"What the hell..." Hazel was completely dumbfounded.
The horse which she had personally groomed and tended to for over 5 years all of a sudden bowed its head and behaving cutely to another master.
How could this even happen? This is ridiculous! Hazel gnashed her teeth in anger.
The stupid horse's foolish behavior ended up being a huge slap on her face.
But all was not lost just yet.
Hazel quickly remembered the main reason why everyone was gathered here and cleared her throat loudly.
"How long are we simply going to admire these animals? Aren't they just horses?"
"Just because some people are not cultured enough to have seen one or petted one in person, doesn't mean that we all have to waste our time here."
"Are we going to start racing or not?"
"Heh. Perhaps this miss over here is suddenly afraid to climb onto my horses."
One end of Hazel's lips pulled upwards widening into a condescending smirk.
Taming the horse was one thing but actually riding it required skill and talent and not to mention many years of practice.
How could this random bumpkin possess any of those skills?
Even if she did, how could she possibly come close to my level and technique?
Hazel snorted coldly and stared daggers at Su Lin, waiting for a response.
Su Lin on the other hand simply chuckled. She was having far too much of a good time to be bothered by an adulescent brat.
She playfully tugged at Luther's shirt and mumbled with a cute expression. "Can I race? Please? Please? Pretty please?"
"I am sorry, my dear. You know that will be too hard on you." Luther leaned over and kissed her gently.
They still had not publicly told anyone about her pregnancy yet. So he didn't explain that reason openly.
"But I promise nothing will happen. It's just horse riding. Please. Please?" Su Lin continued acting cute.
Monkey felt a shiver running down his spine.
Every time he saw Su Lin act cutely, he couldn't help but think of Godzilla smiling before swallowing someone wholly.
"Hmm... Fine. You win sweetheart. Why must you torment me like this?" Luther sighed and gave up in the end.
How nauseating?! Why was she acting so childish?
In this day and age, which man liked like a pitiful and damsel in distress sort of woman?
Hazel's lips twitched at this two-man act, but she tried her best to remain calm.
This was not the time for her to vent her anger.
Maybe if she said something rashly then the shameless gold digger would go back on her words and not participate in the racing.
It was best that she acted properly now and later on when she inevitably won, she could gloat all she wanted.
After Luther was coaxed, things progressed kind of quickly and the race tracks were set up.
Four horses stood proudly and majestically at the beginning of the track and Luther's three sisters leaped onto random ones without much ado.
They had personally trained all of them and had already ridden all of them at one point or the other.
So they were not too picky about it.
Su Lin as well sat steadily on her horse, which she had named Blacky by now.
Of course, it was Luther who had lifted her up and helped her sit down, angering Hazel a bit more than she already was.
"Ok. Ok. Let's go." Mike excitedly shouted. He lifted his index finger and blasted a puff of air combined with spiritual qi.
"Ready. Set. Go."
The four horses neighed simultaneously and lifted their front two hoofs high in the air.
Then in the blink of an eye, they swiftly galloped with the speed of the wind, kicking up an enormous puff of dust behind them.
The three daughters of the head family sat elegantly on the horse, their slender streamlined figures aligning perfectly with the body of the majestic beast.
Their posture, angel and hold, every single thing was perfect.
These small things even though they didn't look significant, made a lot of impact on the final speed.
Hazel smugly showed off her exquisite talent and slightly turned back to see how the country bumpkin was doing.
She probably wouldn't even have crossed a mile! The beautiful woman harrumphed coldly.
Hazel turned behind to search for Su Lin but unfortunately, she couldn't see anyone at all.
"Huh? Did that bitch just back out for some lame reason?" She pondered and turned her head.
"Well. Whatever. I will finish this first and then go look for her. Heh. People need to be put in their place often, else they forget who they are."
Hazel smirked and reined in closer to catch up to her sisters.
In the snap second that she had turned around to look, her sisters had already overtaken her and were far ahead of her.
But Hazel didn't really care. They were not the ones she wanted to beat and thoroughly humiliate.
She grinned as she smoothly rode her beast and flew like the wind. She had always enjoyed horse riding the most.
"Heh. Stupid country bumpkin wanting to compete with me in her own forte? Dream on!"
As she hastened her pace, Hazel couldn't help but slightly widen her eyes.
She was confused to see suddenly three trails of dust cropping up in front of her.
Except for her, there were only her two sisters on the trail, so why was there a third dust trial?
AH! Hazel loudly gasped as realization suddenly dawned on her. She felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her head.
What the heck? How the hell?
Hazel tightened the reins subconsciously making her horse very startled.
The poor animal shook its head vigorously and lifted its front legs in discomfort.
Since Hazel was very distracted at the moment, this slight change in posture threw her off and she directly fell off the horse landing on the ground with a loud thud.
