"Shut up!"
Huo Wu's beautiful eyes shot up when she heard Feng Xiaotian was about to bad-mouth Luo Yu.
"Don't you dare talk about my Brother Yu."
"Who I like is my freedom."
"You can leave now!"
Feng Xiaotian clutched his chest, a pained expression on his face.
The goddess he'd been yearning for, who never gave any man the time of day, was unexpectedly defending a cripple so fervently.
"What's so good about this guy that you'd do this for him?"
Huo Wu enunciated each word clearly, "He is better than you in every way."
Feng Xiaotian shook his head repeatedly, unable to accept this reality.
Taking a deep breath, he avoided Huo Wu's gaze and took a step at a time towards Luo Yu.
"Hmph!"
Bi Bidong, the A'yin Sisters, and A Wu, the four mature beauties, all stepped forward at once, coldly watching Feng Xiaotian.
"What... What's going on here?"
Feng Xiaotian was stunned. Although three of the women before him were veiled with black gauze, their graceful figures and the subtle aura they exuded were unmistakable.
He could tell that the women were anything but ordinary.
Then he saw the many pretty girls standing behind Luo Yu, and Feng Xiaotian was dumbfounded.
So many stunning beauties, each with looks and charm not inferior to Huo Wu, how could they all be gathered behind this cripple.
"Huo Wu... who are they..."
Seeing so many beautiful women for the first time in his life, Feng Xiaotian's mind went blank, forgetting all he had planned to say.
Huo Wu said disdainfully, "They are all Brother Yu's women."
"What?"
Feng Xiaotian's pupils dilated sharply, his head buzzing, as he stammered.
"They... They all belong to one person???"
"Brother Yu... who is... how impressive?"
Huo Wu was about to speak when Luo Yu held out his hand to stop her.
His gaze fell on Feng Xiaotian, and with a smile playing on his lips, he said with amusement:
"Hello, I'm afraid I'm the one you're talking about, Brother Yu."
The storm of shock in Feng Xiaotian's mind had not yet subsided, his eyes widened, and he swallowed hard.
"These are all your women?"
Luo Yu said blankly, "Yes, is there a problem?"
Feng Xiaotian's heart gave a violent jerk.
A problem?
There was a huge problem!
He was, after all, the Five Elements Academy's recognized genius with innate full soul power.
Pursuing Goddess Huo Wu had been an arduous task, and his love was unrequited.
And this guy? Sitting in a wheelchair,
had he seduced more than a dozen beauties?
And each one was a peerless beauty, capable of rivaling or even surpassing Huo Wu?
Feng Xiaotian dug his nails hard into his palm.
The sensation of pain barely brought him back from his dazed shock.
He looked at Luo Yu repeatedly.
He wasn't a fool. Could a man who managed so many superb beauties at once be simple?
There must be something behind this.
Seeing the goddess he admired wrapping her arms around another man, Feng Xiaotian naturally felt unpleasant, with a hysterical urge to rage.
But noticing something odd about Luo Yu's situation, his brain unexpectedly cleared a bit.
Instead of resorting to force, he smirked and turned to Huo Wu.
"Huo Wu, since this gentleman has so many girlfriends by his side,"
"Don't you mind it?"
He thought his ploy of sowing discord would be very effective, as to his knowledge, Huo Wu was prideful.
Sharing a husband with other women was something she would surely find intolerable.
But Huo Wu's reply totally shattered his composure.
"I don't mind at all."
Huo Wu replied without hesitation.
"As long as the other sisters don't despise me, I am very content with that."
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion seemed to go off in Feng Xiaotian's head, leaving him dizzy and weak all over.
A surge of bitterness rose in his heart.
Was this the high-and-mighty, fiercely independent Goddess Huo Wu I had in mind?
Why was she now being so proactive in front of another man.
It was as if she were a …
Lick...
"Is it not good to be mine, Feng Xiaotian's, and only mine?"
"Must you compete with so many women for an ordinary-looking man in a wheelchair?"
Feng Xiaotian said, "Before I go, I have two things to say."
"No, you don't." Huo Wu shook her head.
Luo Yu patted Huo Wu's small hand and said, "Let him speak."
"Okay." Huo Wu nodded obediently.
At this scene, Feng Xiaotian's heart clenched again.
He suppressed his sourness and looked steadily at Luo Yu.
"Brother, Huo Wu likes you, so there must be something special about you. I, Feng Xiaotian, am not someone who can't accept defeat."
"But—"
His eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"I want to know where I lost."
"The goddess of my dreams ended up with another man, and it frustrates me."
"I worked so hard, and my strength is indeed the strongest in all five academies, so why, how could I lose to you?"
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow and countered, "Want to know?"
"Yes." Feng Xiaotian nodded repeatedly.
Luo Yu smiled.
"It's obviously because—"
"A licking dog won't get a house."
"What does that mean?" Feng Xiaotian was bewildered.
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed; you'll have to slowly ponder it on your way back."
Luo Yu laughed without a word, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.
"You're insulting me???" Feng Xiaotian suddenly jerked wide-eyed.
He didn't understand the part about the house, but he knew what a licking dog meant.
Luo Yu sighed, "I didn't insult you. I was simply stating a fact, offering you a piece of golden advice."
Feng Xiaotian's face was dark with anger.
"I won't say much more, see you on the field."
"If you can defeat me, Feng Xiaotian, then whatever you say will be right."
"If you lose, please return Huo Wu to me."
Luo Yu rolled his eyes.
"Look at that, treating a woman as a betting chip."
"Which woman would love you?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Huo Wu's eyes.
"This..."
Feng Xiaotian's mouth hung open, speechless.
Luo Yu shook his head helplessly, imparting advice with earnest emphasis, "Do you think this is like bandits abducting the chieftain's wife?"
"That sheer strength is all that matters?"
"When pursuing a woman, having just strength isn't enough; you need wisdom, understand?"
Feng Xiaotian unconsciously nodded, then quickly shook his head.
His fists clenched tightly, he was seething with anger.
"You must be afraid to fight me."
"So you're here spouting nonsense to trick me."
"Huh?"
Luo Yu's eyebrows rose, amused.
He had merely intended to offer some advice to this pitiful guy to help him escape the suffering of being a licking dog.
And now he was being accused of cowardice?
Feng Xiaotian declared firmly:
"Huo Wu, I will definitely defeat this guy in front of you."
"Let's wait and see!"
With that, he quickly left the heartbreaking spot, hurrying away.
He completely missed the odd looks on the faces of the women remaining there.
Worried about Luo Yu's misunderstanding, Huo Wu hurriedly explained, "Brother Yu, I really have nothing to do with him..."
Luo Yu waved his hand, utterly unconcerned.
"It's okay, you don't need to explain, I know there's nothing between you."
"I believe you."
With that one sentence from Luo Yu, Huo Wu's eyes trembled, and her delicate body softened instantly.
Bi Bidong stepped forward and said, "Let's go, it's time. We should head in."
The group entered the arena.
Luo Yu, a man, brought with him so many peerlessly beautiful women, quickly causing a sensation inside the venue...
