"I... I must've heard that wrong. Did he just tell her to let him live off her?"
"Is this kid out of his mind? That's not living off someone! That's reaching the pinnacle of life!"
"What a waste! What an absolute waste! If he doesn't want her, let me have her! I'll marry into her family!"
After a brief, stunned silence, the crowd erupted in an unprecedented uproar!
Countless male cultivators beat their chests and stamped their feet in anguish, looking at Xiao Yang as though he were a wastrel who had squandered a fortune worth billions!
They couldn't understand!
They truly couldn't understand how anyone in this world could be so stupid!
High above them,
Yao Xi, the Yao Guang Saintess, froze the instant she heard Xiao Yang's words. Her peerlessly beautiful face was hidden behind a veil.
For the first time, a flicker of shock appeared in her limpid eyes.
She had been the center of attention ever since she was a child.
Wherever she went, everyone's eyes were on her.
She had never wanted anything she couldn't get.
And this was the first time she had ever taken the initiative to make an offer to a man.
As far as she was concerned, she had already given him plenty of respect and offered terms he could never refuse.
She had expected him to be overwhelmed with gratitude, to fall at her feet in ecstatic joy.
But she had never dreamed that the response would be such a straightforward, utterly merciless... rejection!
And he had even said she was dreaming?
A sense of humiliation unlike anything she had ever felt surged through her!
Her peerlessly beautiful face turned icy in an instant.
The temperature around her seemed to drop to freezing.
A bone-chilling killing intent spread from her!
