By then, someone from the opposing Chongtian Sect had already stepped onto the stage.
It was their strongest fighter, the Chongtian Sect's young master, Feng Ling.
He was a somewhat plump young man with a small nose and tiny eyes, giving him a distinctly rat-faced, shifty look.
Feng Ling stepped onto the stage and, seeing no one opposite him, gave the referee a puzzled look.
Could they have been cowed by my kingly aura, too afraid to come up?
The referee looked toward the Abyss Cult's waiting area, heard their arguing, and nearly blacked out.
"Enough! That's enough!"
"If you don't choose your fighter now, I'll count it as a forfeit!"
The referee roared.
"..."
"What are you yelling for? We're deciding, aren't we?"
Gu Qiu'er pursed her lips.
Xiao Xiao said, "In that case, let's settle this the fairest way possible!"
The three exchanged glances and threw out their hands at the same time.
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
"Aha, I won!"
Xiao Xiao jumped excitedly out of her chair.
She had thrown rock, while Gu Qiu'er and Lu Yuan had thrown scissors.
"Hehe, I'm going first!"
Xiao Xiao declared smugly, skipping toward the platform.
Gu Qiu'er and Lu Yuan stared at each other.
"Didn't you say I had the blessing of an auspicious omen and a limitless future? How come we couldn't even win at rock, paper, scissors?"
"How would I know? Didn't I lose too?"
Gu Qiu'er folded her arms and harrumphed.
On the platform.
When Feng Ling saw Xiao Xiao's petite, delicate figure, greed gleamed in his soybean-sized eyes.
"Ohoho~ Such an adorable little girl! I almost can't bear to hurt you!"
"So this is your plan? Using a honey trap against me? How despicable!"
At the sight of Feng Ling's behavior, Xiao Xiao's smug expression vanished instantly.
