Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Five, four, three...
Shen Muyun listened to the noisy sounds in his ears and felt inexplicably irritated. Was it really worth it to go so crazy for a dispensable victory? However, he didn't have much time to think. This was a victory he had won with his life, and that was a contract that concerned the fate of the Shen family. It was not a loss, not a loss.
After Himi felt the unusual pain, he almost instantly ran forward, as if he had gone mad, roared towards the sky, and his speed increased a lot. The distance between the two of them was getting bigger and bigger, but now it seemed to have shrunk a lot. Zhou Shi listened to the movement behind him, turned his head and looked, and saw Shen Muyun rushing up. He couldn't help but be shocked. The finish line was so close, it was impossible for him to lose again at this point. This would be a loss of face.
"Damn it, isn't it foolproof? The staff at the horse farm were finally bribed. What method did this Shen Muyun use?" Zhou Shiqing grabbed the reins and watched Shen Muyun cross the finish line. He jumped off the horse directly, kicking the wooden stake beside him as if to vent his anger, and glanced in his direction viciously.
Himi did well and crossed the finish line at high speed. The atmosphere was instantly ignited by the cheers of the crowd and noisy discussions were heard everywhere.
"Did you see that? A madman naturally has a madman's way of winning. They said the second young master of the Shen family could win. Who said that just now? It was that bet, 200,000 yuan or something. Didn't they say that anyone who saw it got a share? Where is the person? Did he just run away like a turtle?"
"Come on, didn't you see Shen Muyun's actions? Look, his horse hasn't slowed down yet. If he continues like this, who knows what will happen. There's a barbed wire fence in front. If he hits it..."
"Tsk, winning is all that matters, regardless of the means. If they dare to do this, they must have made sufficient preparations. Just wait and see. But wasn't the Zhou family's young master almost winning just now? Oh, so exciting! As expected, these live competitions are the most interesting. No one knows the outcome until the very last moment."
Everyone was talking about it, and Shen Muyun had no time to listen to what they said specifically. He just held the reins tightly, and his body swayed from side to side under Himi's violent shaking. It was impossible to jump the horse at such a fast speed. As for the anesthetic, it was about to take effect. The wire mesh in front could be seen. He pulled the reins hard, but Himi showed no sign of turning.
Shen Liuyun and Lu Huainan were staring at Shen Muyun's movements on the stage. They thought he had some good plan, but it seemed that this was completely reckless.
Lu Huainan jumped off the stand and casually got on a horse, "Liuyun, go find a doctor quickly. I'll go chase Muyun."
Listening to Lu Huainan's words, Shen Liuyun nodded, frowned and looked at the chaotic scene on the field, then turned and walked towards the exit of the stands.
Lu Huainan took a detour. He had just roughly estimated Himi's speed and looked at the path it took to run away in a straight line. It was just right and he could stop it.
Shen Muyun pulled the reins again. No matter what method he used, he couldn't stop Himi's pace. Himi's shaking became more and more severe. He also understood that the anesthetic was eroding Himi's sanity.
"Brother Yun! Brother Yun! I'm here!"
Chen Muyun glanced sideways and saw Lu Huainan who had caught up with him at some point. He felt a little relieved. "When did you catch up? Be careful, you're going too fast."
Himi's physical strength was almost at its limit, and the swing amplitude was getting bigger and bigger. Lu Huainan knew that he had to hurry up and seize the time.
Before Lu Huainan could answer Shen Muyun's words, he saw Himi about to fall down weakly. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and directly pulled Shen Muyun to his side with force. After exhausting his energy, Himi fell down suddenly in front, kneeling on the ground, blinking innocently.
Shen Muyun looked at Himi and felt a little sorry.
"Huainan, hurry up, where are the veterinarians at this horse farm? Where are they? It's injured and needs treatment quickly. Can it still run?"
"You're still thinking about Himi? Go check if you're injured. Brother Yun, losing the game is nothing. Why are you fighting so hard?"
Shen Muyun was slightly stunned. Why was he working so hard? Was it for the contract? It didn't seem like it was because of his competitive spirit.
He calmed himself down and looked at himself. There shouldn't be any big problem. Fortunately, Lu Huainan appeared in time and there wasn't much impact.
Many people in the audience saw this great show. Those children from wealthy families loved gossip, and now they got what they wanted.
"Hey, hey, hey, did you see that? Young Master Lu, where did he come out from? Look, the eldest young master of the Lu family is hugging the second young master of the Shen family. The action is so ambiguous. They can't be in a relationship, right? No wonder the second young master of the Shen family refused the engagement with Miss Lu. They really know how to play."
"The one who just jumped off the stands, the Lu and Shen families are aristocratic families, this shouldn't be a strange thing, right? Hurry up and put away those unnecessary gossips, this kind of relationship is not something we can know about. Aren't you afraid of being killed when the time comes? I haven't lived enough yet."
"How can it not be strange? Miss Lu had a scene before. I heard that she even went to the Shen family a few days ago to ask for an explanation or something. But the two brothers avoided her. I'm afraid there's something shady going on between them."
"Can you guys stop gossiping? As long as the person is fine, that's fine. The horse is innocent too. I felt something was amiss just now. Did someone set up a trap for Young Master Shen? The horse looked a little off in the latter half of the fight. I think it was all thanks to Young Master Lu."
Lu Huainan led the horse and gradually stopped. Shen Muyun breathed a sigh of relief and jumped off the horse first.
She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Huainan, "Thank you so much this time."
"It's nothing. I just felt something was wrong. Now it seems my sixth sense is still working. As long as I'm not hurt, it's fine."
Shen Muyun was still a little frightened. This body had a weak debuff after all. Now he felt his heart beating faster and his head was a little dizzy, but fortunately he could still hold on.
Lu Huainan waved his hand. "The doctor should be here soon, as well as the veterinarian you've been thinking about. Himi's injuries aren't serious. I'll go to the stables first and come back later."
Seeing Lu Huainan walking away, Shen Muyun finally came to his senses. Of all the people there, why was it him?
The system lost no time in appearing in front of Shen Muyun, its blue light flashing with excitement. "Ding Dong, Master Host, you are truly amazing. You can even win this! It seems you really are the most powerful host. I'm going to show off to the other systems. Look, my selection skills are top-notch."
"System, stop bragging. You're a first-rate example of not helping someone in need. If it weren't for Lu Huainan, would I have lost my arms and legs today, or would we meet in the ICU? Or would this mission end immediately, and you'd have to start looking for your next nemesis."
The system flew around Chen Muyun and looked around. "Master Host, you are wronging me. How could I stand by and watch someone die without helping? Our system has a self-rescue system, but it's still under development and not very stable. It needs to be used with caution. There is only one chance, and it can only be used in a critical moment of life and death to play its greatest role."
Shen Muyun finally understood that this system was just a bunch of nonsense and actually had nothing substantial to say.
"Dear host, the system has detected that Lu Huainan's favorability is fluctuating. Favorability is increasing by five. You are not really doing anything fishy, are you? According to the human world, this is called a hero saving a beauty. Ahem, no, this seems to describe the relationship between men and women. Forget it, there is no other word. Let's just leave it at that. Will you fall in love with him?"
This system is straightforward and does not involve any beating around the bush.
Chen Muyun's face turned green. What was going on? Logically, this was just a friendship between old friends. How could it be dragged into such nonsense?
Seeing that Chen Muyun didn't speak, the system began to talk to itself, "There are too many cases of heroes saving beauties, and most of them are beauties who pledge their love to them. This is my favorite plot. Master Host, in my opinion, you are not a person who forgets your roots. You promised the young master of the Lu family something before. So, will you..."
Shen Muyun didn't wait for the system to continue, "System, if you can speak, then say more. If not, then go to sleep, or help me check on Himi's injury. After all, it was injured in order to win. I don't have that much time to listen to your nonsense here."
"Master Host, rest assured, Himi's injuries aren't serious. The spot you pierced was just a sore spot, and there wasn't much bleeding. Your technique is superb. As for the anesthetic, it will just take a while for it to metabolize. Animals' ability to heal and save themselves far surpasses that of humans. Rest assured, Himi will recover soon."
Hearing that Himi had not suffered irreversible damage due to his actions, Shen Muyun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Muyun!"
Shen Muyun turned around and saw Shen Liuyun and Lu Huainan running towards this side, followed by a doctor. The doctor looked familiar. Although he was wearing a mask, he felt like he had seen him somewhere.
The system immediately whispered in Shen Muyun's ear, "Host, according to the original owner's physical condition, such an exciting thing happened, you should faint here, so that it fits your character setting. Character setting OOC warning, deviating from the original owner's personality warning, plot deviation warning, beep..."
"Is there no other way?"
The system shook its wings, "They have five seconds to come, five, four, three..."
Without waiting for the system countdown to end, Shen Muyun fell down beside the tree unwillingly, "hiss..."
As luck would have it, it just happened to scratch the wound on his back. He couldn't help but gasp and gritted his teeth to endure the discomfort.
Seeing Shen Muyun fainted, a group of people rushed over.
"Muyun, how do you feel?"
"Brother Yun, Brother Yun, weren't you fine just now?"
Shen Muyun listened to their words without moving, "Bingo, the host is very smart, keep pretending, the host wishes you good luck."
