Chapter 289: Striking Up a Conversation
From around the stage, the audience cheered. Finally, they had witnessed Baili Han’s true strength. The Deity’s Servant Girl who was at Battle Qi Level 8 and who even had the help of ancient scriptures was still so vulnerable before him. There was no one left in the fighting ring by now, but the audience was still reliving the match just now. Baili Han’s calm figure was like a swift blow that deeply ingrained itself into their minds.
Was this what someone in the realm of the Great Fulfilment could do after experiencing Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body? Exactly who would have the qualifications to be his final opponent? Even though there was another round to go before the finals, everyone already felt like they couldn’t wait for it.
The final match was scheduled for five days later. During this period of time, the semi-finalists could recharge their energy. Ling Chuxi was being discussed by everyone. She was a dark horse that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. However, the gambling houses had already stopped accepting bets, therefore it was impossible for anyone to place anymore bets on her.
On the eve of the final match, Ling Chuxi felt at ease. At this moment, she was walking along the main street with Lan Xinyu to do some shopping. Because of the results of this competition, the both of them had won quite a bit of money so they decided to buy a few things for themselves and relax before the match.
“Go and line up and get two portions,” ordered Ling Chuxi to Lan Xinyu as she pointed towards a snack shop by the side of the street. A long queue was in front of the shop and Lan Xinyu felt a bit fearful just looking at it.
“And what about you?” asked Lan Xinyu as she glared at Ling Chuxi.
“I will be eating tofu pudding over there while waiting for you,” replied Ling Chuxi as she pointed at the tofu pudding stall across the street.
“Oi. What right do you have to order me around?” questioned Lan Xinyu.
“Based on the fact that I’ve helped you win so much money and that you can’t defeat me,” replied Ling Chuxi threateningly as she waved her fist around and narrowed her eyes.
Lan Xinyu choked up and no longer said a word, then she obediently went to queue up to buy the snacks that Ling Chuxi wanted. Ling Chuxi giggled and walked into the stall across the street to find a place to sit. Then she said to the boss. “Boss, give me two bowls of salty tofu pudding.”
“All right,” replied the boss who quickly went to scoop the tofu pudding.
The boss very quickly brought Ling Chuxi’s order over to her and just as Ling Chuxi was about to dig it, a big sister sat beside her. Ling Chuxi very clearly heard the chair this big sister sat down on creak.
“Young lady, you don’t mind sharing a table, do you?” asked the big sister politely as she smiled at Ling Chuxi.
“I don’t mind, I don’t mind,” replied Ling Chuxi as she shook her head. Earlier on, she had almost spat out her mouthful of tofu pudding. This big sister had a double chin, squinty eyes, a meaty face and definitely weighed more than 100 kilograms.
After that big sister sat down, she ordered five bowls of tofu pudding for herself and started to eat very loudly. The noises she made were extremely loud and unsettling. Ling Chuxi who was eating next to her was very quickly losing her appetite.
Just at this moment, a whiff of cologne wafted into Ling Chuxi’s nostrils. The next moment, a man sat down at the table.
‘Eh? Is this place so busy? Another one here has to share this table?’ thought Ling Chuxi to herself as she sized up the man who had sat opposite her with a slight frown. The man before her was dressed in white, a very blinding white. His face was not bad looking and frankly speaking, he could be considered beautiful. There was a delicate and feminine aura to him, and the faint scent of cologne Ling Chuxi smelled earlier was coming from his body. His eyes were expressive and there were ripples of emotion in them. What did this person wish to do exactly?
“My lady, how do you find the tofu pudding?” asked the man. He had started to bat his eyes at the sturdy big sister, sending flirty looks her way as soon as he sat down. And now, he was clearly starting up a pick-up conversation. However, Ling Chuxi could see that this man was forcefully suppressing his dislike to do this.
Why was this so?
