At this moment, the entire Wind Elf race was thrown into an uproar.
"Th-this... Is this a jealous rivalry?"
"And the female lead is Leafa?"
"That kappa is Leafa's partner, Regan, right?"
"Then who's that handsome-looking Wind Elf?"
"My heavens..."
"This is going to be good."
The Wind Elves who happened to be nearby—or who had noticed the commotion and gathered around—erupted into an uproar upon hearing Luo Zhen's declaration.
"N-no...! That's not...! It's not like that...!"
Leafa's pretty face flushed bright red. She wanted to explain, but her flushed, flustered appearance failed to help in the slightest. Instead, it confirmed to the onlookers that a spectacular jealous rivalry was unfolding right before them, making the surrounding commotion grow even louder.
Under such circumstances, Regan seemed to be losing his nerve.
Luo Zhen, however, had never cared about the people around him. With an amused, half-smiling look, he continued provoking Regan.
"Come on, say it. Do you want a battle of wits or a battle of strength? One-on-one or a group brawl? Lay down the terms right here. I'll take you on."
Luo Zhen looked fully prepared to have an earth-shaking battle with Regan right there and then.
Of course, Luo Zhen's goal wasn't to fight over a girl. He simply didn't want some pig from who-knew-where to casually trample his own cabbage, so he intended to "build a good relationship" with Regan.
But the people around them clearly didn't see it that way. Even Regan took Luo Zhen's words at face value, and the hostility in his gaze grew increasingly intense.
Even so, Regan didn't charge forward.
"I... I'm warning you, I'm really strong...!"
Regan merely issued a threat with more bluster than confidence.
That statement earned him a burst of unrestrained laughter from the surrounding Wind Elves.
