1241 Princess is Angry
Everyone was stunned by zhaoLiXin's one-eighty change, the change in his whole demeanor from indifferent-cold to gentle-loving man was mind-boggling and it happened in the blink of an eye as well. The same way with Angela and the others who also stared with their jaws dropped.
Angela watched Lory and Zhao Li Xin lovey-dovey act with an upset look. So the man has a lover, which means he has no problem interacting with women but why he's so mean to her, could it because she's not his type? Angela doesn't want to believe it, in her opinion she is every man type hence she stares at Lory with an assessing look. At the same time, the woman with straight black hair stared at Zhao Li Xin with deep interest because she recognized the language that ZhaoLiXin and Lory spoke although not completely but that was not strange. After all, the Astern language has a lot of dialects and perhaps this is one of them.
[Are you from the Xiya country?] The woman's face lit up as she spoke in Astern language.
Zhao Li Xin gave a disinterested look for a brief moment then looked away and continued to look at Lory again. The girl was disappointed by Zhao Li Xin's indifference, she thought he would be happy to meet a fellow countryman like herself. Since there weren't many people from Xiya country in this country, therefore she thought it would be great if they could become friends.
Unfortunately, Zhao Li Xin is not someone who is interested in building a relationship that does not benefit him in any way. Throughout his life, there was only one incident where he pursued a relationship purely out of curiosity that had nothing to do with his own benefit, that one time was when he met Lory in the forest.
Nora became increasingly annoyed at Zhaolixin's indifferent attitude. Never in her life had she seen anyone more arrogant than that man, so what if he was handsome, would that be useful for hunting?!
"Xuyu just ignore this guy, maybe he thinks he is too great to talk to ugly people like us, just because his appearance is slightly good he thinks he is better than other people, does he think his appearance is useful for being a hunter, anyway just leave him alone! who cares whether he dies or not!" Nora burns with outrage.
At first, Nora thought there was nothing wrong with inviting that handsome man to their group, even though he didn't look strong but he still could be useful as eye candy after they were surrounded by an ugly beast all day. Even though they already had Liam but it became tiring to share him with the other girls so why not add another handsome man but who would have thought this man's attitude is stink?
Angela softly strokes Xuyu back to comfort her "I understand you must miss your home country, that's why you are happy to meet your fellow countryman but ... unfortunately, not everyone thinks the same as you" She glanced at Zhao Li Xin to see his reaction.
But who is Zhao Li Xin? Someone who could ignore the emperor and empress wouldn't care about noisy girls, well enough he didn't press their sound acupuncture points to make them shut up or do the usual thing which beat them until they were unconscious but for Lory, he was willing to be patient.
"You know what?!" Lory dismissively raised her hand, "You've been talked to and talked to, but what exactly did my husband say? Lory's look at Liam and his female friends alternately.
Liam didn't know what happened so he turned his eyes to Angela but Angela turned her eyes to Nora for help. Nora grits her teeth in annoyance, why should she be the one to explain when it was Angela who got the idea first?! Since no one answered, Lory turned towards Zhao Li Xin, "What did you say to them, darling?" he deliberately used Harland's language so that everyone could understand.
Zhao LiXin knew what his wife wanted to do. He pinched his chin as if he was thinking hard then muttered in a low voice, "What did I say…" he pressed his lips into a thin line then sighed "I think I only said two words…yes and no, oh…I asked that girl to...uh, pay for the table...she hit it" Zhao Li Xin spoke with broken Harlandish while pointing at Nora and then pointed at the table which had an obvious crack.
Lory's face instantly her whole expression became rigid "Is that so..." she glared at Liam and his friends.
Liam was stunned, he didn't know what actually happened, but he assumed that it was Zhao Li Xin who was in the wrong, so he was shocked by Zhao Li Xin's words. Liam turned his head to Angela waiting for an explanation, but Angela lowered her guilty look, while Nora and the others were also mum their words.
"You all,—" Liam felt stricken by disappointment.
Seeing the disappointment on Liam's face Milly, the girl with green pigtails immediately defends themselves, "Liam, listen to me! this is not our fault, Angela has kindly invited him to help him but not only he doesn't appreciate our good intentions...he even ignores us, —"
"I'm wearing...this" Zhao Li Xin nonchalantly waved the earbuds at Lory.
"Oh, you wear earbuds?" Lory knows he likes to wear this when she's not around.
"Yes, Earbutt" Zhao Li Xin confirmed.
"No sweetie, it's ear - buds not butt" Lory corrects him.
Zhao Li Xin frowned not knowing what he said wrong then he repeated with a more confident "Earbutt"
"..., fine, butt it is" Lory gives up.
Lory turned her attention back to the girls who looked embarrassed. Lory could more or less guess what was happening, these girls were probably attracted to Zhao Li Xin's face therefore they asked him to join them but Zhao Li Xin, who didn't know how to exchange pleasantries or perhaps never cared to do in the first place unless he was under duressed just like what happened when he still weak and lived in imperial palace. Lory guessed Zhao Li Xin rejected their offer straightaway without giving an excuse making these girls feel offended.
However Lory still thought it wasn't Zhao Li Xin's fault, he was just being straightforward, it's not his fault the girls were too sensitive besides Zhao Li Xin had been quiet all this time even though he had been scolded incessantly in front of other people like this! when they lived in the cultivation world when did people dare to treat Zhao Li Xin like this, they all scolded Zhao Li Xin like he was nothing. Seeing how they treated Zhao Li Xin unfairly caused a flint of anger sparks inside her.
Even so, the pigtailed girl remained persistent, she still thought they were not in the wrong "But...but why can he speak nicely to us? Saying just one word after Angela spoke so much is very rude, I feel bad for Angela and Nora" she pouted her lips.
Liam sighed then stroked the girl's head dotingly implying he agreed with her. Lory watched them then rolled her eyes, "My husband only learned Harlandish about a month ago so of course, his language is still not good, so it's only natural that he can give a proper reply, do you want to hold my husband responsible for that? and why are you bothering my husband anyway, is not like he asking around to join other people group, he just sits quietly without bothering anyone else yet you all come and disturb his peaceful time and when he rejects your offer you all blamed him, you scold and accused him in front of other people to humiliated him and you think my husband is the one is rude! are you fuck*ng kidding me!" Lory berated them nonstop her beautiful face now contorted into a mask of fury.
go of anyone that bothered her husband that easily?
10:15
"No, I do not understand and I wouldn't let this go, what I want is for all of you to Everyone was silent while Zhao Li Xin's black eyes widened in awe and admiration at how eloquently his wife scolded people she didn't give her opponent a chance to talk back.
'She really good at this' Everyone in the room didn't think there was anything wrong with Lory's words, because they weren't stupid enough to not know the reason Angela approached Zhao Li Xin, and if they made an excuse because Zhao Li Xin was alone, it wasn't just Zhao Li Xin who was sitting alone in this place, why was Angela approaching him and not someone else, clearly because she thought then man was handsome!
Liam scratched his head in frustration, he was very embarrassed but what could he do if it was clearly their side who was in the wrong?
Liam scowled as he spoke to ZhaoLiXin "Miss, I...uh, sorry, this is all just a misunderstanding. I hope you understand and let this happen for once" he wanted to brush off this matter as soon as possible and leave this room immediately before he was embarrassed even more.
Lory narrowed her eyes, she knew what Liam what to do, does he think she would let go of anyone that bothered her husband that easily?
"No, I do not understand and I wouldn't let this go, what I want is for all of you to apologize to my husbands before you leave, I think that's the least you could do, don't you think?" Lory crossed her arms on her chest.
Anger welled up in his chest, Liam felt very embarrassed that a woman dared to challenge him in public, as soon as his entire face twisted in anger his eyes blazed as he glared at Lory "Miss, you better know your place when I'm still nice"
Lory grinned provocatively "Oh, what would you do if I don't?"
Liam moved forward in a threatening manner towards Lory but before he could close the distance, Zhao Li Xin took a step in front of Lory to shield Lory from Liam.
Liam's anger erupted like a volcano. He threw his fist at Zhao Li Xin's beautiful face, but Zhao Li Xin effortlessly caught Liam's fist, Liam was stunned soon after shame and anger took over him he then cast a spell, and immediately his arms were covered with flame.
Zhaolixin's eyebrows rose as his curiosity was piqued, but Liam thought Zhaolixin was frightened by his fire gift thus he got more excited he wanted to burn Zhao Li Xin's face.
"It's too late to be afraid now!" Liam threw his fist with his other hand but once again his fist was caught by Zhao Li Xin.
[Interesting] Zhao Li Xin's mouth curved into an eerie smile.
