125: Chapter 125 Dai Mubai breaks through his defenses, what's so great about Chen Feng!

In front of Dai Mubai stood a middle-aged man wearing a black robe.

The middle-aged man's face was expressionless, his gaze fixed directly on Dai Mubai.

This man was a secret envoy specifically sent to Heaven Dou City by the Star Luo Empire royal Family.

The middle-aged man pulled a heavy cowhide bag from his wide sleeve.

He threw the bag directly onto the square table next to Dai Mubai.

The bag's drawstring loosened.

A pitch-black metal token and a thick stack of gold notes fell out.

"Your Highness, Third Prince."

"This is what His Majesty ordered me to bring."

"Inside are one hundred thousand gold coins."

"And this Star Luo Royal Offering Token."

The secret envoy spoke, his tone flat.

When Dai Mubai saw this Offering Token, his eyes immediately lit up.

He knew what this token meant.

With it, he could mobilize all the lurking Spirit Masters stationed within Heaven Dou City by the Star Luo Empire.

He had been hiding like a stray dog for some time, unable to even sleep soundly.

Now, he finally received support from his Family.

As Dai Mubai reached out to take the token, the secret envoy suddenly reached out and pressed his hand down on it.

Dai Mubai raised his head, glaring at the secret envoy with rage.

"What are you doing!"

"This is something Father gave to me; do you, a servant, dare to stop me?"

Dai Mubai shouted angrily.

The secret envoy was not angry at all, simply withdrawing his hand.

"Your Highness, do not be impatient."

"The items are naturally for you."

"However, His Majesty has a few imperial edicts that I need to convey clearly to you."

The secret envoy straightened his back.

Dai Mubai could only suppress his anger, sitting in a chair to listen.

"His Majesty said that the Star Luo royal Family has been paying close attention to the copy of the diary that has been causing such a stir on the continent recently."

"The person named Qin Feng has displayed terrifying strength."

"Even Zhao Wuji from the Spirit Hall was killed by him with a single kick."

"Now, the Heaven Dou Royal Family is also currying favor with him, even offering to marry a princess to him."

"The Star Luo Empire absolutely cannot lose this opportunity."

The secret envoy recounted the Star Luo Emperor's concerns word for word.

Upon hearing the name Qin Feng, Dai Mubai's fists immediately clenched, cracking audibly.

He gritted his teeth tightly.

"What exactly does Father want me to do?"

Dai Mubai asked in a suppressed voice.

Seeing Dai Mubai's murderous expression, a flash of contempt crossed the secret envoy's eyes.

"His Majesty requires you to utilize every convenient condition here."

"Approach Qin Feng at any cost."

"Figure out his background and see what kind of expert is guiding him from behind the scenes."

"If possible, you must win him over to our Star Luo Empire."

"As long as he nods, His Majesty is willing to agree to any condition he proposes."

The secret envoy laid out the Star Luo Emperor's trump card directly.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai jumped up from his chair.

Because the movement was too sudden, it aggravated his wounds, causing him to gasp in pain.

But he couldn't care about that.

He pointed at the secret envoy's nose.

"Win him over?"

"Doesn't Father know that Qin Feng crippled my limbs and broke my bones?"

"Doesn't Father know that Qin Feng snatched my fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing, in front of everyone!"

"My, Dai Mubai's, face has been trampled under his feet!"

"Now you want me to win him over? To become his dog!"

Dai Mubai's emotions completely spiraled out of control, yelling in the hall.

The secret envoy didn't even dodge, letting Dai Mubai's saliva spray onto his face.

After Dai Mubai finished yelling, the secret envoy spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Your Highness, do you think your face is more important than the great Star Luo Empire?"

"You lack the ability to protect your own woman."

"In His Majesty's eyes, this is an extremely incompetent display."

"His Majesty even said, if Qin Feng is truly willing to pledge loyalty to Star Luo."

"What is a mere Zhu Zhuqing worth?"

"His Majesty is willing to pick out the most beautiful princess of the royal Family and send her directly to Qin Feng's bed."

"As for your personal grudge with Qin Feng."

"For the sake of the Empire's overall situation, you must let it go."

The secret envoy's words were like a dull knife, slicing into Dai Mubai's heart bit by bit.

Dai Mubai froze completely.

He opened his mouth slightly, unable to say a word.

He had always thought of himself as a high-and-mighty Star Luo prince.

Even if he ran to the Heaven Dou Empire, the Family would surely send people to support him.

But he never expected.

That in the face of absolute power, the Star Luo royal Family would bow to Qin Feng so quickly.

Even treating him, their own biological son, as a bargaining chip that could be sacrificed at will.

"If… if I don't go?"

Dai Mubai squeezed these words out through his teeth.

The secret envoy sneered.

"If you can't even handle this small matter."

"Then the First Prince, Dai Weisi, would be very happy to complete this task in your stead."

"By then, you will have no place left in the Star Luo Empire."

"I have delivered the message."

"As for this money and the token, Your Highness, take care of yourself."

After saying this, the secret envoy turned around and walked out of the small courtyard without looking back.

Only Dai Mubai was left in the hall.

He stared blankly at the gold notes and the black Offering Token on the table.

A massive sense of humiliation flooded him like a tide.

He slapped the table.

The tea bowl on the table was knocked to the ground and shattered to pieces.

He was unwilling.

Why should he have to curry favor with the enemy who ruined everything for him?

Just at this moment.

Dai Mubai suddenly remembered something.

He hurriedly pulled out the copy of the diary from his bosom that allowed him to synchronize with the content.

He flipped to the latest page.

It clearly stated that Qin Feng had gone to the Crown Princes Mansion early this morning.

And he was spouting nonsense in the diary, saying he was going to sleep with the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, who was a woman disguised as a man.

Dai Mubai's eyes lit up instantly.

Qin Feng was not at the Rose Hotel!

With that living Yama not there, only those women, including Zhu Zhuqing, were left in the hotel.

As long as Qin Feng wasn't there, more than half of the fear in Dai Mubai's heart disappeared.

He grabbed the token and gold notes from the table and shoved them tightly into his bosom.

An excellent plan formed in his mind.

"Father thinks I'm useless, thinks I can't protect my own woman."

"Then I will forcibly take Zhu Zhuqing back to the Star Luo Empire!"

"As long as Zhu Zhuqing returns with me to get married, our Spirit Fusion skill can reach Major Achievement."

"Then I can prove to Father that I am a hundred times better than that Dai Weisi!"

"As long as I have Zhu Zhuqing in my hands, I still have the capital to turn things around."

Dai Mubai kept encouraging himself in his heart.

He felt that Zhu Zhuqing had always been a traditional-minded girl.

Back in the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing had been obedient to him.

Although she was now bewitched by Qin Feng.

As long as he lowered his status, coaxed her well, and applied pressure using the Family's rules and destiny.

Zhu Zhuqing would definitely change her mind and go with him.

The more Dai Mubai thought about it, the more he felt this plan was feasible.

He tidied his clothes and tucked the bandages inside.

He strode out of the small courtyard.

To avoid attracting attention, he did not bring any attendants.

Alone, he walked quickly along the streets of Heaven Dou City towards the Rose Hotel.

The road was bustling with pedestrians.

Dai Mubai's mind was full of what he would say when he saw Zhu Zhuqing in a moment.

About half an hour passed.

Dai Mubai arrived at the front door of the Rose Hotel.

The Rose Hotel was as luxurious and imposing as ever.

The lobby manager was busy receiving guests.

Dai Mubai walked in directly with a cold face.

He knew Qin Feng had rented the entire top-floor suite.

Seeing Dai Mubai heading upstairs, the lobby manager ran over, wanting to stop him.

"Sir, the top floor has been rented by a distinguished guest; no one is allowed to go up."

The lobby manager said, nodding and bowing.

Dai Mubai pulled a handful of gold coins from his bosom and smashed them into the lobby manager's face.

"Get lost! I'm going to find my fiancée!"

Dai Mubai shouted abusively.

The lobby manager's face was covered in bruises from the gold coins, but seeing Dai Mubai's fierce appearance, he dared not stop him again.

Before leaving, Qin Feng had instructed that anyone causing trouble should be beaten to death.

The lobby manager thought, since this person was going to find his fiancée, let them solve it themselves.

Dai Mubai arrived at the top floor of the hotel without obstruction.

The entire corridor was covered with thick handmade wool carpets, making no sound when stepped on.

He walked to the extremely luxurious rosewood double doors.

Dai Mubai took a deep breath.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door three times with force.

Footsteps were soon heard from inside the room.

"Who is it? So annoying early in the morning."

A little girl's crisp voice came through the door crack.

Then, the door was pulled open.

It was Xiao Wu who opened the door.

Xiao Wu was wearing a pink camisole nightdress, her hair messy.

She was holding a half-eaten carrot in one hand.

Xiao Wu raised her head and met Dai Mubai's face.

The impatience on Xiao Wu's face instantly turned into extreme disgust.

"Why is it you, you jinx?"

Xiao Wu scolded him without politeness and was about to close the door directly.

Dai Mubai was quick-witted and pressed his hand on the door frame.

"Xiao Wu, don't go too far!"

"I'm here to find Zhuqing, let her come out and see me!"

Dai Mubai kept his voice very low, fearing to attract others.

Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, blocking the doorway.

She looked up and down at Dai Mubai's miserable state.

"Is 'Zhuqing' a name you can call?"

"What qualification do you have to come looking for her?"

"Get lost quickly. Brother Qin Feng instructed before he left that if a blind dog is seen barking at the door, beat it to death."

Xiao Wu's words were as ugly as they could be.

Dai Mubai's face turned blue from the scolding, and the veins on his neck bulged.

But he needed help today, so he could only endure it tightly.

"Don't use Qin Feng to pressure me!"

"I am Zhu Zhuqing's properly betrothed fiancé; this is something the whole world knows."

"It is only right and proper for me to look for my own woman!"

Dai Mubai raised his volume and shouted righteously.

The people inside the room obviously heard the commotion at the door.

Ning Rongrong walked over, shuffling in a pair of slippers.

Ning Rongrong was wearing a light cyan silk pajama, her hair casually tied behind her head.

She walked to Xiao Wu's side, hugged her chest with both hands, and looked at Dai Mubai with a mocking face.

"Yo, isn't this the Great Young Master Dai who had all his bones broken and learned to bark like a dog in the Great Spirit Arena?"

"The sun must have risen from the west today."

"You actually dare to run here to act wildly."

"Are your injuries healed? Do you want this Young Miss to call a few Spirit Masters of the healing type to treat your brain?"

Ning Rongrong's mouth was famously poisonous.

She was the Little Witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and never took Dai Mubai seriously.

Dai Mubai's face turned red and white, blocked at the door by these two girls, unable to enter.

"Ning Rongrong, stop being sarcastic here!"

"This is a private matter between me and Zhu Zhuqing; it has nothing to do with you!"

"Call Zhu Zhuqing out; I want to take her away!"

Dai Mubai said, gnashing his teeth.

"Rongrong, Xiao Wu, let him in."

Just at this moment.

Zhu Zhuqing's cold and clear voice came from the room.

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing speak, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong looked at each other.

"Go in, don't wipe the dirt on your feet on our carpet."

Xiao Wu snorted and stepped aside to make way.

Dai Mubai pushed open the door and strode into the spacious and bright luxury suite.

The suite was ridiculously large.

Sunlight spilled onto the floor through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing sitting on the leather sofa at a glance.

Zhu Zhuqing was holding an exquisite white porcelain teacup, elegantly drinking black tea.

She was wearing a black men's silk bathrobe.

The bathrobe was way too big.

The collar was slightly open, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.

The hem only covered the base of her thighs, and her two long, straight legs were completely exposed to the air.

Dai Mubai recognized it at a glance.

This piece of clothing was definitely Qin Feng's!

Seeing his nominal fiancée wearing another man's clothes without any defense.

Even sleeping in another man's bed last night.

Dai Mubai felt his heart was about to explode.

The flame of jealousy burned from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Zhuqing!"

"Look at what you are wearing now!"

"Do you still have any shame!"

Dai Mubai rushed to the sofa and pointed at Zhu Zhuqing, questioning her loudly.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't even lift her eyelids.

She slowly placed the teacup on the coffee table in front of her.

"What I wear, is it your turn to manage?"

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was so flat that not a hint of emotion could be heard.

Dai Mubai was choked half to death by these words.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

He came today to persuade someone, he couldn't make the relationship worse.

"Zhuqing, I know you are still angry at me."

"I know I was wrong before."

Dai Mubai's tone suddenly softened, putting on a heartbroken appearance.

"Back then in the Star Luo Empire, Dai Weisi was pressing step by step."

"If I stayed there, both of us would die."

"I ran to the Heaven Dou Empire to save my life, and also to leave a way out for us."

"I know that leaving you alone at home made you suffer too much."

"You are angry at me and blame me, this is all my fault."

"Even if you hit me or scold me, I will never fight back."

Dai Mubai began to play the emotional card, trying to evoke Zhu Zhuqing's old feelings.

Upon hearing these words, Zhu Zhuqing finally raised her head to look at Dai Mubai.

There was no emotion in her eyes.

Only utter disgust.
