Even though Hong Kun had resigned himself to his fate during the day, even entrusting the Snake Maiden to him, Liu Mang clearly saw in Hong Kun's eyes as he looked at the Snake Maiden, full of reluctance and discontent.
Liu Mang had no doubt that, given the chance, Hong Kun would definitely want to snatch the Snake Maiden back.
Liu Mang would never agree to such a thing. He didn't care about the previous relationship between Hong Kun and the Snake Maiden. All he knew was that the Snake Maiden's first man was him, Liu Mang, and the last man must also be him, Liu Mang. He absolutely wouldn't allow any other men to touch her.
The Snake Maiden belonged to him, Liu Mang, be it her body, her heart, or her future—or her entire lifetime.
He intended to brand his mark on this woman's body, making it impossible for her to accept any other man, even her once betrothed.
