HPDBC Chapter 166 Ridiculous
Chapter 166 Ridiculous
Leon said while pointing a finger at Zhu Ming's face, his face serious and his posture steady.
What people didn't know was that he was trembling inwardly from fear, the person he just picked was a level 9 expert. One of the strongest experts in the world and a very prominent figure with a powerful background and personal identity that could scare even ghosts.
How could he not be afraid? He was betting everything on what Zhu Ming had said, that whoever he picked had to accept his choice without complaining.
'You better not go back on your words,' Leon said inwardly.
In the quarter, everyone aside from Quin Xuxu was shocked and speechless. Their eyes were almost bulging out and their mouths were wide enough to fit in an entire egg.
Leon dared to pick the white armoured beauty! Wasn't that the same as courting death in the open?
Fengxu, Bai Quing, and Lin Shuran looked at him in shock, Mugin, Linxu, and the other disciples stared at Leon in astonishment; they were bewildered by his boldness.
The bald General wasn't any different, he was so shocked at Leon's decision that he almost fell over. His eyes twitched and he felt like exploding.
Ridiculous, this was absolutely ridiculous!
As for Zhu Ming, she was currently staring at Leon's finger that was pointed at her with slightly wide eyes. She would be lying if she said she wasn't surprised by his decision as well.
Many people feared her because of her several powerful identities, and even more were terrified of her strength; only a few people dared to interact with her without feeling nervous or fearful, and their interactions were mostly formal.
So she didn't expect this level 5 white-haired young man to be so bold and pick her as his wife even though she was a choice candidate, Zhu Ming had thought that Leon would pick her little sister since she was probably the only member of the Zhu family who he had interacted with and was at his level.
Her surprise lasted for a few seconds before she calmed herself, but these few seconds felt like an eternity to Leon and the members of the Falcon sect; they all thought that Leon would be blasted to death by Zhu Ming for being so daring.
But to their surprise, Zhu Ming didn't attack Leon after her expression returned to normal. She took a long look at Leon from his head down as if checking him out.
After three seconds, she softly said.
"All right, I accept."
Everyone "..."
They were dumbfounded when they heard her response, even Leon felt that his hearing had gone bad and he had heard wrong.
Did she accept just like that? So easy?
Leon continued looking at Zhu Ming's face; he was petrified and couldn't look away, much less drop his hand.
"It's my family custom," Zhu Ming replied with a straight face.
"What custom? He's clearly taking advantage of you; why didn't he choose Zhu Quiner, who's closer to his level?" The bald General wasn't willing to give up.
"His choice is nobody's business, and why are you making such a big fuss over this? If I remember correctly, you came to report about the appearance of a strange energy in the other battlefields. The same thing is happening in Gulu Plain as well, so you can go back now." Zhu Ming voiced coldly.
The bald General wanted to say something but swallowed his words in the end, he looked at Zhu Ming's face with blank eyes for a few seconds before throwing a death glare at Leon.
"I'll be taking my leave," he muttered before disappearing from his spot with a loud bang and a cloud of yellow sand.
After he left, the quarter turned silent as no one said a thing for some time. The disciples were looking at white armoured Zhu Ming, seemingly finding it hard to believe everything that had just happened.
Does it mean that their Senior brother was now going to be this woman's husband?
It was just too unrealistic but that was exactly the case.
Zhu Ming broke the silence after a while, she turned to Leon and said.
"The battle is still ongoing, I'll come look for you again after it's over."
She left right after. At the same time, a notification appeared in Leon's line of sight.
....
Lord of the harem(buff): Increase the strength of harem members around the host.
Current buff percent:25%

...
Leon "..."
He was speechless to see Zhu Ming's name on the list of his harem members. He just picked her, and she already submitted to him completely?
Was the custom so domineering or was it his charm that made her submit?
'Hmm, must be my charm; I'll still pray to whoever created this custom tho.' Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
