Chapter 175: 193. She Can Forgive Me a Second Time
After receiving Yu Xiaogang's letter about two promising little monster seedlings, Flender immediately replied: Please make sure they come to my Shrek Academy.
Thus, Yu Xiaogang wrote a recommendation letter for Tang San and Xiao Wu, instructing them to head to Shrek Academy in Soto City after graduation.
Soto City
Dai Mubai lay on the bed, enjoying a massage from the beauty behind him. To his left was Ma Hongjun, to his right was Oscar.
Under the influence of Oscar and Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, who had resolved to diligently cultivate, had finally succumbed.
Dai Mubai said with a wistful expression: "Ah, these six years have passed in the blink of an eye. The joyful times belonging to me, Young Master Dai, are about to end."
Oscar suddenly thought of something. With others around, he could only beat around the bush: "Boss Dai, you, me, and Fatty have all... you know... but what about Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing? They wouldn't have..."
Reminded by Oscar, Dai Mubai shuddered violently, breaking into a cold sweat.
No way—our Shrek Seven Devils couldn't possibly all be reborn, right? If that's the case, then Zhu Zhuqing, she...
If she didn't know about her own rebirth and just relived the previous life's events, she might only feel disappointment at most. But if she knew he was reborn too, she might just tear him apart.
"Boss Dai, what are you thinking? You're not worrying about Zhu Zhuqing meimei, are you?" Oscar asked.
Dai Mubai turned to Oscar and said: "Regarding my rebirth, you must keep it strictly confidential from Zhu Zhuqing, got it?"
Oscar replied: "We can certainly keep it secret, but Boss Dai, don't forget—you arrived at Shrek even earlier than in the previous life. If Zhu Zhuqing meimei thinks about it carefully, she'll realize something's off."
Dai Mubai: "..."
Dai Mubai realized that if Zhu Zhuqing was a reborn person, he was truly doomed.
Ma Hongjun asked: "Boss Dai, what do you plan to do?"
"I..." Dai Mubai fell silent, murmuring: "Zhuqing forgave me once, so she should be able to forgive me a second time... right."
On this point, Dai Mubai was still confident. After all, he and Zhu Zhuqing had completed the martial soul fusion; at most, she'd throw a little tantrum but wouldn't betray him.
"Besides, in the Star Luo Dai family, which emperor throughout history didn't have a harem? Why should I alone be devoted to Zhu Zhuqing?" Dai Mubai suddenly said righteously: "I, the mighty War God, should have a whole forest—why hang myself on her one tree? Moreover, haven't I treated her well enough? I've always reserved the position of principal wife for her. What right does she have to make a fuss?"
"Impressive, Boss Dai, you're absolutely right." Oscar said.
"Little Ao, you're too lenient with women—that's why Ning Rongrong walked all over you." Dai Mubai said: "If I were you, when Ning Rongrong said she wasn't ready, I'd have taken care of her that very night."
Hearing his dark history brought up, Oscar's expression turned awkward. He stammered: "I was trying to warm her heart—who knew..."
Six years ago, at the moment of his martial soul awakening, Dai Mubai had resonated with him, and Zhu Zhuqing had already prepared herself to fight with all her might for survival.
But she never expected her partner to flee that very night, without giving her any chance to prepare.
Zhu Zhuqing could only hypnotize herself that Dai Mubai had gone to another place, another environment, to avoid his brother's oppression and cultivate.
In the Zhu family, ever since she and her sister had been set as competitors, her once-kind sister had changed, constantly suppressing and making things difficult for her. By putting herself in his shoes, Dai Mubai must be facing the same situation as her.
In terms of talent, Zhu Zhuqing was 2.5 levels behind Dai Mubai, so she could only make up for it through hard work.
(At age 12, Zhu Zhuqing with innate level 7 soul power reached level 27 Great Soul Master, while our Young Master Dai at age 12 was only level 25—imagine how much he wasted.)
After gaining some strength, Zhu Zhuqing escaped the Zhu family and headed to the Heaven Dou Empire to find her fiancé, Dai Mubai.
Rather than fleeing, it was more like Dai Mubai was on a publicly funded tour. He used family money to fund Shrek's operations and spent it lavishly everywhere. This meant that Dai Mubai's every move in Soto City was under the Star Luo Empire's control.
Thus, everything Dai Mubai had done over these six years couldn't escape the grasp of his older brother, Davis.
"This waste—given six years, and all he does is carouse in Soto City." Davis said disdainfully.
"Vis, I see the future throne of the Star Luo Empire belongs to no one but you." Zhu Zhuyun said happily.
"Of course." Davis said smugly, then glanced at Zhu Zhuyun: "Your sister ran away, right?"
"Yes, she ran. So what?" Zhu Zhuyun asked.
"Some things are hard to do in Star Luo City, but outside..." Davis sneered: "If something 'unfortunate' happens to your sister, who could say anything?"
"Take some men and hunt down Zhu Zhuqing."
Zhu Zhuyun's expression turned unnatural. Though they were allies of interest, there was still a difference. Davis truly wanted to eradicate his younger brother completely, but Zhu Zhuyun felt a flicker of pity in her heart. She said: "Vis, think about it—Dai Mubai is just a lump of mud that won't stick to the wall. The Star Luo Empire's throne will be yours sooner or later. I don't think it's necessary."
"There is, of course there is." Davis said coldly: "Dai Mubai is my rival. Even if he's a waste, I must strike with full force. The throne may already be mine by more than half, but I, Davis, want an absolute, unquestionable result. What, do you pity your sister?"
"How could I?" Zhu Zhuyun quickly explained: "With me, without her; with her, without me—the Star Luo throne will be mine."
"That's settled then. Handle Zhu Zhuqing's matter yourself—make it clean." Davis said.
"Alright, I'll go kill her now." Zhu Zhuyun steeled her resolve and said.
With that, she turned and left.
Davis sneered: "Dai Mubai, since you've chosen to degenerate, as your brother, how can I not give you a push? Without your partner, without the Nether White Tiger, let's see how you compete with me."
On the other side, after returning to the family, Zhu Zhuyun immediately gathered her forces and launched a pursuit to kill the escaped Zhu Zhuqing.
