Chapter 1149: Courting DeathTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Trust him to ask me that at this point! Liu Yintong was hopping mad, her voice rising a decibel in a screeching manner. “I say, get your fiend to stop what it’s doing! Can’t you hear me?!”
“Senior, nobody can interfere in a fight between fiends. Besides, Tuan Zi is known to have a foul temper. Even I can’t control it much at times. If we don’t put an end to this match, I’m afraid that… it probably won’t stop,” said Chu Liuyue with a hint of an apologetic expression.
Everyone, however, knew that this wasn’t the case—its owner refused to get the fiend to stop and was trying to force Liu Yintong into admitting defeat.
Liu Yintong naturally could tell what Chu Liuyue was trying to do here. Her body trembled with anger as she glared at the latter with fury in her eyes. “You’re being insolent, Chu Yue!”
Chu Liuyue pretended as if she couldn’t hear the threat in Liu Yintong’s words. She remained indifferent and didn’t respond to her.
Meanwhile, Tuan Zi seemed to be having the time of its life and didn’t look back even once. It happily swiped its claws and ripped the feathers off the other red-tailed phoenix, which barely had any left now.
The red-tailed phoenix naturally couldn’t put up with the humiliation, but it wasn’t a match for Tuan Zi with it being terribly injured and hanging onto its last breath. It didn’t even have the energy to retaliate and could only tilt its head to the side and let Tuan Zi continue to torture it.
It was one hell of a bizarre sight.
All of a sudden, Liu Yintong sneered and turned around. “Fine! Since you refuse to make your fiend stop, I’ll stop that thing myself!”
“You’ll automatically be admitting defeat if you get involved in the fight,” Chu Liuyue kindly reminded her.
That got Liu Yintong to stop in her tracks.
A wave of cold air descended upon them, and the surroundings were filled with dead silence. Everyone turned to look at Chu Liuyue as if she were a lunatic. Where in the world did this guy get his guts from to challenge Liu Yintong in this manner?!
“Hah!” Liu Yintong scoffed, her voice sounding forced as she gritted out,
“Consider this your win! Now, get your beast to stop right away!’
Chu Liuyue lifted her chin slightly, her calm and peaceful expression instantly vanishing and being replaced by a glacial look. “Please take back the last sentence, or I can’t guarantee that your ‘beast’ will survive tonight.”
She spoke so slowly that everyone could clearly hear each and every word she said. Despite her youthful look, the way she spoke was resolute. It was like she had immense power.
Liu Yintong—who wanted to snap back at her—suddenly shivered internally when she met the latter’s dark and unfathomable eyes. The retort that had made its way to the tip of her tongue got swallowed back into her throat instead.
After a moment, she finally turned her head and said stiffly, “I concede!”
This was the biggest ‘concession’ on Liu Yintong’s part, although it was more appropriate to say that she had yielded to Chu Liuyue.
Gong Sheng and everyone else were at a loss for words. As Liu Yintong’s close friends, they naturally knew how big of a humiliation it was for her to say this to a junior who had just joined the academy. But then again, there wasn’t any other way out.
Her contracted fiend was about to die in the claws of Chu Yue’s fiend. What more could she say or do now?
“Tuan m,” Chu Liuyue finally called. “Come back.”
Only then did Tuan Zi fling the dying red-tailed phoenix down and fly over. It even stomped on the other phoenix’s face on its way down. Bah! Serve you right for eyeing my bloodline!
The red-tailed phoenix’s head flopped down, and it finally passed out completely.
Liu Yintong was so angry that she stared daggers at Tuan Zi.
Tuan Zi, however, seemed oblivious to her glares. It flew over to the mouth of the fountain and gulped down the water, its eyes lighting up in surprise when warm energy instantly spread to its entire body.
Despite Tuan Zi’s wish to continue drinking the fountain water, it knew that Chu Liuyue was still waiting for it, so it reluctantly flew back to her, shrinking to the size of a palm before landing safely on her shoulder.
Even though its feathers were stained with blood, Tuan Zi didn’t look like it was suffering from any serious injuries. Chu Liuyue’s mind was put at ease after carefully examining it.
Liu Yintong stormed over, only to see her contracted fiend unconscious and seriously injured. From the horrifying wounds on its body, she could tell how hard Tuan Zi had gone on her fiend earlier.
D*mn it! This useless thing! Liu Yintong’s expression darkened as she let out a curse internally. It looks like it will take at least ten days for it to recover. Will this affect my ranking on the Qing Yun Ranking next month? The reason why Tm able to rank in the top fifty on the Qing Yun Ranking warrior list is mainly due to my contracted fiend, but now…
Just as Liu Yintong wanted to summon her fiend, she heard a clear voice from behind. “You seem to have forgotten something, Senior.”
Liu Yintong looked back, only to see Chu Liuyue smiling harmlessly at her while saying words that drove her hopping mad: “The bet.’
The audience drew a sharp intake of breath. The nerve ofhim! Can’t he see how dark Liu Yintongs expression is?! He’s completely offended her!
Chu Liuyue naturally knew that this would make Liu Yintong hate her even more, but it wasn’t like the latter had given her a chance before. They were the ones who proposed to have a match with a bet after all. If it weren’t because Tuan Zi was capable enough and that she had a few tricks up her sleeves, the fiend lying on the ground now would have been Tuan Zi.
From the moment she possessed a red-tailed phoenix that had a stronger bloodline than the other red-tailed phoenix, she had already offended them. In that case, there wasn’t a need for her to be forbearing and conciliatory since whatever she did would be wrong.
Liu Yintong clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. If it weren’t for the fact that fighting between students wasn’t allowed on Million Wine Mountain, she would’ve gone straight up to Chu Liuyue and ripped that sickening face.
She turned around and walked to the red-tailed phoenix lying on the ground.
With a lift of her hand, a red force shot out and enveloped the fiend.
Soon, a red drop of blood gathered at the top of its head, followed by the second and third drops. She then flicked her hand and made the three drops of blood fly over to Chu Liuyue. “There you go!’
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly as she channeled her force and caught the three drops of blood safely in her hands.
The expressions of the people with keen eyes became a lot more complicated when they looked at Chu Liuyue after seeing this scene.
Liu Yintong was a demigod after all. Even if she didn’t use all her strength, that move contained a considerable amount of force. However, Chu Yue, a mere stage-seven warrior, had easily caught the blood.
The corners of Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up. “Thank you for honoring your word, Senior. You really are generous.”
The crowd was speechless. Please! That’s enough! Stop making things difficult for yourself!
Chu Liuyue—who seemed oblivious to their inner cries—fed the blood to Tuan Zi and then asked with a grin, “Then… What about Million Wine Mountain’s fountain…?”
