Chapter 97 The Sorrow of Dai Mubai, The Passion of Zhu Zhuqing_2

Ma Hongjun forced a smile.

"I'm not angry, when I was suffering before, where were you? Why didn't you help me stop Zhu Zhuqing?"

Dai Mubai said, his eyes unable to contain the hatred and bitterness that spilled out.

Clearly, he bore a grudge against both Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

"What were you doing just now..."

"Boss Dai, I was scared silly just now, Zhu Zhuqing was too vicious..."

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but recall that bloody scene in his mind.

He felt a chill in his heart, a coldness between his legs.

Both he and Oscar were paralyzed with fear.

He couldn't have imagined that the previously cold girl would become so cruel.

Without a word, she even chopped off fingers.

No...

Cruel is only how they saw it.

Recalling it, there was no fluctuation in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, as if it were as simple as eating and drinking.

In fact, they had no idea that, in just one short month, Zhu Zhuqing had taken at least a thousand lives with her own hands.

In Slaughter City, this wasn't considered much, she had seen countless scenes far more brutal than this.

And the name Ghost was earned through such cruel slaughters.

"Headmaster, we're right up ahead."

Just then, Oscar's voice rang out.

And following him were Flander, Zhao Wuji, and a group of other teachers.

It turned out that after Zhu Zhuqing had left, instead of stepping forward like Ma Hongjun, he had chosen to go to the school to find teachers.

"Hiss..."

"Hiss..."

Even though they had heard quite a bit about it from Oscar on the way over, seeing Dai Mubai in person, everyone couldn't help but inhale sharply.

It was too tragic.

Dai Mubai was even more pitiful than they had imagined.

"Jiang Zhu, heal him quickly."

From the crowd, Liu Erlong instructed the girl beside him.

"Yes, Headmaster!"

Jiang Zhu hesitated no longer, the Healing Staff appeared in her hand, and a green light fell upon Dai Mubai's body.

Suddenly, the wounds on his body stopped bleeding and formed scabs at a rate visible to the naked eye.

But...

Jiang Zhu looked helplessly at Liu Erlong and said, "Headmaster, I've done my best, but some things that are lost can only be lost. I have no way to change that."

What's lost is lost...

The crowd looked at Dai Mubai with complex expressions.

Silence spoke louder than words.

"So it seems... I'm completely disabled now!"

The hope that had just sparked in Dai Mubai's heart was instantly shattered.

"Ah, restrain your grief."

Flander thought for a moment and sighed.

Then, he stepped forward and patted Dai Mubai's shoulder, as a gesture of consolation.

"Boom!"

At that moment, all the fantasies in Dai Mubai's heart were shattered.

Flander's words were akin to sentencing him to death.

"Headmaster, please wait..."

Dai Mubai suddenly called out to Flander.

Flander turned around, puzzled, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Do you have any plans for dealing with Zhu Zhuqing?"

Stopping Dai Mubai's words, Flander was stunned, "Why should I deal with Zhu Zhuqing?"

"What? You mean to ignore it?" Dai Mubai frowned and asked.

"The incident today is tragic for you, but at the end of the day, the root cause was your personal affair, and it has nothing to do with the academy. Hence, I won't intervene in this matter," Flander replied, shaking his head.

Flander knew, even if others were unaware, the issue between them. Dai Mubai had abandoned Zhu Zhuqing, fled to Shrek Academy, and started a life of indulgence, leaving behind a girl whose destiny was tied to his. Now, the girl had come for revenge and made Dai Mubai pay the price; there was nothing inappropriate about it.

After all, isn't might makes right the hard truth in the world of Soul Masters?

"If Flander doesn't care, I care even less," Zhao Wuji promptly declared his stance.

Liu Erlong knew he couldn't remain silent, "If Flander and Zhao Wuji don't care, then I can't do anything either, especially since you're not an official student of Blue Tyrant Academy."

"You..."

"You all..."

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded, completely stunned.

All their attitudes were clear, they were all very much adopting an 'it's none of my concern' approach.

Suddenly, he had a realization.

"Hah, haha, enough, really enough."

"There's no need to make your reasons sound so grandiose, in the end, isn't it just because you are afraid of Qin Xiao?"

He sneered, slowly pointing his finger at everyone. "So you all think I'm a soft persimmon, easy to squeeze, huh?"

"Good, very good. I, Dai Mubai, will remember this. And you all better remember, there will be a day when I, Dai Mubai, will make you pay for showing favoritism today."

Faced with Dai Mubai, who seemed like a rabid dog, everyone frowned.

"Boss Dai, how can you speak about the teachers and the dean like that!" Ma Hongjun couldn't help but say.

And he frantically signaled with his eyes for Dai Mubai to admit his fault.

"Ma Hongjun, save it. I can hear all your little schemes,"

Dai Mubai unapologetically said, "Let me tell you, from now on, don't even think about getting any benefits from me. To your face, 'Boss Dai,' behind your back, 'Dai Mubai,' do you think I don't know you? Pah! I just didn't want to expose you."

Ma Hongjun was immediately rendered speechless.

"Dai Mubai, by saying this, are you disregarding the feelings of your brothers?"

On the side, Oscar coldly reprimanded.

"Oscar, stop pretending to be the good guy here, and get lost as well,"

Dai Mubai looked at Oscar and said, "Do you think you're some kind of decent bird? Don't think for a second I don't know. You've peeped at Ning Rongrong several times without ever succeeding.

You might as well save it. Ning Rongrong is the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, adored by everyone. She is as high as the heavens, and you are as low as the earth. Give up on that unrealistic dream of a toad lusting after swan meat.

Also, don't think I'm unaware of how you envy, are jealous of, and hate Qin Xiao. I wish you love but never get it, and stay single for life!"

Boom!

Oscar, after hearing Dai Mubai's words, was struck as if by thunder and his face went deathly pale.

Without a doubt, Dai Mubai's words had hit him where it hurt the most.

"Enough!"

Flander couldn't stand to listen anymore and sharply called out, "Dai Mubai, do you realize that your words have deeply hurt those who truly care about you?"

"Enough? Haha, not at all!"

Faced with Flander's reprimand, Dai Mubai instead laughed, "Cut out the act, all of you. I'm telling you, I'm dropping out today. I don't want to stay in this lousy academy for even a second longer! Pah!"

He spat fiercely and turned, staggering toward the outside of the academy.

"Mader, how can this be tolerated?"

Zhao Wuji's explosive temper flared up,

Really, did he think anyone could just rub sand in his eyes?

If he couldn't beat them, he would have to endure, but Dai Mubai, this little upstart, should he be indulged?

"Old Zhao, cool down,"

But Flander's hand pressed heavily on Zhao Wuji's shoulder, signaling him not to act rashly.

"Old Master Fu, why?"

Zhao Wuji looked at Flander puzzled.

But Flander didn't give Zhao Wuji a satisfying answer, "Let him go."

Alas!

Zhao Wuji sighed helplessly and had no choice but to let it go.

"Forget it, let's disperse."

With a wave of his hand, he walked back into the academy with a gloomy face.

The crowd also tactfully dispersed.

Soon, only Flander and Liu Erlong were left on the scene.

"Old Master Fu..."

Liu Erlong paused for a moment before slowly beginning to speak.

"It's okay, Er Long, you don't need to comfort me; I'm not that upset."

Flander shook his head, squeezing out a smile on his face.

Uh...

Mirroring him, Liu Erlong's pretty face showed a touch of embarrassment, "Old Master Fu, you misunderstood; I only wanted to ask whether Xiao Gang is arriving soon? It's been over a month now, right?"

Ah, this... Flander blushed, then nodded, "Soon, very soon..."

...

Elsewhere.

Zhu Zhuqing slowly pushed open Qin Xiao's door and found Qin Xiao smiling at her.

"You're back, is everything taken care of?"

"Your Highness!"

Unable to contain the excitement and emotion within her, Zhu Zhuqing plunged vehemently into Qin Xiao's embrace.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Her voice was full of pleading and tears.

Qin Xiao gently patted her back, "Completing your long-cherished wish wasn't only due to your own efforts."

"No..."

Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Qin Xiao's handsome face from within his arms, and with a frail, mosquito-like voice said, "Your Highness, take me. Now I am truly clean."

She had nothing else to offer but herself.

"What?"

Qin Xiao was taken aback.

But in the next instant, a pair of red lips had already initiated the kiss.

Along with a passion that burned like fire.

"Zhu Qing, it's still daytime," Qin Xiao whispered.

"Your Highness, no talking, kiss me."

"Okay!" Qin Xiao replied softly, and then claimed her with vigor.

(After some thought, I've decided to leave out what happens next. After all, even if I wrote it, dear readers, you might not be able to see it.)
