Chapter 267 Give Me a Kiss
Jun Xinyue wasn't wearing her usual bright red outfit today; instead, she wore a blue shirt and jeans, a clean and neat look that wouldn't attract too much attention.
"Investigating something." Jun Xinyue winked at her and sat down next to her.
What matter requires Your Highness to investigate personally?
However, Sang Qing didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and watched the competition from below the stage together.
It was bloody and violent, but the more bloody and violent it was, the more excited the people on stage became, screaming.
Some people appreciate a battle between evenly matched opponents, while others simply enjoy the thrill of blood and gore.
Claire's brother was a battle-hardened mercenary, and his opponent was no less formidable, with a burly build, a sinister and ruthless gaze, and a large scar on his face, looking like a desperate outlaw.
Perhaps if he could defeat Claire's brother, he could somehow gain a new life and freedom.
As Zhou Zhao exclaimed in surprise, the humanoid beast doubled in size, wisps of black energy emanating from its body, and its attacks became increasingly ferocious.
On the ring, it's not uncommon for people to be driven to mental rage and alienation.
This is also one of the highlights of the Colosseum.
Regardless of life or death, we'll gamble with our lives.
Unfortunately, he was ultimately outmatched. With a loud bang, the man was thrown off the stage and could not stand up again. Dirty bloodstains covered most of the arena.
Claire's brother didn't kill him outright, but the more vicious the attack, the greater the backlash; that person is probably crippled now.
"My brother seems to be injured!" Claire stood up from her seat and was about to run downstairs with a worried look on her face.
Sang Qing also saw that when Claire transformed into human form, he seemed to stagger, looked down at the floor for a long time, and then stepped off the stage.
Sang Qing glanced at Jun Xinyue, who was all alone, and instructed Youfei, "Youfei, you stay with Xinyue, I'll go check on her."
After saying that, he followed Claire backstage.
"Sigh!" Youfei stood up, but before he could say anything, Sang Qing had already run far away.
The boss ordered him to monitor that leopard, but he couldn't disobey his sister-in-law's orders.
He had no choice but to sit down again.
Forget it, my sister-in-law is so capable, he wouldn't be able to help even if he went with her.
There's also that older brother, so it's not like I'm alone.
Feeling the intense gaze fixed on him, Youfei turned his head blankly. "Your Highness... Miss, did you come out without any guards?"
"I brought it, but I shook it off," Jun Xinyue said matter-of-factly, moving a little closer to Youfei.
Youfei: "..."
Just as Youfei was about to keep his distance, he saw Jun Xinyue raise her index finger and whisper a "shh".
Youfei immediately tensed up and warily followed Jun Xinyue's gaze. He saw several orcs dressed in black in the corridor not far away. Judging from the uniformity of their clothing, they were not ordinary people who came to the black market.
Their eyes scanned the crowd of spectators before finally settling on them.
"Give me a kiss, but don't let them see me."
"?" Youfei was completely dumbfounded.
Jun Xinyue had already moved closer, and the pleasant scent of her high-end perfume instantly filled the air.
Before Yufei could think straight, he did as he was told and gave him a kiss.
After the kiss, she turned around and saw, "They're coming this way."
"Oh, it seems it's no use." Jun Xinyue said regretfully, giving him a half-smile, then tossed her sexy wavy hair and stood up to walk towards the group.
Youfei paused for a moment, then raised his hand to touch his lips.
It took her a while to realize what was happening, and her face immediately turned red.
A slight upturn of the corners of her lips unconsciously appeared.
He quickly got up and followed.
...
Backstage.
"Brother, are you alright?"
When Claire and Sang Qing arrived, the tall young man seemed to be doing nothing again.
"What could possibly happen to me? Just a minor scratch." The tall orc casually tossed his protective suit onto the chair, revealing his well-developed biceps, and grabbed his white vest, which was already half-soaked with sweat, to wipe it away.
Claire looked her brother up and down and saw that there was indeed only blood and no real wounds, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the person was about to lift his clothes, he rushed over and grabbed him, saying, "Brother, don't offend the healer's eyes."
The orc slapped the palm away without hesitation, only then noticing Sang Qing behind him.
Claire grinned, showing off eight teeth, and introduced herself with great pride.
"Brother, this is the noble and beautiful healer I told you about."
Then he turned to Sang Qing, "This is my brother, Kelu."
Sang Qing felt a little embarrassed by Claire's words, but Kluth, who was just as straightforward as Claire, raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "I've heard so much about you."
Kru was taller than a normal orc, especially after taking off his coat, his muscles looked very powerful, and there were still some sweat stains on them after the battle.
Unlike Claire's delicate and handsome features, his features were upright and somewhat dignified, giving the first impression of a mercenary leader who relied on strength and had the final say.
I didn't expect him to be so kind and gentle when he spoke.
Sang Qing saw him extend his hand and guessed that he might have subconsciously wanted to shake hands, but then withdrew it because of the sweat and blood on his hands.
Sang Qing couldn't quite manage a formal "Nice to meet you," so she simply replied, "Hello."
Klu smiled and nodded, looking very cheerful, then asked, "Where's your Shiying? Why didn't she come along?"
Sang Qing didn't expect him to ask about Shi Ying as soon as he arrived.
Judging from his tone, he seems to be quite familiar with Shi Ying.
“He’s at the military headquarters,” Sang Qing replied with a gentle smile.
"Brother, you don't know, Shi Ying is now a major general, commanding an entire division. He's so impressive!" Claire added in an exaggerated tone.
"Major General?" Kluth was slightly surprised, his eyes filled with genuine admiration. "So capable, we are far behind."
Claire immediately recounted their heroic deeds to Cree, her expressions so vivid they could have been a storyteller.
Klu brought a stool for Sang Qing and said with a smile, "Healer, the conditions are limited, please don't mind."
"How could that be?"
This should be one of Klu's usual rest areas; it's not very big, with only two benches in total.
Claire finally finished speaking, and was then ordered by Crew to go out and buy a fruit platter.
Klu deliberately sat a little distance away from Sang Qing, wiping the sweat and blood off his body with a towel, and sighed as he did so, "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've had a match with Shi Ying on stage."
Sang Qing caught a detail in Kelu's words and asked in confusion, "Shiying is here too?"
Klu nodded. "Yes, I used to come, but I haven't come since I returned to the army."
Kru recounted his past experiences fighting against Shi Ying in the arena, saying, "Shi Ying used to be a regular at the Beast Arena, often challenging star beasts and vicious villains that even beastmen wouldn't dare to challenge. He was practically a killing god, and at his peak, a single win was worth 100,000 star coins."
"Moreover, he wasn't in good condition at the time and couldn't unleash his full SS-level strength, so I could barely manage a draw with him. I probably can't do that now."
Klu glanced at Sang Qing, then draped the towel over his clothes, looking quite impressed.
His peak strength was right there, he was just short of reaching the SS-level threshold, but the other person was a genuine SS-level, and his mental state was excellent.
