Chapter 646 618: Little Donkey VS Sweat Blood Treasure Horse
The enemy was unhappy, Lin Tian was very happy.
Young Master Chu couldn't get enough of the Ferghana horse; he held onto the horse's back and stepped on the stirrup, wanting to try out how it felt.
The Ferghana horse was tall, and it took a great effort for Young Master Chu to get into the saddle.
The Ferghana horse snorted and turned around in circles, issuing a series of neighs.
"What a fine horse!"
"This horse could even compare to Lu Bu's Red Hare from the Three Kingdoms period; it's capable of covering a thousand miles in a day."
"Young Master Wang is so generous!"
"Young Master Chu is so fortunate!"
..., ....
Everyone was full of praise, albeit a bit exaggerated, but it had to be said, this Ferghana horse was really impressive.
Young Master Wang proudly said, "Young Master Chu, I'm not bragging to you, but in Huaxia, if my horse is considered second, no other horse would dare claim to be first. Ferghana horse, the finest breed, absolutely unique."
"Indeed, the Ferghana horse. I'd only heard of it, never seen one in person."
"Absolutely unique, priceless!"
"What a horse, what a horse!"
The crowd lavished more praise.
"Thank you Young Master Wang." Young Master Chu thanked him with a fist salute.
But just as everyone was praising the Ferghana horse, Lin Tian stepped forward, emitting a very discordant note.
"Bah, what a worthless horse, calling it a Ferghana horse; it's not even as good as a donkey."
The discordant voice echoed in Lin Tian's ears, startling the crowd, who all turned back to look.
They all saw Lin Tian, and so did Young Master Chu—he had been hit by Lin Tian just earlier and hadn't yet settled the score. Unexpectedly, not only did Lin Tian not run away, he came back to stir up trouble.
Yet Young Master Chu dared not act out, as he had just told outsiders that the swelling on his face was from a car accident. He certainly couldn't admit it was from Lin Tian hitting him; how embarrassing that would be!
Young Master Chu was furious, but even angrier than him was Young Master Wang.
Young Master Wang loved his horse as if it were his life. He had gone through great troubles to acquire the Ferghana horse. He treated it better than his own father; he absolutely would not allow anyone to insult his Ferghana horse.
And here was Lin Tian, saying his Ferghana horse was no better than a little donkey; that was something he couldn't tolerate.
He stood out and shouted at Lin Tian, "You say my Ferghana horse is no better than a little donkey."
"Yes, that's what I said, and you heard right," Lin Tian replied indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter.
"This fool, saying Young Master Wang's Ferghana horse is no better than a little donkey, haha....!"
"A little donkey doesn't even run as fast as the Ferghana horse walks."
"Right, is this guy crazy? How could he say such a ludicrous thing."
"Just watch and see how Young Master Wang deals with him. Young Master Wang sees the Ferghana horse as a treasure; this fool actually dared to devalue it to nothing. Just watch, Young Master Wang won't let him off easily."
"He's in for it now, messing with anyone he pleases, serves him right!"
..., ....
The crowd murmured, looking at Lin Tian with sympathy.
Young Master Wang clenched his fists and shouted to his thugs, "Damn it, some men, come and cripple him."
A few burly men hurriedly ran out, heading straight for Lin Tian.
The bystanders quickly retreated, lest they invite trouble upon themselves.
Lin Tian, utterly unafraid and not flustered, spoke lightly, "I said your Ferghana horse isn't even as good as a little donkey. It seems I was right, otherwise why would you be so eager to silence me?"
The crowd, upon hearing Lin Tian's words, felt there was logic to it. Nothing comes from nowhere; in their eyes, Lin Tian couldn't possibly be so foolish as to offend Young Master Wang for no reason!
If the Ferghana horse really was fast, why would Young Master Wang be so anxious to silence Lin Tian? Reality is indeed stronger than any argument.
The crowd looked at Young Master Wang, their eyes filled with doubt; even Young Master Chu looked puzzled as he watched his mounted Ferghana horse, full of suspicion.
Young Master Wang couldn't bear the crowd's gaze, nor could he stand anyone doubting his Ferghana horse.
"Hold it!" Young Master Wang intervened, stopping the thugs rushing towards Lin Tian.
"You're questioning my Ferghana horse, thinking it's a fake."
"That's right," Lin Tian said, smiling.
"Outrageous," Young Master Wang raged, "My Ferghana horse is a genuine Ferghana horse. I've had a professional team verify it, and even the sweat it sweats is tinged with blood."
With that, he quickly pulled out several test reports, which were certifications of the Ferghana horse's bloodline.
Lin Tian didn't even glance at them, saying, "What are you so worried about? If your Ferghana horse is real, why are you scared? Why are you nervous?"
"When was I afraid? When was I in a hurry? When was I nervous?"
As Young Master Wang spoke, he began sweating profusely, a clear sign of his anxiety.
Everyone could see that Wang Shao was acting oddly, but truthfully, Wang Shao was not anxious or nervous, but furious, sweating from anger.
Lin Tian said, "I won't yell at you. Yelling doesn't solve anything. How about we have a race instead? I'll ride a little donkey, and you ride your fine steed. Let the facts speak louder than words!"
Everyone nodded in agreement with Lin Tian's proposal.
"Fine," Wang Shao quickly agreed, not believing that his fine steed would lose to a little donkey.
Lin Tian continued, "This is a competition, and in a competition, there must be a winner and a loser. How about we make a bet?"
Wang Shao stared at Lin Tian, his hatred for him reaching an extreme. He wished Lin Tian were dead.
"If I win, I will kill you."
Lin Tian had anticipated he would say that and replied, "Alright, I agree. But if I win, it proves your fine steed is worthless, and you must kill it with your own hands. How about that? Do you dare to take the bet?"
The thought of killing his beloved horse made Wang Shao tremble. Killing it would be harder for him than killing his own son.
But then he thought, my fine steed losing to a little donkey? That's a joke.
There's no way I can lose.
My fine steed cannot lose either.
"I'll take the bet!"
Wang Shao shouted.
Lin Tian smiled and announced to everyone, "You all heard him. He has agreed to our wager. If he loses, he has to kill his useless horse."
"Yeah, we heard. Let's start the race!"
"Humph, I can't believe a horse would lose to a little donkey."
"Exactly, even if it weren't a fine steed, any horse could easily outrun a little donkey."
"That guy is a lunatic, an idiot!"
..., ...
Wang Shao reminded from behind, "Don't forget, if you lose, you have to die!"
Lin Tian laughed and said, "Quick, bring me a little donkey, any that's used for grinding will do!"
People hurried to find a little donkey.
This was Wolong Bay, a place where money was burned recklessly. Finding a little donkey wasn't easy.
The waiter first checked the kitchen and found no donkeys. Then, a plane was dispatched, and they bought a little donkey at a high price from a farmer 500 miles away. The donkey, only eight months old and half a human's height, was extremely thin, clearly malnourished.
The plane carried the little donkey towards Wolong Bay, stunning the farmer who couldn't believe they were using a plane to transport a donkey. The cost of the fuel alone!
Half an hour later, the waiter rushed over with a little donkey, and everyone burst into laughter at the sight.
"Hahahaha... It's really a little donkey, as tall as a pig."
"Right, it's too small. Can it even carry this kid?"
"It's not even a third the size of the fine steed. This kid is crazy; there's no comparison at all!"
"I bet, the moment he gets on, the little donkey will just be crushed."
"Hahahaha...!"
..., ...
The crowd laughed again, and even Lin Tian, seeing the little donkey, appeared resigned. He stared straight at the waiter, exuding an aura of feeling betrayed.
The waiter looked helpless. He genuinely hadn't meant to trick Lin Tian. To find a little donkey in half an hour was already a miracle, especially since even in rural areas, donkeys were scarce nowadays.
"Hahahaha... Kid, just use it to race against me," Wang Shao mocked as he laughed.
He intentionally stood his fine steed next to the little donkey, highlighting the stark difference in their stature; the donkey could easily have walked under the belly of the fine steed.
Lin Tian glared harshly at the waiter, but still smiled at him and said, "Right, let's use it. It may look small, but I bet it's fast. You think your fine steed is great, but it's all for show. Let it run a hundred meters, and it will surely fall behind."
"My fine steed can travel a thousand li a day, and you say it will fall behind after only a hundred meters? Fine, kid, you just wait for your death!" Wang Shao said furiously, utterly unconvinced that a little donkey could outrun his fine steed.
Following the cheers of the crowd, Wang Shao led his fine steed, and Lin Tian led the little donkey outside.
Lin Tian pointed to a stone tablet not far away and said, "That stone tablet is about a thousand meters from where we stand. Let's run to it, and whoever reaches it first wins."
"Okay," Wang Shao readily agreed.
He pulled on the saddle, leapt up, and climbed onto the mount, displaying the skills and speed of an expert rider.
At that moment, Lin Tian realized his little donkey had no saddle.
Seeing Lin Tian's awkwardness, Wang Shao surprisingly showed a hint of compassion and shouted, "Quick, get him a saddle."
An attendant laughed and said, "Wang Shao, this little donkey is too small; a horse saddle is useless."
"Hahahaha...!"
It was the truth, and it instantly caused a burst of laughter from the crowd.
Feeling helpless, Lin Tian slowly mounted, thinking: No saddle it is, then. Let's just run. You're not fast enough to throw me off anyway.
He settled atop the donkey, and then the embarrassing incident occurred. He was too heavy, and the little donkey couldn't bear the weight.
What do you think?
