Chapter 64: Dai Mubai's Consuming Jealousy!
"I am Zhao Wuji."
Faced with the notorious Dragon and Serpent Duo, Zhao Wuji immediately changed his attitude, adopting a respectful and polite tone as he introduced himself.
Upon hearing his name, Serpent Grandmother raised her brows slightly.
"So that's why," she murmured. "I was wondering how I could casually encounter such a young Soul Saint. It turns out to be the renowned Immovable King of the soul master world."
Zhao Wuji let out a slightly awkward laugh, secretly thinking, Renowned? More like infamous…
Serpent Grandmother then turned her gaze toward Ye Cheng, asking with equal politeness, "May I ask for this young master's name?"
For some reason, as she looked at this young man, she felt a deep sense of unfathomable mystery as if he was even more terrifying than Zhao Wuji.
She had lived long enough to know that her instincts never lied they had helped her avoid countless dangers in the past.
Since she was being courteous, Ye Cheng saw no reason to act arrogant.
After all, true strength didn't require lording over the weak. That wasn't dignity it was just bullying.
"No need for formalities. My surname is Ye."
At that moment, Zhao Wuji's mind went blank as if a thunderbolt had struck his thoughts.
He quickly put together two crucial facts
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were standing beside him.His surname was Ye.
That alone was enough for Zhao Wuji to realize the truth.
"Your Excellency!"
Before Serpent Grandmother could react, Zhao Wuji immediately bowed deeply, his voice loud and clear
"Zhao Wuji has been blind and offended Your Excellency. I beg for your forgiveness!"
"Zhao laoshi, what are you ?"
Oscar was stunned.
He was just about to ask what was going on, but Tang San quickly pulled him back.
Because just now, Zhao Wuji had called Ye Cheng "Your Excellency."
That title was only used for Titled Douluo!
Which meant
This plain looking young man in front of them was a real Titled Douluo!
And given that he was traveling with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing there was only one possibility.
Tang San recalled the future video revelations and immediately put the pieces together.
Shit. This is impossible.
Ye Cheng sighed internally.
I just wanted to experience the classic "hiding my strength" trope. Was that too much to ask?
I only gave my last name, and they already figured it out.
With his identity exposed, there was no longer any point in pretending.
A thin layer of mist shrouded his face when it dispersed, his ordinary features had been replaced by a sharp, strikingly handsome visage.
That face !
Serpent Grandmother's expression shifted dramatically.
She immediately bowed like Zhao Wuji, her voice trembling slightly
"I have been blind and ignorant, not recognizing Your Excellency's presence. Please forgive me!"
In recent future videos, Ye Cheng had been the main protagonist his face was now widely recognized.
After all, he was undisputedly the strongest soul master alive.
Not remembering his face was as foolish as not knowing the emperor.
If someone accidentally offended him, their entire family could be wiped out.
Thus, the moment his true face was revealed, Serpent Grandmother recognized him instantly and hastily begged for forgiveness.
And this… Ye Cheng thought, is exactly why I disguise myself.
Looking at the two people in front of him, their heads bowed in reverence, Ye Cheng couldn't help but feel the trouble that came with absolute power.
Wherever he went, people either worshipped him or feared him.
No one dared to oppose him.
Honestly?
It was boring.
He sighed softly but kept his expression calm.
Then, shifting his gaze to Meng Yiran, who stood behind Serpent Grandmother, he said, "Since you need the serpent, I'll give it to you."
Meng Yiran was stunningly beautiful
Her long brown eyelashes framed large, expressive eyes. Though only sixteen, her figure was already fully developed curves in all the right places, a narrow waist, and movements that flowed with serpentine grace.
Ye Cheng lingered on her for a moment, taking in her unique charm.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Serpent Grandmother was briefly stunned, but she immediately recovered and pulled Meng Yiran forward.
"Yiran, hurry and thank His Excellency!"
"Huh? Oh!"
Meng Yiran was still a bit dazed, but after a second, she quickly bowed.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Meanwhile, the Shrek group
Seeing the Phoenix Tailed Crest Serpent which they had claimed as their own being handed over so easily, Oscar looked visibly frustrated.
But he knew better than to complain.
This wasn't just a Titled Douluo this was an Ultimate Douluo.
Oscar had some pride as a genius, but he wasn't stupid.
A young, reckless genius who didn't know when to keep his mouth shut
Was nothing more than a dead genius.
As for Zhao Wuji
Even though he felt a bit bitter, he dared not protest.
One wrong word, and Ye Cheng could wipe him out with a single breath.
Dai Mubai, however, was burning with jealousy.
His eyes were locked onto Zhu Zhuqing, his emotions a chaotic storm.
It was obvious
Zhu Zhuqing had already become Ye Cheng's disciple.
With an Ultimate Douluo as her master, the Star Luo Empire's arranged fate for her was now a joke.
She had escaped her destiny.
But he Dai Mubai was still trapped.
His family would assign him a new fiancée, and he would still be forced into that inevitable duel.
Their fates had once been intertwined
Now, they had split apart.
And she was the one who had risen above him.
Dai Mubai was jealous.
Extremely jealous.
So jealous he could barely breathe.
"Why wasn't it me?"
"Why did Zhu Zhuqing get to escape?"
"Why?"
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, nearly drawing blood.
I refuse to accept this!
Zhu Zhuqing, of course, noticed his intense gaze.
When she looked up, their eyes met
Dai Mubai's jealousy and frustration were written all over his face.
She understood his emotions.
But she owed him nothing.
From the very start
He was the one who ran away first, abandoning her.
She had traveled thousands of miles from Star Luo Empire to find him
Only to discover that he had been wasting his time in indulgence, completely neglecting his training.
With his talent, if he had trained seriously, he would be far stronger than he was now.
She had been disappointed in him.
Even then, she had stayed at Shrek, hoping to help him improve.
But after seeing how pathetic the academy was
She realized there was no future there.
So she had left without regret.
And she would never look back.
