Chapter 398: Bounty Tournament
Lan Xuan couldn't believe it. This little wretch didn't seem very intelligent at all, yet she could dance And she danced so well!Yin Hang looked at the girl in front of him, who was as delicate as a f...In the vast stables.
Horses stood there in neat rows, flicking their manes and snorting occasionally.
"Sir, these new arrivals are over here."
The staff introduced the newly arrived horses to He Chao.
He picked out a few and had the staff lead them to the viewing area for a few laps. Finally, he chose an European Thoroughbred.
He led the horse to Shen Qing's side and asked, "Do you like this one"
The horse has well-proportioned limbs, a graceful extended shoulder line, and a fine chestnut coat that is healthy, lustrous, and vibrant.
Even though Shen Qiong didn't understand horses, she could tell just by feeling it that this was a fine horse.
She reached out and touched it, exclaiming excitedly, "I like it! Let's go horseback riding!"
-The racecourse was brightly lit and bustling with people, a scene of lively excitement.
From afar, you could see a sea of people, packed tightly together, creating an oppressive blackness.
Shen Qiong couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many people."
A staff member walking alongside the horse said, "There's a bounty event tonight, so there are more people than usual."
"What kind of prize-giving competition" Shen Qiong immediately became interested.
Last month, a high-quality Arabian stallion arrived. It was extremely wild and unruly, injuring several people. Even professional horse trainers couldn't handle it. The stable offered a reward of two million for whoever could tame it.
As they talked, they had already reached the riding yard.
At the horse racing center, a large horse roared like it was possessed and galloped at breakneck speed.
The man on horseback looked panicked, gripping the reins tightly. He didn't last even a minute before being thrown off violently and landing several meters away.
Even those close by could clearly hear the sickening crunch of bones breaking!
The horse seemed unsatisfied, veered around, and charged at him again.
The man, terrified, ignored the injuries on his body and scrambled towards the exit. Staff immediately opened the fence gate, and medical personnel rushed forward, swiftly carrying him away.
Another challenge failed.
Although they had witnessed the ferocity of the blood-red warhorse with their own eyes, people still lined up to participate in the challenge.
Those who can enter the club are either rich or noble. They don't care about the measly two million dollars prize at all; what they crave is the thrill of conquest.
The harder they are to tame, the more it stirs their desire to conquer them.
However, the results were from bad to worse.
The host asked if anyone else wanted to participate in the challenge, but there was no response for a long time.
The proud steed, now unchallenged, strutted proudly around the center of the training ground, its head held high as if to boast.
Shen Qiong loved anything thrilling and exciting, her DNA practically vibrating with excitement. However, she couldn't ride horses and could only sigh in resignation, "It's a shame I don't know how to horseback ride, otherwise, I would have definitely made a profit of two million from it."
He Chao heard the little girl's soft mumbling and turned his head to look at her, saying, "I'll give it a try."
"Hello, Doctor!"
Chen Qiong immediately reached out to pull him, but the man had already walked out of the crowd.
All eyes looked upon him with admiration, a true hero!
So many challengers have given up, still dare to come on!
He Chao had signed a waiver and staff opened the fence gate for him.
He turned his head and found Shen Qing's figure in the crowd, gave her a reassuring smile, and then walked into the imperial stable.
The blood bay stallion, upon seeing someone enter, lifted its head proudly, and let out a chilling roar from its nostrils.
He strode forward calmly, tightening the reins. As he grasped the stirrup iron, he swung himself up onto the horse with practiced ease.
Before he could even sit down, the blood-red BMW suddenly bolted forward.
He pulled the reins tight, pressed hard with his heels, and leaned back slightly in the saddle.
The blood horse was not stopped, galloping wildly trying to throw the people off.
The scene was thrilling and suspenseful. Everyone present held their breath for He Chao, wondering how long he could hold on. They buzzed with speculation about his endurance.
He held the reins tightly, guiding her in a circle.
The blood horse became increasingly agitated. After running several laps in the center of the riding arena, it suddenly leaped into the air, clearing the high fence and crowd. Amidst the panicked screams of onlookers, it charged towards the grassy field outside.
Shen Qiong was so frightened that her heart raced, and she quickly chased after him.
The blood-red horse had long since carried its rider, galloping towards the distance where it met the dark night sky. Its figure grew smaller and smaller until it eventually disappeared.
Shen Qiong was worried that He Chao would get into trouble, so she hurriedly found the staff member and said, "You guys quickly send someone to take a look!"
The staff didn't dare delay and immediately started using the drone to track and film.
A screen showing the footage captured by a drone was transmitted to the large screen at the racetrack.
A tall and mighty Arabian steed galloped across the vast expanse of grassland. A man rode astride the horse, his figure imposing and his presence commanding.
The restless horse gradually calmed down, its wild charging turning into a carefree gallop.
He patted the horse's neck as if rewarding it, then spurred it towards the riding arena.
How could such a fierce horse be tamed
The audience was amazed by He Chao's equestrian skills, analyzing his horsemanship techniques.
And Shen Qiong, seeing He Chao return from the large screen, safe and sound, finally felt her heart settle.
She hurried outside to greet He Chao.
Soon, a figure came into her sight.
Under the sky where stars flowed like rivers, a man rode in on horseback. His figure was tall and straight, as if carved from a painting.
Shen Qiong gazed at him intently. At this moment, all things in the world, only he existed alone with light and shadow.
Soon, Ge Chao came to Shen Qiong's presence, reined in his horse, and dismounted.
A tall figure stood before her, his black and white eyes fixed on her. A smile appeared on his elegant face, "I've made the two million for you."
Shen Qiong was stunned for a moment, the emotions she had suppressed for so long suddenly broke through her rationality.
She rushed over and hugged He Chao, "You scared me to death, I was so worried you would get hurt!"
"It's nothing, I'm fine."
He gently embraced Shen Qiao, soothing him in a warm voice. There was a twinkle in his eyes, this was the first time the little girl had taken the initiative to hug him.
A good start, I believe she won't be so resistant to him soon.
A man's embrace is warm, with a faint scent of amber and sandalwood, making one crave it, become addicted to it, unable to extricate oneself.
Shen Qiong painstakingly picked up her scattered rationality, finally mustering the resolve to break free from that warm embrace. As she thought back on her actions just now, a wave of remorse washed over her, but her cheeks couldn't help but flush with heat.
She lowered her head, not looking at He Chao, and stopped speaking.
At this time, from the horse racing field, the host's voice rang out: "Congratulations to that gentleman, for successfully taming this horse and winning a prize of two million dollars. Please come forward to collect the prize."
He Chao grabbed Shen Qiong's wrist. "Let's go get the bonus."
After receiving the award money, this bounty event came to a successful conclusion.
The crowd dispersed, some leaving, others mounting horses.
The general presented a check to Shen Qiong. Shen Qiong immediately put her hands behind her back and shook her head, refusing: "This is your prize money, I can't take it."l looked so much like his little darling!He pulled Shen Lue aside and whispered, "Who is this girl""Her name is Ning Chichi. I don't know where she came from either. It was Master Fu who asked me to b...
