Chapter 1572 - Jade (3) (2/2)

That uncomfortable feeling in her c.h.e.s.t grew uncontrollably. She couldn't help but think of the night she met Dyon.

'Didn't we connect very well on that night? Why is it that the barriers he had up for me are slowly being taken down by this girl? Is she really so much better than me? Aren't I more beautiful?'

Jade's heart was in turmoil. Before, she had felt that Dyon's actions were just fine. After all, even though he flirted wantonly, he only had one woman in his heart. That made Jade place him on a pedestal…

In a world where men having multiple wives was nothing special, Jade wanted to see if Dyon was worthy of her making such a sacrifice. What she didn't expect was for the man she had finally been moved by, the man whose thoughts were finally pure enough for her to open her heart to, suddenly didn't seem that special anymore.

Jade didn't believe that she was crazy for feeling these things about Dyon after just a single meeting.

After almost 19 years of life, she had interacted with so many people. In fact, she had led campaigns before, meeting all the geniuses of their entire universe. Whether it be their Crown Prince Lionel, or the Crown Prince of the Aumen Family, or even the geniuses of the grand Uidah Clan, none of them moved her.

All of them, in one way or another, had a sick and demented soul. This helped Jade close herself off from their feelings, not being moved in the least.

But Dyon was the first… He was the first to stare at her and not see a pretty face and a grand set of b.r.e.a.s.ts. He was the first to take a liking to her not for her beauty, but for her charisma and quick wittedness.

So why was this man that she had taken so long to find not allowing her in, but instead this bland Ri Acacia who had an average appearance even by human standards, let alone elvin? Why?...

Suddenly, Dyon looked toward Jade and smiled. All of the negative emotions that had been brewing floated away like a fragrant wind.

Dyon pretended not to notice the angered geniuses below. Instead, his eyes brightened when he noticed the table of beauties, causing them to giggle lightly. It was always nice to be appreciated by men as handsome as Dyon.

Dyon smiled at Jade, ”Silver-fairy… it only makes sense that you'd surround yourselves with such beauties. Seductive beauties, petite beauties, mischievous beauties… why should I fight if I could just sit here with you all?”

The beauties all seemed to turn a slight shade of red, causing the men to tremble in anger. One beauty blushing? Sure. But 5 at once? Could there be anything so unfair in the world?

Ri looked down at Dyon, shaking her head with a 'really?' expression on her face.
