Soft, warm, and fragrant; easily pushed over; the obsessive demon king becomes addicted to pampering

The two walked out of the registration desk. As soon as Tong Guang stepped out the door, his eyes were immediately drawn to the bustling hall in front of him.

She opened her eyes wide and looked around with a face full of curiosity.

"Jiang Chenyan, what are they doing over there? Why are so many people gathered there?" Tong Guang tugged at the man's sleeve.

"They're placing bets."

"Betting? What's that?" Hearing this unfamiliar term, her curiosity was immediately reignited, and she asked like a child.

Jiang Chenyan smiled patiently. "This is actually a special rule of the arena. When the two sides are dueling, the audience can choose to bet on the side they prefer based on their own judgment and preferences."

"Moreover, there are no limits on the amount you can bet! If you bet correctly, you can reap a huge reward; but if you bet incorrectly, you will suffer a painful loss."

"Therefore, some people can become rich overnight thanks to luck and foresight; while others may lose everything or even go bankrupt in an instant because of a wrong choice!"

"So that's how it is..." Tong Guang nodded as if he understood, but his eyes remained fixed on the crowd.

“Look at that giant poster over there,” Jiang Chenyan said, raising his hand and pointing in a direction.

Tong Guang looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a huge poster hanging high above, with two figures printed on it—or rather, a human and a demon.

“I saw it, but what does this have to do with the betting we were talking about earlier?” Tong Guang frowned in confusion.

He gently adjusted his glasses with his long fingers. "The biggest highlight of tonight's gladiatorial combat is these two. That elephant demon is no ordinary character; it's a veteran of this arena, possessing formidable strength. That cultivator, on the other hand, is a rising star who has recently made a name for himself, reportedly winning several matches in a row! His strength is equally formidable..."

"Moreover, this was their first duel, so it attracted a lot of attention, and naturally, more people placed bets!"

Tong Guang nodded thoughtfully, his pink eyes instantly sparkling.

Her small hands played with her soft, long hair as she secretly pondered that if she also participated in the betting, and if she were lucky enough to win, wouldn't she be able to return all the money she had spent to Si Hanye?

Moreover, it seems that the odds are evenly split between the two sides, making it a worthwhile gamble!

Thinking this to himself with delight, he immediately beamed with joy. "Hehe... I want to place a bet too."

Jiang Chenyan, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment. Before he could analyze the situation with her, Tong Guang had already squeezed into the crowded crowd.

At this moment, more and more people and demons came to place bets in the hall, creating a lively and extraordinary scene.

Tong Guang was new to this kind of activity and knew absolutely nothing about the intricacies involved.

However, she was also clever, thinking that since she had no experience, it wouldn't be wrong to follow the majority's choice, right?

So, without hesitation, she followed suit and bought the side with the more people.

After finally squeezing out of the crowded throng, Tong Guang let out a long sigh of relief and patted his chest lightly.

"Have you bought it? Which one?"

Jiang Chenyan walked forward with light, slow steps, leaned slightly closer to the girl, and spoke in a voice as gentle as a spring breeze.

Tong Guang waved the receipt in his hand excitedly, his smile bright and charming! "I bet on Xiang Yao, a lot of people are betting on him, I think he will definitely win this game."

She winked playfully at the man, looking confident and certain of victory.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenyan raised an eyebrow. In fact, he was more optimistic about another cultivator in this competition.

However, seeing the delighted girl, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. After all, if he were to express his different opinion now, wouldn't that severely damage her confidence?

Besides, who knows if we'll be wrong? Maybe in the end, this elephant demon will really win.

Tong Guang suddenly remembered something and patted his head. "Oh no! Shouldn't we stay and watch the game? But we haven't bought tickets yet!"

"So many people are betting on them, we can't let the tickets sell out!" She turned around in a hurry and ran towards the ticket office not far away.

Before she could take more than a few steps, a warm, large hand tightly grasped her slender wrist.

Tong Guang turned around and met the man's nonchalant expression, and immediately said anxiously, "Why did you pull me? The tickets will be gone soon..."

Jiang Chenyan wore a slightly helpless yet indulgent smile. "Don't worry, don't worry... I've already bought the tickets!"

As he spoke, he took out two exquisite admission tickets from his coat pocket and waved them in front of the girl.

The venue closed ticket checks five minutes before the match, and because the two had bought their tickets late, the VIP room with the best view was already sold out.

The two bought seats in the audience area, which had a pretty good view and allowed them to see the entire ring.

The arena covers a vast area, with a diameter of at least thirty meters, providing ample space for the participants to showcase their skills.

This competition attracted a lot of attention, and the venue was packed!

This was the first time Tong Guang had ever watched such a competition, and she was filled with excitement and curiosity, looking around excitedly.

Then you can see a transparent glass wall slowly rising in front of the first row of seats.

She was slightly taken aback. Could such a seemingly ordinary glass wall really protect the safety of everyone present?

She lightly tugged at the sleeve of the man beside her. Noticing the girl's action, Jiang Chenyan immediately turned to the side and moved closer to her.

Tong Guang quickly leaned close to his ear and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything special about that glass wall? Can it really withstand the aftershocks of the contestants' attacks?"

Up close, the girl's breath was as fragrant as orchids, her soft and sweet scent lingering in his ear, inexplicably stirring up a pool of spring water, creating ripples...

Jiang Chenyan's breath hitched slightly, and behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his usually calm eyes darkened further...

Seeing that he seemed a little lost in thought, Tong Guang gently nudged his shoulder.

Coming to his senses, Jiang Chenyan realized his lapse in composure. He raised his hand and casually pushed up his glasses.

However, only he himself knew the awkwardness hidden behind this simple action.

He mimicked Tong Guang's earlier actions, slowly leaning close to the girl's ear. His voice was deep and slightly hoarse, as if suppressing some intense emotion.

"This glass wall is no ordinary object; it was specially made for the arena. Moreover, a powerful magic array has been set up on its surface, capable of withstanding most of the most powerful attacks."

"With this defensive line, we can be very safe watching the game from here."
