Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 19 This senior is too cruel
Tang San took the elixir, sat cross-legged on the floor, and began to circulate his Xuan Tian Gong to recover from his injuries.

After confirming that Tang San was unharmed, Lin Mu looked around.

Inside the hotel, most of the tables and chairs had been crushed into wood chips and dust, scattered everywhere. The walls bore charred marks from the Phoenix Fire Line, as well as cracks and dents caused by the pressure of gravity.

Especially where Zhao Wuji had just been, the floor had completely shattered and collapsed, forming a conspicuous shallow pit.

The hotel owner and several staff members were hiding behind the counter, trembling with fear, heartbroken over the loss but too afraid to ask for compensation.

Lin Mu's expression was calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of coldness. His gaze swept across the ruins and finally landed on Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

The two were already terrified, afraid of being targeted by this senior who was suspected to be a titled Douluo.

Under Dean Flander's guidance, they kept in mind the school rule that "a good Soul Master is one who doesn't dare to cause trouble," but they never expected to run into such a tough opponent today.

No, it should be a diamond steel plate.

On this continent, the strong are respected, especially since they were the ones who started the trouble. It's only reasonable for this senior to take action against them.

"Predecessors"

Dai Mubai's throat was dry, and he struggled to speak, trying to maintain the last shred of dignity, but his voice trembled uncontrollably, highlighting the fear in his heart.

Ma Hongjun shrank back, wishing he could hide his bulky body behind Dai Mubai.

Lin Mu slowly stepped forward, standing in front of Dai Mubai, her voice completely calm: "Tell me, what should I do with you?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's heart nearly jumped out of his throat, and his brain raced as he tried to find the perfect excuse.

Only now did he realize that the Soul Masters he had encountered before were all weaker than them, so he didn't need to think about the consequences and simply crushed them with his strength. He never expected things to turn out this way.

Just as Dai Mubai's brain was about to explode, Ma Hongjun spoke up from behind.

"Senior, you are so magnanimous, please just ignore us like a fart."

Dai Mubai's eyes widened, and he felt an urge to curse. How could he have such a terrible teammate?

In this situation, the best course of action is to pay some price to appease this senior's anger.

And this fool actually thought he could get away with it? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

That's bad; there's probably no chance of reconciliation left.

Did I give you permission to speak?!

Lin Mu's eyes narrowed, and his aura surged instantly, crashing down on Ma Hongjun like Mount Tai. With a thud, Ma Hongjun's bulky body fell heavily to the ground.

Ma Hongjun was merely a Great Soul Master, yet under the pressure of a Soul Saint, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face filled with terror.

"Senior, spare my life! I know I was wrong."

Seeing Ma Hongjun's miserable state, Dai Mubai felt a strange sense of satisfaction. This idiot deserved it.

"Senior, we are willing to compensate you."

Dai Mubai dared not slack off in the slightest, fearing he would follow in Ma Hongjun's footsteps, and quickly said.

"Since you attacked first, you are fully responsible for the losses to the inn, as well as the owner's trauma. You two will be responsible for compensating him with one thousand gold soul coins."

Lin Mu said, leaving no room for argument.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. This hotel owner has been caught in this undeserved disaster and should be compensated accordingly.

However, he certainly wouldn't pay. The debt should be paid by Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

"One thousand gold soul coins?"

Ma Hongjun coughed up another mouthful of blood. His once chubby face was now completely bloodless, and he almost fainted from heartache.

That thousand gold soul coins would be enough for him to go to the brothel countless times.

Dai Mubai's expression was also very unpleasant. Although he was the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, he had escaped and didn't have much money on him. A thousand gold soul coins was already a considerable sum. "Senior, isn't this a bit too much? Even if the entire inn is added together, it's not worth a thousand gold soul coins."

"Is it."

Lin Mu's eyes turned slightly cold. He suddenly clenched his fist and said, "Let's keep it simple and brutal. As long as you take one punch from me, whether you live or die, I'll waive the thousand gold soul coins."

Dai Mubai immediately shut his mouth, his face turning from white to green.

What a joke!
With this senior's ruthless methods, even Vice Dean Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, was sent flying by a single punch and is still in the pit.

With his small stature as a Soul Venerable, let alone saving his life, he would probably be smashed into mincemeat on the spot.

"We're willing to pay compensation."

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth. In this situation, he had no choice but to spend money to avoid further trouble.

He immediately took out a heavy money bag from his storage soul tool and handed it to Lin Mu.

Although Lin Mu said that the two of them would pay together, Ma Hongjun only had the Soul Master subsidy as his source of income, and he often frequented brothels, so he didn't have any money on him.

Lin Mu took the money bag but did not put it into his storage bracelet. Instead, he tossed it to the innkeeper.

The innkeeper was both surprised and delighted to see the money bag thrown at him. He quickly caught it. Although the inn was badly damaged, he had only lost three or four hundred gold soul coins at most. He had more than doubled his money.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

The innkeeper quickly thanked Lin Mu, saying that compared to other arrogant soul masters, this soul master was a truly kind person.

Upon seeing this scene, Dai Mubai felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He clearly gave me that money, didn't he?

However, none of that matters. Getting away as quickly as possible is the priority right now; every second you stay increases the danger.

"Senior, now that the money has been paid, can we leave now?"

Dai Mubai asked tentatively.

Lin Mu pointed at Tang San behind him and said in an unfriendly tone, "You think you can leave before you've even paid my disciple's medical bills?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's heart skipped a beat; as expected, things weren't that simple.

Having just taken out a thousand gold soul coins, he now had to pay for medical expenses, and endless regret welled up in his heart.

If he had known this would be the outcome, he would never have bothered a stranger.

"Senior, how much do you need?"

"Not much, ten times the amount from before will suffice."

"ten times?"

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded. Ten times the amount was only 10,000 gold soul coins, which he couldn't afford even if he emptied his savings.

Moreover, now that he's in the Star Dou Great Forest, it's too late for him to ask the Star Luo Royal Family for money.

"Senior, I don't have that much money on me. Could I pay you back first?"

Dai Mubai had no other choice but to say this.

"If you don't have money, don't you know to borrow from someone?"

Lin Mu frowned slightly and looked at the three people standing at the door: Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.

The three of them made no attempt to help throughout the entire process; of course, they probably wouldn't dare to.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong are both support-type Soul Masters. Lin Mu could slap them both away with one slap, and Zhu Zhuqing is about the same.
