As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Because, in its eyes, it is not a two-legged beast, but a living lion!

In its eyes, Charlotte's smiling expression was just like a lioness bathed in fire, opening her bloody mouth and revealing her sharp white fangs, just short of taking a fierce bite with scalding saliva.

Warcraft is much more sensitive to supernatural powers than humans. After just one encounter, the spotted leopard recognized its position, squeezed its mouth into a w=w shape, and dared not move, allowing Charlotte to rub its head back and forth.

He even cooperated by making a weird "meow".

"???"

Such an incredible scene made the boss even think that he bought a fake leopard.

Roy was no longer surprised.

Not only because he knew Charlotte's strength, but also because he had already arranged every detail for today's birthday rendezvous. A magical mount that Charlotte liked and was willing to submit to her was naturally part of his plan.

Not only that, he has also prepared Charlotte as a companion for this cross-country race, and his main goal is to accompany her to the end.

Roy looked back secretly and saw that several seemingly familiar faces had already chosen their mounts and were taking their positions.

If we really let these customers who have never ridden a Warcraft become our opponents, how can they possibly have fun with Charlotte?

So Roy had already arranged for members of the Lionheart faction to disguise themselves and sneak in to add some excitement to this cross-country race.

Out of loyalty to Charlotte, no one refused, and some were even eager to celebrate her birthday.

As a result, the gold coins Roy had prepared in advance to persuade them were useless, so he exchanged them for the ruby ​​bracelet.

The accompanying actors were indeed in place, and Roy approached Charlotte: "Are you ready?"

"certainly......."

Just then, there was a commotion in the distance, and a discordant noise was mixed into the enthusiastic atmosphere.

"Why aren't you allowing us to participate in the competition? Aren't you afraid?! Are the Lionheart Knights just a bunch of sick cats?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the children of the kingdom who were responsible for operating the Warcraft sales were immediately outraged.

Charlotte's expression also became gloomy for the first time today.

Chapter 24: Fists Falling from the Sky

Roy lowered his voice and asked, "Who is that guy?"

Facing the second-in-command of his own faction, the boss couldn't help but start complaining: "Alas, that's Anbo Anka, the son of the Marquis of the South Sea Kingdom, and considered a high-ranking figure in the South Sea faction. He's been constantly picking on us lately, and it's ruining our business."

Since the Battle of White Harbor, Jason and Charlotte have signed various cooperation treaties, ostensibly for factions, but actually for future cooperation between the two countries.

But the will of the Prince of the South China Sea does not represent all the people of the South China Sea. Obviously, An Bo is the kind of guy who is unwilling to give up his immediate interests.

"Is there no one in charge of our faction?"

The boss chuckled, "Actually, Miss Qiao recently broke into the South Sea faction's stronghold and reclaimed the money she was owed. She was quite impressive."

"Perhaps that's why Young Master Anbo came to my place to cause trouble, hoping to vent his anger."

"Don't worry, we have someone guarding here. He can't do anything except yell. I'll go deal with it right away. You two just have to relax and compete."

"Wait." Charlotte turned around and stopped her boss who was about to go forward.

"He came to our Lionheart faction's territory to cause trouble, and still expects to be safe? I want to meet him."

"Ah this?"

Roy smiled secretly when he heard this.

It would be fine if no one saw it, but since someone was provoking her right in front of her, with Charlotte's bad temper, how could she possibly tolerate it?

Plans cannot keep up with changes. No matter how much you plan, someone still comes to disturb the tryst - this is what Roy originally thought, but when he saw Charlotte excitedly clenching her fists, he felt that this was actually a good thing.

What you arrange yourself is called a script, but the real fun is when someone really comes to fight you!

"Sir, we don't allow personal mounts to participate in our cross-country races. This is unfair to other contestants..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I think you are just scared!"

Young Master Anbo, who was thin, with dark skin, dressed in gorgeous yet casual clothes, with his coat wide open, was stroking the huge water python behind him, smiling wildly, not hiding his contempt.

"What's wrong? Is it possible that a kingdom rich in magical beast mounts doesn't even have a mount comparable to my Sea Crystal Python? Or are you simply too scared to even try with me?!"

A shop selling magical beasts naturally wouldn't use too many ferocious beasts, and the fierce spotted leopard was the only one of its signature items.

The other customers didn't think much about it and were confused by Anbo's words. When they thought that the Lionheart faction's Warcraft mounts were just so-so, their interest dropped greatly.

Several members of the Lionheart faction were so angry that they gritted their teeth and were ready to take action. Some even turned back to the city to catch the griffin. However, even with the speed of the griffin, the griffin would have already destroyed the business and escaped.

But at this moment, a cold shout was heard.

"Enough of the stupid talk."

"Since you want to play, I'll play with you."

The red-haired princess stepped forward, as dazzling as a beautiful flame, causing all the members of the Lionheart faction to cheer secretly.

An Bo was stunned at first.

The boy with black hair and black eyes, and the girl with red hair and red eyes, their features were too similar to remind him of two familiar bigwigs, and his arrogance could not help but stagnate.

Everyone in the aristocratic circle knew the reputation of the Saint Guard and the Lionheart Princess. Especially since Jason was willing to cooperate with them, it would be fine if he just did some minor things, but if he really offended these two big men, he would be in big trouble.

But after seeing the two people's appearance clearly, An Bo smiled again with his big white teeth: "Miss, may I ask who you are..."

"Someone who wants to defeat you."

Charlotte was unceremonious, crossing her arms and speaking frivolously, "Aren't you here to challenge me? Come on, I'm always here to accompany you."

Young Master Nanhai's eyes were drawn to the fiery red hair and bright red dress for a while before he quietly acted like a gentleman: "I don't want to hurt the beautiful lady."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the other party revealed an expression of extreme contempt: "He's a weakling who loves to yell, but he's too scared to actually fight. He doesn't even dare to accept a girl's challenge. Are all the men in the South China Sea like this?"

There were a few chuckles around.

An Bo's expression changed slightly, and then he sneered, "Okay, okay, if that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."

Therefore, in the next round of the two-person cross-country race, Anbo and his sea crystal water python were added as an exception.

There are twelve groups of athletes in a two-person cross-country race, which lasts for a total of twenty-four days.

Anbo and his deputy waiter rode on the water python.

The python, with its crystal blue surface and gigantic body, made the surrounding monsters look much smaller, and even the fierce spotted leopard was a bit of an obstacle to it.

The Sea Crystal Python is a kind of magical beast that only lives in the South China Sea. This amphibious magical beast can not only swim quickly in the sea, but also move at an astonishing speed on the road. I think that is the capital of Anbo's arrogance.

The boss standing by was so panicked that he was sweating profusely. He was more afraid that something might happen to the two big men in his territory than the off-road race.

But Roy smiled calmly, as if he had already guessed the ending.

Charlotte smiled and uttered a terrifying threat: "Little Leopard, you better try your best later. If you lose, I'll roast you."

"?!"

Although the leopard cannot understand human language, looking at its pale face, it must have felt the threat from Charlotte.

All contestants are in position and mount their mounts.

The Young Master of the South Sea, who was atop the giant python, looked down at the man and sneered arrogantly, "Please be careful to avoid getting hurt, my lovely lady~"

Roy didn't say anything, but just silently hugged Charlotte's slender waist.

Brother, you are the one who needs to be careful.

You don't understand what you're dealing with...

The referee blew the whistle and all the monsters rushed forward.

The Sea Crystal Python took the lead with its explosive power far exceeding that of other magical beasts, leaving the other magical beasts far behind.

Not only that, whenever other players tried to overtake from behind, the domineering snake tail would sweep across and knock them and their mounts to the ground.

Many of the onlookers were frightened and their faces turned pale. They had never seen such a violent off-road vehicle.

Only the Lionheart faction's accompanying actors could get hit by the tail, then calmly brush off the dirt, pick up the monster and continue.

"What? Isn't this easy?"

An Bo couldn't help laughing as he rode straight through the woods.

"The so-called martial lion-hearted man is nothing more than this!"

His waiter also smiled and patted the horse: "Yes, and besides, how can a weak little girl be a match for the young master?"

Recalling that dazzling crimson figure, An Bo lingered for a moment: "It's a pity that we didn't make any bets just now, otherwise, I would like to appreciate the beauty of the Lionhearted Little Beauty..."

Just as An Bo was feeling regretful, he caught a glimpse of something strange out of the corner of his eye.

A streak of fiery red light came straight towards us, like a comet piercing through the atmosphere.

During this time, I could vaguely hear the screams unique to some cat-like creatures.

Realizing that someone was overtaking him, An Bo used the same trick again and ordered the giant python to sweep away and intercept.

But he never expected that the person who came would grab the leopard's neck, forcing the monster to howl and leap, flying directly into the sky with a power beyond that of a Sequence 7 monster.

“What the hell…?!”

Anbo finally saw clearly.

The people who came were the little girl whom he had laughed at before, and a black-haired boy who was hugging the little girl tightly with his eyes closed.

But this time there was no greed in Anbo's eyes, only fear.

The small fist was wrapped in a huge fireball, and with great power, it fell down, and in Anbo's eyes it became bigger and bigger.

With a deafening roar and a dark mushroom cloud, the two-man cross-country race came to an end.

Chapter 25: So you like cat girls too?

Amid the cheers of vendors, customers, and the Lionhearted people, Charlotte successfully won the championship. She held her head high and proudly accepted everyone's praise.

Her two partners, however, huddled in a corner.

One of them had four legs as soft as mud, his hair was burnt black, and he was still in shock with his tongue hanging out.

The other one covered his mouth with a pale face, leaning on the former, and was unable to stand up for a long time.

Being ridden all the way by a lioness, being slapped and burned by her fiery claws, and being dragged and yanked, it goes without saying that Roy also suffered a lot, as he stimulated the potential of the spotted leopard far beyond his usual level.

Don’t be fooled by Charlotte riding a griffin gracefully on a date, but when it comes to off-road driving, she is as crazy as the violent female driver in Roy’s previous life!

Although Roy's own speed was not slow, riding on someone and watching the surrounding scenery flying up and down and bumping uncontrollably made Roy experience the soreness of motion sickness for the first time in a long time.

Damn it, I shouldn't have asked them to arrange a doubles match, ugh...

However, the real unlucky person is someone else.

After finally recovering, Roy glanced to the other side with a gloating look.

Master Anbo, his attendants, and the sea crystal python were all roasted into pitch-black charcoal and transported back by the South China Sea faction with a mournful look on their faces.

"Here, remember this, you damned lion-hearted barbarian, don't think you can get away with doing this to me..."

"If you're not good, practice more. If you can't afford to lose, don't play. If you can't even beat a girl, the men in the South China Sea are only at this level."

Charlotte used the verbal combat skills she had developed with Nia and others to successfully leave Anbo speechless, causing laughter at the scene.

The leopard's impressive performance also proved the quality of the Lionheart Beast, attracting a rush to buy it. However, due to Charlotte's terrifying flaming fist, no one dared to participate in the two-person cross-country race, further deepening the stereotype of the Lionheart Kingdom.

When Charlotte was about to leave the crowd and return home happily, she suddenly became shy and showed a rare uneasiness.

"Um, am I a little too...barbaric?"

Roy recalled Anbo's curse and said with a smile, "Why should we care about the barking of a loser dog?"

"But, when I think about it, this is indeed not very ladylike."

Only after this game was over did Charlotte begin to reflect.

Even in the Lionheart Kingdom's most orthodox cross-country race, where runners are encouraged to collide with each other, you can't just swing your fist at others, right?!

Although that guy really deserves a beating.

"It doesn't matter what kind of lady you are. I like you, not those well-mannered ladies."

"Roy..."
