Chapter 405 Incentive (2/2)
As such, when they saw Su Duan step forward to try and shame Zhou Yuan, they were naturally happy to show their support.
The thought of stepping over a disciple from a titan such as the Cangxuan Sect filled them with a strange sense of euphoria. After all, they did not have the balls to challenge the Cangxuan Sect’s Chosens, and it just so happened that this fourth layer Alpha-Origin stage Zhou Yuan was even from another continent. This undoubtedly made him an excellent target for bullying.
Zuoqiu Qingyu’s expression darkened slightly when she saw the group’s continuous attempts to instigate Zhou Yuan, and was just about to speak up to berate them when she saw Zhou Yuan lift his head and give her a look.
Their gazes had only met for an instant, but the eccentric and highly intelligent Zuoqiu Qingyu immediately understood that Zhou Yuan had some kind of a plan.
Hence, an enchanting smile quickly appeared on her pretty face as she feigned a look of interest and said, “Opening flame rocks? It sounds like it’ll be fun.”
The sight of an interested Zuoqiu Qingyu was an unexpected but pleasant surprise to Su Duan, while the other geniuses looked at him in envy. How is this guy be so lucky? To think that he haphazardly drew Zuoqiu Qingyu’s interest.
Zuoqiu Qingyu smiled and said, “But a gamble like this will be quite meaningless if there’s no incentive.”
Su Duan was stunned, before he quickly said, “Miss Qingyu is right. There should indeed be some kind of incentive, but what kind of incentive do you have in mind?”
A slight smile was revealed on Zuoqiu Qingyu’s face as she responded, “Anything you currently have on you is fine…”
Her gaze swept towards Su Duan, causing him to straighten his back slightly as he smiled warmly.
Zuoqiu Qingyu’s gaze ultimately stopped on Su Duan’s wrist as a probing look seemed to flutter in her eyes.
Su Duan immediately raised his hand, displaying the black mottled bracelet on his wrist. He hesitated a little, but quickly smiled and said, “This Genesis treasure was given to me by my father, and was crafted from a thousand year Jasper Pine. When worn, it will allow one’s body to gradually heal even if a serious injury is sustained.”
“Since miss Qingyu wants to spice things up, allow me to wager this item as a bet.” He magnanimously waved his hand, a faint smile on his face as he looked towards Zhou Yuan. “If brother Zhou Yuan wins, I will gift this bracelet to you.”
While he spoke, he secretly remarked in his heart, “Of course, that’s only if you have the ability, you country bumpkin.”
Zhou Yuan gazed at the bracelet Su Duan had put on display for everyone, before sweeping a glance at Zuoqiu Qingyu, unable to stop himself from marvelling at her inside. His gaze had only changed briefly earlier when he saw the bracelet on Su Duan’s wrist, but she had still managed to detect it.
Nothing could escape a woman’s eyes.
Moreover, her acting had been perfect. Making Su Duan offer his bracelet without suspicion had seemed effortless for her.
“I’ve already taken out my ‘incentive’, I wonder what brother Zhou Yuan has to offer us?” Su Duan suddenly asked as he grasped his bracelet.
However, without waiting for Zhou Yuan’s reply, Su Duan turned towards Zuoqiu Qingyu with a seemingly joking smile as he said, “If I manage to win by some chance, how about miss Qingyu give me the opportunity to ask you out tomorrow?”
The other geniuses immediately cried out in surprise. Su Duan had finally revealed his goal.
Zuoqiu Qingyu merely smiled. Her long and narrow eyes seemed to glisten in a watery manner, making her look even more lovely. She swept a glance at Zhou Yuan, before she nodded.
The smile on Su Duan’s face instantly brightened.
While he was distracted, Zuoqiu Qingyu shot somewhat chilling look at Zhou Yuan, her red lips cracking open slightly as a voice was transmitted into his ears.
“If you dare to lose, just wait and see how this little lady will deal with you!”
For the sake of helping this fellow, she had even sacrificed herself this time!
