Ch 8: The Connected Guy’s Flirting Game Is Too Strong!
Liu Xixi returned to her room alone and shouted angrily into the air:
“So what’s the result?”
“He lied!”
“How could that be?!”
Liu Xixi’s pupils trembled. She hadn’t expected Xia Jiuyuan to lie to her.
This shouldn’t be the case; her Sixth Sense should still be quite sharp.
A sturdy figure appeared beside her. The person patted Liu Xixi’s head and said:
“But he only lied about one thing. He wasn’t sent by their Sect Master. He truly approached you with the intention of helping you…”
“How could that be??”
Liu Xixi calmed down. She was so shocked her mouth hung open. She knew it, she had felt from the moment she saw Xia Jiuyuan that he wasn’t a bad person.
Now it seemed he wasn’t sent by Sect Master Li. Could it be that he heard about her shutting herself away and came to help her with genuine sincerity?
Liu Xixi was self-congratulating…
“I don’t understand why he’s so good to you. It can be described as pure goodwill…
Could this kid really be a good person?
Let’s wait and see. This person seems fine for now. Just be mindful of your boundaries when interacting with him. But remember, that power of yours is too prone to Loss of Control, be careful not to make a big mistake.”
Liu Xixi clenched and unclenched her fists, then clenched and unclenched them again. In the end, she could only gaze at the moon alone and let out a sigh,
“Sigh…”
………………
“Sigh, what’s the big deal about me being an Older Brother,” Mo Mo sniffed Xia Jiuyuan, who was sweating profusely. “So you went to find another woman.”
Having said that, she looked at Jun Liuhe,
“It’s good that nothing happened.”
Jun Liuhe scanned Xia Jiuyuan, saw that no parts were missing, and closed her eyes again, beginning to meditate.
“Tsk, tsk.”
Mo Mo felt a bit confused by Jun Liuhe’s attitude but didn’t delve into it. Instead, she said to Xia Jiuyuan:
“Compensate me. Mo Mo wants to sleep hugging you today!”
“No problem. I like Mo Mo and He He the most.”
“What do you mean you like two people the most??”
“Hehe…”
Lucky Peak felt like home. Seeing the lights still on when you get home and being able to exchange a few words is a kind of enjoyment.
The next day,
“Did you hear? The Peak Master of Lucky Peak has taken on another beauty.”
“Who?”
“I’m afraid I’ll scare you to death if I tell you…”
“Hey, hurry up and tell me. How much better can she be than your Peak’s Jun Liuhe?”
“The Champion of the Arena Competition, Liu Xixi!”
“How is that possible! You must be drunk. Liu Xixi would tear him apart!”
“There’s proof with pictures. Look at this Shadow Stone…”
Xia Jiuyuan listened to the constant stream of gossip with a dark expression.
“Elder Sister Jun, Older Brother must have done this for you. He sacrificed himself to find Liu Xixi, to gain information about her weakness, and then tell you to help you win the championship!”
Although Jun Liuhe always had a cold expression, Mo Mo’s words at this moment made it difficult for her to maintain composure.
“…I don’t need your Older Brother to make such a big sacrifice.”
“Damn it, stop yelling at me, I was wrong.”
Xia Jiuyuan immediately admitted his mistake. Duan Shahe put his arm around his shoulder and stifled a laugh, while Li Le kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
As soon as they entered the Main Peak competition area, they saw a cute little figure running towards them, waving.
“Xia——Jiu——Yuan——”
Immediately after, Li Le left a sentence, “I’m going to compete, bye everyone,” and hurried away.
Duan Shahe’s eyelids twitched, and he muttered, “The competition is seven days. Thinking about it carefully, I can still slack off for two days. I’d rather go back and catch up on sleep.”
Under the gaze of everyone, the adorable Liu Xixi rushed up to the three of them.
“We meet again!”
“Tsk.” Mo Mo put down her Canvas and stool on the spot, seeming to have found Inspiration. Jun Liuhe, meanwhile, sized up Liu Xixi.
Xia Jiuyuan stiffly introduced the two women to Liu Xixi, “Ahaha… we meet again. This one painting is Mo Mo, and this one is Jun Liuhe.” The intense gazes around him made him very uncomfortable.
“Oh… Hello, Sister Mo Mo. Hello, Sister Jun. I just came to say hi, hehe.”
Liu Xixi patted her head. Her cute, small, and well-behaved appearance didn’t seem like the number one in the Martial Arts Grand Competition at all.
Mo Mo’s brush didn’t stop, she just subconsciously replied, “Okay.”
Jun Liuhe nodded at Liu Xixi, then walked towards Arena Number 21.
“Elder Sister Jun, is your Goal the first place?”
Liu Xixi suddenly called out to the departing Jun Liuhe.
Jun Liuhe stopped, slowly turned around, and nodded. Her movements were unhurried, but she exuded an unfathomable aura.
“That might be a bit difficult…” Liu Xixi’s eyes sparkled with Battle Intent. “I am very strong!”
“The stronger, the better.”
Jun Liuhe commented.
…
Below Arena Number Two,
A man holding a Fan was chatting animatedly with another handsome man.
“Jing Su, I see that Liu Xixi completely disrespects you. She ignored your invitation and instead went to find a useless person, a prodigal son…”
The handsome man Jing Su glanced at Yu Lu and shook his head:
“I don’t believe that someone as strong as me would be so foolish. Your vision is as limited as your strength; there’s too much of a gap.”
“Too much of a gap?” Yu Lu looked at the arrogant Jing Su with annoyance. “I’m currently third, only one rank below you!”
“Your third place is temporary. In my opinion, Zhao Tiankuo and Jiang Manyue are both stronger than you—”
“Yu Lu, Zhao Tiankuo ranked sixth is challenging you. Prepare yourself.”
Jing Su’s words were interrupted by the arrival of a Referee. However, he laughed instead:
“See… they didn’t even choose to make a move on you until the last two days.”
Yu Lu’s face turned grim, and the fan in his hand was crushed.
“You watch closely, and see how I win this Competition!”
Jing Su didn’t want to bother with Yu Lu. Although Liu Xixi was from the Liu Jing Forest like them, for various reasons, they rarely met.
His sole purpose in inviting Liu Xixi to talk two days prior was to achieve progress in martial arts.
However, Liu Xixi had refused him.
Even though he had sworn to himself that he would no longer pay attention to this foolish woman, this didn’t mean he truly thought Liu Xixi was ignorant.
But Yu Lu’s purpose in inviting Liu Xixi was not so simple.
After all, their lineage did not possess World-Ending power!
“Let this foolish woman frolic for a few more days. This Competition, the Champion is mine!”
Jing Su muttered to himself, as if the Champion was a sure thing.
He did have the confidence, after all, the advantage of being able to fly in the Arena Competition was too great.
Clearly, Liu Xixi was unaware of the conflicts happening here. She had been in solitary confinement for ten years and didn’t understand these complexities.
Her uncle didn’t allow her to run around and interact with outsiders, but among her peers in the Liu Jing Forest, except for Jing Su, everyone looked at her strangely—either with apprehension or with Desire…
And Jing Su wasn’t any better. He was very arrogant, and talking to him was very uncomfortable. Liu Xixi would rather sleep alone than say another word to him.
“Wow, Sister Jun is even more powerful than I imagined!”
As expected, Jun Liuhe had won two more matches overwhelmingly, and her ranking had risen to 11th.
Liu Xixi asked with full Battle Intent:
“Will you challenge me tomorrow?”
“The second to last day.”
Based on the strength Jun Liuhe displayed, those ranked 11th and above would not be foolish enough to challenge her. However, those ranked 10th and above might. Therefore, for the sake of a few days of peace, she decided against acting tomorrow.
“Sigh, everyone will probably cram into the last two days… I’m so bored, I’m going to find Xia Jiuyuan!”
Xia Jiuyuan wasn’t there; he was watching Li Le’s match. He thought Jun Liuhe’s matches were uninteresting, as she won inexplicably.
The result was as he expected; Jun Liuhe had already won two matches, and Li Le was still fighting his first.
It couldn’t be helped. Li Le couldn’t hit his opponents. Those who could reach the finals couldn’t have major flaws; everyone’s Body Techniques were very good.
On the arena stage, the opponent, panting, yelled, “Hey, hey, surrender already, buddy, spare me—damn it.”
The blood-covered Li Le once again swung his fist towards his opponent’s face.
Don’t assume Li Le only has strength and no speed; that would be a mistake.
Li Le’s speed was very fast, but speed without Spiritual Energy means was ultimately limited.
The opponent’s head strangely deflected the direction, dodging that punch. At the same time, Li Le’s other fist continued to follow up, attacking from diagonally below, targeting the enemy’s chin.
But the opponent not only dodged this punch again but also swung the blade in his hand at Li Le’s arm while dodging.
The enhancement of Rank was comprehensive: insight, Sixth Sense, danger precognition, spirit, Soul…
And Li Le only had physical speed and Power!
The Blade Peak swept across his Left Arm, leaving a deep Wound, and along with it, the opponent’s Spiritual Energy intrusion.
Is he going to lose?
