Douluo: Bibi Dong Abandons, Snow Empress Raises to Adulthood

"Ha?"

Xue Tianyu laughed.

And he laughed loudly.

"What are you laughing at?"

For some reason, Dai Mubai felt that Xue Tianyu's laughter sent a chill down his spine.

But now he had to make a move, or he would continue to be suppressed by Xue Tianyu.

That couldn't happen.

'Since the ordinary academy couldn't suppress you, I'll bring this to the national level.'

Dai Mubai thought, 'No one would be foolish enough to offend both a sect and an empire at the same time, right? If that happened, even surviving on the main road would be difficult.'

In the past, when Dai Mubai was undecided, he would always bring up the Star Luo Empire.

Most people would give face to the Star Luo Empire and stop pursuing things further.

However, Xue Tianyu was not an ordinary person.

Others feared the Star Luo Empire's national power, but he was not afraid.

Xue Tianyu crossed his arms in front of his chest and coldly looked at Dai Mubai, who was lying on the ground, still groaning softly in pain.

"Just you?"

"You're nothing but a discarded pawn of the Star Luo Empire."

Dai Mubai's face turned pale, and he had a vague, unsettling premonition.

'Could it be…?'

As expected, his premonition came true.

Xue Tianyu looked directly into Dai Mubai's eyes, speaking each word slowly, "If I wrote a letter to Dai Weisi right now, he would be more than happy to send someone to assassinate you, wouldn't he?"

Dai Mubai froze.

'How does this person know so much?!'

At this moment, there was a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at Xue Tianyu.

This fear even made him temporarily forget the pain from his broken leg.

'It feels like I'm completely exposed in front of him…'

Soon, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Dai Mubai regretted it.

'We were originally here to find Xiao Wu. This was Tang San's matter, I shouldn't have rushed to stand out like this. Now look at me—I'm the only one suffering the worst consequences.'

His inner self was trembling.

'I shouldn't have forced things like this…'

Xue Tianyu looked down at Dai Mubai with a calm expression. "Stop lying there. Get up and kowtow to me!"

Dai Mubai shuddered. He didn't dare not listen to Xue Tianyu's words. He could only bear the intense pain and obediently get up to kowtow.

Tang San watched as Dai Mubai was pushed into submission, unable to resist. He thought that this was ultimately helping him, so he spoke up, "He's badly injured. Don't make him kowtow..."

Xue Tianyu tilted his head and looked at Tang San.

"What? You want to accompany him?"

Tang San fell silent.

'Right now, I have to conserve my strength for Xiao Wu. This is not the time to stick my neck out.'

'Of course, how much of this is self-preservation… only I know.'

Dai Mubai wasn't a fool. He looked at Tang San with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

'Damn it, I charged forward for Xiao Wu, and now I'm in this miserable state. But when I turn around, you're hiding like a turtle. Is that really okay?'

'Is Xiao Wu even my woman?'

'Who was it that was crying and begging us to help you find Xiao Wu?'

'Now that she's almost found, just because Xiao Wu put a green hat on you, you start to wither?'

Dai Mubai deeply despised Tang San.

'He really doesn't even want to pretend anymore…'

'A hypocrite!'

Dai Mubai knew that the days of being open and honest with his brothers were long gone.

'With Tang San acting this way, he doesn't deserve to be called my brother!'

Now, the only one Dai Mubai cared about was Zhu Zhuqing.

But when he turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, his heart immediately sank.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with clarity now.

'No... it can't be…'

'Is even Goddess Zhu Zhuqing going to leave me?'

Dai Mubai couldn't bear this blow.

He immediately turned to Zhu Zhuqing and, with an almost pleading tone, said, "Zhuqing, listen to me, it's not what you think!"

He had to explain. Otherwise, this misunderstanding would only grow.

However, Zhu Zhuqing, as if she had completely seen through him, moved a few steps toward Xue Tianyu.

A rift as deep as a chasm formed between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.

She was making it clear she was distancing herself from him.

Dai Mubai's heart ached.

'This pain is worse than if they had killed me…'

'But there's nothing I can do—Zhu Zhuqing has already made her stance clear.'

Seeing the goddess's attitude like this, Dai Mubai felt a chill all over his body.

'It's over. Zhu Zhuqing's attitude makes me feel like my sky has collapsed.'

'Everything is gone!'

A sudden burst of anger flared in Dai Mubai's eyes.

'It's Xiao Wu's fault!'

'Why the hell did she go after Xue Tianyu for revenge? Didn't she know her own limits?'

'Of course, it's also Tang San's fault!'

'He actually came to Xue Tianyu and acted so arrogant!'

'Damn Tang San, why did I stick my neck out for his matters?'

"Ma Hongjun has gone to ask the master for help. They'll be back soon. Let me see Xiao Wu first." Tang San knew he couldn't rely on Dai Mubai anymore.

He had to take action himself.

Thinking of the upcoming Yu Xiaogang, Xue Tianyu's mind began to turn.

'How should I torture him?'

'Anyway, I'll use Yu Xiaogang's blood to pay back a portion of Bibi Dong's actions.'

"Fine, since you want to see her so badly, I'm not completely unreasonable. I'll let you see her."

Xue Tianyu's words gave Tang San a glimmer of hope.

"Really?"

Xue Tianyu nodded. "Of course, you just need to kowtow to me a hundred times. Then I'll let you see her."

"Pfft... what did you just say!"

Tang San almost shouted in anger.

'This is clearly an insult.'

'A hundred kowtows? Not even ancestral worship requires that many!'

'This demand is absolutely outrageous!'

Facing this humiliation, Tang San clenched his fists and stared at Xue Tianyu.

He was hesitating.

'Kowtow, or not kowtow?'

...

At this moment, inside the bathroom.

Xiao Wu was pressed up against the bathroom door.

She wanted to hear what would happen next with Tang San.

Upon hearing Xue Tianyu's demand for Tang San to kowtow to see her, she immediately understood his intentions.

'Brother San, please don't kowtow!' Xiao Wu anxiously shouted, but her voice couldn't possibly carry.

She knew this kind of insult was fatal for a man.

'This is a trampling of a man's dignity by another man!'

But as she thought about this, Xiao Wu suddenly wondered—

'If Tang San doesn't kowtow… doesn't that mean his love for me isn't as deep as I thought?'

'Maybe, in his heart, I don't hold such a high place.'

'Maybe I'm not worth him breaking his bottom line for?'

Thinking this, Xiao Wu secretly hoped that Tang San would kowtow.

'After all, only by doing so would it truly show how deep his love for me is.'

As she thought this, Xiao Wu's face showed an expression of anticipation.

'Brother San... just kowtow, let me truly see how deep your love is for me.'

'Ah! Brother San, prove to me how deep your love truly is!'
