I Am Overlord Chapter 1245: Let's Spar

Chapter 1245: Let's Spar

Yu Caidie had an extraordinary status because the Yu Clan was Western Desert's number one clan. They were an ancient clan that ruled over an entire province. But how about Devil Concubine's status?
Every True Martial Academy disciple knew of her extraordinary status. Even when she had first arrived at the academy, several high-level elders had personally welcomed her. Even the deputy principal was alarmed by her arrival. At that time, she was only a Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. One could only imagine what kind of a background she had for her arrival to be such a big deal.
Xiang Shaoyun knew Devil Concubine well. She was someone who would always offend someone when she opened her mouth. He hurriedly said, "Alright, stop bickering. More devils are coming. We need to leave."
He had successfully shifted their attention, causing them to focus on leaving. They didn't go too far away and stopped after finding a safe place. They only needed to give Yu Caidie and Yu Ziyang some time to recuperate. At the temporary shelter, Xiang Shaoyun used the Secret Reversal Technique to help accelerate their recovery.
Among the injured, Yu Caidie recovered the fastest as she also had her own recovery secret technique. Her technique was none other than the phoenixes' technique Rebirth in Flame. It was even more effective than Xiang Shaoyun's Secret Reversal Technique.
Xiang Shaoyun would only be able to match Rebirth in Flame's healing speed if his comprehension of the profundity of life deepened. He could clearly sense that Yu Caidie was much more outstanding than her past life's self.
After her recovery, Yu Caidie walked up to Xiang Shaoyun and asked, "In the past, you promised that I was the only woman you loved. But now, you are surrounded by women, and I'm reduced to a mistress. Do you perhaps think that I'm not worthy of you?"
Xiang Shaoyun rubbed his head awkwardly and said, "Th-this is an accident. Accident!"
He had a feeling that he was a different person from his past life's self. Although he had his past life's memories, he behaved in a completely different manner.
"Perhaps time has indeed changed everything," said Yu Caidie with a sigh.
Xiang Shaoyun also sighed as he said, "You're right. We can no longer return to the past." His face turned solemn as he continued, "Regardless, I still love you. You're still my woman. Nobody can take you away from me!"
He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace. Devil Concubine was about to say something, but she eventually looked away. The envy in her heart grew. She had always been possessive. A man had finally caught her eyes, but that man was actually hugging a different woman right in front of her. It was completely understandable why she wouldn't feel too good about it.
"Dream on. Unless you drive all your women away, don't even think of taking my sister as your wife," said Yu Ziyang. He looked at Devil Concubine flatteringly and said, "Devil Concubine, this playboy doesn't suit you. Why don't you be with me instead? I've been in love with you ever since I saw you. Wouldn't it be perfect if the two of us become partners while my sister stays with him?"
Xiang Shaoyun was rendered speechless. He had seen a lot of shameless people, but this was his very first time encountering a shameless brother-in-law. This brother-in-law was actually trying to steal his woman right in front of him.
"If you can defeat him, that might be possible," said Devil Concubine provocatively, still angry.
Yu Ziyang had not turned mad from lovesickness. He had personally witnessed Xiang Shaoyun's strength during the battle earlier. Challenging Xiang Shaoyun was simply asking for a beating.
"Xiang Shaoyun, did you hear what I said earlier? Let me have Devil Concubine, and you can have my sister," Yu Ziyang offered confidently.
Yu Caidie glared at Yu Ziyang unhappily and said, "Brother, how can you act like that?"
"Caidie, for your brother's happiness, also for your own happiness, you should persuade your man to agree," said Yu Ziyang.
Xiang Shaoyun said, "Yu Ziyang, I still remember that we once agreed to have a spar. Why don't we do it now?"
As he said that, he let go of Yu Caidie and walked toward Yu Ziyang. So what if this was his brother-in-law? He would still beat up this brother-in-law if necessary.
"Y-you're trying to challenge me while I'm ridden with injuries? Do you think I'm really scared of you? What's the worst that can happen? Merely death!" said Yu Ziyang righteously.
Xiang Shaoyun didn't even care as he continued walking forward.
Yu Ziyang finally grew timid. He shouted to Yu Caidie, "Sister, you are not married to him yet! You can't side with an outsider against your brother! Don't you see that I'm seriously injured? Stop this fellow. I'll spar with him after I'm fully healed."
But when he saw that Yu Caidie was keeping her mouth shut, he hurriedly turned and fled. He was really afraid that Xiang Shaoyun would beat him up. That would be too embarrassing.
Xiang Shaoyun did not give chase. He turned around and said seriously, "Caidie, Devil Concubine, I need to tell you about my current situation. You can decide for yourself whether you want to continue following me. I don't intend to force you."
He had suddenly changed his mind. He had always viewed Yu Caidie as his woman, regardless of whether it was in his past life or current life. But everything changed in this life. Both he and Yu Caidie had changed. They both held their previous memories, but they were also completely different individuals than their previous selves.
It was impossible for them to return to how they were. Xiang Shaoyun thus decided to give them the freedom to choose. It was pointless to keep dragging this on. He started listing all the women around him. He even told them about his son, Tuoba Lingtian. He hid nothing from them.
Yu Caidie's face turned unsightly. Devil Concubine had a much better reaction in comparison because Xiang Shaoyun had already told her that he was a married man.
However, Devil Concubine was still furious upon learning that he had so many women. She shouted, "What a womanizer!"
Xiang Shaoyun shrugged helplessly and said, "I can't help it. I don't want to hurt any of them. So while you still have the chance to make your choice, do it."
"If I make all of them disappear from your life, will you hate me?" asked Devil Concubine.
"No, but I'll kill you," said Xiang Shaoyun as his eyes flickered with a sharp radiance.
Since he had acknowledged all his women, he wouldn't give any of them up. Thus, he had to protect them.
"You're heartless," said Devil Concubine. "You're a fickle man, but also someone with a sense of responsibility. I don't think I have a choice, as I've fallen for you."
It was now Yu Caidie's turn to make her choice.
