Chapter 86 – Gambling (1) (2/2)
Obviously, with this tactic, everyone in the team was able to quickly improve their fighting experience. The huge amount of information they gathered, would surely help them better prepare for the upcoming larger-scale battles. Among them, Qinghan’s Mysterious Trace Steps was considered to be the weirdest training method, because he never attacked, but only practiced his footsteps and defensive abilities. In others’ opinion, he was merely seeking to be abused.
As time went by, the odds of encountering a teleported enemy became increasingly slim. The three prefectures had generally grasped the main location of the teleportation posts, thus seldom did any moron fall into the trap. Only those, who were being chased into a corner, might slip into a teleportation spot. Sadly, most of the people were cautious on their route, in case they got caught by a teleportation post, and got teleported to a place, like this Monster Slaughter Pool, where enemies were waiting to fight them.
Since no enemies emerged, the young lords had ample time to flirt with the girls of the Yue family. However, to their surprise, Qingcheng had told every girl of their history of playing with other girls, which had made them feel rather awkward. Unlike the girls on the island of the Tranquil Lake, who were treated as commodities to please the prominent figures; the girls in this super elite team were all key descendants, who boasted not only a charming appearance, but also absolute abilities. Since Hua Cao and Feng Zi couldn’t promise them to marry them as their first wife, they refused their pursuit. In the end, after the Prefecture War, they would separate; luckily, some might still get in touch and end up in a one-night stand. Although the Yue family was liberal-minded in not interfering in their descendants’ romantic life, they had made a rule that their key descendants should be married as the first wife, rather than a concubine. Therefore, Hua Cao and Feng Zi’s plan, once again, failed.
“I’m so bored…”
Hua Cao touched his handsome face, and said in a lassitude manner. Since there was no demon or barbarian for them to fight against, he hadn’t stretched his body for quite some time. As a high-fed young lord, he wasn’t used to this arduous lifestyle. Plus, he wasn’t fond of cultivation either. Since he had nothing to do right now, Hua Cao decided to rally the team members to discuss if they could end this “hunting” plan in advance.
“Boring? I’ve got a new proposal!” A black figure from the distance replied to Hua Cao.
Upon hearing this, Hua Cao jerked his head around, winking his peach-like eyes towards the black figure. The moment the figure got closer, he was surprised to find it was Qinghan.
“Qinghan? Haha, is the sun rising from the west today? It’s so rare for you to come out. You’ve been so over-scheduled with your cultivation recently!”
“Haha! For a young lord like you, who hasn’t tasted the hardships of life, you would already find yourself in a pickle when you’re forced to live in such a remote, inconvenient place.” Qinghan, with his unflappable eyes, spoke slowly like a mature man. Also, owing to these days’ intensive cultivation, his body seemed much stronger than before.
“Come on, don’t keep me guessing, and just tell me your proposal. What is it? Are you going to peep on the girls with us?” Hua Cao exhaled a mouthful of foul breath, and scratched his head.
“Fuck you!” Qinghan glanced at Hua with the corner of his eyes, “Hey buddy, I have a question for you. Your family is famous for patience, such as the assassins in your family, who can remain in squat stance in a toilet for several days, in order to successfully finish their task; but look at you, if you were asked to wait there, you’d bounce up within an hour!”
“Alas!” Since Qinghan had seen through his weakness, Hua Cao replied with a little hesitation, “I’ve lacked patience since I was a child. Indeed, I aspire to be a unique assassin, who can kill his target in broad daylight. I imagine, that one day, I’ll be that kind of assassin, and behead the target in front of thousands of enemies. Haha, isn’t that cool?”
“C… cool.” Qinghan was almost speechless, he stopped momentarily, before he continued, “I’m afraid, that you’ll be chopped into a heap of meat before you even find your target! Alright, all jokes aside, I’ll let you know my proposal now. Let’s make a bet, and if I lose, I’ll invite you to Thirteenth Street for an entire month. Deal?”
