"Of course." Yue Jiao looked at the woman, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes, but his face remained calm and composed.
"Alright." Man Jiao'er moved to stand in front of Yue Jiao. "I hope you can keep your word this time."
Only then did I see clearly that Man Jiao'er was pale and visibly haggard, with no light in her eyes, just a deathly gray.
Yuejiao looked away, unable to bear watching any longer, and said softly, "I promise you."
Man Jiao'er laughed softly, her laughter tinged with a desolate despair, but something seemed wrong with her left hand.
"Yue Jiao, go to hell!"
Suddenly, Man Jiao'er's left hand produced a dagger that seemed to appear out of nowhere and plunged it into Yue Jiao's chest. Although Yue Jiao was caught off guard, he reacted quickly, slightly turning his body and using his right hand to disarm Man Jiao'er.
"Let me go! If I can't kill you today, I'll only have death to settle things. Let me go!"
A real-life melodramatic plot unfolded before my eyes. I was a little stunned. I turned my head and saw that Feng Sujinyu and the others were watching with great interest.
The plot is exciting, but I still have business to attend to. Yue Jiao is my next target, and I definitely need to defeat him. This situation makes it easy for me to defeat him openly and honestly, one-on-one, without worrying about his subordinates. If I miss this opportunity, it won't be easy to find another one.
"Luo." I called Luo in a low voice, so that Feng Su and the others wouldn't hear and would definitely make a fuss about coming with me.
"My lord, what is it?"
"I'll sneak out for a bit, and if Feng Su and the others ask, I'll just say I need to pee."
"good."
Luo Zhen is always so sparing with words. Even when facing me, she barely says a few words. You can imagine how frustrated the celestial maidens in the celestial palace must be.
I bypassed Luo and changed my clothes in a secluded corner where no one would notice, transforming myself into a dashing young gentleman.
That's right, I plan to defeat Yuejiao as a challenger, and take some of her blood along the way. It's a win-win situation – helping others and completing the mission at the same time.
Chaos reigned on the arena, and Man Jiao'er continued to cry and scream, completely devoid of the amazement she had shown when they first met.
"I'll take the challenge!" After saying that, I closed my eyes, ready to enjoy the adoration of the little demons below the stage and the astonishment of Man Shi Yue Jiao. However, after waiting for a long time, I found that the scene seemed to be exactly the same as before.
I quickly opened my eyes and saw that, well, no one had heard me.
Hmph, nobody even noticed me. Watch how I make my grand entrance in the most stunning way. Even though Feng Su isn't here, creating some effect with magic is still a piece of cake.
I cast a spell to send petals raining down across the entire venue, filling the air with their fragrance. Just as I was about to make a stunning entrance, like a beauty amidst the flowers...
"What's this?"
"It smells so good!"
"Could it be poison? A hidden weapon?"
"What?! Run!"
The crowd at the venue wasn't amazed as I'd imagined; instead, they were terrified and scattered in all directions. The chaotic crowd pushed me even further away from the ring, and my carefully changed outfit was completely mangled.
What? Why is this happening? This isn't what I expected!
How could I forget? This is the abyss. There are no flowers in the abyss...
Fine, I had no choice but to gather my strength and break free from the crowd, leaping up and finally arriving at the arena after much difficulty.
As soon as I stepped onto the stage, I was locked onto by a probing and wary gaze. I looked up to investigate and, sure enough, Yue Jiao was staring at me intently.
"Lord City Lord, isn't this competition still going? I'm here to challenge you!" I straightened my clothes, which had just been disheveled, and spoke casually.
"You? You want to challenge me? Interesting." Yue Jiao just looked at me and smiled, her inquisitive gaze never leaving me.
Why is this guy listening to me the whole time? Did he figure out I'm a woman? No way.
My attire and appearance make me look every bit the dashing young nobleman.
I cleared my throat and said loudly, "Since Lord Yue has agreed, Lord Man and Miss Man, shouldn't you go down first? The outcome is still uncertain, the battle is over, and it's unknown who will be the new son-in-law of Ling City. Miss Man, please don't try to kill yourself."
