章 38: Chapter 38: Rivals Meet
"Sister Zhuqing, why keep such a scoundrel around? Just kick him to the curb!" Ning Rongrong huffed in frustration.
"Exactly, someone as immoral as Dai Mubai isn't worth your anger," Zhou Chen gently consoled Zhu Zhuqing, his voice exceptionally soft.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's anger only intensified upon hearing this. Her grip on the counter tightened, leaving deep impressions on its surface!
The attendant watching this scene couldn't help but admire Zhou Chen. Was that really consolation? It seemed more like fanning the flames!
This Mr. Mu was quite adept at stealing another's girlfriend. Who knows what Dai Mubai would do if he found out his girlfriend was being wooed by someone else.
Not that it concerned him; he was just there to make money.
Noticing the attendant's peculiar gaze, Zhou Chen's spatial bracelet glowed, and a small pouch filled with gold soul coins appeared in his hand.
"Consider it a tip," Zhou Chen smiled kindly, never stingy with rewards for those who helped him.
"Thank you, thank you, sir!" The attendant exclaimed, elated upon receiving the pouch.
It contained more than five years' worth of his salary!
"Here's your room key, on the top floor," the attendant said, holding the black key card respectfully above his head.
"Wow, let's hurry up!" Ning Rongrong couldn't contain her excitement, snatching the key card and dragging Zhu Zhuqing with her as they dashed upstairs.
"Ah, to be carefree like that," Zhou Chen mused wistfully. He didn't follow them immediately but instead tapped his fingers on the counter and asked, "Have you hosted a young man named Tang San recently?"
"One moment, let me check," the attendant replied, eager to comply with his generous patron, and began flipping through the registry.
"Hmm... No, there hasn't been anyone by that name in the past ten days," the attendant said, glancing up. "Are they friends of yours? I can watch for them if they come."
"Please do," Zhou Chen nodded, realizing Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had left two days earlier, were behind them.
It made sense since Tang San and Xiao Wu were traveling on foot, while Zhou Chen had driven a carriage for the latter part of the journey, making his travel faster.
Still, even if Tang San wasn't as quick, he should arrive within a day or two.
With this in mind, Zhou Chen turned and headed upstairs...

The next day, around noon.
The three, having stayed up all night, were sound asleep in their rooms.
Suddenly, a persistent rumble and shouts from below roused them all.
"What's going on? Is there a fight?" Ning Rongrong sat up in bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she wandered out of her bedroom, mumbling groggily.
"It sounds like it's coming from downstairs," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, opening the door to her adjacent room.
She seemed to have forgotten yesterday's sorrow.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chen, already in the living room, used his Heavenly Sight and Hearing technique to observe the fight two floors below.
"They've finally arrived..." Zhou Chen murmured, withdrawing his gaze and turning to Zhu Zhuqing. "There's a duel downstairs between soul masters. Shall we take a look?"
"Yes, let's!" Ning Rongrong leaped from her bed, eager to witness the excitement.
"Alright," Zhu Zhuqing agreed with a nod.
The three quickly descended the stairs.

In the first-floor lobby of the Rose Hotel, fierce winds whipped through the air, and soul power energy rippled outward, leaving marks on the floor and walls. Many fragile decorations lay shattered, the lobby in disarray.
In the center, two figures clashed rapidly, their movements too quick to follow.
Nearby, a beautiful girl with a scorpion braid, dressed in pink, watched the fight anxiously, her lips tightly pressed together.
Finally, the battle concluded.
One of the youths, wearing light blue attire with a jade belt around his waist, stood with a gentle smile, exuding warmth.
The other man, except for his head, was tightly bound by deep blue Blue Silver Grass, unable to move.
This man was tall, broad-shouldered, and handsome, with long golden hair cascading down his back—a striking figure. Most notably, he had double pupils in his eyes, radiating a cold, wicked light!
"Well done, Blue Silver Grass! Tang San, if we both only had two rings, I'd have lost. But unfortunately, I, Dai Mubai, am a three-ring Soul Elder!"
As he spoke, Dai Mubai's voice turned cold, "White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
In an instant, the purple millennium soul ring behind Dai Mubai glowed brilliantly.
His evil eyes turned blood-red, his body swelled, and the Blue Silver Grass binding him exploded into powder!
Tang San and Xiao Wu stood frozen in shock.
Tang San gasped, "Is this the power of a millennium soul ring?"
"Indeed. My White Tiger Vajra Transformation doubles all my abilities. With my thirty-seventh level soul power, you're no match for me!" Dai Mubai sneered.
At that moment, his muscles grotesquely bulged, black stripes resembling tiger fur appearing on his skin. Most remarkably, his entire body seemed to be coated in a golden sheen!
Hearing this, Tang San didn't argue, aware of the gap between them.
"Hmph, just a flashy white tiger, bringing twins along—who doesn't know what he's up to?" Xiao Wu grumbled indignantly.
"What did you say?" Dai Mubai's evil eyes flared with anger, but he noticed the pair turning to greet someone.
"Brother Chen, you're here too?" Tang San exclaimed, surprised to see Zhou Chen descending the stairs. He remembered Brother Chen saying he wouldn't be coming to Shrek Academy!
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up upon seeing Zhou Chen, "Brother Chen, help us! This Dai Mubai is trying to bully us with his older age and higher level by stealing our reserved room!"
"Calling for backup, are we?" Dai Mubai sneered disdainfully, turning to look, only to freeze!
A handsome youth, as elegant as a celestial, stood smiling at him.
Of course, this wasn't the reason for Dai Mubai's shock. What truly stunned him was the beautiful yet cold girl standing beside the handsome youth.
"Zhu... Zhuqing?"
