Meanwhile, Mnie Fennimore was sizing up Harleen, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise involuntarily.


    Throughout her life, she had always had absolute confidence in herself, especially in her martial arts talent and appearance.


    Over the years, she had nevere across someone who captured her attention. But when she saw Harleen, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of self-doubt deep inside.


    Harleen surpassed Mnie Fennimore in both facial features and figure, making her feel uneasy.


    “So, you’re my man’s wife?” Adjusting her emotions slightly, Mnie Fennimore blurted out a shocking statement.


    Billy and the others standing behind Harleen couldn’t help but twitch their mouths at her audacity.


    “Hehe, Miss Fennimore is quite humorous!” Harleen kept a smile. “Is it appropriate for you to call my husband your man in front of me?”


    “What’s wrong with that? He was supposed to be my bridegroom. You just got ahead of me,” Mnie Fennimore responded.


    “Is that so?” Harleen smiled again. “But I’ve asked my husband, and he hasn’t even heard your name before today.”


    “If everyone came to im a rtionship with my husband like you, I’m afraid he would have millions of partners!”


    “You…” Mnie Fennimore was infuriated.


    “For the sake of your own reputation, I advise you to watch your words!” Harleen interrupted her directly. “Otherwise, if news of this spreads, you will find it hard to find a man who will want to marry you in the future.”


    “Hmph! I will make you regret it soon!” Mnie Fennimore snorted coldly.


    “Tell me then! What is your goal in challenging me so publicly today?” Harleen spoke up again. “Is it just to prove that your martial arts are superior to mine?”N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    “I want a fair fight with you. The winner will be Billy’s wife!” Mnie Fennimore once again made a shocking statement.


    Bob and the others were astounded by her words. They had never encountered such an audacious youngdy before. Even the members of the Phoenix Divine Pce were equally stunned by her statement.


    “Hehe!” Harleen couldn’t help butugh at Mnie Fennimore’s ignorance. “Miss Fennimore, you haven’t understood the situation.”


    “To my family, you are just an outsider. What qualification do you have topete with me for the position of Billy’s wife?”


    After saying that, Harleen changed the topic. “If you really want to challenge me, let’s make a bet!”


    “What do you want to bet?” Mnie Fennimore replied.


    “If I lose, you can do whatever you want to me. I won’t stop you,” Harleen responded. “And if you lose, I don’t need anything from you, just promise me not to set foot in the capital from now on.”


    “Also, hand over that sword in your hand to me. How about that?”


    Harleen had noticed the ancient sword in Mnie Fennimore’s hand at first nce. Although she didn’t know the origin of that sword, she had released her spiritual power to investigate it. It was definitely an artifact that could enhance one’sbat power. Its grade was probably higher than her own “Heartless” sword.


    “Keep your word then.” Mnie Fennimore didn’t hesitate and agreed.


    Although the sword in her hand was a divine weapon and precious to her, she didn’t think she would lose. She had already learned about Harleen’s cultivation through her sources yesterday and knew that Harleen was one rank below her. That’s why she dared to challenge her. Moreover, she had investigated Harleen’s martial arts aura just now, confirmed that Harleen was only a sixth-rank Saint. Furthermore, the sword in her hand could boost her cultivation by one rank.


    So, she was confident she could easily crush her opponent. In her mind, she was already considering how to deal with Harleen after winning thepetition, making her admit her identity.


    “Miss, Phoenix de was specially crafted for you by the Pce Master. It can’t-” a in-clothed old man, who was standing behind Mnie Fennimore, began to speak.


    “It’s alright, I know!” Mnie Fennimore interrupted him directly.


    The old man wanted to say a few more words of persuasion but thought better of it and remained silent. Perhaps, in his opinion, Harleen really had no chance of winning whatsoever!


    “Are you agreeing then? Don’t go back on your word!” Harleen continued to look at Mnie Fennimore.


    “Stop the nonsense and make your move! I will show you absolute strength!” Mnie Fennimore replied.


    “Very well!” Harleen shrugged her shoulders.


    “Honey, be careful!” Billy spoke up.


    Otis Hum and Bob reminded her as well.


    “It’s alright!” Harleen replied with a smile.


    Two minutester, the Central Sky Office and the spectators from both sides retreated to a kilometer away.


    “Make your move!” Harleen looked at Mnie Fennimore and spoke calmly.


    “Good!” Mnie Fennimore said in a low voice. The aura around her instantly rose.


    Immediately, she swiftly approached Harleen with the sword in hand, a sword light shot out like lightning, the momentum unstoppable.


    Harleen didn’t stand idle either. She drew her ‘Heartless’ sword and met Mnie Fennimore head-on.


    In the next moment, the two engaged in a fierce battle. Within a kilometer of their surroundings, sharp sword lights kept shing.


    Although Harleen’s cultivation was half a rank lower than her opponent, she still held the advantage and remained undefeated even without using her trump cards.


    After a short while, the two had fought for more than a dozen rounds, and both sides were evenly matched.


    “Lord Dragon, will Lady Harleen be in danger?” a kilometer away, Otis Hum asked Billy.


    He hadn’t seen Harleen in action for a while, so he couldn’t help but worry, considering the one-level difference between them.


    “Mr Hum, rest assured!” Judge replied.


    “With Harleen’s current strength, dealing with a seventh-rank Saint opponent who relied on cultivation resources is a piece of cake!”


    “Harleen is just treating her as a sparring partner now! If she really goes all out, it would be over in just one move!”


    “Alright then!” Otis Hum’s mouth twitched slightly.


    As they conversed, people from the Phoenix Divine Pce on the other side were also discussing the situation.


    “Elder nkenship, theoretically, with Miss Fennimore having Phoenix de, dealing with a sixth-rank Saint should be effortless,” a man in a robe addressed the in-clothed old man.


    “But why are they in a stalemate? Is Miss Fennimore hiding her true strength?”


    “That sword in the opponent’s hand is also extraordinary!” The in-clothed old man looked towards the battleground, deep in thought.


    “What do you mean?” The man was slightly puzzled. “Elder nkenship, are you saying that her sword can enhance herbat power as well?”


    “Most likely!” The in-clothed old man nodded slightly.


    “No wonder!” Another woman responded. “Will  Miss Fennimore be in danger then?”


    “How is that possible!” The man in the the robe replied.


    “Even if the weapons in their hands are evenly matched, don’t forget, Miss is a seventh-rank Saint. How could she…”


    “Ah…” Before he could finish his sentence, a cry of surprise from Mnie Fennimore rang out from the center of the battleground.
