Chapter 11: Evil-eyed White Tiger? Just a Roadside Stray
Dai Mubai couldn't hear Luo Ye's inner voice, nor could he see his diary, so naturally he didn't know his fiancée had been drifting further away from him.
After seeing Luo Ye and Tang San each accompanied by a great beauty, whose looks surpassed even the twins beside him, Dai Mubai wanted to put on a show in front of them, hoping he might win their hearts.
So Dai Mubai walked up to the counter, arms crossed over his chest, and said arrogantly to the attendant.
"You're new here, aren't you? Don't you know they always have to keep a room for me?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing instantly disliked him even more.
It's obvious that this guy is a regular at the Rose Hotel, to the point where they need to reserve a room just for him—who knows how many women he's brought here over the years.
Seeing his confident demeanor, the attendant was taken aback and asked tentatively.
"May I ask who you are?"
That remark almost made Dai Mubai lose his composure; having failed to show off, he grew even more irritated, his eyes filling with displeasure.
"Get your manager out here!"
The attendant, who wasn't even a soul master, felt a chill seeing Dai Mubai's aggressive aura, dared not delay, and hurried to the back to find the manager.
Zhu Zhuqing was about to speak when the jumping diary directly interrupted her thoughts.
【It seems Dai Mubai didn't even recognize Zhuqing; otherwise he wouldn't have revealed, while acting normal, that he's a regular at the Rose Hotel.】
【This is also normal; in his past life it was the same—he initially didn't recognize Zhuqing either, only learning her identity after she unleashed her martial soul, after which he began pretending he'd been diligently cultivating at Shilaike Academy all along, thus deceiving Zhuqing for a long time.】
【Speaking of which, at first Tang San respectfully called him 'Big Brother Dai', but after Tang San surpassed him in strength, he started calling him Mubai in Tang San's presence, and this guy could only seethe in silence.】
【Unable to cause trouble for Tang San, he could only vent his frustration on others, often throwing his weight around and doing nasty deeds.】
【Because of his current importance at Shilaike Academy, we can't kill him for now, but giving him a harsh lesson to help Zhuqing get revenge is perfectly fine.】
After seeing the new content in the diary, Zhu Zhuqing felt a warm current rise in her heart; she pursed her lips and looked at Luo Ye without speaking.
Luo Ye, expressionless, stared at Dai Mubai and said.
"I think you should take them and change hotels—we were here first."
Dai Mubai snorted contemptuously and said coldly.
"So what?"
Before Luo Ye could reply, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't hold back.
"Nothing much—get lost!"
Dai Mubai shifted his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing, sensing the aura she emitted, and felt it somewhat familiar, as if she shared some connection with him.
But after thinking it over carefully, he found no clues, so he coldly snorted.
"Great, it's been a while since anyone spoke to me like this. Since you also have soul power fluctuations, you must be soul masters too—come at me together. If you can beat me, I'll leave; if you lose, you'll have to perform the word 'scram' for me."
What an overbearing CEO-style statement?
And you're letting him act like that?
Luo Ye rolled his eyes inwardly and decisively began to complain in the diary.
【Fine, that fits my impression of Dai Mubai perfectly—clearly a weakling who can't handle pressure, abandoned his fiancée and fled in disgrace, too timid to make a splash in the Star Luo Empire, yet here in Sotuo City he's putting on airs?】
【Someone like Dai Mubai is nothing but a paper tiger that breaks at a poke; it's time he faced reality.】
Zhu Zhuqing wholeheartedly agreed with Luo Ye's words; in her heart, Dai Mubai was also an incompetent coward.
Even Xiao Wu, who was just a bystander, felt deep contempt for Dai Mubai, thinking he was utter trash from head to toe.
Tang San furrowed his brows, sizing up Dai Mubai, thinking he was still not someone to provoke; to avoid getting caught up later, it'd be best to leave.
"Let's go, Xiao Wu—since there are no rooms here, we'll just find another hotel."
As he spoke and turned to walk out, he didn't expect Xiao Wu to shake her head and refuse.
"Wait a bit before leaving; I want to watch a little longer."
Since Luo Ye had written in the diary that he wanted to give Dai Mubai a harsh lesson, Xiao Wu naturally wanted to see if he was just boasting.
Furthermore, given Xiao Wu's personality, having finally gotten a chance to see some excitement, she certainly wouldn't let anything slip by.
Tang San also guessed her thoughts, his gaze sweeping over Luo Ye and Dai Mubai, then helplessly rubbed his nose—there was nothing he could do about Xiao Wu.
Dai Mubai glanced at Xiao Wu, knowing she wanted to see the spectacle; but for someone like him who loves to show off, he was actually pleased about it.
Back in the Star Luo Empire he'd always been suppressed by Dai Weisi, but now in this little Sotuo City, of course he wants to flaunt his might properly.
This is a perfect chance to let Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing properly gauge his strength—maybe those two great beauties will throw themselves at him.
Even considering Dai Mubai's status and experience, he had to admit that women as stunning as those two are rare finds.
With that in mind, Dai Mubai was about to utter a couple of harsh lines, but before he could speak, the hotel manager came out, trembling with fear.
"Let's talk things out, let's talk things out—definitely don't resort to violence."
Being interrupted again in his attempt to show off made Dai Mubai even more displeased; he gave the manager a disdainful glance and said.
"Manager Wang, you're really getting better at doing business, huh."
Manager Wang wiped his sweat and replied with a forced smile.
"Young Master Dai, please don't say that—it's my subordinates' fault; this kid just arrived yesterday and doesn't know the rules. Sorry, sorry, I'll arrange a room for you right away."
After saying that, he turned his head to Luo Ye with an apologetic expression and said.
"Sorry, both guests, that room was reserved by Young Master Dai; please just go find another hotel."
Zhu Zhuqing heard this and said coldly.
"Since you've already given us a room, why should we be the ones to move? If anyone should move, it's him!"
Really, you wouldn't know unless you looked—but once you do, it's shocking.
Dai Mubai really is just as Luo Ye wrote in the diary: in the Star Luo Empire he was all meek and obedient, but once he got to this little town he started throwing his weight around—such a guy doesn't deserve to be my fiancé!
Zhu Zhuqing's attitude also enraged Dai Mubai, triggering his chauvinism to flare up, and he shouted angrily.
"Even if you wanted to switch, it's too late now—since you insulted me, how could you just leave so easily?"
Facing Dai Mubai's threats, Luo Ye stepped in front of Zhu Zhuqing and confronted him head-on.
Talking more is useless; let me see what you're made of.
