85 Let’s Make a Be (2/2)
”How about we make a bet?” The ”rose” snapped her fingers gracefully. ”What if I can find your things?”
”Unless they're stolen by you!” Chen Fan said impudently, ”Otherwise, I don't think you have any way to find my lost items.”
”Bet, or no bet?” The ”rose” showed her pearly white teeth as she said each word with emphasis.
”Bet, why not? I shall see how you're gonna find my things.” Chen Fan casually placed the plastic bag at the side of the road and sat on the ground. ”What's the bet? First let me get this straight. I'm only left with myself and this pair of swimming trunks. I don't have any other valuable things to bet on.”
”How about that plastic bag beside you?” The ”rose” pointed at Chen Fan's side. ”If I win, the plastic bag will be mine. If I lose, you can state a condition, but it can't be something too unreasonable.”
”Hmm…” Chen Fan rubbed his face hard. He was certain that she did not know what was in the plastic bag; she was just being cheeky. But looking at her full of confidence, Chen Fan was a little unsure. What if she saw the person who took his clothes by chance?
After some thought, Chen Fan felt that the possibility was low. After all, they did not know each other. She did not have to go one big round to make fun of him.
”Alright. If you lose, you'll help me settle my air ticket back!” Chen Fan had no intention of abiding by the conditions of this bet. She was just a delicate woman who looked as if she would fall over with just a light push. If she really managed to find his lost items, Chen Fan was prepared to snatch the things and then run away.
Chen Fan was not at all concerned about her background or how influential she was. Only a person who had nothing better to do would come after him over a silly bet. However, Chen Fan soon realized that he was wrong. The ”rose” really was someone who had nothing better to do.
”Little devil, don't you try any tricks if you lose. Otherwise I'll find trouble for you!” The ”rose” shook her slender finger in front of Chen Fan. With Chen Fan's astonished eyes looking at her, she took out an eight centimeter long jadeite flute out of nowhere.
Although Chen Fan knew nothing about jadeite, he was certain that the flute was much prettier than the few million RMB ring on Chen Shuguang's finger. The ”rose” placed the flute on her lips and performed a beautiful tune for Chen Fan. After that, she squatted down following Chen Fan's posture, and then stared at him with a smile that said ”you're gonna lose”.
”What are you doing?” Chen Fan was totally confused. What has finding the lost items got to do with a blowing flute? If lost items could be found by blowing the flute, there wouldn't be any thieves in this world!
”You're gonna find out soon!” The ”rose” said smilingly. ”No cheating! You have to understand that most women are not magnanimous. I'll be very angry if you cheat!”
”Haha.” What Chen Fan wanted to say was, ”What can you do if I cheat? Don't tell me you're gonna get that Mr Wu to kill me?” It was funny seeing a delicate lady trying to act tough in front of a man. ”Start thinking of a way to get me my plane ticket back!” Chen Fan hugged his knees as he leisurely rolled his tongue and imitated the sound of her flute.
After less than five seconds, Chen Fan's whistling suddenly stopped as his eyes almost popped out! He heard a loud chirp and saw a snow-white eagle with its wings spreaded out, flapping them before landing on the road beside the ”rose”.
”White eagle?” Chen Fan almost fell to the ground. ”This...this…” It was difficult to describe how beautiful this eagle was. Other than its two round, shiny black eyes, even its beak and claws were pure white without any blemish.
”This is the most sacred gift heaven bestowed to us Manchurians. It's a gyrfalcon, not some albino vulture like you said!”
”Dancing elegantly, like the bird called gyrfalcon” The ”rose” rolled her eyes angrily at the country bumpkin before gently carrying the beautiful, white gyrfalcon and touching its head as she said, ”There have been countless numbers of people mesmerized by it since ancient times but unable to get hold of it. But a country bumpkin like you didn't even recognize it.”
White gyrfalcon? Manchurian rose?
Chen Fan almost bit off his own tongue. He had never been more shocked in his entire life! This dainty and delicate looking little beauty actually had a big eagle which looked more ferocious than the electric eel.
”Alright, I admit that my knowledge is limited!” Chen Fan stood up and said with a serious expression. ”Although your eagle looked as pretty as you and its eyes looked many times stronger than ours, I still do not believe that its brain cells are comparable to the detectives in the police station!”
”Little devil, I'm gonna show you what 'God's incarnation' is today!” At that moment, the ”rose” looked as if she had been possessed by the Priestess of the Moon who had just attained level 6 Starfall, looking extremely awesome!
