I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 2821: Chapter 1503: After Planning for the Gambling City, I Have a Scheme to Abduct Fuyu_3

Miss Li maintained her composure, “Come back with me to the sword tower.”

The Five Domains Spectators rolled their eyes en masse, and Xu Xiaoshou staggered.

Who taught you to break off sentences like that?

Yet the ancient swordsmen’s thoughts were all beginning to churn.

The sword tower was too ethereal, elusive, even more mysterious than Abyss Island.

There were rumors that it contained some sort of Sword God inheritance, but whether it was true or false, real or illusion, no one knew.

Others said that the sword tower was suppressing a demon, yet whether this was true or false remained unknown as well.

And now, the Sword Human of the sword tower, Li Fuyu, had appeared in the world with only one thought in mind—to bring Xu Xiaoshou back with her…

What are they trying to do?

“Go back to the sword tower? What for?” Xu Xiaoshou’s eyeballs spun as a plan formed in his mind.

Li Fuyu said nothing further, but lightly lifted the sword in her hand, signaling not to waste words and that all would be clear after the fight.

“No, no, no…”

Xu Xiaoshou changed his approach, pointing to the empty basin beneath his feet, “I fought with Beibei over a bet involving a city, what’s your wager for fighting with me?”

Li Fuyu shook her head, “No bet.”

Wow, you really are a model student, aren’t you!

But it wasn’t about whether to bet or not—it was a question of fairness!

Xu Xiaoshou was amused. “So you mean, I lose I go with you back to the sword tower, but if I win, I get nothing?”

Li Fuyu parted her lips, appearing to realize for the first time the unfairness, and then immediately closed her mouth.

“Ah?” Xu Xiaoshou was momentarily stunned.

So, what now?

You’re going to stay silent?

What a marvelous way to solve a problem!

The scene suddenly entered an impasse…

Speaking of stubbornness, Xu Xiaoshou actually was the biggest mule. If you won’t talk, then I won’t talk either; let’s see who feels awkward.

Thus, after more than ten breaths, Li Fuyu for the first time in her life experienced what ‘discomfort’ felt like.

Xu Xiaoshou’s gaze was fixed on her.

The surrounding ancient swordsmen and demi-saints were staring at her as well.

And probably the entire audience in front of the Dao Imparting Mirror were watching her too.

She finally realized that this was not an issue she could dodge by keeping silent, and her mature face flushed slightly, struggling to say, “I don’t have… um, a wager.”

Xu Xiaoshou’s gaze swished downward, glancing at the sword in her hand, “You do!”

One of the twelve swords of the sword tower, Hu.

Feng Zhongzui had just introduced it, and Xu Xiaoshou was extremely keen on it.

He didn’t know when, but he’d awakened a ‘stamp collecting’ obsession, wanting to gather all the famed swords—though only in thought, as he couldn’t be bothered to actually pursue them unless it was convenient.

Li Fuyu’s expression returned to being cold as ice, she firmly shook her head, “This isn’t possible.”

“This isn’t possible, that isn’t possible, you want this, you want that too, Miss Li, you’re just like Elder Zhong, insatiably greedy,” Xu Xiaoshou indicated the explosion-like hair in the distance.

Zhong Yuanzi turned his head down in shame.

Li Fuyu turned her head to ponder for a while, then said, “If you win, the sword tower will lend itself to you for a day of free activity, which will be greatly beneficial.”

Upon hearing this declaration, all the ancient swordsmen’s minds stirred once more.

Li Fuyu undoubtedly had a way to return to the sword tower, could take people with her, and knew most if not all of its secrets!

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said such things—right from the start, she had spoken from the perspective akin to that of the tower owner.

Indeed…

They always say ‘Sword Human of the sword tower.’

But what specifically are their duties? Beyond the speculations of outsiders, what are they actually?

This train of thought passed through the minds of many interested parties, then was quickly forgotten.

Xu Xiaoshou also forgot about it.

But he couldn’t forget about what was gained or lost, and after hearing her offer, laughed out loud, “If you win, I go to the sword tower, if you lose, I still go to the sword tower; so in the end, it’s good for you, not for me, right?”

“No, you’ll be free to move around,” Li Fuyu stated earnestly, “for one day.”

“Oh, so it’s the difference between you catching me to confine, and letting me move freely for one day before confining me?”

“It’s not about confining…

“Then what is it?”

“…”

Li Fuyu pursed her lips, looked down at her chest, and said no more.

She couldn’t outtalk Xu Xiaoshou.

The crowd was dumbstruck for a moment, then they realized, maybe the best way to deal with Xu Xiaoshou was to play the mute? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the very least, he would have fewer flaws to seize on, and he wouldn’t aggressively attack people…

But Xu Xiaoshou was no pushover.

He was only troubled for a brief moment before he spoke again:

“Let’s do this instead, I don’t want your ‘Hu,’ let’s have a more equal contest, one that is absolutely fair.”

“The stakes have been set by you; if you win, I’m yours.”

“So, if I win, you’re mine, how about that?”
