Yang QiQi sat up straight and looked directly at HallMaster Mu YouZhi, who was waving his arms as he gave a speech on the stage. From a quick glance, she seemed to be the one who was paying the greatest attention to his words but if one took a closer look at her eyes, they would find out that her gaze was empty and out of focus. She was exactly that type of person who didn’t have enough patience to listen to this kind of lengthy public speech; her focus had long since flown away.
[ T/N: This type of mental damage is really not tolerable… I fully understand QiQi’s pain… ( ; ω ; )]
Today, HallMaster Mu YouZhi was dressed very solemnly. He seemed to have applied some pomade on his hair and combed it back together. Standing on the stage like that, he really did look quite imposing. He gave an impassioned speech about the origin of this ranking competition, its significance, how there was a dark horse in one of the past ranking competitions, how she counterattacked, the history of Han City, and also how the people here always warmly welcomed guests from afar. In the end, he didn’t forget to encourage everyone to work hard. He concluded his long speech by offering his best wishes to everyone and hoping that they would obtain great results.
After he finished speaking, he invited a female beastman in her fifties to the stage and introduced her as Lady When Wen, the high-ranking Female Warrior who had come here as the envoy of the Yellow-ranked Saintess Hall in WeiYang. That city was a direct superior to Han City.
The loud applause of the beastmen in the audiences’ seats brought Yang QiQi back to her senses. When she looked at the huge crystal screen hanging above the arena, the fat old male was replaced by an old female. That old female was not particularly thin either; she looked completely out of shape in her superior quality rose-red dress that squeezed the loose fats of her body. Her red hair was tied into a high bun and a large, bright yellow flower was inserted into it. A thick, wall-like layer of white was smeared on her face and her lips were painted as red as blood… Overall, her impression was not as good as that of the HallMaster, Mu YouZhi.
However, this Lady Wen Wen herself felt very comfortable in it. She suppressed her natural loud voice as much as possible, in hopes of imitating the tender voice of a little female beastman. Occasionally, she even swung her bucket-like waist.
Yang QiQi couldn’t focus on what she was talking about; her attention was locked on her dress. It was clearly worth a lot of money. Wasn’t she afraid that the stitches on the skirt of her dress would tear if she swung her waist so much?
Perhaps the Beast God also liked to poke fun at others. Lady Wen Wen was so stirred up by her own speech that while she gasped for breath, she forgot to retract her belly. And just at that time, the stitches of the skirt really split open with a loud sound. Almost immediately, the loose and shining white fat, which had been bound for a long time, rushed out from the narrow slit, widening the gap. The cameraman was also an improper one, giving a close-up of the damaged part. Due to this, even the fine hairs on the skin could be seen clearly.
“Ah—” Lady Wen Wen covered that area with her hands and screamed loudly in her natural voice. Moreover, since sound enhancers were being used to broadcast her speech, everyone seemed to see darkness in front of their eyes as they covered their ears.
Not caring about the pain in his ears, Ling Yue reached out to cover Yang QiQi’s ears. However, he discovered that the little female had already been embraced by Xiang BuChen, and her head was pressed tightly against his chest.
~~~~(>_<)~~~~ ‘Why am I always one step behind him? Xiang BuChen, this brat, is too fast!’
Yang QiQi was forcibly pressed against Xiang BuChen’s chest by him. Nevertheless, her hands were hanging in the air; she didn’t know where to put them.
‘This apprentice is still very filial. That he can still think about protecting his Master before himself when experiencing this kind of a situation really touched this Sister’s heart ah.’ She really couldn’t deny it. But Yang QiQi thought again: ‘But, his Master, that is me, still hasn’t reached her seventies nor are her hands crippled. Isn’t his reaction a bit excessive?!’
With her face pasted on his chest, the skin of the two was only separated by a thin layer of summer clothing. The male’s deep and resounding breath shot straight into her nostrils while his vigorous heartbeat filled her ears. A strange sensation emerged in her heart. She quickly put her hand on his arm and patted it lightly to give him a sign to let go of her.
After finally getting to hold her in his arms, how could Xiang BuChen let go of her so easily? So he simply pretended not to understand her actions.
Unable to get free, Yang QiQi pressed Xiang BuChen’s ‘ma acupoint’ and was finally able to make him let go. As soon as she got back to her seat, she saw Female Warrior Lady Wen Wen on the big crystal screen. She swung her waist and dashed off the stage, covering her face. In such a way, the bright and dazzling female in the rose-red dress left her sight.
No one knew who laughed first, but in the end, it led everyone else to roar with laughter.
Mu YouZhi had no choice but to get on the stage again to clear up the mess. Still, whatever excuse he gave now would only heighten the scandal caused by the envoy of the Yellow-ranked Saintess Hall on the stage. So he simply decided to avoid mentioning the fiasco that happened just now. Clearing his throat with a light cough, he directly announced the commencement of drawing the lots for the opening battles in the sub-arenas.
