Two of Xia Tingfeng's three good sworn brothers had been eliminated, leaving only Tiger to easily secure a spot in the finals.
The day before their departure, Rat secretly ran to the Buddha statue in the main room of their small courtyard to offer his prayers. The Buddha statue had been purchased from a peddler a couple of days prior for one tael of silver. It was about a foot long and coated with a shiny layer of copper. With offerings placed before it and incense burning, it looked quite authentic.
Meanwhile, Monster furtively dashed to Tiger's room early in the morning and dragged him out of bed.
"Brother Tiger? Brother Tiger?"
Tiger woke up groggily, sitting up in his sleeveless undershirt and loose shorts, his eyes bleary.
"Monster, what are you doing?!"
It had to be said, Monster looked truly stunning, especially with those captivating peach blossom eyes. But no matter how handsome, he was still a robust man. So... Tiger was still somewhat annoyed.
