Teasing!
Teasing!
Hua!
Before she could finish her sentence, Tuan Zi had directly flown out!
Xue Xue suddenly jumped!
The two short fiends attacked each other and became a ball!
- You want to snatch my Master? Dream on!
- You've obtained all the good things, yet you still don't allow me to dream?! I just want to!
- Pfft! You're shameless! Your proper owner is still sitting above!
- Talk after you win!
One was snow white, and the other was bright red. The two figures were entangled with each other, and it was hard to separate them.
Chu Liuyue curled her fingers and awkwardly retracted her hand. Um… It looks like I don't need to attack?
She looked upward.
Someone—who was openly despised—looked normal, and his lips even curled up into a faint smile. However, he had some cold intent when he glanced at Xue Xue from time to time.
Chu Liuyue pitied Xue Xue in her heart for a moment before choosing to watch the show. Anyway, this isn't the first time they've fought. They'll be on good terms after they do.
…
Compared to Chu Liuyue's relaxed and calm behavior, the other spectators had their eyes wide open and mouths agape as they watched the scene in front of them in disbelief. Dugu Yue's legendary fiend can actually fight with His Grace's legendary fiend?
"That's a red-tailed phoenix! Rumor has it that its bloodline power is close to that of an ancient red-gold heavenly phoenix!" someone suddenly yelled in shock.
According to its cultivation level and capabilities, it was normal for it to have such combat power. However, this explanation didn't convince the crowd and even made them more shocked and confused.
"Red-tailed phoenix? Such a legendary fiend is extremely precious. Even the divisions might not have it. This Dugu Yue… is too lucky."
"It's not just luck! Red-tailed phoenixes have a distinguished status, and they're hard to tame. Without a certain ability, one definitely won't be able to make it willingly follow them! I think this Dugu Yue is actually quite capable…"
"There will always be better people! Even though she was born ordinary, her capabilities are out of this world!"
…
All kinds of discussions could be heard, and they continuously landed in Jiang Zhiyuan's ears.
She clenched her teeth tightly, and green veins appeared on the back of her hand. Red-tailed phoenix… Red-tailed phoenix! That is indeed a higher existence than my own fiend! If I didn't see it personally, I never would've believed that such a normal woman with an unknown background actually had a legendary fiend of such a level! All this while, I thought that my own double-winged black leopard was great. After all, it's extremely rare to find someone like Rong Xiu with such outstanding talent, and a fiend like Xue Xue is also extremely difficult to find.
But this Dugu Yue… The most infuriating thing is that she's lazily sitting aside whilst the legendary fiends are fighting! It's as if she doesn't even care about this matter.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhiyuan was dazed, and a guess surfaced in her mind. This Dugu Yue seems so confident. Is she sure that she'll win? She knows Rong Xiu and 36 Respected Elder Ming as well. Furthermore, the two of them treated her differently than they did others… After all, Xue Xue is also Rong Xiu's legendary fiend. If he had intentions… Can't he decide Xue Xue's win or loss with just a word?!
…
Shoo!
With a sharp shriek from Tuan Zi, the two intertwined figures finally separated.
Xue Xue's fur was messy, and there vaguely seemed to be a few bloodstains on its body—especially its nose, which was bitten by Tuan Zi's sharp beak. It was bleeding.
The white lion looked miserable.
Tuan Zi wasn't any better. A lot of feathers had fallen off, and its tail was even bald.
The two of them stared at each other closely and breathed heavily, clearly still indignant.
Anyone could tell that the two parties had tied in this match, and both had losses and wins. However, this result was already very stunning! Nobody else in the entire Sky-Cloud Empire could tie with His Grace's legendary fiend!
Seeing that the two fiends were about to continue, Chu Liuyue finally spoke. "Tuan Zi, come back."
With that, Tuan Zi retracted its wings and returned to its small size as it landed on Chu Liuyue's shoulders. Then, it looked up and coldly glanced at Xue Xue.
Why are you so angry? This master belongs to whoever I belong to! Xue Xue snorted indignantly.
Tuan Zi sneered and nestled on Chu Liuyue's shoulders as it intimately rubbed against the latter's cheeks, giving Xue Xue a look of contempt. Tsk, I'll anger you to death.
Xue Xue was enraged and couldn't help but look at Chu Liuyue pitifully.
"Ahem." Chu Liuyue coughed. "Are you… going to continue fighting?"
Hmph!
Xue Xue turned around gloomily.
Depressed!
It sadly returned to Rong Xiu and weakly lay down.
The crowd was speechless. This is… It admitted defeat?!
…
Rong Xiu glanced at it. It didn't seem to have purposely let the other party win just now? This means that Tuan Zi's abilities have improved greatly. It has reached a stage where it can compare with Xue Xue.
As if being seen through, Xue Xue swiftly buried its head. I'm not listening! Not listening!
Rong Xiu raised his brows slightly and retracted his gaze. "It seems like it's still Ms. Dugu who has won—"
"Hold on!" Before Rong Xiu could finish his sentence, someone abruptly interrupted him.
The person talking was Jiang Zhiyuan, who left miserably. She stood up. "Your Highness, there's something I don't understand."
Rong Xiu looked calm. "Big Missy Jiang, please say it."
Jiang Zhiyuan kept quiet for a moment and pointed straight at Chu Liuyue. "I want to know if Xue Xue purposely let her win in the previous match?!"
The crowd went crazy. Jiang Zhiyuan is too daring! How dare she directly ask that?!
Rong Xiu seemed to laugh. "Big Missy Jiang, are you doubting me?"
Xue Xue was his legendary fiend. Suspecting Xue Xue was naturally suspecting him!
Jiang Zhiyuan pressed her lips against each other tightly. "I wouldn't dare! I just want to ask Your Highness if I can have a chance. If Ms. Dugu can beat me, I'll be convinced!"
Then, she gazed at Chu Liuyue and questioned calmly, "I wonder if Ms. Dugu dares to accept it?!"
The surroundings were silent.
Countless pairs of eyes looked toward Chu Liuyue.
In actual fact, it wasn't only Jiang Zhiyuan who had such doubts. The others also had the same doubts.
In this suffocating atmosphere, Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly and smiled brightly. There seemed to be stars sparkling in her eyes.
She nodded in relaxation. "Sure."
