Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 160 Dai Mubai in a daze

"That's right, what Tang San said is true. I am Dai Mubai, the prince of the Star Luo Empire."

Dai Mubai stepped forward and admitted his identity, "And Zhu Zhuqing is my fiancée..."

Ma Hongjun was shocked: "Brother Dai, are you really a prince?"

Oscar was also incredulous: "No wonder you're so rich, you can always find different twins."

Mu Tian remained silent, simply observing the situation quietly like a nobody.

Zhu Zhuqing's face darkened, and she said, "I have never acknowledged him as my future husband. I have hardly ever seen him since I was a child. I was only considered his fiancée because my Netherworld Cat and his White Tiger were connected and I could use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

For Zhu Zhuqing, there was no affection between him and Dai Mubai; they only shared common interests.

In the original novel, Zhu Zhuqing's attitude towards Dai Mubai changed after their martial souls merged.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill allows two people to appreciate each other. Unless they are siblings born of the same sex or of the same sex, there is a high probability that a man and a woman can get together.

This is also why Tang San and Huo Wu had a spiritual connection, but never thought of trying it out—they didn't want to be influenced by the so-called "spirit fusion."

However, martial soul fusion skills are indeed very rare. Even the fusion between the White Tiger and the Netherworld Cat is not possible for every White Tiger martial soul to fuse with every Netherworld Cat martial soul.

Otherwise, the Dai and Zhu families of the Star Luo Empire would only need to reproduce to a large extent, and then men and women could use the Spirit Fusion Technique, which would make even the Spirit Hall admit defeat.

"Zhu Zhuqing, no matter what, I'm still your fiancé." Dai Mubai's tone turned serious, unmoved by Zhu Zhuqing's rebuttal. "Do you think I don't want to defeat my elder brother?"

"Before I came to you, did you even bother to cultivate your skills?" Zhu Zhuqing said coldly. "Seeking pleasure with women is what you usually do."

"What's wrong with a man having three wives and four concubines?" Dai Mubai was also furious. He hadn't yet engaged in a spirit fusion with Zhu Zhuqing, and although there was a connection between them, it wasn't strong. Therefore, Dai Mubai's patience with her was very limited.

"No problem, but your self-destructive behavior makes me lose all hope." Zhu Zhuqing's words were uncompromising.

"Alright, if you want to argue, go outside. Don't embarrass yourselves in front of others." Flander stopped the two, his eyes full of helplessness. Shrek Academy only accepts monsters, not trash. If there is a chance to rebuild it in the future, some children with problematic identities cannot be taken in again, otherwise there will be endless trouble.

"I'm sorry, Dean Flander, it's getting late, and I'm planning to take the children to the Star Luo Empire."

Qin Ming really wanted Shrek Academy's teachers and students to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he was even willing to leave the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for it if Flander said the word. However, he was currently the leader of the Heaven Dou team visiting the Star Luo Royal Academy and had to be responsible for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. "Dean, I can ask the members of the Star Luo Royal Team on behalf of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to see what they think."

"I have another idea," Tang San suggested. "We can have Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing come with us to the Star Luo Empire to take a look."

"What? I'm not going back!" Dai Mubai immediately refused. He had finally managed to escape, and if he went back, his good older brother would definitely keep a closer eye on him, and then he would really have no hope of surviving.

Staying here means that even if I lose the competition in the end, I will still have the opportunity to find a remote town deep in the mountains, live in anonymity, and survive.

The Douluo Continent is so vast that as long as he doesn't return to the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo royal family can't act too recklessly within the Heaven Dou territory. If he encounters people who come to hunt him down, he also has a chance to fight back.

"How should I put it? Perhaps I know more about the selection of the crown prince and emperor of the Star Luo Empire than you, prince."

Tang San pushed up the detection glasses on his nose. "If your good brother really wanted to kill you, it would be a miracle that you were able to escape from the Star Luo Empire."

"At least, when you go back, your older brother will at most mock you, but he won't cripple you, and you won't lack cultivation resources."

"If you stay here, the gap between you and your elder brother will only widen... Right now, you give me the impression that you don't even have the courage to face your elder brother. Even with the help of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and our power, what kind of achievements can you possibly have in the future?"

Tang San's explanation convinced Huo Wu, Yu Tianheng agreed, and even Qin Ming thought it made sense.

If Dai Mubai doesn't even have the courage to face Davis, what kind of competition is he talking about? He should just find a place to live in seclusion. He's not suited to be a Soul Master who can stand alone, let alone a ruler of a country.

On Shrek Academy's side, Flander hadn't expected that Dai Mubai would be so afraid of his older brother that he didn't even dare to go back.

He had heard about the competition for the throne of the Star Luo Empire before. Although it was cruel, it was definitely not for the purpose of killing the weak. Dai Mubai's current behavior was like that of a sick cat that had been scared out of its wits. He did not have the courage to confront Davis head-on.

"I can go to the Star Luo Empire with you, but you have to promise that my sister won't kill me." Zhu Zhuqing made up her mind and prepared to go back to the Star Luo Empire with Tang San and the others.

At least, she had the courage to face her sister.

"Why do you think your sister wants to kill you? Could it be that she's disliked you since you were little?" Tang San asked.

"No, before I was six, my sister was very good to me. But after she awakened her martial soul, she developed a martial soul connection with Dai Mubai, and her attitude towards me became worse. Over the past five or six years, her attitude has gotten worse and worse. I didn't understand the reason until I was nine years old—she was afraid that I would take away her future position as empress."

Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth secretly, "Dai Mubai can't be relied on. I can only rely on myself now."

Dai Mubai's expression was unpleasant, but at this moment, he couldn't refute anything.

Seeing Dai Mubai remain silent, Zhu Zhuqing looked utterly dejected... She had only said those things to provoke him, but his current indifferent attitude truly disappointed her.

He has no chance of beating Davis!

I can't continue associating with Dai Mubai; I have to think of another way...

···

In the end, only Zhu Zhuqing accompanied the Heavenly Dou Royal Family to the Star Luo Empire. Dai Mubai ultimately lacked the decisiveness and courage to board the carriage, and could only stand outside Notting City watching Qin Ming lead the royal carriage away.

"Mu Bai, you really need to think carefully about what you're cultivating for," Flander said seriously to Dai Mu Bai. "I only realized today that you're a bit out of it."

"I will be more careful in the future, Dean," Dai Mubai said in a deep voice.

"Sigh~"

Flander sighed inwardly, knowing that Dai Mubai hadn't taken his words to heart and that he might still be half-hearted when cultivating in the future.

"Teacher, there's no need to be so sad. Look on the bright side, we don't have to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Zhu Zhuqing hunt soul beasts anymore." Ma Hongjun spoke without thinking.

"What the hell did I do to take you as my disciple?" Flander was furious. He picked up Ma Hongjun and headed towards Shrek Academy, ready to teach the fat kid a lesson.

"Dean, I was wrong! I'm not gay!"

"I'm not doing it either!"

It's not a problem for men to have three wives and four concubines...

These words were actually spoken by Zhu Zhuqing in the original work. Born into the royal family, she was certainly used to such things and wouldn't care too much about how many wives and concubines a man had. She just resented Dai Mubai for not being assertive enough. Here, we've slightly changed it so that Dai Mubai says it, which isn't really a big problem.

By the way, regarding Austin, some people say that he, like Tang San in the original work, is also a virgin. But in reality, the original work describes him as a dissolute guy who only restrained himself after he took a liking to Ning Rongrong. For details, please refer to Chapter 579 of the original work, "Oscar's Lewd Seventh Soul Skill." He and Dai Mubai exposed each other's secrets, and he didn't play any more elaborate games than Dai Mubai.

Note--

The character list has been updated. In the author's eyes, Old Jack, Su Yuntao, Matthew, and others are also protagonists in their own lives, so the label "male protagonist" has been added.
