Chapter 13

「Gulp. 」

Tang San swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his gaze toward Luo Ye filled with shock.

He never imagined that a tiny Suotuo City could produce a monster like Luo Ye, unheard of before.

Not to mention a Soul Elder, even those Title Douluo probably couldn't have three 100,000-year spirit rings, right?

His teacher Yu Xiaogang had said the first spirit ring could be at most a hundred years; Yu Xiaogang, revered as a master by countless soul masters on the continent, would never be wrong about martial soul theory.

So this guy's three 100,000-year spirit rings must be fake!

After using Soul Impact to instantly kill Dai Mubai, Luo Ye retracted his spirit rings, glanced at Tang San and Xiao Wu, smiled, and nodded at them.

Tang San was momentarily stunned, then quickly forced a friendly smile.

What Tang San didn't know was that Luo Ye was already concocting another story in his Diary.

【Awesome!】

【The Simulated Soul Skill is great—simulating all three spirit rings to 100,000-year level directly terrified Dai Mubai into paralysis; even Tang San looked dazed.】

【Too bad I can't finish them off yet; I can only let them narrowly escape for now.】

【After seeing Dai Mubai's true face, Zhu Zhuqing won't be deceived like in her past life; when I later propose taking her away, it should go smoothly.】

【If I could also take Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong along, that would be perfect.】

【Those two have helped Tang San a lot early on; taking them would slow his growth, buying me more time to become stronger.】

【But in my past life I had little interaction with them, so I don't know them well; I'll have to wait until we enter Shilaike Academy to find a chance.】

【According to past developments, Zhu Zhuqing and the two will become best friends; maybe then I can get Zhu Zhuqing to persuade them to leave Shilaike Academy, that fiery pit.】

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, then tacitly shifted their gaze; both had already decided to find a chance to talk properly later.

Since the matter is settled, Xiao Wu has no reason to stay; she can only follow Tang San away to look for other lodging.

After Luo Ye woke the Rose Hotel manager and staff, had them clean up the mess, he took Zhu Zhuqing to the room.

To avoid exposing her Diary copy, Zhu Zhuqing pretended ignorance and asked deliberately.

「Luo Ye, what's with your spirit rings? How did they become three 100,000-year spirit rings? 」

Luo Ye spread his hands in a bear-like gesture.

「My first soul skill is Simulation; I just simulated the three spirit rings to 100,000-year level, originally just wanting to scare him—I didn't expect him to be so easily frightened that he fell without me lifting a finger. 」

Zhu Zhuqing nodded vigorously in agreement.

「He really is a useless guy. 」

Hearing that, Luo Ye's eyes turned strange at once.

Poor Dai Mubai, called useless by his fiancée, and she's about to move in with him soon.

Looking at Dai Mubai, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, he probably hasn't woken yet; even if he does after my Soul Impact, he'll likely need several days to fully recover.

Not only did he miss enjoying the twin sisters, even his golden hair is about to change color.

The room snatched from Dai Mubai's hands is on the top floor, named Red Ocean.

The door's color matches its name—vivid red—with dark-red crystal rose ornaments on it, and beside it a vertical line of small characters: Red Ocean, Ocean of Love.

Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing stared at the door, their expressions turning odd.

Luo Ye took the initiative to suggest.

「Zhu Zhuqing, this hotel seems to be a place for couples' dates, and this is the last room left; shall we go elsewhere? 」

Without Luo Ye's words, Zhu Zhuqing might still have chosen to retreat.

But his words made Zhu Zhuqing realize that if Luo Ye hadn't snatched this room, Dai Mubai would already have moved in with those twin sisters.

Since he's already done that, what do I have to worry about?

Anyway, in my past life I already had deep, unwavering feelings for Luo Ye, and now I've grown fond of him; at worst I'll just treat this as early adaptation.

Thinking this through, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated no longer and spoke directly.

「No need, let's stay here. 」

Saying that, she pushed open the door and walked in.

Luo Ye watched Zhu Zhuqing's alluring back with interest, couldn't help praising Dai Mubai in his heart.

【Thank you Dai Mubai for the little kitty, excellent silver, truly excellent silver!】

As Luo Ye followed Zhu Zhuqing inside, he still felt moved: Dai Mubai really splurges on chasing women—too bad this time he's destined to make her his wedding dress.

The room is huge; the living room alone exceeds fifty square meters, its furnishings and decorations exquisite, pleasing to the eye at a glance.

Most importantly, in the hall's center stands a giant red heart made of roses, about two square meters, requiring at least a thousand roses, with a silk ribbon hanging from it bearing a line of text.

1001, you are my only one.

Besides, flower vases with red roses are placed everywhere, their rich fragrance filling every corner, making the air seem to turn amorous.

Surveying the surroundings, Luo Ye deliberately said.

「That Dai Mubai guy sure knows how to enjoy himself—he set this up just for those twin sisters, a pity he never got to use it. 」

Xiao Wu, who had been dazedly staring at the roses, snapped back at his words, took a deep breath, then looked at Luo Ye with a low tone.

「Luo Ye, actually Dai Mubai is my fiancé. 」

「Ah? Your fiancé? This」

Luo Ye looked utterly astonished, mouth agape, unable to believe Zhu Zhuqing.

Seeing his expression, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been in a foul mood, almost couldn't hold back laughter.

【Hehe, Luo Ye surely never imagined that the diary he wrote has long been seen by me; he clearly knows these things, and to let me see Dai Mubai's true face he deliberately brought me here, yet now he's still pretending ignorance.】

Zhu Zhuqing thought Luo Ye was on the first floor while she was on the second, so she could see more clearly how much he had done for her.

Thus, this little kitty smiled and said.

「From the moment I saw him bring those twin sisters here, our engagement was over; from now on I have no relation with him whatsoever. 」
