Just as Xiaowu and Tang San had entered the city gate and were looking for a place to stay, Ye Qiu had just woken up not long ago.
He was planning to go out to find food and, while he was at it, see if he could find Xiaowu or some other key characters.
He took Ayin with him.
After casually finding a small shop and satisfying his appetite, Ye Qiu began to wander around the streets.
Without Ayin chattering in his ear, he actually felt a bit unaccustomed.
Tomorrow was the day for Shrek Academy registration.
According to the original plot, Tang San and Dai Mubai would have a chance encounter at the Rose Hotel.
Ye Qiu felt that even with his intervention, Xiaowu's eyes and heart were already filled with him.
That silly rabbit would most likely still walk in.
After all, Xiaowu had only been in human form for just over ten years and hadn't had much exposure to these things.
However, Ye Qiu wasn't too worried about her.
Xiaowu's cultivation was already at the Soul Elder level, and she possessed soul skills like Instant Shift, especially the Invincible Golden Body.
If Dai Mubai dared to speak rudely, he would inevitably receive a good beating.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu changed direction, no longer wandering, and headed towards the Rose Hotel.
If he was lucky, he might even get to see Dai Mubai getting beaten up.
...
Rose Hotel.
As soon as Xiaowu entered, she sensed that something was off here.
With Tang San present, the atmosphere the hotel created, especially the ambiguous looks from the front desk attendant, made Xiaowu feel very uncomfortable.
She felt that this kind of place should have been visited with Ye Qiu.
Upon learning that the hotel only had one room, Xiaowu decisively chose to leave.
She hadn't forgotten any of Ye Qiu's words.
Furthermore, in this situation, even without Ye Qiu's instructions, she wouldn't share a room with another male.
Tang San was helpless.
Of course, he didn't dare to say anything more and could only follow Xiaowu's departing steps.
However, just as Xiaowu and Tang San were about to leave and walk out the door, they were blocked by someone.
It was a man with blond hair and unusual eyes, not old, perhaps fifteen or sixteen, wearing white and gold fitted clothes.
His long golden hair hung straight down to his waist, and his eyes had strange double pupils.
He was embracing a pair of twins, one on each side.
The twins also looked only eighteen or nineteen, heavily made up, with good figures, but their temperament was quite vulgar.
Dai Mubai saw the scene of Xiaowu about to leave with Tang San.
Seeing Xiaowu's appearance, his mouth twisted, and he let out a few wicked laughs, his words and actions very frivolous.
Laughing loudly, he shouted towards Tang San: "Haha... Little brother, isn't it a shame to let such high-quality resources run away like this?"
Tang San frowned, wanting to explain, but Xiaowu didn't have that much time to listen to such nonsense.
Her mind was currently filled with: What if Ye Qiu saw her here?! Would Ye Qiu misunderstand her?!
She felt very uncomfortable being stared at by the Dai Mubai in front of her.
A hint of disgust appeared in Xiaowu's eyes.
She coldly said without politeness: "What are you?! Hurry up and get lost for Sister Xiaowu!"
"Haha..."
Dai Mubai was stunned for a moment, then laughed even harder.
His actions with his hands also became bolder; the twin sisters in his arms twisted their bodies, looking seductive, yet shamelessly raising their heads and chests.
Greed flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, and he said mockingly: "Didn't expect you to be a little firecracker. Looks like I'm lucky. Little girl, do you want to..."
"Good dogs don't block the way! Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Xiaowu frowned, and before Dai Mubai could finish speaking, she coldly shouted again.
She was already unhappy because she had mistakenly entered this place, and the look in the other person's eyes made her even more disgusted.
What kind of 'resources'? Sister Xiaowu is not!
Even if she were, she would only be Ye Qiu's private collection! The kind he'd hold in his hands, afraid of dropping.
Tang San watched this scene.
He could sense that Dai Mubai was not simple and wanted to warn Xiaowu not to be impulsive, but he also knew that his words were completely ineffective.
He could only watch quietly from the side.
Moreover, the guy opposite wasn't much older, and Xiaowu's Soul Elder cultivation was definitely not a problem.
"Pfft haha..."
Tang San knew Xiaowu's strength, but others didn't.
As soon as Xiaowu's words fell, the twin sisters laughed continuously as if they had heard a joke.
Even if Dai Mubai was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and often had to resort to talking, he was generous with money.
Therefore, the two sisters were willing to cooperate and shout a few times.
Perhaps Dai Mubai's skills and patience weren't great, but he was undoubtedly a genius soul master.
This was also the reason why the two sisters were willing to play along.
They glanced at Xiaowu disdainfully, continued to sway their bodies to tease Dai Mubai, their eyes full of flirtatious charm and continuous laughter.
Hearing Xiaowu's words, Dai Mubai's smile also became cold.
His temper wasn't very good; he was warlike and easily angered. Even towards women, he wouldn't be polite!
Looking at Xiaowu, he sneered: "Little girl... you really are a newborn calf that isn't afraid of tigers! You actually want to fight me. Then I'll grant your wish! If you beat me, I'll immediately move aside. If you lose, you'll have to pay the price for cursing me!"
As he spoke, Dai Mubai looked at Xiaowu again, a hint of evil light appearing in his eyes.
If Xiaowu lost, what would happen was self-evident.
The twin sisters beside him gave Dai Mubai a silly smile, released his arms, and twisted their hips as they stood to the side.
"Fight is fight! Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
Having been the 'big sister' at Nuoding Academy for several years, Xiaowu was only afraid of making Ye Qiu angry; other things didn't scare her at all.
She immediately made up her mind to give Dai Mubai a good lesson.
Just as Xiaowu was about to make a move, Tang San suddenly stood beside her, his eyes slightly narrowed, somewhat wary.
That damnable sense of responsibility as a man made Tang San feel that he should still show some initiative at this time.
"Xiaowu, why don't I do it?"
"No need. Sister Xiaowu wants to do it herself. You stand to the side for me."
Xiaowu waved her hand.
How could she borrow someone else's hand for something like fighting? She couldn't ask for anything more than to be able to vent by fighting!
The two months Ye Qiu was away, she was terribly bored, plus the frustration she just felt, added another layer of buff!
"Heh heh... No need to argue, you can come together too. I can handle it!"
Dai Mubai sneered, beckoned to them, his eyes contemptuous and indifferent, with a hint of lazy fighting intent.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Tang San's eyes were strange, and there was some pity in his gaze as he looked at him.
"Hmph! You don't even draft your boasts! If I don't beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the ground, then I'm not Sister Xiaowu!"
Xiaowu snorted coldly, put her hands on her hips, and stood beautifully opposite Dai Mubai, full of confidence in this fight.
"Young Master Dai, Young Master Dai, please be merciful! Young Master Dai..."
At this moment, the hotel manager finally came upon hearing the commotion, his face full of anxiety.
He pleaded: "Young Master Dai, for my sake, why don't we just let it go? My small shop can't withstand the trouble from you all. Peace is precious!"
"Stop the nonsense! All losses are on me!"
Dai Mubai pushed the manager aside.
He was looking forward to enjoying himself after the fight; how could he easily let this matter pass?
