Chapter 458 - He Never Changed (2/2)

“No.” Ou Yangming shook his head. He had always had a pleasant smile on his face whenever he spoke to Ni Yinghong and Jiang

room for discussion.

“Lil’ Ming, why can you go back, but I can’t?” Ni Yinghong’s eyes reddened. She uttered seriously, “Back then, you’d say that I’ll only hold you back, but can you say the same now?”

Jiang Jiumei clenched her fists and voice out too, “Elder Brother, I’m already in Extreme Grade, and I’m fully equipped with the suit you made for me. In any case, I can protect myself.”

Ou Yangming felt troubled when he looked at the beautiful ladies.

At this point, he regretted having given them full suits.

They became more powerful after being given tailored suits, so they could protect themselves better than they could before. That said, it also made them overconfident, so much so that they began to disregard dangers.

It was still fine if Jiang Jiumei acted like that. After all, she was acknowledged by the Mysterious Mirror Sect’s treasure and advanced to Extreme Grade. On the other hand, Ni Yinghong’s upgrade was opportunistic. After sharing the parasites’ mental power with Wu Hanning, their mental powers had improved to fearsome stages. Although they did not have 99 points of mental powers as Ou Yangming did, they were not too far from him.

The sudden gain of power was the exact reason Ni Yinghong was confident enough to make such a request.

Ou Yangming sighed and shook his head. “Elder Sister Ying, do you remember what I told you?”

Ni Yinghong was taken aback. She wanted to answer him, but she decided to swallow those words in the end. “I forgot.”

The young fellow was frustrated because the young lady clearly remembered it but refused to say it out loud. He glared at her and said, “Fine, I’ll say it again. Before every man in the world dies, no woman should be allowed on the battlefield!”

Subsequently, the hall was filled with a tense atmosphere. Woo Lejia and the others looked at each other and felt like they were on pins and needles.

Yes, many men were still alive, so why would women be needed on the battlefield?

Having said that, they felt uneasy when they noticed the valiant aura from Qinmiao Daoren, the princess, Ni Yinghong, and Jiang Jiumei.

Were these women still considered women?

They were probably superior to the Supreme Great Ancestors here.

Needless to say, they could not say their thoughts out loud because they might be attacked by the ladies if they did.

“Brother Ou, what are you saying?” Wu Hanning was displeased.

“You’re underestimating us, Master Ou.” Qinmiao Daoren raised her eyebrows. Ou Yangming was at a loss. When he turned and saw Woo Lejia and the others forcing smiles at him while they gloated over his misfortune, he could not help but smile bitterly.

However, he was willing to take the blame as long as Elder Sister Ying and Jiumei could stay away from the battlefield.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming opened his arms and embraced Ni Yinghong in front of everyone.

Everyone was stupefied by his bold move. In particular, the Supreme Great Ancestors from the capital were embarra.s.sed, and they quickly looked away. No matter how they reacted, it just would not seem right.

They were aware of Ou Yangming’s relations.h.i.+p between the princess, Bai s.h.i.+xue, and Ni Yinghong, but they dared not get involved.

Even though Ou Yangming had always treated Ni Yinghong differently, Woo Lejia and the others were more optimistic about Her Highness.

The imperial family’s profoundness could not be resisted by the lord of a county. Furthermore, Wu Hanning was also superior in terms of her qualities.

Perhaps Ni Yinghong had the upper hand in the early phase, but the other people were in favor of the princess if they considered the long run.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming ended up doing something like that in public. Did it not mean that he had already made his decision?

At the spur of the moment, there was a strange atmosphere in the room. n.o.body dared to look at Her Royal Highness.

Ou Yangming let go after a brief moment and whispered to Ni Yinghong, “Elder Sister Ying, wait for me.”

As soon as his voice died away, he had backed away at the speed of light.

The only one that could react in time was the big yellow dog. It had a scornful look on its face, but it followed the young fellow closely and did not leave his side.

Tears streamed down Ni Yinghong’s face at that moment as she thought, ‘Lil’ Ming is still the same person he used to be.

‘He never changed…’
