64: Chapter 64 Gambling Battle
The two girls looked toward the sound.
They saw a young man in black attire smiling and waving at them.
"Leng Xiaoyue?"
Ying Linglong was stunned when she saw the young man, then covered her mouth and said in shock: "You... you have reached the third stage, meow!"
Hearing the cat-eared girl's words, Leng Xiaoyue unconsciously puffed out his chest.
"That goes without saying. I have been soaking in the Arena for the past few days, you know~"
Seeing the young man's smugness, Ying Linglong secretly gritted her teeth.
A month ago, he was the one being bullied by her, but now he had actually run ahead of her.
In truth, Ying Linglong herself had been stuck at the second stage for a long time, but because she was usually too playful, she hadn't paid much attention to Cultivate...
"Hmph! You just wait for me. I will go to the Arena in a few days too. If I don't achieve a Breakthrough to the third stage within three days, I'll change my surname to Ying, meow!"
"Then good luck. But you are no match for me now. The rules we set before... understand?"
Watching the cat-eared girl in front of him biting her lower lip, looking unwilling yet helpless, Leng Xiaoyue felt refreshed in body and mind.
The stage Breakthrough earned from dozens of life-and-death battles could finally avenge the grudge from three months ago!
"Let's get this straight first. I won't do anything that damages my Yao Race dignity..."
"Rest assured... My request is very simple. You touched my head three months ago, so you will return the favor today. That's not too much to ask, right? Hehehe..."
"...Fine... But you just wait for me in the future, meow..."
"Don't be stubborn. You should just do what you need to do now."
Leng Xiaoyue's smile deepened, as if he were already imagining the cat-eared girl's humiliated look under his head-patting move.
At this moment, a pleasant female voice sounded at the right time.
"Eh? Little Sister Linglong, who is this Young Master..."
Only now did Leng Xiaoyue realize that behind Ying Linglong stood a stunning woman in golden-threaded white robes.
It was just that his attention had been entirely on the cat-eared girl who had bullied him before, so he had subconsciously ignored her existence.
But looking now, this young lady was truly beautiful, and seeing the long white ears on the top of her head and the white tail behind her, it seemed she was also from their Wolf Demon Clan...
But when had the Wolf Demon Clan ever produced such a woman? As the Young Lord of the Wolf Demon Clan, he had absolutely no impression of her...
"Sister Yan, he is the Young Lord of the Wolf Demon Clan, Leng Xiaoyue..."
Halfway through her sentence, Ying Linglong hurriedly added with a blushing face: "Also... what happened just now was between us. You don't need to get involved. I want to take my own revenge, meow!"
"Young Lord of the Wolf Demon Clan?"
Xing Yaoyan's eyes lit up instantly.
She had been worrying about where to find a member of the Yao Race, and now she had just run into one?
"You... fight me."
The White Wolf Girl pointed a finger at the young man in front of her, then turned her finger into a fist, extended her thumb to point at herself, her expression filled with provocation.
"Oh?"
Leng Xiaoyue was stunned after hearing the White Wolf Girl's words, then looked at Ying Linglong with a playful gaze.
"I never thought the witch of the Cat Yao Race would have a day where someone else stands up for her..."
"Meow! That's not it! Sister Yan is just trying to complete... Mmph, mmph..."
Seeing that Ying Linglong was about to blurt out her mission inadvertently, Xing Yaoyan immediately reached out and covered her mouth.
After controlling the emotionally agitated cat-eared girl, she turned her head and provoked him again: "Stop saying all that useless stuff. In any case, I just want to fight you. You wouldn't be afraid to accept, would you..."
"Interesting... May I ask for the young lady's name?"
"Xing Yan."
Hmm... Not surnamed Leng. It seems she is not from the main Wolf Demon Clan branch; she must be from a collateral line...
Leng Xiaoyue thought to himself.
"Miss Yan, you can't even retract your ears and tail. It seems you haven't reached the third stage yet. Are you sure you want to fight me?"
Ying Linglong, with her mouth covered, could no longer hold it in and broke free from Xing Yaoyan's control.
"Meow! Leng Xiaoyue, stop pretending to be refined! You weren't this polite with me! I'm telling you, Sister Yan can easily defeat me in seconds. Don't you dare pretend, meow!"
"Is defeating you in seconds very difficult?"
"You..."
The words Ying Linglong hadn't finished saying were completely blocked by his light, casual remark.
"Stop talking about everything else. Just one question—fight or not." Xing Yaoyan continued.
"Hahaha... Interesting. You are truly very interesting..."
Leng Xiaoyue clapped his hands and laughed.
"Fine, I will fight you. But just fighting like this is boring..."
"How about this: if you win, I will treat you both to a meal at this Juxian Restaurant until you are full, and I will let the matter with Ying Linglong slide. But if you lose..."
The young man revealed a playful smile.
"I would like to invite the young lady to have a meal alone with me. How about that?"
"Fine! Leng Xiaoyue, you are a 'lecher' of your Wolf Demon Clan, trying to hit on my Sister Yan! Meow!"
After finishing, Ying Linglong turned to look at the calm Xing Yaoyan, her eyes filled with worry.
"It's fine, trust me, I will win."
As she spoke, Xing Yaoyan couldn't help but pat the cat-eared girl's head.
This sudden action caused Ying Linglong's two cat ears to tremble slightly and unconsciously.
"Okay! Then where shall we fight..."
"Young lady, you can just fight right here!" A customer sitting on the side said loudly.
Originally, the conversation between the three, Xing Yaoyan, hadn't avoided outsiders, so it was no surprise that her gambling match with Leng Xiaoyue was overheard by others.
"Fight here?"
"Miss Yan seems to be coming to the Imperial City for the first time..."
Seeing the young lady's confused look, Leng Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
He was particularly experienced in dealing with women who had no background or experience.
But before that, winning this gambling match and showing off his virility in front of her was the most important thing.
"In our Imperial City, although deathmatches are not allowed, general sparring is encouraged."
"Besides, this Juxian Restaurant is full of experts and protected by an Advanced Spirit Array, so we won't cause any damage here."
The young man said as he slowly stepped back a few paces, then stood still, one hand behind his back, and the other extended to his side.
"Young lady, I will let you take three moves first. Please!"
Looking at the young man who was ten steps away and had already set his stance, Xing Yaoyan finally understood why the front hall of Juxian Restaurant was built so large. It was actually to facilitate sparring for others...
