What sort of approach is this?
A pickup line?
Chen Yu watched the man who had suddenly appeared before him, his hair slicked back, his voice deliberately lowered as if trying to make it more magnetic.
And a lisp, no less.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lu Xilide," the man holding a rose said with a smile. "Who am I? I am sent by Lord Shenwang to save this angel who has fallen into the mortal realm."
"Angel? You mean her?"
Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh.
This was quite amusing.
Calling this demon an angel. This guy was really walking right into a trap.
"Is there a problem?" Lu Xilide looked puzzled. "Perhaps in your eyes she isn't, but in my eyes, she is a sacred and inviolable angel. She radiates pure holy light, which is how I discovered her at first glance. From that moment on, I couldn't look away."
"Ugh, so cheesy."
Even Hei Dou, who was busy ogling the women on the street, couldn't help but whisper, getting goosebumps from the sentiment.
"Who is this guy?"
"We don't know either," Chen Yu shrugged with feigned confusion. "He just popped out of nowhere, calling our sister 'La Jie' an angel. We don't dare ask."
"Angel?"
Hei Dou's eyes widened, his face contorted with suppressed laughter.
Everyone knew Barbara was a demon.
Demons and angels.
They were mortal enemies, for sure!
He had seen people step on mines before, but he had never encountered someone who could step on one so precisely.
"Sister La, does your name have 'La' in it?"
Lu Xilide completely ignored the discussions from Chen Yu and Hei Dou, his eyes fixed on the little demon, his rose still held high.
"May I have the honor of inviting Sister La for a drink?"
Lu Xilide, filled with anticipation, gazed sincerely into Barbara's eyes.
"Are you crazy?"
"If your brain isn't working right, go get it fixed. Why are you bothering me? Get lost, don't be an eyesore here."
The little demon's eyes blazed with anger, causing Lu Xilide's face to falter slightly.
But—
He still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor.
"My charming lady, behaving like this..."
"Get lost. Don't you understand human language? Am I not speaking the common tongue of the underground? Now get lost immediately. Don't let me see you." The little demon looked up at the man before her.
"Buddy, you should just know when to back off."
Chen Yu stepped forward with a smile, trying to smooth things over. He had just arrived in the main city and didn't want to escalate things too much.
"We understand trying to strike up a conversation, but our Sister La has made it clear she wants you to leave. So, stop forcing it and embarrassing yourself. What's the point?"
"What business is it of yours?"
To his surprise, Lu Xilide turned to Chen Yu with an angry expression, completely disregarding Chen Yu's attempt to mediate.
"Get lost."
Lu Xilide raised his hand to push Chen Yu's shoulder. Before he could even touch him, Hei Dou, standing beside Chen Yu, grabbed his wrist.
"What do you think you're doing, huh?!"
No matter how unreliable Hei Dou might seem normally, in his heart, Chen Yu's status was above anyone else's.
Daring to touch him was asking for death.
Although Hei Dou hadn't awakened his Divine General, and his strength was significantly less than Er Gou and the others, he had been by Chen Yu's side every day.
He had received priority access to all sorts of resources.
He had also eaten a lot of food that increased his stats.
Even without awakening his Divine General, his strength wasn't too bad.
"My boss is asking you nicely to leave. Don't push your luck," Hei Dou said, gripping Lu Xilide's wrist and forcefully shoving him away.
"Oh, you dare lay hands on me."
Lu Xilide, having been shoved away, wore a sinister grin, licking his lips.
He then clapped his hands.
Suddenly, more than a dozen powerful individuals appeared around him. Chen Yu glanced at his wristband and saw that they were all Golden Realm experts.
"In this city, there's no woman I, Lu Xilide, cannot take!"
Lu Xilide said with a menacing smile, his gaze fixed on Chen Yu and the others.
"Now get lost. I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, if I beat you to death here, no one will be able to do anything about it."
"You're asking for death!"
The little demon clenched her fists, elements gathering around her.
"No, don't get angry with him," Chen Yu quickly pulled the little demon back, smiling at Lu Xilide, who was no longer pretending, and whispered, "This is the Royal City, and surely there's a king's law here, right? Aren't you disregarding the kingdom's constitution by acting like this?"
"King's law? I am the king's law!"
Lu Xilide chuckled, looking at Chen Yu and saying,
"Get lost!"
"Interesting." Chen Yu's eyes held a smile. Just then, Roni Airton, sensing something was amiss, returned. "What happened?"
"Here."
Chen Yu gestured forward with his chin.
"He fancies Sister La and wants to take her for a drink. When she refused, he called his men to surround us and shamelessly claimed he was the king's law in this city. Do you know him?"
Roni Airton frowned and looked at Lu Xilide for a long moment.
"No, I don't."
"So it seems he's just a nobody," Chen Yu couldn't help but chuckle. "I thought the person who spoke so arrogantly was the city lord. Turns out he's just a petty thug."
Given Roni's status, she would recognize almost anyone with significant influence.
Since she said she didn't know him...
Then there was only one possibility: the person before them wasn't important enough to reach the circles of Roni Airton's family.
"It's alright, I'll handle him for you."
Roni raised her hand, about to contact someone on her wristband, but Chen Yu stopped her.
"No need. Such a minor character doesn't require your connections. Favors are the hardest to repay. Leave it to me; I can handle it."
"Then hurry up. I've already found a good restaurant, and we can go have a nice meal."
"Don't worry."
Giving Roni a reassuring look, Chen Yu stepped forward with his hands behind his back.
"I don't know where you get the audacity to say such things. In my heart, law is paramount, and as a citizen of this kingdom, I abide by its laws and regulations."
"You, relying on your minor abilities, disregard the king's law."
"I wonder what your family would think if they knew about this."
"Even now, I'm willing to give you a chance. Let's drop this matter here, and you and your people leave. We'll pretend we never met."
"If..."
"Who are you trying to fool? Looking at your attire, you're just a nobody from some backwater village. Why are you acting like a big shot?" Lu Xilide sneered, "You two men get lost, and leave the two women behind, or we'll tie you two up and feed you to the fish."
"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Chen Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Get lost!"
"Alright, if you insist on this, then let your men come forward."
Suddenly, four Meteorite Guards appeared beside Chen Yu, their eyes fixed intently on Lu Xilide and his men. Chen Yu stood behind the Meteorite Guards.
"Please, begin your performance."
