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

Compared to Liang Qing, whose face was deathly pale with fear, Lin Yan was in no better shape. His entire face was ashen, devoid of any color.

Fresh blood slowly trickled down the corner of his mouth, a shocking sight!

The energy within his body was in complete chaos, raging and colliding.

Just now, when he exerted all his strength to gather all his spiritual power into the sword's edge, the longsword successfully pierced through Liang Qing's powerful punch.

Although most of the demonic power has been destroyed.

However, a small amount of residual power still surged into his body like a venomous snake. At this moment, he had no extra spiritual power to protect himself and could only let the demonic power erode his body.

During the stalemate, he was already seriously injured.

Lin Yan raised his hand and casually wiped away the bright red blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth. Then he turned his gaze to the host outside the arena, who was still in shock and had not yet come to his senses.

His voice was cold and indifferent: "Aren't you going to announce it yet?"

The host was startled by the sudden cold shout, but quickly recovered.

He hurriedly reached out and pressed a button beside him. With a slight mechanical whirring sound, the protective glass surrounding the arena began to slowly descend until it disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the host strode onto the stage, stood in front of Lin Yan, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly, "I declare the winner of this match to be Lin Yan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in cheers, and thunderous applause suddenly rang out, rising and falling, echoing through the sky.

Many of them were excitedly and enthusiastically shouting Lin Yan's name, their cheers like surging waves, one higher than the next.

In the crowd, Tong Guang couldn't help but stand up and give Lin Yan the warmest applause and cheers. Her excitement was not only because Lin Yan had finally won, but also because she was moved by his tenacious spirit of never giving up in adversity.

It should be noted that Liang Qing's strength far surpassed his, and almost everyone believed that he would definitely avoid that fist shadow.

But at the crucial final moment, Lin Yan did not do what everyone expected...

He launched a desperate counterattack, and with extraordinary courage, fearlessly turning the tide of the battle. He shattered everyone's preconceived notions!

Perhaps this is the real reason why he was able to win so much cheers and applause...

Lin Yan silently sheathed his longsword, his face expressionless, like an iceberg. He didn't even turn his head to listen to the fervent shouts of his name from the audience, and strode away from the arena with firm steps.

It seemed as if all the glory and clamor happening before him had nothing to do with him.

-

After leaving the noisy and chaotic arena, a cool night breeze greeted him, but it did not dispel the gloom in Tong Guang's heart.

Like a deflated balloon, she walked dejectedly to a bench by the roadside. Then, she plopped down on the bench, kicking the small pebbles on the roadside in frustration with her toes.

She's just unlucky!

This luck is worse than dog shit.

Despite having a 50% chance of winning, she still made the wrong bet.

Waaaaah... Five million!

Where does she get the confidence to think she's so lucky...?

Jiang Chenyan, who had been silently watching her, couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. He knew perfectly well that the girl's frustration stemmed entirely from betting on the wrong lotteries.

He stepped forward, deliberately feigning a relaxed demeanor. "Wow, Lin Yan is really amazing! Everyone thought he had no chance of winning, but who would have thought he could turn the tide in the end?"

To Jiang Chenyan's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, the previously listless girl suddenly became like a frightened kitten.

She jumped up from the chair with a "whoosh"! Her pink eyes were full of suspicion as she stared intently at the man.

"What? Did you already know Lin Yan would win?"

He curled his fingers, coughed lightly to his lips, and his eyes flickered slightly. "Well... actually, at the very beginning, I did have a higher opinion of Lin Yan..."

Upon hearing this, Tong Guang's eyes widened instantly, and his cheeks puffed out slightly with anger, making him look like a cute but sullen little pufferfish.

She put her hands on her hips and said in a coquettish tone, "Why didn't you tell me sooner! I lost so much money for nothing..."

The girl's natural display of temper in front of him made Jiang Chenyan even happier.

He couldn't help but laugh helplessly, and explained in a low voice, "I hadn't even had a chance to say anything yet, and you had already placed your bet."

Tong Guang's face fell even more, filled with regret. It was all her fault; she knew absolutely nothing about these things, yet her hands moved faster than her brain.

I'm just stupid.

He's bad at games but loves to play...

Thinking about this made me feel increasingly depressed and irritable.

Jiang Chenyan sat down beside her and gently patted her shoulder, as if comforting a wronged kitten.

Her tone was exceptionally gentle: "Okay, don't be upset anymore. It's okay to lose this time, we'll have another chance. And I promise, next time I'll definitely win back everything we lost."

A deep tenderness welled up in his eyes as he gazed intently at the girl. "Then, I'll be with you, okay?"

Tong Guang muttered sullenly, "There won't be a next time. I'm already drowning in debt."

In debt?

Jiang Chenyan frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning behind her words for a moment. He really couldn't comprehend what Tong Guang's words meant.

He instinctively pressed further, "Whom do you owe money to? Is it a lot?"

The girl held her face in her small hands, making a buzzing sound.

"It's Si Hanye! I was so happy thinking that if I won the bet tonight, I could pay him back some of it. Now look what happened, I owe him even more... I'm just so unlucky!"

Jiang Chenyan was even more confused. Could it be that their relationship was just that of a creditor and a debtor?

He pursed his lips, his gaze fixed on the girl, not wanting to miss any expression on her face.

"So, what is your relationship with Si Hanye?"

Tong Guang looked indifferent and said casually, "I'm just his little maid."

For her, there was nothing to hide about this identity.

Of course, she couldn't very well say that Si Hanye was a mission target assigned to her by the system.

An unprecedented joy filled Jiang Chenyan's heart. He looked intently at the girl, his deep eyes burning with intense and passionate feelings.

It turns out their relationship was just that of master and servant; it wasn't what he thought.

Now... everything is different.
