Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 102 Internal Strife

As Dai Mubai spoke, he became more and more convinced that what he was saying made sense, and even at the very end he wanted to reach out and pull Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing merely scoffed and took a step back. Looking at Dai Mubai, who was somewhat arrogant and greasy, she took a deep breath and spoke in a cold tone.

"Heh, I think your imagination has improved quite a bit. Do you know what I've been enduring all alone in Xingluo since you left? You don't know."

"Every time your brother comes to the Netherworld Duke's Mansion to see my sister, even if it's just a casual glance at me, my dear sister will treat me even better afterward."

"Because of our relationship, I have to face all of this. I came here only to become stronger, strong enough to defeat her and change my destiny!"

After saying this, Zhu Zhuqing thought that he had made it very clear that he and Dai Mubai were just so-called comrades-in-arms.

If it weren't for that marriage contract, she and Dai Mubai would be no different from strangers. She came here only to make herself stronger and to tell him what she would be facing soon.

But when Dai Mubai heard these words, he thought Zhu Zhuqing was complaining to him.

After listening, Dai Mubai's tone softened, and he looked at Zhu Zhuqing apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know my departure caused you so much. Don't worry, Zhuqing, give me a chance. I will definitely change in the future. Please believe in me this once, okay?"

Dai Mubai originally thought that since he had already lowered his attitude so much, Zhu Zhuqing's attitude towards him should also improve.

However, when Dai Mubai's words reached Zhu Zhuqing's ears, they only meant one thing.

Similar to a scumbag trying to get the other person to trust him one more time.

As for the main point of Zhu Zhuqing's entire piece, the two people they had to face, Dai Mubai didn't mention a single word about them.

This made Zhu Zhuqing's eyes grow even colder as she looked at the other person indifferently.

Dai Mubai was also surprised that Zhu Zhuqing still had the same attitude as before.

So, the helplessness he had felt before couldn't help but ignite a nameless anger within him, and seeing Zhu Zhuqing, he decided to press her for an explanation.

"We're engaged, are you going to treat me like this from now on?"

Upon hearing the final words and seeing that Dai Mubai still hadn't mentioned his brother Davis, Zhu Zhuqing's glimmer of hope vanished once more. She glanced at Dai Mubai, gave a cold laugh, and decided to speak frankly.

"Heh, while the royal rules are in place, have you ever considered this: if I were to defeat my sister in a direct confrontation and you were to lose, our engagement might not even continue."

The moment these words were spoken, Dai Mubai's face darkened.

Because he also knew that the rule of the Star Luo royal family was that an unmarried couple had to defeat another couple, and the winner would be king.

Moreover, this engagement was arranged when they were young.

However, this is somewhat unfair to the Underworld Palace, which can only passively bear the consequences.

Therefore, there are some other cases, such as a few hundred years ago, when the elder brother in the royal family defeated his younger brother, but the younger sister in the Netherworld Palace defeated her elder sister.

Therefore, this so-called engagement can be directly changed. In their current situation, Zhu Zhuqing may become Davis's fiancée.

As for the so-called feelings and such, they were simply ignored.

After all, whether it's the Star Luo Royal Family or the Netherworld Duke's Mansion, all they need is the most outstanding pair to inherit the positions of Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

Although this situation is generally rare, since the two people who have entered into a marriage will usually present a united front, there have indeed been precedents for it.

So when Dai Mubai realized that Zhu Zhuqing actually had such thoughts, his chest began to heave violently, the veins on his forehead bulged, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing, speaking through gritted teeth.

"You dare!"

You have to understand that Dai Mubai has long regarded Zhu Zhuqing as his woman, so how could he possibly tolerate this situation?

However, Zhu Zhuqing had already lost the desire to communicate with Dai Mubai and simply turned and left.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai really wanted to go up and forcibly keep the other party there, but Tang San and Xiao Wu happened to return at that moment.

He was in a bad position at that moment and decided not to attack Zhu Zhuqing.

So Dai Mubai could only stand there in a fit of impotent rage after they left, before turning around and leaving.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, paid no further attention to Dai Mubai after returning home.

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, I felt a slight wavering in my heart for the first time.

During the days she was at Shrek Academy, although Dai Mubai behaved well in front of her and seemed to be diligently cultivating,

But after today's conversation, Zhu Zhuqing realized that Dai Mubai was just putting on an act for himself.

Because Dai Mubai never once mentioned facing his brother Davis in his words.

Despite Zhu Zhuqing's constant talk of becoming stronger, she knew in her heart that her older sister, Zhu Zhuyun, was not only much older than her, but also just as talented.

Furthermore, she has a fairly good relationship with Dai Mubai's brother, Davis, which means that if she wants to change her fate, she may have to face both Davis and Zhu Zhuyun at the same time.

This made Zhu Zhuqing feel a little desperate, but at the same time, a figure couldn't help but appear in her mind.

He was an all-powerful young swordsman who not only saved him twice but also promised that he could come to him if he needed anything.

However, Zhu Zhuqing quickly dismissed this thought from her mind, not to mention that there was already someone else by her side.

Just considering his own background, with the Star Luo royal family and the Netherworld Duke's Mansion, unless he is the current Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, there is no possibility that he would help him.

Therefore, at present, Zhu Zhuqing still does not want to involve Jiang Li in his destiny.

The following day, when Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the training square, their mission was the same as the day before: to go to Soto City.

However, because of the conflict she had with Dai Mubai the day before, he did not continue forward.

Instead, she and Ma Hongjun were talking about romantic matters in the back, which made Zhu Zhuqing even more disappointed in Dai Mubai, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace to leave.

Upon seeing this, Ma Hongjun inadvertently glanced at Dai Mubai.

After all, he was aware of the special relationship between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, so after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but speak up.

"Brother Dai, what's going on between you and your wife? Bringing me in front of him to talk about this is just adding fuel to the fire!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai smiled dismissively.

You should know that Zhu Zhuqing's words yesterday did not inspire his fighting spirit at all.

Instead, people believe that Zhu Zhuqing plans to defeat her sister and then marry her brother Davis.

Having understood the other person's feelings, how could he possibly continue to be a sycophant?

Dai Mubai then snorted coldly.

"I treat them like treasures, but they treat me like a bootlicker. I'm not going to lick them anymore."

Seeing Dai Mubai's attitude, Ma Hongjun continued to talk to Dai Mubai about their favorite romantic matters.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was in front, Dai Mubai's voice was quite loud, and she heard all of his words. Jiang Li's image reappeared in her mind.

However, Jiang Li, the person involved, is still in seclusion at this moment.
