Chapter 292 - 290: Winner Takes All!
"Mr. Wuya isn’t here. This is a bet between you and me, where the victor shall be king, and the defeated, an outlaw. We have agreed to abide by the outcome; does Big Senior Brother dare to wager on this game with me?" Seeing Xiao Chen searching for Dongfang Wuya, Shen Qinghe resorted to provocation once more.
For so many years, Xiao Chen had restrained himself; he was originally a wild and arrogant character. Now, he was provoked by Shen Qinghe into revealing a long-lost boldness: "Fine, I shall honor the bet and take you on this game!"
He couldn’t possibly lose to Shen Qinghe, for her divine power hadn’t awakened yet. How could she possibly escape from under his watch? Besides, with Shu Xiu’s magical treasure in hand, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t lose to her.
"Agreed, let’s seal the oath with a high five!"
Shen Qinghe and Xiao Chen high-fived, officially kicking off their wager.
Although Xiao Chen was certain that Shen Qinghe couldn’t escape his grasp, he still didn’t dare to be careless. No matter where Shen Qinghe went, he would create an avatar to follow close by, preventing her from having the chance to pull any tricks under his watch.
When Shen Qinghe saw Xiao Chen applying this strict surveillance tactic against her, she wasn’t panicked in the least.
The current situation was that she was fighting against Xiao Chen’s avatar, and she wasn’t necessarily his opponent, plus causing a commotion would alert Xiao Chen. In that case, she had no chance of winning.
Shen Qinghe watched Xiao Chen clumsily stir-fry the vegetables and shook her head with a sigh: "It seems today’s meal won’t taste very good! It’s not just that Big Senior Brother’s cooking is lacking, but his sincerity as well. These ingredients are too ordinary. How about this, I’ll go with Senior Sister Shu to find some mushrooms."
Xiao Chen subconsciously wanted to stop her, but Shen Qinghe added, "Big Senior Brother isn’t worried about me running away and thus refusing to let me go mushroom hunting, is he?"
Xiao Chen looked at Shu Xiu: "You may go, but Shu Xiu must stay."
