Everyone was shocked when they heard Brenda's words.

Everyone was staring at her.

Were these words something a 7-year-old was capable of saying?

Does such a young child even know what marrying someone means?

Brenda noticed the crowd's shocked faces so she once again said seriously: "When I, I, I grow up, I will marry big brother so that he will never leave me. Right, it should be like this. This is something my mother told me so it should be correct, right? Big brother?"

Maxwell responded with a forced smile since he didn't know how to reply.

It was Constantine who was the first to say something as he muttered: "We're screwed this time; one table for mahjong isn't enough anymore!"

Arianna and Lilith's expressions turned cold as they glared at Constantine.

Constantine shrank his head down and quickly escaped to the side. He was whistling calmly with an expression like he didn't say a thing and had nothing to do with this.

"Brenda, he's a smelly scoundrel so you need to keep your distance from him in the future." Arianna rolled her eyes at Maxwell before saying this gently to Brenda.

Lilith directly glared at Maxwell and said: "What have you been teaching her? It can't be that you're not even letting a 7-year-old child off right? You are truly a huge scoundrel! Humph, like hell I'm going to battle 3000 rounds with you anymore. Good, Brenda, you definitely must keep your distance from him. He's a big bad egg!"

"Shit!"

"What the hell did I do? I didn't even say a word and have become a big bad egg and a scoundrel. Can this place be anymore unreasonable?" Maxwell was complaining in resentment toward himself. When he looked at those towering twin peaks on Lilith, he then quickly complained out loud: "I remember you told me that once I've arrived at the Capital City, you would be clean and naked waiting for me on the bed. Could it be that you're breaking your promise? A gentleman's words cannot be unsaid!"

Lilith harrumphed before replying: "I did say that but I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a woman with a slightly larger chest. So what if I'm going to break my promise? You gonna bite me? Bite me if you have the guts!"

Lilith perked her chest up as she said that, raising them all the way in front of Maxwell's face. She then had an expression of "Go ahead and bite it if you dare."

Maxwell really wanted to take a bite.

But…

There were too many people here.

Maxwell gave a long sigh in his heart before saying out loud: "Oh ye great earth and heavens, how can you treat me like this? What did I do wrong? I really didn't do anything…"

"You're not even letting a 7-year-old girl off and you ask what you've done wrong?" Arianna said with an angry pout.

Lilith immediately sided with her and said: "That's right! Brenda is so innocent, cute, and beautiful, so how could we not figure out what your heart is thinking? It's definitely filthy to the max, humph!"

Suddenly…

Maxwell felt like there was no convincing explanation he could use to defend himself.

He had a sharp tongue and was considered a king in debates, but he couldn't say a single word in retort right now. Maxwell could only sigh in his heart and wonder what kind of world this was.

Brenda blinked her big eyes and said: "Why are you guys calling him a big bad egg and a smelly scoundrel yet you two still like him so much?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"We would never like a big bad egg like him." Lilith and Arianna both said in unison. But their faces had turned red, obviously showing they didn't mean what they had said.

"Hahaha…"

"Your words are too good! Finally, someone is speaking on my behalf!" Maxwell almost felt like crying in happiness.

Brenda giggled happily and said: "Big brother, you are the world's greatest man. Mother said that if I were to marry someone, I need to marry someone like that. Big brother, you're going to marry me when I grow up right?"

Very direct!

It was so direct that Maxwell didn't know how to answer.

Was this a marriage proposal?

Maxwell swallowed a few times and said with a smile: "When you get older and know more things, you will find the greatest man for yourself."

"En!"

Brenda then became a bit sad and muttered: "Big brother, I miss my mother."

Maxwell's heart sank a bit as he patted Brenda's head: "Good, big brother will definitely help you find your mother."

The time limit for the S-rank quest only had about a month left!

Within this month, he had to think of a way to rescue Brenda's mother.

This was no longer merely a quest; it was something Maxwell had to accomplish. He promised Brenda that he would allow her to lead a happy life. If he couldn't rescue Brenda's mother, most likely she would be unhappy for the rest of her life.

The Great Alliance!

Maxwell's heart turned serious as he said internally: "No matter what price I have to pay, I have to save her from that place. Whether it's an auction or outright robbing the place, I have to complete it with all my might. This was the promise I made to Brenda."

It was a pinky promise!

At this moment…

Adam came over.

Behind him was an elderly person who looked rather dejected.

Upon looking at Maxwell and sending out his senses, he determined that Maxwell was indeed at the level 8 King rank. He couldn't help but wonder to himself: "How did he level up to level 8 King rank already? Did he skip some levels? In less than half a month… even if he has a heaven-defying talent, there's still no way he can be this quick!"

He couldn't figure it out.

John really couldn't figure out what kind of existence Maxwell.

This was still a small matter because the thing that annoyed him the most was the disappearance of 10 jars of Dragon Jade Wine. This was one of the top wines of all wines, and there it disappeared into a puff of smoke.

Maxwell walked up to welcome him and cupped his hands: "Ninth brother!"

Adam couldn't hold back his excitement and said: "Idol!"

"Idol?"

Arianna's ears perked up when he heard the word 'idol' so she stared at Maxwell and asked: "You're the idol of my ninth brother?"

Adam realised this was something he shouldn't have said and helplessly forced a laugh. "Levelling up to level 8 King rank in half a month… any martial cultivator would see him as an idol right?"

"So that's the case…"

Arianna lightly smiled and said: "I mistakenly thought you were the ninth brother's idol, humph! I'm going to marry a man like the ninth brother's idol while you're not the type I'm going to marry, humph!"

Maxwell laughed out bitterly and said: "I'm still rather afraid that your ninth brother's idol is going to beat me until my teeth scatter all over the ground."

Immediately after…

Maxwell was too lazy to continue bothering with Arianna. He cupped his fists and said seriously: "Thank you ninth brother for your assistance."

Right after that…

Maxwell turned towards James and made a 90-degree bow and said: "Thank you senior for secretly protecting Brenda. Thank you!"

Adam was stunned by this and said unhappily: "What are you doing? Back then…"

He wanted to say that Maxwell had saved him at the Dead City but upon realising Arianna was still nearby, he managed to stop himself. He then changed his words: "You don't have to be so overly polite to us since it's something we should be doing."

James lightly smiled and said: "It's just a minor matter."

At the same time…

He was looking up and down at Maxwell and didn't find anything strange about him. He could only continue wondering how Maxwell could make levelling up so quickly.

John walked over as well and started circling around Maxwell like he was examining him. He then said with a grin: "What did a kid like you eat while growing up? Your speed in levelling up is a bit too fast, causing me to be in such a miserable situation. Sigh…"

As those words were being said…

A figure in white descended like an immortal.
