Dai Mubai quickly reached out with his other hand to touch the extremely cold ice, trying to melt the freezing Extreme Ice, but the moment his hand touched the ice, his perfectly fine hand trembled, and his fingers stiffened. Dai Mubai immediately realized something was wrong and quickly pulled his hand back.
Lin Chen smiled slightly; how could a normal person withstand the erosion of Extreme Ice?
Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were momentarily flustered after seeing Dai Mubai's miserable state. They dared not make any moves, fearing they would be implicated by Dai Mubai. They knew Dai Mubai's strength; among people his age, Dai Mubai's strength was outstanding.
Looking at Lin Chen, he didn't seem much older than Dai Mubai, yet Lin Chen possessed the strength to completely overpower Dai Mubai. With just one exchange, Dai Mubai was utterly defeated.
Under such circumstances, they naturally dared not act rashly.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly. Seeing Dai Mubai's arm slowly turning black, Zhu Zhuqing said to Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, can you help Dai Mubai melt that ice?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "What, you can't bear to see him like this?"
"No way, you misunderstood me again. I'm worried about you. Dai Mubai is, after all, a Star Luo Prince. If anything happens to him, I'm afraid the Star Luo Royal Family will come looking for trouble!" Zhu Zhuqing quickly explained. She didn't want Lin Chen to misunderstand her again, so without any hesitation, she immediately clarified their relationship.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Zhuqing, you don't need to worry. The Star Luo Royal Family is nothing! If they really come looking for trouble over a useless Prince, I don't mind letting the Star Luo Empire change emperors!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhu Zhuqing's face showed a hint of struggle, but she quickly became relieved.
In Zhu Zhuqing's heart, Lin Chen was the most important. Even if Lin Chen was truly hunted down by the Star Luo Empire, she was willing to advance and retreat with Lin Chen.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's expression, Lin Chen was very satisfied. He gently raised his right hand, and the ice encasing Dai Mubai's arm instantly dissipated.
However, what everyone didn't know was that the moment the ice dissipated, an invisible aura from Dai Mubai's arm directly invaded his lower body.
Lin Chen originally hadn't intended to deal with Dai Mubai right now; after all, he hadn't had enough fun yet. But since Dai Mubai launched a sneak attack, he definitely had to teach him a lesson, just collecting some interest first. Losing an arm would be too boring. If Dai Mubai lost an arm, he would lose his right to succession to the throne. The Star Luo Royal Family would certainly not allow a cripple to be Emperor. At that point, Dai Mubai would surely be disheartened and lose confidence in life. Such a result would be too uninteresting.
Dai Mubai likes to flirt, doesn't he? Then let him become a eunuch. The Star Luo Royal Family surely wouldn't expect their heir to be a eunuch, would they?
Lin Chen's move was very covert; no one would have suspected that he was behind it.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lin Chen in surprise. Lin Chen smiled and didn't explain.
Dai Mubai only felt a pang in his lower abdomen, but it quickly returned to normal. Relieved, Dai Mubai's complexion improved slightly. He immediately stood up and angrily questioned Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhu Zhuqing, what exactly do you mean? Don't forget your identity!"
Dai Mubai's full-power attack was not only easily defused by Lin Chen but also left him severely injured. Dai Mubai already knew the gap between himself and Lin Chen. A calm Dai Mubai's intelligence was still online, so he naturally wouldn't provoke Lin Chen again. Therefore, he ignored Lin Chen and chose to directly target Zhu Zhuqing. At the same time, he also wanted Lin Chen to understand Zhu Zhuqing's relationship with him, that he, a pretty boy, was nothing more than a third party.
Zhu Zhuqing looked coldly at Dai Mubai and said indifferently, "It means nothing. My destiny is my own to decide!"
"Hmph, can you decide it? If Father Emperor finds out, you should be clear about the consequences!" Dai Mubai threatened through gritted teeth.
Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled slightly, momentarily at a loss for words. She turned to look at Lin Chen, her expression unusually conflicted. Zhu Zhuqing had already made up her mind that even if it cost her life, she would sever ties with Dai Mubai. Her only worry now was implicating Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled slightly, patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Zhu Zhuqing gently nodded. Seeing Lin Chen's determined look, she felt a little more at ease.
Lin Chen slowly walked in front of Dai Mubai and said, "You are Dai Mubai, right?"
Dai Mubai's pupils constricted as he recalled the scene of Lin Chen's earlier attack, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his body. However, remembering his identity, he raised his head and said confidently, "That's right! Since Zhu Zhuqing told you my identity, did she also tell you that she is my fiancée?"
Just as the two were confronting each other, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong also came over. Hearing Dai Mubai's question, they then realized the relationship between him and Zhu Zhuqing. It was clear that Lin Chen had become the third party between them. For a moment, they felt some disdain for Lin Chen and sympathy for Dai Mubai, but no matter what they thought internally, they remained calm on the surface, fearing they would be implicated. After all, Lin Chen's strength was obvious to all.
Lin Chen sneered, saying disdainfully, "Oh? Now you know Zhu Zhuqing is still your fiancée? What the hell were you doing before? Three years ago, you fled Star Luo alone, abandoning your fiancée. Do you still have the nerve to utter the words 'fiancée'? Dai Mubai, you really have thick skin. Where were you when Zhu Zhuqing was being hunted? Where were you when her life hung by a thread?"
Lin Chen snorted coldly, a mocking smile appearing on his face. He questioned, "Dai Mubai... the taste of twins is good, isn't it? When Zhu Zhuqing was being hunted, you were busy having fun with other women in hotel rooms! Tell me yourself, in these past few years, you've changed women faster than you change clothes. You spend all your time flirting and being unmotivated, yet you still have the nerve to question Zhu Zhuqing. Now you see that Zhuqing is beautiful and can resonate with your Spirit, so you want to turn over a new leaf? You want to acknowledge your fiancée now?"
As Lin Chen spoke, he glanced at Ning Rongrong and the other two, noticing that the 'brothel chicken' was stifling a laugh. Lin Chen felt a wave of disdain in his heart. This 'chicken' wasn't a good person either. Next time, he would definitely make her like Dai Mubai, into a eunuch.
"You're talking nonsense!" Hearing Lin Chen's accusations and questions, Dai Mubai's face was extremely grim, and he roared in exasperation. Lin Chen's words were no less than stripping him naked and thoroughly humiliating him.
