Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 20 Dai Mubai Feels Like He's Being Cuckolded

Upon hearing Lin Mu's suggestion, Dai Mubai immediately looked at Oscar and the other two.

Oscar, needless to say, although not as destitute as Ma Hongjun, was not much better off. A thousand gold soul coins was an astronomical figure for him, let alone ten thousand.

Zhu Zhuqing was in a similar situation to herself; she probably didn't have much money left either, and in the end, she only had Ning Rongrong left.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the richest sect in the world, bar none. If anyone could pull out 10,000 gold soul coins, it would only be Ning Rongrong.

Seeing Dai Mubai's gaze, Ning Rongrong decisively refused, "Don't even think about it, I can't lend it to you."

Seeing Ning Rongrong's ruthlessness, Dai Mubai's face turned ashen, and he said, word by word, "Ning Rongrong, I am your classmate."

"Classmate? Why didn't you say this when you were trying to attack me before?"

Despite Dai Mubai's angry glare, Ning Rongrong remained unyielding.

Seeing the two arguing, Lin Mu had no interest and his gaze inadvertently fell on Zhu Zhuqing, who was a little further away.

Her delicate face was unusually aloof, and her tight leather clothes outlined her stunning curves, especially her almost bursting breasts, which were simply unbelievable.

"Isn't she under twelve years old?"

Lin Mu was shocked. He couldn't even imagine what would happen a few years from now.

Noticing the senior's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously straightened her back slightly and took the initiative to meet his eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

Seeing those incredibly deep eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable feeling welled up inside her, causing a faint blush to rise uncontrollably on her usually cold and pretty face.

This fleeting interaction was witnessed by Dai Mubai, and his heart tightened immediately.

Could it be that this senior is interested in Zhu Zhuqing?
It's not impossible, after all, this senior looks extremely young, at most twenty-four or twenty-five years old, so it wouldn't be strange if he liked someone like Zhu Zhuqing.

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai felt a surge of anger rush to his head, and jealousy and humiliation gnawed at his heart like venomous snakes.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, but he didn't dare to utter a single question. He could only suppress his anger and frustration deep inside, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

If he could come up with 10,000 gold soul coins, he would want to leave this godforsaken place right now.

"Senior, as you can see, her unwillingness to lend money is not because I don't want to compensate you."

When Dai Mubai said this, he intentionally or unintentionally attributed part of the reason to Ning Rongrong, as if he wanted Lin Mu to cause trouble for Ning Rongrong.

If Lin Mu makes a move against Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will definitely not let him off the hook.

How could this little scheme possibly fool Lin Mu? Even Ning Rongrong saw through it. She quickly walked over, a confident and sweet smile on her face, and said:

“Senior, I am willing to give you 10,000 gold soul coins, but not to help him compensate; it is a personal gift from me.”

Hearing this, Lin Mu couldn't help but look at Ning Rongrong with new respect. Although she had some personality issues, as the heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she was not weak in terms of ability.

"Forget about giving it away; there's no such thing as a free lunch."

Lin Mu refused without even thinking. Although 10,000 gold soul coins was a lot of money, he didn't want to owe someone a favor.

After being rejected to her face, Ning Rongrong's smile froze instantly. She hadn't expected the other party to reject her so decisively, without even considering it.

Could it be that this senior is not a greedy person?
She had originally thought that if this senior accepted the ten thousand gold soul coins, she would take the opportunity to recruit him into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As it turns out, the idea was wonderful, but the reality was harsh.

After refusing Ning Rongrong's gift, Lin Mu grabbed Dai Mubai by the neck and forcibly lifted him up.

"Cough cough. Senior, spare my life!" Dai Mubai did not expect this senior to be so unpredictable, resorting to violence at the slightest provocation.

Now that his life is in the other party's hands, he has no choice but to stop playing any tricks.

Just as Dai Mubai was about to lose his breath, Lin Mu threw him to the ground with a thud. The intense pain and suffocation almost made him faint.

"Take out all the gold soul coins you have on you."

Lin Mu's eyes showed no sympathy, and he spoke in a way that brooked no argument.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai endured the pain and took out all the gold soul coins from his storage soul tool, which amounted to about a thousand gold soul coins.

There's also a black card, but it's unclear how much money is deposited in it.

That wasn't all. Lin Mu kicked Ma Hongjun, who was pretending to be dead, again. "If you keep pretending to be dead, I don't mind sending you down there."

Ma Hongjun was so frightened that his whole body trembled. Ignoring the pain, he sprang up from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he took out all his savings, which amounted to less than one hundred gold soul coins. He was practically penniless, no wonder he could only go to the lowest-class brothels.

Seeing that Ma Hongjun had only taken out so little, Dai Mubai was immediately furious.

This is outrageous!

"Together, it's three thousand gold soul coins for you. I'll come back to you for the remaining seven thousand gold soul coins later."

"Senior, I have four thousand in my black card."

Dai Mubai was about to say that he had more than that in his card, but seeing the other party's cold eyes, he could only swallow his words.

Forget it, as long as the green hills remain, there's always hope for a future.

At worst, we'll just hide from now on; we don't believe this person can find them.

Just then, Zhao Wuji finally climbed out of the pit. As a Soul Saint, his recovery ability was definitely not weak.

Despite his severe injuries, Zhao Wuji staggered into the hotel.

Oscar quickly helped him up, then made two super-healing sausages and fed them to Zhao Wuji.

With these two super-restorative sausages, Zhao Wuji managed to recover some of his energy.

"Your Majesty, this is all my savings, as compensation to your disciple."

Zhao Wuji took out a black card and handed it to Lin Mu.

He had been in the world of Soul Masters for decades and had seen all sorts of storms, but the young powerhouse before him completely overturned his understanding.

So young, yet possessing strength comparable to a Title Douluo, this is beyond what the word "genius" can describe.

Such a powerful being is not someone they can afford to provoke. They must quell the other party's anger, or there will be endless trouble.

"Let's call it even this time."

Lin Mu took the black card from Zhao Wuji, glanced at him, and said indifferently, "Remember to keep your eyes open in the future. Don't think that you can act recklessly just because you have the cultivation of a Soul Saint."

After saying that, Lin Mu turned and left, taking Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had almost recovered, to the second floor.

Watching their departing figures, Zhu Zhuqing stood quietly in place, her cold eyes filled with turbulent thoughts, lost in her own reflections.
