Chapter 279: Demon Slaying

Lakyus had seen quite a few handsome, elegant young noblemen in the past, but compared to Ling, they were like the faint glow of rotten grass against the bright moon in the sky.

That was true if one considered appearance alone. Add Ling's achievements and status as an adamantite-rank adventurer, and there was even less comparison to be made.
