Chapter 185-186

Chapter 185: Courting Death 　 Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu didn’t care about the commotion here. The two of them were only focused on their competition. After a leap, Yan Jinyu soared into the air and spun around. With a beautiful drift, she reached the finish line first. However, Huo Siyu wasn’t much later than her. It was only a difference of a few seconds. The ending was equally beautiful, but Huo Siyu wasn’t discouraged by the fact that she had lost the competition. “Beauty Yu, it’s indeed very difficult to beat you!” No matter what they were competing. 　 　 “You’re not bad either.” Yan Jinyu wasn’t stingy with her praise. “You’ve improved a lot.” Not only did she improve in skiing, but she also improved in her skills. In terms of skiing skills, it was impossible for them to do what the two ladies did. Based on her previous standard, Yan Jinyu wouldn’t have only defeated Huo Siyu for a few seconds. Of course, it was not that she had regressed, but Huo Siyu had improved. Yan Jinyu was very happy about this. As for whether she had improved or not, she did not care that much. Anyway, she had never been a very ambitious person. In the past, if it was not for the sake of survival, she probably would not have mastered so many skills. However, she would never stop learning whatever she wanted to learn until she mastered it. That was why she had today. Huo Siyu grinned at her praise. Then, she looked in the direction where the few of them were standing. “Beauty Yu, do you think Huo Sisi specially brought us out just to get Xiang Qing to disgust us? I keep feeling that this isn’t her style.” Huo Sisi was such a ruthless person who wanted to destroy someone completely. Why did she only find such a weakling? They didn’t even torture her and she was already dead. 　 　 Besides, if it was just a small fight, they wouldn’t be able to torture Huo Sisi back! Diss her? What was the point of dissing her? Huo Sisi was still jumping around like a clown. Yan Jinyu followed her gaze and happened to see Cao Ming walking over on the two skis. She smiled, “There’s no hurry. There will be a good show soon.” Huo Siyu saw that she was looking at Cao Ming. At first, she was a little puzzled until she saw Cao Ming walking straight towards them. Then, she saw Cao Ming’s gaze that occasionally turned back to look at Huo Sisi. She instantly understood. “When I was skiing earlier, I unintentionally glanced over there. My vision is very good, and they aren’t standing too far away so I saw very clearly. Huo Sisi reached out to pull Cao Ming, and then Cao Ming grabbed her hand and kissed it.” Yan Jinyu was like an enthusiastic audience. Huo Siyu had goosebumps after hearing her words. “No way? Huo Sisi didn’t hesitate to seduce such a person just to deal with us?”?Let’s just assume that Huo Sisi was a beauty. “This Second Young Master of the Cao Family doesn’t look too bad, but compared to the descendants of the other families, he’s too shabby. He also has shifty eyes. Compared to my brother…” “It’s like the difference between heaven and earth! Huo Sisi has designs on my brother. Doesn’t she feel the difference?” “Also, doesn’t Huo Sisi feel disgusted?” “Oh my god, I’ve really lived for so long that I can meet all kinds of weirdos. Fortunately, my brother doesn’t have any feelings for her. Otherwise, with such a sister-in-law… my brother’s head might be completely covered in?green1!” “However, she didn’t hesitate to make such a huge sacrifice to achieve her goal. This is very… Uh, admirable.” 　 　 “Let’s go, Beauty Yu. Let’s go for another two laps. Let’s not bother about him first.” Such a small fry was not worth their efforts to deal with. Since they were here, they could just settle him with violence. Few people could compare to them in terms of violence. They had bombed an island to smithereens and destroyed the nest of the Ghost Slaughter Island, the most famous assassin organization in the killer world. What else could be more violent than that? Yan Jinyu stepped on the skiboard and followed her with a beautiful jump. At the same time, she threw a glance at Huo Sisi. She frowned slightly. According to Huo Sisi’s style of completely destroying Little Rain as soon as she made a move, as well as Huo Sisi’s ability to prevent even Huo Xuan and Little Rain from finding out about her after she did that, she had a feeling that Huo Sisi’s plan today was not limited to this. It was impossible to completely destroy them just by getting Xiang Qing and Cao Ming here. Huo Sisi should not be so naive. However, she was actually not worried at all. She retracted her emotions and continued to ski. After skiing two rounds, the two of them went back to the starting point. Cao Ming, who was on the same ski route, also slid back to the starting point. Not only Cao Ming, Yuan Xi, who was watching the commotion, also walked towards them. 　 　 “Second Miss Huo, Miss Yan, I didn’t expect you guys to ski so well. Shall we have a match?” Cao Ming looked at them with admiration. Huo Siyu glanced at the two skis at his feet. “We’re using skiboard while you’re using double skis. Is there a comparison?” She had successfully made Cao Ming’s expression stiffen. However, he had probably made up his mind. His displeasure was quickly restrained. “I’m better at using skis. It’s such a dangerous slide, so I don’t dare to use a skiboard.” “If you don’t dare to use the skiboard, why do you still want to compete with us? Can’t you just play by yourself? I say, you’re really an interesting person. You want to compete with us but at the same time you said that you’re not good at skiboard and even felt that the ski route we chose was dangerous. It’s as if we’re forcing you to compete with us.” “If you want to compete with us, then change to a skiboard. Otherwise, go wherever you want.” Huo Siyu’s words were very impolite. However, when she said that, the onlookers who were amazed by her and Yan Jinyu’s superb skiing skills agreed with her completely. Many people even echoed after her when she finished speaking. Cao Ming’s face turned bright red. He was so embarrassed. “Alright! I’ll go change to the skiboard!” Cao Ming left angrily. At this moment, Yuan Xi walked over. “Miss Yan, Miss Huo.” His attitude was cold yet polite. Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded. “Young Master Yuan,” Huo Siyu greeted. “Do you mind if I join your competition?” This surprised the both of them. “Young Master Yuan wants to join us too?” Huo Siyu asked. Yuan Xi nodded, a hint of excitement in his eyes. “I preferred this kind of sport. It’s rare to find someone of a similar strength to compete.” Huo Siyu didn’t reply immediately. She looked at Yan Jinyu inquiringly. “Sure,” Yan Jinyu said. It was a good opportunity to test their guesses. Then, Yan Jinyu saw a faint smile flash across Yuan Xi’s face. It quickly disappeared, and she almost missed it. Yuan Yuan was worried and followed him over, “Xi’er, why don’t we… forget it? It’s too dangerous.” “It’s fine. Actually, it’s about the same as playing on my own.” After a pause, Yuan Xi still said, “Sister, don’t worry.” “But…” “I used to play this often in the past. My skills are not bad, and I’ve never been injured. Besides, both the girls aren’t afraid. Why should I be afraid?” Yuan Yuan wanted to say that they were really good at skiing. It seemed like they were familiar with skiing in a ski park. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so good. 　 　 However, thinking that she would sound like she was looking down on her biological brother, Yuan Yuan did not say anything in the end. Under her worried gaze, the three of them arrived at the starting point. At this moment, Cao Ming, who had changed to a skiboard, came back. The few of them stood alternately in a line. Yuan Xi stood on the leftmost, followed by Yan Jinyu, then Cao Ming, and then Huo Siyu. Huo Siyu jumped onto the skiboard and glanced at Cao Ming, “Shall we begin?” For some reason, Cao Ming felt inexplicably uneasy when he saw the smile on Huo Siyu’s face. Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he nodded. “Begin!” The four of them flew out at the same time. Perhaps because he was really not familiar with the single skiboard, Cao Ming’s body swayed when he slid out. Compared to the three of them, he was far too inferior. With Huo Sisi watching, Cao Ming, who did not perform well, was filled with anger. He originally only had the determination to seriously injure Huo Siyu, but now, he wanted to do more than that. It wasn’t only Huo Siyu. Looking at Yan Jinyu, who had surpassed him by a small distance, a ruthless glint flashed past Cao Ming’s eyes. His limelight was actually stolen by two girls! At this moment, it was unknown if it was because he was blinded by anger or because Yan Jinyu was the most eye-catching among the four people in this match. Cao Ming actually gave up on attacking Huo Siyu, who was closer to him, and suddenly accelerated towards Yan Jinyu. He wasn’t as fast as Yan Jinyu. If he wanted to catch up to her, he had to ski desperately! Seeing this scene, everyone in the stands exclaimed. They were all exclamations like “Is he crazy”, “Does he want to die”, “Miss, be careful”. Yuan Xi, who was a little behind Yan Jinyu, saw that and his expression changed drastically. “Be careful!” After shouting, he wanted to ski over and help her block him. However, Yuan Xi’s speed was too fast and they were also on the most dangerous part of the ski route. It was impossible for him to quickly ski over and block Cao Ming while ensuring his safety at the same time. Cao Ming increased his speed ruthlessly and shouted, “Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!” It was to make excuses and so he could say that he had lost control and caused the accident. However, he didn’t expect that even if he could hurt Yan Jinyu, he wouldn’t be able to get away with it unscathed. *** Chapter 186: A Terrible End 　 Only Huo Siyu didn’t panic when Cao Ming accelerated. Instead, she slowed down. There were two reasons for it. Firstly, she didn’t want to affect Beauty Yu’s performance. Secondly, she knew why Beauty Yu had agreed for Yuan Xi to join in. She slowed down at the back so that she could observe Yuan Xi seriously. She was looking at Yuan Xi’s reaction and also observing if he had any extraordinary skills. “Watch out!” “Get out of the way!” *** Just as Cao Ming was about to hit Yan Jinyu, shouts came from everywhere. In the next second, everyone was stunned. They saw an unbelievable scene. Yan Jinyu had long known that Cao Ming was going to try something. However, her initial guess was that he would attack Huo Siyu first. Hence, even though she was in front, she had been paying attention to the situation behind her. She thought that if Huo Siyu couldn’t handle any sudden changes, she would quickly go back and help. She never expected that Cao Ming’s target would be her. 　 　 It seemed like none of the people Huo Sisi got to help her was capable! She had sensed it long ago, but she did not dodge. If she dodged, she would have slipped away in an instant. How could she teach the person who wanted to find trouble with her a lesson if she did that? Hence, she waited until Cao Ming was about to collide with her before she leaped up with the skiboard. She directly turned around and slammed the skiboard into Cao Ming. Then, she flew around and landed steadily. She even slid over to pull Yuan Xi, who wanted to save her, but almost fell. As for Cao Ming, his skiboard split apart and he tumbled out. At such a fast speed, it was obvious what would happen if Yan Jinyu “accidentally” bumped into him while she was trying to save herself. Yes, in the eyes of others, Yan Jinyu’s slam into Cao Ming completely unintentionally. Even Yuan Xi, who had stabilized himself again, thought so too. Was that it? Of course not. Huo Siyu, who was “frightened” by this scene, panicked. She couldn’t control the skiboard under her feet at all. She shouted, “Get out of the way!” as she stumbled down and bumped into Cao Ming, who had rolled over there! The skiboard flew out and she “fell” onto the ski route. However, she reacted quickly and knelt on one knee with her hand on the snow after a few rolls. It seemed like she was not seriously injured. However, her face was pale. She maintained this posture for a long time, seemingly frightened. It was a ski route that tested one’s skills the most. Even if something went wrong midway, it would be difficult to stop at such a fast speed. Yan Jinyu and Yuan Xi had no choice but to ski straight to the finish line. Everything, in fact, happened in just an instant. The onlookers didn’t even have the time to exclaim that Yan Jinyu actually avoided it so handsomely in such a dangerous situation before they saw Cao Ming being sent flying. Before they could cry out in shock, they saw Huo Siyu being “frightened” to the point of losing her balance. She directly banged into Cao Ming, who was lying there. Nobody knew if he was dead or alive! Yes, banged into him! The collision was ruthless! This scene was comparable to watching a blockbuster movie! The people in the stands were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. 　 　 The staff was the first to react. “Call the ambulance!” They were all regular customers here. The staff did not know Huo Siyu, but they knew Cao Ming, Huo Sisi, and the others. They could not afford to offend them! After that, before everyone could recover from their shock, they saw Yan Jinyu skiing towards Huo Siyu on the skiboard. That’s right, she skied upwards! And it was on such a dangerous slippery ski route. The spectators’ emotions could no longer be expressed by the word “shock”. There were many people who shouted “f*ck” and “awesome”. Yan Jinyu stopped beside Huo Siyu and “worriedly” said, “Little Rain, are you alright? Are you hurt?” Huo Siyu smiled smugly at her, then quickly recovered her “shocked” look. “Beauty, Beauty Yu, are you alright? You scared me to death just now! I thought… I thought…” “It’s fine. I’m fine. On the other hand, are you okay?” “Wait a minute. I’ll go pick up the skiboard for you.” It was more convenient to use the skiboard on the ski route. Yan Jinyu skied over and glanced at Cao Ming, who was lying there but still conscious. She smiled, “If you want to find trouble, you should think twice about your own worth first.” 　 　 She glanced at his leg. “Tsk tsk, Little Rain’s collision was much more ruthless than mine. I wonder if these legs can still be recovered. Don’t be a cripple for the rest of your life for a woman.” “You want to hurt Little Rain and me with Huo Sisi’s tricks? Tsk, we’re just playing with her out of boredom.” Seeing the unwillingness in his frightened eyes, Yan Jinyu continued, “You look very indignant?” “So what if you’re indignant? What can you do to us? Do you want to teach Little Rain and me a lesson so that you can get your lady love back? You’re so naive. Do you think Huo Sisi will like you? Look, you’ve been down for so long, but Huo Sisi is still standing where she is. She doesn’t even have the intention of checking on you.” “Oh, that’s not all. Huo Sisi seems to be very angry now. She should be… angry at you for not doing your job well.” “Look at you. You almost lost your life trying to help her. Not only is she not worried about you, but she’s also angry that you didn’t do your job well. What exactly are you trying to achieve?” “If I were you, I wouldn’t be so stupid. Why would I risk my life for her? Since I like her, why shouldn’t she stay with me forever?” “You…” Cao Ming looked at her in shock. “Are you surprised that I know that you like Huo Sisi? Anyone with eyes can tell, okay? Do you think Huo Sisi doesn’t know what you’re thinking? She knew long ago and she was just using you.” “By the way, do you think she was interested in you when she got close to you just now? Don’t overthink. She was just using you. She already has someone else in her heart.” 　 　 “Are you very curious about who the person in her heart is? Do you think someone like Huo Sisi will fancy someone lousy? I won’t say much about who that person is but he’s definitely better than you. In Huo Sisi’s heart, you’ll never be able to beat him.” “Don’t be silly. If you like her, just hold her in your hands. Huo Sisi is only the adopted daughter of the Huo Family. If anything happens to her and damages the Huo Family’s reputation, do you think the Huo Family will take care of her or the Huo Family’s reputation?” Cao Ming stared at her with wide eyes. It seemed like he understood what she meant. Yan Jinyu smiled in satisfaction. That was more like it. She had not wasted her breath. Since she had schemed against Little Rain and wanted to ruin her reputation, she would give her a taste of her own medicine. Who wasn’t a bad person? “Be smart and grab what you want. Don’t overestimate yourself anymore. You can’t beat us. Aren’t the injuries on your legs and body the best proof?” When Yuan Xi followed suit and skied up, he happened to see Yan Jinyu bend down to pick up Huo Siyu’s clipboard. Yes, on such a steep ski route, she could still maintain her balance and bend down to pick up the skiboard. Such ability… He couldn’t compare to her. Moreover, they were both skiing upwards and they both set off at almost the same time. He only arrived long after she did. Although something happened and this competition didn’t end smoothly, he clearly realized that he couldn’t compare to Yan Jinyu in skiing. He wasn’t even Huo Siyu’s match. Take Huo Siyu’s earlier accident as an example, if it were him, could he survive unscathed as Huo Siyu did? He wasn’t sure. Under Cao Ming’s shocked and frightened gaze, Yan Jinyu hugged Huo Siyu’s skiboard and calmly turned around, skiing towards Huo Siyu. Huo Siyu took the skiboard and “used” Yan Jinyu’s outstretched hand to stand up and jump onto the skiboard. The two of them skied down just like that. They had no intention of going against the flow. When she passed by Yuan Xi, Yan Jinyu paused for a moment, “Young Master Yuan, aren’t you leaving?” No matter the reason, it was true that Yuan Xi didn’t hesitate to take the risk to save her at that critical moment. Yuan Xi looked at her and then at Cao Ming, who was groaning in pain weakly. He retracted his gaze. “Are you alright, Miss Huo?” It seemed like he had no intention of helping Cao Ming. Nobody knew if it was because he had realized Cao Ming’s thoughts from the beginning or if he wasn’t someone who would poke his nose into other people’s business. However, if he wasn’t someone who would poke his nose into other people’s business, why would he specially follow Yan Jinyu back and even ask if Huo Siyu was alright? Anyway, at this moment, Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu couldn’t understand him. However, they were certain that he wouldn’t harm Yan Jinyu for the time being. In other words, the possibility of him being Jones decreased again. “It’s fine. Thank you for your concern, Young Master Yuan. Also, thank you for saving Beauty Yu at such a critical moment, Young Master Yuan.” “I didn’t help much.” He turned to Yan Jinyu. Not only did he not save her, but he was also pulled back by the person he wanted to save. Otherwise, how could he still stand here properly? Huo Siyu smiled. “No matter what, I have to thank Young Master Yuan.”
