As he drank the soup, he was so happy that he seemed to hear bells chiming softly.
Simultaneously, alarm bells clanged obnoxiously because he had just gone broke.
The forty thousand yuan he had left now settled heavily in his stomach. He had to stop his training plans for now. In a few days’ time, he would not even have money for food with starvation looming in the future.
”Lou Lan, any ideas on how I can earn some money?” Ai Hui asked with some distress.
”Earn money?” Lou Lan stared blankly. It was the first time someone had questioned him on this subject, leading him to ask, ”You’re out of money?”
”Yes, it’s all gone.” Ai Hui pondered as he spoke. ”If not for the fifty thousand from that blind battle, I would really have starved.”
”Blind battle?” Lou Lan’s eyes brightened. ”You’re good at blind battles? Then go participate in more blind battles!”
”How can there be a blind battle every day?” Ai Hui shook his head and felt a brief pang of guilt.
The incident resurfaced in his brain, leaving a weakened yet distinct sensation on his fingertips. Ai Hui inwardly sighed. Having overly strong fighting instincts had its downsides; he could clearly remember every single detail of that particular battle.
And he had no desire to remember such an embarrassing incident.
”Yes there is.” Lou Lan raised his index finger with sparkling eyes.
Ai Hui was taken aback. Had the Shi Clan Training Hall organized another blind battle? It was certainly possible, Ai Hui thought as he mulled it over. Blind battles were pretty interesting, and training halls would not give them up so easily.
But what is this awkwardness I’m feeling?
A pang of hunger snapped him out of it before Ai Hui realized he was being senseless. What awkwardness, what embarrassment? These thoughts vanished like smoke into thin air. He asked hastily, ”Where? Let’s go!”
No one could stop him from making money. He would kill God and Buddha if he had to. Girl...
Heh, heh, you better pray you won’t run into me.
A cold light flashed through his half-lidded eyes his heart as hard as steel.
Because you’re out of luck if we meet!
Ai Hui, with his murderous expression, raised his head and walked out like a heroic warrior ready for battle.
Shi Xueman surveyed the Central Pine City, lost in thought. In the past, this small city had been nameless to her, but now she kept returning to it whenever she got a break. It was here that she experienced her biggest setback and her most painful failure.
She would never, ever forget—not in this lifetime!
She clenched her teeth.
Her thoughts shifted to her blind battle strategy and wondered how it was progressing. She held high hopes for this operation. Although she was unprepared, and her skills were not enough to defeat that terrifying enemy of hers, she hoped only to find hints to help her identify that bastard.
Perhaps there would be good news today?
She was slightly expectant after hearing that the training hall had specially implemented many unique rules involving the blind battle. That fellow was an expert in blind battling, so how could he possibly not be moved to participate in such an interesting event? If she were him, she would not be able to resist entering this upcoming competition.
If I find any clues, you are dead!
A bone-chilling, murderous look flashed across Shi Xueman’s icy face.
Meanwhile, in the garden, a fire cloud descended slowly with Uncle Yong Zheng waiting for her. She jumped onto the fire cloud and said, ”It’s been hard on you, Uncle. How is our plan coming along? Any progress?”
Yong Zheng’s expression was a little odd, and Shi Xueman immediately knew something was wrong upon seeing it. She bluntly asked, ”What happened?”
