Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

Even while still asleep, Yuan Chen felt this heavy pressure and quickly entered battle mode.

Damn it! I, Yuan Chen, may not have eaten the whole thing, but I've at least eaten a quarter of Aunt Chun Li's forbidden fruit! What can stop me? What can resist me?! Who in this world can stop me?!

Upon realizing this, Yuan Chen immediately opened his eyes. Looking at the purple-clad girl sitting on his waist, legs crossed, and looking at him with great interest, Yuan Chen relaxed after a brief silence, then peacefully closed his eyes to continue sleeping.

Ingrid, it's alright now.

A naturally evil old witch!

Sensing Yuan Chen's thoughts, Ingrid smirked and then delivered a small punch straight to Yuan Chen's chest.

The spreading solar power immediately sent a shiver down Yuan Chen's spine, causing him to instinctively utter a sound of "Ugh!"

Although it didn't hurt, Yuan Chen realized he couldn't keep up the act any longer, so he simply opened his eyes.

"……Hello."

"Is this how you treat your seniors?" Ingrid smiled as she looked at Yuan Chen.

"Shouldn't you greet your senior immediately upon seeing them? I even gave you a sun charm! Your quick recovery is probably all thanks to this senior you wholeheartedly respect!"

"Thank you very much." Hearing Ingrid's words, Yuan Chen shrugged helplessly and said frankly:

"But how should I put it, since it's no use coming to me with the problems that are really difficult for you now, I feel like you're here just to have some fun."

"And if things really get out of hand, I can't beat you, so the thought that I might not be able to control myself makes me just want to go to sleep."

"Uh, what do you mean by having fun? I don't understand a word you're saying~" Ingrid waved her hand, about to make up a story, but then seemed to sense something and reached out her hand after a brief silence.

A radiant, elastic energy barrier formed beneath her buttocks, and she then turned her gaze back to Yuan Chen.

"So, if I may ask, what are you using to confront your respected senior, big brother?"

"I'm only eighteen." Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen couldn't help but grin: "I'm in my adolescence, that's normal. If you don't believe me, go back in time and see how old I was."

"Oh, is that so? Okay then~" Ingrid shrugged nonchalantly, but then said:

"Although I am also very curious about what this world was like in the past... After all, this world is so interesting now, it must have been very interesting before! But unfortunately, you have not yet fully awakened, and the timeline is still in a constant process, so I can only come to the present to see you."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen nodded thoughtfully, but didn't take it too seriously.

The main problem is that Ingrid is too powerful; what she says is really not very reliable.

Its duty is to travel through the infinite multiverse and clean up the unstable factors in these universes. Once Ingrid deems a world to have no value, she can directly erase its existence.

This power is difficult to quantify in a single universe.

To use a less concrete analogy...

If Gatanothor, the ultimate boss in Ultraman Tiga, were to slap a member of the Shinjo team, given the vast difference in power, would Gatanothor be Ingrid?

No, it's not that weak.

At this moment, Shining Tiga came over and slapped Gatanothor. Is this our dear magical old lady? No, she's not that weak either.

It was Eiji Tsuburaya who walked over and slapped Shining Tiga twice.

Yes, that's right, Eiji Tsuburaya is the magical old lady, while Shinjo is the Street Fighter universe.

At this narrative level, all Ingrid needs to do to be aware of the reasons for her dissatisfaction is not to try to solve them, because it is pointless.

Just as Yuan Chen was about to ask Ingrid what she wanted to do, he was thinking this.

On the other side, Chunli heard a 'uh' coming from Yuan Chen's room next door. She quickly got out of bed, thinking that a member of Yingluo had come to take revenge on Yuan Chen. She kicked open the door to Yuan Chen's bedroom and looked inside.

Then they saw Yuan Chen sitting naked on the bed, with a little girl who was no more than 1.6 meters tall sitting on his hips.

Upon seeing this, Chun-Li first stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but then realized that something was wrong.

The main reason is that, during their interactions, Chunli was certain that Yuan Chen, while not a perfectly upright person, was certainly not the kind of person without moral principles.

Thinking this, Chun-Li asked with some suspicion:

"Um... Ah Chen... if you really have a need, you can come to me... because I know that you've been thinking about it for a long time and holding it in for a long time since you asked me to...

But... isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this to a child? Or is something else going on here?

“It’s really not good to do that to a child.” Hearing Chun-Li’s words, Yuan Chen quickly nodded and looked at Ingrid sitting in his tent, saying:

“It’s really bad…and I don’t have any aging fetish.”

Upon hearing this, Ingrid pouted and said with a look of disdain, "Big brother is talking strangely, Ingrid doesn't understand!"

As she said this, Ingrid didn't deliberately splash dirty water on Yuan Chen—mainly because Yuan Chen had just expressed that he didn't want such a thing to happen.

Thinking this, Ingrid also reached out her hand, and intricate patterns woven from energy appeared around her, dazzling and dreamlike. Then she turned to Chun-Li beside her and said:

"Hey~! My name is Ingrid, and as you can see, I'm a newly awakened magic user—"

"Magic Grandma," Yuan Chen corrected expressionlessly.

Chun-Li tilted her head in confusion, while Ingrid's smile froze on her face. Without saying a word, she unleashed a beam of light that immobilized Yuan Chen, then gently tapped his head. The moment the lock was released, accompanied by a loud "bang!", Yuan Chen lay sprawled on the bed.

However, at the same time, with the infusion of eternal power into the sun rune, and under Ingrid's activation, Yuan Chen woke up at an astonishing speed, and his physical condition was also directly refreshed, returning him from a state where he had lost weight shortly after waking up to his original strong and powerful state.

After taking a moment to assess the situation, Yuan Chen was surprised to find that not only his muscles and blood energy had been depleted, but even the energy he had lost at Chun Li's place yesterday had been fully restored.

"Oh, thank you~" Yuan Chen has always been clear about gratitude and resentment, and he immediately expressed his gratitude when he found that his status had been refreshed.

Ingrid clearly appreciated Yuan Chen's thanks, and immediately nodded, giving him a "you know what's good for you" look.

"Hmph, now you know how amazing Ingrid is, right? Even with a fixed timeline, Ingrid can instantly restore you to your peak condition as recorded in the timeline!"

Chun-Li looked completely bewildered as she watched the two interact.

He immediately activated the sacred word D: "What...are you saying...?"

Volume 1: 32 Yuan's Astonishment

Noticing the confusion on Chun-Li's face, Yuan-Chen shrugged and said:

"This is the magical girl Ingrid. After I fell into a coma during my battle with Sagat, it was because I met this girl in the spiritual world that I was able to recover so quickly."

Ingrid's background and origins are both quite unique. Considering that the timeline of the main world she is in has not yet been fixed and everything is still developing, Yuan Chen doesn't know how to explain the old lady's background to Chun Li.

So I just blurted out a general idea.

Ingrid clearly understood Yuan Chen's explanation, and immediately nodded with a smile, saying, "Bingo~ Speaking of which, this world is truly amazing."

After staring at Chun-Li for a while, Ingrid, standing beside her, also spoke with great interest:

"Even though humans in this world are so weak, they can continuously grow stronger through cultivation, and some individuals can even vaguely sense the gaps between dimensions through cultivation..."

"Hmm, as expected of the emblem world that gave birth to you, it's certainly worthwhile for me to create a body specifically to reside in for an extended period."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen rubbed his chin and then said, "How about we change our form?"

"For example?" Ingrid squinted at Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen, fearless of death, said: "For example, something that matches our own age."

Before she could finish speaking, Ingrid pointed at Yuan Chen with a sharp finger and then banged on the door again!

Being suddenly frozen in an eternal moment, and then suddenly thrown out again—this feeling of simultaneous confusion in one's perception of time, space, and the world is not pleasant.

Having learned from his first experience, Yuan Chen simply shook his head and adapted to the situation this time. He couldn't help but complain, "Your move is too underhanded. You didn't even have a proper opening move?"

"Good to know~ This is the magic of the sorceress Ingrid~ Yohohohoho~"

Although she was smiling, a hint of curiosity also appeared in Ingrid's eyes.

Is it an illusion?

Although I did control my strength... why does it feel like this time the 'eternity' lasted much shorter when it fell on the younger generation?

Or... have you gotten used to it?

Just as the world has adapted to such a complex system?

Ingrid was curious, but she didn't pay any attention.

Even among the emblem holders, excluding the unrecorded Dark Matter Emblems, Ingrid is the strongest individual and the only one with innate awakening.

The innate strength, and the loneliness that comes with it, taught Ingrid the pure heart of invincibility.

Thinking this, seeing the helplessness on Yuan Chen's face, and sensing the casualness and frankness of this junior who was so different from his fellow clansmen, he smiled and said:

"If you need, I can also change my form, the kind that makes people lose all reason with just one look~"

"Then forget it."

Although Chun-Li didn't know what Yuan-Chen and Ingrid were talking about, she did hear that Yuan-Chen's quick recovery was all thanks to Ingrid.

Thinking this, Chunli bowed and thanked her, saying, "No wonder Ah Chen recovered so quickly; it was all thanks to your help. Thank you so much! Please let me know if you need anything!"

Although Ingrid looks young, Chun-Li tries to show her as much respect as possible through Yuan-chen's conversations with her, her verbal tic, and her clothing style.

How should I put it?

While she was indeed very cute, I also felt that her tone and behavior gave off the feeling of an older...loli old lady?

Especially their clothing style, although it is indeed good-looking, a closer look will reveal that they cover up almost everything on their body, even their hands are covered with gloves.

Sensing Chun-Li's curiosity and reserve, Ingrid didn't mind and simply waved her hand, saying:

"It's nothing, Yuan Chen... Big brother and Ingrid get along very well. Although he's a bit mischievous, the kind magical girl Ingrid will still offer help!"

Upon hearing Ingrid's words, Chun-Li gave a somewhat awkward smile.

Before, it was just a feeling, but now that Ingrid said it... how should I put it? Calling herself Ingrid-chan does have a weird old lady trying to act young.

While she undeniably possesses a youthful and adorable appearance, her clothing style is far more conservative than her actual age…

Although she found it strange, Chun-Li didn't investigate further.

Although Chun-Li doesn't know Ingrid yet, she can more or less sense that Ingrid has no ill intentions towards Yuan Chen, and that Yuan Chen fully trusts Ingrid.

Well, the main reason is that I have a good understanding of Yuan Chen's personality. I know that beneath Yuan Chen's cheerful, combative, and occasionally reckless exterior, he is not stupid or easily trusting of others.

Thinking about it, Chun-Li suggested, "How about... we eat first?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen glanced at the time and nodded, saying, "Indeed, it's time to prepare to cook."

As he said this, Yuan Chen turned to Ingrid beside him and said, "Although this may not mean much to you, would you like to have something? Consider it my way of expressing my gratitude?"

"Hehe, since it's big brother's request, then this old woman... no, I mean Ingrid-chan will accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen ignored Ingrid's occasional displays of a sense of nostalgia, gave an OK sign, got up, put on his clothes, and went to the kitchen to prepare a meal.

While Yuan Chen was cooking, the other guests at Yuan Hanting also got up one after another.

Looking at the girl who was already sitting in the hall waiting, Tong Ang asked curiously, "Who is this young lady?"

"Ingrid sauce~" Ingrid introduced with a grin.

Sagat: "Who is this?"

"Ingrid sauce~" Ingrid introduced herself.

Huo Yindan and Huo Yinqiang: "This?"

"Sauce~"

Watching Ingrid introduce herself to each newcomer, Chun-Li smiled wryly and began to wonder if she should put a sign on the side to save this mysterious girl who helped Yuan Chen recover from his injuries from having to introduce herself again and again.

Just as Chunli was still thinking, an old man slowly came to the dining table. His cloudy old eyes looked at Ingrid, and Yuan fell silent for a moment.

"you are?"

"Ingrid~" As if sensing something, Grandma's excited expression calmed down a little.

Upon hearing Ingrid's self-introduction, Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Where...have we met before?"
