A man named Du walked over to Diao Chan and said, "Beautiful lady, what are you buying? I'll help you with it."
Up close, Du Xun found Diao Chan and the others to be incredibly beautiful and captivating. He felt that the women he had been with before couldn't compare to them.
"No need, we have plenty of money ourselves and don't require your assistance with purchasing," Diao Chan and the others were displeased to see the man named Du. They frowned. Diao Chan had already identified who he was and wished to avoid any further interaction, opting to leave immediately.
"Don't leave, beautiful ladies, let's be friends." Du Xun's eyes were fixated on these exceptionally outstanding beauties. He was surprised that each of them was a peerless beauty. How could he let such women slip through his grasp?
Du Xun didn't want Diao Chan and the others to leave like this. A group of people blocked their path, which made Zhao Min furious. She prepared to make a move and declared, "We don't want to be friends with you, go away."
"Can't you see our sisters aren't interested in you? Don't ruin our mood for shopping," Xiao Zhao quickly added.
"Look at yourselves, what kind of people are you, to even think of touching us sisters," Xiao Qiao also said indignantly.
Zhou Yan saw the group of people surnamed Du and was surprised. He hadn't expected to encounter them. These were the people from the Du family of the Overseas Immortal Island faction, whom they had met at the city gate earlier.
Seeing those scoundrels blocking Diao Chan and the others, Zhou Yan felt very displeased. "Damn it, they dare to bully my women, Zhou Yan's women."
Although Zhou Yan wouldn't cause trouble, it didn't mean he was a timid person.
If he couldn't even protect his own women, then Zhou Yan wouldn't be a qualified man.
Therefore, Zhou Yan appeared directly in front of the man surnamed Du, looking at him with great displeasure, and said with a hint of anger, "They are my women. What they need to buy doesn't require your help."
"You?" Du Xun looked at Zhou Yan in surprise. He seemed to have some impression of him but couldn't recall where he had seen him before.
But when Du Xun heard that all these women belonged to him, his eyes were almost bursting with jealousy.
He was so jealous that his eyeballs felt like they were about to fall out. Each of these women was a treasure among ten thousand, and they all belonged to this man!
"Kid, name your price, and I'll take these women from you. I'll give you a satisfactory price." Du Xun assumed these women were summoned by him and could only lament the man's good fortune in being able to summon so many beauties.
Hearing Du Xun treating them like commodities, Diao Chan and the others became very angry. However, they did not erupt because they believed in Zhou Yan.
"They are my women, not commodities. If you like them, you can pick whoever you want at the Red Dream Pavilion in Shangyang City."
Zhou Yan was indeed very angry, but he didn't make a move. It would be foolish to kill the other party over this matter.
Sometimes, dealing with such scoundrels didn't necessarily require physical action.
A nearby guard saw Zhou Yan and was slightly surprised. After thinking carefully, he remembered seeing him once before. At that time, he hadn't paid much attention to the women around the other party.
The guard quickly whispered in Du Xun's ear, "Young Master, this is one of the people who made way for us outside the city earlier."
Upon hearing this, Du Xun finally understood where he had seen Zhou Yan before. He was someone who had actively yielded the road to him. What kind of capabilities could he possibly have?
With this thought, Du Xun became even more smug and looked down on Zhou Yan. He then pretended to be arrogant and said, "Kid, since you know who I am, you should know you can't afford to offend me. If you're smart, scram."
Zhou Yan chuckled disdainfully, "I didn't want to get involved with trash like you before. Do you think I'm afraid of a mere Demigod expert?"
"Kid, you dare to insult me!" Du Xun was instantly enraged upon hearing this.
Zhou Yan sneered, "Even your grandfather wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in front of me. Who do you think you are?"
"I'll f*cking kill..."
"Young Master, don't be rash!"
Steward Liu behind him quickly pulled Du Xun back and looked at Zhou Yan, then said, "Young Master, don't be rash."
Then Steward Liu whispered in Du Xun's ear, "Young Master, you must understand that there are many powerful factions outside. Many of them are direct descendants of Demigods. If you offend them, even your father might not be able to protect you."
Hearing this, Du Xun finally calmed down. He then looked at Zhou Yan, seeing his disdainful demeanor, and then recalling Zhou Yan's previous words, he asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"Who I am has nothing to do with you," Zhou Yan retorted directly.
"You..." Du Xun was furious, but the more Zhou Yan showed no fear of him, the more uneasy Du Xun felt.
"Kid, you just wait and see!" Du Xun glared at Zhou Yan fiercely, then left with his men.
Before he could figure out Zhou Yan's identity, he wouldn't act rashly. However, he had already sent people to secretly follow Zhou Yan and the others.
What if the other party had a powerful Demigod expert behind them? As long as they dared to come to his territory, his various items would teach them a lesson.
Furthermore, the defensive towers in his territory could also give them a good reception.
Besides, why would a mere Demigod easily come out to deal with him?
"Lord, that fellow doesn't look like he'll let us off easily." Cai Yan was slightly worried. The other party had a powerful backing, but Zhou Yan was alone.
Seeing the worried expressions of the women, Zhou Yan smiled at them. "Why are you so lacking in confidence? Demigod experts aren't cabbage that appear randomly."
"Even if they do appear, remember, I'm currently at Ziwei Academy. There are many Demigod experts here. Do you think that so-called Demigod would dare to cause trouble there?"
As the saying goes, concern can cloud judgment. They thought about it and realized it was indeed logical.
The other party was just a second-generation rich kid. A small conflict like this was nothing serious.
Zhou Yan continued to purchase materials. However, the attitude of the shopkeepers changed. They said, "We have orders not to sell you anything. We hope you won't make things difficult for us."
Zhou Yan heard this and remembered that Du Xun's paternal aunt was the wife of the Lord of Shangyang City. This shop probably belonged to that city lord.
"That Du fellow is so hateful, it's just some materials, does he really think we're desperate for them!" Zhou Zhiruo said indignantly.
"It's not worth arguing with someone like that. Lord, let's go," Zhen Mi said.
