Chapter 939: The Space Battlefield
Stunning Snow highly anticipated the match between Mo Wen and Yao Yu. As such, she had rushed to the battle arena immediately after receiving news of the impending fight. She still remembered when she first met Mo Wen. He had just been a little warrior then. She wanted to see how much Mo Wen had grown in just half a year.
More and more people gathered in the battle arena. Almost the entire arena was filled, and there were still more people entering. The battle arena had not been so crowded since the Martial Arts Circle Convention started.
Mo Wen was first on the Heaven List and the most dazzling person in the Martial Arts Circle Convention. As such, he attracted a lot of attention. Meanwhile, Yao Yu was a mysterious person from the Demon Gods Alliance. She was stunningly beautiful and devilishly charming. She had taken advantage of many geniuses from the inner world, who had become her servant.
Mo Wen was the most powerful individual of the younger generation. His fight with Yao Yu could almost represent the conflict between the younger generation of Huaxia and the Demon Gods Alliance. The battle’s wager was also filled with innuendo.
Everyone was interested in gossip and this shocking gossip attracted almost everyone in Dragon City.
“Mo Wen, what do you mean?”
Yao Yu’s expression was cold. She did not seem devilishly charming. Was the young man trying to play her in front of everyone?
“Cough cough, excuse me. Do you both agree to these conditions?” The referee coughed lightly and looked at Mo Wen and Yao Yu oddly. He did not understand the relationship between the two. He had been a referee for many years, but had neverheard such a wager.
“I do not agree.”
Yao Yu spoke coldly. “If I lose, I will become his woman. If he loses, he has to become my servant. This was what we agreed on earlier.”
Mo Wen was really shameless. Yao Yu was certain, at that moment, that Mo Wen was shameless and thick-skinned.
“Miss Yao Yu, when did we ever discuss the wager? Don’t speak nonsense. I feel that the conditions set just now are very fair. No matter who loses, the price we have to pay is the same. However, the conditions that you set are a little unfair, aren’t they?”
Mo Wen spoke lightly.
“These were the rules I set when jousting for a spouse. You are the first on the Heaven List, are you going to go against your word?” Yao Yu breathed in deeply. What was this fairness that Mo Wen spoke of? She wanted to crush his face with her foot.
“Jousting for a spouse? Miss Yao Yu, when I agreed to meet you in ten days, I only agreed to fight with you. I did not agree to joust for a spouse. You must be mistaken.”
Mo Wen was not so stupid. How could he wager himself to someone he did not know about at all? He did not know where she came from and did not know how powerful she was.
The referee looked at the two speechlessly. They had already reached the battle arena but still had not agreed to the terms of the treaty. If it were anyone else, he would have already thrown them out.
“I did not expect the most powerful young man of Huaxia to be so cowardly. If you think that’s unfair, then we will change it so that the loser will become the winner’s servant. How about that? That’s fair, isn’t it?”
The rage in Yao Yu’s heart soared. Mo Wen was a shameless person. When he became her servant, she would teach him a lesson.
“Miss Yao Yu, that’s not very nice. Why would you want someone to be your servant in that manner? You are a friend from a foreign country. As someone in his own land, I will not sign such an agreement that will hurt harmonious relations. Marrying each other and never leaving the other person is a great agreement. Of course, if you are not willing, we can also change it so that, if you lose, you’ll let me kiss you. If I lose, you can kiss me. This is a friendly treaty.”
Mo Wen said this with a smile. Being shameless was the best way to deal with women like Yao Yu.
“Damn you!”
Yao Yu found that she could not bear it any longer. If they were not in the battle arena, she would have already exploded with rage.
“The two of you, do you have an agreement? How about you come again when you come to terms?” The referee was speechless.
Yao Yu breathed in deeply. She knew that it was impossible to force Mo Wen into agreeing with her. The young man was as sly as a fox. She had thought too much of herself if she thought she could take advantage of him.
At the same time, Yao Yu also had a solemn outlook. Mo Wen was the first on the Heaven List of Huaxia. Furthermore, he had shone brightly during the battle of the sects. If it were anyone else, he would already feel very confident and consider himself unparalleled in the world. However, Mo Wen was able to remain calm and prudent under such circumstances. He was no simple man.
At least in the battle arena, the other warriors did not once think that Mo Wen would be no match for Yao Yu. Even if the two of them went along with the wager that Yao Yu suggested, Mo Wen still was not going to lose. Yao Yu was as good as delivering herself right to Mo Wen’s door.
After all, Mo Wen’s performance at the battle of the sects had been beyond shocking. Ordinary Primordial Soul Realm warriors might not even be able to beat him. It was unrealistic for him to be afraid of Yao Yu, who was about his age. Many people even thought that Yao Yu was doing this to sell herself to Mo Wen. This sort of thing was very common. In the martial arts world, those who were powerful were revered. And beautiful women liked heroes. At least, many women in Dragon City had this thought.
However, they themselves would not even have the chance to speak with Mo Wen. Even if they wanted to use this strategy to get at Mo Wen, they would not have the opportunity to do so.
As such, many people in the arena thought that it was very normal for Mo Wen to reject what Yao Yu said. They all thought that Yao Yu was thick-skinned and wanted to clamber onto Mo Wen. They thought that she was angry and ashamed at being rejected by Mo Wen.
“That Yao Yu is a rare beauty. She is a seductress among seductresses, and is what men dream of. She is delivering herself right to Mo Wen’s doorstep, but he does not want her. That’s…so infuriating… It would be great if I were Mo Wen… He wouldn’t be like that, would he…?”
“I am certain that Mo Wen is capable in that area. It’s just he’s interested in a different gender… My god, why can’t I have an opportunity like that? I would go willingly even if that beautiful girl wanted me to reduce my lifespan by 50 years.”
“It’s such a waste. If Mo Wen doesn’t want her, he can give her to me. Why must he reject her?”
“Hmph. That Yao Yu is a little slut. She thinks that she can fool around with Mo Wen just because she is pretty. Mo Wen is such a hero. Is he someone she can fool around with just because she wants to…?”
Women took part in the discussion as well. Whereever women gathered, there was center of the gossip. They chattered on and gossiped about what was happening.
Given Yao Yu’s cultivation levels, she could hear all the discussions in the crowd. Her face was as hard as steel. However, she could not rage given where they were. She was so angry she wanted to tear Mo Wen apart. It was unreasonable of her to hate Mo Wen because others were talking about her. However, when were women reasonable?
In any case, Yao Yu was furious, and she wanted to tear Mo Wen into pieces.
“Have the two of you decided?” The referee was feeling a little impatient.
“There is no need for any conditions. All I want is to fight you. You don’t have any objections, do you?” Yao Yu said, looking at Mo Wen. Her eyes, which were like black diamonds, seemed to be burning with fiery flames.
“Of course not. We will do as you say. I respect women very much.”
Mo Wen appeared to be very gentlemanly and to be taking care of Yao Yu. In fact, he did not want to set a wager, either. He would never fight a battle he was not confident of winning. He did not know much about Yao Yu, so how could he dare to make any promises? On the contrary, Yao Yu had already seen him fight in the battle of the sects and had some understanding of his abilities. Under such circumstances, Yao Yu still dared to suggest such a wager. It meant that she was very confident in herself.
Mo Wen did not dare to be careless against such a woman.
“Huaxia has a saying. That oil and water are incompatible. Yao Yu has met her jinx in Mo Wen.”
Stunning Snow’s expression was full of zeal. She had never seen anyone take such advantage of Yao Yu and had never seen her feeling so aggrieved. Even as an outsider, she felt that the comments of the spectators were really inappropriate. To think that Yao Yu could still bear them! That Mo Wen was not only thick-skinned and shameless, but he was also rather naughty. Stunning Snow secretly decided then that she was going to stay far away from Mo Wen.
“Since you do two have not set a treaty, this is just an ordinary battle. Do not overdo it.”
The referee did not have any opinions, of course. The talisman in his hand glowed slightly. Then, a ray of light fell from the sky and onto the arena.
At once, the scene around them changed. It was as if they had traveled through time and space. The two of them came to a snowy region. It was snowing heavily, and the snow on the ground was very thick. Around them was glacier after glacier. They could not see where the end was.
This was the battle arena, and, in it, was the mystery of space and time. It was as if they really had been transported in space and time. The environment would affect how the two of them were going to use their powers. This special battle arena was taxing on resources. Usually, a battle like the one Mo Wen and Yao Yu were having did not have the right to use this special battle arena. Only matches at the Primordial Soul Realm level and above could use such battlegrounds.
However, the manager of Dragon City had come personally to arrange for the two of them to use this battle arena.
“Elder Sister, Mo Wen and Yao Yu’s battle would, at most, be a match at the early stages of the Primordial Soul Realm. It’s a bit of a waste to use the special battlegrounds, isn’t it?”
At some unknown point, two figures had appeared within the battle arena. It was odd, but no one could figure out where they were standing. Even if someone were to glance at them, they would not sense the pair. These were no other than Mo Qingge and Mo Qingtian.
“It is not a waste of your elder sister’s resources. Why, are you feeling the pinch?” Mo Qingge asked lightly.
“Alright…” Mo Qingtian did not speak. It seemed all right to waste the resources of Huatian Palace. Would the Palace care about something as measly as this?
Even though the battlefield had been moved to the snow plains, it did not affect the ability of spectators in the battle arena to watch them. A 360° projection of the snow plains appeared in the center. It would not miss anything that happened on the battlefield.
“That seductress Yao Yu seems so angry. It’s as if she had been wronged by the world. It’s lucky that Mo Wen does not have any designs on her and changed the terms of the treaty. Otherwise, she would have to burn incense and pray to Buddha.”
Pei Fengwu had appeared at an uncertain point on the spectator platform. She shook her head helplessly. She understood Mo Wen too well. He was great at working miracles. Even though Yao Yu was confident in herself, if she forced Mo Wen into a situation of life and death, he might…
Mo Wen could not be pushed without him bouncing back even stronger. Yao Yu was more likely to win a battle like this that was not restricted by any wager.
“The Space Battlefield.”
Yao Yu looked at the snow around them. Shock flashed in her eyes. She had not expected that Huatian Palace would let them use the Space Battlefield.
This was great!
A cold smile appeared on Yao Yu’s lips. This wide space would not affect her abilities. If they were on the challenge ring, it would have restricted her a little.
The referee had already disappeared, leaving behind only Mo Wen and Yao Yu on the snowy plains.
