Just as Brian Bennett was feeling disappointed and was about to close his eyes and randomly snatch something, a sudden flash of light illuminated his eyes.

This was a woman dressed in plain blue clothes, yet she exuded an air of elegance and grace. Yes, elegance and grace—two qualities that should belong to different beautiful women, yet now appeared together in this one woman.

And there was no conflict at all; these two qualities were perfectly fused in her!

She looked to be in her twenties, but there was an underlying aura about her that made people instinctively want to resist—she was an extraordinarily beautiful woman.

In his previous life, Brian Bennett had seen plenty of beauties on TV, but compared to this woman, all those women in his memory instantly faded into the background.

Normally, when faced with such an elegant beauty, Brian Bennett would only look on with admiration. After all, a woman of this caliber was not someone he could casually provoke. Not only him—even his father wouldn’t dare.

But today, after finding out how hard it was to be a villain, Brian Bennett had been so infuriated by the aunties in front of him that he lost his senses.

Finding this woman extremely pleasing to the eye, he strode over and declared directly, “Beautiful lady, I see your life is lonely, so I’ve decided to save you. From now on, you’re my wife!”

These words were spoken with overwhelming confidence and bravado.

But as soon as he finished, Brian Bennett felt a twinge of regret in his heart, realizing he might have gotten himself into trouble he shouldn’t have.

A woman this beautiful, walking alone into Luming Town—this didn’t make sense. Plus, his father had warned him: never provoke women who travel alone in this world!

Most importantly, Brian Bennett noticed that the reputation value displayed for this woman in his mind was actually ten thousand!

And unlike his father and the other townsfolk, whose numbers were in red, hers was a yellow ten thousand!

Although he didn’t know what the yellow ten thousand meant, Brian Bennett knew that he must have lost his mind trying to act like a bully this time.

Just as Brian Bennett was thinking about how to laugh it off and say it was all a misunderstanding to resolve the situation, the woman, who had been bare-faced, first showed a trace of coldness in her eyes, but then a hint of a smile appeared.

A smile that could topple a kingdom.

This smile left everyone within a hundred feet, men and women alike, frozen in place—they had never seen such a beautiful smile.

“You said you want me to be your wife?” The woman pointed at herself and softly asked Brian Bennett.

Although Brian Bennett was much more mentally strong than most, at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel his mind waver. Instinctively, he let out an “oh” in response, about to explain himself.

And thus, end today’s little act of bullying.

But the woman’s next words made Brian Bennett’s heart tremble.

“Alright, from today on, I’ll temporarily be your wife!”

Chapter 3: Youthful Feelings

“Big sister, this really is a misunderstanding!” Looking at the woman walking behind him, who gave off the aura of a queen on parade, Brian Bennett finally made up his mind.

He didn’t know where this woman came from, but he couldn’t bring trouble to his family. She was of unknown origin—who knew what kind of danger might be lurking behind her?

The woman looked at the fidgeting young man, and the smile in her eyes deepened. She chuckled, “Could it be that my husband wants to abandon me after having his way?”

“Just treat it as if I did!” Brian Bennett gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

The woman looked Brian Bennett up and down, noticing the seriousness in his expression—he didn’t seem to be faking it. Her opinion of the young man rose even higher.

She had come down the mountain this time to experience the mortal world and break through the bottleneck that had been troubling her. But even though she had traveled to many places, she still found it hard to blend into ordinary life.

Yet the words Brian Bennett had used to stop her sparked a flash of inspiration in her heart, making her see this as a fateful opportunity about to unfold.

“Usually, those who abandon women after having their way meet a bad end!” The woman’s voice was calm, but a strong killing intent enveloped Brian Bennett at that moment.

Under this killing intent, Brian Bennett felt his heart tremble.

He knew what it meant to have presence. In this life, his father Gavin Bennett was the strongest man in Luming Town, but he didn’t have any real presence to speak of.

But this woman, just with her presence alone, could make him tremble. It seemed he had really struck gold this time!

Following the principle that a wise man doesn’t suffer immediate losses, Brian Bennett had no choice but to wave his hand and say, “How could I bear to abandon you, big sister? I was just joking earlier!”

“So it was a joke. In the future, my husband, you’d better not make such jokes, lest I can’t help but…” The woman didn’t finish her sentence, but her chilling words made Brian Bennett’s heart tremble with fear.
