19: Chapter 19 I Accept the Challenge 19: Chapter 19 I Accept the Challenge The mountain peaks of Liuluo Bay Entertainment City are famous far and wide, attracting countless rock climbing enthusiasts.
Especially at the summit, there’s a particularly treacherous spot that no one has managed to scale to this day.
All rock climbing enthusiasts have named this place the “Eagle’s Beak Stone”, because at the top of the mountain there’s a rock that juts out like an eagle’s beak, completely obstructing the path to the summit.
Only by climbing over the Eagle’s Beak Stone can one reach the top.
However, the stone juts out, so it’s difficult to even grip it, not to mention climbing over it.
Even if someone manages to hold onto it, they often slip and fall off.
Furthermore, as more people attempt to climb it, the Eagle’s Beak Stone has become as smooth as ice, making it even harder to find a grip.
Therefore, since Liuluo Bay Entertainment City opened, despite all the rock climbing enthusiasts from around the country coming to challenge it, no one has managed to reach the summit.
As a result, the Eagle’s Beak Stone has become the target of rock climbers nationwide.
Anyone who can climb the Eagle’s Beak Stone will definitely become a leader among climbers in the country.
Even just gripping the Eagle’s Beak Stone is a symbol of strength.
So, when it was heard that Huo Shuangpei was going to compete in rock climbing against Wang Yan, Ouyang Feiting immediately focused her gaze on the Eagle’s Beak Stone.
Huo Shuangpei never thought Ouyang Feiting assumed he would climb the Eagle’s Beak Stone, so he continued proudly, “Feiting, I’m not only a martial arts champion but also a climbing expert.
This kid either admits defeat on the spot, or if he dares to compete with me, I’ll make sure he loses miserably, hahaha.
This time, I’ll definitely earn back your face.”
Huo Shuangpei got more excited and raised his hand, gesticulating.
But as soon as he lifted his palm, his sleeve slipped down, revealing the purple handprint on his wrist where Wang Yan had grabbed him earlier.
Startled, Huo Shuangpei quickly lowered his hand and looked at Ouyang Feiting in a panic.
Luckily, Ouyang Feiting was still focused on the Eagle’s Beak Stone and hadn’t noticed him.
Just as Huo Shuangpei was about to let out a sigh of relief, Ouyang Feiting said, “Alright, today you’ll compete with him to climb the Eagle’s Beak Stone.”
Eagle’s Beak Stone?” Just after agreeing, Huo Shuangpei heard the words “Eagle’s Beak Stone” and was immediately shocked.
“That’s right, it’s what you said! Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
Are you trying to trick me again?
Was pretending to be a martial arts champion a lie, and being a climbing expert also a lie?” Ouyang Feiting said, widening her eyes.
“No, no, I’ll climb the Eagle’s Beak Stone!” Huo Shuangpei waved his hands incessantly and reluctantly agreed, while thinking to himself: “Oh my, my dear lady, does being a climbing expert necessarily mean I can climb the Eagle’s Beak Stone?
This could be fatal!”
However, upon further thought, Huo Shuangpei considered, “Even if I can’t climb the Eagle’s Beak Stone, that pale kid is sure to be worse.
As long as I climb higher than him, that’ll be enough.”
At this moment, Wang Yan and Beiming Xue stepped into Liuluo Bay Entertainment City.
This was Wang Yan’s first time at the entertainment city, which was bustling with people and full of thrilling attractions, with occasional screams echoing through the air.
Beiming Xue was extraordinarily excited, pointing around and shouting.
“Look, that’s the double flying ride!
Brother Wang Yan, we should definitely ride it later; it must be so thrilling.”
“And, and, Meteor Hammer!
It’s super scary, I’m not sure I’d dare to ride it.”
“Wow—there’s the roller coaster, look, the people in the cars have their heads down!
It’s so frightening!”
Beiming Xue was glancing at everything, her face showing a mixture of eagerness to try but also nervousness.
Wang Yan looked at these attractions; though he found them novel, he didn’t feel “afraid” or “excited” at all.
The speed of these metal machines couldn’t even compare to his own, leaving him puzzled about what made people scream.
Just as Wang Yan was pondering this, Beiming Xue pursed her lips, pretending to look pitiful, stood in front of Wang Yan, and with her beautiful, gleaming eyes, said, “Brother Wang Yan, I really want to do these.
Could you… could you accompany me?”
“Sure!” Wang Yan nodded.
When Wang Yan agreed, Beiming Xue shouted excitedly, “Great, indeed having a boyfriend makes all the difference.”
What is a boyfriend?” It was the first time Wang Yan heard the term “boyfriend,” so he asked.
Upon hearing Wang Yan’s question, Beiming Xue blushed instantly, thinking to herself: Ah Beiming Xue, you’re so embarrassed.
He wasn’t even pursuing you, and you already assumed he’s your boyfriend.
You usually don’t even give men the time of day, yet with Brother Wang Yan, everything seems to go differently.
Beiming Xue’s face turned beet red.
Seeing Wang Yan waiting for her answer, she hesitated and said softly, “A boyfriend is a male friend.
You’re a man, and you’re my friend, so you’re my boyfriend.”
After listening, Wang Yan nodded, looking as if he suddenly understood.
Beiming Xue secretly thought angrily: “Idiot, idiot, doesn’t even know what a boyfriend is.
Hmph, such a big dumb bull.”
At this moment, Wang Yan said, “You’re a woman and you’re my friend, so surely you’re my girlfriend?”
Upon hearing this, Beiming Xue’s anger instantly dissipated, nodding repeatedly, “Yes, yes, that’s what it means.”
The two couldn’t help but look at each other and laugh.
But Wang Yan was laughing because he’d learned a new term, while Beiming Xue was laughing because she’d cleverly become Wang Yan’s girlfriend.
Just then, an inappropriate voice came from the side: “Hmph, what’s so good about a fair-skinned boy, clearly never seen a real man.”
Beiming Xue was still happy when she heard this voice, and her expression immediately turned cold as frost.
She didn’t need to turn her head to know that Ouyang Feiting had followed them again.
Instantly, Beiming Xue pulled Wang Yan, saying, “Brother Wang Yan, let’s ignore her, let’s go.”
Just as the two were about to turn around, Huo Shuangpei shouted, “Pretty boy, I want to challenge you to a climbing competition, do you dare?”
But Wang Yan and Beiming Xue were too dismissive to pay attention to Huo Shuangpei and gradually walked further away.
Huo Shuangpei sneered and said, “Haha, you’re clearly scared.
Acting like a coward, not a real man.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan suddenly stopped, turned around, and his cold eyes fixed on Huo Shuangpei.
Huo Shuangpei shivered from Wang Yan’s icy gaze, feeling as if it could kill him.
Huo Shuangpei suddenly regretted his decision, feeling he shouldn’t have provoked this pretty boy.
At this moment, Ouyang Feiting shrieked, “So, are you going to do it or not?
If you lose, kneel before me and call me ‘grand aunt’ three times.
If you admit defeat now, just kneel before me and call me ‘grand aunt’ once.
Hahaha, pretty boy, are you going to say it three times or once?”
Hearing this, Beiming Xue was enraged, her face turning ashen, and she said to Wang Yan, “Brother Wang Yan, accept his challenge and defeat him.”
Wang Yan said calmly, “Alright, I accept the challenge!”
