The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 72 A Mistake Every Man in the World Makes

Li Xun continued on his way and soon arrived near Cao's Inn. He saw that the street was already packed with a dense crowd.

It was like a crowded wall of people.

Li Xun's curiosity was piqued, and he quickly stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to peer inside. However, the crowd in front of him was too dense, obstructing his view.

With no other option, he had to rely on his soul power to force his way into the crowd.

"Hehe, excuse me, excuse me."

"Hey beautiful, your... bun got squeezed out."

"Who's touching my butt? I'm a man!"

"."

Li Xun walked with his head down, struggling to squeeze through the crowd. But before he could even see what was going on, he heard a sleazy, slightly arrogant voice.

"Hehe, trying to gang up on the weak? Then the four of us will play with you two." Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw a chubby boy in red clothes, head held high, confronting Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

Li Xun glanced around, taking in the entire scene, and his eyes narrowed instantly.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun, along with Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, are confronting Zhu Zhuqing and her companion.

Their positioning was also quite interesting. Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were at the very front, while Tang San and Xiao Wu were two steps behind. Although they were also lined up in a row, they didn't really stand out much.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai had invited these people to help them.

"Interesting, he really doesn't get involved in anything bad." Li Xun chuckled, shook his head, and walked towards Zhu Zhuqing and the other person.

He only glanced at it, but he already had a general idea in his mind.

"Where did Grandpa Sword go?" Li Xun was afraid that something like this would happen while he was away, so he sent Ning Rongrong and the other two back to the sect to find Sword Douluo to escort them.

"You fatso, you're shameless! And what about your... pure and innocent self!" Ning Rongrong's face flushed red with emotion as she pointed at Tang San and the others.

"Were you bullied?" Li Xun quietly walked slowly to the two of them.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were startled and quickly looked behind them.

Then they saw a man with an extraordinary demeanor and handsome features, who was looking at them with a smile.

"Brother, you're back!" Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with amazement, then her face lit up with joy. She rushed to Li Xun's side and hugged his arm tightly. "Brother, if you hadn't come back, Zhu Qing and I would have been bullied to death by those four shameless scoundrels."

Ning Rongrong leaned close to Li Xun's ear and recounted the whole story, embellishing it with extra details.

"Brother, you have to avenge me! That Dai Mubai is incredibly wicked. If it weren't for Zhu Qing, I might not be seeing you again right now."

"Oh, and there's that sleazy fat guy and that hypocrite called Xiao San."

Li Xun smiled and used his free hand to rub Ning Rongrong's head before turning his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing.

"What Rongrong said was a bit exaggerated, but it was still fairly accurate." A hint of joy flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes as she tucked her hair behind her ear and then gracefully walked to Li Xun's side.

"Are you injured?" Li Xun frowned slightly as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was so close to him.

A slight smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's lips: "No, I was just having a momentary shortness of breath."

"Don't force yourself." Li Xun gently pulled Zhu Zhuqing's hand and used his soul power to probe into her body: "It's alright, it's not as outrageous as Rongrong said."

"He's just a Soul Venerable, how could I have been injured by him?" Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly. She didn't pull her hand back, letting Li Xun's soul power nourish her meridians.

She felt that Li Xun's ability to heal injuries seemed to have become stronger again. Even though his soul power had only circulated within her body once, Zhu Zhuqing felt much lighter.

"Hehe, Zhu Zhuqing, I was wondering why you didn't come to see me. So you really have hooked up with this kid." Li Xun's posture of having women on both sides really provoked Dai Mubai, and he was so angry at Zhu Zhuqing's "Soul Venerable" that he almost lost his mind.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, his double pupils were fixed on the three of them, and his soul power was about to erupt like a volcano.

"You've got some skills, kid!" Ma Hongjun said with a hint of jealousy and a sour feeling in his heart, pointing left and right: "You managed to hook up with Dai Mubai's fiancée while carrying a girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Ma Hongjun only dared to think about such things in his dreams.

"Mu Bai, calm down. It's not worth getting angry over such a shameless woman." Tang San's eyes were sharp. He had observed Li Xun's subtle details through his Purple Demon Eye and recognized Li Xun as the boy who had insulted his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

He had originally sealed the matter of his teacher away in the deepest part of his memory.

After all, although Yu Xiaogang was mentally provoked by Li Xun, he did not suffer any substantial physical harm. Although Tang San was angry and wanted to kill him at the time, he later felt it was not worth it.

He never expected that the boy from back then would reappear in front of him today and steal Dai Mubai's fiancée away.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

This person is always going against those around him. I was originally planning to let you go, but I didn't expect you to insist on going down the path of death. Tang San shook his head helplessly.

"Indecent? Zhu Qing and I are completely innocent now, unlike Dai Mubai who plays around so much, going to hotels every day for different kinds of entertainment."

Li Xun gave Tang San a deep look, then glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, whose lips were tightly pursed: "Besides, what right does this good-for-nothing who wastes his cultivation have to make Zhuqing fulfill her marriage contract with him?"

"Dai Mubai is right here now, so I think we should just call off this damn engagement."

Li Xun had considered this matter long ago. Zhu Zhuqing was, after all, a girl, and her reputation was quite important to her. Even if she didn't bring it up, Li Xun couldn't let her suffer for his own selfish desires.

He originally planned to resolve this matter when he passed through Shrek on his way back, but he didn't expect Ah Yin's hometown to be so far away, which delayed him a bit.

"You call me trash? I reached level thirty-seven in soul power at fifteen, and I'm a prince of Xingluo. If I inherit the throne, she'll be the empress." Dai Mubai laughed angrily, three soul rings flashing beneath his feet. "What makes you think you can compare to me?"

"Based on your current abilities and ambition, I estimate your chances of ascending the throne are zero, and not everyone covets the position of Empress." Li Xun glanced at Dai Mubai, then smiled and asked Zhu Zhuqing beside him, "Don't you agree, Zhuqing?"

Zhu Zhuqing didn't look at Dai Mubai once from beginning to end. When she heard Li Xun's question, she smiled and nodded: "I feel that this kind of life is pretty good."

"Miss Zhu Zhuqing, although Mu Bai was wrong to begin with, he only made a mistake that all men in the world would make. As long as you stay by Mu Bai's side and urge him on," Tang San walked to Dai Mu Bai's side with a smile and patted his shoulder, "I believe Mu Bai will definitely change."

"With your talents, if you can work together, reaching the pinnacle of power in Xingluo shouldn't be too difficult."

Although Tang San was unaware of the rules for inheriting the throne in Star Luo, he figured it was nothing more than the usual fratricidal conflict.

He already had some understanding of Dai Mubai's strength and aptitude, and with the equally amazing Zhu Zhuqing, he didn't think he could find a more outstanding successor among the Star Luo royal family's peers.

Moreover, his explanation wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface; it also aimed to sow discord between Li Xun and Zhu Zhuqing. After all, neither men nor women can escape the desire for power.

"Leaving aside the cruelty of the Star Luo royal family's power struggles, let's just talk about what you said: 'A mistake that all men in the world would make.'"

"Making this kind of mistake once or twice might be forgiven, but what's wrong with Dai Mubai making it every day?" Li Xun grinned, looking at Tang San. "Would you make a mistake like this?"
