With a sharp rebuke from Zheng Ke, the tavern patrons scrambled out the door in a panic.
Given Zheng Ke's tyranny, anyone who dared to defy him would face swift retaliation. At best, they'd be paralyzed; at worst, they'd be killed on the spot.
So, within moments, all the patrons had left the tavern, gathering in a crowd outside.
"Xinyu!"
Zheng Ke walked forward with a smile, his hand reaching for Lan Xinyu's shoulder.
Lan Xinyu dodged back in a flash, deftly avoiding his touch.
Lan Xinyu was at the Spiritual Spring Third Layer, while Zheng Ke was only at the First Layer. How could he possibly catch her?
As Lan Xinyu dodged, Zheng Ke lost his balance and nearly stumbled to the ground.
His anger flared. 'Damn bitch! I'll put up with you for now, but once I get you into my bed, I'll humiliate you mercilessly.'
Though he seethed internally, Zheng Ke's expression quickly smoothed back into a smile as he looked at Lan Xinyu.
