After giving Hu Xiaobei a lingering look, Murong Qingqing spoke softly, "It seems you are quite confident!"
With a confident smile, Hu Xiaobei explained, "Of course! I live here, and I used to climb these mountains quite often, so naturally, I am somewhat confident!"
"Then let’s see who can win!"
"No problem!"
While they were talking, the two got ready, and soon, they began heading towards the summit!
At the beginning, Hu Xiaobei didn’t pay much attention to Murong Qingqing, but gradually, he realized that what she had said was true; she really had trained frequently because he couldn’t widen the gap between them, and he even felt she was getting closer and closer!
"Awesome, my streamer!"
Admiring her thus, Hu Xiaobei stopped holding back and quickly started to accelerate, creating a wide gap between them instantly!
Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s speed increase drastically left Murong Qingqing a bit frustrated. After hastily taking a few steps to catch up, she felt exhausted, and in that instant, Murong Qingqing knew she couldn’t win!
Previously, Murong Qingqing really had trained regularly, so she believed she couldn’t lose, but now she realized she had been too optimistic—Hu Xiaobei was much more formidable than she had imagined!
"I can’t afford to lose; it’s too embarrassing!"
Murong Qingqing clenched her teeth in frustration!
At this point, Murong Qingqing didn’t care about the bet anymore; what mattered to her was her dignity!
Murong Qingqing was a stubborn and strong-willed girl, so knowing she might lose made her very annoyed and unwilling!
Just then, Murong Qingqing noticed a small path that seemed to offer a quicker way up the mountain!
"I’ll take that way!"
Thinking thus, Murong Qingqing quickly sprang into action!
...
"It seems like I’ve left her far behind!"
Thinking so, Hu Xiaobei turned his head with a big smile, intending to go easy on her for a while, but as he turned, he was stunned!
Because he realized that Murong Qingqing, who should have been behind him, wasn’t there!
"What’s going on? Did she give up since she knew she couldn’t beat me and went back down the mountain?"
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei looked down the mountain, but he couldn’t spot Murong Qingqing!
"Could she have taken a different path!"
Thinking so, Hu Xiaobei quickly scanned his surroundings, and soon, he saw her at the nine o’clock position, approaching the summit...
"Dammit!"
With a twitch of his mouth, Hu Xiaobei hastened his pace, knowing losing would be too shameful!
...
"Is Hu Xiaobei a rabbit or what?"
Previously reveling in her little victory, Murong Qingqing felt some movement behind her, looked back, and saw Hu Xiaobei rapidly closing in!
This startled Murong Qingqing, and without hesitation, she sped up!
But soon, she noticed Hu Xiaobei was slowly closing the distance again!
"No, I’m going to lose!"
Knowing she would soon be caught up with, she muttered resentfully!
The next moment, she had a sudden idea!
And with that, she quickly threw herself to the ground...
And simultaneously, a scream escaped her lips...
