Chapter 236 The Poor Greedy Child
Under Mo Fan's coercion and enticement, Zhao Manyan finally agreed to go to Dunhuang with them. To be honest, Zhao Manyan didn't really want to take the risk, but considering that his cultivation had recently reached a bottleneck, and with Jiang Han guaranteeing his safety, he thought that going to Dunhuang might be worthwhile.
"Let's go to the northern corner of Zhuoyuan for training! Count me in!" Ai Tutu said.
"No way!!" Jiang Han and Mu Nujiao said in unison.
Jiang Han was afraid that when Ai Tutu, Mu Nujiao, and Xin Xia met, it would turn into a life-or-death struggle. Mu Nujiao was worried that Ai Tutu might encounter some danger during her training. It wasn't that Mu Nujiao didn't trust Jiang Han's strength, but she didn't want Jiang Han to be distracted by protecting them.
"You just went out for training recently. After the competition, you should stay home and cultivate diligently," Mu Nujiao said.
"Okay then~." Ai Tutu said with a disappointed look on her face.
"The team's firepower is sufficient now, but we're still missing a wind mage to act as a scout and a healing mage to ensure our safety. After all, the North Corner of Scorched Plains is notoriously dangerous. Without a strong scout and a healing mage, we might lose limbs, or even die from blood loss if we're unlucky," Zhao Manyan emphasized.
"We can find Zhang Xiaohou for wind-type mages, but healing-type mages are a bit troublesome," Mo Fan said thoughtfully, resting his chin on his hand.
"Oh, right." Zhao Manyan suddenly remembered something, patted Mo Fan on the shoulder and said, "Isn't your little sister Xin Xia a major in healing and a minor in mental cultivation? Elemental demons aren't like other demons that are completely hostile to humans. Your sister has mental abilities, so bringing her along might make our journey much easier."
"That's a question for you to ask..." Mo Fan was about to suggest asking Jiang Han, but he was silenced by Jiang Han's murderous gaze. Mo Fan coughed a few times before saying, "Ahem, I need to ask Xin Xia's opinion. If Xin Xia disagrees, I can't force her."
"Remember to bring Lingling along; it'll save us a lot of trouble," Jiang Han said casually.
"Mm." Mo Fan nodded and said.
······
Back home, Ai Tutu changed into cute bunny slippers and sat on the sofa in a huff, while Mu Nujiao calmly took an apple from the refrigerator and ate it in small bites, though her eyes kept glancing at Ai Tutu and Jiang Han out of the corner of her eye.
"If you won't let me and Sister Mu go, is it because you're going to be with that little sweetheart named Xin Xia?" Ai Tutu said sourly.
Although Ai Tutu already knew that Jiang Han had a girlfriend named Ye Xinxia, in her eyes, Sister Mu was the boss, and everyone else was just a little lover. Well, even the one in the capital was one of them. When they met in the future, everyone else would have to call her sister.
Who told her to be the first to try something new? Apart from Sister Mu, Ai Tutu doesn't respect anyone else.
"Ahem, didn't you hear Mo Fan say that the team can't be without a healing mage? And Xin Xia happens to have awakened a healing mage, so we need her to come along." Jiang Han's reasoning sounded rather far-fetched.
Even Jiang Han himself didn't quite believe the reason he gave. Ai Tutu rolled her eyes at Jiang Han and ignored him. Instead, she sat down in front of Mu Nujiao and whispered in her ear, which made Mu Nujiao's ears turn red and her face blush involuntarily.
Although Jiang Han was also curious about what strange knowledge Ai Tutu had instilled in Mu Nujiao, it was a bit inconvenient to stay any longer, so Jiang Han wisely went back to his room to sleep.
The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Han, Ai Tutu, and Mu Nujiao went to the training hall as usual to participate in today's competition. Perhaps still angry with Jiang Han, Ai Tutu pulled Mu Nujiao and walked far ahead, occasionally greeting the male students who passed by.
Upon arriving at the training ground, Ai Tutu pulled Mu Nujiao to sit far away from Jiang Han, completely ignoring him.
Women can be quite terrifying when they get jealous, and most importantly, they're hard to appease in a short time. Jiang Han was quite helpless about this.
Soon, the mechanical instruments above the training ground reassigned the participants to their matches. This time, Ai Tutu was not lucky enough to get a bye and encountered a water-type student. Their battle was likely to be a long one, a contest of who had more magic energy reserves. Mu Nujiao's opponent was easier than last time. As for Jiang Han's opponent, it seemed to be one of the top ten school beauties, named Huang Xingli.
Upon seeing that Jiang Han's opponent was Huang Xingli, Ai Tutu, who was sitting in front of Mu Nujiao, said angrily, "If Jiang Han dares to go easy on Huang Xingli, I won't talk to him for the next week."
"Are you sure you can hold back?" Mu Nujiao said calmly.
"Sister Mu, can you please stop undermining us like this? If we don't teach Jiang Han a lesson this time, he might bring those little vixens home next time," Ai Tutu whispered.
"Don't drag me into this, we're different," Mu Nujiao said.
"Yes, yes, we're different. Sister Mu, you're going to be the eldest sister," Ai Tutu said with a grin.
"Stop watching the game so inappropriately," Mu Nujiao said coldly. If she didn't change the subject, she couldn't guarantee what kind of inappropriate things that brat Ai Tutu might say.
Seeing that Mu Nujiao was about to get angry, Ai Tutu dared not continue joking and looked at Jiang Han and the others who had already come down to the arena.
"Go, School Beauty Huang! Take down that big boss Jiang Han!"
"This guy must be a die-hard fan of Huang Xingli, he really dares to say anything."
"This guy is ruthless for daring to call Jiang Han a BOSS to his face."
「那边的有人开盘赌江寒一分钟内赢下黄星丽胜率为1：100，而赌江寒五分钟内赢下黄星丽的胜率为1:10，最重要的是赌江寒十分钟赢下的黄星丽的胜率还有1：2。」
"Holy crap, where did this idiot come from who wants to bet 50,000? I'm betting on the one with the highest odds."
After saying that, many students rushed towards the "fools" who were opening the betting pool. Two of the "fools" were none other than Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan. Zhao Manyan's identity as the young master of the Zhao family in Shanghai was quite attractive to the students who came to place bets.
"I'm betting a million that Boss Jiang Han can take care of Huang Xingli in one minute."
"I'm betting 700,000 on whether Boss Jiang Han can take care of Huang Xingli within five minutes."
"I'm betting 500,000 that Jiang Han can take down Huang Xingli in one minute."
"·····"
"Huang Xingli is, after all, one of the top 100 beauties in the Fire Academy. We should give her some face. So I'm betting 200,000 on Jiang Han to beat Huang Xingli in ten minutes. Cough cough, I'm also betting 5 million on Jiang Han to beat Huang Xingli in one minute."
"Dude, you're really something else. If Huang, the school beauty, heard what you said, she'd probably cry."
Hundreds of people placed bets with Mo Fan and his group, with the largest bet being that Jiang Han would defeat Huang Xingli in one minute. After all, excluding the time it took for Feng Mingyuan to summon the Undead Giant Lizard Pseudo-Dragon and the Undead Lizard Skull Giant and send them back, Jiang Han only had two minutes to defeat Feng Mingyuan.
Who would complain about having too much money? That's why many students bet their money on Jiang Han being able to defeat Huang Xingli in one minute. But they never expected this huge pitfall that would bury so many greedy and pitiful people.
Facing the enthusiastic fool—oops, I mean the student Mo Fan—who was offering money so readily, he shouted, "Old Zhao, hurry up and collect the money!!"
But the thought of Jiang Han taking away a large sum of money was quite painful. However, he had no choice but to pay a price for Jiang Han's cooperation in this opening. If Jiang Han didn't cooperate, he wouldn't earn any money at all.
