The girl's eyes swept around calmly, and her originally indifferent expression suddenly fluctuated. Her gaze paused for a second at a certain point, and then returned to calmness.
She knew that this Colosseum belonged to Chen Ke.
She came here specially because she heard that 'Chen Ke' would appear in the Colosseum today.
Thinking that the person who pretended to be her looked exactly like Shen Xue, she couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.
When she entered the Linghuang Secret Realm into a dream, she had seen her parents from her previous life, so she knew that Shen Xue did not look like them at all.
At this time, the practitioners sitting around them were discussing Shi Gang, the protagonist of today's beast fight. When the girl heard that Shi Gang was once the fiancé of "Chen Ke", she clearly felt a chill emanating from the man next to her.
Feng Xingyao looked at her and said with a half-smile, "So, Chen Ke has two fiancés."
Chen Yan: “…I don’t know.”
At this time, the person sitting behind them came over and gossiped, "Chen Ke has more than two fiancés! I heard that Chen Ke originally had thirteen candidates for the emperor's husband, but in the end, Chen Ke chose Shen Ce, the deputy district chief of District 13, as her fiancé."
"Don't you know that Chen Ke was originally a princess of the Tianzhou Dynasty? A princess with so many potential husbands is truly eye-opening!"
The person behind him was chattering away, and Feng Xingyao's expression became increasingly grim. He didn't interrupt the person because he also wanted to know—
What kind of people are these thirteen candidates for the throne?
"Indeed, it's an eye-opener." Feng Xingyao smiled through gritted teeth.
Chen Yan's expression was complicated: "..."
Why are there so many... alternative husbands?
"The Grand Master of the Tianzhou Dynasty?" Feng Xingyao raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself that he would really find a bad love relationship for Ayan.
At the same time, not far away in the audience, a young man wearing a wooden mask sneezed violently.
The boy frowned and muttered softly, "It seems like someone is scolding me."
Suddenly, a small black loach slid in his hand, attracting the boy's attention.
The boy asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
The little loach's voice rang out in his sea of consciousness, "I seem to smell the scent of someone I know, just to your left."
Upon hearing this, the young man immediately looked up to the left, but all he saw were people wearing cloaks and masks, and he couldn't tell who was who.
He frowned, retracted his gaze, and stared at the black loach: "Which acquaintance is it? Do you remember?"
When the little loach heard this, it moved its body, as if trying hard to smell the scent.
But there were too many people here, and the smell of blood and sweat was overwhelming, making it extremely uncomfortable.
The little loach rolled its eyes and jumped off his palm, saying "Master, I'll go over and take a look", then it ran away in a flash.
The boy's face was filled with shock. He stood up hastily, "Don't!"
But the little loach was nowhere to be seen.
It has penetrated into the crowd and is wandering around everyone's feet.
The boy sat down with a worried look on his face.
At this time, the little loach was swimming happily on the ground. It avoided many people's big feet, and then relied on its sense of smell to get closer and closer to the familiar breath.
But for some reason, a sense of uneasiness welled up in its heart.
It was as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
Such emotions made its memory flash by like a revolving lantern, and every scene was clearly displayed before its eyes. In the end, its memory stopped at that special moment -
"Where did this little loach come from?"
A pleasant male voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of teasing and curiosity in the voice.
Before the little loach could react, it felt a shadow suddenly attacking it, and then its body was stepped on hard!
The little loach was almost stepped on and burst into pieces, and was in great pain.
But fortunately, the other party seemed to just want to tease it and had no intention of killing it. Despite this, the little loach still felt unbearable pain all over its body and could not help trembling.
It slowly raised its head, its gaze meeting those evil eyes. Those eyes radiated a frightening aura that sent the little loach shivering with fear. However, when it turned its gaze to the side, it saw a scene that terrified it to its core.
Is it really her?!
How could it be her?!
Aaaaahhh!!!
These screams of terror echoed in the little loach's mind, and it could not accept what it saw.
Run away, run away, run away!
The little loach ran back as if it had seen a ghost, at an astonishing speed!
Feng Xingyao looked at Chen Yan: "It seems to be very afraid of you."
"You stepped on it."
Chen Yan changed the subject, "However, its aura is somewhat familiar, as if I have encountered it somewhere before."
She looked at the direction where the little loach left, thoughtfully.
At the same time, Shen Ce was in a state of confusion, and his eyes frequently scanned the surroundings, as if he was looking for someone.
"Ace, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" the woman asked caringly.
Shen Ce's expression was subtle. The cinnabar mark on his collarbone was extremely hot at the moment, which meant that His Highness was not far away from him.
Your Highness, are you here too?
Shen Ce came back to his senses and said, "No."
The beast fight will begin soon.
An old man with a green face and fangs appeared on the arena, immediately causing a commotion.
The old man said in a resounding voice, "Everyone, welcome to our Colosseum. I believe you all know that a magical spiritual object has appeared in the dark world - black water. It can instantly increase a person's strength and will not fall back. The only drawback is: if you can't fully absorb the black water, you will die!"
"So, let's conduct an experiment in the Colosseum today to see whether humans or beasts are more powerful. The one who can maintain consciousness and reason while also killing the other will be the winner!"
The old man laughed when he said this.
"Everyone, please place your bets!"
In an instant——
Countless halos appeared in front of everyone, and the halos were divided into two halves, the left side represented the victory of humans, and the right side represented the victory of beasts.
Seeing this, everyone placed their bets.
Feng Xingyao looked at Chen Yan and asked, "Who do you bet will win?"
"No gambling." Chen Yan said.
Feng Xingyao nodded, "Then I'll bet that your former candidate for the throne will win."
Chen Yan choked slightly: "...I don't have a backup husband."
"Well, you didn't." Feng Xingyao nodded.
Chen Yan always felt that he was holding back a lot of anger, and his words were a bit sharp. If she put herself in his shoes, she would indeed feel a little uncomfortable.
These thirteen alternative imperial husbands are too many!
Chen Yan reached out and took his hand, "After the beast fight is over, I have something for you."
Feng Xingyao immediately became interested and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is it?"
"Keep it secret." Chen Yan said with a smile.
At this moment, the iron cage of the Colosseum was opened, and at the same time the barrier restriction was activated, preventing the Broken Bone Spider from hurting the people in the audience.
The mechanism of the arena was opened, and a young man walked out.
