I Am Overlord

Chapter 1425: Shaoyun, You're Too Dull

No respect given. Those three words basically summed up Xiang Shaoyun's attitude. Just what kind of a proud genius was Fairy Zi Xiang? It was rumored that she wasn't even 100 years old yet but was already a late-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator. There was no doubting her talent in cultivation.

One ought to know that the higher one's cultivation, the longer one needed to accumulate one's strength to grow. Even with the support of the best of treasures, it would still be difficult for one to advance too quickly. Only with exceptional talent and enough resources would one be able to continue advancing smoothly.

Fairy Zi Xiang came from a mysterious superpower that stood above many other organizations. That placed her above many of her peers as well. Someone like her had been treated with complete indifference by Xiang Shaoyun, shocking all the Saints present. All the Saints felt that Xiang Shaoyun was way too arrogant. Could he disregard everyone just because he had forged the ultimate combat physique?

Even the second prince started talking on behalf of Fairy Zi Xiang. "Shaoyun, Fairy Zi Xiang represents the Immortal Road Chamber. She never makes use of her looks to achieve her goals. She ca—"

However, Xiang Shaoyun interrupted him and said, "I never befriend beauties. The only sort of relationship I will have with a beauty is making her my woman."

That rendered the second prince speechless.

Fairy Zi Xiang's eyes flickered as she flashed a bright smile and said, "If Shaoyun wants, Zi Xiang is willing to become your woman."

"Hehe, I think I have about eight or ten women already. Are you sure?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

This time, it was Fairy Zi Xiang's turn to be rendered speechless. She wouldn't confidently claim that she was the prettiest woman under the sky, but countless men had fallen for her. As for this young man, he had repeatedly ridiculed her and seemed completely unaffected by her beauty. She even wondered if she had grown ugly recently.

However, she had strong willpower and was able to quickly recover her calm. She said, "In the imperial city, everyone knows that you have taken the first place on the Saintly Forest Ranking. After taking an attack from the imperial teacher without suffering defeat, you have become the strongest king of Saints. I believe many organizations will come recruiting.

"Zi Xiang is untalented, but I still hope that you can join the Immortal Road Chamber. We are willing to appoint you as one of our fairies. With our help, you will achieve the supreme dao and enjoy endless wealth. All beauties of the world will be for your picking. A God Realm expert will also be appointed as your dao guardian, helping you in your path to the top. What do you think of our offer?"

Fairy Zi Xiang no longer wanted to keep beating around the bush, so she went straight to the point. The Immortal Road Chamber, Guangling Palace, and Celestial Alliance were the most mysterious superpowers in the dominion. Nobody knew their exact locations, and nobody knew just how strong they really were. However, a casual action by any of them could cause the entire dominion to shake. One could see just how terrifying they were.

The second prince looked at Xiang Shaoyun with envy. If he was given the same offer, he would agree without a second thought.

However, Xiang Shaoyun was not one to give up his freedom. Like how he rejected the Celestial Alliance, he rejected Fairy Zi Xiang. "Thank you for the offer, but I'm not interested in joining any organization. I only want to live a free and unfettered life. You don't have to waste any time on me."

"Freedom? Although you have forged the strongest combat physique, the path before the God Realm is still a hard one," said Fairy Zi Xiang.

"My master told me that only by crushing all difficulties before me would I be able to witness the great dao. Thus, an easy path does not suit me. My apologies," said Xiang Shaoyun seriously.

The other Saints were completely speechless. There was a saying that a wise man would submit to circumstances. However, Xiang Shaoyun was incredibly stubborn and arrogant. One ought to remember that even iron would break easily if it was too hard.

This time, Fairy Zi Xiang stood up and snapped, "Shaoyun, you're too dull!"

"And from now on, I will only talk about romance," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smirk as he grabbed Fairy Zi Xiang's arm and pulled her down. "You offered to be my woman, right? Come, have a drink with me!"

Fairy Zi Xiang was a sixth-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator, but she couldn't even see Xiang Shaoyun's movement before she was pulled into his embrace. The surrounding people grew anxious when they saw that.

"Shaoyun, do not be rude to the fairy," said the second prince.

"Second prince, don't tell me you like her?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"Fairy Zi Xiang has both talent and beauty. What is the point of being so rude to her?" questioned the second prince unhappily.

"This is the Immortal Road Chamber, while we're the guests. What is wrong with having her serve us? Am I right, Fairy Zi Xiang?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

Fairy Zi Xiang smiled sweetly and said, "Sure, I'll have a drink with you."

She then downed the glass of liquor in one go. Her eyes flickered with slight killing intent. She was evidently growing impatient with Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled and praised, "Truly a female hero."

He stopped bothering her and released her before he started drinking again. Fairy Zi Xiang clenched her fists and considered killing Xiang Shaoyun immediately. But after some hesitation, she decided against it.

After finishing the pot of liquor, Xiang Shaoyun placed the pot down and said, "Second prince, Shaoyun has finished the liquor you bought me. It's time for me to leave."

He then stood up and walked outside.

Meanwhile, the second prince was still unhappy because of what Xiang Shaoyun had done, so he did not try to make Xiang Shaoyun stay. Only after Xiang Shaoyun left did he realize something. He slapped his own head and said, "I was so stupid!"

He hurriedly stood up and rushed toward the door. Alas, Xiang Shaoyun was nowhere to be seen.

"Sigh, I was too shortsighted," the second prince sighed heavily.

Fairy Zi Xiang appeared behind him and said, "That's right. Your vision is still too narrow. I hope that after today, you will learn to see further. After all, there are things you will never gain after missing it once."

She then left.

At this time, the second prince's followers also walked out. One of them said resentfully, "Second prince, that Xiang Shaoyun is too arrogant. What's the point of caring about him so much? Someone like him will never submit."

A different person said, "That's right. He is becoming way too arrogant just because he's somewhat talented. But without being a God, he will never be qualified to reign supreme in the dominion."

"I thought so as well, but there is more to him than we saw. I was tested by him earlier," said the second prince with a sigh

They were all confused, not understanding what the second prince was saying. Only the second prince knew what Xiang Shaoyun's decision was. Since he had turned on Xiang Shaoyun for a woman, would Xiang Shaoyun still accept him as a friend?
