Chapter 88 - Hu Xiandao's Story

Hu Xiandao released a bit of his anma in a bid to scare Theia with his strength. Although the latter was a beauty, he wanted to teach her a lesson for talking to him in such a manner.

There was a faint glow in Hu Xiandao’s body as his anma slowly gushed out of his body. He gave Theia a faint smile that looked terrifying to behold.

"What a pity! That little lady is so pretty, but why did she have to provoke Lord Hu?" One of the young barbarians said as he shook his head.

The other three barbarians held the same sentiments, but they could only watch the scene with a look of regret.

They didn’t even realize the weird atmosphere enveloping the whole store as the face-off between Theia and Hu Xiandao continued. The customers were wearing excited looks on their faces as if they were waiting for something to happen.

The barbarians were confused at their reactions, but they could not comprehend the reason for their behavior. They were also perplexed that no one even stood up to dissuade Theia from provoking an expert like Hu Xiandao. Just why?

Being stared in such a way by Hu Xiandao, Theia’s cold eyes remained tranquil with no hints of ripple. She looked like a stubborn little shrub facing a huge storm with an unbending will!

"Are you done talking?" She asked in a calm and indifferent voice, but when the customers heard her speak, they could not help but shiver.

"Hahaha! You’ve got guts little lady. To think that there is someone in Beltran City with such an attitude. I respect your courage, but I don’t want being looked down especially by a woman!" Hu Xiandao’s smiling face turned ferocious as he spoke in an intimidating voice.

It could be said that this Hu Xiandao was truly a full-blooded barbarian. The savagery of someone who had grown up from the vicious wildlands was already deeply-rooted in his bones. Just his overwhelming presence alone could even make the patriarchs of the noble clans treat him with respect. So how could he bend to a mere woman just because of her beauty?

Suddenly, a bone-chilling true essence gushed out of Theia’s body. It was so dreadfully dense that even Hu Xiandao had to take a step back!

"Just a woman, huh?" Theia’s calm voice was like death’s whisper echoing beside everyone’s ears.

Hu Xiandao’s playful expression froze and he could not help but put on a serious look as he hurriedly gathered the anma from his body to protect himself.

At that moment, he finally realized that this blonde beauty was actually an expert that was many times stronger than he was!

’The customers’ weird expressions and their uncaring attitude. Now it all makes sense... They all knew that this lady is a top expert...’ Hu Xiandao thought to himself while cautiously looking at Theia.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, an alluring voice echoed inside the store.

"Wait, Sister Theia!"

Everyone glanced at Lu Sulan with puzzled looks, but they didn’t dare voice out their curiosity. They could only silently stare at her graceful figure while waiting for her to speak.

Theia recalled her true essence and looked at Lu Sulan in bewilderment. "Sister Lu, what’s the meaning of this?" She asked in a mild tone, but she was obviously displeased. She really wanted to punish Hu Xiandao for daring to act impudently in her presence.

Hu Xiandao glanced at Lu Sulan and his eyes widened like saucers. "Sect Mistress Lu? Why are you here? And why are wearing a maid’s uniform?" He asked with a surprised tone.

Lu Sulan walked towards them and stood in between the two before she glanced at Theia apologetically. "Please forgive Lord Hu, Sister Theia. He’s someone from the Mythos Wildlands and barbarians like him are known for their overbearing attitude. But Lord Hu is someone with a kind heart" The former said gently.

Theia knitted her eyebrows and glanced at Hu Xiandao from head to foot. In her eyes, he didn’t look kind at all.

"Just this alone is not enough to stop me from punishing him." She said coldly.

Hu Xiandao wanted to speak, but Lu Sulan raised her slim arms to prevent him from speaking. The former reluctantly closed his mouth and he could only glare at Theia.

"Sister Theia, please. He may not look like a good person, but he saved my life when I was still young back then. One of his arms was even severed just to save me from being devoured by 7th-rank Emperor realm savage beast." Lu Sulan could not help but feel a bit emotional as she recalled the scene that happened many years ago.

She was still a 6th-rank King realm cultivator at that time and she was out on a mission given by the sect elders of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect.

During her travel, she encountered a 7th-rank Mountain Breaking Serpent. And just as she thought that she would be devoured by the huge behemoth, a brave barbarian warrior raised his thick arms to shield her body from the serpent’s bite.

Lu Sulan could still remember as that brave barbarian’s arm was torn off by the serpent, but the barbarian gritted his teeth amidst the excruciating pain and carried Lu Sulan away with his remaining arm.

Starting then, their Ice Cloud Sword Sect became the strongest ally of the Mythos Wildlands...

Lu Sulan glanced at Hu Xiandao’s missing arm with teary eyes before she turned to look at Theia with a determined expression.

Theia sighed as she listened to the story, but her overall impression of Hu Xiandao improved by many times. She glanced at the headstrong barbarian and muttered. "I respect you for being a real man." She then walked back to her spot, making everyone sigh in relief.

Lu Sulan smiled at Theia’s back figure and she then turned to look at Hu Xiandao with a faint smile. "Greetings, Lord Hu and welcome to The Immortal’s Wine."
