Ke’er followed suit and stood on the other side of Duan Ling Tian. She reached out and held onto Duan Ling Tian’s arm.
However, she did not lean on Duan Ling Tian’s shoulders like Li Fei did because she felt timider.
At once, Duan Ling Tian felt two fresh, fragrant aromas rush into his nose which made him relaxed and happy.
Ke’er and Li Fei’s demonstrative actions made the onlookers gaze toward the two inner island disciples with curiosity about their reactions.
The faces of the inner island disciples turned gloomy.
“Let’s go,” Duan Ling Tian called out softly to the two women beside him, and then they stepped into the air as they prepared to leave.
However, the two inner island disciples blocked their way the minute they stepped into the air.
“What are you doing?!” Li Fei shouted coldly with anger on her face.
She just wanted to find somewhere quiet and speak to her man about his experiences after being reunited with him. It was hard not to get mad when these two flies stopped them at a time like that.
Ke’er looked incensed as well.
For the first time, Duan Ling Tian looked at both the inner island disciples in the eye as while he spoke softly but in an unquestionable tone, “Get lost!”
“You’ve got quite a temper,” sneered one of the inner island disciples at Duan Ling Tian mockingly. “Boy, I want to see for myself today… How can a toy boy like you be the fiancé to both our Junior Sisters?!”
“That’s right! You’ll have to prove your strength if you intend to win these beauties,” echoed the other inner island disciple.
“What are you? He’s the man that the both of us believe in. What does that have to do with you? Why should he prove himself to you?” Li Fei sneered.
“Young Master asked you to get lost… Didn’t you hear that?” Even the usually good-tempered Ke’er had an extremely resentful expression as she glared at the two inner island disciples.
The onlookers’ gaze at the inner island disciples became weirder and weirder.
Noticing that all eyes were on them, the faces of the inner island disciples turned glum as their glares at Duan Ling Tian intensified more viciously.
“Junior Sister Li Fei, don’t say that… There are many things that you wouldn’t be aware of since you’re too involved. As bystanders, we’ll see it more clearly than you do.”
One of the inner island disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian with a cold gleam in his eyes and enunciated word for word, “This toy boy isn’t worthy of the both of you! Don’t be fooled by his appearance.”
Without waiting for a response from Li Fei, the other inner island disciple looked at Duan Ling Tian with a sneer. “You dare to ask us to get lost? I’d really like to see how good you are. Why would both the Junior Sisters fancy you and ask you to be their fiancé?”
Instantly, after the inner island disciple finished his sentence, his robe bulged. It was the constantly rising Origin Energy in his body which transformed into milky-white flames in the blink of an eye.
Once the milky-white flames appeared, it turned into a multi-colored ball of energy.
Obviously, apart from fully exerting his Origin Energy, this inner island disciple also exerted the various types of Profundities he had comprehended. He stood there majestically in all his powerful splendor.
“That’s right! I’d love to see how mighty he is too.” The other inner island disciple came to his senses and echoed. The power in his body surged and created an imposing aura.
Seeing that the two inner island disciples were prepared to attack, Li Fei’s expression changed dramatically as she threatened in a cold voice, “He’s just like us. He’s also a guest of the Hidden Fog Island. The Martial Emperor behind him won’t let you get away with it if you dare lay a finger on him!”
Although the Heaven and Earth Energy there would not form a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon because of the power emerging from them, she knew clearly in her heart that she was no match for the two inner island disciples of the Hidden Fog Island. Ke’er was no match for them either.
As for her fiancé, Duan Ling Tian was probably just there to join in the fun like them even though he could come with a Martial Emperor powerhouse.
Even if he was not there to join the fun, he would be, at most, an ordinary disciple of the Martial Emperor. There was no way he would be able to beat two Hidden Fog Island inner island disciples who were equivalent to Martial Emperor’s disciples.
She did not dare to think about being a Martial Emperor’s direct disciple.
Along the way, she and Ke’er had many fortuitous meetings, but they were only Seventh and Eighth Level Martial Monarchs. They had not even set foot into the Ninth Level Martial Monarch Stage.
Subconsciously, she did not think that her man would be much stronger than they were.
“Junior Sister Li Fei, don’t worry. We just want to spar with him. We won’t kill him.” One of the inner island disciples smiled brightly.
The more Li Fei acted that way, the more he thought that she was just nervous, and the only reason for her nerves was that she knew that her fiancé was not as strong as he was.
Those thoughts made him somewhat swollen-headed.
“Although we won’t kill him, the attacks don’t have eyes. If we accidentally destroy his Dantian, I think the Martial Emperor backing him wouldn’t say anything,” said the other disciple.
In his words, he conveyed a clear, important message. Even if he could not kill Duan Ling Tian, he would destroy his Dantian and render him useless!
In his opinion, Li Fei and Ke’er definitely would not declare him as their fiancé after the toy boy lost his cultivation base even if he was very handsome.
Then, he would have another chance to be with either Li Fei or Ke’er.
“Haha… That’s it.” The previous inner island disciple laughed wholeheartedly, pride filling his laughter.
“You dare?!” At that moment, Li Fei and Ke’er let go of Duan Ling Tian’s shoulder in unison. They took a step forward and stood in front of him to shield him behind them.
“Anyone who wants to hurt my man must step over my dead body!” The Origin Energy around Li Fei’s body surged as a variety of Profundities followed like a shadow. She stared coldly at the two inner island disciples and showcased her heroism.
Even though Ke’er did not say a word, but her actions undoubtedly showed that her intentions were in line with Li Fei’s words.
All of a sudden, someone could not help but call out, “Winner in life! A winner in life! That Duan Ling Tian is absolutely a winner in life!” His tone was filled with envy from the depths of his heart.
Most of the people around them who were observant recalled Duan Ling Tian’s name when he introduced himself to Xu Rong, so they knew his name.
“He’s indeed a winner in life… Not only does he have two gorgeous ladies as his fiancées, but both of them were even willing to die for him!”
“It’s already a blessing from his past life’s cultivation to be able to meet a woman like that… And he has two! I’m so envious!”
…
All the men in the crowd were green with envy while they stared at Duan Ling Tian. An acrid flame called jealousy was burning in their hearts.
Since Li Fei and Ke’er decided to stand in front of Duan Ling Tian and protect him, looking as if they were ready to fight as their lives depended on it, the faces of the two inner island disciples turned extremely morose.
Would they dare to kill Li Fei and Ke’er?
The answer was apparent: definitely not.
If they were in a remote place, they might be able to kill them and prevent the Martial Emperor behind Li Fei and Ke’er from learning about what they had done.
However, with so many onlookers right now, they would not dare to kill Li Fei and Ke’er even if they were given a hundred doses of courage.
They looked at each other and saw the affliction in their eyes.
However, one of their eyes quickly lit up as if he had thought of a strategy.
Li Fei and Ke’er’s face sank when they saw their gazes.
Although they did not know what their opponent was plotting against them, they could not help but worry about it.
The inner island disciple whose eyes lit up stared at Duan Ling Tian in the first instance then he exclaimed and mocked sharply, “Oh damn… you really are a toy boy! You’re destined to hide behind women for the rest of your life, depending on them to survive.”
As if they had discussed it, the other inner island disciple taunted, “If I were you, I’d dig a hole and hide. I wouldn’t embarrass myself like this, like a man!”
“If I must say, he isn’t a man at all,” the former continued saying in agreement.
While the two inner island disciples spoke, Li Fei and Ke’er turned more and more sullen.
“Rascal, ignore them.”
“Yes, Young Master… They’re provoking you on purpose! Just ignore them.” reminded the two women instantly as they turned to look at Duan Ling Tian.
Although the two inner island disciples were indeed deliberately provoking Duan Ling Tian, the eyes of the crowd also landed on him in unison. These gazes were either ironic or mocking or disdain or scornful. No one would look up to a man who hid behind women!
“Coward!”
“Trash!”
The two inner island disciples added to the fire as if they were anxious to see chaos erupt.
Contempt filled their gazes towards Duan Ling Tian.
“You’re the only one who can be a man until such a stage.”
“If it were up to me, you might as well hide under their skirts… You’d be safer like that.”
…
The two inner island disciples saw Duan Ling Tian standing there while his face remained indifferent after a while. They were even motivated as they took turns to mock Duan Ling Tian and trample on his dignity.
They only had one purpose in mind: to provoke Duan Ling Tian! Let him take the initiative to attack them!
Then, they would have the chance of destroying Duan Ling Tian’s Dantian and completely make him useless.
“The two of you… that enough barking from the two of you.” Finally, Duan Ling Tian made a move under everyone’s watchful eyes. He slowly reached his little finger out and picked his ears with it while saying casually, “It’s my first time seeing dogs that can bark for so long.”
As he spoke, he emphasized the word “dogs”.
Wow!
He blew the world away with a single sentence and caused an uproar among the onlookers.
Those scornful eyes which were on Duan Ling Tian originally shifted, falling on the two inner island disciples as if they want to see how would they would react.
After all, they were degraded as if they were dogs!
