C99 Part2

……

The Han City residents sitting in the audience’s seats all whispered amongst themselves; they agreed with what Yang QiQi said. But in fact, she didn’t truly mean what she said just now, because, the truth was that not only she herself but also many people with discerning eyes knew that if Han City didn’t get her by a stroke of luck, their real strength would be as Xu said, a ‘second-rate’ Saintess Hall not as good as the other ones.

However, now that Yang QiQi was a member of Han City, everything was different. The winner is considered the king while the loser becomes an outlaw. As long as Yang QiQi achieved good results in the subsequent rounds, Han City Saintess Hall would become a ‘first-rate’ Saintess Hall. Therefore, although she initially had a guilty conscience, she soon became bold and confident.

Female Warrior Xu’s chilly gaze stayed on Yang QiQi’s face for a few seconds and then snorted: “Tomorrow, I will not be lenient on you. At that time, I hope you people of Han City don’t call me vicious again.”

Yang QiQi smiled and touched her nose: “ Aiyo , you cannot be lenient by any means! Your strength is already not that good, and if you don’t do your best, I’m afraid the match will be too boring.”

“You people of Han City don’t have any other skills but you speak well. It seems all your skills went to your sharp mouths.”

“We don’t dare to accept this honor in front of Female Warrior Xu.”

Both the audience in the seat and the participants in the arena could suppress their laughs any longer as a sound of muffled laughter spread.

Xu’s face turned red. Her rather delicate eyebrows were twisted as she turned around angrily and left.

Yang QiQi made a gesture of victory inwardly: She was able to get an upper hand in a verbal faceoff against the opponent before the official match. Oh, wasn’t today too auspicious?!

The other participants nodded to Yang QiQi and left the arena one after another. After so many rounds of the competition, she had already proved her outstanding strength. When facing a strong person, a majority of beastmen were respectful.

“Prior to this, I was still wondering why you only attained the eighth position. But from Female Warrior Xu’s words, I realized it.” Xiao Yuan stepped forward and patted her shoulder, “I think you have good potential.”

“Female Warrior Xiao Yuan’s words really make me extremely honored.”

Xiao Yuan was worthy of being the leading person of the green rank Female Warriors in the ChiDu Empire. Besides her formidable combat power, she was a natural leader in her own right. Calm, attentive, bold, insightful, and magnanimous— she had all of these qualities.

“ Aiyo , QiQi ah, thanks for your help today ah. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have achieved the second position. You say, how can I express my gratitude?” Wa Hu strode forward, wanting to grab Yang QiQi’s shoulder but Xiang BuChen was one step ahead and took the latter into his arms. Ling Yue also moved sideways to obstruct Wa Hu, who stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck over the male beast’s body to look at Yang QiQi. Her voice sounded incomparably aggrieved: “ Ai , QiQi, I had already said that you shouldn’t treat a male beast too well. Now look, look, they have all started to restrict your moves.”

Because the twelve teams spread themselves into four directions, the matter of Yang QiQi helping Wa Hu to suppress Xu was only known by their three teams. Yang QiQi expected Wa Hu to disclose it so carelessly. At this time, the expressions of the few teams leaving the arena flickered.

What was Wa Hu trying to do? Did she want to show them that Yang QiQi belonged to her group? Or was she trying to sabotage her relationship with Female Warrior Xiao Yuan and conveniently have her, Yang QiQi, carry their hostility? Even if the other teams didn’t care too much, WanQing City’s Xu would be even madder at her.

“QiQi ah, why don’t I invite you to lunch today? How about some street food? The food from that YuLong Street is pretty good. Everyone from our representative team has gone there several times. Especially the medicinal cuisine of XiangYun Restaurant. It’s really too good for words ah…”

“Female Warrior Wa Hu, you should pay more attention to hygiene and safety when eating and drinking. It would be best if you eat in the Saintess Hall. Don’t forget what happened to WanQing City’s participant.” Xiao Yuan reminded her quite sincerely before smiling gently at Yang QiQi: “Female Warrior QiQi, see you tomorrow.”

“……”~(≧▽≦)/~ Female Warrior Xiao Yuan really makes this Sister want to admire her ah. With such a high-level opponent, it is no wonder that even the two-faced Female Warrior Wa Hu has to look for a talented helper to deal with her.

After Yang QiQi waved her small hand to send Xiao Yuan off, she felt a headache while thinking of ways to get rid of the clingy Wa Hu. Just at this time, Luo Chong, on behalf of the HallMaster, Lord Mu YouZhi, invited her and her team to his office.

Mu YouZhi was sitting behind the desk holding a teacup. Seeing her, he smiled amiably, looking very benevolent. Every line on his face expressed his appreciation and satisfaction with the team that worked hard for Han City’s glory. He highly affirmed Yang QiQi’s powerful counterattack against Female Warrior Xu’s provocation in the arena, and hoped that she would achieve better results in the next round.

Finally, he took out a dark golden card from the drawer, put it on the table and pushed it toward Yang QiQi: “This is a gold card which cannot be used by anyone other than you. It’s a reward for your achievement in this competition till now. The amount is not much though, only a million suo . After the sixth round, every time you win a match, you will have a corresponding amount of money issued to you.”

This card was similar to the greenish-blue card that Yang QiQi had. As a Female Warrior, she received 50,000 suo every month. So far, although she had not spent it, she knew that the amount was quite a lot because she knew that the annual salary of an ordinary attendant was nearly that much. And since the prize money was so generous for the matches till now, she believed that after the sixth round, her income for each victory would only get larger and larger.

Moreover, this million suo was for herself only. Ling Yue and the two would get their rewards from the Nursery Hall. How much would that be?

(*^◎^*) Was she going to become a wealthy woman?

No wonder these beastmen were so obsessed with martial arts. ‘Money’ can be earned like this too ah!

For the sake of giving her this gold card, Yang QiQi patiently listened to Mu YouZhi’s lengthy encouragement speech, and finally left his office.

“Ah Ling, wait outside for a second, I’ll go and take a look at Ah Ji.” Nian JiMo’s assistant’s office was just beside Mu YouZhi’s office. She was itching to go there from long before. So as soon as she obtained her freedom, she quickly went to knock on the door.

“QiQi.” Unexpectedly, Nian JiMo opened the door himself. He nodded to Xu and the others in the corridor, pulled the little female in and closed the door.

“Ah Ji, did you know I would come?” She skipped lightly, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his narrow waist as she kissed his cheek twice. After that, she showed him the dark gold card and raised her chin complacently: “This Sister is now a little rich woman. There’s a million suo in it oh~”
