Capítulo 71: Outburst
Dai Mubai and Tang San hurriedly left the training grounds and rushed back to the academy.
As the Shrek group returned to the academy and approached the main gate, they ran into Zhu Zhuqing and Chen Xuan.
As for Chen Yiyi, he had already dropped his sister off at their residence upon returning to Heaven Dou City.
Seeing Dai Mubai's dark, stormy expression, Chen Xuan was taken aback, puzzled by the intensity of his anger. Why is he so furious? Chen Xuan observed carefully and noticed that soul power was leaking from Dai Mubai's body, clearly showing his extreme anger.
Dai Mubai strode forward with an intense demeanor, his tiger-like eyes glowing with a cold, golden light as he stared directly at them.
"Is he coming at me?" Chen Xuan thought to himself. When Dai Mubai's gaze fell on him, he could feel the murderous intent, as though Dai Mubai wanted to tear him apart.
Zhu Zhuqing, however, remained calm. Her tall, slender figure moved gracefully as she continued walking toward the academy, ignoring Dai Mubai completely.
Dai Mubai's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water, his eyes sharp and filled with malice, as if ready to devour someone.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing, ever cold and indifferent, showed no sign of acknowledgment and walked past him without a word.
Chen Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he stayed where he was. He didn't dare follow after Zhu Zhuqing. The way Dai Mubai was looking at him was terrifying, and truth be told, Chen Xuan felt a little guilty.
"Zhu Zhuqing, is this your attitude?" Dai Mubai's voice was hoarse, and his tiger eyes flashed with a cold gleam. He was trying hard to control himself, barely holding back from lashing out.
The rest of the Shrek group remained silent, watching the unfolding drama.
Zhu Zhuqing's brows furrowed slightly, clearly displeased, but she still stopped in her tracks. From her perspective, after days of life-or-death struggles that nearly cost her life, she was exhausted. Now, returning only to face interrogation, with such a tense scene, it was the last thing she wanted.
"Zhuqing, what do you mean by this? Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Dai Mubai's expression was still dark, his tiger eyes glinting ominously.
He was filled with rage. After everything that had happened, how could she still act like nothing was wrong?
"What explanation do you want?" Zhu Zhuqing's face remained emotionless as she turned to look at him, her beautiful eyes cold and distant.
Dai Mubai laughed—a laugh filled with bitterness and madness. He couldn't believe that after betraying him, she could still stand there, acting righteous. It made him even angrier.
He scoffed, his laughter filled with sarcasm, and said, "You know very well what you've done. Do I need to spell it out? The only one who'll be humiliated in the end is you."
Dai Mubai was completely enraged. Anyone else who had done something so dishonorable would at least show some guilt. But Zhu Zhuqing was acting as though nothing had happened.
At first, he had wanted to save her some face, knowing that if this issue blew up, it would be disgraceful for both of them. But now, it was clear that she didn't care at all, so why should he?
"I don't know what you're talking about," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, her demeanor still icy and unaffected by his accusations. She had nothing to hide. After all, during her recent mission, nothing inappropriate had happened. No matter what Dai Mubai implied, she had a clear conscience.
Her words made the atmosphere even more tense, as if an explosion could happen at any moment.
"Zhu Zhuqing, I can't believe you're this kind of person. I, Dai Mubai, truly misjudged you." Dai Mubai suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter wild and unrestrained, filled with mockery aimed at himself.
The Shrek group watched as Dai Mubai's behavior became more and more erratic. Fatty Ma Hongjun and Oscar instinctively took a few steps back, startled by his crazed demeanor.
Zhu Zhuqing's brow furrowed further. Her patience was wearing thin.
"You're full of yourself," she said coldly, her gaze carrying a hint of sarcasm.
But to Dai Mubai, her words only seemed like she was playing dumb, trying to avoid the reality of the situation. The truth was plain to see.
A young man and woman traveling together, alone for days, would surely lead to something happening between them—it was practically like a honeymoon. Dai Mubai had seen too much in his years to believe otherwise. The idea that Chen Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing had shared such a journey without anything happening was laughable to him.
He hadn't wanted to make this a big issue. After all, it was a private matter. But now, his fiancée was pretending nothing had happened, showing no remorse. To him, this was nothing short of a provocation—a blatant insult.
At that moment, Dai Mubai decided to hold nothing back. If Zhu Zhuqing had no loyalty to him, why should he show any restraint?
Suddenly, his face darkened even more, and he turned his gaze toward Chen Xuan, speaking in a cold voice, "Chen Xuan, you were with Zhu Zhuqing the past few days, weren't you?"
Chen Xuan felt a headache coming on. He had known this confrontation was inevitable, but just as he was about to explain, Zhu Zhuqing spoke first.
"So what if I was? What does that have to do with you?" Zhu Zhuqing's tone was cold, and she walked over to stand beside Chen Xuan, her long legs moving gracefully.
Her words made Dai Mubai's face even darker, and his fists clenched tighter.
What enraged him more was Zhu Zhuqing's behavior—she was clearly protecting Chen Xuan. The sight of it made his blood boil with rage. As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he had never been humiliated like this.
"Good! Very good! Zhu Zhuqing, you have no shame!" Dai Mubai roared, his pent-up fury finally exploding.
At that moment, he no longer held back. Four spirit rings instantly appeared, and golden soul power surged into the sky, forming a white tiger projection above him.
His power was overwhelming, his soul force fierce. His eyes shone with killing intent, directed at Chen Xuan, who stood behind Zhu Zhuqing.
"Chen Xuan! I thought we were brothers, but you go and steal my woman! Some brother you are!"
Chen Xuan felt completely helpless. He quickly tried to explain, "Calm down! You're misunderstanding everything! There's nothing going on between me and Zhuqing!"
He was utterly frustrated. After barely surviving an attack by a Soul Emperor, he had returned to Shrek Academy only to face this. It felt like the universe was playing a cruel joke on him.
But no matter how much he tried to explain, the enraged Dai Mubai wouldn't listen. Blinded by fury, Dai Mubai was already out of control.
The other Shrek members exchanged glances and took a few steps back, none of them intending to step in.
Even the young girl Jiangzhu thought that Chen Xuan had crossed a line. Everyone in the academy knew that Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were a couple, even if they didn't have much of a relationship. Chen Xuan's actions, at best, made him a third wheel. At worst, he was a homewrecker—the kind of person everyone despised.
Dai Mubai had completely lost it, his killing intent seeping into the air. His second and third spirit rings glowed, preparing to unleash his attack, all of it amplified into his White Tiger Light Wave.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned, her face growing even colder. She took a few steps forward, placing herself between Chen Xuan and Dai Mubai, unwilling to let the man she had grown fond of get caught in the crossfire.
"Dai Mubai, haven't you caused enough trouble?" she said icily, her voice as cold as the harshest winter wind.
