Chapter 1468 - 1467: Dragon Scale and Dragon Whisker
The man wearing a blue-purple robe, with his hair bundled on his head with a crown, only needed a glance to feel that she was the woman he wanted.He had even started to imagine the scene where an eight-man sedan chair fetches Wang Han back.
"Dream on! Look at yourself, just a toad wishing to eat swan meat. I am the one most matching with the lady, and no one should try to compete with me."
Another man also found her pleasing to the eye.
"Whoever marries the Island Master's daughter will soon rise to great heights. However, for men like us who prefer stability, it's best to forget it. Marrying the Island Master's daughter might lead to chickens and dogs not getting along; better to leave the opportunity to others."
There are also those who rationally consider the situation, knowing the noble status of the Island Master's daughter, and dare not venture to explore.
"Hehe, such a fiery chick, you all have no means to handle her. I will take her back for some good training!"
The arrogant disdain was palpable, with some wishing to dig their eyes out to place them on Wang Han to see her even clearer.
"You?"
Tang Rao slyly approached the loudest few, swearing he was just passing by. Upon hearing those arrogant words, he really planned to pretend he hadn't heard anything, but his sense of justice forced him to speak the truth.
Looking at these people's appearances, each one uglier than the other, competing to be the ugliest.
"Who do you think you are? We brothers are talking—what's it got to do with you? If you don't want a beating, you'd better scram while we still don't feel like using force."
Such big talk, each one only mid to late middle god rank, boasting about beating Tang Rao. Tang Rao was indeed surprised, but it was by their obviously low intelligence.
"I'll leave, but you won't be able to take the girl home anyway. Let me say a couple of words more!"
Tang Rao couldn't resist saying more as he walked away.
They were determined to take the girl away, but with Tang Rao dousing their hopes twice, imagine—if a stranger repeatedly bothers you, can you forgive them twice?
The answer, of course, is no.
"I say, are you looking for trouble? On this day of joy, this young master is giving you some face, and was honestly planning not to kill anyone. If you insist on running into the sword, don't blame me after you're dead!"
The man in the blue-purple robe was filled with rage, drawing out a longsword, intending to cleave Tang Rao in half to suppress his anger.
Tang Rao didn't dodge but kept his sharp eyes fixed on the blue-purple robe. When Sword Qi struck, a protective layer inexplicably appeared on him, causing the sword to break into pieces upon contact with it.
The shattered sword was nowhere near as imposing; its function had long ended.
"Sorry, I've offended you elder gentlemen. Who knew I'd scare off you without daring to make a move, but still broke your sword—such a pity, really."
Tang Rao's sincere words sounded like a blatant mockery to them, utterly defeated yet destroying the sword they carried.
No one could figure it out.
"Hmph, this was the sword passed down in my family, and you'd better give me an explanation today, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Asking for an explanation was clearly demanding compensation, but Tang Rao hadn't even moved, so why pay? If anything, the men owed him compensation for mental distress, thinking they could extort him—it was wishful thinking.
"Everyone saw I didn't lift a hand nor retaliate, yet you all bully too much. If this continues, I'll go to the Island Master for justice!"
Tang Rao suddenly found these men quite amusing.
He wasn't usually like this, playing with those with underdeveloped brains. Somehow, his interest had piqued.
"Hahaha, did you hear what he said? Today is the Island Master's great day to choose a son-in-law. Do you really think he'll pay attention to you or treat you well?"
They were arrogant, knowing the Island Master wouldn't spare time here.
Ah, maybe they were given good faces too often, as they picked on Tang Rao without understanding his level?
"I don't know if the Island Master favors you, but he might give me some face. Too bad you have nothing worth betting; otherwise, I'd have placed a wager!"
Tang Rao scrutinized the man, dressed decently like an upstart, thinking he could squeeze something out.
This was Tang Rao's idea for dealing with trouble seekers.
"A wager, huh? As if you have anything worth gambling compared to us?"
A shabby kid, embarrassing them even more with the idea of betting—wasn't this a death wish?
Wang Han stood on stage, having stated her conditions for choosing a fiancé, yet remained there as her gaze got drawn to Tang Rao's side.
Seeing Tang Rao surrounded by several Big Han, she wasn't anxious but rather delighted, pondering whether Tang Rao would suffer or escape without losing out.
"I have things to bet with, but I'm not sure if you can offer an equally weighted wager."
As it's a bet, it must be equivalent, or it's meaningless.
"Alright, bring out your bet. Let's wager whether the Island Master will side with you or me."
Tang Rao pulled out a Dragon whisker from his pocket.
He nearly forgot it was stored in his Space Ring.
"You should know what this is without me explaining. So, wager—what do you have that can match my Dragon whisker?"
With calm composure, Tang Rao revealed the Dragon whisker, leaving the men stuck without a proper counter wager.
"A Dragon whisker! Didn't expect you to wield such power. But don't think you're the only one with precious items. I have one too!"
Without provocation, Tang Rao wouldn't have seen that the plain-looking, even somewhat ugly man could produce a Dragon Scale.
He was bold enough to acquire a dragon's reverse scale.
"Enough! Dragon Scale and Dragon whisker have different uses. Although the whisker's worth more, let's say I bear some loss. If you're okay with it, then shall we proceed with our wager?"
Tang Rao had no objection, and the man shook his head, indicating agreement. When the duel was established, both men's ears buzzed.
Finally, the man stepped into the trap.
