Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

Although it is very rare for a fighter to give up on a fight because of a single defeat, considering that this Kengan competition involves not only huge economic benefits but also honors such as revenge matches, it seems quite reasonable that Rito was fired.

However, in Yuan Chen's opinion... it was a good thing to fire him.

Now that Rito is 26 years old, an ordinary person might have already reached their 'peak bone mass', that is, the highest mineral content and density of their bones in their lifetime.

However, martial artists possess a sea of ​​qi, which, through the tempering of intention, allows them to continuously break through the limits of the human body. In other words, if Li Ren can regain his strength and focus on martial arts, with the foundation laid, then it's not too late.

After the battle, Yuan Chen returned to the contestants' tunnel and said, "I have fulfilled my mission."

"Looks like you're not satisfied with your performance." Seeing Yuan Chen's calm expression, Chun Li wasn't happy about the so-called 'I've fulfilled my mission,' but instead couldn't help but sigh.

"Based on my understanding of you, after tasting such a 'side dish,' you're definitely craving the 'main course' even more than usual..."

That's true.

Hearing Chunli's words, Yuan Chen shrugged helplessly and said, "Actually, Liren is quite talented... but it's obvious that he's been held back for too long."

"Compared to this!" Han Zhuli gritted her teeth and said unhappily after hearing Yuan Chen and Chun Li's conversation.

"What do you mean by 'family'? I don't know when I started considering you family! I'm just staying temporarily, so don't get too cocky!"

"Okay, okay, I'll cook you something delicious when we get back." Hearing Han Zhuli's angry words, Yuan Chen casually put his arm around Han Zhuli's shoulder and said:

"But no matter what, you're already family to me, and no matter how much you deny it, it won't change anything."

"I won't accept it!"

Han Zhuli crossed her arms and grumbled unhappily, but she made no attempt to push Yuan Chen away, and didn't even notice Yuan Chen's hand resting on her chest.

Seeing Yuan Chen and Han Zhuli's intimate behavior, Chunli felt gratified but also inexplicably lost.

Before Chun-Li could even grasp the source of this disappointment, Yuan-Chen's other hand encircled her waist and rested on her hip, saying:

"Instead of this, let's go upstairs and take a look. I noticed a lot of familiar auras during the competition."

Feeling Yuan Chen's hand landing on her hip, Chunli looked helplessly at Yuan Chen beside her, whose expression remained unchanged.

Chunli's familiarity with Yuan Chen told her that his ambiguous hand on her was definitely intentional, but perhaps she was already used to it, or perhaps for some other reason, so Chunli didn't say anything more, only saying:

"Be sure to observe proper etiquette when meeting friends and elders."

"Ah."

As the three of them were walking towards the private room and turning a corner, a graceful figure happened to walk out.

Responding quickly, Yuan Chen reached out and grabbed the girl who was about to fall, then said with some surprise, "Referee?"

It was none other than Katahara Metsudo's eldest daughter, Katahara Sayaka.

Upon seeing Yuan Chen, Katahara Sayaka showed a surprised expression, then greeted him with a big smile, "I didn't expect to see you all again so soon! I'd really like to get to know you all better!"

With that, Katahara Sayaka gracefully introduced herself to Han Joo-ri and Chun-Li:

"My name is Katahara Shoka, and I am the eldest daughter of Katahara Metsudo, the president of the Kengan Association! I am twenty-two years old this year. I have a wide range of hobbies, but my main interests are martial arts, fighting, and making friends!"

Upon hearing Katahara Sayaka's powerful words, Chun-Li's face showed a touch of emotion.

Finally, we encountered a normal sunny corner.

Living with Yuan Chen during this time, Chunli has witnessed the diversity of human beings.

Leaving aside other aspects, it seems that almost none of the girls on Yuanchen Island are normal people.

Han Zhuli goes without saying; she was already burdened with a deep-seated blood feud. Although she had improved a lot recently, Chunli could clearly sense that Zhuli had never truly forgotten this hatred through her practice of Qigong and fist techniques to unify her mind and body. It was just that after experiencing this period of life, she realized that there was more to life than just hatred...

And then there's Wu Jialouluo... who immediately started shouting that she wanted to marry Yuan Chen and have children.

If Chun-Li hadn't learned about the Wu clan's traditions and understood that this was an instinctive desire for powerful genetic factors ingrained in their genes, she would have insisted on sending Wu Jialouluo to a juvenile detention center to correct his strange thoughts.

And now, I've met another girl. Putting everything else aside, at least judging from her demeanor and temperament, she's lively and cheerful... Surely this can't be another love affair disaster?

Thinking to herself, Chunli and Han Zhuli introduced themselves one after the other.

Seeing the intimate way Yuan Chen, Chun Li, and Han Zhuli were interacting, Katahara Sayaka blinked curiously and said, "You all look very close. Are you a couple living together?"

Upon hearing this, before Chunli and Han Zhuli could refute, Yuan Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Chun Li helplessly rubbed her temples, while Han Zhuli simply pursed her lips without saying anything more.

Katahara Sayaka was born with an extremely strong emotional sensitivity, and looking at Chun-Li and Han Joo-ri, a trace of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

Although she wasn't entirely sure, Katahara Sheka could more or less sense that Chun-Li and Hanju-ri's reactions, while seemingly similar, were actually quite different.

To be precise, Chun-Li felt helpless, ashamed, and slightly resigned.

Han Zhuli's state seemed to be one of resignation and self-destruction, along with a small joy of being affirmed in front of others—and the shame and displeasure that accompanied this small joy.

Yuan Chen... had no superfluous or complicated thoughts. He simply said, "Yes, that's right, they are all my lovers."

Now, Katahara Sayaka couldn't help but tilt her head, finding the three people in front of her inexplicably interesting.

As for Yuan Chen's expression of the same frankness regarding these two different feelings... Katahara Sayaka was only somewhat curious.

I must say, he truly lives up to his father's praise for his youth; he's definitely more interesting than I imagined!

Katahara Sayaka has met many people, including those who have cheated on their partners and those who have been promiscuous.

But I've never seen someone like Yuan Chen who remains so calm and collected despite facing two complex emotions... He's such an interesting person.

Thinking about it, Katahara Sayaka couldn't help but smile, her long eyelashes narrowing as she said:

"If I remember correctly, Father mentioned that Mr. Yuan Chen came with the Wu clan, right? The members of the Wu clan are all in the private room now. Are the three of you going up as well?"

“Hmm.” Yuan Chen nodded and said, “Although I’ve been in the Doujie for a while now, I still haven’t met the head of the Wu clan.”

"Let's all come together then~" Katahara Sayaka said cheerfully upon hearing this:

"Although Uncle Wu Huiliyang has a somewhat eccentric personality, he's also a very easy person to talk to. However, I heard from the feng shui master that Uncle Huiliyang seems to have some reservations about Mr. Yuanchen because of the Wu Jialouluo incident."

As she said this, a slight tension appeared in Katahara Shoka's eyes.

Although Wu Huili is definitely a grandfather in terms of age, in terms of seniority, Katahara Sayaka should indeed call Wu Huili an uncle.

There's nothing we can do about it; after all, Katahara Mitsudo was over seventy when he had Katahara Shoka. All we can say is that the old man Katahara is indeed old in years but not in body; even using the phrase "an old clam giving birth to a pearl" to praise him seems a bit too much.

Because of the relationship between the Katahara family and the Wu clan, Katahara Sayaka is quite familiar with Wu Huili's granddaughter's idiocy. As a result, it is not surprising that Wu Huili has some opinions about Yuan Chen because of her infatuation with Garuda.

Or rather... "Actually, I was a little surprised before, because although Garuda is young and sometimes does some outrageous things, he is actually a very calm and composed person. He shouldn't suddenly express joy and affection to someone he has just met."

Katahara Sayaka looked at Yuan Chen with a face full of emotion and said:

"But after meeting Brother Yuan Chen, I understood him a little better. I had never seen such an overflowing vitality before, and it left a deep impression on me."

And given his powerful genetic makeup and keen senses, it's only natural that he'd be drawn to the young man, especially to those Garudas… Of course, being a reclusive assassin clan, some of his principles and logic do differ from ordinary people.

Having heard Katahara Sayaka's words, knowing what she was talking about, and having witnessed Wu Jialuo's reactions, Chun-Li was not surprised. In fact, when she heard Katahara Sayaka's final evaluation, she showed an expression of deep agreement.

The logic of the Wu clan is indeed very different from that of ordinary people... even beyond imagination!

Compared to Chun-Li, Han Zhu-Li only met Yuan Chen for five or six days, living with him for a week at most. Although she gave her first time to Yuan Chen in a daze, she didn't know anything about what had happened before. When she suddenly heard a strange name and seemed to have some unknown past with Yuan Chen, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Then, Chun-Li, who had previously mastered the sacred letter D, exhibited a phenomenon of human-to-human transmission, asking, "What...are you talking about?"

Volume 1: 107. A Brief Introduction to Life Therapy

Seeing Han Zhuli's confused expression, Chunli briefly explained how Yuan Chen came to the Doujie.

Upon hearing about the connection between Yuan Chen and Wu Jialouluo, Han Zhuli hesitated for a moment before staring thoughtfully at Yuan Chen for a while, then asked, "Was that woman pretty?"

"Is it pretty or not... it's definitely pretty." Yuan Chen stroked his chin and said matter-of-factly, "Although the dark irises of the Wu clan can be a bit frightening at first sight, they have a unique charm after you get used to them."

"Then why didn't you agree?" Han Zhuli blinked in increasing surprise, raised her chin at Yuan Chen, and said, "Weren't you doing a pretty good job? Even when that blatant dereliction of duty cop Yi Hua tried so hard, he couldn't budge you an inch. You actually backed down?"

“There were still many things to deal with at the time, and she was only a sophomore in high school. I couldn’t even be sure if she was an adult.” Yuan Chen shrugged.

"I also have my own principles, okay?"

Watching Yuan Chen and Han Zhuli's conversation, Katahara Sayaka found it inexplicably interesting.

It's easy to sense that Han Zhuli and Yuan Chen's relationship is closer than that of ordinary people... perhaps they are lovers? But why does Han Zhuli seem completely unconcerned about Yuan Chen having other lovers?

Or perhaps, although she seems to care a lot, she appears quite indifferent to Yuan Chen's romantic relationships.

And...Han Zhuli...I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before...

While pondering, Katahara Sayaka said, "Instead of this, let's go see Uncle Erio first."

"Ah."

Chunli nodded and chimed in, "If it weren't for Senior Huiliyang's help, even if we were to successfully reach the Dou Realm, we would inevitably attract the attention of many people with ulterior motives... And, when you see Senior, Yuan Chen, you must speak properly!"

Chunli looked at Yuan Chen helplessly and said:

"Other things are fine, but you absolutely must not take the verbal agreement with that little girl Wu Jialouluo seriously... It's okay to treat such things as jokes between friends, but it would be very impolite to bring them up as serious matters with elders!"

"I hope so."

Yuan Chen shrugs his shoulders.

Clearly, Chun-Li seems to regard Wu Hui-Li Yang as some kind of highly respected senior.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to over a thousand years of genetic modification, the entire Wu clan, despite their exceptionally strong physiques, are often somewhat lacking in certain aspects of their minds, especially those with high liberation rates.

Considering that this wouldn't affect their normal lives, Yuan Chen wasn't too worried.

Following behind Katahara Shoko, Yuan Chen and the others soon arrived at the upper-level private room.

As soon as he entered, he saw Wu Lei'an grinning and gesturing with his chin towards Yuan Chen, saying, "You buddy, haven't had your fill yet? Or rather, that guy called Li Ren is just a piece of trash. How about we have a little practice now?"

"Let's wait until tonight," Yuan Chen said. "It's been a while since we last met. After we finish fighting, we can have a meal together. It's on me."

“Then I want to go too.” Upon hearing this, Wu Qiqi, who was standing next to him, also said with great interest, “How about I join? I want to experience the fighting too.”

"No problem, the more people fighting, the more exciting it is!" Hearing Wu Qiqi's words, Yuan Chen also smiled: "I've been wanting to test Ghost Cry Child's strength for a long time too~"

"Then you might be disappointed." Upon hearing this, Wu Qiqi scratched his head helplessly and said, "In terms of strength, Lei An should be stronger than me."

Lei An had almost no friends within the Wu clan. Due to his aloof personality, he was even used to being isolated.

However, as a descendant of assassins, Wu Lei'an's strength was also recognized by everyone.

In such martial arts families, having the biggest fist is the most important thing.

"Whether one's strength is great or not is one thing, whether one's will is great or not is another."

Yuan Chen shook his head and didn't say anything, but simply stretched out his fist towards Wu Qiqi.

Seeing this, Wu Qiqi was also stunned for a moment, then looked at his own palm, then bumped his fist and said, "Then I will try my best to satisfy you."

Thank you.

"I want to go too! I want to go too!" Wu Fengshui popped out from behind Wu Qiqi's burly figure and said.

"Speaking of which, Yuan Chen didn't even say goodbye when he moved. A few days ago, I went to Sakura's house to ask for a free meal, but I was told that you had opened a shop outside!"

"This is also so that I can get together with my friends."

Hearing Wu Fengshui's complaints, Yuan Chen chuckled and said, "Although Xiang's family is quite wealthy, they are still just ordinary people. My home and shop are both in the old city area, which makes it more convenient for us to have meals and play together in the future."

"Oh! Long live!" Wu Fengshui exclaimed, then said expectantly:

"Can we have Chinese cuisine? I haven't had it in ages! Hmm... Although I've been to quite a few hotels, with Yuan Chen's excellent food as an example, I'd rather eat convenience store rice balls than eat what they make."

“No problem~” Yuan Chen held up his hand and gave a YES sign.

Following Wu Fengshui, Wu Jialouluo, dressed in a black school uniform, also appeared in the scorching smoke.

"Ah~ Chen~!" Waving cheerfully at Yuan Chen, Wu Jialouluo then ran over with youthful energy.

As soon as it got close, it leaped into the air and then clung to Yuan Chen like a koala.

Having learned about Wu Jialuo's personality, Yuan Chen took the opportunity to reach out and hug the girl who jumped into his arms, saying, "Oh, Jialuo, it's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been so long! I've been thinking about Yuan Chen every day lately!" Wu Jialouluo gave Yuan Chen's chest a good hug and said with a happy expression.

"I've also learned a lot from my mother about the knowledge and common sense that a wife should know. Although some parts are still difficult to understand, I've never thought of giving up... Ah Chen, what about you? Do you miss me when I'm not around?"

"Of course I do," Yuan Chen said without batting an eye. "It's not just me, Chunli misses you too."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Wu Jialouluo reacted, quickly climbing off Yuan Chen's body. After tidying her clothes slightly, she gracefully bowed slightly to Chunli and said:

"It's been so long since I've seen Chunli!"

"Uh...long time no see, haha..." Upon hearing this, Chun-Li's face also showed an indescribable expression.

I thought that after these few days of calm, and with elders at home, Garuda should have calmed down to some extent.
