1024 Pseudo Celestial 1 (1/2)
Absolute silence reigned over the iced lands. Many had to double and triple check whether they had heard correctly, however not a single one of them dared to laugh. Which one of them weren't geniuses? Which one of them didn't have keen senses? This wasn't the Presence of a person they could afford to offend lightly! Even if they believed Anak was untouchable, were they untouchable as well? If he decided to hold a grudge, what their power mean in the face of such a man?
It was at that point that everyone realized just who this man was. This was Alexandria Snow's husband! The very same man who had made a mockery of Aki Void just a few months earlier! He had completely disappeared since then, but him appearing here made perfect sense. But, why would he provoke a character like Anak?
The difference between Aki and Anak was even more exaggerated than the difference between heaven and earth. One was barely qualified to be an Emperor, coming from a 30th ranked quadrant, while the other was a God! A member of the ten most lauded geniuses of this generation before Dyon Sacharro made that number eleven!
The meaning was clear. Even if you could easily handle Aki, you were still far from being able to do anything to Anak!
As for the late arriving geniuses, their expressions were even more serious than the crowd. Not only was Ri a character powerful enough to stand on par with any one of them, the man she chose as her husband couldn't possibly be simple.
What they couldn't understand were Dyon's words. Why was he angry? What did Chrysanthemum say to offend him enough to poke at such a wasp's nest?
When they replayed the events in their heads, they remembered the Chrysanthemum had said that Anak could have any woman he wanted. Of course, that wasn't because she was magnanimous, but rather her own pride speaking. If he could conquer her, what woman couldn't he conquer?
Could it be that this masked man had a relationship with Madeleine? Is that why he was so angry? Wait… Could he be?!
No… No… That didn't make any sense. The fog barrier for the Celestial Deer Quadrant was still up. Could it be that this man was angry because Chrysanthemum said ”any woman”, which would include his own wife as well?
Thinking to this point, their lips twitched. How fiery did your temper have to be to take such a clearly innocent statement so far out of context?! Chrysanthemum was obviously referring to Madeleine, what did that have to do with you?!
Fuck, they had seen arrogant characters before. How could there be a shortage of them among such geniuses? However, this was the first time they had seen arrogance to this extent. He would definitely suffer for this.
Chrysanthemum had no intention of waiting for a response, nor was Anak going to stop her. He didn't choose his wives based on beauty, he chose them based on power! If they weren't strong enough, they couldn't be his dual cultivation partner, and thus what use did their beauty have to him? All that was important in this world was power!
