After Liu Xiaoyuan finished singing "Heroes," the private room fell into a deathly silence. To use a phrase my elementary school Chinese teacher taught me, you could hear a pin drop.
Seeing everyone staring in disbelief, stunned by his singing, Liu Xiaoyuan felt a sense of satisfaction.
At that moment, the system's voice rang in Liu Xiaoyuan's mind: "Ding dong, congratulations to player Liu Xiaoyuan for successfully showing off, gaining 800 experience points!"
Haha... This god-level invincible system is great! Not only did it slap the other party in the face, but it also gave me experience points. Damn, if this system were a beautiful woman, Liu Xiaoyuan would want to give himself to her.
"Everyone, I've finished singing. Can we give each other a round of applause? Did I sing badly?" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, one of the female judges started clapping, and then the other judges followed suit.
Hiding in the corner, Wang Xinyu was as excited as someone who had been thirsty for decades and suddenly saw a girl throwing herself into his arms. His excitement was indescribable.
"Brother Liu, you're the best! Brother Liu, I support you..." Wang Xinyu clapped excitedly and shouted loudly.
Immediately, thunderous applause erupted in the private room, breaking the deathly silence that had just been there.
"Thank you for the applause, everyone!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a big smile.
"Hey, Young Master Ye, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Xiaoyuan walked up to Ye Zifan and suddenly patted Ye Zifan's shoulder, startling him.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Zifan suddenly turned his head, his eyes practically spitting fire.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a grin, "Young Master Ye, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I called you to tell you that the judges are about to announce the results of the competition."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zifan lost all interest in the result of the match, because the outcome was already a foregone conclusion—he had lost!
At this moment, Ye Zifan was thinking about what he should do next. Should he really kneel down and slap himself twice?
Ye Zifan felt that he could never do such a humiliating thing, even if he were beaten to death.
"Distinguished judges, may you now announce the results?" Liu Xiaoyuan said, looking at the ten judges.
All ten judges nodded in unison and said, "That's good!"
"After our unanimous discussion, we believe that the winner of this competition is the next contestant!" A bespectacled man in his thirties announced the result on behalf of the ten participants.
This result was already expected by everyone, so when the bespectacled man announced the result, no one present was surprised, as if he were announcing something insignificant.
Liu Xiaoyuan patted Ye Zifan on the shoulder and said, "Young Master Ye, a bet is a bet!"
"Oh, by the way, Miss Tang Yiting, you have to keep your word!" Liu Xiaoyuan said to Tang Yiting with a grin.
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan continued, "Oh my! I'm really moved by Miss Tang Yiting's life-and-death bond. Young Master Ye, why don't you two go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get your marriage certificate tomorrow after you've fulfilled your bet? What do you think?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Tang Yiting really wanted to nod and say yes immediately!
Ye Zifan glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, his eyes flashing with a chilling light, and said, "Know when to quit while you're ahead, or no one can save you!"
Faced with Ye Zifan's threat, Liu Xiaoyuan laughed and said, "Ye Zifan, I'm a coward, don't scare me."
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's smiling face, without a trace of fear, Ye Zifan knew that Liu Xiaoyuan was just teasing him.
"Hmph!" Ye Zifan snorted coldly and said, "Whether I scared you or not, you can try it and see. But if you regret it, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Liu Xiaoyuan chuckled and said, "Ye Zifan, there's no one in this world I, Liu Xiaoyuan, am afraid of. Bring on whatever tricks you have, I'll take them!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Xiaoyuan took the microphone and addressed the ten judges: "Ten judges, this Ye Zifan, also known as Young Master Ye, is from the Ye family in Beijing. He initially agreed that if he lost the competition, he would kneel on the ground and slap himself twice. He even proposed this bet himself. But now he's denying it. Tell me, how can someone whose words are as worthless as farts still have the face to live in this world?"
Most of the ten judges were locals from Beijing. After learning that Ye Zifan was from the Ye family in Beijing, they looked at him with fear.
If they had known beforehand that Ye Zifan was from the Ye family in Beijing, they probably would have ruled in his favor even if it meant death, because the Ye family in Beijing was not someone they could afford to offend.
So, they are now filled with deep regret.
"Excuse me, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the restroom!" One of the judges stood up, clutched his stomach, and ran out.
These luxurious private rooms all have their own bathrooms, so there's no need to go outside to use the toilet.
Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't stupid; he knew they were scared and didn't want to get involved, so they took this opportunity to slip away.
Liu Xiaoyuan hadn't originally intended for these people to say anything fair or stand up indignantly to lecture Ye Zifan. His purpose in saying this was simply to let them know about the incident, and then spread it around to disgust Ye Zifan.
"Oh dear! My stomach suddenly started hurting too. Excuse me, I'm going out for a bit!" The other person immediately stood up and ran out!
"Hello, who is it? Oh! Something happened at home, I'll be right back, just a minute, I'll be back!"
"Hey, honey, what did you say? Old Wang from next door came looking for me. Okay, I'll be right back. Tell Old Wang to wait for me, I'll be right back!"
Soon, the ten judges made various excuses and slipped away!
After the ten judges left, Ye Zifan glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan and snorted coldly, then called out to Ye Ziqi, "Ye Ziqi, let's go!"
Holy crap! Don't you have any shame? You think you can just walk away like that? What do you take me for?
Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't about to let Ye Zifan off so easily. He immediately blocked Ye Zifan's path and said with a grin, "Ye Zifan, are you just going to leave like this?"
Ye Zifan glared at Liu Xiaoyuan and said coldly, "Don't push your luck!"
Since Ye Zifan was in the wrong in this matter, he couldn't be arrogant and wanted to leave without teaching Liu Xiaoyuan a lesson.
But seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's ungrateful attitude, Ye Zifan's face turned ashen with anger.
At this moment, Ye Ziqi and Wang Xinyu, who had been hiding in the corner, immediately came over.
Wang Xinyu pulled Liu Xiaoyuan aside and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, let's just forget about it. It's just a competition, let it go!"
As Wang Xinyu spoke, he winked at Liu Xiaoyuan, his meaning clear: Liu Xiaoyuan shouldn't worry about the bet, because he was no match for Ye Zifan. If he kept dwelling on the bet, he would only suffer the consequences.
