Rebirth of the Film Emperor's Beloved Wife

Corey’s Challenge (2)

“Sister Yanyi, Brother-in-law, you guys are so interesting. Since we’re here to watch fights, how about it? We have specially prepared beasts, do you want to observe them?” Corey had very naturally sat down beside Su Yanyi and then started talking as if they were discussing about dinner to discuss the fights.

As the host, Corey had prepared a lot of people who could compete and this included the various wild animals collected from the underground world. This was to increase viewing pleasure and also how the name ‘Fighting Beasts Stage’ came to be.

“You?” Su Yanyi asked rather rudely. To her, Corey was like a big, noisy monkey.

Corey staggered then reacted to Su Yanyi calling him a beast but he wasn’t angry. He looked at Qin Jiran and said: “If Brother-in-law is interested in duelling with me, I don’t mind performing for you to see.”

He had always thought of testing out Qin Jiran’s abilities. His information had stated that Qin Jiran also could fight but it didn’t detail to what extent and whether or not he was deserving of his Sister Yanyi.

Qin Jiran heard this and his face went cold. He was about to say something when he heard Su Yanyi say coldly: “I’m now interested in fighting you, want to try?” Wanting to hit her man? Dream on!

Su Yanyi’s protective side rarely made an appearance because the ones she thought were deserving of it were rare. Besides, those people basically didn’t need her protection but Qin Jiran was different. In Su Yanyi’s mind, this man needed her protection, not because he was weak, but because this man had followed her into this different world so she had the responsibility of protecting him!

“Sister Yanyi, you don’t have to so protective of him. That’s your man not your child, it’s just one bout. Do you not want to see who’s stronger between us?” Corey looked challengingly at Qin Jiran but said this to Su Yanyi. In his knowledge, men naturally wanted to demonstrate their strength to protect their women. Of course, a woman like Su Yanyi more or less didn’t need someone else’s protection but as a man, demonstrating one’s strength in from of his woman was a must. How could Su Yanyi reject him like that?

Was it that women didn’t like watching men fight on their behalf? His girlfriends in the past had all liked watching him do stupid things for them. Of course, he had never satisfied those shallow women. Who asked those women to not be as outstanding as Yanyi.

Corey admired Su Yanyi a lot. When they were young, he had considered pursuing her and had even practiced pursuing her but there was once he had seen Su Yanyi beat a bunch of people to a pulp. He had felt that such a strong woman should be handed to another guy to chase. He just couldn’t handle having a woman stronger than himself as a wife. Of course, being his younger sister was still okay.

And right now, another man had appeared and had even become Su Yanyi’s husband. This had more or less gave him different feelings and he really wanted to see just where this man was different. He all the more wanted to duel with Qin Jiran!

“Naturally, he’s stronger but why does he need to be compared to you?” Su Yanyi didn’t even hesitate and said this in a straightforward manner. The look she gave Corey was full of doubt, as if she was saying, what do you count as, why does he need to compare to you?

Corey couldn’t take Su Yanyi’s words lying down. Was this woman belittling him? He couldn’t win against her, but could he not even beat her man?

“What basis do you have to say I’m not as strong as him?” Corey asked back unconvinced.

“On the basis that he’s stronger than you.” Su Yanyi replied with 10/10 affirmation and confidence.

Seeing this, Qin Jiran had at first wanted to rashly fight but now he had a warm smile. Yanyi had so much confidence in him, this feeling was really nice.

“It doesn’t count if we haven’t fought before. I don’t believe he’s stronger than me. Hey, Brother-in-law, it’s not that you don’t dare to fight right. Hiding behind a woman’s back isn’t a good habit, it’s very embarrassing!” Corey was very frustrated. He felt that Su Yanyi wasn’t being reasonable and was biased, it was very hurtful. However, he felt that he really couldn’t win over Su Yanyi so he turned directly to Qin Jiran.

“That’s enough, let’s watch the match first.” Qin Jiran wanted to say something but was interrupted by Su Yanyi again. Su Yanyi pulled on his hand and her gaze went to the stage. The time for preparation was up and the match between Violent Rabbit and Black Tiger had begun.

“Ah, match?” Corey had only then looked towards the stage and then as he looked on, he felt that the woman was very familiar. Wasn’t she one of Su Yanyi’s bodyguards? He didn’t expect her to be fighting on stage.

“How much did you bet?” Corey asked with a lot of interest. In reality, the bets here didn’t have any relation to him. The winnings and losings were calculated based on the ratio of their respective bets. Even if someone won $1,000,000, it came from the books. His only responsibility was the venue. Of course, he would also pick a few strong contestants to compete. This would allow him to make money and provide entertainment.

Su Yanyi looked towards Kangaroo. All her and Qin Jiran’s expenses her would be paid for by the Old Man and Kangaroo, as the one who was in charge of logistics, was also entrusted the finances to by her.

“Elder Miss said to bet as I wish so I bet $1,000,000.” The currency used on the liner was in USD. The bets placed by the audience were all between USD$100,000 to USD$2,000,000. After all, there were a lot of matches. Betting too little was not fun while betting too much could be too much for people to handle.

Actually, the gains of the bets here weren’t large. Sometimes betting $1,000,000 would only gain you a few grand but the rich people who came here to play didn’t necessarily play to win money. It was mostly just for entertainment.

“Your bodyguard’s skills aren’t bad. Hehe, Brother-in-law, why don’t we bet on a round too, $10,000,000 for good luck?” Corey always kept the match with Qin Jiran in mind.

When Corey spoke, he secretly observed Su Yanyi, scared that Su Yanyi would stop them. If she was serious, he really wouldn’t be able to convince her.

However, this time, Su Yanyi didn’t say anything and just stared at him coldly.

Qin Jiran narrowed his eyes slightly which had a sliver of coldness. He said in a cold voice: “Done!” Qin Jiran didn’t waste words and agreed directly with a single word!

It was just a match. He had been training from a young age and before coming here he also didn’t train for show!

To Qin Jiran, even if he lost in skills, he couldn’t lose in his aura. Even though he didn’t know how good Corey’s skills were, he didn’t have the intention of looking down on Corey. Besides, he had confidence in his own skills. If it wasn’t for Yanyi putting a stop to it, he would have agreed way early on. As a man receiving a challenge from another man, he couldn’t refuse!

Corey’s eyes lit up and was very excited. He then looked impatient at Su Yanyi and asked: “Sister Yanyi, you saw yourself. Brother-in-law agreed himself. You won’t continue stopping us right. Hahaha, Sister Yanyi, you should know that this is a gentleman’s agreement. Women shouldn’t interfere, okay.”

Corey still had some ideas of what a man should be and had even used these words to provoke Su Yanyi. Qin Jiran frowned slightly, obviously not liking this man’s words. To him, he didn’t feel like there was any matter of his that Su Yanyi couldn’t interfere with!

However at this moment, Qin Jiran didn’t say anything either, he just looked questioningly at Yanyi, as if asking for her permission. Qin Jiran’s instincts told him that Yanyi’s silence before he agreed was already to let him make his own decision, that’s why he had agreed.

Su Yanyi saw that both men were waiting for her reply. After giving Corey a glance, she said to Qin Jiran: “Don’t hold back.”

Corey was then not happy. Was it really suitable to say something like that in front of him?

“Sister Yanyi, we’ve been friends for so many years. You’re being so discourteous, is it really okay?” Corey put on a pitiful look and asked.

“Prepare the $10,000,000. Don’t default on payment after you’ve lost.” Su Yanyi didn’t buy Corey’s play. If forced, she could count their relationship as normal friends. Besides, Corey had multiple personalities and was always calling her ‘younger sister’. If it wasn’t because she was too lazy to move and because she didn’t really have an opportunity to, she would have beat him up long ago. Now with Qin Jiran here, why would she still be courteous!

“We still don’t know who will lose! The one who defaults on payment is a small dog!” Corey felt that Su Yanyi this woman was becoming less and less cute!

At this moment on stage, the match between Violent Rabbit and Black Tiger was reaching an end. Although Black Tiger was strong and his skills were very good, he had already fought a round and the one facing him now was Violent Rabbit. It wasn’t surprising that he had fallen into disadvantage. Of course, the ones not surprised were Su Yanyi’s people while the others were shocked. In the audience, there weren’t a lot of people who thought well of Rabbit.

While many people were letting out shocked shouts, Rabbit’s left hand punched towards Black Tiger’s head when he wasn’t on guard. She also very quickly retracted her left fist while at the same time, her right hand came up towards Black Tiger’s throat. Her right leg quickly followed along towards Black Tiger’s chest and very crisply caused Black Tiger to collapse on the floor.

Black Tiger seemed to have some energy left to fight back and was trying his best to stand up but why would Rabbit give him a chance to do so. A leg reached out to step on him with her head held high. She asked with strength: “You don’t admit defeat?” It had to be said that her manner and aura right now was quite similar to Su Yanyi’s.

Black Tiger’s final struggle was futile and he could only admit defeat. But he hadn’t lost out either, he still gained $1,000,000 in cash prize before leaving the stage.

“I choose to continue fighting.” Although she had wasted a bit of energy, to Rabbit, this wasn’t much. She very confidently chose to accept the next challenger. Who asked her to have not fought enough!

“She’s definitely one of your people. Her personality and skills are very similar to yours, so violent.” Corey narrowed his eyes and gave a comment. He was realising that women shouldn’t be underestimated, especially those from the Su family.

Su Yanyi had not only not denied this, she had quietly agreed. Rabbit and herself and trained together. It was very normal for them to be similar in this aspect.

Corey saw that Su Yanyi had not said anything. He opened his communication device to contact the manager of the Fighting Beasts Ring to arrange for his match with Qin Jiran to be after Rabbit’s. This shocked the manager of the Fighting Beasts Ring but he very quickly arranged it. At this time, Rabbit’s second match had begun. This time, it had been specially arranged by the manager who had chosen another lady amongst the contestants though it was a black lady. She looked to be at least twice of Rabbit’s size, making Rabbit seem even more exquisite.

After three minutes of preparation, Su Yanyi allowed Kangaroo to bet another $2,000,000 on Rabbit. As for Corey, after thinking for a bit, he had also bet $2,000,000 on Rabbit. He was optimistic about Rabbit’s strength as well.

The match started. Rabbit’s movements were lively and intense. They were similar to Su Yanyi’s cunningness. After exchanging a few moves, her opponent gradually fell into disadvantage. Compared to the previous match with Black Tiger, there was less reason to watch this match, leaving the audience very disappointed. They came to watch a violent match, not to look at pretty women!

Rabbit had won two rounds consecutively and didn’t seem to have any intention of coming down. Corey was a bit anxious and said to Su Yanyi: “Your underling can fight so well, when is she going to fight until. You’re not trying to drag the time out are you?”

Su Yanyi glared at Corey and then gave Kangaroo a look. Kangaroo immediately contacted Rabbit to leave the competition.
