"Come on, can you actually find it or not?"
At the mouth of an alley, Dai Mubai shot a frustrated look at Ma Hongjun, his expression resembling one that might eat him alive.
"Hehe~ It's just that I'm not very familiar with this place yet~"
Ma Hongjun chuckled awkwardly, then continued,
"Don't rush, our money isn't enough to go to the brothel so we have to take a different route."
"Maybe we should just forget it. If we don't head back soon, Dean Flender will definitely guess what we're up to…"
Dai Mubai seemed to regain a bit of his rationality at this point, his tone filled with concern.
"Don't worry, Big Brother Dai… Hey? Do you see that person?"
Ma Hongjun was about to keep persuading Dai Mubai, but then noticed a figure darting through the alley. It seemed like the person was lost.
"Woah… A fox girl?"
Dai Mubai exclaimed, noticing a lovely figure standing at the entrance of the alley not far ahead.
"It really is a fox girl! Big Brother Dai, can I have this one? After all, you've got a cat girl already…"
Ma Hongjun said this while not taking his eyes off the figure.
"Wait, do you have the feeling that she looks kind of familiar?"
Dai Mubai frowned, feeling like he had seen this figure somewhere before.
"Big Brother Dai, shouldn't you be saying that to the fox girl? Why are you flirting with me?"
Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with mischievous intent as he walked toward the figure.
"Hey, wait up…"
Seeing that Ma Hongjun couldn't wait any longer, Dai Mubai reluctantly followed him.
...
"Yu Keke, you are such an idiot. Why did you think you could take a shortcut? Now you can't even find your way out…"
Yu Keke stood at the mouth of the alley, looking at the surrounding alleys that all seemed the same. She was so anxious she could almost cry.
She had originally thought she had already wasted too much time and that her brother and the others were probably already up, waiting for her.
So, she thought, maybe she could take a shortcut to get back quickly, but after entering the alley, she only ended up getting even more lost.
What should she do now?
Yu Keke was in a state of panic.
Just then, she saw two figures emerging from the alley. She was about to ask them for directions when she realized they were heading straight toward her.
"Um… Hello?"
Seeing the two men, Yu Keke spoke first.
"Hehe, little beauty, are you alone?"
Ma Hongjun approached and began to size her up without hesitation.
"…Do you know how to get out of here?"
Noticing Ma Hongjun's obvious, lecherous gaze, Yu Keke instinctively took two steps back, summoning the courage to ask.
"Of course we do~" Ma Hongjun grinned, then said,
"Little beauty, come with me, I'll take you out."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab her hand, which was hidden behind her back.
Yu Keke sidestepped, evading his lecherous hand, and furrowed her brows as she said,
"Thanks, you… just lead the way in front."
"Hehe~ You…"
Before Ma Hongjun could finish his sentence, he was pulled aside by the grim-faced Dai Mubai.
"Big Brother Dai, what's the meaning of this?"
Ma Hongjun asked unhappily, not at all noticing the fearful look on Dai Mubai's face.
"Fatty, if you want to die, don't drag me into this!"
Dai Mubai hissed in a low voice, turning his head to glance at Yu Keke, then immediately continued,
"Did you not feel that she looks familiar?"
"Now that you mention it… I think I've seen her somewhere before."
Ma Hongjun, seeing Dai Mubai wasn't joking, immediately stopped grinning and pretended to think deeply.
"What? Still can't remember? At the Tiandou Academy, with the Heaven Dou Crown Prince and the one who came in with him…"
Dai Mubai couldn't help but remind him in frustration when Ma Hongjun stayed silent for too long.
"I know now!"
Ma Hongjun yelled, turning to look at Yu Keke. He said,
"You're the Crown Prince's maid?"
"…"
Yu Keke saw Ma Hongjun's unfriendly expression and, not wanting to say anything, began slowly backing away.
"Huh? Speak up!"
As Ma Hongjun was about to question her further, Dai Mubai stopped him again, saying,
"Are you brainless? Now that you know her identity, you still want to make a move?"
"What's her identity?"
Ma Hongjun asked, displeased,
"She looks like nothing more than a maid beside the Crown Prince! Big Brother Dai, I've noticed you're getting more and more timid."
"…"
Dai Mubai's face darkened as he looked at Ma Hongjun. What do you mean 'just a maid beside the Crown Prince'?
Even if she was just a maid, this wasn't someone they could mess with right now!
"Big Brother Dai, I won't compete with you for anything, but this fox girl, you've got to give her to me!"
Ma Hongjun seemed to have noticed Dai Mubai was quite interested in the fox girl.
But so what? It had been days since he had "fed the chickens"!
Besides, with Dai Mubai's looks and background, what kind of women had he not seen?
For a mere fox girl, he felt like this brotherhood was hardly worth it anymore!
"Huh? Trying to run?"
Ma Hongjun noticed the fox girl seemed to sense something was wrong and was quietly trying to flee into the alley. He snorted coldly and chased after her while shouting back to Dai Mubai,
"Big Brother Dai, don't follow me! Otherwise, I won't have a chance!"
"I have a bad feeling about this…"
Dai Mubai watched Ma Hongjun's figure sprinting down the alley. A feeling of impending doom thundered in his mind.
"Help! Brother, Paimon… help!"
As desperate cries echoed from the alley, Dai Mubai's premonition only grew stronger.
No, he had to stop him!
Dai Mubai made up his mind and was about to enter the alley when he saw Ma Hongjun stumble out, his hands clutching his ears, his face covered in blood.
What happened? Just a few seconds ago, and Fatty was in this state?
"What happened? What's wrong with the fox girl?"
Dai Mubai hurriedly asked as he saw Ma Hongjun's grim expression.
"Ugh~ That little b*tch is so damn stubborn! She'd rather die than let me have a go with her!"
Ma Hongjun covered his ears and spat angrily.
This little slut dared to resist him? Was there a difference between who got to play with her?
"Damn it!"
Seeing the situation, Dai Mubai couldn't care about Ma Hongjun anymore. He rushed into the alley.
Inside the alley, the fox girl was collapsed in a corner, her white dress covered in dust and bloody streaks.
It looked like she had hit her head against something, and blood was still flowing steadily from the wound. She had lost consciousness, her life hanging by a thread.
Buzz~.
Dai Mubai was stunned by the sight. His mind was buzzing, and he staggered back a few steps, barely steadying himself against the wall.
"Big Brother Dai, just go! My ear was bitten off, I need to see a doctor. This little bitch…"
Ma Hongjun glanced at the alley and, after everything that had happened, he lost all interest in the situation.
Now, he just wanted to leave, go grab some medicine, and treat his ear.
"Dai Mubai, listen to me…"
Dai Mubai's face turned pale, and his hands trembled as he grabbed Ma Hongjun's shoulder. He said,
"Get out of here, now! As far away as possible! This is my last chance to save you as your brother. Whether you can escape this disaster or not depends entirely on whether this fox girl is the Crown Prince's maid or something else…"
