Amelia took a shallow sip with a wooden spoon, only to feel that the mouth was warm, and the soup exuded the sweetness and meat aroma of fruits and vegetables.

She couldn't help but scoop another spoonful, and then she couldn't control it, and drank the whole plate of soup.

Seeing that the two of them were so satisfied, the old man smiled kindly.

Just as the two were about to leave, a group of people approached them.

The leader was dressed in fine clothes, about thirty years old, and surrounded by a group of guards in armor.

The man walked up to Lu Ming and said in a contemptuous tone, "You are Lu Ming, the one who was chosen by Princess Betty?"

Lu Ming stood up and nodded, "That's right." ”

The stall owner's old man's eyes widened, he saw that Lu Ming's identities were not simple, but he didn't expect that he would be the husband chosen by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Then he became worried, the group of people in front of him was obviously not good, but it was a pity that he was just a bad old man who was about to die, and he couldn't help the two likable young men.

"Listen, I'm Barlow, Prince of the Duchy of Gaia. I am imperative for Princess Betty's wedding this time, so it is better to advise you to quit. ”

Lu Ming showed a helpless look, and it was because Betty was involved in trouble.

Does it really have to be a princess to match the prince? First Kirar, and this time another Barlow.

The subordinates behind Barlow were all strong men, especially the one next to him, and the momentum on his body made Lu Ming frightened, I am afraid that his strength has reached the holy level.

However, it is understandable that Barlow is said to be the only heir of the Duchy of Gaia, and it is natural to have a saint-level powerhouse by his side to protect him.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "I know, do you have anything else?"

Lu Ming's attitude was beyond Barlow's expectations, he was not as angry as he imagined.

This made Barlow hesitate, behind Lu Ming's smile, whether there was fearlessness or something else, he didn't know.

After thinking for a moment, Barlow said proudly: "In that case, I challenge you. The victorious side will marry Princess Betty. ”

It seems that watching the duel today aroused the blood in Lu Ming's heart, and he could have ignored it.

"What's the challenge?"

Seeing that Lu Ming agreed, Amelia hurriedly grabbed his arm. Lu Ming patted the back of her hand lightly, signaling her not to worry.

Barlow said: "As a person with status, of course, you must fully show your strength, so as to show that the winner has the ability to marry Princess Betty." ”

Lu Ming nodded in agreement with him.

Barlow continued: "So the challenge is divided into three games, which are Fighting Slaves, Fighting Pets, and Fighting People. In other words, we have to compare our respective slaves, demon pets, and our own strength. ”

Lu Ming once again used his instinct to probe Barlow's strength, and after a while, he smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

Barlow laughed and said, "Well, judging from your courage to take on the challenge, you at least deserve to be looked at by Princess Betty." I'm not going to let you lose too badly. See you in the Colosseum three days later. ”

After saying this, Barlow didn't even say hello, laughed and left, along with his men.

Amelia said angrily, "How can you promise him, what if you lose?"

"People are talking about this, how can I back down. Besides, don't you have faith in me?"

Amelia pouted, "The location of the challenge is in the Colosseum, and when the time comes, I am sure that the entire Saigapur will come to watch." In case you lose, I'll see how you end!"

Lu Ming couldn't help pinching her nose, "Look at what worries you, am I the kind of person who is easily defeated?"

Amelia waved his dishonest hand away, and said angrily: "Who is worried about you? I am afraid that Her Royal Highness the Princess will blame you." ”

The old man on the side saw that the two were still fighting there, and couldn't help but worry: "Is it really okay? After all, he is a prince, and his slave and demon pet must be powerful." Even if you can win, you can't win. ”

Lu Ming grinned.

"Don't worry, old man. I'm sure I'll win, and I'll take Betty with me to taste the delicious broth you made. ”

Seeing that the young man was so confident, the old man was no longer worried. Let's talk to them again.

From the conversation, Lu Ming knew that the old man had a difficult life and two children to support, so he kept this secret in his heart.

As soon as he returned to the palace, a maid heard the news.

"Her Royal Highness is already waiting for your lordship in the dormitory. ”

Amelia was reluctant to glance at Lu Ming, turned to leave, and returned to her own room.

Lu Ming came to the princess's dormitory and pushed the door in.

As soon as she entered, she saw the slim Betty flying over, she jumped on Lu Ming, locked Lu Ming's waist with her legs, and wrapped her arms around Lu Ming's neck.

Betty was overjoyed: "I have successfully broken through to the Great Swordsman! Sixteen-year-old Great Swordsman, you can praise me!"

"Awesome! My little Betty is the best!"

Betty flattened her mouth when she heard this: "Don't say I'm small!"

She let go of one hand, lifted one side of her chest, and said coquettishly, "Look, it's getting a lot bigger." ”

Lu Ming coughed twice in embarrassment and put her on the seat.

"I have something important to tell you. ”

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming stated the matter of Barlow today.

Betty frowned and began to think about what to do.

"Since he has put forward such a challenge, he must be prepared. We had to guard against it. ”

Betty complained, "If you lose, will you really give me to him as a wife?"

Lu Ming smiled when he heard this, and lightly scratched her delicate nose.

"If I do lose, it's a big deal that the two of us elope. ”

"That's not good, when the time comes, the father and the queen mother will lose face, and they will definitely find me at the ends of the earth and teach me a hard lesson. ”

Lu Ming comforted: "Don't worry, you can't lose this time." I have carefully investigated the strength of that person, at most he is at the level of a junior great swordsman, and it is not a problem to defeat him. Another pet, the little fox is definitely no problem. ”

Hearing Lu Ming's explanation, Betty was relieved.

"In this way, the only thing to worry about is fighting slaves. ”

Lu Ming spread his hands, "I don't have a problem, now I don't have a slave." ”

Betty analyzed: "A saint-level powerhouse is arrogant, and it is impossible to be willing to be a human slave. So his slaves are at most the Great Swordsman level. So we can go to the slave market and buy a slave of the Great Swordsman level. ”

Lu Ming's heart moved, and he thought of a person, the thin woman who relied on spiritual magic to win in the gladiatorial arena.

"Can slaves in the Colosseum be bought?"

Betty was puzzled, not knowing why Lu Ming would ask such a question.

Lu Ming explained: "I went to the gladiatorial arena with Amelia today to watch, and I found a very talented slave. ”

"In that case, I'll do it. ”
