Dai Mubai, somewhat dejected, said, "I get it now. Today has truly been an eye-opener. I never expected to be defeated by someone younger than me."
Then, unable to resist, Dai Mubai asked, "Are the three of you going to Shrek Academy the day after tomorrow?"
Su Ming nodded in response.
Afterward, Dai Mubai showed a meaningful smile. "Then we'll meet again soon."
He tossed a money pouch to Su Ming and the hotel staff, then left with the twin sisters. As they left, one of the twins flirtatiously winked at Su Ming, but he pretended not to notice. He wasn't desperate like that.
Afterward, Su Ming cast a discreet glance at the shadowy figure hiding in the corner before heading to his room with Xiao Wu.
The person lurking in the shadows, watching his fight with Dai Mubai, was none other than Zhu Zhuqing.
By coincidence, in her rush to escape the Zhu family in the Star Luo Empire and avoid being pursued, Zhu Zhuqing had used several spatial talismans. However, these talismans couldn't precisely control her destination, and she ended up right outside this hotel. It was there that she saw her fiancé, Dai Mubai, coming to the hotel with twin sisters in tow for a night of pleasure.
This realization chilled her to the bone. She had thought that despite Dai Mubai's decadence, perhaps fleeing to the Heaven Dou Empire was his way of making a last stand, perhaps to cultivate seriously. Yet, here he was indulging in pleasures instead.
For years, she had dedicated herself to cultivating diligently, and with the power boost provided by her diary, she had successfully reached level 35, catching up to Dai Mubai's strength. But now, all of her efforts felt like a joke!
She had followed them secretly, only to witness Su Ming's duel with Dai Mubai.
Thanks to Su Ming's previous live streams, she quickly recognized him. This dispelled her initial thought of confronting Dai Mubai, as they would meet again in two days anyway.
Afterwards, she left. Little did she know, Su Ming had already sensed her presence.
After six years of cultivation, not only had Su Ming greatly increased his spirit power, but his mental strength had also grown significantly. Recently, he had even evolved his Sharingan into the Mangekyo Sharingan, making his senses extremely sharp. Naturally, he had noticed Zhu Zhuqing's attempt to conceal herself.
Zhu Zhuqing appearing at the Rose Hotel was a bit of a surprise to Su Ming, but it was something he wanted to see. He needed Zhu Zhuqing to gradually lose faith in Dai Mubai; otherwise, it would be hard to win over someone as cold as Zhu Zhuqing.
As Su Ming and Xiao Wu made their way to their room, Su Ming began writing in his diary.
As soon as Su Ming started writing, Xiao Wu saw a diary appear in front of her eyes. She knew that Su Ming was writing again today.
Diary Entry:
[Today, Xiao Wu, Tang San, and I finally arrived in Suotuo City. After spending two days exploring the city, we'll head to Shrek Academy, where we'll meet Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.]
[When we were checking into the Rose Hotel, Dai Mubai suddenly showed up. And, of course, he brought twin sisters with him. Truly, he lives up to his reputation as the 'Tiger of Lust.']
[Meanwhile, his fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing, has been training diligently for years, trying to ensure that they won't be defeated by her sister, Zhu Zhuyun, and the Crown Prince, Davis. Yet, Dai Mubai, on the other hand, has fled to Suotuo City in the Heaven Dou Empire, indulging in his own pleasures.]
[I know Zhu Zhuqing's hard work has nothing to do with Dai Mubai. Their marriage was arranged by the royal family, and they probably barely knew each other as children.]
[Zhu Zhuqing works so hard not because of Dai Mubai, but because she wants to free herself from her family's shackles. She's trying to save herself from losing her powers after failing in the royal power struggle.]
[To say her cultivation is for Dai Mubai—well, I don't believe it. After all, she was so young when they were engaged. Deep down, she's probably always resented the arranged marriage, but she had no power to resist. Otherwise, her entire family would have been ruined.]
[That's why, in the original story, Zhu Zhuqing risked her life to flee to the Heaven Dou Empire, hoping to find Dai Mubai in Suotuo City and see if the two of them could work together to change their fate.]
[But her efforts were in vain. In the original story, she, too, saw Dai Mubai bring twin sisters to a hotel. I can't remember if it was this Rose Hotel or not.]
[Coincidentally, today, during my fight with Dai Mubai, I sensed her hiding nearby, watching. She must be feeling disappointed right now. She's probably lost all faith in Dai Mubai!]
Zhu Zhuqing was startled. She hadn't expected Su Ming to notice her. His sensory abilities were far stronger than she imagined!
Even Xiao Wu glanced at Su Ming in admiration. She hadn't noticed anyone watching them from the shadows. Su Ming was really impressive!
[Honestly, I look down on Dai Mubai. If I remember correctly, in the original story, when Dai Mubai entered Shrek Academy, he was twelve years old with level 25 spirit power. Three years later, when Zhu Zhuqing enrolled, she was also twelve but had already reached level 27, two levels higher than Dai Mubai.]
[Dai Mubai's innate spirit power was level 8, while Zhu Zhuqing's was only level 7. Under normal circumstances, Dai Mubai should have surpassed her in strength by age twelve. But instead, she surpassed him by two levels.]
[This shows how dedicated Zhu Zhuqing is to her cultivation, driven by a fierce determination. On the other hand, Dai Mubai, in comparison, is just... useless.]
[During these three years, Dai Mubai must have indulged with many women, not just today. Even the hotel staff know him by name and call him 'Young Master Dai' with fawning familiarity. Clearly, this isn't his first time bringing women here.]
Zhu Zhuqing's face grew colder as she read this, her fists clenched in anger. Her heart, once holding a sliver of hope for Dai Mubai, was now filled with disillusionment.
Still, thinking it over, Zhu Zhuqing realized she shouldn't be surprised. All the royal princes were like this—like ravenous wolves driven by lust.
She no longer expected any change in Dai Mubai.
Without Su Ming's diary, she might have tried to join forces with Dai Mubai to fight Davis and Zhu Zhuyun. But now, she just wanted to grow stronger and no longer cared about anything else.
The only reason she had come here was to see what Dai Mubai had been doing for the past three years. More importantly, because of the system's rules, she had to appear in the right place at the right time.
Besides, Zhu Zhuqing was a bit curious about Su Ming. Perhaps by staying by his side, she could change her destiny!
