"Don’t say anymore. Haven’t I already told you before that I have someone I like? Is there any point in you still saying these things?" Li Meng’er said loudly, speaking that way because she was afraid someone wouldn’t hear her.

Hearing this, Ye Xiu smiled.

"Li Meng’er, don’t try to deceive me with such words. I know you are single, and an excellent woman like you wouldn’t choose someone with less talent than you as your other half.

I’ve looked at your Jidao Imperial Court, and only that Li Qiye, who is less than eighteen years old, has decent talent. As for the others, I can’t agree with them. I don’t believe you would find a younger brother, do you?" Ye Xiu spoke as if he already knew Li Meng’er’s trick.

Li Meng’er also smiled, then said:

"Are you so confident that I won’t find anyone? Then what if I tell you that person is in the Jidao Imperial Court, and right here? Do you still believe me?"

Hearing Li Meng’er’s words, Ye Xiu smiled and shook his head, then raised his hand, gesturing for Li Meng’er to bring out the person she liked for him to see.

He knew Li Meng’er was just making an excuse. He didn’t believe there was any man in this world more excellent or stronger than himself and Li Meng’er.

Li Meng’er turned her head, looked at Wang Yufan, who was leisurely basking in the sun, and slowly raised her hand, pointing in Wang Yufan’s direction.

Just then, someone in the crowd shouted loudly:

"Help! My goddess Li Meng’er actually has someone she likes! Who is he?"

This loud voice instantly pulled a portion of the spectators back from their thoughts about Liu Wuxie and Ye Lingtian’s battle.

"What’s wrong? What happened? I was just watching Lord God Emperor Ye and that old man from the Jidao Imperial Court fight, so I didn’t notice what happened here. Can anyone tell me what happened?" The man looked around, then pulled the nearest disciple towards him.

"You tell me."

The disciple could only briefly explain what had just happened. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the man directly shouted:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

More and more people noticed Li Meng’er’s words. They didn’t know what had just happened, but after inquiring, they all looked in shock at Wang Yufan, who was lying on the chair.

"No, this kid... isn’t he the young man Lord God Emperor Ye wanted to drive away yesterday? He’s not from the Jidao Imperial Court. He actually managed to charm the saintess of the Jidao Imperial Court, Li Meng’er!

Yes, I admit he is indeed more handsome than me. If we only consider appearance, he does match Li Meng’er very well. But I can’t feel any spiritual energy fluctuations from him. Either he’s far more powerful than me, or he’s just an ordinary person who hasn’t cultivated."

"Hmm, this old man just tried it. That young man is an ordinary person. This old man is in the early True Immortal Realm, and if this old man can’t sense anything, then he must be an ordinary person. This old man wouldn’t dare believe his strength is that of a God King or even a higher God Emperor," an elder from the Tianlong Imperial Court said.

Hearing what this elder from the Tianlong Imperial Court said, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief. This put their minds at ease. The Li Meng’er they had just come to know wasn’t actually in love with another man; she was just using this pretense to drive Ye Xiu away.

Of course, when Ye Xiu heard Li Meng’er’s words, he also found it very amusing. There was no need to say such things, and to casually pick someone to try and fool him. Ye Xiu had already decided to win Li Meng’er over. Ever since Li Meng’er’s ghost mask fell off, he had already recognized Li Meng’er in his heart.

However, while he was thinking, Li Meng’er flew directly towards Wang Yufan and landed beside him.

"What did you just say? Say it again?" Wang Yufan said to Li Meng’er.

At this moment, Li Meng’er saw Wang Yufan’s face, and her heart pounded, feeling completely at a loss.

"I... I just..."

Before Li Meng’er could finish speaking, Wang Yufan gave a mischievous smile and then said, "Do you want me to cooperate with you to get rid of that kid, or do you want that kid to cause me trouble?"

Hearing Wang Yufan say this, Li Meng’er’s face flushed even more. She didn’t know what to say.

Ye Xiu, standing on the arena, saw Li Meng’er blushing beside Wang Yufan, and he could tell something was amiss. He now felt that Li Meng’er must have been telling the truth, otherwise such an expression couldn’t be faked.

He scrutinized Wang Yufan, then said loudly:

"Who exactly are you? What right do you have to make Li Meng’er like you?"

Hearing Ye Xiu’s words, Wang Yufan was stunned, then his eyes shifted to look at Li Meng’er beside him. He thought to himself:

"Well, don’t blame me then. Whether what you said is true or false, this kid has provoked me, and I’m going to make him uncomfortable." As Wang Yufan thought this, a large hand directly pulled Li Meng’er’s slender waist into his embrace.

After pulling Li Meng’er into his embrace, Wang Yufan looked directly at Ye Xiu’s widened eyes and then squeezed Li Meng’er’s soft buttocks.

With that squeeze, Wang Yufan felt a ripple of emotion within him.

"Holy crap, this is too tempting. amitabha, I can’t take it anymore. No wonder people say love between men and women is as deep as the sea. I just squeezed once and it’s like this. Then..." Wang Yufan didn’t dare to think further.

His eyes just stared at Ye Xiu. What Wang Yufan didn’t know was that Li Meng’er, in his arms, felt as if she had been electrocuted, from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Li Meng’er stared intently at Wang Yufan, her eyes wide like copper bells.

Li Meng’er didn’t know why Wang Yufan suddenly acted this way. Didn’t he say she wasn’t suitable? Why was he treating her like this now? Was it to force Ye Xiu to retreat? Then her sacrifice was too great, being touched on the butt by a man.

But she was truly moved by the man holding her. Li Meng’er didn’t resist and just kept staring at Wang Yufan.

"Hey, kid, did you see clearly now? Everything she just said is true, so don’t overthink it."
