Chapter 276: Davis? Zhu Zhuyun?
“Tch! You think I’m afraid of you? Who can’t get out of bed is still uncertain…”
Saying such explicit words, Qian Renxue felt very embarrassed, but… facing Ling Mo, she dared to say anything.
“Wait and see! When we get back, I’ll let you witness my prowess…”
Ling Mo was furious, but he still steadied himself.
Due to Shrek Academy’s two byes, they didn’t officially participate in the match until the third day.
Over these three days, other academies of the Heaven Dou Empire all made way for Shrek Academy, clearing all potential hidden dangers.
This day, a team appeared in their line of sight, drawing his attention.
The leader had golden long hair draped over his shoulders, his face beaming with a confident smile.
His eyes shimmered with purple light, but they were not Dual Pupils.
His appearance resembled Dai Mubai by at least seventy percent, though his build was even taller and more robust than Dai Mubai’s.
Behind him followed a tall and slender girl, almost as tall as him, with an extremely voluptuous figure that could match Zhu Zhuqing’s.
This girl was very beautiful; her resemblance to Zhu Zhuqing was even greater than that between Dai Mubai and the man before.
However, she lacked Zhu Zhuqing’s icy demeanor.
She appeared entirely gentle, and in that gentleness, her beauty was more easily appreciated.
“Davis? Zhu Zhuyun?”
Ling Mo recognized them at a glance; with such identical features, it was hard not to.
After these two appeared, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai’s expressions clearly fluctuated, their emotions very agitated.
A silent battle intent rose, stemming from the sudden surge of anger on both sides.
“Xue’er, did you see those two below?” Ling Mo suddenly said.
Qian Renxue was puzzled and scanned them, scrutinizing Davis and Zhu Zhuyun back and forth.
It was clear that Ling Mo had a very strong interest in that Star Luo Empire team.
“Interesting! Zhu Qing’s sister?”
Qian Renxue murmured, a flash of Killing Intent in her eyes.
Through this time together, she truly liked Zhu Zhuqing, this obedient girl; her inner stubbornness was just like her own.
In her, it was as if she saw her former self.
She was of course aware of the Star Luo Empire’s power game and understood Zhu Zhuqing and her sister’s Destined Struggle.
Unfortunately, Ling Mo’s involvement was destined to make this Destined Struggle exceptionally lively.
“That’s right! That’s Zhu Qing’s sister…”
Ling Mo activated his Dual Pupils and had already probed her Martial Soul; he was almost certain she was Zhu Zhuyun.
“What? You fancy her?”
Qian Renxue teased.
“What nonsense are you spouting! Watch out, Zhu Qing might get angry…”
Ling Mo’s face darkened; he really wanted to smack her on the butt. This girl was deliberately provoking him.
“I’ve heard that the Star Luo Empire’s fight for the throne is exceptionally brutal; when two tigers fight, one must die!
What do you plan to do! Right now, Zhu Qing clearly can’t participate in that struggle. Once the Star Luo Empire discovers your matter, they will surely take it out on the Star Luo Zhu Family.
At that time, Zhu Qing will truly be caught in a dilemma. Right now, I just want to see how you plan to handle it!
If it really doesn’t work, just tell her sister! I’ll help you eliminate these hidden dangers and strangulate Davis in Spirit City…”
Qian Renxue’s words were filled with Killing Intent. Truthfully, as soon as Ling Mo gave the word, she would act immediately without hesitation.
“Handle it? I haven’t thought about how to handle it either. Deal with soldiers with generals, stem water with earth; if it were before, I might still fear the Star Luo Empire a little.
But now… I’m not afraid anymore. If they really dare to come at me, I’ll fight them.
I can accept fighting for a year and a half, two or three years.
I just don’t know if they can hold out that long…
As for what you said, strangulating Davis in Spirit City—if you want to, I won’t stop you!
But if Davis dies, you’ll have personally pushed Spirit Hall to the forefront. This matter will have nothing to do with me then…”
Ling Mo was willing to give everything for Zhu Zhuqing; this was beyond question.
As long as the Star Luo Empire dared to trouble her, Ling Mo would absolutely not hesitate and would immediately send troops to attack the Star Luo Empire.
“Oh, so manly! That really surprises me…
But what you said makes reason too. This matter… Spirit Hall shouldn’t get involved. After all… this is a contradiction between your Ghost Gate and the Star Luo Empire…”
Qian Renxue teased, her eyes brimming with happiness. She could feel that if she were in Zhu Zhuqing’s position, Ling Mo would fight for her too.
This damn man, though a bit promiscuous, gave his true heart to every woman, even willing to give everything to protect her.
However, her final words had already made her stance clear: she could help Zhu Zhuqing, but only in her personal capacity.
She couldn’t represent Spirit Hall, because… she couldn’t bear such a cost.
“But still, the same words! Whenever you need big sister, just say so. Whatever I can do, I’ll handle it for you.
Zhu Qing isn’t just yours; she’s mine too! Hehe…”
Qian Renxue was turning into a fujoshi, finding ways to claim Ling Mo’s Zhu Zhuqing.
“What yours and mine? Even you are mine!”
“Pah, what’s mine is mine; I’m not yours…”
Below, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun had already approached Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, and it looked like they were having an unpleasant chat.
It was evident from Dai Mubai’s murderous gaze.
“Xue’er, I’ll step away for a bit…”
Ling Mo saw Zhu Zhuqing’s helpless expression and felt very heartbroken.
After greeting Qian Renxue, he directly left the VIP Seating and headed straight for the Shrek Academy area.
“Yo, isn’t this our little Young Master Dai Mubai? How many years has it been, and you’re still so weak!
Sigh… Actually, for you to make it to the finals, as your brother, I feel very gratified…”
Provocative words came, and Dai Mubai gnashed his teeth, roaring in anger: “Davis, no need to put on false pretenses here.
Acting all sarcastic, trying to scare who? Don’t think I’ve become afraid of you…”
“Hehe, aren’t you just afraid of me? Otherwise, why would you degenerate to that backwater place as a playboy, indulging every day…”
At these words, Dai Mubai’s face instantly turned pale, unable to retort.
Yes, he was indeed afraid. What he said earlier was just talk; to this day, he hadn’t escaped Davis’s nightmare.
If not for coming to Shrek Academy, he probably still wouldn’t dare face Davis even now.
At Davis’s appearance, everyone from Shrek was dumbfounded.
Uncomprehending, they had no idea what was happening, only seeing Dai Mubai and that person trading barbs.
“Zhu Qing, what’s going on?”
The attentive Ning Rongrong noticed that Zhu Zhuqing beside her was growing colder, her expression very strange.
“Who are they? They seem to know Mu Bai…”
Tang San asked puzzledly, but no one answered his question.
“Yo, has our little Young Master Dai Mubai gotten so bold now? Looks like you’re fully prepared and ready to challenge us anytime?”
Zhu Zhuyun walked over from the side, teasingly glancing at Dai Mubai before looking at Zhu Zhuqing.
“Zhu Qing, didn’t expect you to make it to the finals too. Looks like you’ve grown quite a bit.
But that’s as far as you go. After the match, come back home with me. Running off without a word, no rules at all.
Mom and Dad miss you a lot; it’s been so long and you haven’t come home to visit. Sigh… such a willful young lady…”
“Zhu Zhuyun, spare us the act. Miss me? Hehe, does that kind of family affection exist in our family?
You and I both know clearly: failure means death. If the one who loses were you, I think… no one would pity you.”
With a cold smile, Zhu Zhuqing responded directly.
