CHAPTER 618: CHAPTER 110: A SISSY MAN

A pungent smell of powder wafted over as a flamboyantly dressed male referee approached.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling had never seen such an effeminate man before.

He was rather handsome, with thick brows and fine eyes, but for some reason, he gave off an overly creamy vibe.

He sashayed as he walked, making Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling’s skin crawl.

Indeed, a large forest harbors all kinds of birds.

There were a total of nine referees in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone.

Chu Yu was the referee for Zone 9, but the person who came was Kong Fei, the referee for Zone 1.

Though the zones seemed alike on the surface, everyone who had spent time in the Sky Wings Arena knew that between Zones 1 to 9, there were no Teleportation Magic Arrays, and one had to travel on foot.

The audience who came to the Arena for the matches were there for excitement and enjoyment, none of them wanting to walk extra steps.

Zone 9, being the most remote, had different popularity levels, and the audience tended to prefer the matches in Zones 1 to 3 of the daily competition.

Most of the talented and popular competitors, therefore, went to Zones 1 to 3 to enroll for matches, leading these zones to have the highest daily income and popularity.

Some veterans, wanting to achieve higher fame, would bribe the referees in secret to secure themselves a better spot in the competition zones.

The income of the referees was directly related to the number of spectators watching the day’s matches, reflecting how little respect Chu Yu garnered, being positioned in Zone 9.

Currently, Zone 1 of the Yellow Wing Competition Zone had the highest income, with Zone 9 having the lowest.

Yun Sheng found it curious; with her discernment, she saw Chu Yu as an extremely capable manager, yet she had been assigned to Zone 9.

"Chu Yu, don’t reject the face given to you. I only mean well by reminding you," Kong Fei already made his way over with a twist of his hips. He gave Chu Yu a glance, his eyes clearly betraying jealousy when he saw her characteristic face.

"Kong Fei, when it comes to getting close with the competitors, how could I ever compare to you?" Chu Yu’s expression was one of displeasure.

Her implication was a veiled taunt that Kong Fei had taken bribes from competitors, resulting in unfair scheduling of matches.

Kong Fei was greedy and petty, always had a grudge against the beautiful Chu Yu.

Chu Yu had integrity and disliked seeing the murky affairs in the Arena.

She was always fair in her judgments, never accepting bribes in private, and would stop any underhand tricks by the Dark Night Pavilion when possible.

Kong Fei, on the other hand, exploited his special status, not only hogging the position of referee in Zone 1 but also repeatedly took benefits in secret from the Dark Night Pavilion and the competitors.

Even when Yun Sheng and Liu Qingqing had their first solo match against Feng Da and Liu Qingqing, it was Kong Fei who was stirring things up behind the scenes.

All of these, Chu Yu never disclosed earlier because Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling were not insiders of the Arena.

"You slut, are you accusing me of taking bribes? Chu Yu, you shameless thing. Last time, was it not you who complained about me to the City Lord, resulting in the Second Young Master getting scolded?" Kong Fei’s pale face twitched with anger.

He was exceedingly effeminate, and when angered, he would stomp his foot and put his hands on his hips, his fingers posed in an affectation, resembling a fishwife in a street quarrel.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling understood now—this Kong Fei was indeed a sissy!

"If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself. How many benefits you’ve received from the Yellow Night Envoy, don’t think I am unaware. Just because you’ve got cozy with the Second Young Master, you think the entire Yellow Wing Competition Zone is under your control," Chu Yu’s countenance grew increasingly grim.

"Hmph, you’re just envious and jealous, don’t think I am unaware of why you were kicked out of the City Lord Mansion. Because you couldn’t hook up with anyone important, and no minor figure interested you. Let me tell you, your days of pride won’t last long. I am set to become the referee chief of the Yellow Wing Competition Zone," Kong Fei gave a side glance to the "Flame Emperor" duo.

The Sky Wings Arena was also a property of the Sky Wing City Lord, and is currently managed by Second Young Master Tian Yidong, the son of the City Lord.

When Tian Yidong took over the Sky Wings Arena, in order to assist him, the Sky Wing City Lord appointed four referee chiefs for the four major competition zones.

These four individuals, together with Tian Yidong, formed the senior management of the Sky Wings Arena, overseeing the daily affairs of the entire Arena and possessing significant authority.

Since Tian Yidong himself does not often appear at the Sky Wings Arena, the referee chiefs of each competition zone effectively act as the true rulers of their respective zones in daily matters.

Last year, the Yellow Wing Competition Zone’s person-in-charge retired to return home, and a new person for the position remained undecided and unselected.

Tian Yidong had announced publicly that all referees from the nine daily competition areas of the Yellow Wing Competition Zone were eligible to compete for the position of the new referee chief.

The rule was that by the end of this year, whichever Sun Competition Zone generated the highest annual revenue, would earn the right to become the new referee chief.

This condition seemed fair, but in reality, it was very unfair.

As everyone knows, the annual income of the zones from one to nine varies greatly.

The annual income of Zone 1 is dozens of times higher than that of Zone 9 where Chu Yu is located.

Most referees, facing this requirement, felt anger but dared not speak out, as they all knew that Kong Fei and Second Young Master Tian Yidong have a close relationship.

The so-called selection of a new competition zone referee chief was actually just an arrangement for Kong Fei to ascend to the position.

Behind the scenes, they either fawn over Kong Fei or scorn him, avoiding him whenever possible.

Yet no one dared to confront Kong Fei head-on.

This was also why Kong Fei found all sorts of faults with Chu Yu, constantly causing her problems.

Chu Yu, however, was an exception. Whether openly or secretly, she opposed Kong Fei, and she never gave up the chance to compete for the position of the new Yellow Wing Competition Zone referee chief.

It must be said that Chu Yu is quite a character.

With her exceptional appearance and personal charm, she attracted many spectators.

Thanks to her efforts, the income of Zone 9 had improved, but that was still just a drop in the bucket.

After all, even a talented cook cannot prepare a meal without rice; without the addition of good contestants, Chu Yu could only watch the days until the end-of-year settlement approach one by one.

Yet just when Chu Yu was nearing despair, "Flame Emperor" appeared.

This once again ignited a glimmer of hope in Chu Yu.

The situation for Kong Fei, however, was completely different.

With only eight or nine months left until the end of the year, Kong Fei had been one hundred percent confident that he could defeat Chu Yu.

Kong Fei, from a very young age, had a penchant for cross-dressing.

He wanted to be a woman but unfortunately was not one.

After he aligned himself with Second Young Master, he became even more brazen.

Since Chu Yu arrived at the Sky Wings Arena, her gorgeous looks and outstanding social skills made Kong Fei deeply envious, and he continuously tried to undermine her in secret.

Chu Yu had put up with it on several occasions before, but today, when the other party came knocking at her door, Chu Yu was no longer polite.
