I Am Overlord Chapter 1292: I'm Shy

Chapter 1292: I'm Shy

The Eighteen Blood-Robed Warriors was an ever-victorious army. They absolutely have the strength to back their reputation. Unfortunately for them, they were nothing before Xiang Shaoyun. It wasn't that they were weak, but Xiang Shaoyun was too strong. Before absolute strength, nothing mattered.
Xiang Shaoyun stomped on the leader, causing him to cough up a copious amount of blood. His previous arrogance was nowhere to be seen.
"Who sent you? Tell me, and I'll give you an easy death," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"Haha, let's die together then," said the leader. He displayed an attitude befitting of someone who had risen through slaughter. As he roared with laughter, he self-detonated, intending to pull Xiang Shaoyun to the grave as well.
A world-shaking explosion erupted, creating numerous shockwaves that spread far and wide. The leader had launched a suicidal attack after realizing that he couldn't escape Xiang Shaoyun. His courage was laudable.
Unfortunately for him, his self-detonation failed to injure Xiang Shaoyun. The moment the leader exploded, Xiang Shaoyun had already retreated rapidly with six layers of Goldplates wrapped around his body.
"He's quite a decisive one. If I had known this, I would have focused on capturing him," muttered Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh.
The Overlord Legion rushed over.
"Overlord, are you fine?" they asked anxiously.
Xiang Shaoyun shook his head. "I'm fine. Just these people are not enough to harm me. I'm only curious why they came after me."
Someone said, "Didn't they demand that you leave Senior Sister Yu Caidie? Maybe they're her admirers?"
"That's right. Senior Sister Yu has a lot of admirers. Overlord, it's only normal that her admirers would come for you," said someone else.
"No, you're wrong. The Eighteen Blood-Robed Warriors might have come because of our senior sister, but they also have a backer," said a different person seriously. He obviously knew more than the others.
"Tell me more," said Xiang Shaoyun.
Xiang Shaoyun knew that this person was Dong Haiming, an eighth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. He wasn't well-known, but he naturally wasn't a pushover since he was a Dragon Phoenix Academy disciple.
"The Eighteen Blood-Robed Warriors should actually be known as the Nineteen Blood-Robed Warriors. Their real leader is someone named Xue Buyi. He is much stronger than all of them combined. It is rumored that he is a pseudo-Saint. Since he had surpassed the other members too much, they renamed themselves the Eighteen Blood-Robed Warriors because they didn't want to be a burden to him," said Dong Haiming.
Someone exclaimed in astonishment, "Xue Buyi? It's him? He is someone capable of entering the top 100 of the Devil Hunting Expedition."
"Xue Buyi? Fine. I'll send him to his brothers if I have the chance," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sneer.
"Overlord, do not underestimate Xue Buyi. He has a blood-soaked cloth rumored to originate from an ancient battlefield. The cloth had absorbed the blood of countless ancient experts. There is a saying that when the blood-soaked cloth appears, even Saints need to retreat. These are definitely not empty words," warned Dong Haiming solemnly.
That saying was indeed enough to show how terrifying the blood-soaked cloth was. With the cloth, Xue Buyi had the strength to face Saints.
Xiang Shaoyun became much more serious after hearing that. "Ok, I'll watch out for him. I hope he doesn't disappoint."
The group resumed their journey back to the fort. Along the way, many people recognized Xiang Shaoyun. However, not one person dared to create trouble for him. After all, not everyone could afford to provoke him. By the time they reached the fort, the Devil Hunting Expedition had also ended.
Those who could return had mostly returned. Those who had yet to return would probably never return. Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to lead the Overlord Legion to look for their other members, a lithe figure rushed toward him.
When Xiang Shaoyun looked over, gentleness covered his face. Before he could speak, that person jumped into his arms and hugged him. Her tender lips directly pressed against his lips.
The sight shocked not only the Overlord Legion members but also all the people around them. The famed Devil Concubine was publicly showing her affection for Xiang Shaoyun—it was quite an overbearing declaration of love.
Many howled in grief, wondering why they couldn't be in Xiang Shaoyun's place. As the number one beauty of her academy, Devil Concubine was well-known and had countless admirers. Now that she was taken, many hearts would be broken.
"The overlord really is amazing. He is basically a role model," said an Overlord Legion member with reverence.
"Who's that kid? He has stolen my goddess!" asked someone furiously.
"He can't be the Xiang Shaoyun Devil Concubine was looking for all this while, right?" asked someone else.
"That's right, he's our overlord, Xiang Shaoyun," said an Overlord Legion member proudly. He spoke loudly, instantly attracting a lot of attention. Numerous powerful auras started approaching from several directions.
"Devil Concubine, release the overlord!" a furious voice rang out as a red silhouette appeared.
Yet another unparalleled beauty had arrived. She was none other than Yu Caidie. She was akin to a bright moon, her beauty permeating deep into the hearts of everyone present. No woman could compare with her boundless elegance and grace.
Devil Concubine's beauty was a different kind. She was tall and had a voluptuous figure. Clad in a black outfit, she was a cold and elegant black rose, akin to a majestic empress. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also domineering. Everyone would feel inferior before her presence.
Devil Concubine ignored Yu Caidie and continued kissing Xiang Shaoyun. Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to continue this public display of affection. He hurriedly separated from her.
"Stop messing around! There are so many people here. I'm shy!" said Xiang Shaoyun with a bashful smile.
Whatever he said, since Devil Concubine had publicly declared her love for him, he wouldn't treat her wrong. Not even Yu Caidie's presence could change his mind.
Devil Concubine could feel Xiang Shaoyun's care for her. She nestled against him like a blissful little girl and said, "Sure, we'll continue when we're alone."
Her words broke the hearts of the numerous men around them.
"If the overlord is going to spend time alone with a woman, that woman can only be me!" said Yu Caidie unhappily.
The men around them nearly fainted. The heavens were unfair!
