Chapter 490: The Challenge
"Lier, I don't think you can find an inn with empty rooms now." Grandpa Wen couldn't help laughing when he heard that.
"Why?" Yan Li looked at him with confusion.
"Tomorrow is the Millennium Country's competition festival, and now all the inns are full." Grandpa Wang replied.
"Setting up a competition? What's it for?" Yan Li was very depressed when he heard it.
"The Fighting Festival is a grand event in Millennium Country. Ninety-nine fighting platforms will be set up in the square, and anyone can go up and become the champion." Grandpa Lin explained.
"Of course, the title of champion is rotated, because there will be people who constantly challenge the champion, that is, to snatch the title." Grandpa Wen continued.
"We will wait until the final ninety-nine ultimate champions emerge and then hold the competition to select the champion of the arena." After saying this, Grandpa Wen looked at Yan Li.
"What are the benefits of being the champion of the arena?" Yan Li looked at the four old men.
"There are many benefits, such as marrying a beautiful princess or an outstanding prince, or choosing a generous reward." After saying this, Grandpa Lin looked at Yan Li.
"Only generous rewards are attractive." Yan Li muttered when he heard it.
Four old men: ...
It seems that in Li'er's eyes, neither the beautiful princess nor the outstanding prince can compare to that generous reward.
"Li'er, let's go home." After saying this, Mr. Wen took Yan Li and walked towards the Wen family.
Since all the inns were full, Yan Li had no choice but to stay at the Wen family's house first.
The other three old men knew that Mr. Wen wanted to thank Yan Li for saving his life, so they didn't fight with him for the food. They just followed behind them with a smile.
"Mr. Wen, will it be inconvenient for me to live in the Wen family?" Yan Li looked at Mr. Wen who was walking beside her.
"Of course not." Old Master Wen shook his head.
"That's good." Yan Li smiled when she heard that.
Not long after, Mr. Wen brought Yan Li back to the Wen family.
"Grandpa." As Yan Li and the others walked into the Wen family, a figure pounced towards Grandpa Wen and hung on him.
When Yan Li looked carefully, she found that the person who pounced on her was actually a young man.
"Grandpa, did you sneak out to play again without me?" After the young man let go of Grandpa Wen, he looked at him with resentment on his face.
"Peng'er, you are a prince. You need to be more prudent and not be so impulsive." Old Master Wen looked at the little prince Qian Peng helplessly.
"Grandpa, I'm not going to be the emperor, so there's no need to be so steady." Qian Peng shook his head when he heard that.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wen could only look at him helplessly.
He knew that his grandson had always loved freedom, and therefore had no interest in the throne.
"Wow! What a cute sister." Qian Peng suddenly saw Yan Li standing beside him.
He was about to fly over to hug her, but when Qian Peng approached her, Yan Li kicked him away.
Mr. Wen: ...
My grandson is not only jumpy, but also always does things without thinking.
He is a man and Li'er is a woman, so can he hug her casually?
You deserve to be kicked away!
"Wow! A cute and domineering sister, I like her." At this time, Qian Peng came back limping, and he looked at Yan Li with shining eyes.
Yan Li: ...
This prince must be not very smart, he deserves a kick!
"Peng'er, this is Yan Li, my savior. You must not be rude to me." Old Master Wen looked at Qian Peng with a frown on his face.
"So you are my grandfather's savior. I will protect you from now on." Qian Peng said to Yan Li seriously after hearing this.
"Just don't harass me." Yan Li looked at him speechlessly.
"Puchi..." Grandpa Wen couldn't help laughing when he saw his grandson's devastated expression.
"Li'er, I just like you. I didn't mean to harass you." Qian Peng looked at Yan Li with a face full of grievance.
"Okay, Li'er must be tired after traveling all day. I'll take her to rest first." After saying this, Grandpa Wen took Yan Li and walked towards the Wen family guest garden.
Qian Peng also followed.
"Li'er, are you going to challenge the arena tomorrow?" Qian Peng looked at Yan Li and asked.
"Let's see how the situation develops." Yan Li replied.
She found that Qian Peng was a little eccentric, but actually quite kind.
"Then how about we go to participate in the ring challenge together tomorrow?" Qian Peng looked at Yan Li with shining eyes.
"Peng'er, you..." Upon hearing that Qian Peng was going to participate in the ring challenge, Old Master Wen was hesitant to speak.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I'm just going up to play and will be coming down soon. I'm a prince and they dare not hurt me." Qian Peng naturally knew what Grandpa Wen was thinking.
"Fists and feet have no eyes. What if they hurt you?" Old Master Wen looked at him disapprovingly.
"No, it's not like I haven't been hurt before." Although Qian Peng said this with a smile, Yan Li clearly saw the loneliness in his eyes.
"Do you want to change your useless physique?" Yan Li suddenly looked at Qian Peng.
"Li'er, with my physique, even the marrow cleansing pill is useless." Qian Peng smiled at Yan Li.
"This is spiritual spring water. It can help you completely get rid of your useless physique, but the pain is a hundred times that of taking the marrow cleansing pill. Do you dare to try it?" Yan Li took out a bottle of spiritual spring water from the Purple Spirit Realm and handed it to him.
"Is this the legendary Heavenly Spring?" The four old men were stunned upon hearing this.
"That should be it!" Yan Li didn't know what the Heavenly Spring they were talking about was, but she was sure that the effect of the spiritual spring water was definitely stronger than the so-called Heavenly Spring.
"I'm going to try." A hint of determination flashed across Qian Peng's eyes.
He just took the spiritual spring water and drank it directly.
“Peng’er, kid, why are you still like this…” Grandpa Wen didn’t finish the rest of the sentence.
Because at this time Qian Peng was rolling on the ground in pain.
Mr. Wen sighed and set up an isolation barrier around them.
"Li'er, I'm sorry. Peng'er is too impulsive. I can only watch him for now." Old Master Wen looked at Yan Li with an apologetic look on his face.
"It's okay. He drank so much spiritual spring water in one breath. I have to watch him." Seeing that Qian Peng actually drank the whole bottle of spiritual spring water, Yan Li was speechless.
This is really an impulsive idiot.
The other three old men did not leave either, but stayed quietly to watch Qian Peng together.
As the spiritual spring water gradually took effect, Qian Peng felt the pain in his body gradually intensifying.
But he had only one thought, that is, as long as he survived this time, he could practice.
You can go out and gain experience and travel to various places on the mainland.
Therefore, he relied on this belief to survive wave after wave of pain.
Seeing his face gradually twisted in severe pain, Yan Li reluctantly stuffed a pill into his mouth.
Qian Peng, who was originally enduring severe pain, suddenly felt that the pain in his body was relieved a lot.
So he became more confident that he could make it through.
