At this moment Alice said with a half-smile, "You want me to go back with you that much?"
Number Three frowned slightly, clearly feeling that something was off about Alice's words.
"We, the people of Great Xia, are different from you. Once we establish a relationship, we will take full responsibility and never take advantage of you."
The deep voice of Number Three.
He's serious about this.
Alice stared blankly at the serious-looking Number Three in front of her, then chuckled softly, her azure eyes seeming even gentler than before.
She gently pinched Number Three's cheek. "I will apply to the higher-ups."
Upon hearing this, Number Three nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it."
Alice covered her mouth and chuckled softly; she seemed to genuinely like the man in front of her.
At first, it was just because Number Three unlocked the chains that no one had been able to open for a year. Later, he witnessed his arrogance on the street and was eventually conquered in bed.
And so, Alice just wanted to do it with him one more time.
But the man in front of her didn't seem to treat this as a game or a fleeting pleasure.
Alice sat next to Number Three, quietly keeping him company as he watched the game.
This suddenly made her feel as if she were simply watching a game with her boyfriend.
The different feeling made her linger, and she seemed to have forgotten that she came today to make another date, since she didn't know if she would have another chance.
Time passed slowly, Alice watched the man beside her make all sorts of funny faces, which would occasionally make her laugh.
They really do seem like a couple deeply in love.
At this moment, Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun whispered to each other in the back.
Jiang Junyi: " Qingyun, have you noticed that Alice's expression when she looks at Number Three keeps changing?"
Wan Qingyun: "Yes, I saw it. At first, I saw nothing, but later I gradually felt the 'love'."
Jiang Junyi: "I reckon there's some big gossip going on here."
Wan Qingyun: "Yes! I felt it too!"
Wan Qingyun: "It will probably be a bit difficult for Number Three to take them away."
Jiang Junyi: "It's still unclear what the situation is. We'll have Number Three test the waters later."
Wan Qingyun: " Mafia heiress... could it be another political marriage?"
Jiang Junyi: "Hiss... A canary imprisoned, destined for a certain fate, unexpectedly encounters a kind and righteous man, and falls in love at first sight?"
Wan Qingyun: "Hmm... that's kind of the flavor."
Jiang Junyi: "This is going to be a good show."
Wan Qingyun: "Hmm? Aren't you worried? What if Number Three loses his lover?"
Jiang Junyi smiled and patted Wan Qingyun's head, "What are you talking about? We're the villains, we'll just steal it."
Wan Qingyun blinked her beautiful eyes. "Huh? Why are we the villains?"
"Ah..." Jiang Junyi scratched his head, "Looks like it, right?"
Wan Qingyun thought for a moment and slowly nodded, "It seems, there is a little."
"Let's watch the game first. If nothing unexpected happens, that kid Number Three is probably in for a rough time." Jiang Junyi shook his head.
"Um!"
Time passed slowly, and the fierce duel in the Grand Colosseum continued, accompanied by the host's passionate voice.
As evening approached, the contest finally came to a conclusion.
With this, the top twelve have finally been determined.
But this duel is not over yet; the one about to appear is—
" Black and White Court! Are you ready?!"
"Perhaps I should also ask the twelve teams that have advanced: Are you ready?!"
The host's emotions were even higher than before.
"This round of the duel will consist of Foam Stick Blindfolded and Ear-Muffed Fight!"
The announcement of the duel details immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the crowd.
Blindfolded? And ears covered too?
So you're relying on a sixth sense or luck to beat someone up?!
This is a bit outrageous, but why am I a little excited?
Cheers spontaneously erupted within the Grand Colosseum; who wouldn't want to see what kind of match would unfold in this situation?
The selected team is—
The large screen scrolled continuously, eventually stopping at the team name...
" Night Crow!"
"It's Night Crow again!"
"On the first day of this Duel Tournament, these two teams clashed!"
"Will Night Crow succeed in its revenge this time and retain its spot in the next round, or will the Black and White Court once again claim the throne of the top twelve?!"
The host's blood boiled the moment he saw those two names.
It's true what they say, enemies are destined to meet.
"Thump—!"
A figure fell directly from the other side of the contestants' bench into the arena, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
As the sandstorm subsided, a tall and robust figure appeared in the arena.
He crossed his arms, and a diagonal scar ran from the corner of his eye through his nose and lips, making him look fierce and menacing.
The entire stadium was silent for a second, then erupted into a thunderous roar of cheers!
This impactful and hardcore entrance ignited the audience's passion.
Li Sheng, the second-in-command of Night Crow.
To ensure victory this time, the leader ordered him to take charge personally.
He also assured the leader that he would definitely win this battle and inflict fatal damage on the Black and White Court's contestants!
"In this round, whoever hits the other three times first will win."
"The venue is the entire Grand Colosseum!"
The host announced the rules of the duel.
On the players' bench, Bun Brother stood up and said, "I'll do it."
Being blindfolded and ear-covered means you're either incredibly durable or extremely lucky.
No one here is as lucky as him.
"I'll do it." A slightly cool yet gentle voice rang out.
Everyone turned around in shock, including Jiang Junyi, who looked at Wan Qingyun beside him.
" Qingyun! You don't need to go, they can handle it."
Jiang Junyi frowned.
Having finally regained his sight and was able to stand up, he didn't want Wan Qingyun to go through that experience again.
"Yes, Young Madam, we can do it," Number One said, frowning as she advised.
"Miss, we have enough." The Virgo's brows furrowed slightly.
Everyone tried to persuade her, but Wan Qingyun seemed determined.
She smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, no one is more familiar with that kind of environment than me, and no one can beat me in that kind of environment."
Wan Qingyun winked at Jiang Junyi: "I'm also a member of the Black and White Court. Duels suit me, so why can't I go?"
"Moreover, this can be considered a conclusion."
