Chapter 846: Cai Xiaotang is Super Amazing

Cai Xiaotang raised her eyebrows slightly, not having expected Gong Yuxin's skill to be quite good.

The next second—"Ten rings!"

The electronic counter announced again, still hitting exactly the bullseye.

Gong Yuxin could not help but reveal a triumphant expression; as if encouraged by these two arrows, she fought more bravely as she went, firing three more arrows in a row, all achieving the good result of one ten-ring and one eight-ring.

Her speed grew faster and faster, her hands almost never stopping; as soon as she finished firing one arrow, she would immediately pick up the next.

Soon, all ten arrows were finished, and she put away her bow with satisfaction and glanced at her score.

A total of ninety-two rings.

The score could be considered quite high.

Li Xiao looked at the score on the panel, his brow already furrowed tightly.

Judging from the score, Gong Yuxin had at least practiced archery for a long time, but Xiao Tang...

Li Xiao thought for a moment, but still could not help stepping forward and whispering in Cai Xiaotang's ear: "Why don't I do it for you instead? You go to the side..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Gong Yuxin, who was to the side, said directly: "Brother Li Xiao, sister-in-law has already agreed, you wouldn't still want to take her place, would you? That's too unfair! It's not like I don't know how amazing your archery skills are! There's no way to win at all!"

Li Xiao's words stopped abruptly, and a hint of coldness could not help but instantly stain the depths of his eyes.

Just as he was about to speak, he felt someone give his chest a light push.

"You should just go back and watch; I don't need any help," Cai Xiaotang said in a somewhat haughty tone, already having set her stance as she spoke.

Luo Wanwan suddenly interjected from the side: "Xiao Tang, why don't we do it together?"

"Okay, I'm fine with that."

Cai Xiaotang had no objections to this and agreed accordingly; as she spoke, she had already drawn her bow and arrow.

Seeing this, Li Xiao had no choice but to retreat to his original position.

However, his peripheral vision caught Jiang Baobao turning to look in his direction, and she spoke in a low voice: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much; Xiao Tang won't necessarily be worse than her."

Jiang Baobao looked calm, just like she had been beside the ski slope earlier, her tone full of confidence.

Li Xiao, however, could not set his mind at ease, and just as he was about to reply, a sound suddenly came to his ears—"Ten rings!!"

The electronic counter's mechanical female voice echoed in his ears.

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment and looked over subconsciously, seeing that Cai Xiaotang had not yet lowered her bow-drawing posture, her eyes and brows carrying a look of unrestrained and confident laughter.

His heart suddenly gave a violent thump, as if clamoring to burst out of his chest.

Li Xiao looked at Cai Xiaotang like this, and for a moment, he found he could not look away.

The next second—"Ten rings!!"

The counter on Luo Wanwan's side also emitted the same sound, once again attracting everyone's attention.

Not having expected her skill to be equally good, the others all revealed expressions of surprise.

Only Li Xiao looked calm, a dark light flashing quickly across the depths of his eyes, lost in thought.

He still had an idea of Luo Wanwan's skill.

If she could score one hundred rings, that would mean... she had at least been training during these eight years, otherwise, it would be impossible to maintain such a level.

That would also happen to explain... that Luo Wanwan might really have a connection with those people above...

Even Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment and could not help but glance to the side.

She then happened to meet Luo Wanwan's eyes; she smiled at her, and then picked up the next arrow.

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly; she had originally felt very confident, but now she suddenly felt a bit unsure.

After watching Gong Yuxin shoot just now, she knew that there would be no problem for her to win.

But... if she lost to Luo Wanwan, although she wasn't participating in the bet, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

And she was certain that if she really lost, that Gong Yuxin would definitely not miss the chance to mock her!

While thinking this, she could not help but look back in Li Xiao's direction.

Her gaze then froze.

She saw that Li Xiao's gaze was not resting on her, but on Luo Wanwan.

Cai Xiaotang's heart stirred, and she hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

No.

She could not lose!

Even if Luo Wanwan was not participating in the bet, she did not want to lose to her in front of Li Xiao!

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the messy thoughts in her mind, and picked up another arrow.

She held her breath and focused, her eyes staring straight at the bullseye in front of her, her lips also subconsciously pressed tightly together.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of the arrow piercing the air rang out, and it was another direct hit on the bullseye!!

Immediately following—"Ten rings!!"

It was the same on Luo Wanwan's side, hitting the target again.

Gong Yuxin watched from the side, her expression having long since changed.

She had originally thought this competition was a sure win, but she had not expected that, besides Cai Xiaotang, even that unknown woman who was just joining in the fun would be so skilled!

Gong Yuze also saw that Cai Xiaotang might not lose; he frowned tightly, gently tugged on his younger sister's arm, and warned in a low voice: "Yuxin, if you lose the competition in a moment, you are not allowed to make a scene anymore. The bet was set by you yourself; if you continue to be willful, Brother will really be angry."

Although he was warning Gong Yuxin, there was still a hint of doting in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yuxin gave a light snort and said nothing, only pouting as she watched Cai Xiaotang's movements with rapt attention, secretly clenching her fists.

Immediately following—Cai Xiaotang fired three arrows in a row, all of which were good results of ten rings.

It was the same for Luo Wanwan; not a single arrow missed.

The atmosphere on the field was somewhat intense.

Cai Xiaotang had long since cast Gong Yuxin to the back of her mind, and the doubts in her heart were growing heavier.

Is Luo Wanwan's technique really that good?

The scores between the two of them had almost never diverged...

Cai Xiaotang felt inexplicably restless; while thinking, she once again aimed her bow and arrow at the bullseye.

Yet the moment she let go, she knew she hadn't aimed correctly!

"Eight rings!"

The sound of the electronic counter rang out; sure enough, it was off.

Cai Xiaotang lowered her eyes, preparing to adjust her mood.

Immediately after, she actually heard from the side—"Seven rings!"

She was stunned, instinctively looking up, unable to help but feel a bit surprised in her heart.

Luo Wanwan had actually missed too!

Cai Xiaotang was a bit dazed, feeling a strange sensation in her heart, and remained motionless for a long while.

"Xiao Tang, it's your turn..."

Jiang Baobao's softly whispered reminder sounded from behind; Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality, hurriedly smiled in embarrassment, and picked up another arrow.

Her originally steady thoughts, however, could not help but become a bit chaotic.

She raised her hand to aim at the bullseye, paused for two seconds, suddenly released her grip, and a dark glint flashed across her eyes.

"Eight rings!"

Sure enough, she hadn't aimed correctly again.

Cai Xiaotang closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down in the shortest amount of time possible.

Immediately after, she heard—"Nine rings!"

Luo Wanwan was the same again this time!

Cai Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked up at the two of their scores.

She then discovered that the scores of the two of them were still exactly the same.

Cai Xiaotang instinctively pressed her lips together, a premonition suddenly arising in her heart.

Why did she feel...

That Luo Wanwan was consciously controlling the score?
