Chapter 95: I Was Just Joking, and Sister Went All Out!

When you're young, you don't appreciate the beauty of a rich woman…

Qian Renxue, this older sister, wasn't much older than Dai Mubai, but this "meal" was truly irresistible!

"Xue'er, this secret room is so empty and spacious. Besides cultivating, don't you think it can be used for something else?"

Qian Renxue furrowed her elegant brows slightly and instinctively glanced around the room.

"Hmm, I suppose it can be used for something else."

"For example?"

Dai Mubai's lips curved into a mischievous smirk, his gaze playful and teasing.

"For example, you're an idiot!"

Qian Renxue poked his forehead gently with her finger, both embarrassed and annoyed.

She wasn't a child anymore—how could she not understand the meaning behind Dai Mubai's words?

"Hahaha…"

Dai Mubai laughed heartily, completely unfazed.

"I'm not ready yet. But who knows—if you visit me a few more times, maybe I'll be prepared."

Qian Renxue's soft, melodious voice rang in his ears, her tone tender yet filled with hidden meaning.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered with emotion, as though her heart held an unspoken longing.

"I was just joking, and Sister already went all out?"

Dai Mubai swallowed nervously, his gaze momentarily unfocused.

After escorting Dai Mubai out of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue finally exhaled deeply, feeling slightly relieved.

She hadn't wanted to reject him outright or disappoint him. However, they really hadn't known each other for long.

Her desire for Dai Mubai far outweighed his feelings for her—he at least had so many companions by his side, but she… Qian Renxue had only him.

"It's so late, and she didn't even invite me to stay the night. Sigh~"

Dai Mubai shook his head as he wandered aimlessly through the streets of Heaven Dou City.

Where should I go? Back to the dorms?

"Forget it, I'll head to the Spirit Arena and take a look around."

In the year he'd spent in Heaven Dou City, Dai Mubai had lived in a haze, buried in the joy of constant companionship.

"If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands… clap clap clap…"

The Heaven Dou Grand Spirit Arena was the largest Spirit Arena in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

Unlike smaller arenas, it often hosted battles featuring Soul Emperors or even Soul Sages. Rumor had it that two or three Soul Douluo guarded the arena, which ensured that no troublemakers ever dared cause a scene.

With the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament approaching, students from advanced academies around Heaven Dou City were beginning to use the Spirit Arena to gain combat experience and refine their teamwork.

"Eh? Dai Mubai!"

Just as Dai Mubai arrived at the arena, a surprised voice called out from nearby.

"Dugu Yan? Ye Lingling?"

Seeing Dugu Yan, Dai Mubai stiffened slightly, feeling a twinge of guilt.

A year ago, he had thoroughly looted the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

At first glance, Dugu Yan looked entirely different from before—her hair and eyes, which had once been emerald green, had turned black.

For a moment, Dai Mubai thought he'd mistaken her for someone else.

"Did the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd really work that well?"

Shaking his head slightly, Dai Mubai pushed the thought aside.

"Well, well, I didn't expect Young Master Dai to still remember us two losers!"

Dugu Yan teased as she pulled Ye Lingling forward, her eyes playful and full of charm.

"Dai Mubai, hello."

Ye Lingling's voice was soft and timid. She kept her head lowered, unable to meet Dai Mubai's gaze. A blush crept across her face, partially hidden beneath her veil.

"Victory and defeat are common in battle, but beauties like you two are rare. How could I ever forget?"

"Hmph, shameless!"

Dugu Yan's face flushed red as she snorted, though she didn't appear truly angry.

"Dai Mubai, you… you…"

Ye Lingling fumbled over her words, struggling to say anything coherent.

Not wanting to push his luck, Dai Mubai shifted the topic.

"So, are you two here to participate in a match?"

"Yes. I'm not competing today, but Yan Yan is taking part in a 1v1 match."

Dugu Yan glanced at Ye Lingling curiously. This quiet girl rarely spoke, so why was she suddenly so talkative today?

Strange…

"1v1 match?"

Dai Mubai's eyes gleamed with interest.

Dugu Yan's soul power fluctuation had changed drastically from a year ago. Even if she hadn't reached the Soul King level yet, she was probably very close.

"Young Master Dai, you may not be my match anymore."

Dugu Yan said confidently, her tone brimming with self-assurance.

Since her Martial Soul's evolution, she hadn't tasted defeat in a long time.

Back then, when their entire Emperor Team had been crushed by Dai Mubai, it was the worst defeat they'd ever experienced. They hadn't even been able to put up a fight.

It had taken over a month for them to recover from the blow.

But things were different now—her Martial Soul had evolved, and her soul power had soared to level 49!

"Oh? Want to test that theory?"

Dai Mubai smiled faintly. How could he refuse such an eager challenge?

With his current strength, dealing with Dugu Yan would be effortless.

"Let's do it!"

They exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Without hesitation, Dugu Yan walked over and boldly took Dai Mubai's arm, completely ignoring the curious gazes of others as they headed toward the outskirts of Heaven Dou City.

Private duels were best kept off the public stage.

Ye Lingling, looking bewildered, trailed after them silently.

Is Dugu Yan really this bold? Taking Dai Mubai's arm like that!

"Boss, look over there. Isn't that Yan Jie and Lingling?"

Not far away, Yu Feng pointed toward the figures of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

"That's strange… who's that guy Yan Jie is holding onto? From the back, he looks like Dai Mubai."

Because they could only see his back, Yu Feng wasn't certain.

Yu Tianheng frowned, rubbing his head irritably. If only I could dye my hair green…

"Boss, I think that really is—"

"Yu Feng! Shut up!"

Oslo couldn't hold back and shouted at Yu Feng.

Couldn't he see Yu Tianheng's expression? If Yu Feng kept talking, either Dai Mubai or Yu Tianheng was going to die today!

"Huh? Did I say something wrong?"

Yu Feng scratched his head, looking utterly confused.

Yu Tianheng waved a hand dismissively and said, "Yan must have her reasons. There's probably a hidden agenda behind this."

"Boss, should we follow them and check?"

Oslo's face darkened instantly. Why couldn't Yu Feng just stay quiet and be a pretty face?

Yu Tianheng was clearly trying to save face and give himself an excuse, yet Yu Feng had to make things harder.

With a thoughtful expression, Yu Tianheng glanced at Yu Feng. What a good brother! Truly a blessing to have him by my side…

"Uh, Captain! We two brothers will sit this one out."

The Shi brothers suddenly spoke up, clearly uninterested in following.

Perfect. Now Yu Tianheng had no choice but to go.

Where there's a troublemaker like Yu Feng, there's bound to be chaos…
