"Alright, alright. He always had a bad temper. You don't have to pay attention to him." Mo Xi pulled her back and reminded her that everyone was looking. "Why are you arguing? Ignore him. Come, drink with me."
Yang Liu suppressed her anger and sat down with pursed lips. However, it could be seen that she was not in a good mood. She poured herself a gla.s.s of wine and took a sip. Then, she put it back down. Her gaze landed on the smiling Mo Xi. The alcohol rolled down her throat and she said in a low voice, "Didn't he look down on that woman previously? Why is it that it's like he ate explosives when I mentioned her this time?
"Is that woman that good?
"Is she beautiful?"
Yang Liu sneered noncommittally. "The independent continent is not a place for beautiful and weak women to stay. What's important here is fists. What else can she do when she comes to Bright Gate other than cry? Is this kind of woman interesting?"
Mo Xi's smile momentarily dropped. He slowly put down the cup and looked at her deeply. "Yang Liu, it's fine if you say this to me, but don't say it in front of Master w.a.n.g. If you're smart, it's best not to say a word. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Yang Liu looked at him in disbelief.
Was that woman that important?
Master w.a.n.g was spoiling that person too much!
She was just a woman. Was there a need to care about her so much?
Mo Dong seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He lowered his head and sneered. "You seem to have misunderstood something. Master w.a.n.g's girlfriend isn't the weak little girl you think she is. She… Hmm… How can I explain? Let's take Mo Dong as an example."
Yang Liu was confused. "What do you mean?"
"Mo Dong thought the same as you previously." Mo Xi pushed up his gla.s.ses up his nose bridge and smiled, looking easy to talk to. "However, he has already learned how to be humble after being 'beaten up' by Miss Qiao!"
Yang Liu clearly understood what he meant by being 'beaten up'. She was extremely shocked. She could not imagine how strong Qiao Nian was to gain the respect of Mo Dong, one of the top martial artists in Bright Gate.
The image of a King Kong Barbie appeared in Yang Liu's mind. For a moment, she actually forgot about her sadness. The corners of her mouth twitched violently. She was silent for a long time before saying, "… Then, Master w.a.n.g's taste is quite strong."
Mo Xi knew that she had misunderstood, but he did not correct her. He only raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously.
"Yes, it's quite strong."

Qiao Nian still didn't know that she had been categorized as a King Kong Barbie.
After eating with Feng Yu and the others, she followed Ye w.a.n.gchuan to the private room where the Bright Gate people were.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan told her that they would leave after saying goodbye. Qiao Nian did not care. Anyway, she was already there.
There were many private rooms in the Mountain Sea Pavilion.
Qiao Nian and the others were in a private room on the top floor.
The private room for Bright Gate's gathering was on the first floor.
The two of them took the elevator down and b.u.mped into Mo Dong, who had come out to smoke.
"Miss Qiao." Mo Dong hurriedly threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it when he saw the girl walking over slowly with her hands crossed. Only then did he notice the man beside her. He belatedly shouted, "Master w.a.n.g."
Ye w.a.n.gchuan was already used to him calling Qiao Nian first before calling him. He could not be bothered to argue with him and only lazily asked, "Why are you outside? Where are the others?"
"I came out to take a breather. The air is stuffy inside." Then, Mo Dong walked back and opened the door for them. "They're all inside. Miss Qiao, come in quickly."
