Chapter 43: Pure Love Warrior vs. Minotaur
Chapter 43: Pure Love Warrior vs. Minotaur
It was late at night.
Bai Xue stood in front of the mirror, making final adjustments to her makeup. She had a naturally beautiful face, and with a bit of extra effort, she looked even more radiant. The girl in the mirror was a vision of brightness and charm.
Thinking about what was about to happen, Bai Xue felt her cheeks flush and her heart race. Her whole body was tingling with anticipation. The first opponent for her boxing match was a man whose physical training was so impressive it made her mouth water. She couldn't even imagine how exhilarating it would be!
She had been thrilled when she first saw pictures of Luke's body. His muscles were strong and well-defined, but not overly bulky, clearly indicating immense power and endurance.
He was going to be incredible in the ring!
Today, she was going to have a feast!
Bai Xue touched her face, which felt warm from excitement.
Her excitement made her overlook many details, but it also heightened her senses. So, even though she didn't notice it immediately, she managed to narrowly avoid the brick that flew at her from behind.
"Who dares to disrupt a lady's plans!"
Bai Xue steadied herself and was furious. If someone was going to cause trouble, why did it have to be now?
Her first match was about to start, and this kind of disruption was the last thing she needed. She was already brimming with murderous intent, but when she saw who it was, she was momentarily taken aback.
"Linglong..."
The attacker wore a cute pink short-sleeved shirt, and her long pink hair flowed naturally. Despite her schoolgirl appearance, she had a very adorable face.
"How did you find out? Who told you?"
Bai Xue's voice wavered. As Luke Linglong's best friend, she knew that Linglong had a crush on Luke. Linglong was into pure love and had harbored feelings for the serious and hardworking senior for a long time, unlike Bai Xue, who was purely attracted to his physique and face.
That's why Bai Xue hadn't mentioned her plans to meet Luke to Linglong. She had even avoided Linglong all day to reduce her guilt.
As long as she didn't see the victim, it didn't count as a betrayal!
"Zanglong told me."
Luke Linglong's tone was heavy, and her expression was complex.
Bai Xue was speechless.
Zanglong, the moron! Did he even realize what he was doing?
If she could win Luke over, the chances of Luke and Linglong getting together would decrease significantly, giving him a tiny, almost nonexistent chance.
But instead, to win Linglong's favor, he had told her about this, trying to prevent her from being betrayed. What a pathetic licking dog.
Did Linglong save his life in a past life or something?
Bai Xue felt terrible.
She wasn't afraid of a formidable opponent; she was afraid of a foolish teammate.
"Xue, do you know what our Daoist beliefs are?" Luke Linglong asked slowly.
"I don't know and I don't care. Linglong, there's no need to fight over a man. If you back off today, I'll find you someone better."
Luke Linglong ignored her and continued, "It's four words: 'Clear Mind.'"
Realizing there was no room for negotiation, Bai Xue sighed, stepped back with her right leg, and began to channel her qi. "It's come to this. Anyone who stops me from starting is an enemy, even if they're my best friend!"
"Feeling troubled won't help in meditation. Instead of letting go, we should take action." Luke Linglong also got into a fighting stance, her expression serious. "A girl's love must be fought for!"
"You never even tried! You haven't even seen him since you came to the mountain!"
"I want to, but Grandfather is watching me too closely!" Luke Linglong sounded frustrated. "In any case, we need to compete fairly. Sneaking around is absolutely not allowed!"
Who the hell wants to compete fairly with you!
I'm already at the finish line!
Bai Xue snorted. "Fine, I haven't tasted your qi in a while. Let's see how much you've improved!"
...
In the cloud chamber.
Luke sat in a bathtub, washing himself. He hummed a little tune, enjoying the soothing warmth of the water.
After a successful match today, he would brag to the other Leks about it. He would finally be rid of his "innocent boy" status!
Knock, knock, knock.
The sound of a knock brightened Luk's eyes. He quickly rose from the bathtub, wrapped a towel around himself, and hurried to the door, his initial joy turning to annoyance the moment he opened it.
"…Why is it you, Senior Brother?"
The person knocking was Zhang Liang, the senior brother who had been in charge of welcoming him at the rope bridge. He opened his mouth to speak but then closed it, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"Senior Brother Zhang Liang, Senior Brother Zhang Liang," Luk waved his hand in front of Zhang Liang's face, speaking a bit faster, "Is there something you need? I'm not really available right now, so if it's urgent, please say it quickly."
He had a date with a certain legal loli to attend to!
"Everyone in the sect has been discussing what kind of extraordinary encounter you had today. Some guess it's one of the Eight Great Techniques, others think it's a lost sect from the tides of time, and some even speculate that you gained a mystical opportunity from the Upper Realm…"
"So what?"
Zhang Liang leaned in closer, whispering, "Junior Brother, tell your senior brother the truth, is it the legacy of the Hehuan Sect?"
"Of course not."
"Nonsense! If it's not the Hehuan Sect, what kind of magical elixir could have made you so powerful?" Zhang Liang's excitement was palpable, his hands flailing about.
Luk: …
Why did his senior brothers in every world always care so much about such things?
"I'm just naturally talented, okay? If you have something to say, say it. If not, scram."
Luk waved him off, checking the time. Bai Shixue would be arriving soon, and he had no time to waste on Zhang Liang.
"It's Grandmaster, Grandmaster wants to see you."
"…"
Luk looked at the path leading to his cloud chamber, closed his eyes, and gritted his teeth. "Why now? Why not earlier or later?"
"How should I know?" Zhang Liang rolled his eyes. "Hurry up and put on some clothes, you're being indecent!"
Luk's patience was at its breaking point. "If this isn't important, I won't be nice to Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu."
...
"Ha ha, little Linglong, this is what happens when you fight with your sister." Bai Shixue tossed the qi ball in her hand into her mouth, savoring the slightly bloody but sweet and soft flavor, and smiled smugly.
Lu Linglong's ability to control blood was quite powerful, but due to some traumatic events in her childhood, her mental state was unstable, making it difficult for her to use her powers effectively. Her early-stage combat strength in Quanzhen was hard to gauge.
She lost clearly and decisively.
Bai Shixue glanced at her watch, feeling a bit uneasy. Due to Lu Linglong's delay, she was a bit late for their meeting. She hoped Luk wasn't already asleep.
It didn't matter if he was; she would make sure he felt at home even in his dreams!
Lu Linglong, lying on the ground, weakly smiled. "Shixue, my goal wasn't to beat you, just to delay you a little."
"What do you mean?"
Bai Shixue suddenly felt a wave of unease.
"By now, Senior Brother Luk should already be in Grandmaster's chamber. If you're so capable, why don't you challenge him there, in front of Grandmaster, you sneaky woman!"
"Your sweet and innocent image is shattered, Linglong." Bai Shixue pinched Lu Linglong's cheek, amused. It was the first time she had heard such words from Lu Linglong, even if they weren't the dirtiest of insults.
"If we can't meet today, there's always tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that. The Grand Celestial Sacrifice isn't over in a day, and Grandmaster can't watch him all the time."
She wouldn't give up on her boxing match with Luk!
A person's dreams never end.
Street Rat Diary (3)
Today, a fellow group member read the novel I wrote.
Group Member: "You write pretty well, keep it up."
Me (proudly): "Really? Thanks, I'll check out yours too."
After reading it, I found the plot was tight, the writing excellent, and the characters well-developed, making it hard to put down.
Then I looked at my own mess…
The big shot lied to me, and I actually believed it!
