Chapter 185: Chapter 185

"Yo, has our Sister Su managed to find another talented prospect for Ma Li?" Dong Feiyu lowered his cigarette and smiled at Su Meina, the voluptuous beauty clad in a deep red cheongsam, her fiery, voluminous long hair cascading around her.

He walked up with a laugh and casually draped an arm around Su Meina’s slender waist, instantly creating an atmosphere thick with intimacy.

"My darling, you’re right on time. Look, it’s her!" Su Meina glanced over at Hua Xiaomo, while one hand gently caressed the young man’s chest as she smiled alluringly.

The two were clinging to each other as though conjoined twins.

The young man was smiling, his delicate face exuding charm. But when Dong Feiyu set eyes on Hua Xiaomo, his gaze froze, and the seductive smile involuntarily stiffened on his face.

Isn’t she the woman from the restroom at "Paris Rainy Night," the one who saw him with Brother Lan? And wasn’t she the one who inadvertently set off a chain of events? How could he forget?

Hua Xiaomo also recognized the young man rather quickly, but her gaze flickered away mischievously, landing instead on the two towering security guards standing behind him. "Is it them?"

"Yep! And don’t say Sister Su didn’t warn you. If you get hurt, don’t cry about it! This... is the most embarrassing thing you could do as a Ma Li," Su Meina said with a tone that was neither here nor there.

Dong Feiyu looked at Su Meina with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. "Sister Su, are you saying this person is to be a Ma Li?" He couldn’t help the worry bubbling inside him. Brother Lan had shot and injured President Qi. Now, everyone from both legitimate circles and the underworld was searching for him... And since he had been involved with Brother Lan, and the woman before him had close ties with Qi Longbing, he feared...

"Yes, darling," Su Meina said with a smile, her eyes frequently glancing at Dong Feiyu, filled with suggestive intimacy.

"Let’s not use her, then," Dong Feiyu said decisively. His gaze no longer rested on Hua Xiaomo.

Hua Xiaomo, who had just pulled Wen Yajun to the side, hadn’t even had a chance to ask anything when she heard Dong Feiyu’s words to Su Meina.

Hua Xiaomo couldn’t help but smirk coldly. "Who do you think you are to decide for Sister Su? I, Hua Xiaomo, am going to be a Ma Li today, no matter what!"

A kept man, what right did he have to speak here?

Just as Dong Feiyu was about to respond, Su Meina gestured, her eyes falling on her own manicured nails. "What personality! I like it. If you can beat those two, I’ll let you be my ’Super Mario’!"

"Alright, you said it! I, Hua Xiaomo, accept! Now, you all back off a bit to avoid any accidents." Hua Xiaomo smiled, looking at the people around the private room.

"Xiao Mo, how could you agree to be a Ma Li? What on earth happened?" Wen Yajun asked with concern, gripping her arm.

What a joke, Hua Xiaomo becoming Super Mario? Good heavens! He couldn’t even fathom the thought. It meant going on stage to fight, engaging in relentless physical combat to entertain the wealthy. But why, why would she want to do this?

"I’ve made up my mind; I’m determined to be a Ma Li! Ya Jun, if you’re my friend, don’t stop me. I’ll explain to you later," Hua Xiaomo said, smiling at him. She also gently pulled her hand from his grasp.

"Xiao Mo, you... you can do it!" Ye Xiangxue also came over, offering words of encouragement.

"Hmm." Hua Xiaomo nodded, then beckoned to the two security guards with a finger. "Come here."

Soon, a fight broke out.

Utilizing her agility and swift movements, Hua Xiaomo dodged brilliantly and delivered sneak attacks with equal finesse. This was especially true given that she was still in her high heels, which, at this point, had become her most advantageous weapon.

In no time at all and with little effort, Hua Xiaomo had felled the two tall men.

A round of applause erupted from the onlookers.

Su Meina’s eyes lit up. "What skill! Such impressive skill!"

Unfortunately, Hua Xiaomo’s pair of designer high heels had once again been sacrificed.

Hua Xiaomo turned to her with a smile. "Sister Su, when can I officially enter the ring?"

"I’ll arrange it right away. You might even get your wish tonight!" Su Meina’s smile sweetened. Finding a girl who can fight isn’t hard, but finding one who can fight beautifully is as difficult as reaching the heavens! Who would have thought this girl had such skills! Just watching her elegant kicks and punches was impressive. Like, a hundred times over!

At this moment, Hua Xiaomo had completely won Su Meina over, but the young man by her side, Dong Feiyu, had a chilly look in his eyes.

"Wait a second," Dong Feiyu suddenly interjected, pulling Su Meina aside. She was giddy with excitement, so he reminded her, "Sister Su, this woman is one of Qi Longbing’s. Are you really daring to use her?"

"..." Su Meina hesitated for a moment, but letting such a rare talent slip away wasn’t in her nature.

Su Meina walked up to Hua Xiaomo and asked again with a smile, "Miss Hua, your skills are indeed impressive, but Sister Su still wants to be sure. Are you certain you have no connection to President Qi?"

With a humorless smile, Hua Xiaomo replied, "If I had a connection... why would I come here to make money, right, Sister Su?"

"Hehe, that’s right," Su Meina laughed heartily, turning to the Bunny Girl. "Ye Xiangxue, you’ve probably explained the rules here to Miss Hua, so I won’t repeat them. Just one key point: if you want to earn more money, you need to last longer in the ring—the longer you hold out, the more money you make!"

"The starting price is one hundred thousand. For every match you endure, the prize money increases by another one hundred thousand, and so on. There’s no ceiling. Currently, the best record among Ma Lis here is that of the world championship runner-up. She lasted for ten rounds, and her final match reached a prize of one million. In less than twenty days, she made tens of millions. But, unfortunately, she suffered severe internal injuries and tragically died a month later."

"So, don’t mind Sister Su nagging you one more time: even the strongest people must know their limits. That’s the only way to make money for the long haul. Otherwise, you might have the money but not the life to enjoy it," Su Meina chuckled and put her hand on Hua Xiaomo’s shoulder.

So it was a sort of endurance challenge with escalating rewards... Excellent. She had never tried it before, but it seemed thrilling and challenging, strangely stirring her blood to a pulsating rush.

"Thank you for the warning, Sister Su. I understand," Hua Xiaomo said, still smiling.

"Hmm, indeed a sensible girl. Ye Xiangxue, take good care of Miss Hua." After saying this, Su Meina glanced at Hua Xiaomo’s broken high heels and added, "Take Miss Hua to my storeroom to pick out a pair of sleek, beautiful high heels. Consider them compensation for Miss Hua."

"Wait here for a moment. I’ll go make the arrangements for you," Su Meina smiled at Hua Xiaomo. To Su Meina, this girl had now become a potential gold mine. She cast a sidelong glance at Dong Feiyu. "Darling, let’s go!" Dıscover more novels at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
