Such words seed rather difficult for Liu Wentian to swallow with grace.
"Let do the talking," Zhu Rujiu said.
Liu Wentian turned to look at her. He couldn't deny that this raven-haired beauty had a very pleasant voice—slightly husky, yet seductive, mysterious, and distinctly feminine.
Had she been the actress in so Japanese adult film, she might have beco famous just for her voice. An absurd thought crossed Liu Wentian's mind.
"To put it simply, a man claid that I am his, and he's extrely powerful, plus quite domineering. Just a word from him, and no man in Blood Night would dare make a move on . Hence, the bet I made with Guoguo just now can't be fulfilled. Do you understand??" Zhu Rujiu was very direct.
"I don't understand," Liu Wentian raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"What don't you understand??" Zhu Rujiu was puzzled, as she thought her explanation was straightforward enough.
"Why does it matter to if n from Blood Night are too scared to pursue you? If they don't dare, that's their problem. Why do you assu I wouldn't dare??" Liu Wentian stepped closer to Zhu Rujiu, gazing aggressively at her exquisite features as if genuinely confused.
Zhu Rujiu's face turned crimson under Liu Wentian's stare, and she took a step back.
As Liu Wentian spoke, the other n's expressions darkened, including Zheng Hongtao, who also felt awkward—as he was one of Blood Night's n!
"Liu Wentian, what do you an by that?? Are you insulting us??" Zhao Mingye said angrily.
"Do you want to pass out again??" Liu Wentian looked at him and threatened directly.
"You!!" Zhao Mingye was so angry he clenched his teeth, but he didn't dare to confront Liu Wentian and instead sneered,
"Do you even know who the man claiming Zhu Rujiu as his woman is?? He's the number one genius of Blood Night, a freak of nature acknowledged all over Huaxia, on par with the top mbers of the four Great Ancient Martial Arts Families! He's ranked second on the Talents List, first among those under thirty in Blood Night, and a monstrous figure on the World Heavenly Cloud List. His nickna is Martial Madman, and taking your life would be as easy as slaughtering a chicken!!"
Liu Wentian paused, impressed by the man's list of titles, also realizing he was soone on the Heavenly Cloud List.
Zheng Hongtao had once explained the Talents List during their journey: it was a ranking of Blood Night's ten strongest, apart from the Saint King. Liu Wentian had only asked about the top ranker, so he was clueless about this second-place Martial Madman.
The number one was nad Hong Tianxing, at the Charm Later Stage, sa Realm as the Saint King, and ranking 29th on the Heavenly Cloud List—a formidable figure whose na echoed throughout Huaxia and instilled fear in other countries.
A true protector of the nation!
However, Hong Tianxing was already 39 years old. That's why Zhao Mingye specified 'under thirty' when ntioning Martial Madman just now.
Not yet 30 and already second on the Talents List, and recognized on the World Heavenly Cloud List, indeed a fearso individual.
"How strong is he??" Liu Wentian looked at Zhao Mingye.
Everyone reacted with slight contempt; they thought Liu Wentian was intimidated by Martial Madman's reputation. But after thinking about it, it didn't seem odd—even they would be scared. This wasn't just a freak, but a madman!
Zhu Rujiu's expression remained unchanged; she just averted her gaze from Liu Wentian. It was always like this—anyone interested in her would flee once they understood the existence of that domineering man.
Zhao Mingye scoffed, "What's the matter, scared?? Hmmph!! Given your background, you probably have no idea about the Talents List or the Heavenly Cloud List, right?? Well, let tell you, Wu Xiao is 28 years old but already exists at the King Martial Mid Stage and is very likely to step into the Charm Later Realm before turning 30!!"
"He said he would marry Zhu Rujiu once he reaches the Charm Later Stage. And do you know why he's called Martial Madman?? Because he's cool and ruthless, and once he goes berserk, even those in the Charm Later Stage have to steer clear of him by three streets!!"
Zhao Mingye's face bore a gloating smile, just waiting for Liu Wentian to show signs of panic.
To understand, Wu Xiao the Martial Madman was a force to reckon with across Huaxia, and compared to him, Liu Wentian's talents were like trying to rival the moon's brilliance with a candle!
Liu Wentian, upon hearing his words, was indeed sowhat startled.
Clearly, this was a truly exceptional individual.
At 28, when his fury was awakened, even those in the Charm Later Stage kept their distance.
Perhaps even the current him would not fare well against such an opponent.
No wonder simply claiming Zhu Rujiu as his woman was enough to dissuade Blood Night's younger mbers from harboring any thoughts about her.
If he hadn't received his legacy, he probably wouldn't even qualify to be aware of such a figure.
The n nearby looked at Liu Wentian, not with mockery but with a sense of helpless camaraderie.
Such a top-grade beauty was within reach, and who wouldn't have thoughts about her? The problem was that no one dared to act!
Otherwise, Martial Madman's wrath could extend to Blood Night's own, as he was truly a madman in the flesh.
"Hehe. Alright, let's leave it here for today, everyone disperse," Zheng Hongtao hurriedly said, trying to defuse the tense atmosphere.
Liu Wentian's lips curved up in amusent as he saw Zhu Rujiu preparing to leave, "Beauty, are you planning not to fulfill the bet??"
