The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 24 Mu Cheng at the Cinema: Tang Rou's Battle with Ye Xiu - A Complete Defeat!

Tang Rou's hand speed is completely unpredictable, which ironically makes her high speed a weakness. She has too little effective hand speed and too much ineffective hand speed. Simply put, her ineffective hand speed creates unnecessary trouble for her, resulting in many openings in her hand.
To the average player, Tang Rou might seem pretty good, even a junior player, but compared to true professional players, she's still far too inexperienced.

"Finish!"

With the final "Triple Slash" strike, Zhu Yanxia's health was completely depleted, and Tang Rou was defeated.

"This...so fast?"

Chen Guo looked at the time in shock. Only a few minutes had passed, eight minutes, and Xiao Tang... was gone.

Actually, if Mo Qian's silver weapon were upgraded further, the time might be even faster, because it's practically impossible for Mo Qian to achieve a 100-hit combo in a one-on-one fight, so the unique characteristics of the One Thought God and Demon weren't fully utilized.
Tang Rou lowered her head, her short hair obscuring her eyes, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Mo Qian couldn't wait any longer; the time he had agreed to meet Mu Cheng was fast approaching. After getting up, washing up, and grabbing his coat, Mo Qian prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

Tang Rou stood up and said somewhat stubbornly:
"One more game!"

Mo Qian's lips twitched. He had considered that this girl might have a strong desire to win, but he really hadn't expected her to be this strong. Mo Qian said somewhat awkwardly:
"How about we compete again next time... Sigh!"

Guess who Mo Qian saw coming out? Of course, it was Ye Xiu, who came out with his hair all messy and uncombed!

Mo Qian's eyes lit up. Wasn't this a savior? Seeing Tang Rou's incredibly earnest gaze, Mo Qian immediately pulled the sleepy-eyed Ye Xiu over and said without hesitation:
"Tang Rou, if you want to fight, then fight him. If you beat this old man, then I'll fight you."

Ye Xiu stared blankly at Tang Rou and Mo Qian, wondering how this had gotten into his hands.

"Old Ye, I'm leaving it to you. I need to stay with Mu Cheng, you know that."

Ye Xiu had no choice, but how could he let Mo Qian leave so easily? Old Ye made a two-pointer with his hand.

"I'll leave my socks to you this month; I'll take care of it for you."

Mo Qian gritted his teeth and agreed to Ye Xiu's request.

“I understand. So, as long as I defeat this person, I can continue to challenge you, right?” Tang Rou said seriously.

"Yes, you guys keep it up. I'm off now—boss, I need to take a break."

After saying that, Mo Qian ran off in a flash, leaving Ye Xiu and Tang Rou standing there staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Then let's get started?"

However, Ye Xiu felt that playing like this was a bit boring and suggested adding some stakes.
How about a pack of cigarettes?

Tang Rou didn't have a pack of cigarettes, but she did have a lot of money—Tang Rou's family background was extremely unusual. Although Chen Guo had never heard Tang Rou mention it, she could tell from Tang Rou's usual manner of speaking.

"Wow? Your hands are so beautiful too. Is it true that all skilled people have beautiful hands?"

Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu's slender, fair hands and their almost perfect shape. Tang Rou's hands could be described as delicate and beautiful. Tang Rou had played the piano, but Ye Xiu was unaware of that. "Hey—Ye Xiu, have you ever studied piano?" Chen Guo asked curiously.

"I learned it before, but I haven't played it in a long time."

Ye Xiu's family background is also extraordinary. Su Mucheng often teases Ye Xiu about this: "If you don't achieve results, you'll have to go back and inherit the family fortune!"

Old Ye is probably genuinely afraid of going back to inherit the family fortune. Over the past ten years, he has earned the title of "Honor's Ten-Year Textbook," which is, of course, due to his deep love for Honor.

Tang Rou was initially quite confident because Ye Xiu didn't look like a master at all—his messy hair was seriously affecting my image as Ye Shen.

However, when Tang Rou was completely overwhelmed by Ye Xiu's unaffiliated character in the first match, she realized something was wrong and unconsciously thought to herself, "This person is so strong."

But who is Tang Rou? She's not afraid of losing even a lot.

"Come again!"

"Come again!"

"Come again!"

…………

While the battle raged on, Mo Qian brought Mu Cheng to the movie theater, where they were watching a film together.

"Popcorn! Popcorn!" Su Mucheng excitedly asked Mo Qian for popcorn while sitting down, knowing that Mo Qian would definitely buy it.

"Okay, okay." Mo Qian looked at Su Mucheng with doting eyes. No matter how you looked at her, Mucheng was just so adorable.

In the dimly lit environment of the movie theater, Mu Cheng took off her mask, revealing her stunningly beautiful face, which Mo Qian could never tire of even after seeing it countless times.

Looking at Mu Cheng's innocent smile, Mo Qian secretly vowed in his heart: He must protect the most beautiful Mu Cheng forever.

At this moment, Ye Xiu was still fighting Tang Rou one-on-one. As everyone knows, Ye Xiu never knows what holding back is, and he never holds back. When Mo Qian returned, Tang Rou was still fighting Ye Xiu.
"This... Boss, it's not over yet—"

Mo Qian looked at Chen Guo with a bit of confusion, but when Mo Qian asked Chen Guo, who was Chen Guo asking? Chen Guo knew that Xiao Tang was competitive, but she didn't expect him to be this competitive, already going head-to-head with Ye Xiu.

"Again...again!"

When the one-on-one match ended, Tang Rou wanted to take out another 100-yuan bill from her pocket, but found that she didn't have any left; all the cash had already been taken out.

"How about we call it a day?"
