Chapter 149: Let the Dog Fight Begin!

F*CK!

He would not have known all that if he did not learn Dog Language, but having already learned it, he never imagined a dog’s world to be so interesting.

“Hey! Ye Lingchen, are you listening to me? Aren’t you going to gamble?” Huang Xiaomeng urged Ye Lingchen when she noticed him ignoring her.

“Alright.” Ye Lingchen had some ideas and nodded.

“Hehehe, just listen to me when the time comes. I guarantee you’ll make a lot of money!” Huang Xiaomeng’s big eyes stared at Ye Lingchen and she had a harmless smile on her face.

In fact, she was ready to con the sh*t out of Ye Lingchen.

“Eh, Xiaomeng, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” A young boy with similarly-colored yellow hair came over.

In his arms was a woman with long blue hair. Her foundation and eyeliner were incredibly thick.

“My hands were feeling a bit restless so I came to play.” Huang Xiaomeng said casually and continued, “Leopard, why is it only the two of you? Where’s the others?”

“They’re over there, studying the breed of dogs that they have this time and planning how to make their bets,” Leopard said with a smile. His gaze gave off disdainful energy as he looked at Ye Lingchen. “Why didn’t you come here with Brother Chu today? It’s dangerous for two girls to be at such a place. ”

He could not control his gaze from lingering momentarily on Li Muxue. A stunning woman like her made for an easy target.

“We have a bodyguard now, don’t we?” Huang Xiaomeng looked at Ye Lingchen.

“Him?” Leopard shook his head condescendingly. “Xiaomeng, you’re lucky us bros came over today too. You wouldn’t need to worry about anyone else bullying you two girls.”

His insinuation was obvious—Ye Lingchen was unreliable.

As they were talking, another group of people came.

It comprised of three men and two women who donned a similar style of clothing and sported similar hairstyles. With all of them gathered together, it looked almost like cosplay.

They all had a strong aura of adolescent rebellion and cool expressions. They gave off a kind of energy that seemed to suggest they had the whole world in the palm of their hands.

“Xiaomeng, how did you find the time to come and play today? Yo, you even brought two new friends!” One of them said with a smile. He eyed Li Muxue, and said naughtily, “Hurry up and introduce them.”

“Enough, all of you! Sister Muxue isn’t someone you can hit on! F*ck off!” Huang Xiaomeng hugged Li Muxue and huffed.

The others turned to the ever-quiet Ye Lingchen. “And you are…”

“His name is Ye Lingchen. He’s our bodyguard today.” Huang Xiaomeng said before introducing the group one by one. “This guy’s nickname is Eagle, the son of Jianhua Group. This is Snake, the young master of Huayu Company, and this…”

Every person had their own nickname, which was all based on very fierce animals. Perhaps they regarded that as something cool.

Besides, they were all young masters living around Capital city. They were worth at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and they loved to seek excitement since they had too much time on their hands.

“Ye Lingchen, if you serve any one of us here, you can get much more from us than from the moneybags behind you.” Huang Xiaomeng suddenly uttered that to Ye Lingchen after making the introductions.

Ye Lingchen’s expression sunk. ‘The hell does that mean? Lunatic.’

The group soon huddled together and erupted with liveliness. They talked and laughed, with their discussion centering around dogfighting. An exchange of views then followed.

“It’s rare to see the Chinese Tibetan Mastiff enter the arena. Its combat strength is worthy of its reputation.”

“Xiaomeng, you didn’t manage to see it, but the last edition’s Dog King was incredibly fierce. It chased the other dogs just to fight them, winning three games in a row!”

“I specially made a name list for their combat effectiveness. When it’s time for the game, just bet according to my list, and you’ll get it right!”

Huang Xiaomeng glanced at Ye Lingchen before waving to the group.

The group of people gradually moved away while pretending to continue their discussion.

“Xiaomeng, what’s your purpose for calling us over?”

“I want you to help me con someone!” Huang Xiaomeng gritted her teeth and said, “It’s that Ye Lingchen!”

“No problem! I love conning people. What did he do to offend you?” everyone eagerly questioned.

“That’s none of your concern.” Huang Xiaomeng waved her hand and said: “When the game starts, we’ll specifically recommend losing dogs to him. I want him to lose everything, even his underwear!”

“Easy-peasy. He’s a newcomer. Who else are we gonna dupe if it isn’t him?!”

“Hahaha, you came to the right person. My nickname is Pro Conman! Chill!”

…

Apart from them, everyone there was in the midst of a discussion as well, except for Ye Lingchen and Li Muxue.

Ye Lingchen saw through the innate qualities of those fighting dogs in just a short while. It could not be helped, as he knew how to speak Dog Language.

Li Muxue never once thought of participating in a gamble. The environment made her a little uncomfortable. She glanced at Ye Lingchen beside her and tugged softly at his clothes.

In a small voice, she said, “That… Whatever you saw last time, it’s not what you think.”

“I assure you, I didn’t see anything,” Ye Lingchen immediately answered in all seriousness.

Li Muxue’s ears were all red, “I’m not talking about that! I mean, my sexual orientation is normal, it’s just… It’s just that… Xiaomeng dragged me into it.”

“You were forced?!”

Ye Lingchen inhaled sharply. It was a crazy world.

“No!”

Li Muxue nearly choked on her saliva. Embarrassed, she explained, “Xiaomeng… She kinda likes me and loves to try fresh and exciting things. She begged me many times and after that, we… We… just tried it…”

Ye Lingchen nodded without expressing the reservations he had in his heart.

‘Haha, pardon me, but I’ve seen it three times. That’s a bit too frequent to be considered just trying out. Could it be that…you got addicted after a few tries?’

It was then that Huang Xiaomeng and the others came over after making some covert plans. They looked at Ye Lingchen’s eyes and he felt that something was off.

“Everyone, the dog fight is about to start, please prepare yourselves!”

The emcee began to speak. His voice roused the crowd when he announced loudly, “Next up, please look at the electronic screen. What kind of matchup will the first fight be? Stay tuned and keep your eyes peeled!”

As soon as he finished his sentence, a large black screen lit up suddenly at the top. Red words began appearing—they were the names of all the dogs!

The names flickered quickly and finally stopped when a ‘ding’ sound appeared!

Little White VS Little Black!

Immediately, the cages holding Little White and Little Black were pushed forward slowly.

“This game will be an interesting one. The Pitbull may be small, but it has strong muscles, a strong bite, and long-lasting endurance. It can kill two shepherd dogs in three minutes! As for the Tosa, they’re known as devils and are a banned breed! ”

“F*ck man, so explosive right at the beginning. Whoa, whoa, whoa! I wonder who will win.”

“This is a real battle between giants. It’ll be difficult to place your bet on this.”

…

Everyone felt a mixture of excitement and doubt. It was difficult to decide in that split second.

“Next up, it’s time to place your bets. Whichever dog you’re optimistic about, you can place your bets with one of our staff. Trust your judgment! The opportunity to get rich is in your hands!” The emcee lit up with pure magnetic charm…
