"No, it's fine!"
Seeing that Jiang Yunzhou wasn't rejecting her, the Front Desk Miss's eyes lit up. "Um, do you need treatment? I know a very powerful healing-type Spirit Master..."
Jiang Yunzhou quickly waved his hand: "I'm not the one who suffered losses. Do I look like I'm in trouble?"
He was indeed not seriously injured. He hadn't held back just now, and had even enjoyed the fight a bit.
The thought, 'A Titled Douluo is nothing special,' even popped into his mind.
However, knowing Tang Hao's character, he suspected this matter wouldn't be over so easily. That old schemer would definitely come looking for trouble again.
But what he didn't know was that if Jiang Yunzhou had used his Spirit Abilities, that would have been Tang Hao's true nightmare.
"I-is that so? That's good then..."
The Front Desk Miss patted her chest, her 'headlights' jiggling enticingly.
Jiang Yunzhou was momentarily lost in thought, which she noticed.
The Front Desk Miss subtly straightened her posture, further emphasizing her curves.
The infatuated expression returned to her face, and she asked with deep concern, "Then, do you want me to escort you back?"
This left Jiang Yunzhou unsure how to respond to such excessive enthusiasm.
"No need,"
He shook his head, "My two disciples are still in the Soul Arena. Sigh, with such a long delay, their matches might already be over, and my bets..."
Thinking about missing the best opportunity to bet and get rich, the anger in his heart flared up again.
"Damn it, that bastard Tang Hao, making me lose so much money..."
He cursed viciously in his heart, "Just you wait! Next time we meet, if you dare to come without money again, you can forget about your right leg!"
Tang Hao, who was already several streets away, inexplicably shivered, even feeling a phantom pain in his right leg.
His face was terribly grim. He never expected to run into such a tough opponent, who was both strong and utterly shameless!
It was a good thing he hadn't revealed his identity throughout. The other party probably didn't know Tang San was his son, otherwise, it would be bad if he went looking for trouble with Tang San.
Thoughts of revenge swirled in his mind, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
If he couldn't directly deal with the problem of Jiang Yunzhou, perhaps he would have to start with that disobedient little rabbit.
Keeping a 100,000-year Spirit Beast in captivity was not a difficult task for him.
Ultimately, at the strong insistence of the Front Desk Miss, Jiang Yunzhou was still 'helped' back to the Soul Arena by her.
Jiang Yunzhou certainly wouldn't object; this Miss had already secretly touched his abs nine times and his chest ten times.
He was very generous and considerate of the Miss's dignity, so he didn't expose her.
The Front Desk Miss was quite satisfied, and in return, she occasionally offered soft, warm embraces.
Actually, the Front Desk Miss hadn't finished her shift yet; she had just been too flustered to care about anything earlier.
Now she was back at the front desk, continuing her work.
Jiang Yunzhou said goodbye to her and turned into the competition area.
He thought: Tang Hao moving from the shadows to the open might not be a bad thing.
Being targeted directly is better than him hiding in the dark, figuring out how to deal with him.
As soon as he stepped into the noisy arena corridor, three figures rushed towards him, bringing with them a fragrant breeze.
It was Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu.
Before Ning Rongrong even arrived, her clear yet urgent voice reached him: "Teacher! Where did you run off to? Did you miss our match?"
Xiao Wu also pouted, her large eyes filled with grievance as she looked at Jiang Yunzhou accusingly.
Zhu Zhuqing had always been more meticulous and composed than the other two.
She noticed that Jiang Yunzhou's hair was a bit messy, and there was some dust and dirt on his collar and cuffs.
Also, there were a few tears.
This was clearly the hurried aftermath of a fight.
She immediately stepped forward, her tone filled with obvious concern: "Teacher, are you alright? Did something happen just now? Are you injured?"
These words made Jiang Yunzhou look at Zhu Zhuqing again.
This girl, her observational skills are truly meticulous. He had clearly tidied up, but he didn't expect her to still notice something amiss.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were also stunned by her words, instantly realizing that their Teacher hadn't left without reason, but had gone out to fight?
"Wuwuwu~ Teacher, I'm sorry!"
Ning Rongrong's thought process was always unique. She immediately became dramatic, rushing forward with a crying voice, wanting to offer a warm embrace.
"I didn't know what you went to do just now, and I even cursed you in my heart..."
Xiao Wu's small grievance about Jiang Yunzhou 'breaking his word' and not coming to see her match instantly vanished into thin air.
She also instinctively wanted to get closer, but realizing she didn't seem to have as 'legitimate' a reason as Ning Rongrong, she could only stand still, her eyes fixed on Jiang Yunzhou.
Jiang Yunzhou, caught between laughter and tears, tried to pull Ning Rongrong, who was clinging to him, off: "Stop, stop, stop! My clothes are dirty, don't get dust all over you. Are you all done? What were the results? You didn't embarrass me, did you?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, a girlish pride on her cool face: "We won."
Ning Rongrong immediately interjected, her chin held high: "Of course we won! Anyone who dared to try and get close to this Miss is now lying peacefully on the ground reflecting!"
Xiao Wu opened her mouth, wanting to say that she had also won and fought brilliantly, but unfortunately, the person she most wanted to see hadn't seen it.
In the end, she swallowed her words, her gaze only growing more resentful.
Jiang Yunzhou nodded in satisfaction; this result was within his expectations.
He then asked, "What about the duo team match? Did you play that too?"
"We played, we played!"
Ning Rongrong eagerly replied, gesticulating vividly as she spoke, "It was the same old tactic, I was responsible for the 'caw caw' (distraction), and Senior Sister Zhu Qing was responsible for the massacre! The opponents hadn't even figured out what was happening before they were down and out in one encounter! It was absolutely crushing!"
She thought she would receive great praise from her Teacher, but to her surprise, after Jiang Yunzhou listened, his face instantly showed an expression of extreme heartache.
"I lost so much! I lost so much! I didn't get to bet on you guys! A huge loss! My gold coins!"
The three girls were first taken aback, then looked at each other, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Upon closer thought, this reaction was indeed most consistent with their Teacher's true nature!
Jiang Yunzhou reached out and affectionately ruffled Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's hair: "Alright, you performed well. My efforts weren't in vain. Extra chicken drumsticks tomorrow!"
He didn't ignore Xiao Wu, who was looking on expectantly, and smiled as he said to her: "Xiao Wu, you also did great. Although we didn't earn much tonight, we still earned something. Let's go, I'll treat you all to a late-night snack! Oh, wait for me, I'll go cash in the bets I placed earlier first!"
With that, he turned and dashed off towards the betting station.
"Ah! Wait a minute!"
Xiao Wu suddenly remembered that she had also placed a bet, "I, I want to cash in too!"
She immediately chased after him like a joyful little rabbit, hopping and skipping.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a smile, both seeing the same helplessness and warmth in each other's eyes.
They felt that having such a Teacher brought not only a leap in strength but also endless joy.
"Come on, let's catch up too!"
