She was overjoyed, for her great-grandson had won more than a hundred thousand and his fortune was great.

At a slightly smaller table, Thunderbolt Battle Lady, Cui Gua, and Hua Yang were playing Dou Dizhu. The long-legged beauty's face was iron blue because she had very bad luck. She had lost half of the half a million she borrowed from Li Xianyu.

"It makes sense that Elder Hua Yang won but why is a cat's IQ is so high?" Thunderbolt Battle Lady lost another round and angrily threw the cards on the table.

"Don't underestimate Cui Hua, she has lived for such a long time, she won't be stupid," Hua Yang replied.

"Can I have the money back….?" Thunderbolt Battle Lady said in despair.

"That won't work, concede defeat." Hua Yang smiled.

"One is a cat and the other is a fallen angel, why would you need money?" Thunderbolt Battle Lady pouted.

"Of course I need money, I'll be embarra.s.sed to spend my servant's money every day. I'll hand this money to Li Xianyu for him to keep," Cui Hua said.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady's gaze flashed.

"h.e.l.lo, it's so exciting here." Sakurai Yukinako held a beer bottle, as she stood at the gate of the courtyard.

The Baoze staff gave her a look and continued to play cards. The girl was a friend of Li Xianyu's, a j.a.panese, and had nothing to do with them.

"Just a moment. I have something to attend do." Li Xianyu stopped and got up to meet her.

"I have written the strategy." Sakurai Yukinako pulled a folded A4 sheet of paper out of the pocket of her jeans.

"Thank you!" Li Xianyu couldn't wait to unfold the piece of paper.

"You guys are playing Texas? Can I join too?" Sakurai Yukinako tiptoed and her glance fell on the table.

"You can take my place," Li Xianyu said.

Sakurai Yukinako rushed over to greet the crowd politely and said she wanted to replace Li Xianyu.

"It's up to you, but you can't use my great-grandson's money." Great-Grandmother immediately swept the money won by her great-grandson to the side of table and drew a line with Sakurai Yukinako.

Great-Grandma still didn't know that Sakurai Yukinako was a direct descendant of the Sakurai family, otherwise she would send her flying with a slap.

Great-Grandma is really my helpful wife… Li Xianyu immediately rest a.s.sured after seeing this scene, as he was too shy to say it himself.

"Do you have any money, little girl?" Lady Killer asked with a smile.

"Can I use USD?" Sakurai Yukinako asked.

"Sure, but it's a little annoying to calculate the exchange rate."

"You don't have to count it all that detailed. Let's make it a whole number, 6:1 ratio." Sakurai Yukinako took out her wallet and carried out a suitcase from it. It snapped open and was full of USD.

Lady Killer was speechless.

"I actually have RMB, but I want to keep it to spend slowly. I hate running to the bank to exchange money." She said.

What the h.e.l.l, she's loaded, Li Xianyu thought enviously. He looked for a stool to sit on and looked at the strategy.

"Is it reliable?" Thunderbolt Battle Lady was behind him.

"It should be reliable." Li Xianyu looked back at her. "Why, you're not playing anymore?"

Sakurai Yukinako's intelligence collection was very strong. She was also j.a.panese, so the strategy she gave would be more detailed and true than what Baoze had.

"I'm not playing anymore. If I continue playing, I won't have the money to pay for my credit card expenditure", Thunderbolt Battle Lady said dejectedly, "I lost 200,000."

"It's okay, just have fun."

"I didn't have fun playing at all. I'm only happy if I won some money." The long-legged beauty bit her lips.

What else can I say? Li Xianyu thought.

"Then… Can you return me the money?" The long-legged beauty squatted beside him, the tantalizing curve of her perky b.u.t.tocks were shown through her jeans.

She bent her fingers. "I can return you half."

"Battle Lady…"

"Mmhmm, yes?"

"It's very hard for me to continue pursuing you like this."

I already have a spendthrift Great-Grandma.

"Have you pursued yet?" Thunderbolt Battle Lady gave him a side-eyed glance.

Li Xianyu raised his hands high. "If I pursued you, would you dare to accept?"

Thunderbolt Battle Lady smiled and patted his head, "Wait until your image is better, and we'll see."

Li Xianyu's face: (╬￣皿￣)

"Do you still want the money?"

"Dear, I like you the best, let me be your girlfriend. Look at my sincere gaze." Thunderbolt Battle Lady's face: (*＾3＾)/～☆

...

The next day.

The exciting battle for the top eight kicked off at 9 A.M., with a succession of people arriving at Lianghua Temple over the course of a few days. 

In many people's view, there was nothing much to look at before the matches of the top 16. After the top 16, it was the best matches between the players.

Li Xianyu had dark eye circles, and his eyes were bloodshot. He didn't sleep at all last night. Staying up late was nothing to demon descendants, but last night he borrowed Hua Yang's mental power to deduce the battle with Miyamoto Hideki countless times in his mind.

Battlefield Simulation!

When one's mental strength was at a certain level, it would bring about a lot of convenience. If he had more comprehensive data collection about Miyamoto Hideki's moves, he could be like a smart computer and thoroughly simulate the battle between the two, and then find a way to defeat the enemy.

The first round was Dan Chenzi VS Elsie Scott.

The battles for the top eight were no longer battles in six rings that started at the same time, but one round after another.

Every contestant was a master. Duels between masters needed to be savored carefully.

Elsie's name always reminded Li Xianyu of a beautiful lady archer in a game but Elsie was not an archer. She had a narrow western sword on her waist and was a standard curvaceous European beauty.

The only flaw was that she had too many freckles. Victoria also had freckles, but she only had a few, and it was more lovely.

Dan Chenzi was not only popular among women but male comrades were also very supportive of him. For monks such as Dan Chenzi and Jie Se, it was simply great for the majority of male compatriots, as there was less compet.i.tion.

The referee announced, "Start!"

Elsie smiled brightly. "After this match, can I go on a date with you?"

Dan Chenzi shook his head, "No."

"I remember that members from the Taoist clans can get married." Elsie frowned. "The lack of desire does not mean not want or not desire."

"But with a wife, there's absolutely no way to have a lack of desire." Dan Chenzi made his stand clear.

"Maybe I'm not pretty enough?"

"No, you are very pretty. You have a good figure too. But I just don't want to date." Dan Chenzi was single for a good reason.

"Are you two done talking? You may start." The referee was dissatisfied.

"My apologies, referee." Dan Chenzi took out a charm with runes. "Lightning!"

The sky on a sunny day was cloudless, and a loud bang rumbled, where a flash of white lightning struck.

As the lightning got nearer to Elsie, it struck a reddish-red barrier, and after penetrating the barrier, the lightning, which had been one arm thick, narrowed to the width of a fingertip.

Elsie waved away the lightning and the pale red barrier expanded, enveloping the ring. She pulled out the western sword on her waist and stabbed Dan Chenzi in the chest.

Dan Chenzi wanted to avoid, but seemed to underestimate the other party's speed. He stepped sideways to avoid, but his robes were cut, leaving a shallow wound in the chest.

Whoos.h.!.+

Twenty meters away, the part.i.tion wall was penetrated directly. If there were contestants in the next ring, their head would get blown apart and suffer for nothing.

"You said you liked me, but you don't show mercy at all." Dan Chenzi sighed.

"If I win, go on a date with me tonight." Elsie smiled seductively.

"I envy him. Until now, no beautiful lady has asked to date me." Li Xianyu was extremely envious. "What's Elsie's superpower?"

"Weaken!" Thunderbolt Battle Lady who was behind said, "She can support a special field. People inside the field would have all their abilities weakened."

Weakening buff!

Li Xianyu understood and pushed Liu Kongchao who was beside him. "Girlfriend, sit beside me."

Thunderbolt Battle Lady rolled her eyes. "Who's your girlfriend?" However, she sat down obediently.

"Serve me well, and you won't have to return me the money." Li Xianyu lay on her thighs. "I'm not watching anymore, I'm going to take a nap. I'm a little tired from yesterday night."

Thunderbolt Battle Lady's thighs were warm and bouncy. He could feel thighs that were firm but bouncy, and not hard bones.

These long legs are the best indeed, they score full marks in terms of aesthetic and usage, Li Xianyu thought. He faced the ring and the back of his head was facing Thunderbolt Battle Lady.

If his face faced outwards, it was a sleeping posture. If a photo was taken, it would be a beautiful picture.

If his face faced inwards, it was a position. If a photo was taken, it would have to be censored.

After sleeping for a while, Thunderbolt Battle Lady shook him awake gently. "It's your turn!"

Li Xianyu sat up groggily and saw that the audience were staring at him. In the ring, Miyamoto Hideki held a s.h.i.+nai and stood tall.

"Has he lost all hope, that he's actually sleeping?"

"I wonder if he can resist Miyamoto Hideki's sword slash."

"Generally speaking, although the Li family descendant might not be as good as Miyamoto Hideki, he should be able to last a few rounds with him. However, Miyamoto Hideki the inheritor of Itto-ryu. One slash decides life or death."

"The girl beside him is Thunderbolt Battle Lady, right? She's so pretty, don't tell me Li Xianyu is her boyfriend."

"Bah, a flower stuck on cow dung."

"Don't say that, the Li family descendant is also very handsome, he's a little puppy type that I fancy."

"I hope the Li family descendant wins, so that he can destroy this j.a.panese's arrogance."

Dan Chenzi and Jie Se's matches were over and the ending was expected. The two successfully promoted into the next round so the audience did not have much expectation of their fight. In the battle for the top eight, only Li Xianyu and Miyamoto Hideki's battle brought about antic.i.p.ation. 

Although there were a lot of people who didn't think Li Xianyu would win, as his ability was not as good as Miyamoto, they looked forward to his explosive power. There were too many people waiting to gloat.

Some wanted to see Li Xianyu win Miyamoto Hideki while others expected to see him get KO-ed by Miyamoto. There was also a group of people who have always been wary of him. 

This group of people felt that Li Xianyu did not show his true strength and he has been hiding it. After meeting Miyamoto Hideki, he would show his true strength.

"How long have I slept?" Li Xianyu felt a lot more energetic.

"Forty minutes." Thunderbolt Battle Lady rubbed her sore thighs. "Why didn't I see Elder Hua Yang?"

She's in my body…
