Chapter 1493: Chapter 1493

"Century Boxing Match?"

Tang Ming glanced over, puzzled, and looked at Su Xiaoxi, "Is there a boxing match today?"

"It seems like underground boxing."

Su Xiaoxi furrowed her brow and said uncertainly, "The Imperial City’s aristocratic circle knows how to enjoy themselves. They organize a lot of illegal activities to enjoy the thrill and excitement, such as underground boxing, street racing, extreme sports, and... things that ordinary people can’t experience."

"I see, then we definitely have to watch it."

Li Xiaoli got more excited as she listened.

"Alright, let’s go take a look then."

Seeing Li Xiaoli so interested, Tang Ming didn’t want to disappoint her.

"Follow me, but let me warn you first, the entrance fee is high, but you can place bets. If you’ve got a keen eye, you could win it all back with one bet."

The young man squinted his eyes and enthusiastically introduced, "Today is the second season’s final of the century boxing match, where the Rookie King challenges the One Hundred Wins, absolutely thrilling and exciting."

"You talk too much. Obviously, we’re not short on cash, we wouldn’t mind a few tickets."

Chen Cang urged impatiently.

"Alright, alright, let me arrange it for you."

The young man nodded repeatedly, then led Tang Ming and the others into a dimly lit building behind the mall, and down the stairs to the basement.

After a few layers of inquiries and guards, Tang Ming and the others entered an underground fight club, which was converted from a two-floor underground parking lot. The audience seats were already packed with people, each holding betting slips and roaring.

"Wow, just the atmosphere feels exciting!"

Li Xiaoli was elated at the scene.

"It looks so chaotic, could it be dangerous?"

Liu Mengting worriedly grabbed Tang Ming’s other arm.

"Don’t worry, underground boxing is something the aristocrats enjoy, so safety is well guaranteed. As long as you don’t cause trouble, there generally won’t be any issues."

Su Xiaoxi explained with a smile. She had watched underground boxing before and found it too bloody, so she was somewhat resistant to it.

But today with Tang Ming accompanying her, any resistance didn’t matter, it was all filled with happiness and sweetness.

The group quickly found their seats and waited for the match to start.

In the center of the audience stands was a stage ring, and above the ring were multiple screens playing past match videos, which were quite bloody and brutal.

Ten minutes later, the video ended and switched to the names of two boxers in a match-up, with the odds for winning and losing below. The odds for Rookie King versus One Hundred Wins were 1 to 5, indicating a high win rate for One Hundred Wins.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s match is the nine-fight winning Rookie King challenging the hundred-win One Hundred Wins, also the ultimate battle of this season. For those who haven’t placed bets yet, hurry up and place them."

The host’s voice echoed throughout the venue.

"I want to bet, I want to bet!"

Li Xiaoli excitedly called out and then saw a tablet dedicated to betting on the chair’s armrest, with information about Rookie King and One Hundred Wins.

"Dear, would you like to place a bet for fun?"

Su Xiaoxi picked up the tablet and asked Tang Ming.

"I’m not interested. In such level of boxing match, there are no real experts."

Tang Ming yawned, too lazy to take another look, leaned close to Su Xiaoxi’s ear, and whispered, "I miss you."

"Naughty, there are so many people here."

Su Xiaoxi instantly blushed, nervously glancing at the busy-betting Liu Mengting and the others: "I miss you too, what do you want?"

"I want you to bite me."

Tang Ming glanced at Liu Mengting and the rest, muttering quietly.

"You... you’re really bad."

Su Xiaoxi was instantly embarrassed. She and Tang Ming had an agreement to split the word ’bite’, so she immediately understood what Tang Ming meant.

"Ahem, desire is like the floodwaters breaking the dike, once opened, it’s always on your mind. That’s why I insist on not losing my virginity."

Tang Ming held Su Xiaoxi in his arms, "Otherwise, thinking about that sort of thing every day, plus I’m not short of women, how would I have the mind for cultivation?"

"Hmph, do you currently have the mindset for cultivation?"

Su Xiaoxi gave Tang Ming a sideways glance, whispering, "Did Xiaoli or Mengting bite you?"

"No, we’re together every day. If we open this door, how could that be manageable in the future?"

Tang Ming hurriedly shook his head.

"Rascal, only bullying me." Su Xiaoxi playfully glared at Tang Ming, yet there was an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, at least no one else had such a close relationship with Tang Ming.

Su Xiaoxi didn’t know that besides her, Gao Ya had also been ’something’ by Tang Ming, which seemed to make Tang Ming feel even more accomplished.

"Hehe, I’m a poor soul doomed to be bullied, how dare I bully you, the number one young lady of the Imperial City."

Tang Ming sighed with a bitter face.

Su Xiaoxi pouted, leaning her body against Tang Ming’s, stealthily reaching her hand into Tang Ming’s pants to explore.

Tang Ming immediately sat up straight, cautiously scanning the surroundings. Could it be Su Xiaoxi was going to ’do that’ here?

"Hey, don’t treat us like air, it’s too much."

At this moment, Liu Mengting suddenly turned her head, unhappy and protesting.

Su Xiaoxi immediately withdrew her hand, pretending as if nothing had happened.

"We were discussing betting."

Tang Ming smiled awkwardly, feeling a sense of frustration inside; Liu Mengting was definitely his nemesis.

"Oh come on, don’t be that way, Mengmeng sister. After all, Xiaoxi sister is also Tang Ming’s fiancée, you’re equals."

Li Xiaoli laughed and comforted with a word.

"I didn’t say anything, did I?"

Liu Mengting pouted. Since Tang Ming got injured last time, Su Xiaoxi had been staying with Tang Ming day and night, she and Li Xiaoli were already aware of Su Xiaoxi’s presence, and there was no way to stop it since she was officially recognized alongside Tang Ming.

"You sound so petty, and say it’s nothing, huh?"

Li Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Liu Mengting, "If you’re jealous, just be jealous. I can understand, actually, I’m jealous too."

"Hmph, I’m not jealous."

Liu Mengting let out a cold snort, glanced at Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi, then lowered her head and started examining the tablet.

At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly exclaimed.

Tang Ming looked at Chen Cang, not amused. Everyone kept startling him; were they trying to scare him to death?

"Ming, look at this. Does the photo of this Rookie King look familiar?"

Chen Cang pointed at his tablet, exclaiming in surprise.

Tang Ming became curious.

Su Xiaoxi quickly brought the tablet to Tang Ming and opened the Rookie King’s profile.

"No way, isn’t this my roommate Hua Yingjie?"

After a couple of glances, Tang Ming couldn’t help but shout in surprise.

"Hua Yingjie? The studious nerd who looks weak and sluggish?"

Liu Mengting became suspicious, carefully taking a look, and it was indeed Hua Yingjie’s photo.
