Free Web NovelChapter 1178: Chapter 1177: Gloating
Once Yanran and Ba Lvti were sure that Jiang Cheng had left the hostel, the two of them couldn’t wait to run out. Of course, before leaving, they entrusted their possessions to the kind hostel steward, asking him to take care of them.
The hostel steward agreed immediately.
The Flaming Firebird is beautiful and intuitive; despite its formidable abilities, as long as you don’t provoke it, it is even more obedient than a child.
As for the two wolf puppies, as long as they have food, they are satisfied.
Besides, they also have the Flaming Firebird looking after them.
Even if they wanted to roam around, the Flaming Firebird wouldn’t allow it.
It’s been over a month since they left the birthplace of the wolf puppies, that snow-covered planet, and the wolf puppies have grown considerably; they no longer seem as timid as before.
Ba Lvti is increasingly beginning to believe Jiang Cheng’s words that the two wolf puppies would grow as large as their father, that giant wolf.
To the hostel steward, being entrusted with care for these three pets was practically an honor.
After all, these are three incredibly rare species.
Not long after Jiang Cheng and the others checked into the hostel, the steward voluntarily requested Yanran and Ba Lv to allow him to take a photo with the pets.
For such a small request, Yanran and Ba Lvluo naturally agreed wholeheartedly, especially given that the steward is a genuinely nice man.
What they didn’t expect was that the steward placed the photo of him with the three pets in the hostel lobby, prominently displayed.
Seeing how much the steward valued his pets, Yanran and Ba Lvti were exceptionally pleased.
Moreover, whenever the hostel wasn’t too busy, the steward would visit Yanran and ask her to bring the three pets downstairs to the lobby to play, groom their fur, or feed them.
The steward’s method not only didn’t displeasure Yanran and Ba Lvti, but they grew more attached to him.
Thus, when they left, they were more than happy to entrust their pets to the steward.
Yanran and Ba Lvluo stepped out of the hostel and were stunned by the sight before them. In just a matter of days, the streets were teeming with so many aliens, and judging by Yanran’s assessment, almost all of them seemed to be martial artists.
This only increased their longing for the underground tournament.
Initially, they regretted rushing out without asking the hostel steward clearly about the location where the underground tournament was being held.
However, they soon realized their worries were unfounded.
Spaceship-like vessels were parked in various spots on the street, offering free transportation to the tournament location.
The existence of such a convenience made Yanran and Ba Lvti think that the dark forces on Bordeaux planet were quite humane.
Each spaceship could accommodate eight people, and Yanran and Ba Lvti discovered that among the passengers were numerous martial artists.
It seems Bordeaux planet indeed has a prevailing martial arts culture.
After some flight time, they arrived at the site where the underground tournament was being held.
Upon disembarking, they found themselves amidst a crowd. The number of participants or spectators was truly overwhelming.
Just as they worried about arriving late and needed to stand in a long line, a laid-back young man approached them. Upon learning Yanran and Ba Lv were there for the underground tournament, he informed them that the planet Bordeaux offers certain conveniences.
Such as having a dedicated entrance.
Regardless of the number of participants, there were definitely fewer women than men, so Yanran and Ba Lvluo’s concerns didn’t come to pass.
Moreover, based on their observations, the security here was good. Despite the gathering of so many martial artists, no unpleasant incidents occurred.
Apparently, just like the dark forces here claimed in their propaganda, anyone who causes trouble here would be the public enemy of all underground forces on Bordeaux planet, and they would surely unite to attack.
It seems their words carried some weight.
Taking advantage of Jiang Cheng’s absence as he went to the local astronaut team, Yanran and Ba Lvti ventured out, preparing to explore where the underground tournament was held.
Now, they stood at the entrance of the underground tournament, waiting to enter the arena.
Though the number of participants wasn’t large, there were still quite a few, including some who were hostile towards Yanran and Ba Lv.
"Are you two little girls here to compete? Aren’t you afraid of being beaten up to the point of having bruised faces?" A young woman, with a bit of beauty, asked them.
In such scenarios, Yanran usually remains silent, leaving the talking to Ba Lv Qian, which is their understood arrangement.
"Keke." Ba Lv smiled, but her laugh was somewhat dry.
"What’s the meaning of that laugh?" The young hothead challenged them.
Perhaps seeing Yanran and the others as easy targets due to their youth, or maybe she was jealous of their beauty.
In general, the woman exuded an inexplicable annoyance.
"Whatever meaning you feel it has." Ba Lv replied, neither strongly nor weakly.
She truly didn’t want to engage with such a nonsensical woman.
The woman shot them a cold, threatening look and said, "You better pray you don’t meet me in the competition, otherwise ... hmph!"
In such situations, actions, not words, prove one’s abilities.
Ba Lvti certainly wouldn’t back down from such a provocation.
Real strength is proven with fists; this isn’t a debate tournament, and even in debates, it’s more about intelligence than words.
"Let’s see how it turns out!" The young woman left them with a parting comment and stopped bothering them.
"Just the way you are!" Ba Lv’s tone started to turn unfriendly.
She was beginning to feel impatient.
Not being naturally patient, and with the woman provoking them first, she was reaching her limit.
"Do you two want to step outside and fight first?" Another woman behind them commented, her tone full of schadenfreude.
Since it was none of her concern, the life or death of the two of them didn’t matter to her; she, instead, was looking forward to a show.
"No interest in performing publicly, not worth it!" Ba Lvluo was becoming increasingly impatient, wondering what kind of people these were!
"Scared, right?" The woman behind them continued relentlessly, her tone full of provocation obvious even to the deaf.
Ba Lv Qian hadn’t spoken yet, but the young woman who previously challenged them started bickering with the woman behind them.
"You think you can see the show with your attitude? Look at yourself in a puddle, can you?"
Ba Lvti and Yanran exchanged bewildered glances. They hadn’t expected such vulgarity from the woman’s language.
Though they are skilled in fighting and killing, the two really are not good at cursing.
