Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

Thinking this, when the video ended, Mai Shiranui touched her chin and tilted her head, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Speaking of which, Grandpa agreed so easily? I feel like there's something wrong with it."

“…Yes, why is that?” Han Zhuli also turned her gaze to Yuan Chen beside her.

He glanced again at the two girls from the Wu clan.

Since the Wu clan, with their craftsmanship, successfully freed the limiter and made it a regular feature through artificial gene screening, a considerable number of martial arts families have placed great emphasis on the targeted training of their descendants.

As for the Shiranui School, a school on the verge of extinction, even if Yuan Chen didn't possess these abilities, the talent he displayed alone was enough for them to gamble everything they had on him.

Thinking this, Han Zhuli also stared at Shiranui Mai carefully.

A moment later, Zhu Li pouted, clearly annoyed.

She has a large bust, long legs, a slim waist, and a perky butt; her face is also quite pretty...

He's a ninja, maybe even learned some bedroom arts? ...Damn it, Yuan Chen got to eat the best food again.

After cleaning up and arranging Mai Shiranui's room, Yuan Chen and the others prepared to rest.

He had originally planned to cultivate with Zhuli, Garuda, and Fengshui, but as soon as Yuanchen opened the door, he saw Han Zhuli, Wu Garuda, and Fengshui leaning against the bed playing on tablets and scrolling through their phones.

Although it seemed harmonious, the atmosphere was different from usual.

“Not today.” Han Zhuli raised an eyebrow at Yuan Chen, and Wu Jialouluo nodded in agreement.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Chen seemed a little surprised, because Han Zhuli and Garuda were the ones who had the most fun in the past. In comparison, Feng Shui was instinctively more introverted. Even when he couldn't hold back anymore, he would just hug himself tightly and tremble violently all over.

In response, Han Zhuli said, "Hurry up and give me Auntie's food."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen was only slightly taken aback before realizing that the aunt Han Zhuli was referring to was Chunli. He then scratched his head helplessly and said, "Why did you suddenly have such an idea?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Han Zhuli waved her hand:

"Ever since that accidental bump, that old woman has been giving you the eye with a creepy look, and she keeps spacing out. She's probably keeping all her feelings bottled up inside. If you go over and give her a good nudge, she'll just spill everything out like beans. Hurry up, I'm looking forward to playing pranks on her when we play games together!"

"……Too."

Upon hearing Han Zhuli's words, Yuan Chen scratched his head in confusion, a slightly complicated expression on his face.

It would be impossible to say that Yuan Chen had no feelings for Chun Li at all.

However, since Chun-Li was the first person of Yuan Chen's age besides his elders like Lao Yuan and Tong Ang after he came to this world, and she provided so much help, Yuan Chen was somewhat hesitant.

But now that I think about it... things have already progressed to this point, and continuing to hide it as if nothing has happened is a bit like burying my head in the sand.

Thinking about it, Yuan Chen headed straight for Chun Li's room.

Volume 1: Chapter 161 - Chun-Li

In the room, Chunli had finished washing up and was sitting in front of the mirror drying her hair. Looking at herself in the mirror, she recalled what had happened in the past few days or rather, in this period of time, and a clear sense of complexity appeared in her eyes.

Spider-Spirit's strength has increased significantly. In comparison, my own progress recently... has indeed slowed down considerably compared to before.

So, it really is because of life energy?

Chunli couldn't help but fall into complicated thoughts.

Although Chun-Li now consumes a sufficient amount of Life Cuisine in her daily diet, the results are obvious. The life energy transformed through Life Cuisine ultimately involves an extra production process and is mostly extracted from the ingredients rather than the pure life energy refined within Yuan Chen's body, resulting in a significant difference in purity.

Before, Chun-Li didn't feel any significant difference.

However, after today's battle with Han Zhuli, especially after Zhuli released the Feng Shui Engine, Chun-Li could clearly feel that a significant gap had emerged between the two of them.

The Feng Shui Engine can enhance vision and insight, allowing one to see through the flow of energy in others. It can also transform special energy similar to life energy through the eyes, thereby enhancing various physical parameters.

Although not as invincible as Yuan Chen, these enhancements can shorten the recovery time of one's attacks, forming a continuous, storm-like, and violent combo.

Although Zhu Li quickly depletes her Qi Sea once she uses it, with Yuan Chen's diligent replenishment every night, once Zhu Li becomes familiar with the Feng Shui Engine and can easily control and use it like the Wu clan, her strength will probably far surpass mine.

Thinking this, a hint of girlish worry appeared on Chun-Li's face.

Qigong boxing is a collection of various internal martial arts. Although it seems to focus on fighting, it is actually mainly about cultivating the mind and body and nourishing the Qi Sea. But even with the strongest willpower, Chun-Li is still a martial artist.

And although he now lives in anonymity to avoid unnecessary attention, he is, after all, a member of Interpol, and it is absolutely impossible for him not to have a competitive spirit.

However, compared to Chun-Li's outgoing personality, Chun-Li has a stronger control over her competitive spirit, that's all.

Right now, Zhu Li must be asking Yuan Chen for life energy... right now.

Thinking this, Chunli couldn't help but squeeze her legs together, and her breathing became slightly rapid.

At first, Chunli didn't notice, but soon she realized that she was sweating a lot again, and her pajamas that she had just changed into were soon soaked and muddy.

It's started again.

Chunli thought helplessly.

Clearly, this wasn't the first time; it was every night when her body would naturally recall its previous state... or rather, the state before Han Zhuli came here, when she helped Yuan Chen eliminate excess nutrients every day.

After Zhuli arrived, Yuan Chen visited less and less frequently. Chunli was initially relieved, thinking that Yuan Chen had realized the difference between men and women, after all, she was his sworn sister.

But gradually, Yuan Chen stopped coming, and Chun Li continued to consume the Life-Giving Food every day. Her body's desire for life energy grew stronger with each passing day.

Chunli used to be able to tell herself that Yuan Chen was already holding back, and that she couldn't hold him back. But now it seems, Yuan Chen wasn't holding back at all; he'd clearly found a more thorough outlet for his frustrations...

Recalling the scene of Yuan Chen fighting alone against Zhu Li, Garuda, and Feng Shui, Chun Li felt a burning sensation all over her body. She then involuntarily closed her eyes and reached her hand under the covers.

After groping around for a while, Chunli's breathing became more and more rapid, and instinctive fantasies began to flood her mind, with Yuan Chen's name being murmured between her lips and teeth.

Just as Chun-Li felt it coming, her whole body tensed up, and her fingers moved more and more intensely—thump!

Yuan Chen pushed open the door and walked in without saying a word.

Chunli, who was still muttering Yuan Chen's name and whose eyes were filled with a hazy, watery light, thought she was hallucinating and just kept repeating Yuan Chen's name.

Seeing this, Yuan Chen was slightly taken aback, then seemed to realize something and walked up to Chun Li to help.

At first, Chunli was completely unprepared when Yuan Chen suddenly appeared before her, thinking it was just a hallucination caused by her confused mind. But as Yuan Chen directly helped her and they made physical contact, Chunli quickly realized that this was not a hallucination, but that Yuan Chen had really come.

Realizing what she was doing, Chunli tensed up, wanting to yell at Yuanchen to leave. But while her mind was on it, her body disagreed.

Especially when Yuan Chen directly took action, the pent-up desires from the past few days overflowed instantly with the physical contact. A strong sense of transgression and satisfaction filled her heart. Chunli could only squint her eyes and stare at Yuan Chen with a face full of shame. Before she could even speak, she trembled violently and splashed water all over her head in front of Yuan Chen who was helping her.

Despite being splashed with lukewarm water, Yuan Chen was not angry; he simply looked at Chun Li.

Feeling Yuan Chen's gaze, still caught in the intense afterglow, Chunli's body suddenly swayed, and she instinctively covered her head with the blanket.

Unfortunately, the blanket was only so big, and now that it was covering her head, the other half was sticking out.

In just a brief moment, Chun-Li felt a pair of large hands land on her legs and then pull them apart.

She instinctively wanted to refuse, but a lingering feeling came over her, and Chun-Li's body went limp, and she directly lost the strength to resist.

Seeing this, Yuan Chen simply pressed himself against her, then lifted the blanket, looked at Chun Li whose eyes were full of shame and evasion, and without saying a word, lowered his head and kissed her.

At first, Chun-Li tried to dodge, but as their lips and teeth met, she gradually succumbed to her instincts and inner feelings, and began to respond clumsily.

With a soft cry of pain, Chunli then obediently hugged Yuan Chen, her body rising and falling in sync with his movements.

The next day, at dawn.

Opening her eyes, Chunli stared blankly at the familiar ceiling for a while, then looked to her side. Yuan Chen was still fast asleep, obviously from overworking last night.

Feeling the continuous flow of heat within her body, and her lower abdomen being filled to the brim—thanks to the brace, which prevented it from overflowing—a hint of shame appeared in her eyes.

It was my first time... but I was so proactive... was it because I had been holding back for so long?

Thinking this, Chun-Li noticed the tent that had been raised to the side, and for a moment she didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

What an animal! He spent so much time and did so much last night...

Thinking this, Chunli still crawled into bed and helped with the cleanup that she had forgotten about last night because she was so tired and asleep.

In his sleep, Yuan Chen felt a soft, warm sensation. He opened his eyes, looked down, and met Chun Li's gaze. Sensing Chun Li's slightly evasive look, he didn't say anything, but lay down again to quietly enjoy the sensation.

After a while, Yuan Chen walked out of the room and greeted Han Zhuli and the others, who seemed to have been waiting for a while, without changing his expression.

Good morning!

"How are you feeling?" Han Zhuli asked with great interest.

In response, Yuan Chen stroked his chin and said, "Yes, it is indeed a little different, but this is Chunli's privacy and it is not convenient to disclose."

"Ha, privacy, huh? No wonder you're called Chun-Li~" Han Zhuli rolled her eyes at Yuan Chen, then said nonchalantly.

"But it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, we'll end up sleeping together anyway, and that old lady will have a hard time then!"

Clearly, Han Zhuli was prepared to torment Chunli when they slept together.

In the past, Chun-Li would definitely have scolded Han Zhu-li for her flirtatious remarks.

However, Chun-Li was clearly experiencing something similar for the first time, especially since her personality was as gentle and soothing as the misty rain of Jiangnan. So she simply stayed in her room and pretended not to hear.

But Han Zhuli clearly didn't want to give up this opportunity to tease Chun-Li in person, and was eager to sneak into Chun-Li's room.

Now that Chun-Li has been through several trials and tribulations, Yuan-Chen is definitely on his side as his good sister. So he grabbed Han Zhu-Li by the back of her collar and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

Mai Shiranui arrived late and didn't know what had happened the night before. She only noticed that Han Zhuli was making moves, but since she was new to the place, she didn't ask any questions.

By the time Yuan Chen finished cooking, Han Zhuli and the others had already eaten halfway through their meal. Chunli then came down from the second floor, avoiding the gazes of Zhuli, Garuda, and Fengshui as she arrived at her seat. She greeted Wu, and then looked at Yuan Chen, who had brought the food, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of resentment and helplessness in her eyes. However, she didn't say anything more and just lowered her head to eat slowly.

Sensing the helplessness and slight shame in Chunli's eyes, Yuan Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Clearly, although Chun-Li has accepted part of the reality and the current situation, she still feels ashamed and embarrassed deep down.

Realizing this, Yuan Chen decided to thoroughly eliminate the problem Chun-Li was currently facing before the start of the Kengan Elimination Tournament.

Don't worry about the roots.

Take this opportunity to solidify your relationship with Chun-Li.

As someone who values ​​family harmony, I must find a way to help Chunli, Han Zhuli, Garuda, and Fengshui get to know each other, help each other, and support each other as soon as possible.

Days passed by in a routine of training, Zhuo Ai, and battle. Perhaps because the Kengan Deathmatch was about to begin, there were not many Kengan competitions during this period, and consequently, Yuan Chen encountered far fewer battles.

Even so, Yuan Chen still gained something—after feeling that life energy could suppress the mad blood to a certain extent, Iori Yagami also became a regular at the restaurant.

It's almost like he's become a restaurant NPC, appearing on time almost every night. After a simple meal and rest, he'll fulfill his promise to spar with Yuan Chen.

After finishing the game, they continued eating, drinking, and chatting.

Before they knew it, it was the last night before the competition began.

After finishing their sparring match tonight, Yuan Chen was drinking beer and eating barbecue skewers.

In Japanese dramas, you can often see office workers sitting in a yakitori restaurant after a long day, ordering a few chicken skewers and a large mug of draft beer to relax and unwind, which looks very comfortable.

The same principle applies to combat.

After a tough battle, when you're exhausted, a cold beer is incredibly refreshing and satisfying.

However, unlike the corporate slaves in Japanese dramas, neither Yuan Chen nor Iori Yagami, as martial artists, had any intention of being strict with their diet.

After eating and drinking for a while, Yuan Chen said, "I will probably be on Yuanliu Island for a while, and I estimate that I will be closed for about a month."

“A month…” Upon hearing Yuan Chen’s words, Iori Yagami frowned slightly. He was clearly troubled by Yuan Chen’s disappearance for a month.

The Blood Curse was something that Iori Yagami had indeed grown accustomed to, a constant torment. But being accustomed to it is one thing, and experiencing time without the curse's torment is another.

As the saying goes, for someone who lives in constant pain, to experience even a brief moment of happiness is cruel.

Over the past two weeks, Iori Yagami has finally experienced what it's like to be a normal person... Although this feeling is just an ordinary one, for Iori Yagami, who has been affected by the mad blood for many years, the past two weeks have been almost like a dream.

Not only him, but even his father often remarked that it was such a blessing not to be tormented by the mad blood...

Now Yuan Chen is leaving again...

"There's no need to worry about life energy," Yuan Chen said, patting the box beside him.

"I have prepared some compressed food for you. It is stored in the freezer to prevent it from evaporating due to contact with air. It should be enough to maintain your life energy intake for a month."

Upon hearing this, Iori Yagami nodded in relief and said, "Then there's no problem. Just tell me if you need any help."

"No problem, but could you help out at the shop when you have time?"

Yuan Chen said, "Sister Chunli and the others will also be going to Yuanliu Island with me. I'm a little worried about not having anyone here for a long time."

"no problem."

Iori Yagami nodded, and after resting for a while after finishing his meal, he left with his food.

The next day, Yuan Chen did not linger. He woke up Chun Li, Zhu Li, Garuda, and Feng Shui, and then took a taxi to pick up Wu from Yunqu Mountain to go back to the dojo to pack her luggage. After that, the group went directly to the port.

I bought a newspaper on the way, and it prominently featured headlines such as "Shocking! Presidents of major Japanese conglomerates take leave simultaneously, a major earthquake in Japanese business and economy!"

The Kengan Association has more than 200 member companies, of which 151 participated in this elimination round. At least until the end of the preliminary rounds, the Japanese economy will probably be at a standstill for a while.
