Chapter 330: Chapter 330: How about going big_1
“That’s right.” Zhou Yin actually didn’t deny it at all.
The two paused for a moment, each starting to circle the other.
The Bull Demon wanted to cool down and regain some strength, whereas Zhou Xian didn’t want to act rashly, preferring to avoid a head-on confrontation.
“Why are you stopping?”
“Hurry up and fight.”
“Damn, I’m not here to watch you guys spin in circles.”
“What’s the deal, if you don’t start fighting I’m going to complain.”
The audience was not pleased and began to shout out loudly in protest.
“Uncle Lu, sorry about that. Looking at the situation, the Bull Demon is very likely to win.” Yue Qingjiang laughed heartily.
“How can you tell?” Actually, Lu Chenbing also felt that Zhou Xian was problematic in strength; he couldn’t even take a direct punch and was far behind the Bull Demon in comparison.
“Zhou Xian’s strength is clearly inferior, only his footwork is a bit more agile. But I’ve watched the Bull Demon’s matches; he doesn’t just win by brute force – he’s good at both offense and defense. Just now, he underestimated his opponent. Now that he has calmed down, he will quickly spot Zhou Xian’s weaknesses, and then victory will easily be within reach,” Yue Qingjiang explained confidently.
“Alas, it looks like I should’ve bet on the Bull Demon to win,” Lu Chenbing sighed regretfully but didn’t take it to heart and just chuckled, “Xiao Jiang, you’re a regular here and certainly know more about this than I do.”
“Hehe, you’re right, Uncle Lu. I do have some insights in this area, and if Uncle Lu wants to make a small fortune here, you know who to come to,” Yue Qingjiang said proudly, sneaking a glance at Xu Fan as he spoke.
However, much to his chagrin, Xu Fan not only didn’t agree but also looked somewhat unconvinced.
“Hey, what’s that look for? Don’t you think so?” Yue Qingxuan always trusted her brother, so when she saw Xu Fan curl his lip, she immediately questioned him dissatisfied.
“Xiao Xuan, don’t be rude. Besides, your brother isn’t all-knowing; sometimes he makes mistakes, and it’s no big deal not to receive someone else’s agreement,” Yue Qingjiang pretended to chide her.
Xu Fan couldn’t help but touch his nose, feeling that even wanting to watch a fight in peace could lead to trouble. Shaking his head, he said, “Yes, I indeed have some disagreements with your brother’s perspective.”
“Brother, I wasn’t wrong, was I?” Yue Qingxuan quickly glanced at Xu Fan and said with a bright smile, “Mr. Xu, since you are Uncle Lu’s friend, you must be a person of status. How about taking a gamble with me?”
“What do you want to bet on?” Xu Fan asked with some surprise.
This girl was indeed beautiful, and she seemed gentle and obedient, but his own embarrassment mounted as she appeared to have quite a bold personality.
After all, being an Immortal Emperor and betting with a mortal girl – if word of this got out to other Immortal Emperors, they might laugh at him.
Fortunately, this was not the Immortal Realm.
At this point, the fight on stage had continued, and just by chance, Zhou Xian misstepped and was sent flying into the iron net by a punch from the Bull Demon.
“Brother, it seems he’s determined to disagree with you, and I really can’t stand to watch this,” Yue Qingxuan said urgently, as if asking for permission.
Then, she turned to Lu Chenbing with a sweet, obedient smile, “Uncle Lu, you don’t mind if I take a gamble with your friend, do you?”
Lu Chenbing couldn’t help but smile wryly and said, “Of course, I don’t mind. In fact, I’d like to see if Elder Xu’s discernment is as sharp as ever. Elder Xu, I’m counting on you this time.”
Xu Fan nodded, and since Yue Qingxuan was so keen on losing to him, there was no point in declining any further, so he agreed, “Miss Yue, how do you want to bet?”
At this moment, the situation on the field completely favored the Bull Demon. With his aura fully unleashed, he controlled the battle in the ring, cornering Zhou Yin for a final desperate struggle.
Seeing this, Yue Qingxuan completely let her guard down, revealing a sweet smile, “Why not…it bigger?”
Yue Qingxuan was still concerned about Xu Fan being immune to her beauty, feeling as if it was a blow to her confidence.
Moreover, Lu Chenbing affectionately calling Xu Fan “Elder Xu” only fueled her competitiveness, thinking to use this opportunity to test Xu Fan’s mettle.
Upon her remark, Yue Qingjiang remained calm, while Lu Chenbing waited with bated breath.
“All right then,” Xu Fan said, tilting his head to think, “However, I’m not very interested in money… hmm… your looks are quite alright…”
“You rogue, don’t even think about it!” Yue Qingxuan cut him off before he could finish, her phoenix eyes widening in indignant fury.
Even Yue Qingjiang couldn’t help frowning, feeling somewhat repulsed.
“Miss Yue, where is your mind wandering off to?” Xu Fan protested, feeling wronged, “I meant if I win, then you have to sign a three-year contract as an artist with Xinghai Media Company. You should be able to accept that, right?”
These past few days, a lot had happened at Xinghai Media, and although Xu Yixue had resolved them all, the fact that all the artists had left still needed addressing. Relying solely on the comeback of Chen Shiyu was not enough, and the company’s funds were not very strong; they couldn’t sign any quality artists in the short term.
But Yue Qingxuan was different. She was extremely beautiful, with a great frame; she had the potential to become a top artist. Given time, surpassing Chen Shiyu was not out of the question.
What’s more, the Yue Family was a prominent family in Zhonghai City. As a rich heiress, Yue Qingxuan already had a powerful network and substantial funds, meaning the company wouldn’t need to invest a lot of effort to develop her.
Once he said this, even Xu Fan felt proud of his cleverness. If this succeeded, Xu Yixue would undoubtedly be thankful, allowing him to spend more time with Tongtong.
So that was his plan!
Deflated, Yue Qingxuan found herself without words to say.
“Becoming an artist isn’t out of the question,” she said.
In her heart, Yue Qingxuan had fantasized about standing on a stage under the spotlight, so although the bet was big, it was neither here nor there for her.
“Well, if I win, you have to be my bodyguard, also for three years. How about that?”
As soon as she said it, even Yue Qingxuan felt she was clever, finding the prospect to be incredibly intriguing.
For someone treated with such respect by Lu Chenbing to become her bodyguard would surely cause a sensation if word got out. The prestige of the Yue Family would likely be elevated even further.
“No problem,” Xu Fan said confidently, unable to resist praising himself, “Not to brag, but if I were a bodyguard, I’d definitely be the world’s most formidable one.”
“Hmph, who knows?” retorted Yue Qingxuan, unconvinced.
However, Lu Chenbing offered a faint smile and hinted, “Xiao Xuan, you shouldn’t underestimate Elder Xu. Uncle Lu can testify that Elder Xu is not boasting. If you really win, it might even be a stroke of great fortune for your Yue Family.”
Hearing this, the sibling duo exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and excitement in each other’s eyes.
If even Uncle Lu dared offer such a testimony, the matter must be genuine.
And they were about to win.
“Uncle Lu, you’re our witness. If someone backs out later, you’ll have to stand up for us,” Yue Qingxuan said joyously, quickly clinging to Lu Chenbing’s arm and acting coy.
