A hint of surprise flashed across Leng Ningshuang's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by curiosity.
"Oh? How do you want to play?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
The noisy voices around also quieted down at this moment.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Youran.
She stretched out her finger and pointed outside the window at the front of the Emperor's Club.
There stands a statue called "Sky Watcher".
The angel in the statue raises his hands as if to touch the sky.
Stand firmly on one leg, bend the other leg slightly, and lightly touch the ground with your toes, as if you are about to spread your wings and soar into the sky.
"See that statue?"
Gu Youran withdrew his gaze, his eyes full of challenge.
"The loser must stand under the statue for two hours, imitating the posture of an angel."
When these words were spoken, everyone around was shocked.
Standing in this position for two hours is not only a great test for the body, but also looks quite funny.
It was simply a prank bet.
Besides, this is the emperor's place, where important people often come and go.
To make a fool of oneself here would be a complete disgrace to one's reputation.
Leng Ningshuang's face was full of disbelief.
She didn't expect that Gu Youran would propose such an unusual bet.
She frowned and thought, weighing the pros and cons of this bet.
The people around also began to whisper and talk.
They were also shocked by this sudden bet.
Leng Ningshuang glanced at Mu Xuewei who was sitting opposite her.
Mu Xuewei nodded slightly, indicating her agreement.
Leng Ningshuang withdrew her gaze and looked directly at Gu Youran.
"Are you sure you want to play like this?"
Gu Youran nodded, his eyes full of determination.
"Of course, I do what I say. Why, you don't dare?"
Leng Ningshuang was inspired to fight by Gu Youran's words.
She snorted coldly, "Provocation doesn't work on me. I just think your bet is too frivolous."
"Originally, for Shi Heng's sake, I wanted to give you some leeway. However, since you want to play so much, I'll accompany you to the end!"
As Leng Ningshuang finished speaking, the atmosphere around them became tense again.
This bet is no longer just a contest of billiards skills.
It is also a competition of dignity and courage.
The guests at the tables next to them were attracted by the movement here.
They put down their clubs and gathered around.
Soon, the pool table was surrounded by people.
Everyone held their breath, ready to witness this unusual showdown.
At this time, Leng Ningshuang stood beside the pool table, with her arms folded across her chest, her eyes full of confidence.
It was as if the outcome of victory had already been foreseen.
"Gu Youran, since you're the guest, you'll start first. Best of three games, two out of three."
Gu Youran smiled faintly without saying much, walked to the pool table, picked up the cue, and started the first game.
She took a deep breath and looked intently at the balls on the pool table.
She swung the club lightly, and the first ball flew out steadily, rolled along the predetermined track, and finally fell into the hole.
Following Gu Youran's series of accurate shots.
The balls on the pool table are decreasing one by one.
Until only the last one was left, lying alone in a corner of the table.
There is an almost insurmountable distance between the ball and the hole.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire billiard room was extremely tense.
Even the breathing became heavy.
At this time, discussions were heard one after another nearby.
"Can I create a miracle and complete the last shot with this last ball?"
"How is this possible? There's no way to get into the hole from that position unless a miracle happens."
"Yeah, the position of this ball is too tricky."
Leng Ningshuang stood aside, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes fixed on the ball that would decide the outcome.
There was an imperceptible tension on his face.
The audience beside him opened their eyes wide, afraid of missing any details.
Gu Youran took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes full of determination and confidence.
She gripped the club tightly with both hands, as if to concentrate all her strength in this moment.
Suddenly, she moved!
The movement was smooth and quick, and the club drew an arc almost in an instant.
Hit that seemingly hopeless shot.
The ball was in the air, drawing an incredible track.
It was as if being pulled by some mysterious force, passing through everyone's sight.
Heading straight for...the hole.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Everyone's eyes were closely following the trajectory of the ball.
Until the ball "clangs" and falls steadily into the hole, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
The crowd instantly erupted into thunderous applause and cheers.
"Oh my God, what am I seeing? This is a miracle!"
"It's incredible! This is definitely a classic scene in billiards history!"
In the first game, Gu Youran won the victory with an amazing "one-shot clear".
And the condensation frost, although maintaining its demeanor on the surface.
But the inner turmoil is difficult to conceal.
The second game begins.
Leng Ningshuang walked to the pool table, picked up the cue, her fingers trembling slightly.
That was the tension and anxiety in her heart.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
But the panic in his eyes was difficult to conceal completely.
She knew that she had to give her all in this game, otherwise she would lose everything.
The audience's gazes were like sharp blades, cutting through every inch of tension in the air.
Condensation Frost aimed at the target and swung the club slowly.
