"I..." Chu Mo wanted to refuse, not wanting to get Hu Lie into trouble. On the message board, he had already seen that not only does Shangguan Nan have an astonishing background, but he is also the third most powerful in the Human Layer!
There is no reason for Hu Lie to make such an enemy without cause.
"Enough!" Hu Lie glared at Chu Mo, gripping his arm and walking on, reprimanding him as they went, "You're a grown man and you're acting like an old woman. All you're doing is meeting him, no one's asking you to say a word!"
"I don't want to mess things up for her..." Chu Mo said weakly.
"Where is the might you showed when you claimed her as your wife just now?" Hu Lie asked.
"But what can I do for her now?" Chu Mo smiled bitterly.
"The prophecies of the Elf Clan are unparalleled in the world! Do you think she came to find you in the Mortal Realm for no reason? If she can find you, it means you must be able to help them!" Hu Lie stated confidently.
"Really?" Chu Mo was somewhat skeptical.
"That's what I heard!" Hu Lie proudly declared.
"..." Chu Mo was at a loss for words.
"I heard it from an elder in my clan! Do you think he lied to me because he had nothing better to do?" Hu Lie glared at Chu Mo.
Having already taken hold of Chu Mo, he marched straight out and randomly grabbed a waiter from the inn to ask, "Where is Shangguan Nan's room?"
The waiter was scared out of his wits, looking at Hu Lie fearfully, "I... I don't know."
Hu Lie casually tossed the waiter aside and turned back to Chu Mo, "I misspoke earlier. You aren't the weakest in the Illusionary God Realm!"
Chu Mo looked at the waiter, whose entire body radiated a powerful aura yet was trembling like a leaf in the wind. He said nothing, his mouth twitched slightly.
Hu Lie stood there, his eyes bulging in fury, and roared, "Shangguan Nan, Brother heard you were here and wanted to have a drink with you!"
Boom!
His roar was akin to a tiger's roar.
It caused the entire inn to shiver slightly, but very soon, a regulative force stabilized the inn.
This was the law of the Illusionary God Realm, the prohibition of fighting within the Illusionary God City was not just for show.
Shangguan Nan, who had been introducing delicious dishes in the inn to Qi Xiaoyu, showed astonishment upon hearing this roar. His mouth twitched violently.
He had said a moment before that even if the tiger was drunk, it wouldn't come to him. And yet, in no time at all, it came looking for him.
Normally, it was nothing serious. They were all young powers ranked in the top ten, so he would have given face. But right now, with Fairy Yun Meng, Fairy Caidie, and Qi Xiaoyu, an elf maiden he had his eye on present, Hu Lie's shouting did irk him a bit. However, it was not appropriate for him to lose his cool in public.
That would only make the women present think less of him.
Shangguan Nan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Six zero five, Brother Hu Lie, please stop shouting. I am here."
His tone was gentle, sounding just and peaceful, hinting no irritation.
Even Chu Mo showed a somewhat surprised expression, looking at Hu Lie, "Are you friends with him?"
Hu Lie smiled vaguely, "Not really."
Having said that, he led Chu Mo straight up to the sixth floor.
When they arrived at the door of room 605, Hu Lie didn't knock, but just pushed the door and walked in.
Chu Mo followed behind Hu Lie, feeling nervous all the way, wondering what it would be like to come face-to-face with Qi Xiaoyu.
However, the moment Hu Lie pushed open the door, Chu Mo's heartbeat that had been erratically pounding, suddenly calmed down.
He can't lose face in front of his own wife!
Chu Mo bravely lifted his head, looking towards the absolutely stunning girl seated there. At this moment, she was the only one in his eyes.
Aside from her, no one else could hold his attention!
Qi Xiaoyu curiously glanced at Hu Lie, who appeared slightly drunk, before shifting her gaze from him to Chu Mo.
For some reason, her heart noticeably skipped a beat, as if something had struck her heart.
However, this was only a fleeting moment. Qi Xiaoyu didn't know what was happening, she didn't know this young man at all and didn't have any impression of him.
Love at first sight was something she absolutely did not believe in, especially since she deeply resisted romantic feelings between men and women.
Elf Clan women were extremely chaste. In their hearts, only the Elf God could be their true love!
Any thoughts about other people were perceived as a disgrace to the Elf God.
When Elf Clan women reached childbearing age, all of them would bathe in the waters of the Life Pool and then... they would naturally become pregnant and give birth to beautiful girls.
So, for any Elf Clan woman, they only have one husband... that is the Elf God!
From ancient times till now, while there have been Elf women who have intermarried with outsiders, without exception, any Elf woman who did so was exiled from the Elf Clan.
The ancient departure of the Elf Clan from the Heavenly Realm to the Spirit Realm also seems vaguely related to this matter...
As the princess of the Elf Clan, Qi Xiaoyu naturally could not commit such a taboo, so she suppressed that sudden flutter in her heart and shifted her gaze elsewhere.
All of this happened in an extremely short span of time, giving people the impression that Qi Xiaoyu, the Elf Clan woman, was exceedingly arrogant and dismissive of anyone, including Chu Mo.
Chu Mo's heart ached slightly, and he quickly lowered his head.
Shangguan Nan did not notice Chu Mo's unusual behavior. Instead, his attention was primarily focused on Hu Lie.
However, Fairy Caidie and Fairy Yun Meng, who were on the side, were giving Chu Mo a somewhat strange look. As extraordinarily gorgeous women themselves, they were not inferior to the Elf Clan girl in terms of appearance or temperament, and even surpassed Qi Xiaoyu in some respects.
For instance, Fairy Yun Meng had a very tempting figure.
The pair of wings on Fairy Caidie's back were also very eye-catching.
But the handsome young man who came in with Hu Lie didn't even give them a glance. From the moment he entered, his sight was fixed on Qi Xiaoyu.
Moreover, women are usually very sensitive to such emotionally charged gazes, so the two women didn't look at Hu Lie at first, but instead took a keen interest in Chu Mo.
"Hahaha, I heard Brother Shangguan was here, my brother and I got bored drinking, so we thought we'd come and join the fun, if... Brother Shangguan doesn't mind?" Hu Lie asked, seemingly oblivious to the awkward atmosphere in the room, looking at Shangguan Nan with a smile.
At this moment, it seemed as if a thousand beasts were roaring across Shangguan Nan's vision. He was quite annoyed, of course he would mind!
Hu Lie's intentions for coming here were clear to him. He must have been drawn by the Elf Clan girl!
The number one in the Bloodline Strength List!
This old tiger... if he didn't come here because he smelled something fishy, Shangguan Nan did not believe it!
However, no matter how smart Shangguan Nan was, he would never expect that the one who truly wanted to meet Qi Xiaoyu was not Hu Lie, but rather the Human Clan young man beside Hu Lie whom he had no interest in giving a second glance… Chu Mo!
