CHAPTER 617: CHAPTER 109: ALLIANCE

Seventeen thousand gold coins, which was equivalent to the earnings from five days of normal daily competitions in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone. Because of this matter, the higher-ups of the Dark Night Pavilion called him in and gave him a harsh scolding.

"What’s the matter? The higher-ups blamed you, sweetheart, don’t be angry, it’s just a matter of tens of thousands of gold coins. Once I’ve recovered from my injury, in next month’s double-player monthly competition, I will definitely help you make enough to cover the loss," Liu Qingqing was good at reading people’s expressions, seeing the stifled look on the face of Yellow Night Envoy, she comforted him.

She had also heard that not just her Zone 7, but Zone 9 had also seen the emergence of a dark horse today.

Originally a hot favorite, the leader of the Fengdu Team, Feng Da, was killed.

Feng Da’s skills were unquestionable, although not in the same league as herself, his Poison Skill was indeed formidable.

Liu Qingqing was not only a frequent victor in single-player matches, but she also participated in double-player matches as part of a pair known as "Liu Dao," alongside a male warrior called "Turtle Blade."

Her performance in double-player matches was notably better than in single competitions.

Moreover, due to the higher stakes and prize money in double-player matches, they attracted more viewers, and consequently, the betting stakes around the matches were also higher.

Liu Qingqing’s winning streak had been broken by Donghuang Lingling this time, and seeing her chances of contending for the title of Fighting King in single-player matches greatly diminished, she simply shifted her focus to double-player matches.

With Turtle Blade by her side, she was confident about sweeping through the double-player match Zone.

So far, they had already secured twenty-nine victories in double-player matches. Anyone who could achieve thirty consecutive wins would be able to enter the next month’s monthly competition.

Once entering the monthly competition, the prize money would increase fivefold, and the accumulated record of achievements would also increase by the same.

If they emerged victorious in the monthly competition, they would have the opportunity to advance to the seasonal competition, or even the annual competition. At that point, the rewards for the seasonal and annual competitions would be even greater, bringing one closer to becoming the Fighting King.

Upon hearing Liu Qingqing say this, Yellow Night Envoy also became interested. He indeed needed a victory in the monthly competition to compensate for his loss and to regain the favorable impression of the upper echelons.

"How confident are you? In the Earth Wing Competition Zone, that guy Chen Yeshi has reportedly recruited several very capable newcomers," Yellow Night Envoy and the Night Envoys of the four major competition zones seemed to be colleagues, but in private, the competition was fierce.

"Roughly seventy percent confident, but oh, if you could give me that medicine, I would be ninety-nine percent confident," Liu Qingqing’s soft, boneless hands caressed Yellow Night Envoy’s chest, her charming eyes nearly brimming with water.

"That medicine? You know that medicine is still in the experimental phase, and the Dark Night Pavilion does not recommend its use on humans. That medicine was developed by the Dark Night Pavilion at the request of the Second Young Master of the Sky Wings Arena, and is generally only used on demon beasts, just to add excitement to the Xuanyi District competitions," Yellow Night Envoy pondered.

"You’ve forgotten, I have the body of a half-Demon Beast, otherwise how could I withstand your rough handling," Liu Qingqing said petulantly.

"If I had that medicine, my strength would greatly improve. As long as I break into the monthly and annual competitions, you will surely gain the appreciation of the upper echelons of the Dark Night Pavilion. Maybe you could even move to another competition zone to become a Night Envoy," Liu Qingqing lobbied Yellow Night Envoy earnestly.

Yellow Night Envoy was very tempted upon hearing this. He was tired of staying in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone, where the benefits were too limited, unlike the Night Envoys of the Sky Wings or Earth Wing zones who could become wealthy just by selling intermediate to advanced Magic Potions and Elixirs.

Even the Night Envoy of the Xuanyi District could earn a fair profit by trading in demon beast cubs.

Seeing Yellow Night Envoy beginning to be swayed, Liu Qingqing continued to persuade him.

"I’ve also heard that those two dark horse contestants who spoiled your plans, ’Yan’ and ’Huang,’ have also entered the double-player matches. With a little maneuvering, we are certain to meet them. When that time comes, I will surely teach them a lesson!" Liu Qingqing was narrow-minded, she could not allow Donghuang Lingling to stand well and good on the stage after injuring her.

The Yellow Night Envoy hesitated; indeed, he had not given up on the idea of subduing Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling.

Especially since the latter might be a Dark Mage.

Among female Mages, those with the Dark Attribute are as rare as a phoenix feather and a unicorn’s horn. If she does not come from a prominent family, then subduing her and presenting her to esteemed guests from the Magic Temple would undoubtedly make her very popular.

"Fine, as long as you can win another match and enter the monthly competition, I will give you the medicine," decided the Yellow Night Envoy to take a gamble as well.

After all, Liu Qingqing would only use that Forbidden Medicine in extreme circumstances, and to his knowledge, among those who had entered into the monthly competition, none were more formidable than Liu Qingqing and Turtle Blade.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing was overjoyed, and the two of them became affectionate.

The next morning, Donghuang Lingling’s eyes were swollen red like two walnuts.

Upon seeing her own dreadful appearance, she let out a scream and pestered Yun Sheng to use Ice Magic to reduce the swelling around her eyes. After much fussing, she finally agreed to leave the house.

When Donghuang Lingling saw Gu Feng, she looked at him with concern.

But to her surprise, Gu Feng appeared energetic and gave Donghuang Lingling a big, cheerful smile, as if nothing had happened the night before.

This puzzled Donghuang Lingling; the big fool looked as if the sky was falling last night, but now he was as spirited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Though she felt doubtful in her heart, seeing Gu Feng acting as cheerful as usual, Donghuang Lingling felt both delighted and worried.

Qi Ye noticed that something was wrong with the expressions of Gu Feng and Donghuang Lingling, but since he was not good with words, he did not ask Gu Feng any further questions.

"Qi, I’ve decided. Starting today, I will also participate in the Earth Wing Competition Zone trials," Gu Feng announced his important decision publicly.

An hour later, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling returned to Zone 9 and found Chu Yu.

They told Chu Yu that they had decided to enter the doubles competition and had also agreed to participate in all the daily competitions in Chu Yu’s Zone 9 starting from that day.

Chu Yu gladly accepted their decision.

The number of participants in the competitions at Zone 9, where Chu Yu was located, was not high due to its geographical location and certain reasons, which resulted in fewer spectators attending the competitions daily.

Chu Yu was quite pleased that Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lele had taken the initiative to come to his zone.

While Chu Yu and the "Flame Emperor" were discussing, a pair of malicious eyes was observing the "Flame Emperor" and Chu Yu from not too far away.

"Chu Yu, a word of advice, as a referee, it’s better if you don’t get too close to the competitors," a voice that sounded like a man yet also like a woman inappropriately interrupted their conversation.

Without turning around to see who it was, a hint of impatience flashed across Chu Yu’s beautiful face, "Kong Fei, why are you bothering with my remote Zone 9 when you have your bustling Zone 1 to manage?"
