Divine King of Honour

Li Yuan stared at Leng Yanran, who stood behind Xu Nian, his eyes nearly popping out.

He swore that he had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life—her stunning face, perfect figure, along with that naturally prideful demeanor, were simply the epitome of desire in a man's eyes.

Compared to her, the Oirans of the neighboring Zuihua Building were merely common and vulgar.

However, he couldn't understand how such a woman, beautiful to such an extreme, could be with Xu Nian.

"Xu Nian, why are you causing trouble in Qin Mansion? The Qin Family has already expelled you, don't tell me you still expect the Family Head to let you come back?" Li Yuan coldly huffed as he looked towards Xu Nian.

Although he was concerned about Leng Yanran behind Xu Nian, he didn't know her identity, so he could only start with Xu Nian, trying to get information indirectly about Leng Yanran's background. Discover more stories at empire

Despite being young, Xu Nian had dealt with Li Yuan before, so how could he not know what Li Yuan was thinking?

Yet he just sneered inwardly, wondering what Li Yuan's reaction would be once he knew Leng Yanran's identity and power.

With this thought, Xu Nian decided to have some fun at Li Yuan's expense as payback for the slanders he had faced before.

"Hmph, what Qin Family does has nothing to do with you; you're merely a gatekeeping dog. If you know what's good for you, step aside. Let me tell you, I'm now the number one prodigy at Qinglin Academy. See the beautiful lady behind me? She has been assigned to me by the academy as my maid," Xu Nian arrogantly retorted.

At his words, the crowd around them burst into murmurs.

"Wow, I never imagined Qinglin Academy offered such perks. To think a prodigy gets assigned such a beautiful maid!"

"Yes, it seems Xu Nian is highly valued by Qinglin Academy. Look at the maid's figure; wow, if it were me, I reckon my back would break in less than ten days."

…

Leng Yanran glared furiously at Xu Nian; she hadn't expected Xu Nian to invent such a role for her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Was he looking to die?

That was audacious!

"Master Beauty, you had agreed beforehand to listen to me," Xu Nian hurriedly transmitted his thoughts to Leng Yanran using his spiritual sense.

Leng Yanran was so irritated her teeth itched, only then remembering what she had previously said.

She glared furiously at Xu Nian but didn't lash out.

Xu Nian simply flashed an awkward smile, appearing completely harmless.

However, the happiest person at that moment was Li Yuan. Hearing that this stunning beauty was just Xu Nian's maid made him inwardly exult.

He had worried that she might be someone powerful and didn't dare to offend her.

Now knowing she was just a maid, he couldn't let this opportunity pass.

So he directly looked at Xu Nian and sneered, "Hmph, just a prodigy from the academy, yet so arrogant. You think being assigned a maid is something to be proud of? Wait and see how your maid will submit under me."

As Li Yuan spoke, his face bore a thick lascivious grin, his mind seemingly conjuring the scenario.

His guards behind him joined in the jeering, lustful smiles appearing on their faces as they covetously eyed Leng Yanran.

However, they failed to notice that in that moment, Leng Yanran's expression had turned extremely cold.

Xu Nian's eyes also narrowed. Initially, he just wanted to use Leng Yanran's identity to intimidate Li Yuan, but he didn't anticipate that Li Yuan would be so reckless as to utter such words publicly.

Although he hadn't defined his relationship with Leng Yanran, they had shared an intimate connection, and Li Yuan's words had completely ignited his killing intent.

"You're courting death, fool. I had thought to spare your life and teach you a lesson, it seems today you are destined not to survive," Xu Nian said, his gaze icy as his heart brimmed with murderous intent.

"Ha ha, spare your life? Are you joking? Even if you are a genius from Qinglin Academy, you're at most a First-star of Star Realm. Do you really think you're strong enough to defeat me?" Li Yuan laughed heartily.

His guards also started laughing along with him.

However, the next moment, Li Yuan's face stiffened as Xu Nian had appeared right in front of him.

Startled, Li Yuan hurriedly swung his fist toward Xu Nian.

Yet before his fist could hit Xu Nian, it was caught and twisted sharply by him.

"Crack!"

His arm broke instantly, and Li Yuan screamed like a slaughtered pig.

"Hmph, did you really think you could covet my woman?" Xu Nian snorted and kicked Li Yuan directly in the knee.

"Crack!"

Li Yuan's knee buckled backward, the bone piercing through the skin, stark white and frightful.

The audience outside the arena was dumbfounded and tense, completely terrified by Xu Nian's actions.

Even the guards behind Li Yuan were shocked by Xu Nian's bold move, each one frozen with their battle sabers in hand.

"Ah... what are you standing there for, come and help me!" Li Yuan quickly roared.

Upon hearing Li Yuan's command, the four guards instantly came to their senses and charged toward Xu Nian with their battle sabers.

These four guards were all Six-star Warriors with considerable status in Cloud Sea City, but in front of Xu Nian, they were mere ants.

"Hmph, seeking death!" Xu Nian snorted coldly, not even letting go of Li Yuan, and began using his fists and feet.

One punch landed on a guard's chest, blasting him thirty yards away, crashing into a distant building and creating a deep crater.

The remaining three guards fared no better, all sent flying by Xu Nian's fists and feet, lying unconscious in the craters.

The surrounding spectators were so shocked they were speechless.

At this moment, Li Yuan was also stunned, finally realizing just how powerful Xu Nian was.

"Xu... Master Xu, please spare me. I was blind and didn't recognize Taishan; I apologize to you," Li Yuan pleaded desperately, his face filled with terror.

Xu Nian let out a cold laugh, and looked at Li Yuan, "Spare you? Sure!"

After saying this, Xu Nian dropped Li Yuan and started walking towards Qin Mansion.

Li Yuan felt a sudden surge of joy, thinking Xu Nian had really let him off out of compassion, even secretly laughing at how foolish Xu Nian was.

However, Xu Nian had only taken a few steps when he suddenly turned to Li Yuan with a smile and said, "I forgot to tell you, I was lying earlier. She isn't my maid; her real identity is the Dean of Qinglin Academy, with the strength of a Marquis Level."

"Marquis Level?" Li Yuan's expression turned to stone, his mood plummeting from the clouds to the depths of hell, his neck stiff as he looked at Leng Yanran.

However, she didn't even glance at Li Yuan and followed Xu Nian towards the gates of Qin Mansion.

At the same time, another lion statue at the gates of Qin Mansion suddenly took flight, soaring into the sky before crashing down.

"Boom!"

With a tremendous noise, Li Yuan didn't even have time to scream before he was crushed into a pancake; the street was further smashed into a crater twenty meters in diameter.

The surrounding spectators were all stunned into silence, mouths agape.

Especially the man who had just spoken about breaking backs; his back was completely soaked through, nearly urinating in his pants.
