The surrounding people were filled with envy. It was true that pretty boys were popular. Such blatant touching, and yet he got away with it.
Or perhaps this conch maiden preferred this kind of approach, liking men who were domineering and forceful?
"Miss, you seem a bit unwell. How about we find a quiet place, and I can give you a thorough check-up?"
Ji Mo looked at the conch maiden and extended an invitation.
He had already determined that she had a problem and wanted to find out if it was what he suspected.
However, Ji Mo's words, in the eyes of outsiders, undoubtedly took on a different meaning.
Inviting a beautiful woman he had just met for a private meeting without any reason, and shamelessly offering to examine her body – wasn't this the behavior of a complete pervert?
Bao Niu was furious and refused to let go of Ji Mo's finger, thinking Ji Mo was a player and too much of a scumbag.
However, Ji Mo's physical body was too robust. No matter how hard she tried, she could only leave a shallow bite mark.
"You bastard, how dare you flirt with the noble Miss Han Zhu! You're asking for death."
The young man in ornate robes roared, wanting to play the role of her protector and teach Ji Mo a lesson on the spot.
However, his warm welcome was met with a cold shoulder.
The conch maiden, Han Zhu, did not appreciate his gesture. She raised her hand to stop the young man in ornate robes, her gaze falling on Bao Niu. She smiled at Ji Mo and said, "If you truly wish to date me, it's not impossible. I'm very fond of this clownfish. As long as you give her to me, I will grant your wish."
Clearly, the conch maiden seemed to have seen through Bao Niu's true identity and wanted to obtain her. As for her purpose, it was unknown.
Upon hearing this, many people around were tempted. To get a chance at a rendezvous for a mere clownfish, this conch maiden was too easy to woo.
They were filled with envy and jealousy, wishing they could have such romantic luck.
"Miss Han Zhu, if you like clownfish, you just have to say the word. I can get you any rare species you want. Why let this brat take advantage of you?"
The young man in ornate robes said ingratiatingly. If he had known the conch maiden was so easy to please, he wouldn't have racked his brains trying to win her favor all these days.
Just as everyone present believed that Ji Mo would unhesitatingly give up the clownfish for this romantic encounter, Ji Mo directly refused.
"You think you can have my Bao Niu? Dream on."
Ji Mo refused unceremoniously, unwilling to agree to such a transaction.
"To refuse such a good opportunity, is this brat perhaps mentally challenged?"
The surrounding people looked at Ji Mo as if he were an idiot, thinking he was definitely out of his mind.
Any normal man would know how to choose.
Bao Niu immediately calmed down, released her bite, and her lips curled upwards crazily. She felt that Ji Mo was reliable and hadn't been blinded by lust to give her away.
Especially the words "my Bao Niu," which made her heart bloom with joy.
Then, she became vigilant, sensing the conch maiden's ill intentions and realizing she might have seen through her identity.
A conch maiden saying she liked clownfish? Wasn't that absurd? She was clearly lying, so her intentions were not pure.
The young man in ornate robes gave Ji Mo a look that said, "Good boy, you know your place." If Ji Mo had dared to try and cling to the conch maiden, he wouldn't have minded making him disappear from this world without a trace.
Deep within Han Zhu's pupils, a cold glint flashed. She hadn't expected to be refused.
She widened her eyes, unleashing a captivating gaze, and simultaneously let out a sweet, coquettish voice, "Young master, please give her to me."
As she spoke, she secretly unleashed powerful mental energy, activating her charm spell, confident that no man would refuse.
The surrounding men couldn't resist, their breathing quickened, and their eyes turned green. If the conch maiden were to act so coyly towards them, they would gladly give up their lives, let alone a clownfish.
"You want her for free? Absolutely not."
Ji Mo remained composed, unaffected by her. He even kindly reminded her, "Miss, are you having a fit? Why are you blinking so much? You'll get strabismus like that."
Han Zhu lost face on the spot, her expression turning ashen. She felt he was deliberately mocking her.
She almost couldn't resist erupting and using force to deal with Ji Mo, to snatch Bao Niu away by force.
However, after considering the pros and cons, she forcibly suppressed her anger, unwilling to act rashly.
Firstly, she couldn't see through Ji Mo's background and was wary.
Secondly, the situation was tense. She was a sea creature, and if she committed violence in public, it would likely cause major trouble.
"You truly have character, young master. I like that. We'll meet again."
Han Zhu's smile returned. After giving Ji Mo a charming smile, she turned and left.
In reality, her smile hid a dagger. She had already decided to deal with Ji Mo in secret and would snatch Bao Niu away at all costs.
If that didn't work, she would make them disappear without a trace. The mermaid princess could not be allowed to remain, as it would affect their plans.
"Kid, don't let me run into you again, or else..."
The young man in ornate robes let out a cold snort, threatened Ji Mo, and then eagerly chased after the conch maiden.
Some people nearby kindly warned Ji Mo to leave quickly if he didn't want to die, stating that the young man in ornate robes had an unusual background.
Ji Mo thanked them for their kindness but felt no fear. If any troublemakers dared to provoke him, he wouldn't mind sending them to their doom.
With the Chaos Bell in hand, any villain who came would die, and a pair who came would both die.
"You scumbag, what did you mean just now? You can't give her away for free? Does that mean if the bad woman pays, you'll sell me off?"
Bao Niu's感动 lasted only a few minutes before she was furious again, opening her mouth to bite Ji Mo.
Honestly, this scoundrel was no good person, too detestable.
Ji Hanhan looked embarrassed and tried to explain, "Don't be angry. At worst, we'll sell her for a high price, and we'll split it fifty-fifty. Don't bite my face... Ah, biting my mouth is not allowed either..."
On the other side.
The young man in ornate robes caught up to the conch maiden, his eyes constantly stealing glances at her body, becoming increasingly restless.
When they reached a secluded cliff face, he could no longer restrain himself. He blocked Han Zhu and directly performed a domineering wall slam.
"What do you want?"
Han Zhu narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of coldness.
The young man in ornate robes flashed a devilishly charming smile, straightened his back, and in a deep, unquestionable voice, said, "I want to examine you thoroughly and clearly."
This fellow was clearly trying to imitate Ji Mo, intending to follow his example and conquer the conch maiden with a domineering and shameless approach.
He felt in his heart that the conch maiden was a masochist and liked to be forced.
"Oh, and how exactly do you plan to examine me clearly?"
Han Zhu bit her lower lip, her smile blooming like a flower.
But in the next second, she raised her fair fist and smashed it towards the young man in ornate robes's "bird's nest."
"Ah..."
The young man in ornate robes let out a piercing scream, flew back hundreds of meters, and crashed heavily onto the ground.
Han Zhu was still not satisfied. She moved like a shadow, instantly catching up, and delivered another fierce punch to the young man in ornate robes's other eye.
"You dog, you toad wanting to eat swan meat, huh? Believe it or not, I'll beat your eyes out."
Han Zhu had lost her previous elegance and, like a shrew, unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on the young man in ornate robes.
She was full of pent-up frustration and was now taking it out on this lecherous unlucky fellow.
The forty to fifty followers of the young man in ornate robes stood by helplessly. Seeing their master being beaten, they did not dare to intervene.
Because they knew very well that even if they rushed forward together, they would not be a match for her.
Moreover, she was a distinguished guest, and they absolutely could not offend her.
"Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? How dare you set your sights on me?"
The conch maiden cursed angrily, lecturing him, "I'll spare your life this time. You'd better be capable of winning over Chi Qingying from the Chi family, or I will cripple you."
