"Mind your words, madam!" Rayne's gaze turned dangerous as he frowned at Christine. His magical energy also became dangerous.
"Mind your words as well, sir!" Bexia's voice came muffled as he swallowed a piece of meat and turned to look at Rayne.
Rayne looked at Bexia in front of him, feeling extremely displeased. He didn't want to pay attention to Bexia in the first place. In his eyes, he was just a wild boy who didn't know how to behave. Not only did he keep his head buried in eating, but he also didn't even glance at him once.
"Do you even know you're talking to someone?" Rayne's anger was building up in his chest. Who was he, to be approached by a woman and be scolded? Not only that, but he was also looked down upon by this fellow with the fishing rod. It was simply a great humiliation to him.
"I'll give you a chance to take back your words, otherwise, don't blame me, Rayne Payne, for being impolite to you!" His hand had already rested on the slim sword at his waist, emitting an astonishing aura.
However, no one could have expected that in the next moment, Christine stood in front of Bexia, staring at Rayne with a sharp gaze, exuding an intimidating aura. It was as if the moment Rayne made a move, she would poke several holes in his expression.
"Christine, sit down. We're not here to cause trouble!" Bexia patted Christine's back, signaling her not to have any excessive reactions. If it weren't for Bor's reminder earlier, Bexia would never have known that Christine actually possessed Extreme combat power.
"This is the place of the Dragon God Church, Christine, don't mess around." Bexia meant to let Christine be careful. After all, this place could be considered Long Momo's territory. They shouldn't cause any trouble.
However, these words, when heard by Rayne, meant something completely different. He relaxed his grip on the hilt of his sword and smirked. "Now, I suspect you two snuck in here. Do you have an invitation?"
"No? So what? Are you saying that we can't be here without an invitation?" Bexia casually answered, taking a sip of juice.
"What? No invitations? Is that true?"
"They dare to sneak in without invitations, do they have the guts?"
"What's wrong with the guards here? They actually let such a wild child in, they're simply incompetent!"
Seeing Bexia's casual demeanor, as if she didn't care about him at all, Rayne couldn't help but laugh coldly after hearing Bexia's answer. "Haha! It's funny. Sneaking into the Dragon God Church without accepting the invitation. I really wonder if you're bold or just ignorant!"
"Now, I'll give you a choice. Apologize to me right now and get out of here, and I can pretend nothing happened, or I'll let the guards here deal with you."
"Lord Rayne is so merciful! He forgives them so easily!"
"Yes! If all the young people in the kingdom were like Lord Rayne, our country would definitely prosper!"
The flattering voices around made Rayne feel a bit intoxicated. Although he knew they were just flattering him, he enjoyed hearing such words.
However, although Rayne seemed to let Bexia go easily, he had no intention of actually letting him off. In his mind, even if Bexia wanted to apologize, once they left this place, he would have them both tied up. Then, in front of Bexia, he would thoroughly humiliate Christine before sending her to her death. Only his death would resolve his anger.
As for Christine, she could be trained as a female slave. That would be a good choice.
"I think you may have misunderstood. We live here, we don't need any invitations." Bexia lightly smiled and rebutted Rayne's words. He came with Long Momo, did they still need an invitation? Wasn't that ridiculous?
"You live here?!" Rayne burst into laughter upon hearing this. "You, a country bumpkin, dare to claim you live here? Don't you know tonight's banquet is to welcome the goddess?"
"If you're talking about Sis Dragon, then you're right, I came with her."
"That's nonsense! How could my MoMo bring a wild kid like you here?"
"Your home? What's your relationship with Sis Dragon?" Bexia asked curiously.
At this moment, a group of gossip lovers started whispering, "Who doesn't know that Rain likes the Princess, but she hasn't responded to him."
"I guess she's waiting for Rain to become the leader of the Pein family! After all, what's the Princess's identity?"
"We have no connection. Betty, don't think too much!" A familiar voice came, and the crowd automatically made way as Long Momo walked towards Bexia, followed by Bishop Lain and Catezea. No wonder it was so "lively" here, they didn't even react, it seemed like they were with Long Momo.
"MoMo, I didn't know he was your friend..."
Rain immediately became reserved when he saw Long Momo, taking the initiative to show weakness.
"Looks can be deceiving..."
"I didn't expect him to really know the Princess!"
"Where are the dresses I had someone deliver to you? Why aren't you wearing them?" Long Momo looked at Bexia, who was still wearing the same clothes from earlier in the day, and couldn't help but ask.
"Huh?! Sis Dragon, I thought you forgot about me?"
"No!" Bexia immediately realized something was wrong. Seeing Long Momo's expression, she knew she definitely had a dress like Catezea, but how did she suddenly not have it anymore?
"Christine!!" Bexia turned to Christine, who suddenly had no response. There were only the two of them in the room, so if she didn't know anything, it must be because of Christine.
"Oh! I put them away for the master first and forgot when I left!" Christine smiled falsely. "Master, you won't blame me, will you?"
"I see! Then forget it." Bexia understood the situation, but whether she wore the dress or not didn't matter to her. In his eyes, it was the same.
"Come sit with me!" Long Momo held Bexia's hand, ready to take him away, but as soon as she turned around, Rain called out to her.
"MoMo, don't you know my feelings for you? Why haven't you responded to me?"
But Long Momo's response next was unexpected, or rather, no one present would have thought so. She spoke word by word, shocking everyone:
"Today, I'll take this opportunity to announce something!" Long Momo said as she hugged Bexia's arm.
"He is now my fiancé!"
