Cherreads

Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Conflict

Soon, the waitress brought Dai Mubai's food to the table. The sumptuous dishes were fragrant and looked incredibly appetizing.

Dai Mubai did not pick up his chopsticks, but simply took a sip from the wine glass next to him.

As he drank, he secretly sized up Osler and Ye Lingling, seeming to also be assessing their strength.

After a while, Dai Mubai picked up his wine glass and walked over to the two.

"This beautiful young lady, may I invite you for a drink?" Dai Mubai placed his right hand on his chest and made a gentlemanly bow.

"Kid, you're courting death!"

Seeing this, Osler flew into a rage.

Ye Lingling was his teammate and good friend. How could he not be angry when someone was hitting on her so openly!

Besides, Osler was also a troublemaker himself.

The Ao family was a staunch supporter of the Heaven Dou Empire and was held in high regard by the emperor. As the first heir to the ducal mansion, Osler could get whatever he wanted in the Heaven Dou Imperial Capital.

Now, someone was bullying his friend right in front of him. This was simply courting death!

"Go to hell!" Osler's right fist suddenly shot up, and with a forward charge, he went straight for Dai Mubai's chest.

An evil light flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes. Not only did he not retreat, but he actually moved forward to meet the attack. His right foot instantly took a step forward, and he also threw out his right fist.

However, his hand instantly transformed into a sharp tiger's claw.

With a dull "bang," Osler couldn't control his body. He was sent back four or five steps, and then with a "plop," he fell heavily to the ground.

In an instant, Osler felt a sharp pain coming from his chest. The world spun before his eyes, and he almost fainted directly.

"You... you actually used your martial soul in a sneak attack!" Osler patted his head, trying hard to stay conscious.

Looking at the two yellow soul rings beside Dai Mubai, Osler vigorously rubbed his chest with his hand while struggling to get up from the ground.

However, his body seemed to disobey him. Every time he was about to get up, he would fall heavily back to the ground.

"Hmph, a sneak attack?"

Dai Mubai chuckled lightly. "Since it's a battle, one must naturally go all out. I've never seen someone like you, who just charges straight into someone else's fist."

"One look and I can tell you're just a piece of trash who grew up under the protection of your ancestors, only knowing how to freeload!"

Dai Mubai flicked his hair, a glint flashing in his evil eyes.

Killing someone was nothing more than attacking their spirit.

He was going to stomp hard on this kid's face, to show his female companion what a real man was, and then capture her heart in one fell swoop.

Dai Mubai had always been suppressed by his elder brother in the Star Luo Empire. Living in oppression and fear for a long time, his heart had gradually become twisted.

In the past, Davis had often sent people to trouble him. But a while ago, after Davis became the captain of the Royal Team, he had been quiet for a long time.

Dai Mubai guessed that his elder brother must be planning a big move.

If he didn't escape, he would surely die!

Dai Mubai fled recklessly. It was only after he had completely escaped the Star Luo Empire that he felt alive again.

Along the way, he had met many soul masters, but none of their talents could compare to his. Even when he met people with higher soul power levels, the quality of their martial souls could not compare to the White Tiger.

Slowly, Dai Mubai's already twisted heart gradually became unbridled.

"Osler, are you okay?" Ye Lingling ran to Osler's side and helped him to a stool.

A pink begonia flower appeared in her hand.

Immediately after, accompanied by a faint fragrance, a petal-shaped white light slowly drifted down, landing directly on Osler's body and gently merging into him.

Osler's body trembled, and his whole complexion looked much better. He actually stood up directly.

Lu Feng stared at the small flower in Ye Lingling's hand, his eyes immediately lighting up.

"The continent's number one healing system martial soul—the Nine Heart Begonia!"

"This martial soul is passed down through a single line, and there can only be one successor in each generation. At the same time, there can only be two living Nine Heart Begonia soul masters. Only when one dies can a descendant possibly appear."

If I were to synthesize the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, I wonder if I could break this curse. Or would an elder in Ye Lingling's family just die suddenly?

Lu Feng stopped his wild thoughts and continued to observe the situation.

Dai Mubai frowned slightly when he saw Osler had recovered. "What a powerful healing system martial soul!"

Looking at Ye Lingling's fair face, a crazy thought flashed in Dai Mubai's mind. "This girl is not weak, and she's beautiful. Only a powerhouse like him is worthy of having her!"

"Ahem, ahem." Osler coughed heavily. His injuries had mostly recovered, but he still felt a tightness in his chest.

Osler raised his head and glared fiercely at Dai Mubai, his gaze as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

"Ghost Leopard, possess..."

"Bang!" Dai Mubai lifted his foot and kicked Osler's body away.

The back of his head hit the corner of a table. A stream of blood flowed out, dyeing the ground red. At the same time, his face also quickly turned pale.

"Kid, let me teach you another lesson. You don't need to shout out 'Martial Soul Possession'."

Hearing this, Osler felt a rush of heat to his brain. The next moment, he fainted directly.

"Osler!" Seeing this, Ye Lingling shouted out in alarm.

Just as she was preparing to heal Osler again, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Dai Mubai looked down at her condescendingly and said in a gentle voice, "My name is Dai Mubai. May I have the pleasure of knowing the young lady's name?"

"You! You, move aside!"

Seeing this, Ye Lingling was slightly flustered.

She hurriedly moved her feet, intending to go around him from the side. Before she could take a few steps, Dai Mubai quickly extended his right hand and blocked her path.

"Ugh..."

In his unconscious state, Osler let out a moan, clearly suffering from great pain.

Ye Lingling said anxiously, "My name is Ye Lingling. I apologize to you on behalf of Osler. Could I trouble you to move aside first? My companion's injuries are very serious."

There was a hint of pleading in her voice.

"Is that so? Beautiful Miss Lingling, my injuries are also very serious."

Dai Mubai touched his chest and said with a smile, "From the first moment I saw you, my heart has been pounding. Could you help me with some treatment as well?"

Ye Lingling took a deep breath. Seeing the other party's persistent behavior, her eyes gradually turned cold.

"My teammates and teacher will be here soon. You should leave quickly. Osler's identity is not simple. You've injured him, and there will be consequences!"

As a child of a great clan, Ye Lingling did not have the air of a spoiled brat.

However, this did not mean she had no temper.

If she weren't an auxiliary system soul master with little combat power, just for the words Dai Mubai had said, Ye Lingling would have already made a move.

Hearing this, Dai Mubai grinned.

Comparing status?

Comparing power?

On the continent, what person's status could be more noble than his, the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire?

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself!" Dai Mubai said in a loud voice, "My name is Dai Mubai, and I am from the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire. My family rank is..."

Just as Dai Mubai was about to introduce himself, a clear voice interrupted him.

"This Young Master Dai, could you please move aside."

Dai Mubai turned to look and saw Lu Feng standing in the aisle, casually sizing him up.

"Where did this wild kid come from, daring to meddle in my business."

Dai Mubai no longer troubled Ye Lingling and instead stared coldly at Lu Feng, his entire body's soul power surging, as if he could attack at any moment.

"Young Master Dai, you're blocking my delivery person from bringing my juice."

Lu Feng pointed to the entrance, where a waitress was holding two glasses of juice, hesitating to step through the door.
