Dark Moon Era

Chapter 314: The Ending Of The Competition

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Desperado Ring, Area S, Junior division ring area.

The whole area was so silent that one could even hear the drop of a needle.

The commoners were silent because they never thought that under that ugly black mask would be the face of such unrivaled beauty.

No words could describe her attraction appropriately. Her beautiful face should not have existed in this dark era. Her looks were so beautiful that it formed a drastic contrast with this damned era. At first glance, one would assume that the beautiful face was mercy from the heavens, hence the unrivaled beauty.

Her beauty was suffocating as it silenced everyone. She made everyone feel that the softest of words would ruin her unearthly presence.

As for her stand ruining the fairness of the ring? Was it important? Not anymore!

What about the young geniuses?

They themselves were proud and somewhat egocentric people. They must have gone through a lot to be in Darkness Port, so why would they be shaken by just a pretty face?

It must be difficult for them to accept her intrusion.

However, they were even quieter than the common audience because...

It was the queen!

A while ago, the queen’s face and name occupied the headlines, front pages and every other possible segment of all the major newspapers in the world. Any topic that revolved around her exploded!

She was the center of attention in the Moon Chasing Celebration at the True Capital! She possessed the most mysterious power, and even all the well-known figures of the world were afraid of her.

Who could possibly rival her? Who would not know her?

What a lousy joke! Every single one of the young geniuses present in the arena was all the center of investment as a huge amount of resources had been poured into them to aid their growth!

It was impossible for them to rise up to the ranks of the geniuses by relying on their talent alone. Not even Tang Ling could do it!

Therefore, since they were the people who had received endless amounts of resources, how could they not know about the news or the simplest of information?

Of course, Tang Ling was an exception because he did not even know his face was on the front page of the newspapers.

“Are there any more complaints?” The queen’s voice was cold and somewhat flat. The moment she opened her mouth, it felt like a frigid wind swept over the arena.

Even though her voice froze everyone’s hearts, it did not stop people from having a trace of compassion for her as they gazed upon her. Even the women in the arena shared the same feeling.

“Great, that settles it.” Higan turned around to Tang Ling, smiling and behaving like a naive and spoiled young girl. She sounded surprised and a little delighted as though she was trying to seek praise from Tang Ling.

What happened? Was it a face-changing performance?

The people in the audience seat could not grasp the situation, yet unknowingly, they were affected by the queen’s emotion as sincere smiles graced their faces.

As for the geniuses beneath the ring, they were having complicated thoughts. Since the queen had appeared, the identity of the person in the ring was self-explanatory.

Tang Long’s ascension was almost unstoppable! He was already outstandingly powerful and was as perfect as Apollo, the God of the Sun. With a queen by his side, loving him, it was...

The rumors were true. Tang Long and the queen were already together even though she did not show any signs of them being together at the Moon Chasing Celebration. However, now when they came to think of it, they assumed she was just trying to hold back her affection in front of the elders.

Privately, she would always behave like a little girl in front of Tang Long. Her love for him was deep and brazen.

“Young Master Long?” Draconic Nine looked utterly bitter as he moved away from the crowd and reached for his communication device.

The lady in the ring was none other than the queen! The one and only queen!

The queen was the only person in the world that could not be copied! Even if someone was able to imitate her unrivaled beauty, her temperament and behavior were one of a kind. No one would be able to copy that.

However, was the person in the dog-headed face cloth Tang Long? No, it was not!

The Stardust Sixteen had grown up with Tang Long! How could a mere cloth fool them? No matter how Tang Long disguised himself, they would be able to recognize him.

If the person on stage was not Tang Long, who could it be?

Black hair, Precise Instinct...The answer was eventually revealed!

Draconic Nine looked even more bitter and uglier than before. His fingers were shaking when he dialed the number on his communication device.

If the answer was really what he thought, why would the queen be with that person?

Judging from the looks of it, were they in love? What would Young Master Long think about this?

Draconic Nine suddenly hung up. He could not imagine what kind of fear this outcome would bring. As a matter of fact, not only Draconic Nine but every other member of the Stardust Sixteen also reacted in a complicated way.

In fact, they should have known better, should they not? When the person in the ring showed off his Precise Instinct, they should have noticed something amiss. The second they saw the peerless temperament of the girl, things had just gone out of control.

However, no matter how crazy things went, Tang Ling knew nothing at all. He was only curious about Higan’s identity.

The commanding power, the pride and arrogance that cared for nobody...who could possibly carry that?

On the other hand, Tang Ling was also a simple person who would easily acknowledge the people who were around him.

As long as he acknowledged her, was her identity even important?

Higan would not harm him even though her actions were a little rash.

With the thought in mind, Tang Ling stood up and walked up to her. He softly stroked her hair like how he used to stroke San San.

“You really did it this time. Are you that worried that I can’t win all three matches?” Tang Ling smiled, his eyes peaceful and calm.

Higan stuck her tongue out at him.

“Fine, since things have turned out this way, I guess we’ll have to work together and cheat the organizer out of the 300 Black Sea coins. I’ll give you half of it.” Tang Ling grinned.

“I don’t want half of the money. You’ll just have to give me a present.” Higan also smiled back at him, slightly squinting her eyes. She seemed to enjoy the feeling of Tang Ling’s touch on her head, and she also liked how calm and casual he was.

No matter how far she went, Tang Ling did not care. He would always stand by her peacefully. It somehow felt familiar to the point that it felt like the memories that came from the bottom of her soul even though she could not remember what kind of memories were that.

“Ahem...you two, do you think it’s appropriate to do this in public? The competition is still going on.” The Wailing Pierrot was rendered speechless by the situation. The moment Higan removed her mask, he already recognized her as the queen.

The terrifying queen!

The Wailing Pierrot had a special identity. The information that he grasped might be even more comprehensive than some core high-ranking members of a certain organization in the world.

In short, he could not afford to offend the queen.

“Oh, I totally forgot about it.” The queen presented a joyful smile at the Wailing Pierrot just because of Tang Ling. She then looked at Tang Ling and declared, “I surrender.”

“Fine, I’ll surrender the next time. How does that sound?” Tang Ling smiled without being overly concerned.

“I’m begging the two of you. Please don’t make us set up new rules just for the two of you the next time.” The Wailing Pierrot tried to weep but failed to shed a tear.

Tang Ling and Higan smiled at each other.

The people beneath the ring were all speechless. Both Tang Long, who disguised himself as Mad Tiger, and the queen had no one else in their eyes but each other. They talked to no one but each other, and they cared about no one but each other...

It felt only natural because the two of them were made for each other, were they not?

“Great. After all that has happened in the Desperado Ring today, we finally welcome a dramatic end! Just like our lives, the ring is also full of twists and unexpected outcomes. Who knew what could happen in the next second?” the Wailing Pierrot ended the conversation with a helpless tone.

“No matter how the third and final match turns out, Mad Tiger has proven himself to us strongly! I believe no one will forget how he ran over his opponent during the first match and how astonishing the second match was! It is a little regretful but I suppose he is also worthy of the title.”

A great host should be like the Wailing Pierrot. No matter what happened, he tried his best to keep the situation together.

Tang Ling ignored what the Wailing Pierrot said and whispered into Higan’s ear, “Don’t do this next time. You know I have my pride...”

“Then, why didn’t you stop me? And you even acted like it’s nothing,” Higan curiously asked.

Tang Ling did not say anything and smiled instead.

Yeah, why didn’t I stop her?

Maybe because it was Higan and maybe he knew she was trying to protect him, so he did not have the heart to disappoint her or make her sad.

He thought his pride and honor were important, but it seemed like it was not as important as Higan’s feelings.

As for why he cared about her feelings so much?

Tang Ling did not want to know why because it was an instinct. He did not need the answer.
