Chapter 43 Lu Ming Reveals Mu Bai's Attire! A Life of Debauchery and Indulgence!
[Little Witch: But! Dai Mubai is going to Shrek Academy for further studies! He's not running away!]
[Poison Fairy: This... the royal struggles of the Star Luo Empire are indeed cruel, but to call him a coward, is that really true, group admin?]
[I don't have a mother: Oh? Prince of Xingluo, Dai Mubai, the third son of the Xingluo Emperor. His elder brother, Davis, is exceptionally talented and is recognized as the next successor to the Xingluo Emperor.]
When Dai Mubai was in the Star Luo Empire, his reputation was indeed not prominent, and even somewhat...unremarkable.
[...]
Qian Renxue timely revealed the information she possessed.
Her words undoubtedly confirmed, from another perspective, that what Lu Ming said was true.
The sentiment in the group instantly shifted.
[A gentle fire dragon: A prince who abandoned everything and ran away? That's really... pathetic.]
[The fox's most innocent thought: It sounds like a clown.]
[Yuki-onna: Useless.]
Xue Di's evaluations are always concise and to the point.
Just moments ago, Dai Mubai was being praised, but in the blink of an eye, he became the object of everyone's contempt.
Zhu Zhuqing stared at the message on the screen, her fingertips turning slightly white.
She took a deep breath, but ultimately couldn't hold back.
[My cat is white and big: That might not be the case!]
[My cat is white and big: You don't understand! His brother, Davis, is extremely powerful. He has absolutely no chance if he stays in the Star Luo Empire! Only by coming to the Heaven Dou Empire and seeking a way to become stronger can he have a glimmer of hope for the future!]
Lu Ming seemed to have anticipated that she would say that.
[Emperor Lu Tian: Oh? Is that so?]
[Emperor Lu Tian: Then I'm curious, would a man who truly has plans and ambitions to seize the throne leave his fiancée alone in the perilous Star Luo Empire and run away first?]
[Lu Tiandi: What is this? Sending his fiancée home to draw attention to the fighting while he runs out to eke out a living?]
"boom!"
These words struck Zhu Zhuqing's heart like a bolt of lightning.
This is also the biggest thorn in her side.
Yes, why did he leave himself alone?
When he fled Xingluo, did he ever consider her situation even slightly?
No.
He just ran off on his own.
If I hadn't risked my life to escape and chased him all the way to Tiandou City, I probably would never have seen him again in this lifetime.
Lu Ming's words also made the others in the group see Dai Mubai's true character.
[Little Witch: ...He abandoned his fiancée and ran away? Damn, what a jerk!]
[The cutest bunny: How could you do this... It's so dangerous for a girl to be alone.]
[The most innocent fox: Tsk tsk, seeing is believing, Dai Mubai is really too smitten.]
[I have no mother: abandoning my companions to escape alone, regardless of the reason, hardly makes me a strong person.]
[Poison Fairy: It seems we misjudged them.]
Seeing the overwhelming criticism in the group chat, Zhu Zhuqing felt suffocated.
She opened her mouth, but found herself speechless.
Because what Lu Ming said was true.
It was a fact she had always refused to think about, yet which existed in a bloody way.
This is the fundamental reason why she never let Dai Mubai touch her, and never even held his hand.
In her heart, there was resentment and hatred.
After a long while, she finally managed to type out a line of text.
My cat is white and big: Maybe...maybe the situation was too rushed, and he didn't have time...
Her explanation seemed weak, even to herself.
[My cat is white and big: But you can't deny his hard work! He's already at level 38! Among his peers, he's considered a genius!]
She tried to prove her point from another angle.
Strength is the most fundamental truth in this world.
However, Lu Ming's response plunged her into despair once again.
[Lu Tiandi: How old is he?]
Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback, and answered subconsciously.
My cat is white and big: eighteen years old, almost nineteen.
[Lu Tiandi: Eighteen or nineteen years old, level thirty-eight soul power.]
[Lu Tiandi: Is it very high?]
A series of messages popped up.
Zhu Zhuqing was speechless for a moment.
Is it very high?
In a regular Soul Master academy, this would indeed be considered a top-tier genius.
However, in Shrek Academy, a school known for its monsters, Tang San and Xiao Wu were almost level 30 before they were even fifteen years old.
Looking at the top geniuses across the entire continent, such as the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, or the elites of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
At Dai Mubai's age and level, he can only be considered... above average, or even just average.
How many years did it take for a prince burdened with a blood feud and needing to reclaim the throne to reach this level?
This so-called "effort" is far too exaggerated.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, Lu Ming pressed his advantage and mercilessly exposed Dai Mubai's last fig leaf.
[Emperor Lu Tian: As far as I know, this Star Luo Prince was a regular at the various brothels in Heaven Dou City before he came to Shrek Academy.]
[Emperor Lu Tian: He spends his days indulging in pleasure, surrounded by women, wasting his cultivation time on their bellies.]
[Lu Tiandi: What you call hard work is nothing more than a show he's putting on for you lately.]
This statement caused an uproar in the group chat.
[Little Witch: I...I knew it! He used to go out partying all the time! Turns out he was...going to prostitutes?! Disgusting!]
[The most innocent fox: Good heavens, so cowardly and lecherous, how can someone like that be a prince?]
[Gentle Fire Dragon: You can know a person's face but not their heart.]
[Your Holiness: Ha, good-for-nothings always like to use indulgence to cover up their incompetence.]
Bibi Dong, who had been lurking in the shadows, also emerged coldly to deliver the final verdict.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was already deathly pale.
She felt like a clown, having just been working hard to create a glorious image for Dai Mubai in the group chat, only to have the group admin expose her completely.
She was unwilling to accept it, or rather, she was unwilling to believe that she had entrusted herself to the wrong person.
My cat used to be white and big!
[My cat is white and big: People aren't static! Maybe he really will slowly change!]
This rebuttal was filled with a final act of defiance.
Lu Ming looked at the message, chuckled, and typed out the words to end it all.
[Emperor Lu Tian: A leopard can't change its spots.]
[Lu Tiandi: I bet right now, that "prodigal son who's turned over a new leaf" and "diligently cultivating" Dai Mubai you all talk about is probably having sex with some prostitute in bed.]
[Lu Tiandi: After all, the next All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies is about to begin. How could he not "relax" at such a crucial moment?]
...
Blue Tyrant Academy, girls' dormitory.
Zhu Zhuqing exited the chat group interface.
The room was completely silent.
Is what the group admin said true?
