My Anime Girlfriends

"How could that be? There's been a small problem with my cultivation. Is there anything wrong, Mai Zhuo?" Facing Mai Zhuo, Dong Tian smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked Mai Zhuo's smooth cheek, then raised his head and lightly kissed Mai Zhuo's red lips before asking with a smile.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? Am I too young? Just because you're married doesn't mean you can ignore me." After being kissed by Dong Tian, ​​Mai Zhuo's cheeks flushed slightly, but it was fleeting. Then, she reached out and licked her kissed lips seductively, giggling as she spoke.

Hearing Mai Zhuo say this, Dong Tian twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled slightly, stood up, leaned down to Mai Zhuo's ear with a playful look in his eyes, and whispered, "Mai Zhuo, can I take your behavior just now as an attempt to seduce me?" As he spoke, he breathed hot air into Mai Zhuo's ear.

"Hehe...that depends on whether you, little one, can resist my temptation." Feeling the heat on her ear, Mai Zhuo was not shy at all. Instead, she showed a look of infatuation. She wrapped her arms around Dong Tian's neck, pressed her curvaceous body, which was no less than that of Mai Shiranui, tightly against Dong Tian. She stood on tiptoe and brought her red lips less than an inch away from Dong Tian's mouth. Her breath was fragrant and carried a faint fragrance. She smiled and said.

Faced with Mai Zhuo's temptation, Dong Tian gave a wry smile. If it were a year or so ago, he would have taken her without hesitation, but after experiencing several worlds, he was no longer so impulsive. "Speak, Mai Zhuo, what is your purpose?" Dong Tian smiled slightly, looking at Mai Zhuo's charming face, and asked in a calm tone.

Upon hearing Dong Tian's question, Mai Zhuo was taken aback at first, then chuckled and released her arms from Dong Tian's neck, saying with a smile, "Hehe... Just a man who doesn't understand romance. You know what my clan's purpose is."

"Don't worry, I'm very interested in your 'King'. I happen to have something to ask him. If that guy Gonis hadn't caused such a ruckus, I wouldn't have stopped him from awakening his 'King'." Dong Tian smiled slightly, looking out the window, and said with great interest.

"Hehe... then I'm relieved. In that case, we can continue." Mai Zhuo smiled and wrapped her arms around Dong Tian's neck again, taking the initiative to kiss Dong Tian's lips.

"Mmm..." Dong Tian was slightly dazed by Mai Zhuo's kiss. By the time he tried to open his mouth to speak, Mai Zhuo's tongue had already invaded his mouth like a small snake, actively intertwining with his tongue, and the fragrance filled his mouth and nose.

Just as Dong Tian and Mai Zhuo were passionately kissing, an angry female voice came over and said, "Mai Zhuo, how could you do this?"

Hearing the woman's voice, Mai Zhuo reluctantly separated from Dong Tian, ​​a string of glistening silk still clinging to her lips. She smiled at the person entering the door and said, "Weis, you've come at the wrong time!" A playful expression appeared on her face as she deliberately pressed herself closer to Dong Tian. The newcomer was indeed Wei Si, who now looked like an angry leopard, glaring at Mai Zhuo, who was pressed tightly against Dong Tian.

"Weis, you're here!" Dong Tian knew the consequences of Weis's anger, but he found that Mai Zhuo's seemingly weak 'affectionate' actions were actually incredibly strong. He couldn't break free no matter what he did. If an ordinary person were held like that, their bones would have broken long ago. So he could only smile and greet her while Mai Zhuo was holding him.

"Hmph!" Weiss ignored Dong Tian, ​​snorted coldly, and instantly moved from the doorway to the two of them. She reached out and grabbed Dong Tian from Mai Zhuo's grasp. Dong Tian only felt his body sway violently, his blood surging, before he was already in Weiss's arms. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely have suffered broken bones in that movement. "Mai Zhuo, didn't you hear me telling you to let go?" Weiss was completely oblivious to the 'painful' expression on Dong Tian's face, and instead glared at Mai Zhuo and shouted loudly.

"Why should I let go? He's my little darling!" Mai Zhuo looked at the protective Wei Si, then flashed forward and pressed herself against Dong Tian again, smiling sweetly and speaking affectionately.

"Um..." Dong Tian was about to open his mouth to say something when his nearly 1-meter-tall body was already thrown to the other side by Wei Si. Dong Tian felt his bones even making a slightly unbearable sound, and his arms swung vertically as if they were boneless.

"Mai Zhuo, I forbid you to touch Tian, ​​do you understand?" Wei Si shouted at Mai Zhuo again as she dragged Dong Tian away from Mai Zhuo's 'attack range'.

“Hmm (drawing out the sound)... Weiss, he’s already someone else’s husband. Does that mean you won’t even allow his wife to touch him?” Mature asked with a hint of interest on her face.

“That’s a different matter. I can forgive other women, but not you.” When Weiss heard Mai Zhuo say this, her expression changed. She turned to look at Dong Tian, ​​whom she was holding, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. She reached out and gently stroked Dong Tian’s face, pressed her face against Dong Tian’s chest, and rubbed her head against him like a cat with a look of infatuation. Then she looked at Mai Zhuo and said.

"Why is that?" Mai Zhuo asked, a question mark appearing above her head as she listened to Wei Si's words.

"...I don't want the spoils to be divided unfairly." After a moment of contemplation, Weiss suddenly revealed this in an extremely serious tone.

"囧!"

Upon hearing what Wei Si said, Dong Tian and Mai Zhuo immediately broke out in a large sweat.

"Could it be... that I'm stolen goods?" Dong Tian looked at Wei Si, who was looking extremely serious, and asked weakly, his heart filled with doubt.

“Yes!” Weiss nodded immediately.

"Bang!" Dong Tian fell headfirst onto the floor.

"Heavens, are you alright?" Weiss immediately asked loudly.

"Ding-dong!" The doorbell rang, and Dong Tian, ​​who was lying on the floor, hurriedly stood up, straightened his slightly disheveled bathrobe, gestured for Wei Si and Mai Zhuo to be quiet, and then walked to the door and opened it.

"Leona, it's you! Haha...long time no see!" Dong Tian, ​​who was knocking on the door, was a little surprised to find that the person who came in was Leona from the 'Ikari Warriors'.

"Long time no see, Brother Dong! How are you?" Leona, dressed in a green military uniform, replied immediately and seriously.

"Good...very good. It's been over a month since I last saw you. You seem to have grown a little taller, and your figure is developing well." Dong Tian smiled slightly, patted Leanna's head with her light blue hair, and replied with a nonchalant smile.

Sixteen-year-old Leona met Dong Tian four years ago. Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the little girl has grown into a graceful young lady. Coupled with her long military life, she has developed a kind of heroic spirit that urban girls do not have. This time, she replaced Colonel Heaton in the preliminary round because she believed that her enemy, Nuga, was dead, and also because she wanted to test Leona.

Faced with Dong Tian's greeting, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Leanna's memories instantly flashed back to the time she spent with Dong Tian four years ago. Her previously cold expression melted instantly; even her long military service hadn't softened her. A blush crept across her face, and she glanced at Mature and Vice, who were bickering behind Dong Tian, ​​before asking, "Have I disturbed Brother Dong?"

"No, come in and sit down!" Hearing Leanna's question, Dong Tian smiled slightly and shook his head, intending to use Leanna as his 'shield', so he shook his head and said with a smile. As he spoke, he gestured for Leanna to enter the room.

When Leona walked in, Mature and Weiss were slightly taken aback, because they sensed a familiar aura emanating from her. Although they had seen Li Nana at Dong Tian's wedding banquet, they hadn't noticed her due to the distance. Mature and Weiss exchanged a knowing glance, nodded, and nodded.

After Leona sat down, Mature smiled and asked, "Hey, aren't you going to introduce us?"

"Alright! Her name is Leona, and she's one of the players on Team Ikari." Dong Tian smiled slightly and introduced Leona.

“We all know that. What I want to ask is your relationship,” Weiss said with a smile as soon as Dong Tian finished speaking.

"Relationship? We're good friends, or maybe siblings!" Dong Tian pondered for a moment, then looked at Leona, who was sitting upright on the sofa, and said.

"Is it really that simple?" Mai Zhuo asked doubtfully.

"Of course, otherwise what do you think our relationship is?" Dong Tian chuckled and asked back when he saw Mai Zhuo's reaction.

"Ding-dong!" The doorbell rang again. Dong Tian opened the door with a puzzled look on his face and found that it was Athena Asamiya. Of course, he couldn't let her stand outside, so he invited her into the room.

Two minutes later, the doorbell rang again. Shermie, dressed in red, stood outside the door. Dong Tian began to wonder if he was incompatible with this suite.

Five minutes later, the doorbell rang again, and King stood outside the sliding door.

Eight minutes later, the doorbell rang again. Kagura Chizuru, dressed in casual clothes, stood outside the sliding door.

Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang again and again. The door to the room opened, and Mai Shiranui stood outside with a slightly flushed face. When Dong Tian saw that the person he was waiting for had finally arrived, he couldn't help but show a troubled smile and said to Mai Shiranui, "Mai, you're here. Come in first. I think I need to make a phone call."

"Why are you making a phone call?" Mai Shiranui asked, puzzled.

"Let's have a party!" Dong Tian said with a wry smile, turning slightly to the side and pointing at the eight beautiful women in the room.

Chapter 396 Benimaru VS Mature

Just as Dong Tian was partying with the women, an unexpected person appeared in Yagami's room—it was none other than one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Eight Orochi—Storm, Gonis. It turned out that Storm had already arrived at the arena and was hiding in the room where Mature, Vice, and Shermie were resting. His purpose was threefold: first, to tempt Yagami with the promise of 'dark power' to make her abandon her obligations as a member of the 'Three Sacred Treasures Clan'; second, to test Dong Tian's reaction, hoping he wouldn't obstruct them; and third, to disrupt the tournament, to warn Wan Gui and show her how unrealistic it was to think that human strength could defeat the 'Heavenly Gods'.

Now, through Mai Zhuo's probing, it has become clear that Dong Tian will not pose any obstacle or trouble to his clan's desire to awaken the great serpent, OROCHI.

"Hmph... If you do as agreed, I'll tell you how to use 'Dark Power'?" Looking at Yagami, who was holding purple flames, Storm revealed a smug sneer as he spoke. Last time, he had also planned to do this, but failed due to Dong Tian's interference. However, the power of 'Dark Power' had already left a deep impression on Yagami. For someone like Yagami, who always craved immense power, Dark Power was an absolutely irresistible temptation.

“Really!” Yagami wasn’t interested in the conditions proposed by Storm. Anyway, he didn’t care about those bullshit family missions. All he cared about was whether the power was strong enough.

"Of course." Storm smiled and nodded, then disappeared into the room.

Watching the storm disappear, Yagami grinned, the purple flames in his hand suddenly surging up. He rested his hand on his forehead and muttered, "Haha... dark power! This is so interesting, hahaha... hahaha!"

........................

The KOF tournament continued the following day. The damaged ring and the pillars that could create a protective magnetic field were restored to their original condition thanks to the staff's overnight efforts. Amidst the anticipation of thousands of spectators, the tournament's referee and emcee stepped onto the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't waste any more time with pleasantries. So, which two teams will be competing in the third round of the semi-finals? The answer will soon be displayed on the computer screen." The referee realized that his rambling would only annoy the audience, so he got straight to the point. As the referee spoke, the team avatars on the huge electronic screen flashed rapidly, and with a series of beeps, the first team was selected.

After seeing the first team selected, the referee immediately announced, "Ah, the first team drawn is 'Team Heaven,' a team composed of three beautiful ladies. Don't underestimate them! According to the tournament information, just like the Women's Fighters Team, they entered the semi-finals with a perfect record in the preliminary rounds. They are one of the strongest teams." He then turned his gaze to the large screen, awaiting the next team to be drawn, and said in a drawn-out tone, "So… let's see… the other team is… Team Kusanagi! Last year's runner-up, and this year, it's our familiar Kusanagi Kyo!" Upon seeing this result, the referee immediately exclaimed excitedly.

After the draw results were announced, Mature and Vice couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. They stood up and walked out of the lounge, side by side, into the passageway leading to the arena, which was used by the other contestants. Shermie, a member of the 'Heavenly Team,' remained still, quietly sitting in the lounge, watching the live broadcast on the television in her room with a smile. She seemed to have no intention of participating at all. In the passageway, Mature, smiling, said to Vice beside her with a charming laugh, "The outcome is decided, Vice. I'll make the first move and meet the Three Sacred Treasures Clan."

When Weiss heard what Mature said, her smile froze, and she complained with a hint of annoyance, "I know, Mature, next time we play rock-paper-scissors, I definitely won't lose to you."

"Hehe...Are you angry? Don't worry, I'll leave you an opponent." Mai Zhuo looked at the annoyed Wei Si and said with a smile. Then she straightened her posture and slowly walked out of the passage with Wei Si, receiving applause from the audience.

In the other passage, Benimaru, walking alongside Kyo Kusanagi and Daimon, suddenly covered his face with his hands in a distressed manner, saying in a slightly sad tone, "What should we do, Kyo? Our opponents are all lovely ladies, I really can't bring myself to do it!"

"If you can't bear to do it, then I'll do it myself." With a serious expression, Daimon believed him and thought that Benimaru really couldn't bring himself to do it, so he immediately spoke up, patting Benimaru's shoulder as if to comfort him.

"Daimon, you wish! To prevent this beautiful lady from falling victim to your cruelty, I must be the first to go!" Hearing Daimon's words, Benimaru immediately brushed aside Daimon's large hand from her shoulder and declared righteously. Then, looking expectantly at Kyo Kusanagi, she asked, "Kyo, I don't think you'll mind, will you?"

"Whatever you want. Anyway, I have absolutely no interest in anyone other than those two." Kyo Kusanagi smiled slightly at Benimaru's expression and answered without objection. He knew that although Benimaru was lecherous, he would never hold back and lose a match just because the opponent was a beautiful woman.

"Then, I, Nikaido Benimaru, will make my entrance first! Beautiful ladies, accept my love!" Seeing Kyo agree, Benimaru's handsome face revealed a charming smile as he spoke self-satisfiedly. Watching Benimaru mutter to himself, Kyo Kusanagi and Goro Daimon immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

................................................

After exiting the passage, Benimaru glanced at Mature and Vice, who were already there. Intending to show off, he swiftly and gracefully leaped onto the arena, eliciting screams from the spectators. Seeing Benimaru's display, Mature's lips curled into a cold smile. With a swift movement, she appeared on the arena, a gust of wind in her eyes, a mocking glint in her gaze as she looked at Benimaru.

Seeing Mature's movements, Benimaru couldn't help but suppress his slight contempt. A glint of light flashed in his eyes. He had already realized that Mature was definitely not as weak as she appeared on the surface. Her movements when she stepped onto the stage had already proven everything.

After the referee announced the start of the match, neither Benimaru nor Mature made a move immediately. Mature hesitated because she wanted to know Benimaru's 'weight', while Benimaru's reluctance stemmed from pure male chauvinism; sometimes, men should be mindful of their manners.

"Why haven't you made a move yet?" Seeing that Benimaru hadn't made a move for a long time, Mai Zhuo smiled and asked.

Benimaru immediately grinned and said in a very gentlemanly manner, "Excuse me, I never attack ladies first, especially beautiful ladies."

Hearing Benimaru say that, Mature smiled slightly and said in a cold tone, "Is that so? Then I won't be polite." After saying that, she flashed and moved in front of Benimaru, and smiled slightly at him.

Benimaru's eyes widened in surprise at Mature suddenly appearing before him, his expression one of utter disbelief. He had never imagined that someone could possess such terrifying speed without using 'Absolute Territory'. Little did Benimaru know that among the eight heroes of the 'Heavenly Clan,' Mature, whose elemental power was 'light,' was undoubtedly the fastest. However, her strength was far weaker compared to the 'Four Heavenly Kings,' so even her speed, the only thing she could praise, seemed insignificant under the influence of Absolute Power.

Just as Benimaru was still amazed by Mature's speed, Mature smiled slightly at the astonished Benimaru, her small mouth opening and closing a few times. With a wave of her arm, four light blades shot out from her hand and attacked Benimaru. If Benimaru could read lips, he would have realized that the few times Mature opened and closed her small mouth were saying the words "Goodbye".

Chapter 397 The Beginning of the Crushing Defeat of Operation Benimaru

Benimaru, a highly skilled fighter, possessed formidable strength. Even before the light blades reached him, he reacted quickly, his body moving swiftly backward. With a tearing sound, four curved blades slashed across Benimaru's chest, leaving over a dozen half-inch-deep wounds. Had he not dodged in time, he would likely have been disemboweled. Even so, the force of the blades caused a rush of blood to his head. He was shocked; he hadn't expected that Mature's seemingly four light blades could leave over a dozen wounds on his chest. However, he didn't know that among the Eight Heroes, Mature's innate attribute, 'Light,' naturally represented speed. Her preferred attacks were with her hands, utilizing high-speed movement and gathering internal power to create numerous afterimages resembling light blades, instantly inflicting several jagged wounds on the enemy. What appeared to be a single strike often resulted in three or four wounds on the enemy's body.

"Don't even think about escaping." Mai Zhuo watched Benimaru retreat, a slight smirk playing on her lips. Her expression turned cold, revealing a chilling smile. With light, graceful steps, she chased after him like a shadow.

Benimaru felt a surge of anger as Mature closely pursued him. He had never suffered such a loss before. With a speed imperceptible to the naked eye and a sonic boom, he kicked at Mature with his right foot. It was the "Iaijutsu," one of the Nikaido family's traditional martial arts techniques.

"Hmph...useless." Mature chuckled, pressing down with one hand, which landed squarely on Benimaru's right leg. Using the momentum, she flipped upwards, her graceful figure spinning in the air. Her right hand then drew out an arc-shaped blade of light, accompanied by a tearing sound, and attacked Benimaru's face. It was the "Hand of Despair" (Hand of Despair: →↓↘+A or C).

Facing the attack about to land on his face, Benimaru felt as if his hair was about to stand on end (in fact, his hair was already standing on end), and his pupils rapidly contracted. "Ah!" With a roar from Benimaru, the light blade actually pierced through his head. The imagined scene of blood splattering did not occur; it turned out that what Mature had pierced was merely an afterimage left by Benimaru's emergency evasion. The real Benimaru had already moved into Mature's attack range, his right fist crackling with electricity. With a soft shout, his right fist immediately flashed with dazzling electricity, accompanied by a 'sizzling' sound, and attacked Mature, who was still standing there.

"Haha... You're quite capable, handsome young man." Mai Zhuo quickly chided coquettishly, and her body, which was in mid-air, instantly reversed like a bird that could fly freely in the air, and suddenly sank downwards, falling onto the arena with a 'thud,' just barely dodging Benimaru's attack.

As if he had already sensed that his attack would be in vain, Benimaru hurriedly retreated to the edge of the arena the moment Mature landed. He quickly recovered his energy, let out a soft shout, and his face flashed red. His body crackled with electricity, and he had already entered the state of 'Absolute Domain' activation, with his aura surging.

As Benimaru unleashed his Absolute Territory, Mature sneered, instantly bridging the distance between them and appearing before Benimaru. With her left hand, she drew a two-meter-long arc of light blade from bottom to top, tearing through Benimaru's tight-fitting clothing with a "rip" and leaving three claw marks on his body. Not content with the initial strike, Mature continued her attack. After drawing the light blade from bottom to top, she immediately swung her left hand, drawing another light blade horizontally from right to left. The instant Benimaru was knocked back, she took a step forward and delivered another blow, completing a 3-hit combo in a flash. This left Benimaru, who was maintaining his Absolute Territory, slightly injured and forced to retreat. As a powerful figure like Benimaru, when activating 'Absolute Territory', in addition to a surge in attack power, his defense also increases to a terrifying level. This is because his body surface is already covered with powerful energy (similar to protective aura), making his body harder than ordinary steel. Otherwise, Mature's combo attack would have already disemboweled him.

"Roar!" Having suffered two consecutive defeats, Benimaru felt his pride had been insulted like never before. Filled with rage, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared, his voice echoing throughout the arena, deafeningly loud. He unleashed his full lightning power, instantly surrounding himself with dazzling lightning. As if responding to Benimaru's fury, a bolt of lightning struck from the clear sky, striking the center of the arena and merging with the lightning on Benimaru's body. This instantly propelled Benimaru's power to the absolute peak, a level unmatched by any of the other strong fighters. In an instant, Benimaru's aura surged, and the pillars maintaining the protective magnetic field around him were destroyed the moment the lightning struck. In the stands, countless spectators felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their bodies paralyzed.

"Hmph, a mere trick." Faced with the overwhelming power of Benimaru, Mature paused for a moment, then immediately snorted coldly and said contemptuously. Suddenly, her body emitted a strong black light, which acted like a black hole, absorbing all the lightning that struck Mature.

In an instant, all the fighters felt an immense, indescribable power erupt from the arena, which was enveloped in lightning. Along with this power, the sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning, twice as thick as the previous one, ripped through the clouds. A deafening clap of thunder, accompanied by a chilling crackling sound, transformed into a bolt of lightning and slammed into the lightning-encircled arena. All the powerful fighters simultaneously cried out in their hearts, "This power has triggered divine retribution!"

"Aaaaaah!" Benimaru suddenly let out a hysterical roar on the arena. It turned out that the power of divine punishment had merged with Benimaru's lightning ability, as if it wanted to use him to execute Mature, this outcast. However, this powerful force was beyond Benimaru's ability to withstand at this moment, and the consequences of forcibly enduring it would only be...

"Ugh!" Benimaru coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes bloodshot, veins bulging on his face, his expression one of extreme pain. His upper body clothing was instantly burned away by the lightning. With astonishing willpower, Benimaru briefly regained control of his body and threw a punch at Mature.

The instant Benimaru threw his punch, Mature let out a clear cry, and the black light around her body flashed suddenly. As if gliding directly across the ground, she rushed towards Benimaru at high speed. This was Mature's strongest killing move, Heaven's Gate.

"MAX-Super Lightning Fist VS Heaven's Gate!" "'Absolute Territory' Peak Power + Heaven's Punishment Power" VS "Dark Power!"

"Boom!" A series of deafening explosions rang out, and the arena that had been repaired overnight was once again reduced to a pile of ruins. In addition to the arena, the ground within a dozen meters around the arena was also turned upside down, stirring up a large amount of dust.

In the stands, the audience stared in disbelief at what they had just witnessed. The first thing everyone did upon regaining their senses was to check their entire bodies, trying to determine if they were still alive. The impact had been so intense that survival seemed virtually impossible. After confirming several times, the audience breathed a sigh of relief—they were alive. This puzzled them. When the dust settled, they discovered that a tempered glass wall, about five meters high and one meter thick, had risen from the grass in front of the stands, along with a row of pillars that could generate a protective magnetic field.

On the arena, Mature, dressed in a sophisticated urban business suit, stood somewhat disheveled on a huge shard of broken arena metal, her arms hanging limply at her sides, clearly indicating that her arms had been injured. Benimaru, on the other hand, had already fainted, lying in a large crater forcibly melted by lightning.

Mature looked at the unconscious Benimaru, a hint of anger flashing across her beautiful face. "Damn it, I was caught off guard and suffered a loss. I didn't expect her to unleash such powerful strength." Just as Mature was speaking, a red figure suddenly landed beside her. It was Vice.

"Mature, you've ruined the arena. It'll take several days to repair it. Why don't we just leave it as it is?" Vice said with a smile, looking at the somewhat disheveled Mature.

Mai Zhu smiled slightly, glancing at the location of her team's rest area. Seeing Shermie nodding slightly in her direction, she immediately smiled and nodded back, saying, "That's true! But we'll have to wait a bit." As she spoke, she and Weiss looked towards the window of the rest area for Dong Tian's female fighter team.

In the women's fighters' rest room, Dong Tian, ​​who had run there, saw Weiss and Mai Zhuo already gathered together. He pretended to be very tired, stretched, and said to the three women, "You guys keep watching! I suddenly feel so tired, I'm going to take a nap." Without waiting for the women's reaction, he turned and left the rest room.
