Chapter 2191: Baby, Come with Me 2
The final day’s competition tests strategy. Ten people remain, divided into two groups.
Each group has five people, competing in a group match, eliminating four, and the one who stands out advances.
The final two advance to the ultimate showdown!
The rules were announced a day in advance, so Miss Xia spent the night digging out all her precious poisons to carry with her.
When going on stage, throw a bottle of Soft Muscle Powder, and victory is assured!
However, to her surprise, during the group match, she ended up in the same group as the Poison King Valley’s head.
Xia Weibao raised an eyebrow, reaching this point in the competition, finally facing off, she felt a hint of anticipation.
Her mentor said that back in the day, he and the head of Poison King Valley, known as Poison King, competed in the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch selection tournament.
But he lost one move and was defeated by the Poison King.
Afterward, he painstakingly researched Poison Technique, even going as far as testing poison on living people and raising poison subjects just to defeat the Poison King in poison usage.
He nearly reached the point of obsession.
It was for this reason that she left her mentor and ventured alone.
The Poison King won and became the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, but was challenged down by someone the following year.
However, the unresolved anger in her mentor’s heart remained, constantly reminding her to participate in the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch selection tournament one day and defeat the Poison King honorably to avenge him.
“Baby, Baby.”
The person beside her gently nudged her shoulder, and Xia Weibao realized she had been distracted.
She looked blankly at the man beside her, “What’s wrong?”
“What are you thinking about?” Lu Hualiang frowned, as she’s about to compete, yet she seemed distracted.
“Nothing, I’ll go prepare first.”
“Hmm, you go ahead and compete. I have some matters to attend to.”
“Where are you going?” Xia Weibao was a bit anxious, the unease in her heart growing stronger these days.
His absences were becoming longer, feeling like he was about to leave.
Lu Hualiang touched her head, his gaze gentle as always.
“To handle some matters.”
Xia Weibao caught sight of a man in black quickly passing by behind him, her expression changed, and she hurriedly grabbed his hand.
“Are you coming back?”
Lu Hualiang’s hand on her hair paused slightly, then he fell silent.
This silence made Xia Weibao uneasy, her lips instinctively pressed together.
After a long while, Lu Hualiang broke the silence, looking at her steadily, “Do you want me to come back?”
At that moment, Xia Weibao felt all surrounding sounds fade away; he was really leaving.
Finally, they reached this moment of parting, feeling even worse than imagined.
Lu Hualiang stared intently at her, “Baby, do you want me to come back?”
Xia Weibao solemnly nodded, “Yes, I want you to come back, you must come back.”
“Alright.” Lu Hualiang glanced at the direction of the stage; the first match of five had finished, and it was Xia Weibao’s turn soon.
Probably one more Shichen Chinese Time, and the new Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch would emerge.
Retracting his gaze, he gently stroked her hair, his eyes filled with affection transforming into lingering, “I will return before you become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, to celebrate with you.”
“Alright.” Xia Weibao stated solemnly, “You must come back, to see me take that position.”
Watching Lu Hualiang leave, joining with those men in black, Xia Weibao felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
