“How about that?
Jealous that my Lady is young and beautiful and has suitors, while you can’t get married off at your age and no one wants you?
I think even if you were married off, Auntie, you’d be the kind that can’t blossom or bear fruit!” Chenxiang said mercilessly to the woman.
The crowd whispered among themselves upon hearing this.
If people were surprised to learn that Mo Jiuli was a mom at 20 years old, then it was an open secret of the Haotian Continent that the Eldest Lady of the Shui Clan, Shui Qianhui, at 400 years old, had been retracted marriage proposals twice…
Chenxiang, however, was oblivious to this fact and just thought that people on this continent were generally older than them; little did he know he had guessed correctly…
Seeing the lady in the pink dress’s face turn colors in an instant, Chenxiang and the others felt greatly amused…
“Madam, this Eldest Lady Shui, Shui Qianhui, is 400 years old this year.
She once had an engagement with the Young Master from the Xuanyuan Clan, but later the Young Master from the Xuanyuan Clan retracted the proposal!
Afterward, she met and got acquainted with the Second Young Master from the Dongfang Family while traveling abroad.
He promised to marry her, but publicly retracted the proposal upon learning of her identity…” Liao Xiang carefully explained to Mo Jiuli through a whispered message.
For some reason, she had a very favorable impression of Mo Jiuli and the others…
Mo Jiuli nodded slightly, surprised by Liao Xiang’s gesture, watching as Shui Qianhui’s face across from her kept changing shades of green and red…
“Damn you, do you know who I am?” Shui Qianhui glared at Chenxiang and snapped.
Having her marriage proposals retracted was the taboo of her lifetime; no one had ever dared to bring it up in front of her before.
She didn’t want to be someone who had proposals retracted either.
Heaven knows how humiliating it was for her to have proposals retracted twice in her lifetime.
And now this damned man dared to mock her for being unwanted; it was infuriating…
“Psh, who you are is none of my concern.
I wouldn’t take you even if you were offered to me for free!” Chenxiang said disdainfully as he listened to the surrounding chattering.
“You’re seeking death!
Elder Wa, kill him for me!” Shui Qianhui ordered the old man beside her.
“Yes, Eldest Lady!” The old man responded upon hearing the order, glanced at Chenxiang, and in an instant, appeared in front of Chenxiang.
Chenxiang’s eyes flickered with surprise and he wanted to retreat, but remembering that Mo Jiuli was by his side, he stood his ground without moving.
Seeing him stand protectively by Mo Jiuli, Shui Qianhui’s face turned even uglier…
When Elder Wa reached Chenxiang, he was taken aback by Chenxiang’s lack of movement, but since he was not of the Shui Clan and only took advantage of them, serving only Shui Qianhui and no one else, he had to obey her commands…
So Elder Wa didn’t even pull out a weapon, he waved his hand and dark energy gathered in his palm, sending a close-ranged strike towards Chenxiang, filled with a scorching aura, clearly indicating that Elder Wa’s dark energy was of the Fire Attribute…
Everyone’s heart skipped a beat at this, for if the palm struck Chenxiang, he would likely not die but would certainly be skinned…
“Boom…”
A loud noise erupted as Elder Wa’s dark energy collided with something, causing him to stagger backwards two steps.
When he looked again toward his opponent, his eyes were filled with shock.
In front of Chenxiang, unbeknownst to when, a wall of trees had appeared, upheld by green vines, just in time to protect Chenxiang from Elder Wa’s strike…
Elder Wa’s dark energy hit the vine wall, only causing the vines to sway slightly, showing no sign of damage, as if mocking Elder Wa’s overestimation of his own abilities…
