Hu Liena said to Yan.
Only ugly women would care if others called them ugly—because they really were ugly. But true beauties wouldn't mind, as anyone with eyes could see they were beautiful.
As someone who considered herself a great beauty and had absolute confidence in her charm, Hu Liena naturally wouldn't care if someone called her ugly—unless the person saying it was someone who could make her heart flutter.
"Hmph~! I'll let you off this time for Nana's sake!"
Hearing his goddess's words,Yan glared at Feng Xiaotian and Mu Yang, threw out a harsh remark, then sat back down.
Mu Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "Let us off? Redhead, how about we make a bet?"
Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu: "..."
The brother and sister were also redheads.
"Redhead? Me?"
Yan's eyes widened, and his face instantly darkened.
It was true that he had red hair.
But the way Mu Yang said it, it was obviously meant as an insult!
Could he tolerate this? Absolutely not!
He immediately slammed the table and snapped back without hesitation, "Blue-haired freak! Who are you calling redhead?"
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er: "..."
Mu Yang: "..."
Oops—almost forgot. He's a redhead, but I'm a bluehead too.
But then again, out of the ten people present—three had red hair, three had blue hair, two had silver hair, one had orange hair, and one had blond hair.
Not a single one had black hair.
So there was no point in arguing over who had the most unusual hair color.
Waving his hand dismissively, Mu Yang said, "Forget about the hair. Just answer me—do you dare to bet?"
"Say it. I'll agree to anything!"
Since they were the guests here, and as long as the stakes were fair, Yan—one of the leading figures of the younger generation in the Soul Hall—had nothing to fear.
Besides, with his goddess watching from the side, there was no way he could back down!
"We came to Spirit City to participate in the Soul Master Tournament. So let's bet on who will win the championship!"
Mu Yang smirked and continued, "To be honest, I find your red hair quite annoying. So, if any of our three teams—Blazing, Sky Water, or Divine Wind—wins the championship, you'll have to shave your head completely bald! On the other hand, if the Soul Hall team wins, I'll shave mine."
He spoke in a teasing tone.
If the stakes were too high,Yan might not dare to accept, or he simply wouldn't be able to.
But a bet like this—one that wasn't a big deal but was still quite humiliating—was exactly the kind of bet Yan was most likely to agree to.
"Heh, perfect! I don't like your blue hair either. I'm in! But this bet is too small—it needs a little extra!"
Seeing that the stakes weren't too high and that even if he lost, it would just be a bit embarrassing, Fei Yanyan didn't hesitate at all.
He even planned to raise the stakes.
"Too small? Alright, name it. As long as it's fair, I'll match whatever you add."
Mu Yang said casually.
"You outsiders may not have much etiquette, but I have to admit, you do have some strength."
"In this year's Soul Master Tournament, the only teams truly qualified to compete with our Soul Hall team for the championship are you guys."
"My added bet isn't too much either—if our Soul Hall team wins and claims this year's championship, then in the final championship match, the team that loses to us, as long as they can still speak, must say that Nana is the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Yan lifted his chin as if the Soul Hall team had already secured the championship title.
Hearing this, Mu Yang and the other six couldn't help but twitch their lips, while even Hu Liena, sitting nearby, blushed slightly.
After all, the championship match was the most anticipated battle of the entire Soul Master Tournament. The number of spectators present might not be overwhelming, but the lineup of important guests—including her own teacher, Bibi Dong—would undoubtedly be significant.
To have their defeated opponents publicly declare her "the most beautiful woman in the world" in front of so many people—tsk, that was a little embarrassing!
"What do you all think?"
Mu Yang turned to Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian.
Although it was impossible for the championship match to be between the Soul Hall team and the Divine Wind team, Mu Yang still made sure not to exclude Feng Xiaotian.
Shui Bing'er nodded, while Feng Xiaotian immediately declared, "I, Feng Xiaotian, accept on behalf of the Divine Wind team! But Huo Wu is the most beautiful!"
Indeed, a devoted admirer remained a devoted admirer.
Seeing this, Mu Yang turned back to Yan and said, "No problem with the added bet, but we need to agree on the details first."
"For example, what if your Soul Hall team fails to reach the final championship match and loses to us beforehand? And another thing—three teams are involved in this bet, but in the end, only one will face you in the finals. If we lose, we praise Hu Liena, but if you lose, what do you do?"
"We will never lose!" Yan immediately declared loudly.
"Victory and defeat are common in battle. Until the dust settles, don't make conclusions too soon."
"Since this is a bet, we need to clarify everything beforehand. Otherwise, it will just make me think that if you lose, you'll try to go back on your word."
Mu Yang said calmly.
Hearing this, Yan became furious. "How dare you imply that our dignified Soul Hall team would go back on our word?!"
At this moment, Xie Yue, the captain of the Soul Hall team, waved his hand and said, "Our Soul Hall team will never renege on a bet. If we lose to you, then you decide what we have to do."
Xie Yue found this bet quite interesting. As Hu Liena's older brother, if they won the championship and forced their defeated opponents to publicly praise his sister, that would be a rather satisfying outcome.
At the same time, any team that could make it to the final match and compete with the Soul Hall team would undoubtedly be among the most talented Soul Masters on the continent. If they didn't fall along the way, they would definitely become great figures in the future.
Years down the line, if Mu Yang and the others became top-tier experts, and they brought up this old bet again, it would surely enhance the prestige of the Soul Hall.
As a member of the Soul Hall, Xie Yue believed this was something he should do—and do well.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Yang said, "Here's the deal—there are no girls in the Divine Wind team, and in my Blazing team, only Huo Wu is female. So, if your Soul Hall team loses to us at any point in the tournament, whether in the finals or not, the moment the match ends, you must praise Huo Wu."
"If you lose to the Sky Water team, then you have to praise all the girls in the Sky Water team."
"This does put us at an advantage, since you must win the championship to claim victory in this bet, while we only need to defeat you at some point in the tournament. But I'm sure your Soul Hall team won't mind, right? After all, the Soul Academy is known as the strongest advanced Soul Master academy on the continent."
As soon as Mu Yang finished speaking, Feng Xiaotian's battle spirit immediately ignited.
If he could lead the Divine Wind team to defeat the Soul Hall team and force them to praise Huo Wu in front of so many distinguished guests after the match—surely Huo Wu would be very happy, right?
