Chapter 373: How Could He Treat Me

"Young Master Arondas is truly handsome!"

"Yes, that red-haired woman is truly fortunate."

"Yes!! If Young Master Arondas were to approach me like that, I dare not guarantee whether I would appear in his bed tonight."

The voices of some women discussing formed the buzzing of flies.

And some men watching not far away, one by one, dared not speak; outsiders were even more so watching the spectacle.

They believed that Jiang Li and Julia had encountered trouble; obviously, the blond man before them seemed to be the son of a local dignitary.

"How about it, beauty? You don't need to participate in any martial arts written exam; as long as you follow me, you can immediately become one of my concubines! With noble status, wherever you go, no one will look down on you."

Arondas said.

"Pfft!"

Julia's red lips moved slightly as she laughed and said, "You come to approach me, yet you can only make me your concubine?"

"Then I must ask, whose family are you from? This is Wang Cheng, at the feet of King Norland—who gave you the audacity to harass a common woman in public!"

Jiang Li, standing aside, was somewhat surprised; he did not expect Julia to be so unyielding, so strong-willed in her bones.

Just those two lines of questioning, an ordinary person could not have spoken.

Originally, Jiang Li had guessed Julia was the young lady of Norland's Wang Cheng, but now it seemed she was not.

Arondas's face clearly turned somewhat ugly.

But seeing so many people around, he could not bring himself to lose face and directly explode in anger; instead, with an unnatural smile on his face, he said, "I am inviting you; I am not forcing you, so what you say does not apply. Such a heavy accusation, I cannot bear. I just want to tell you that if you follow me, you can enjoy wealth and honor; even as my concubine, you would be—"

Arondas glanced at Jiang Li and said, "—even as my concubine, you would be a hundred or a thousand times more powerful than marrying that seemingly strong man beside you, so I am giving you an opportunity!"

"Do not speak. You give me the position of a concubine; even if you gave me the Kingdom of Norland, I would not be with a man of your immoral character. Go wherever it is cool and stay there; do not obstruct us!"

After speaking, Julia pulled Jiang Li past him, directly causing him to stumble.

After a moment of ferocity on Arondas's face, his expression returned to calm. "Hmph—just wait and see!"

The two arrived at the front desk to handle the couple's check-in procedures and came to the staircase entrance.

Jiang Li said, "Are you not afraid he will cause trouble?"

"You will protect me, right? I am so scared," Julia said.

To speak the truth, in that instant of pitiful vulnerability, Jiang Li was truly somewhat moved, truly wanting to utter those eternal vows.

But he knew he was a Transmigrator, he was an NPC of the Kingdom of Norland; the two simply could not be together.

So he was ultimately unable to speak it.

It seemed Julia also had some Gu Ji; she too did not mention a single word about eternal love.

"We are opponents during our martial arts competition, you know; you are not necessarily my match!" Julia said.

"That we shall just let nature take its course; losing to you would not be shameful, but I do not want to lose tonight!" Jiang Li said.

"Tch—who fears whom? After last time, I went back and practiced for a long time; physical labor is ultimately your domain; what do I have to fear?"
