Tu Jin choked. Realizing that he would not get to know the truth from him, he angrily decided to continue stuffing his mouth with food. However, when he lowered his head, he discovered that all honey-dipped bluefish on his plate had disappeared.
Of course, Ling Yue would never be the one who stole the food. Xiang BuChen was the only suspect present at the scene.
“Xiang BuChen, return my fish—” Tu Jin roared.
“Here, you can have it back.” Xiang BuChen pushed the plate with the fish bones in front of him.
Looking at the clean and shiny fish bones with no meat left behind, the blue veins on Tu Jin’s temple suddenly became visible. He took the knife and fork from the table and hurled them at the abominable fish thief.
Ling Yue rubbed his forehead and looked at the two making fuss. He had no appetite today. Xiang BuChen took a crucial step forward while he was completely in the dark.
He had always thought that he was the closest person to Yang QiQi among the three of them. Therefore, he naturally felt uncomfortable when he abruptly realized that someone had surpassed him. In any case, he did not intend to risk anything by taking some drastic action. Pursuing a female was naturally a matter of one’s abilities. Xiang BuChen might have his extraordinary schemes but he had his own strong points.
On the other side.
This time, Yang QiQi went to Zheng Shou first. However, when they arrived, he was busy dealing with disputes in a small arena.
And the person who provoked the dispute was LanJing City’s contestant, Female Warrior Wa Hu, whom Yang QiQi strived to avoid. Moreover, the cause of this conflict was actually related to her!
“QiQi ah, they actually said that the difference between you and Female Warrior Xiao Yuan is that of a stone and a pearl.” Seeing Yang QiQi appear, the eyes of Wa Hu and her companions lit up immediately. They looked at her with an expression seeking praise as they gathered around her with an attitude of being her lackeys. Their faces almost made it look like they had little tails wagging furiously behind them. “I agreed with them at that time, saying that they had a good taste. Compared to Female Warrior Xiao Yuan, isn’t our QiQi a sparkling pearl? As for that big and dark Xiao Yuan, she’s really an insignificant stone. And just because of that, they started quibbling with us.”
Such a senseless topic made her family’s Zheng Shou rush to deal with it, huh? Yang QiQi really wanted to throw these two groups into the arena and teach them a bitter lesson.
She swept an eye in the direction of the female beastmen supporting Female Warrior Xiao Yuan. Surprisingly, there were quite a lot of them. But after all, that female was from the strongest green-ranked Saintess Hall in the history of the ChiDu Empire; her fan base was pretty good. As for the female beastmen of LanJing City who put her into the fire, their purpose was also worth considering. No matter whether Wa Hu was really simple-minded or ignorant, the consequence of her actions was Han City directly confronting Cang City and its supporters.
If one thought of it in a good light, Wa Hu and the others really loved and supported her from the bottom of their hearts, so they couldn’t allow others to speak ill of her.
But in the worst case scenario, LanJing City’s people understood that they didn’t have any hope of seizing the crown from Cang City and pushed Yang QiQi to the forefront. She, who clearly had an exceptional strength and seemed to be backed by a yellow or even a red rank Saintess Hall, appeared to steal the thunder. When two tigers fought, it didn’t matter who won and who lost; at the very least, they had nothing to lose.
“Female Warrior Yang QiQi, even if you have red-rank martial arts techniques, you are still no match for Female Warrior Xiao Yuan. Just remember how Female Warrior XiaoCi, who had achieved precise control over the form of her attribute, was defeated by Female Warrior Xu. In front of pure strength, techniques and other such things are nothing. You should have some self-knowledge. Getting a place in the top ten isn’t bad but defeating Lady Xiao Yuan is just your wishful thinking.”
Yang QiQi looked at the uniform of the Female Warrior who spoke up. She turned out to be from DuYue City. Perhaps she was upset because Lady Lin Yun was defeated by her.
Soon after, another round of buzz came from the crowd.
“Shut up!” When Zheng Shou saw that these little females still dared to say such stuff about Yang QiQi, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He smashed a chair with his bare palm.
His anger frightened them, but some still muttered under their breath: “As an enforcer of discipline, you only know how to protect those from your own Saintess Hall. Not impartial at all.”
“Impartial my a*s! Laozi is her male…”
Yang QiQi couldn’t let this foolish and simple-minded bear talk on anymore. After all, he was not only her male but also represented Han City’s official discipline enforcers. At least on the surface, they couldn’t allow others to get ahold of this thing and cause trouble later.
“I’ve never known a beastman whose merits and shortcomings are determined by other people’s words.” Yang QiQi said as she stood in the crowd. Although she was a little shorter, she had a domineering temperament, which was one of the impalpable treasures that had developed in her from the rich experience of her last life. At this moment, she raised her head slightly and spoke neither too fast nor too slow in her clear and melodious voice, “My representative is only myself. I don’t think Female Warrior Xiao Yuan would want so many people to decide for her. As for who wins and who loses, there is no need for everyone to argue needlessly. The final result of the ranking competition will explain everything.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, a burst of applause sounded from the entrance of the small arena. Looking over, they saw three female beastmen walking towards them.
The one at the front had short flaxen hair and was quite delicate and pretty when compared to the other females. The two behind her were of a much more robust build, one was a blonde while the other was a redhead.
“It’s Female Warrior Xiao Yuan, Female Warrior ZiZi, and Female Warrior YueDu.” Someone had recognized them.
It was the flaxen-haired Xiao Yuan who clapped. She came over and stood in front of Yang QiQi: “You are right. The result of our match can only be determined in the arena. How can other people decide it with their thoughtless remarks?”
A smile burst forth on Yang QiQi’s face: “Lady Xiao Yuan, I look forward to meeting you in the arena .”
“I’m looking forward to it too.” Xiao Yuan smiled back at her and then turned to the others. “Have you all eaten lunch? Some of you have your fights in the afternoon, right?”
“Ah, we’ll on our way to eat now.” As her eyes swept over the crowd, the ‘coaxed’ people rushed towards the exit, running faster than rabbits.
