The terrifying thing was his other identity. If he really angered him, he might not leave Jin City alive.
However, he was also a strange one. If he cherished his wife so much, why would he put her out to play, causing misunderstanding!
"Let's continue watching the game." Qiao Tian tried to smooth things over, as the drug lord was his invited guest.
With his friend's intervention, Su Yan withdrew his hostile demeanor and lazily reclined on the chair, observing the performance of his wife, Mrs. Su.
The first round ended, and the host allowed the five contestants to choose weapons, offering only guns and knives. Qin Lu, Yang Minhan, and Qian Huaizi chose guns, which contained a tranquilizer bullet. Bai Xue and Piao Xiuzhen had to each choose a knife.
The second round, Beauty Flowers.
Aprisingly gentlame, yet alarming consequences with very simple rules.
Five different flowers were placed in front of each person. They had to choose three to consume, two of which were poisonous. After consumption, the body itches uncontrollably. The poisoned will scratch relentlessly until their skin is raw and open. Most importantly, the scars left by the poisonous flowers were incurable; hence, a wrong choice meant disfigurement.
The weapons they chose were of no use in this round.
This round was challenging with a low winning rate. However, for Bai Xue, it was easy. Under the banner of Bai Clan, there was a traditional medicine base. For the development of Bai Clan's cosmetics, Bai Xue had a deep understanding of all things botanical. She identified the poisonous flowers at a glance.
After this round, the assassins Qin Lu and Piao Xiuzhen were eliminated.
Yang Minhan was purely lucky, but for Qianben Huizi, Bai Xue's judgment was that she was cunning and not to be underestimated.
The weapons for this round were still guns and knives. Bai Xue was the first to make a safe choice. She immediately chose the only available gun.
The third round, Dog Race.
Each person had to carry a piece of bloody meat on their back and run, followed by a Tibetan Mastiff. The first to reach the finish line in safety was the winner.
This time, their weapons would be of use.
Although the round sounded scary, they all sighed in relief upon hearing it. They all had guns now. How fast can a Tibetan Mastiff run after being hit by a tranquillizer bullet?
Shooting the Tibetan Mastiff was easy for Yang Minhan and Qianben Huizi. They had excellent marksmanship, but Bai Xue lacked confidence.
While she mastered zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she didn't know anything about firing a gun.
So, in the absence of certainty, she couldn't afford to waste the tranquilizer bullet. But if she waited for too long, that'd be a disadvantage for her. The tranquilizer doesn't take effect immediately, and using it too late would result in her being bitten by the Mastiff.
Even after hitting their targets with one shot, Yang Minhan and Qianben Huizi still sprinted doggedly forward.
If they were struggling, Bai Xue was definitely giving all out. On a bend, she struck the Mastiff from the best angle. Luckily, even though the shot was off-target, it still hit the Mastiff. She exhaled in relief and continued to run.
With the finish line in sight, the Mastiff was getting closer and closer to her, with no sign of falling down.
Bai Xue panicked, gripping the knife tightly, ready to stab the Mastiff at any time.
Just as she stepped onto the finish line, the Mastiff charged at her. She turned around and stabbed at the coming creature. Blood splattered. Injured, the dog became even more ferocious and charged at her with wide-open jaws.
She was so scared that her face turned pale, unable to call out in fear.
At the crucial moment, the Mastiff suddenly collapsed.
The tranquilizer took effect!
Bai Xue let out a sigh of relief and collapsed as well.
