Chu Yeâs eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of slyness. Pointing a finger towards the boy, she said, âWhy donât we have a bet? I bet that the boy will win. If you lose, you will have to take off all the accessories on your bodyâŠand give it to me.â
(The author canât help but jump out: Hey, this is too unscrupulous, conning the little bratâs thingsâŠ)
âWhat if I win?â The boy heard that someone wanted to have a bet with him and his eyes shined.
âWhatever you want!â Chu Ye smiled in an attempt to look more affable.
She will absolutely not lose. She didnât know why, she just felt that the young man would surely be able to win, and her intuition had always been accurate.
âOk, I am betting with you!â The boy smiled, revealing two cute little tiger teeth. âLetâs pinky promise.â
âOk, letâs pinky promise. No backing out.â Chu Ye suddenly felt a pinch of guilt. Swindling such an adorable brat made her feel a little uncomfortable, but when she thought of the boy wickedly screaming for the cyan wind wolf to bite off peopleâs little **, that rare guilty feeling dissipated without a trace.
As Chu Ye talked to the little boy, the fierce battle inside the fighting grounds had reached the climax.
The cyan wind wolf spat out three sharp wind blades three times without any pause, forcing the young man to dodge and to be stuck in a dilemma. It ferociously jumped towards him. Its claws, gleaming with a cold light, scratched at his clean, jade-like face, and its bloody mouth went to bite his slender and fair neck.
âOh!!!â The still cheering nobles in the audience couldnât help but suck in a breath. If the cyan wind wolf succeeded, it was likely that the young man wouldnât be able to survive.
A few people and magical beasts die in the fighting grounds every day. These high-ranking nobles have long been accustomed and used to it. After momentary regret was cheerful talk and laughter.
However, the situation in the fighting field suddenly reversed. The cold face of the young man flashed with a trace of determination. He saw that he wouldnât be able to avoid the cyan wind wolfâs attack and instead, seized the opportunity to punch out.
This punch was too quick, too sudden, too vicious, too accurate. Complacent and sure of its victory, the cyan wind wolf merely thought of the person in front of it as a flower until a big fist was already by its snout.
âKa kaâŠâ The creaking sound of bones shattering.
âWuâŠ(whimper)â The wolf didnât even have the time to let out cries of lament, only a muffled whimper when the huge wolfâs body was sent flying back by four to five meters, slammed onto the ground, and died.
Which part of the wolf was the hardest?
Without a doubt, it was the head!
If one punch from that young master could shatter a cyan wind wolfâs prized head, it was clear that his strength was great and cannot be estimated by ordinary people.
*Crash* The cyan wind wolfâs abrupt death sent the nobles into an uproar.
As you know, most of them bet that the cyan wind wolf would win.
âHey hey heyâŠâ On this side, Chu Ye leaned towards a face looking as dumb as a wooden chicken. He still hasnât recovered from the shock of the death of the wolf. âTake it off! I wonât allow you to break our promise.â
âHumph! I will take it off. I will definitely not go back on my word.â The little boy unwillingly snorted and raised his head to glare at Chu Ye who had her eyebrows raised. Finally, after repeated stomping, he began to take off the accessories from his body one by one.
At this moment, there a sudden shout of surprise not far away. âFound him, found him! Eldest Young Master, the Little Young Master is there.â
Hearing voices, Chu Ye subconsciously looked up and saw Lanxi Liuhua, who looked picturesque with his blue garb, somewhat urgently walking over with the guidance of a small servant.
When the little boy saw Lanxi Liuhua coming, he acted like a mouse catching sight of a cat and immediately hid behind Chu Yeâs bottom in fright.
âAhâŠâ Chu Ye suddenly sweated. It turned out that this brat was actually Lanxi Liuhuaâs younger brother?
âItâs you?â Upon seeing Chu Ye, Lanxi Liuhuaâs azure eyes held a trace of surprise in them, and then his eyes fell on the valuable accessories the little boy had just put down on his seat.
âTruly coincidental!â Chu Ye faintly reddened, a rare sight for her. There was a kind of carefulness often seen when someone doing bad things was caught red-handed.
âIt is indeed very coincidental.â Lanxi Liuhua looked at the blushing Chu Ye and smiled. It was the smile of someone who clearly knew the situation and gave his tacit mutual understanding.
Then, he angrily glared at the little boy hiding behind Chu Ye and reproached him. âXing Xing, youâre still not coming back?â
âBrotherâŠâ Lanxi Liuxing cautiously called out. He then drooped his small head and walked towards Lanxi Liuhua with the image of an obedient child.
âYou are not allowed to run around alone in the future, or else I will tell Father and Mother to make them ground you for three months.â Lanxi Liuhua gravely reprimanded.
Lanxi Liuxing repeatedly nodded, admitting his mistakes.
âBoom!â At that moment, the crisp sound of a beating gong could be heard and another human and beast fight began again.
In the field, it was still the callous young man and the beast was still a cyan wind wolf, like before. But unlike the previous one, there were ten wolves this time, each with a large body, ferocious eyes, and was not inferior to the previous third-grade cyan wind wolf.
âOh! Oh! OhâŠâ The whole audience cheered. With ten enemies, this would be truly exciting.
Numerous people lay down their bets.
Although the young man won before, in this fight, most of the people still bet that the magical beast will win.
Ten cyan wind wolves, they didnât believe that the young man wouldnât die from their bites.
âWow!â One look at the ten wolves and Lanxi Liuxingâs pretty and big eyes brightened. He proudly turned to face Chu Ye and said, âI still want to have a bet with you, and I still bet that the wolf will win. If I win, you will return those things I gave you. Do you dare to bet?â
âDo you dare?â Chu Ye shot back. âCan you still make a bet?â
In fact, she didnât want to bet because this time, she was not confident that he would win. After all, there were a total of ten wolves.
However, Lanxi Liuhua was nearby, and she found it embarrassing to win his younger brotherâs thing and run with them.
Moreover, she didnât think that Lanxi Liuhua would allow his brother to bet with others when he is this young.
It turned out that she had once again mistakenly evaluated him.
Lanxi Liuhua stroked Xiao Liuxingâs head and with an elegant business-like smile, said, âThe set of accessories on Liuxing is worth at least 200,000 gold coins in the market. Here is the 200,000-gold banknote. I will stand in for Xing Xing.â
After speaking, he took out a 200,000-gold banknote from his sleeves and showed it to her.
Having heard what was said, Chu Yeâs face remained calm and collected, but in her heart, she was already a spectacular mess, not because of Lanxi Liuhuaâs extravagance, but because of the value of the things the little brat took off ⊠200,000.
In her opinion, werenât they just some jade, gold, and silver?
Even if they were top-grade crafts, they would at the most be worth three to five thousand gold coins. How can they be worth 200,000?
However, Lanxi Liuhua said so. She also didnât want to question it in his presence and she unaffectedly smiled and agreed. âGood, itâs settled!â
Even if she were to lose, she wouldnât feel heartache. Those originally werenât her things.
