Chapter 1264: Chapter 720: He Cherishes His Reputation Very Much
"They can say whatever they want."
"Anyway, he didnāt care at all right now."
"There was nothing to care about."
A moment later, Black Bear finally broke the silence.
"We can make a bet with you, but the precondition is that you canāt play dirty since so many of us are here."
"Even if youāre here alone and you want to play dirty, you canāt escape the palm of our hands, so Iām not very concerned about this right now."
"Alright then, I accept your challenge now, but we will take turns fighting. If you all come at me at once, Iām afraid you wonāt be able to handle it."
Black Bear threw out a provoking comment.
Qin Yuan chuckled coldly.
Did they really think about all attacking together?
Moreover, he had been talking about one-on-one fights the whole time.
There had been no talk of facing them all at once.
Why make such a fuss about it?
It really was pointless.
Although thatās what he thought, Qin Yuan still spoke slowly.
"Of course weāre taking turns, and although there will be breaks in between, they wonāt be long, so rest assured."
"Since weāve already made a bet, shouldnāt we start the second round now? We already had the first round."
"It was just a break in between, and I indeed want to see when the second round will start!"
Qin Yuanās words were an obvious hint.
No, more like a clear statement.
He wanted to know when Ling Yu would be ready.
He indeed lacked the patience to keep dragging things out with Ling Yu.
He wanted to get moving quickly.
This was also a successful change of subject.
And a successful rescue of the woman and the girl.
It was like saving them twice now.
But he had no thought of taking credit for his actions.
ššāÆš¦šš¦š£ššššš.šā“š
After all, life was tough for a woman with a child out in the world.
If he could save them, he would.
Baldy obviously caught Qin Yuanās drift, but immediately turned his gaze back to the woman.
Ling Yu was not yet fully rested.
So he needed to buy some time for him.
No choice, since Ling Yu was on his team.
The womanās body couldnāt help but shiver.
What was this?
Why bring the conversation back to this?
Was there something wrong with Baldy?
She hated people who couldnāt let things go.
Could they not just move on?
Did they really not believe he would be jinxed to death?
After speaking so much about being afraid of him, he was still persistent.
She really didnāt know how to escape his grasp now.
Baldy suddenly burst into a crazed laugh.
"How could your body jolt like that? What exactly happened, tell me. If you donāt tell me,"
"How am I supposed to know what youāre afraid of? Are you afraid that Iāll keep you by my side? If you werenāt afraid,"
"You wouldnāt be spouting so much nonsense to me. But I donāt believe a word you say, so you better stay close to me."
Baldy emphasized his point once again.
It was quite clear.
He didnāt mind that the woman was said to be a jinx.
He was determined to keep her by his side.
The expressions of the onlookers revealed extreme astonishment.
Really?
Was Baldy seriously going to do this?
That was awfully bold.
They hadnāt expected Baldy to be so daring.
Honestly, they really wanted to stay by Baldyās side to see if he would indeed be jinxed to death.
But they surely didnāt dare to voice such a request. They werenāt as bold as the young fellow.
Even if they were curious, they had to suppress this curiosity deep inside, not letting it show.
After all, Baldy was not someone easy to provoke.
They had already been scolded for whispering.
How could they not be scolded if they made such a request?
Maybe Baldy would lose his temper even more.
So the onlookers suppressed their thoughts.
Their expressions returned to a state of extreme calm.
But inside, they were very curious.
Baldy once again looked down on the woman from above and took a few steps forward.
He was quite close to the woman now.
The girl had not been so scared before, but the moment she heard the footsteps, her body started shaking again, and her voice was very low.
"Mommy, Iām scared."
Hearing this, the womanās face darkened slightly, with an expression of heartache.
So, she quickly comforted her daughter, "Sweetie, donāt be afraid."
But the girlās body couldnāt stop shaking.
It was not something that could be easily soothed.
Only by getting Baldy to leave would it help.
As long as Baldy was there, her daughter would be afraid.
Thinking this, the woman turned her eyes to Qin Yuan, showing a very serious expression.
"May I ask you for a favor? Iām really at my witās end now, with no one to help me."
"I have to ask you for this favor. Please look after my daughter; Iāll stay by his side in a moment."
"When the day comes that heās jinxed to death by me, Iāll take my daughter back into my arms to raise her, so you must take good care of her."
Everyone present was stunned as if they had heard something utterly surprising.
Their mouths agape, they couldnāt utter a single word.
Qin Yuan hadnāt expected the woman to suddenly say such a thing.
But he didnāt respond immediately, instead looking at the woman with a teasing gaze.
Shan Ge seemed a bit shocked.
Was Baldy just stalling for time? Or was he serious?
He probably was stalling, but why do it in such a frightening way?
He could have used another method to buy time, there was no need to resort to this one.
