Chapter 314 Liu Tianliu's Deceitful Acts
Outside the exit of the secret room, Song Qianyi and the others waited for Liu Tianliu and his group, as they still had a bet to fulfill.
Soon all the challengers came out, but Liu Tianliu was nowhere to be seen.
Song Qianyi immediately realized what he was planning, so instead of urging him, she ordered a few small cakes and milk tea and started a tea party there.
Song Qianyi and her friends sat together, their laughter filling the air. The sweet aroma of the cakes contrasted sharply with the slightly somber atmosphere outside the private room.
Shi Yu picked up a small matcha-flavored cake, took a small bite, squinted her eyes in satisfaction, and teased.
"Qianyi, your move is brilliant. Just wait and see how embarrassed they'll be when they come out."
A faint smile played on Song Qianyi's lips, her eyes revealing a hint of cunning.
"If they want to play, we'll play with them and enjoy this rare moment of leisure."
After saying that, she picked up a cup of bubble tea and took a leisurely sip.
At this moment, inside the sweltering passage filled with red mist...
Liu Tianliu and his companions pretended to be busy, sweat constantly dripping from their foreheads and cheeks, their backs already soaked through and clinging tightly to their bodies.
One of his companions couldn't stand the heat any longer and secretly tugged at Liu Tianliu's sleeve, complaining in a low voice.
"Old Liu, this can't go on. The lockout time is almost up, what if we get trapped here..."
Liu Tianliu impatiently shook off his hand, glared at him, and reprimanded him in a low voice as well.
"What's the panic! Hold on a little longer. Maybe Song Qianyi and the others chose the wrong way and didn't get out at all. They're probably in there having a hard time right now."
But he was actually becoming more and more uneasy. The increasingly hot air and pungent red mist in the passage made him more and more restless, and his movements, which he pretended to be fiddling with the mechanism, became somewhat flustered.
Outside the private room, Song Qianyi's tea party was in full swing.
They also got a deck of cards from the shopkeeper, and everyone had a great time playing, with laughter echoing throughout.
With only a few minutes left before the secret room closed, Liu Tianliu and his companions could no longer sit still.
They abandoned their disguise and hurried toward the exit.
When they stepped out of the passage looking disheveled, they were stunned to see Song Qianyi and the others sitting together, eating delicious food and playing games, looking relaxed and carefree.
Liu Tianliu was startled. It was over; the worst possible outcome had come.
Song Qianyi raised her eyes and looked at Liu Tianliu with a half-smile.
"Oh, so you've finally decided to come out? Our tea's almost gone cold, we've been waiting for you."
The crowd roared with laughter.
Song Qianyi slowly stood up and extended her hand.
"Liu Tianliu, you're a man of your word. It's time to keep your promise."
Liu Tianliu's face turned deathly pale instantly. His two companions beside him also looked troubled, exchanging glances filled with embarrassment and resentment.
"Song Qianyi, you...you're deliberately making things difficult for me!"
After struggling for a while, Liu Tianliu finally managed to utter this sentence with a flushed face, trying to save face.
His voice trembled slightly, partly from the ordeal in the stuffy tunnel, but even more so from the panic in his heart at that moment.
Song Qianyi raised an eyebrow slightly, the smile in her eyes fading, replaced by a coldness.
"Liu Tianliu, you made that bet with such conviction back then, what, are you trying to renege now?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear, drawing the attention of everyone around her once again, who cast curious and expectant glances at her.
Shi Yu and the others put down their cards and cakes, stood up, and walked a few steps to Song Qianyi's side, forming an invisible support group.
Gu Didi crossed her arms and echoed.
"That's right, a real man keeps his word!"
Seeing the way everyone was acting, Liu Tianliu became increasingly flustered.
If I were to act in accordance with the bet today, I would have completely lost face.
"Hmph, this bet was absurd to begin with. It was just something I said casually back then, so how could I take it seriously!"
Liu Tianliu braced himself and stubbornly tried to argue his way out of the matter, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his inner unease.
Upon hearing this, Song Qianyi's eyes instantly sharpened like an eagle's. She took a step forward, closing in on Liu Tianliu, and said coldly.
"Just something offhand? There are so many eyes watching here, you dare to do it but not admit it?"
Her aura suddenly intensified, and the surrounding air seemed to cool down.
Shi Yu and the others also moved forward, putting invisible pressure on Liu Tianliu and his group.
