Chapter 130: A Gambling Battle Between Two Women!
Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou immediately revealed an expression that said, "I am shocked."
Meng Yanqing's pupils dilated in shock.
Matching clothes? That's just couple outfits!
Moreover, Lin Feiyan specifically emphasized "it was just the two of us," which is clearly a blatant attempt to sideline her!
Most importantly, Lin Feiyan said she would "accompany her on the hike to the end".
This means that the walking speed is determined by Lin Feiyan.
What kind of place is the City of Ten Thousand Beasts? It's the highest-level megacity in Yuelan Prefecture, with an incredibly vast territory. At a normal walking pace, it would probably take half a year to reach the end.
If the two of them walked from the east side of the city to the west side, from the south to the north, and even if they didn't talk about anything else, but just chatted for half a year—let alone a person, even a dog would probably have developed a deep bond by now.
Not to mention, if something else were to happen along the way, Xue Youyou's entire body would probably have already completely transformed into Lin Feiyan's shape.
This wish, seemingly simple and plain, is actually so profound, so treacherous, and so extraordinary that it is simply outrageous!
In that brief moment, the tiny bit of goodwill Meng Yanqing had painstakingly cultivated towards Lin Feiyan during the previous four hours of chatting vanished without a trace. Her affection for her childhood sweetheart plummeted back to negative 10 billion.
Now that things have come to this, we absolutely cannot let Xue Youyou agree!
It must be said that at this critical juncture, Meng Yanqing's mind became exceptionally sharp, living up to her reputation as a peerless genius of Lanzhi Academy.
Even before Xue Youyou herself had fully grasped the situation and was still in a state of confusion, she had already completely seen through Lin Feiyan's cunning scheme.
Meng Yanqing immediately shouted, "I've made up my mind too!"
Xue Youyou and Lin Feiyan both turned to look at Meng Yanqing, waiting for her to continue.
"My wish is—that Youyou will not grant Feiyan's wish!" Meng Yanqing shouted.
That's right, she's going to confront Lin Feiyan head-on and explode at each other.
These words immediately drew strong dissatisfaction from Lin Feiyan, who complained to Xue Youyou, "Lady Youyou, Yan Qing has gone too far! How can she do this! Everyone can make a wish, which should be a happy occasion, but she's being unreasonable!"
However, in response to Lin Feiyan's protest, Xue Youyou remained calm and murmured softly, "Hmm..."
In fact, Xue Youyou was extremely reluctant to complete the journey through the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
There's no other reason, it's just that it's really too torturous.
For Xue Youyou, the thought of not being able to immerse herself in pet battles day and night for a long time in the future sent chills down her spine.
Unfortunately, she had already made that boastful promise, and Lin Feiyan's wish clearly didn't violate any principles, so she couldn't openly refuse. If she did, wouldn't she become a person who breaks their word?
The only way to refuse such a request is to do so politely, in a way that is acceptable and leaves the other person with a sense of respect.
Of course, such a simple and crude approach as Meng Yanqing's is definitely not acceptable.
My wish is to invalidate your wish—this kind of talk is as childish as a child shouting "rebound" when arguing with someone.
Even if Xue Youyou wanted to side with Meng Yanqing, she couldn't openly support her. She could only gently remind her, "You can't say that. As an excellent beast tamer..."
At this point, Xue Youyou hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
If she were to point it out too obviously, it would seem like she was being too biased.
Come on, you unparalleled genius of Lanzhi Academy!
Xue Youyou cried out in her heart and desperately tried to wink at Meng Yanqing.
Perhaps a small part of her feelings did successfully reach Meng Yanqing.
Or perhaps a fool's thousand ponders and deep thoughts are no match for a genius's sudden flash of inspiration.
Meng Yanqing's mind suddenly lit up. She turned to Lin Feiyan and said seriously, "The day after tomorrow, in the match between Lanzhi Academy and Fentian Academy, everyone else will refrain from participating. It will be a one-on-one duel between the two of us. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
"If I win, you must give up your wish. If I lose, I'll give you my chance to make a wish as well. How about it?"
She believed she had understood Xue Youyou's implication—since she was a beast tamer, she should solve problems in the way a beast tamer would!
Moreover, Meng Yanqing proposed an unequal wager: if she won, she would only ask Lin Feiyan to give up her chance to make a wish. If she lost, not only would she lose her own chance to make a wish, but she would also have to give up her entire opportunity.
Lin Feiyan was taken aback at first, then laughed: "Then it seems I have absolutely no reason to refuse!"
Refusing such a fair and square challenge is absolutely unacceptable to any proud Beastmaster.
Rather than saying that being kicked to death by Xue Youyou in an official match, being able to defeat Meng Yanqing in a one-on-one battle was at least a highlight performance before the crushing defeat.
Meng Yanqing's suggestion was exactly what she wanted; she couldn't have asked for more.
Immediately, Lin Feiyan turned to Xue Youyou and asked, "Is it alright, Lady Youyou?"
After all, Xue Youyou had said before that the wish was only valid tonight.
Xue Youyou shook her head: "I will not stop the noble duel between the two beast tamers."
After receiving Xue Youyou's promise, Lin Feiyan smiled sweetly, then turned to Meng Yanqing and said triumphantly, "You better be prepared, you overconfident fool. You'll have plenty of time to cry after you lose. At that time, I'll make good use of the precious opportunity you gave me."
After saying this, without waiting for Meng Yanqing's reply, Lin Feiyan politely said goodbye to Xue Youyou, humming a tune as she left with light steps.
After Lin Feiyan's figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor, Xue Youyou finally couldn't help but ask, "Can you win?"
What kind of pig brain could come up with such a method?
After all that bizarre maneuvering, all they did was drag out their death from midnight to dawn, and they'd die even more horribly.
Meng Yanqing's eyes widened suddenly, and she belatedly realized that she really couldn't beat Lin Feiyan.
Not only can they not beat them, the gap between them seems to be more than just a little bit.
Having figured this out, Meng Yanqing knelt down with a thud, grabbed Xue Youyou's white-stockinged thighs, and cried out with teary eyes, "Youyou—waaaaaah—waaaaah—, is there any way to quickly become stronger? Quickly...quickly teach me a few tricks!"
