C83 Part2

Translated by An Edited by An

As soon as the four returned to their seat and sat down, Xu motioned them to look at the audience’s area.

Previously, Yang QiQi hadn’t paid much attention to the audience, but when her eyes followed Xu’s fingers, she was shocked by the various kinds of banners they had pulled out.

She noticed a red banner more than four meters long with yellow colors characters written on it:「With the dauntless and powerful newcomer QiQi, our Han City is unstoppable!」

There was another one. This one was written beautifully in cursive handwriting:「Female Warrior QiQi produces waves in the hearts of Han City’s people.」

[ Translator’s Note: I solemnly apologize for murdering the beauty of the two slogans. Please forgive this poor soul and her malfunctioning brain (:з」∠) ]

Several male beastmen, each with a green banner on a meter-long stick, stood there. Each of their banners had different characters written on it. Joining them together, they read:「We love QiQi and Han City.」

…

“The number of QiQi’s supporters is rising steadily,” Xu remarked.

Yang QiQi’s lips curled into a smile as she bowed in the direction of the audience seats to express her gratitude for their deep affection.

The people from Han City were actually very adorable. They didn’t dare to make a loud noise for fear of being warned by the clever moderator on the crystal screen. However, they came up with this method to support her. Their intention itself was invaluable.

“Female Warrior QiQi, I found that you are getting more and more enthusiastic about Han City.”

“In this world, affection is always returned with affection.” Yang QiQi’s eyes swept across the crystal screens, eyeing the situation of each arena as she answered indifferently.

‘Affection is returned with affection?’

The hearts of the four male beastmen stirred with emotion. They seemed to have gained some understanding of Yang QiQi’s principle of dealing with others. She didn’t care much about the strength of a male, nor did she care whether a male’s exterior appearance was attractive or not. So long as the other party genuinely placed her in his heart, she would also cherish him dearly. Just like how Nian JiMo and Zheng Shou offered her their heartfelt feelings and gained her true affection.

Ling Yue and Tu Jin regarded themselves as being truly focusing on her. It might be assumed that it was only a matter of time before they got her acceptance. So, both of the corners of their mouths hooked up slightly.

Xiang BuChen’s eyes turned even more gloomy. He turned his head and stared at the side profile of her face. No one knew what he was thinking.

Xu also fell silent. The index finger and middle finger of his right hand tapped lightly on the armrest, making an inaudible sound.

At this point, the fight in arena No. 3 was over. The next match held there would be the fight Yang QiQi was the most interested in. It was between two contestants of the same representative team of the Saintess Hall of WanQing City.

No. 077, Xu, 15 years old. From WanQing City, water attribute. Five Guardian Beasts, namely: Qiang, Li Yuan, Ai Sen, Su, and Hu Wei.

No. 079, XiaoCi, 17 years old. From WanQing City, water attribute. Five Guardian Beasts, namely: Tu’er Li, Zao Miao, ShanHe, Qing, Lan Xia.

This time, WanQing City’s Saintess Hall sent two contestants with water attribute, their area of expertise, and one with gold attribute. But in the end, on the second day of the competition, they were faced with the situation where one of their own main forces would get eliminated.

At the side of WanQing City’s team, their leader pulled a long face as she instructed them carefully before hugging them both and pushing them out.

Xu and XiaoCi looked at each other without speaking and turned to lead their respective team members to the arena via different passages.

That glance and their act of walking in completely opposite directions, although silent, had already revealed a lot of problems.

Yang QiQi touched her cheek and narrowed her eyes slightly. Perhaps, the actual relationship between these two Female Warriors from WanQing City was not very harmonious. After all, they had the same water attribute, so the presence of grudges between the two was inevitable. Besides, taking part in the ranking competition at the same time meant that even if there were no surprising draws like today’s, they would still consider each other as opponents. Anyway, today’s draw merely brought the long-overdue fight forward.

In any case, who would be the stepping stone and who would step over the opponent was yet to be seen.

The two teams stood still in the arena. Their expressions were calm, but their gazes were already clashing in the air. The audience also seemed to perceive that the two teams in this particular arena would never let the other off easily. On the contrary, this might be an intense match. Hence, all of them withdrew their gazes from the other three matches and focused on this one.

“The third match of arena No. 3 is about to begin. No. 077, Female Warrior Xu from the WanQing City will fight against No. 079, Female Warrior XiaoCi from the WanQing City. As soon as the green light turns on and a ‘beep’ is heard, the match will start. Beep~”
