Chapter 319: Spar
They chatted and soon appeared in front of the food pavilion, since it’s the best restaurant, seeing Jia they were given a personal room despite appearing without any prior notice there, after a simple breakfast, Jayden asked about the bill, though the man just refused to take any money at first, but Jayden refused his refusal and then the waiter finally replied:
” Sir, your food amounts to 3680 sword points, so you just have to give three thousand sword p- ”
But cutting his words, Jayden pointed his bracelet forwards and passed over twenty thousand sword points, then he said:
” Keep the change. ” The guard was stunned, but soon he was overjoyed to have received such a generous tip.
Jia looked at Jayden in surprise but she didn’t ask why he did that, ‘ What’s the use of keeping so many points with me, I’m gonna leave this place anyway. Maybe I should let Xerome buy some things next time. ‘ he thought.
Then both of them walked out of the restaurant, while walking on the street they noticed a large crowd of people gathered in front of a stage, with curiously Jayden pulled Jia along with him and decided to check the place.
‘ A play? ‘ he thought seeing the scene in front of him, it was a play depicting the heroic deeds of their god.
” Mom, who are they worshipping? ” Jayden asked in a confused tone since he never paid much attention to such things before, Jia stared at him with wide eyes, wondering if he was just joking with her.
” You don’t know? ” Jia asked.
Jayden focussed on his memory and finally remembered. ‘ Ah right, they worship the Asura God, since he is the one who established this Kingdom. ‘ he thought.
” I know, I was just curious about that actor, he is quite good at his job. ” Jayden said changing the subject.
After watching the play for a few more minutes they decided to move on to their next location.
It was a big clothes and jewellery shop, Jayden chose a lot of clothes that he liked, both for himself and for Jia, and even bought many jewelleries for her.
‘ I should bring Sasha and the rest here sometime, I’m sure they will like it especially Layla. ‘ he thought.
Jayden even brought a gift for Xiao Rong for his date the next day, Jia tried several dresses and each of them looked perfect on her.
After purchasing a few dozen of clothes, and many sets of jewellery Jayden asked: ” So, what’s the total for all this? ”
” Just give me a minute sir. ” The woman sitting at the counter spoke, she seemed excited after seeing how many things they had purchased.
” It will be 2.42 million, with a discount you just have to pay 2.3 million sword points. ” She said, ready to lower the price even further if Jayden asked.
Jia knew that all those dresses and jewellery were going to be very expensive but she didn’t expect the price to be so high, even though it wasn’t much for her, she didn’t usually spend so much.
” Here, three million, keep the change. ”
Jayden said, passing the points to the flabbergasted employee, only after he called out to her again, did she come back to her senses.
” Th- Th- Thank you, sir, I- I will p- pack everything for you. ”
She said, hastily wrapping everything nicely, even adding several gifts along with their purchase.
Walking out of the shop, Jia asked:
” Why are you spending so much? I know you have obtained a lot of points, still you shouldn’t give them away just like that. ”
Jayden just smiled: ” Don’t worry Mom, if these points end I can get even more from that betting company, money isn’t a problem. ”
Jia shook her head and sighed, she couldn’t say anything to change it, while they were walking they heard a shocking news, well shocking only for Jia.
” I still can’t believe it, how could such a big sect just disappear in one night, there is not even a single person left alive there. ”
In a group of four people, the first man said.
” Buddhist sect was at the fourth rank, but many believed that they are much stronger than they show on the outside, even so, all of its members were annihilated, I have even heard rumours that it was the work of a single man. ” The second man added.
” Only the people who weren’t in the sect at that time were able to survive, but they are all so scared that they had gone into hiding. ”
Their discussion continued.
Jia halted to listen to this news, then they heard that even Rong Fu had died, and the king was attacked last night.
Even though they tried to keep it a secret, these rumours still spread like wildfire across the kingdom.
“…”
Hearing these things Jia looked at Jayden for a few seconds, thinking something then she sighed and pulled Jayden away from there.
” So, where are we going now? You still haven’t told me about the thing you have planned. ”
Jia said, she was holding his hand their fingers intertwined together.
” I’ll show you. ” He replied with a mysterious smile and brought her outside a big building.
” Isn’t this the place for training? Are we going to train? ” Jia asked tilting her head.
” Yeah, I want to spar with you, what do you think? ” He asked, pulling her in.
” Uh… Okay. ” Jia couldn’t understand how could this be a surprise, but she loved spending time with him, so she didn’t ask anything.
Jayden took one of the best rooms there, paying a hefty tip again.
Walking inside the room, Jayden picked a wooden sword, after checking it he passed it to Jia and picked another one for himself.
” Let’s fight, but just sparring is boring so why don’t we place a bet? ”
Jayden said, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Jia was beginning to understand that it wasn’t a normal sparring session, she swung her wooden sword around and asked:
” What kind of bet? ”
Jayden stretched his body, and began his warm up, as he replied:
” We will have several rounds, and the winner from each round could ask the loser to do anything, of course as long as the loser agrees to do it, so what do you think? ”
Asked Jayden, waiting for her reply. Jia thought about his words for a few moments then she asked:
” By anything, what do you mean? ”
” It’s exactly as it sounds, the winner could make the loser do what he wants. ”
Jayden replied. Jia again fell in deep thoughts, she wondered what she could ask Jayden to do, and as she thought that her smile widened, with fighting spirit filling her eyes, she said:
” Alright, let’s do this. ”
Jayden looked at her and wondered if he was really doing the right thing.
In a fight against Jia using only martial arts, Jayden wasn’t completely sure he could win, but he was sure that he would not lose.
With a similar fighting spirit igniting inside him, Jayden got into a fighting pose, and both of them just stared at each other for several moments.
