At the same time, Zhou Tianyu also glanced at Aben from the corner of his eye, his gaze filled with smugness.
He had already revealed his extraordinary true identity, and he even had hopes of becoming the next Cosmic Sky Clan Patriarch. He was outstanding in every aspect—most women probably wouldn't be able to refuse someone like him.
Moreover, his earlier words had been deliberate, meant to belittle the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor and turn him into a stepping stone, so that he himself would stand out even more.
He believed that someone as dazzling as himself would definitely attract Aben's attention.
Only, what a pity—Aben seemed as if she hadn't heard anything at all. From beginning to end she remained calm and rippleless, still lowering her head to savor the various delicacies laid out on the banquet table. This left Zhou Tianyu a bit disappointed, yet precisely because of this, an even stronger desire for Aben surged within him.
