Chapter 488: Ladies' Man

The intense light made the men cover their eyes .
Guan Dongyang estimated that there were about two hundred of them . He reckoned that if all of these men rushed into the camp at the same time, they were bound to wreak havoc . Perhaps, Guan Dongyang thought, House Lie was not as influential as he had felt to deter dangers .
"Good evening everyone . Your enthusiasm deeply touches me in coming to bid me farewell . " Guan Dongyang spoke with his soul energy, sending the message directly into the ears of the intruders .
The booming voice in their heads, combined with the intense blinding light, stunned the intruders .
No one knew what was going on . Was it a mastery spell? God knows!
"KOM!"
A blaring explosion erupted in the distance, sending a plume of yellow smoke billowing up to the night sky . "I am cultivating a new mastery . It has been . . . unstable . Please watch out where you step, my friends . "
The intruders looked to the directions of the explosion and found out that half of a hilltop was shaved clean off, leaving an ugly scar that bubbled smoke .
Suddenly, the light disappeared, and the sudden darkness blinded and disoriented the intruders for the second time . Even after the intruders finally regained their visual senses, no one dared make a move closer to the camp .
After some time, these men turned their heels and slid into the darkness, running where they came from .
Seeing the enemies retreat, a swell of cheers rose in the Battle Wolf camp . They had won a battle without firing a shot .
Driven by greed, the raiders came to the camp, but were terrified of Guan Dongyang's power . They feared that if they aggravated Guan Dongyang, he would rain death on them while his Mastery trickery blinded them . Between the loot and their life, they would choose the latter on any given day .
Wang Tong knew that these raiders, consumed by their greed, were not vile men before the war broke out . Therefore, there was no sense in harming their lives unnecessarily .
Nonetheless, the incidence exposed the human world's desperate need for unity .
Having learned their lessons, the battle wolf didn't let their guard down after the raiders retreated .
They rode out again at the break of dawn . On their way, House Lie seemed to have changed their opinion toward Guan Dongyang after last night's complications . Not only did Lie Wushuang initiate conversation with Guan Dongyang, which he had never done before, but his tone was no longer laced with condescension . Guan Dongyang's performance had caught them off guard . Lie Wushuang was convinced that Guan Dongyang was very close to the legendary level . Seeing how strong the leader of the Battle Wolf had gotten, Lie Wushuang felt that he would have to change his approach as well .
Lie Wushuang was not alone in his change of attitude, as Lie Xuan also started to see Guan Dongyang under a different light after yesterday's event . She reckoned that the mastery he used last night could easily disorient an entire army of warriors . Using his area of effect spells, Guan Dongyang could have done away with the two hundred or so raiders with a few sweeps of hands .
The mastery Guan Dongyang used was not the elemental fire Mastery that he was most familiar with . The fire mastery consisted only a few common spells and their variants . After being popularized among mastery casters, it was quickly getting old .
The originality of the light spell aside, the incident was also a reminder to House Lie that as a near-legendary level warrior, Guan Dong had more tricks up his sleeves than he showed on the surface .
The thought of Guan Dongyang's surreptitious act behind her back made Lie Xuan knot his brows . She always thought that she had Guan Dongyang wrapped around her little finger . He should have reported to her any of his recent development without her even asking . Lie Xuan finally conceded that it was time for her to change tactics .
In the morning, she called for the shotgun in Guan Dongyang's vehicle and on their way home, she, for the first time, started to talk about herself to Guan Dongyang .
However, Guan Dongyang had followed Wang Tong's advice and appeared cold and distant . Regardless of how obviously Lie Xuan hinted at yesterday's event, he kept things to himself and brushed off his heroic act as if it was nothing .
Guan Dongyang could tell that the chemistry between him and Lie Xuan was changing with each mile they traveled . He marveled at Wang Tong's incredible ability to capture a girl's heart .
He remembered that back in the old days, Wang Tong had been a ladies' man . Not only was he Ma Xiaoru's fiance, but many other girls had also publicly displayed their affection . Li Ruoer had ditched Lie Jian for him; Princess Heidi had openly invited him to her residence, and even his principal, Samantha, favored him over all other students .
Those were the girls who were still alive, and there was also Zhou Sisi, the girl who had given her life for Wang Tong .
Guan Dongyang remembered the saddened faces of Wang Tong's friends after they have heard about his death . Why would they treat Wang Tong as their best friend? It was because Wang Tong treated them the same way .
Wang Tong had always valued his friends more than personal power, and that was the difference between a monster and a human . Guan Dongyang knew that he and Wang Tong were the same type of person: he would rather die for friends than live like a king in loneliness .
Lie Xuan couldn't suppress the feeling that something was different about Guan Dongyang after last night's turn of events . It was hard to put it in words . Perhaps, he was more confident than his former self, more like the man that Lie Xuan dreamed of marrying .
Realizing how close she had gotten to the man she could love for the rest of her life, Lie Xuan blushed .
By lunchtime, House Lie had washed the condescending tones out of words and joined the Battle Wolf at the same camp table .
Guan Dongyang wished that he could explain what happened last night to Lie Xuan, but Wang Tong told him not to . He didn't want any major power to know that he had landed on Mars yet .
"Dongyang, have more vegetables . They're good for you . " Lie Xuan said and carefully picked some greens from the salad bowl, setting them on Guan Dongyang's plate .
The rest of the table was so shocked by Lie Xuan's feminine voice and caring expression that they stopped eating altogether, with mouths wide open .
"What are you gawking at? Do you want to court death?" Sensing the attention on her, Lie Xuan poured out her scathing fire at them . Lie Wushuang quickly buried his head into his plate but failed to suppress a few snickers .
Guan Dongyang's mood bloomed like a flower, but Wang Tong had told him to never show his joy on his face, so he tried his best to keep a placid expression, and didn't even offer his appreciation for Lie Xuan's attention . All the while, Guan Dongyang felt that Lie Xuan was going to spit fire at him for his arrogance, but she didn't . He sneaked a peek at Lie Xuan after he had eaten the greens on his plate: A caring smile was still on Lie Xuan's face .
Everyone around the camp could tell that Duo Lun and Tan Bu had been acting strangely of late . They talked much less at the dining table, and they trained their body and exercised their tactics studiously like there was no tomorrow .
Wang Tong had successfully instilled the value of hard work into the two's minds .
After lunch, the band set out again without loitering around, fearing any further complications .
