From beneath the white cloak came Chrysanthemum Douluo's alluring, coquettish voice. "Little one, you should know what's going on with this little girl, right? Could you tell me?"
Though he was asking, Chrysanthemum Douluo had invisibly applied Soul Power pressure, seemingly intending to force Ye Wen to answer this way.
But Huo Rui, standing beside him, was the first to take offense. She suddenly erupted with Soul Power, dispersing Chrysanthemum Douluo's instinctive pressure.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, don't go too far! He's my granddaughter's husband. Don't think I'll be afraid of you just because your cultivation is higher than mine. Keep pushing your luck, and I'll take you down with me!"
At her words, a flicker of wariness flashed through Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes. Though Huo Rui was only Level 85 now, she was a ruthless woman who had dared to face Dugu Bo head-on when she was merely an early-stage Soul Douluo. Now, she had surpassed her former self. Chrysanthemum Douluo could also see that the aura around Huo Rui's entire body had been condensed into a single point. In terms of pure destructive power, she might not be able to launch wide-area attacks like him, but in single-target combat, she was undoubtedly stronger than a Titled Douluo with a plant Martial Soul who neglected his proper cultivation.
Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately gave an awkward smile. "Don't be so tense, Huo Rui. I wasn't really going to attack him. Besides, as a Titled Douluo, it's not too much to ask a junior to satisfy my curiosity."
Huo Rui said nothing, but her gaze remained fixed on him, as if saying, Try anything, and I'll really make a move!
Just then, the previously still carriage erupted with a violent wave of Soul Power.
"Juhua Guan, you've truly fallen. You've even started threatening children now."
