Not only was Xiao Yufan visibly displeased, but Cheng Ying also slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows. However, upon recognizing the speaker, her beautiful eyes turned icy cold.
“Isn’t our little princess from Qing Ling Palace supposed to be free from worldly desires? How come you’re now associating with some rogue man?”
Facing Cheng Ying’s icy glare, the newcomer showed no sign of backing down—in fact, he rather enjoyed this sensation. If he couldn’t earn this woman’s love, he would rather provoke her utmost hatred.
“Rogue man?” Xiao Yufan’s expression gradually darkened. This person’s words were truly offensive, provoking an urge in Xiao Yufan to slap him across the face.
“Li Hun, be careful with what you say. Don’t think that just because you belong to the Four Divine Temple, no one in this world can touch you!”
Cheng Ying’s gaze swept briefly over Xiao Yufan, fearing he might suddenly erupt in anger. She didn’t want to bring further trouble to her man by provoking this madman.
Upon hearing Cheng Ying reveal his identity, Xiao Yufan felt a surge of surprise. Four Divine Temple—ranked third among the Guardian Temples and an immensely influential force. No wonder this fellow dared to speak so disrespectfully. Yet even being from the Four Divine Temple, provoking him would still lead to only one outcome.
“Never thought the pure and detached little princess could show such a feminine side! I must say, I’m somewhat envious of the pretty boy behind you!”
Li Hun’s lips curled with disdain. As a member of the Four Divine Temple, everything he desired—be it possessions or women—usually became his, with one exception: the celestial beauty standing before him.
“What? Are you wishing to be the pretty boy too? I’m afraid you don’t even have the qualifications. With that idiotic face of yours, don’t expect others to treat you like a normal person!”
It wasn’t that Xiao Yufan lacked patience—it was simply unnecessary. Anyone attempting to dominate him would learn the price of provoking him, a cost not just anyone could afford.
“I thought you’d forever hide behind women, but it seems you do have a bit of courage after all!”
His gaze turned even sharper. If anyone else dared speak to him this way, Li Hun would have struck them down instantly, yet he still refrained from direct confrontation. Sometimes, humiliating someone didn’t require physically defeating them.
“I simply don’t wish to stoop to the level of random strays, but if the dog insists on biting, I wouldn’t mind teaching it a lesson!”
A cold smirk curled Xiao Yufan’s lips. This fellow had quite the restraint, but Xiao Yufan would ensure he couldn’t keep up the gentleman act much longer. If it came to blows, he certainly wouldn’t back down.
“You should know that angering me brings you no benefit. Stay behind the woman’s back where you belong, and I might show restraint out of respect for Qing Ling Palace!”
Li Hun’s eyes narrowed slightly, his fury rising. He had held back merely out of consideration for Cheng Ying, but how could he possibly swallow such humiliation?
“You’re overestimating yourself. Taking you on doesn’t require involving Qing Ling Palace at all!”
Xiao Yufan naturally understood what the other was thinking, but the man had gravely underestimated him. Did he really need Qing Ling Palace to deal with someone like this? A mere novice who had just entered the innate realm wouldn’t scare him in the least. When someone tried to bully him, he always enjoyed showing them otherwise.
Stepping forward, Xiao Yufan unleashed his aura. This dog needed to be taught a lesson—and he wouldn’t hesitate even if it meant making an enemy of the Four Divine Temple.
