LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 12:
Chapter 12: Martial Arts Lesson! Miserable Xia Liu!
After breakfast, Su Wanqing, the busy Chairwoman of Magnificent Tea in the magic capital, headed off to work.
Since it was the May Day holiday, Su Hongmian didn’t have to attend university.
However, she tied her hair into a ponytail, put on a pure white karate uniform, and prepared to go to the dojo for training.
Shen Anyu looked at Su Hongmian with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Noticing his gaze, Su Hongmian raised her fair little fists and huffed, “I’m really strong. Even my female instructor said that two or three ordinary adult men wouldn’t be able to beat me.”
“If anyone dares bully me, I’ll knock them out with one punch!”
Shen Anyu smiled playfully, “Then why don’t you hit me? I bullied you so badly!”
“Could it be… you like me? You enjoy being bullied by me?”
Su Hongmian’s pretty face flushed red, and she said with a proud tone, “I don’t like you! I just let you go because breakfast was delicious. Otherwise, I’d definitely give you panda eyes!”
Thinking about Shen Anyu with panda eyes, Su Hongmian let out a silver-bell-like laugh.
Shen Anyu’s gaze swept over her long, slender legs, a teasing light flashing in his eyes. Suddenly, he said, “What’s the point of learning flashy moves like karate?”
“Why don’t I teach you something real?”
“Yanxia Kung Fu!”
Su Hongmian’s heart stirred with curiosity, but she only snorted on the surface, “Only if you can beat me first.”
Shen Anyu looked at her with a half-smile, “How about we make a bet?”
“What kind of bet?” Su Hongmian asked, intrigued.
Shen Anyu grinned mischievously, “If you win, I’ll agree to do one thing for you.”
“If I win, then you do one thing for me.”
“Deal?”
Su Hongmian’s face turned red.
If it had been before yesterday, she might not have understood what kind of person this handsome man really was.
But now, after last night—he was a total scoundrel!
She glared at Shen Anyu and growled, “Just wait! I’m going to beat you to death!”
“Really! I’ll kill you!”
She gritted her teeth, as if she was going to rush forward and punch him.
Shen Anyu burst out laughing and teased, “Wasn’t that all to treat your illness? You had a deficiency and needed treatment. Now you’re healthy and full of energy—shouldn’t you be grateful to your savior?”
“I’m going to kill you!” Su Hongmian shouted in a mix of shame and anger, waving her soft little fists at him.
…
At that moment…
Inside the detention center.
In an eight-man cell, a man stared out the barred window at the sun, silently crying.
“Grandpa… why am I so miserable? The big city is terrifying…”
After going through multiple rounds of interrogation, Xia Liu had completely broken down.
He originally believed that with his unbelievable medical skills, he would be able to shine in a big city like the magic capital.
He imagined crowds of big shots and gorgeous women surrounding him, begging for his help and offering fortunes just for him to treat them.
He thought he’d be living the good life in no time.
But on his very first day in the magic capital—before he could even reunite with his fiancée Qin Ningbing—he got thrown into detention for practicing medicine without a license and harassment.
His release? Nowhere in sight.
Xia Liu was in tears!
He was really crying!
“Hmph! I will get out of here! I, Xia Liu, am a miracle doctor!”
“Once I’m out, I’ll eat the best food, drink the finest wine, and marry several stunning women! Life will be wonderful!”
“This is just a little setback. Nothing I can’t handle!”
He tried to cheer himself up, then suddenly remembered the woman he saw yesterday—Su Hongmian—and a lewd grin appeared on his face.
“That long-legged beauty from yesterday… she was absolutely stunning! The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen!”
“Especially those legs—tsk tsk—just imagine them wrapped around my waist… how amazing would that feel!”
“I have to marry her and have a few kids!”
“Also, she’s sick—really sick. A deep-rooted deficiency from birth. Those useless Western doctors? They wouldn’t even be able to diagnose it, let alone treat it!”
“Only I, the miracle doctor Xia Liu, can save her!”
“If she wants to live, she’ll have no choice but to rely on me—beg me!”
“And then, hehehe…”
Imagining some indecent scenes, Xia Liu’s drool started to drip.
…
Back at the Su family villa, in a large, empty room.
This used to be where Su Hongmian practiced dancing and later karate.
Now, Shen Anyu and Su Hongmian stood in the center of the room.
After some teasing and banter, the flustered and furious Su Hongmian had made up her mind to use her karate skills to teach Shen Anyu a lesson.
Time to give him a pair of panda eyes!
Hmph!
Gritting her teeth, her pretty face full of determination, she glared at Shen Anyu.
But Shen Anyu remained calm, scanning her tall figure and those alluring long legs, and said leisurely, “Go ahead. I’ll let you have a few moves. Otherwise, if I strike first, you won’t even have a chance to fight back.”
“Hmph! I’ll make you beg for mercy! I’ll definitely give you panda eyes!”
Thinking about how she had begged him last night while he showed no mercy, Su Hongmian grew even more furious.
With a sharp cry, she launched a rear-hand straight punch. It was fast and powerful—enough to knock an average adult man flat on the ground.
But Shen Anyu immediately noticed that her punch was aimed at his shoulder, not his face or any critical areas like she had said.
This girl—so tough with her words, but so soft inside.
Shaking his head with a smile, Shen Anyu took a step to the side and narrowly avoided the heavy blow.
“Hmph!” Su Hongmian huffed, not giving up, and launched a flurry of punches, chops, palm strikes…
She even got desperate and tried to knee him in the end.
But she still couldn’t touch even a corner of Shen Anyu’s clothes.
He moved gracefully, as if taking a stroll, effortlessly dodging her attacks. He teased, “Hey, knees are dangerous—good thing I’m skilled. Otherwise, you’d be widowed young!”
With his current cultivation at the Grandmaster Realm and all the top-tier martial arts he had drawn—Elite Taichi, Elite Bajiquan, Elite Lightness Skill Golden Wild Goose Style—there was no way Su Hongmian, who hadn’t even reached 1st stage Postnatal Realm, could ever hit him.
“Alright, I’ve let you throw dozens of moves. Now it’s my turn.”
Shen Anyu casually made a move. It was gentle and effortless, like a white crane spreading its wings. In one motion, he pulled Su Hongmian into his arms, completely dissolving all her resistance.
Feeling the warm hand around her slender waist, Su Hongmian blushed furiously and tried to break free.
“You’ve been fighting for so long. You must be tired. Time to relax.”
Shen Anyu curved his lips into a devilish smile.
