Chapter 87: Chapter 87 - I'll kill you!
The news about the merger of the six academies was kept secret—even the seven selected students themselves were unaware.
This news would only be released a few days before the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition, to surprise the Blue Tyrant Academy.
In the meantime, the training volume for these students would be sharply increased by the various academies, hoping they could surpass the Blue Tyrant team in terms of soul power.
Blue Tyrant Academy still had no idea about this matter.
The only change was that Yu Xiaoxue, full of confusion, was promoted to the Blue Tyrant team, replacing Tai Long.
Yu Xiaowei, who had been missing for several days, also returned to the academy. Compared to before, nothing seemed strange.
When he saw Yu Xiaoxue, he still spoke and laughed with her, as if he hadn't taken that slap to the face seriously at all.
However, the more he acted that way, the more uneasy Yu Xiaoxue felt.
She always had the feeling that Yu Xiaowei wouldn't let her off so easily.
You know, based on what she heard from other students—
Yu Xiaowei was a petty person who never let grudges go. If you slapped him, he'd break your legs. How could he be so calm this time?
Did he really believe she was his sister?
...
During the days Yu Xiaowei was gone, Yu Xiaoxue stayed with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, trying to indirectly find out some of his secrets.
After all, Ning Rongrong was Yu Xiaowei's fiancée.
Logic suggested that the two of them were childhood sweethearts who had grown up together, and must know more than the other students.
But Yu Xiaoxue was disappointed.
From Ning Rongrong's mouth, Yu Xiaowei was the most perfect man in the entire Douluo Continent.
A flawless man.
For example, when Yu Xiaowei beat up nobles, it took on a different meaning when Ning Rongrong talked about it:
"Why would Brother Xiaowei hit anyone else but them? They must have done something terrible to make him angry."
"They deserved to be hit!"
Or when Yu Xiaowei signed a contract with Zhu Zhuqing to sell their bodies, Yu Xiaoxue made a snide remark:
"My brother wouldn't want a servant as his concubine, right?"
She originally thought that would anger Ning Rongrong and drive a wedge between them.
But to her surprise, Ning Rongrong actually pouted and said:
"Second Sister, how can you be as shallow as those stinky men?"
"Brother Xiaowei clearly worried about my safety after I was beaten, so he asked Zhuqing to protect me, a weak support-type soul master."
"And Zhuqing isn't my servant—she's my dear sister, okay!"
After a series of Q&As, Yu Xiaoxue felt her blood pressure rise.
She couldn't understand why a scoundrel who was said to be full of evil deeds by others seemed completely different when described by Ning Rongrong.
She was confused.
When the two girls chatted, they didn't avoid Zhu Zhuqing.
Hearing Ning Rongrong speak so admiringly of Yu Xiaowei, Zhu Zhuqing curled her lips.
In her heart, Yu Xiaowei was a demon.
When she was in the Silves Kingdom, he robbed her of her only valuable item and beat her.
Later in Soto City, he ruthlessly beat up Dai Mubai. Thinking back on it now, it was terrifying.
And at Lanba Academy, he coldly exposed her secret and made her sign a contract.
But in stark contrast—
Yu Xiaowei had also saved her twice and returned the soul guide he had robbed.
He even gave her a rare elixir so she could shed the fate of the Nether White Tiger.
With such extreme contrast,
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt she couldn't see through this man at all.
---
The next morning:
Zhu Zhuqing did her usual morning training.
Oscar came running, panting.
"Zhuqing, come with me. Boss Dai is here to see you."
"!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned cold.
Why had that bastard come to see her?
She instantly understood.
She didn't want to see Dai Mubai, but Oscar tried hard to persuade her.
"Zhuqing, Boss Dai said it's urgent, and he asked me to pass along a message—something about the Netherworld White Tiger."
Before Zhu Zhuqing could answer, Ning Rongrong arrived and lifted her chin toward the school gate.
"Go, Zhuqing, teach him a lesson."
"You belong to us now—not someone a bastard or a coward can dream of having!"
"Oh, and I'll call Jiangzhu, just in case he dies."
Watching Ning Rongrong bounce away, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel warmth in her heart.
She had shared her story with Ning Rongrong before.
Ning Rongrong was furious that Dai Mubai had abandoned his fiancée, spent his days drinking, and partying with twins.
There's no harm in comparison. Compared to Yu Xiaowei, Dai Mubai was just an ordinary scumbag and beast.
She used to regret not being able to teach Dai Mubai a lesson when Yu Xiaowei sent him to Tiandou Imperial Academy.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity came today.
Moments later—
Ning Rongrong returned with Jiangzhu and Yu Xiaoxue.
As soon as she arrived, she grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's arm and urged her.
"Zhuqing, let's go. Today, the four of us are going to teach that bastard a lesson."
"Yes! That scum needs to be taught a lesson, or he'll think us girls are easy to bully!"
Oscar heard something wrong in Ning Rongrong's words.
The four of them were going to beat someone up!
Seeing the four girls head for the gate together, Oscar hurried after them, praying in his heart:
"Don't fight, don't fight!"
When he got to the college gate, he saw a huge crowd gathered. Dai Mubai's angry shouting echoed, growing more agitated—he seemed to be quarreling with Zhu Zhuqing and the others.
"Zhuqing, why won't you come with me to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?"
"What did you say! You won't go?"
"Why not? Is this shabby academy more important than our lives?"
"What's wrong with you! Aren't you afraid of Zhu Zhuyun? Come with me! Come with me to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!"
"Who are you? It's none of your business how I discipline my wife!"
"Do you know who I am? I'm Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé! We've been engaged since childhood—she's mine!"
"Zhuo! Zhu Zhuqing, why won't you come with me!"
"Are you cheating with that Yu Xiaowei?!"
With a loud bang, Dai Mubai's shouting suddenly stopped.
Oscar desperately squeezed through the crowd and froze at the scene before him.
The always-cold Zhu Zhuqing had transformed under martial spirit possession.
Like an enraged tiger, she launched a crazed assault on Dai Mubai, who was in his White Tiger state.
His protective shield couldn't last a second before shattering, and his transformation speed couldn't keep up with Zhu Zhuqing.
Although Dai Mubai had higher soul power, the fight was completely one-sided.
Had Zhu Zhuqing truly intended to kill him, Dai Mubai might've been beaten to death.
In mere moments, Dai Mubai, who had been shouting seconds ago, lay on the ground, his body covered in gashes from red-golden tiger claws.
Among the crowd, Oscar spotted a familiar figure.
Ma Hongjun.
But at the moment, terrified by Zhu Zhuqing's ferocity, he quietly slipped away, completely ignoring the bloodied Dai Mubai.
"You!"
"Your martial soul!"
"How did your martial soul change!!!"
Dai Mubai, lying bruised and bloodied, shouted in disbelief.
He stared at Zhu Zhuqing's new martial soul, completely forgetting the pain in his body.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't answer but pointed her tiger claws coldly at his face and said in a low voice:
"Get lost. Leave this place."
"Don't ever say you're my fiancé again. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
"If I hear such crazy talk again—"
"I will kill you!!!"
"Jiangzhu, treat his wounds and let him go."
After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing walked back to Lanba Academy without looking back.
