Chapter 808 - 737: Jealous?

Chapter 808: Chapter 737: Jealous?

"Brother Tang, thank you so much for condescending to come to X City to help me. Otherwise, this mess would really give me a massive headache."

Luo Ziyun glanced at him and gave a faint smile.

Although the Skeleton Mountain ruins in X City had vanished, there were still too many matters left to handle.

Dressed in cyan robes, Tang Le carried an extraordinary bearing. Every movement he made exuded an aura of scholarly refinement.

"Lord Luo, you are too polite. It is my honor to work alongside you," Tang Le said with a touch of humor. "You probably don’t know this, but with Lord Luo’s current prestige, who knows how many top experts on the Heavenly Rankings are dying to come to X City."

The most crucial point was that this legendary woman was not only beautiful but also formidably strong.

She was the ultimate prize.

The closing of the Skeleton Mountain ruins in X City had draped her in an even more mysterious and majestic aura.

It could be said that Luo Ziyun, an ancient Cultivator, currently possessed an unmatched limelight within the human Martial Cultivation Realm.

She was a goddess standing at the very pinnacle of the pyramid.

"Brother Tang, you surely know how to joke." Luo Ziyun smiled as the two of them entered the inn.

SWISH!

Spatial ripples fluctuated as Tu Xiao’an abruptly appeared in front of the laughing and chatting duo.

Hmm?

"Who is it?" Tang Le immediately furrowed his brows, locking his gaze on Tu Xiao’an.

"Xiao’an," Luo Ziyun called out in surprise, startled by his eerie entrance.

"Call me hubby," Tu Xiao’an said flatly, his face dark and gloomy.

She knew he was at the inn, yet she dared to bring another man back. What was the meaning of this?

The moment these words came out, Tang Le stood beside her, dumbfounded.

Was this legendary ancient Cultivator already spoken for? He hadn’t heard anything about this.

Hearing this, Luo Ziyun’s face flushed red with embarrassment. Glaring beautifully at him, she said, "Stop messing around. Let me introduce you. The man beside me is Tang Le, a High Rank War God from the official Heavenly Rankings. He was dispatched from above to X City to assist me with everything, and he is now the Deputy Director of the Demon Management Bureau."

"Oh, hello Xiaotang," Tu Xiao’an said with a mild, indifferent nod.

Xiaotang? Tang Le was utterly dumbstruck. This guy had some serious nerve!

However, Tu Xiao’an didn’t introduce himself. Instead, he looked at Luo Ziyun. He was waiting for her to introduce him.

Considering how many years Luo Ziyun had lived, how could she not see right through Tu Xiao’an’s petty little thoughts?

"Brother Tang, this is my fiancé, Tu Xiao’an."

Tu Xiao’an smiled. He thought, "Hmm, very good. At least you know what’s good for you."

Calling him her fiancé was quite fitting. One of these days, he would bring Luo Ziyun back to the Snake Palace to meet his mother.

Upon hearing Luo Ziyun’s introduction, Tang Le violently gasped, looking at the handsome young man before him in astonishment.

To be the fiancé of this legendary goddess, the other party’s identity had to be absolutely extraordinary.

The key point was that despite knowing he was a High Rank War God, this guy still dared to call him Xiaotang. He clearly had plenty of confidence.

Yet, as Tang Le carefully sized up the man in front of him, he realized he had never seen or heard of him before. Furthermore, judging by his aura, he couldn’t see through the man’s true depth at all. He was either far too strong, or simply way too weak.

Tang Le’s refined expression stiffened slightly as he cursed inwardly. Why else would a High Rank War God like him condescend to become a mere Deputy Director in X City?

Naturally, it was because he wanted the advantage of being close to her. If he could win over a woman like this, it would become a legendary romance within the Martial Cultivation Realm.

Yet, to his dismay, an extraordinary woman like Luo Ziyun was already spoken for.

Tang Le cursed inwardly, wondering what exactly Goddess Luo saw in this pretty boy in front of him. He had a big mouth, but he didn’t look like much.

"Hello, hello. To think you are actually Lord Luo’s fiancé! I wonder if you are affiliated with the government, or perhaps a member of some great Martial Cultivation family? Please forgive my ignorance for never having heard your esteemed name." Tang Le spoke with a chuckle, deciding it was best to figure out the other party’s background first.

Under the heavens, there were likely very few people who could afford to completely disregard a High Rank War God like him.

"I’m just a nobody, not worth mentioning," Tu Xiao’an shook his head, suddenly acting modest.

Oh?

"Brother Tu sure knows how to joke. How could a mere nobody ever be a match for Lord Luo, wouldn’t you agree?" Tang Le said casually, as if making a joke, though a sharp glint flickered in his eyes.

A formless pressure quietly shrouded Tu Xiao’an.

Had it been any ordinary Martial Cultivator, their heart would have been racing, their legs trembling, and their eyes filled with terror under the pressure of a High Rank War God.

Yet, Tu Xiao’an merely shrugged with perfect composure. "There’s nothing to be done if I’m not a match. Who asked her to insist on following a nobody like me?"

Saying this, Tu Xiao’an cast a mild glance at Luo Ziyun.

Luo Ziyun offered a faint smile. Walking slowly up to him, she wrapped her hands around his arm, putting on the appearance of a demure, affectionate little woman.

Heh, men!

Tang Le was instantly dumbfounded, as if he had just been whacked over the head with a club. As a result, the gaze he leveled at Tu Xiao’an gradually filled with a trace of dread.

A mere nobody had actually managed to tame this legendary woman into being so docile?

This Lord Luo was supposedly famously as cold as frost, always keeping people at a distance. Yet her current behavior was truly jaw-dropping. No one would even believe it if word got out.

"Xiaotang, your complexion doesn’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell? If you’re unwell, you should go back and rest." With a slight curve of his lips, Tu Xiao’an essentially issued an order for their guest to leave.

Tang Le’s expression immediately stiffened. He was being chased away just like that?

This was a bit too arrogant, wasn’t it? He looked at Luo Ziyun, waiting for her to state her position.

However, she actually kept her head resting against the man’s shoulder, showing no intention of speaking up. It was as if whatever her fiancé said, went.

"Head back. Forgive me for not seeing you out," Tu Xiao’an waved his hand.

Tang Le looked utterly bewildered. Having just arrived in X City, he didn’t have a place to stay. Coming with Luo Ziyun meant he was supposed to stay at her inn. Where exactly was he supposed to go back to?

Luo Ziyun finally spoke up at this moment. "Brother Tang, I almost forgot. I’ll have someone arrange a room for you."

"The inn is fully booked today. There are no rooms left," Tu Xiao’an said lightly.

Luo Ziyun shot Tu Xiao’an a glance. Her lips moved slightly as she sent a telepathic transmission, "That’s enough from you. He came to help me; don’t make him lose too much face."

"This guy has impure motives and ill intentions. He clearly has designs on you," Tu Xiao’an replied telepathically.

"That’s his business. What does it have to do with me? Xiao’an, are you getting jealous?"

"As if he’s worthy of making this Snake Emperor jealous. However, I’m going to leave X City soon. Before I go, I might as well swat away any annoying flies for you."

Beautiful women were always easily coveted by others, especially an extraordinary woman like Luo Ziyun.

A grand High Rank War God was more than qualified to be the Director of a city branch. Why would he come here just to be a deputy? His ulterior motives couldn’t be more obvious.

"Lord Luo, it seems this fiancé of yours doesn’t exactly welcome me." Tang Le, dressed in spotless cyan robes and standing at a full 1.8 meters tall, suddenly radiated a commanding aura.

Even if the other party had an extraordinary background, he wasn’t someone to be easily bullied either. Since when was a High Rank War God treated with such disrespect? If he just walked away like this, his reputation would be in ruins.

"Brother Tang, I’m sorry. Since the inn is full, it’s not convenient for me to host you. We’ll see each other at work tomorrow."

Knowing that Tu Xiao’an was leaving, Luo Ziyun naturally wanted to ask him about it. With an outsider present, it wouldn’t be convenient to talk.

Uh...!

Tang Le hadn’t expected Luo Ziyun to deny him face like this, indulging her fiancé to such an extent.

He burned with anger, finding it absolutely detestable!
