The Beast King was used to speaking in a vulgar manner in the Nemesis Forest. Now, he was acting genteel on purpose for the sake of not leaving a bad impression of him on Gu Ruoyun. However, his words, coupled with his coarse voice, sounded rather awkward.
Gu Ruoyun's gaze landed on the pink handkerchief in the Beast King's hand as the corners of her lips twitched.
Spent a lot of money?
Didn't he just snatch this handkerchief?
Oh, that's right, he had also robbed the poor stall owner of ten gold pieces too...
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders exasperatedly and was just about to reply when a pedantic and gloomy voice rang out from the crowd with a sneer, "I heard people commenting about a daylight robbery and I was wondering who would be so impudent to act this way but I never thought it would turn out to be you, Gu Nianye! I never expected you to escape that sea of flames! However, why aren't you, as a person who had just escaped death, treasuring your life? If I were you, I would have run far, far away. Why would I even come to Main City?"
The corners of Gu Ruoyun's lips curled into a smile when she heard this voice. Her gaze pierced through the crowd before landing on the middle-aged man who was heading towards her.
"Lan Shao."
It was the Master of the Lan family, Lan Shao!
She has not forgotten that this fellow believes in Bai Yin and has helped Bai Yin to harm her.
However, in Gu Ruoyun eyes now, unless he was a powerful cultivator of First City, everyone else was of no importance to her.
"Gu Nianye, you've offended Red Lotus Territory's emissary. Do you think that you'll be able to stay alive for very much longer?"
When Lan Shao noticed Gu Ruoyun's complacent expression, the fire in his heart became even more furious.
Not too long ago, he had been outraged by the treatment he had received at the Medicine Manor. Ever since he had returned to the Lan family residence, his father has also begun to treat him differently. How could a proud person like Lan Shao endure this?
Now, even this nobody of a little girl had the audacity to take him lightly!
Who does she think she is, Gu Ruoyun? 1
Even though they both have the same Gu surname, their power and talent are too far apart.
Lan Shao did not dare to provoke the members of the Medicine Manor but he believes that he could afford to provoke this little girl before him!
"Gu Nianye?"
The Beast King scratched the back of his head as he stared at Gu Ruoyun suspiciously.
Isn't her name Gu Ruoyun? Why is this hateful fellow calling her Gu Nianye?
The unicellular-like Beast King does not wish to understand such a complex problem and he would much rather avoid overanalyzing it. He then gently narrowed his eyes as he turned towards Lan Shao. A fierce light flashed across his pupils.
"Scram!"
That cry was full of Qi energy! Lan Shao felt his Qi and blood rolling over and over in his body, causing him to nearly spit out a mouthful of blood.
Instantly, he felt amazed and slowly calmed his aura. Only then did his expression sink.
It seems that this man's power isn't that straightforward! His level of power is definitely higher than mine! Could it be that Gu Nianye had dared 2 to step into Main City because she was relying on this fatty?
Unfortunately, there are many powerful cultivators in the Lan family. Regardless of how powerful this fatty is, he can't possibly be of any match for the cultivators of the Lan family!
Lan Shao's heart steadied greatly at the thought of this. "Gu Nianye, you've previously tried to seduce the Grand Lord of Red Lotus Territory but I never thought that you'd change your objective so quickly! However, your tastes are quite inconsistent. You'd even attempt to use a man who looks like that? I'd advise you to go back to Bai Yin and give her a present as an apology. Otherwise, no one can save you from your date!"
In this lifetime, the Beast King hates the people who call him ugly most of all!
In his heart, an unconventionally elegant, handsome, and Casanova type of man like him could not possibly have any ugly features.
Hence, the Beast King was angered and the consequences were severe!
