The Best Strategy Is to Run (3)

"I don't want to!" Ye Lang shook his head and said.

"..." Li Yue's face darkened.

"All I want is your approval. Do other people's approval matter?" Ye Lang asked.

Does it matter?

This is a matter between the two of them. Others' approval is just icing on the cake, not the key thing. I seem to have misunderstood this. I shouldn't change anything because of my family's attitude.

I believe that by then, once the deed is done, even if they disagree, they will accept it and gradually begin to accept us...

Wait, what am I thinking? What do you mean by "making something out of nothing"? We're not even at that stage yet, this is so embarrassing!!

After lost in thought, Li Yue's face turned very red, like a fiery sunset, making one feel her warmth.

"What's wrong? Your face is so red. Do you have a fever?" Ye Lang reached out and touched Li Yue's forehead. "It's a little hot, but it doesn't seem like a fever. Take care of yourself."

"..." Li Yue felt her face getting even hotter, but she seemed to like the feeling.

"Don't you... think this is very unbecoming? What kind of behavior is this in public?" The beast in human clothing appeared again; he seemed to have been following Li Yue the whole time.

"Isn't this unseemly?"

"Our affairs are none of your business!"

Ye Lang and Li Yue spoke at the same time, but without interfering with each other's intentions, especially Li Yue's questioning, which surprised the beast in human clothing with its tough attitude.

Although Li Yue is a soldier, she is not very tough in her attitude towards people. On the contrary, she is a bit gentle. Actually, she is not really gentle, but she is very polite to everyone and is always indifferent to people. She does not have a tough attitude.

However, although she didn't take a tough stance, Li Yue still possessed the aura that a soldier should have; the phrase "imposing without anger" might explain this.

"Ford Fox, right? I want to duel with you!" The hypocrite was provoked and made a very common request to Ye Lang. Well, in this continent, requests for duels are indeed very common and happen every day.

"Not interested!" Ye Lang waved his hand dismissively, seemingly telling the others not to bother him.

Although he had considered Ye Lang's reaction, he never expected it to be like this, that Ye Lang would refuse outright. This was a rare occurrence on this continent; usually, people would agree to a duel, as it was a matter of dignity.

"..." Li Yue looked at Ye Lang, as if she was thinking about something.

"Haha, see that, Miss Li Yue? He's just a cowardly pretty boy. How could someone like that be worthy of you?!" After Ye Lang refused, the beast in human clothing became arrogant and laughed loudly, as if he wanted to tell the whole world.

Because of his behavior, people who were originally in the hall were also drawn outside. Some of them came out and looked at Ye Lang with disdain in their eyes.

On this continent, almost everyone respects the strong and despises the weak. In their hearts, Ye Lang's behavior is not even as good as that of a weak person. At least a weak person would accept the duel.

The duel here is not about killing the opponent, but simply about determining a winner. So the weak are not afraid of challenges. If we lose, we lose. Why should we, who have nothing to lose, be afraid of those who have shoes?

"Ford Fox, why don't you agree to his proposal?" Li Yue asked, her tone so calm that it was impossible to tell what she meant.

"Why should I agree to him? If I agree to every Tom, Dick, or Harry who wants to duel me, I'll either be exhausted or driven crazy by the annoyance!" Ye Lang said casually.

"..." So that's what he meant. He looked down on this hypocrite.

"Pretty boy, who's the Tom, Dick, or Harry? I'll make you suffer a terrible death!" the beast in human clothing roared. He felt deeply insulted. Ye Lang didn't even bother to fight him, let alone even look at him.

"Li Yue, the moon is so beautiful tonight, just like your smiling eyes," Ye Lang suddenly said to Li Yue.

"Huh?" Li Yue didn't understand what Ye Lang wanted to do for a moment and didn't react, but she quickly realized that Ye Lang was praising her beauty, and her face started to turn red again.

Li Yue's reaction stunned the Li Family and those who knew her, as they had never seen Li Yue in such a childlike state before.

It seems that this time, she has truly fallen for this Fox Tribe boy; at the very least, it's safe to say she has a strong liking for him...

"You pretty boy, you're asking for death!!" the beast in human clothing roared, then drew a greatsword and slashed at Ye Lang.

That sword strike carried intense Battle Qi and boundless rage. These two elements made the sword strike incredibly powerful, and those who knew him were all wondering when he had become so formidable.

This sword strike can be described as the most powerful strike of this hypocrite, the strongest move he has ever made in his life. He probably didn't even expect that he would unleash such power. At this moment, he didn't even notice it because he was filled with rage.

This sword strike is no ordinary one!

There were also some experts present, who secretly thought to themselves that they were worried and sympathetic for Ye Lang. They felt that even if Ye Lang didn't die from this sword strike, he would be badly injured.

At this moment, Ye Lang calmly watched the sword strike, then made a gesture that made everyone despise him...

"Li Yue! You go up..."

Ye Lang shouted, then flashed behind Li Yue, clearly wanting Li Yue to protect him!

Damn, this pretty boy is really something else. He actually hid behind a woman and let her shield him from attacks. I want to spit water on him to death.

At this moment, everyone felt deep contempt for Ye Lang. His behavior made them regard him as a gigolo, and a weak gigolo at that.

However, Li Yue didn't seem to care. She just smiled, then drew her sword and thrust it forward, using the tip of her sword to stop the beast in human clothing's sword. It seemed that the tip of her sword was the one that stopped the beast in human clothing.

This sword strike was brilliantly deflected, raising everyone's opinion of Li Yue to a whole new level!

"Good!"

Immediately, cheers erupted throughout the hall, making the Li Family feel extremely proud. However, Li Yue, the person involved, remained calm and unaffected by the cheers, simply turning her head to look at Ye Lang behind her.

"Okay, it's alright now!"

Despite being despised by everyone, Ye Lang remained calm, as if what he was doing was a very ordinary thing.
