked everything to Tang San, believing that he had bewitched his fiancée.
"You want to destroy me? You do it..."
Tang San feigned panic and took a step back, but deep down, he was filled with disdain. However, he had no intention of taking action himself, as Dai Mubai was completely unworthy of his attack.
If he accidentally killed Dai Mubai with a single punch, wouldn't that be too easy for him?
Besides, he was now a direct disciple of Pope Bibi Dong. By pretending to be nearly bullied, he could ask his senior sister Hu Liena to avenge him when she arrived.
Tang San had only just learned some things. Just as Zhu Zhuqing had said, Dai Mubai had abandoned Zhu Zhuqing, then a little girl, three years earlier to escape his family's fate. Wasn't that a cowardly, selfish loser?
While Zhu Zhuqing was helpless and fearful in the Xingluo Empire, Dai Mubai was checking into rooms with different girls every day in Suoto City, constantly being mocked by them, oblivious to his own guilt.
Dai Mubai knew this all too well; he had indeed fled to Suoto City out of fear of death. His eagerness to shift the subject and blame everything on Tang San was a way to mask his inner panic.
But even with this knowledge, Dai Mubai refused to admit he was a weak and cowardly man. In this, he shared the same weakness as the loser Yu Xiaogang.
He simply wanted to mask his inner weakness by displaying his immense strength, and Tang San, before him, was the perfect target for his bullying.
In a flash, Dai Mubai entered a state of spirit possession. His hands transformed into tiger paws covered in white fur, looking menacing. He advanced towards Tang San with a fierce expression. Xiao Wu, always playful and adorable, saw the fierceness and murderous intent in Dai Mubai's eyes, and her big, adorable eyes suddenly filled with seriousness. She quickly opened her arms to block Tang San, saying anxiously,
"Brother San, hurry up, I'll hold him off..."
