Yu Yanluo stepped forward with a frosty expression: "Little lion, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your control. Being too arrogant will only bring trouble upon yourself."

She was quite displeased to hear him speak so rudely and insult her lover.

She was, after all, the queen of her race, and had long held a high position even among humans. How could such a child dare to spout nonsense in front of her?

However, the lion spirit's identity is somewhat sensitive. Zu'an already felt bad that she had been dragged into the demon race because of her. If she made too many enemies among the demon race because of her, she was worried that her lover would be in danger.

His aura suddenly surged, and a powerful pressure spread out, hoping to make the lion spirit back down.

Upon seeing this, Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue both exclaimed in surprise, exchanged a glance, and both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

How long has it been? Yu Yanluo has already been promoted from the eighth rank to the ninth rank.

Everyone has been together most of the time, and she hasn't had any special encounters.

Moreover, he had suffered such a serious injury before. According to the normal training speed, it would be good if he could recover his combat strength. Yet he actually improved by a whole level.

Both men were exceptionally insightful and quickly came up with the most likely reason.

Zaun's superior talent!

There is an ancient legend that the essence blood of those with superior aptitude is a great tonic, allowing cultivators to achieve twice the results with half the effort.

I initially thought it was just a joke, but it seems that the essence blood of those with super-grade potential might actually have a significant effect.

Yu Yanluo's cultivation level also broke through recently. Back then, Zu An had physical intimacy with her in order to save her.

No wonder even someone as dignified as Yu Yanluo would shamelessly sneak over to steal a bite at the Qingqiu Palace yesterday; she's gotten hooked!

The two women suddenly felt a little dazed. They thought that they had been stuck at the Grandmaster level for so many years. If they could get Zu An's help, wouldn't they have a chance to break through to the Earth Immortal level?

The moment the thought crossed their minds, both women's pretty faces flushed and their hearts pounded. What nonsense were they thinking? How could that be!

As the two women were lost in their fantasies, the other demon experts also changed their expressions. Yu Yanluo had been unassuming before, but they never expected her to be a ninth-rank expert.

Moreover, the aura emanating from him was clearly not that of an ordinary ninth-rank cultivator; even they felt a sense of fear.

The other party must have something that can threaten them!

Seeing this unexpected turn of events, the others watched Lion Spirit with schadenfreude, waiting to see how he would handle the situation.

Lion Spirit's expression also changed. He originally thought that the other party was just a woman who used her beauty to please men, but who knew that she was actually a hidden master.

However, he has always been arrogant, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, how could he possibly back down and admit defeat?

Of course, he wasn't stupid. If he directly fought someone of the ninth rank, and someone got injured later, it would only benefit others.

So he said coldly, "It's too shameful for a real man to fight with a woman."

After saying that, he looked at Zu'an and said provocatively, "Hey you over there, all you do is hide behind women and live off them?"

Yu Yanluo's eyebrows furrowed; she was truly angry.

Just as she was about to lash out, Zu'an patted her shoulder, indicating that she should take over.

Yu Yanluo was also understanding and knew that it would be bad to stand up for him at this time, so she silently retreated.

Princess Soren, who had been observing the group, showed a hint of surprise. This woman's cultivation was so high, yet she listened to that man so much.

Is that man really just a pretty face who lives off his wife?

"A real man?" Zuan sneered. "How old are you? Pull down your pants and see if you've grown any pubic hair yet."

Pfft~

A suppressed laugh came from the side. Everyone wanted to laugh but felt that they might offend the Lion Spirit, so they all struggled to hold it in.

Princess Soren blushed slightly and muttered under her breath, "You scoundrel."

At this moment, the lion spirit's expression turned cold: "How dare you disrespect this prince! Come here and kowtow to apologize, and this prince might spare your life!"

Rage from the Lion Spirit: +444 +444 +444...

Seeing his arrogant and domineering demeanor with his head held high, Zu An immediately laughed: "Were you this arrogant when you were being breastfed at home?"

"Haha~" Some people around could no longer hold back their laughter and started laughing.

Their status was not much different from that of the Lion Spirit, and they were even older. Seeing this brat's arrogant words and deeds all the way, they had long been annoyed.

Lion Spirit's face turned bright red: "You brat, I was going to spare your life because of your female companion, but you had to be so foul-mouthed. Even if the Heavenly King himself came today, he couldn't save you, I said it!"

Rage from the Lion Spirit: +711 +711 +711...

His aura suddenly surged, as if one could faintly hear the roar of a lion. This was the special ability of the Lion Clan. Although it was not a domain, it could achieve some of the effects of a domain to a certain extent.

The enemy, intimidated by the lion's might, will have their fighting spirit diminished even if they are of equal skill level, and will be utterly crushed if they encounter someone weaker than themselves.

The others also looked solemn; at this point, it was clear that a life-or-death struggle was imminent.

Lion Spirit was successful at a young age and was known for his bad temper. This man could save his life by yielding a little, so why did he have to be so quick to speak?

Princess Changning thought to herself that these men were all so obsessed with saving face, and they deserved to get into trouble.

Princess Soren looked at Zuan with curious eyes, wondering whether this man was relying on the woman behind him or if he really had some ability.

"Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't save you?" Despite being locked onto by the other party's aura, Zu An seemed unaffected and sighed, "Ten thousand years later, when people discovered your ancient tomb and opened the coffin, they found nothing but a mouth, which was still very hard."
