Chapter 2182 - Lower (3) (2/2)
The meaning of all of these was clear… If you didn't have the strength of a Dao Formation Realm expert come 80 years from now, you would be nothing but useless to the coming battle!
Without another word, the young woman vanished. It seemed she held quite some power among the five sprite youths, because the moment she left, the tense atmosphere they wafted was cut in half, a few of them even sighed in relief.
”I suggest that if when you're choosing which of us to challenge, you avoid her at all costs, or else don't blame us for the result.” He said cheekily.
It seemed like a good-mannered heads up, but the tone he used made them feel an inexplicable sense of inferiority and discomfort.
”My name is Terren, a member of the Earthen Sprites. She might be uptight, but I'm much less so.” His greedy eyes swept over the youths. ”You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours. I don't feel the need to put on airs. I'm sure you understand that since we drew the short end of the stick in receiving you all, we're pretty much bottom feeders here. Just like you all, I'm looking to make the most of my… opportunities.”
A cold chill swept up the spines of many of the young female geniuses as they hurried to avoid his invasive gaze.
”Your optimism isn't bad, Terren.” Another young man patted Terren's shoulder. ”Who among you can speak for the rest?”
True God Star cleared his throat. ”I can.”
The young man swept a glance over True God Star, but it was only when he noticed Cativa standing a half step behind him did his eyes light up.
”A fellow sprite, is it? I see, I see. You must be from the Star Clan. We were informed of your arrival.” Though this young man was speaking to True God Star, his steps were very clearly walking toward Cativa, neither had his gaze shifted from her. It was only a minor fraction of a degree difference in path, but with how high all their cultivations were, how could they not notice?
Many looked toward True God Star, wondering how he would react. Though he had three wives, everyone was well aware that Cativa was favorite. Plus, even if he liked her the least, she was still his wife! Would the mighty True God that lorded over them all lower his head?
Unfortunately, this was exactly what happened. True God Star pretended not to notice these subtle actions at all as he continued to smile amicably…
He nodded and chatted with this unnamed young man as though he couldn't tell at all that his gaze was raking over his wife's body as though he would devour her where she stood.
