Chapter 57: Is This the Student Cultivated by the So-Called Monster Academy?
"Zhu Zhuqing?!"
The moment those three words popped out of Ma Hongjun's mouth, Dai Mubai, who had been slumped on the bed, suddenly shot up into a sitting position, his gaze locked fiercely onto Ma Hongjun's fat face.
The listless Aura that originally enveloped him was instantly replaced by a strong sense of possessiveness.
Food guarding JPG.
Damn it, this Fatty actually dared to have designs on his fiancée; he felt this dead Fatty was clearly courting death!
Ma Hongjun was startled by his sudden reaction and stared blankly at the other person, his tone full of confusion, "Boss Dai, why are you reacting so strongly? Do you know this stunning girl?"
Dai Mubai did not answer immediately. His chest heaved violently, and the image of the cold, stubborn, and curvaceous figure in his mind gradually merged with the name Ma Hongjun had just spoken.
Zhu Zhuqing had finally arrived.
Things must have been difficult for her all these years in Star Luo City, right?
However, he was now a different person than before; he could proudly stand before his fiancée and declare that the advantage was now on their side!
But...
The moment he recalled Ma Hongjun's lewd tone and lecherous expression just now, an unnamable fire surged in his heart, and a certain masculine territorial instinct instantly erupted!
"Fatty, I warn you!"
"Put away those filthy thoughts of yours. Zhu Zhuqing is not someone you can covet! Stay away from her in the future!"
Ma Hongjun was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
He had originally wanted to share information about the new junior sister with the other party, but instead, he was met with a barrage of warnings?
Fine, fine, so you guys are only surface-level brothers?
"No, Boss Dai, you're being unreasonable here, aren't you?"
"You already have so many girls, yet you still fight with your brother over one! You are simply not acting like a decent person!"
Facing Ma Hongjun's complaints and accusations, Dai Mubai only felt a wave of annoyance. He coldly uttered a single sentence, "She is my fiancée," and then paid the other person no further mind.
The latter's eyes instantly cleared up.
Huh?
Was it that surprising?
Ignoring Ma Hongjun's dumbfounded expression, Dai Mubai immediately rushed into Shrek's rudimentary bathroom, cleaned his body as quickly as possible, shaved off his stubble, changed into a set of clean and neat luxurious robes, and meticulously combed his golden hair until not a single strand was out of place.
He then practiced what he considered the most charming smile in front of the mirror before nodding in satisfaction.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed the door open and walked straight toward the direction of the female dormitory.
...
Soon, Dai Mubai strode with what he considered to be an elegant gait across the training ground, finally stopping before a closed door.
This was Zhu Zhuqing's room.
Looking at the wooden door before him, the hand he raised paused in mid-air for a moment, and a long-lost sense of nervousness and apprehension welled up in his heart.
Inside the room...
Zhu Zhuqing was sitting cross-legged on the hard, simple bed, meditating and Cultivating. The instant Dai Mubai approached the door, a tremor originating deep within her Bloodline suddenly struck her.
The natural attraction between the Nether Cat and the Evil Eyes White Tiger—even through the thick door panels—allowed her to clearly sense Dai Mubai's presence outside.
"It's him..."
The latter suddenly opened her eyes, and a flicker of struggle crossed her icy black pupils.
She hadn't expected Dai Mubai to come knocking so soon after she arrived.
The presence outside the door lingered, appearing somewhat hesitant.
Listening to the slightly rapid breathing sound, Zhu Zhuqing felt a mix of emotions.
She had traveled thousands of miles, fleeing from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire, and then winding her way to this remote backwater, all for the sake of finding an answer—to see if he was truly striving to become stronger?
She absolutely had to survive!
"Hoo..."
Finally, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, lightly bit her lower lip, and a trace of resolution flashed in her eyes.
Since they would meet sooner or later, there was no point in hesitating any longer.
She abruptly stood up, walked briskly to the door, and pulled it open.
"Creeaak—"
The moment the door opened, tender affection immediately lit up Dai Mubai's eyes. "Zhuqing, I..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was frozen by Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, which was as cold as ice shards.
Zhu Zhuqing completely ignored his flowery words and did not even look at his deliberately groomed handsome face.
The first thing she did the moment the door opened was to release her Soul Power perception without reservation, thoroughly scanning Dai Mubai from top to bottom.
She wanted to know the extent to which this man, who had abandoned her to escape here alone, claiming he needed to'seek an opportunity to become stronger, " had Cultivated over the past few years.
Was he truly, as she had guessed, just one step away from becoming a Soul Sect?
But—
When her perception landed on Dai Mubai, the Soul Power fluctuation that returned caused her entire feline body to freeze.
Weak.
Far too weak.
Although the Soul Power fluctuation was relatively solid, the total amount was pitifully small, even giving people a sense of superficiality?
Moreover, Dai Mubai's current Soul Power had not reached the Peak of Rank Thirty-nine she had anticipated; it hadn't even crossed the watershed of Rank Thirty!
Rank Twenty-nine? Was this his current Soul Power Rank?!
Was this the student cultivated by the so-called Monster Academy?
Zhu Zhuqing's originally just indifferent face instantly darkened. The trace of hope that still remained in her beautiful eyes was completely shattered at this moment, turning into thick disappointment and disbelief.
"You..."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice trembled; she was enraged.
She stared fiercely at Dai Mubai, her chest heaving violently. Her voluptuous figure appeared even more breathtaking under the intense emotional fluctuation, but what radiated from her now was pure Killing Intent.
For a moment, she couldn't even understand what she had been persisting for all these years.
She was already a Great Soul Master; how could Dai Mubai, who was much older than her, also only be a Great Soul Master?
With such a cultivation level, how could he possibly win against her older sister and brother-in-law?
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing's unsightly expression and his heart sank with a 'thud."
Bad!
He felt he needed to explain himself properly.
After all, according to Yu Xiaogang's explanation, he was currently solidifying his Foundation, so a slower Cultivation speed was normal.
Although he understood, it was clear that his little delicate wife who had just run over from Star Luo City had not yet recognized the greatness of Master Yu.
"Zhuqing, listen to me explain..." Dai Mubai quickly tried to defend himself.
"Enough!"
Zhu Zhuqing coldly interrupted him, her contempt completely undisguised.
Her fiancé, who had made her bear the pressure of her Family and face her sister's pursuit alone, had actually ended up in such a sorry state outside?
"Hasn't even broken through to Soul Elder..."
"Dai Mubai, you really are a waste!"
