Although Mai Shiranui tried her best to hide her feelings, I still noticed her disappointed expression. I immediately hugged her and held her in my arms, looking at her and slowly saying, "Little Mai, you are the first person to know, so I'm going to take you flying!" After saying that, a strong wind carried me and Mai Shiranui in my arms and slowly flew into the sky.

When I had flown nearly a thousand meters above the yacht with Mai Shiranui in my arms, I stopped and looked at the dazed Mai in my arms, saying, "This is another of my abilities, the ability to control the omnipresent wind." I paused slightly and then said, "...Mai... isn't the starry sky beautiful?"

When I asked that, Mai Shiranui looked up at the stars that seemed within reach, paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded at me, saying, "Yes, beautiful, Tian-gege, the stars in the sky are really beautiful when viewed like this...!"

After Mai Shiranui finished speaking, I slowly raised my head and looked at the beautiful starry sky. A sad expression appeared in my eyes as I said, "Mai, do you know? I often look at the stars like this by myself because it reminds me of many things from the past. But... I can no longer look up at the stars with her!"

When Mai Shiranui saw the sadness in my eyes, she seemed to have guessed that the 'she' I was talking about was definitely not herself. An indescribable pain instantly filled her chest. After barely suppressing her emotions, she looked at me and slowly asked, "Brother Tian, ​​who...who is she?"

When she asked me that, I gave a bitter smile and looked at the distant starry sky, slowly saying, "She...she was the first person I ever loved...and my dearest love..." Tears involuntarily streamed down my face.

When Xiaowu saw the tears on my face, she could no longer control her emotions. Tears began to flow uncontrollably from her eyes, slowly falling down her smooth cheeks. Because the wind around us was being lifted upwards by my control, Xiaowu's tears did not fall downwards as they fell from her cheeks, but instead rose slowly upwards and dripped onto my face.

As I reminisced about the past, I suddenly felt a chill on my face. Only then did I realize that the beautiful woman in my arms was trembling. When I looked down, I saw that Mai Shiranui looked heartbroken. From the tear stains on her face, I knew that I had just deeply hurt her, and now the only thing I could do to make amends was...

I lowered my head and kissed him on the lips, a deep and passionate kiss, and I don't know how long it lasted... before our lips parted.

Looking at Mai Shiranui's puzzled expression, I smiled and said, "Silly girl, you are you, and she is her. I will never treat you as a substitute for her. You will always be my Mai."

Upon hearing my words, Mai Shiranui immediately looked at me with a complicated expression and slowly asked, "Brother Tian, ​​is it... alright for us to do this?"

Hearing her say that, I lowered my head and asked in a questioning tone, "Is it not allowed for me to kiss my lovely fiancée? We've already gone to that extent?"

Upon hearing this, Mai Shiranui immediately blushed and said, "Oh, Tian-nii! I'm asking if it's really okay for us to do this..."

The smile on my face vanished, and I looked at her seriously, slowly saying, "I think... she will forgive me!" Then I kissed her again.

Mai Shiranui, whom I kissed, immediately hugged me tightly, her lips eagerly responding to my tongue. Feeling her passion, I couldn't help but hug her even tighter.

After the kiss ended, I held Mai Shiranui, who was breathing heavily, and looked down at the yacht below. I said to Mai, "We should go down too. Kyo and Yuri will be worried if they can't find us."

Hearing me say that, Mai Shiranui nodded obediently, and I immediately flew back to the deck of the yacht. Just as Mai and I landed, a familiar voice reached my ears: "Brother Tian!" I immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw Athena and Kensou running towards us excitedly.

When Athena ran up to me, she immediately jumped into my arms and said, "Great! It really is Brother Tian! (Athena is 15 years old now and still a bit childish). It's been so long! I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

"Yes, it's been a long time, Xiaoya. Oh, and Xiaozhui too, it's been a long time." I said with a smile.

As soon as I finished speaking, Athena smiled and said, "When Master told us that you were here, we started looking for you, but I couldn't find you no matter how hard I looked. I thought Master was lying to us, but I didn't expect Brother Tian to really come!"

Seeing her adorable expression, I immediately smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, by the way, the banquet is almost over, let's hurry inside!"

Upon hearing this, Kensou immediately smiled and said, "Brother Dong, the banquet is over. I don't know what happened earlier, but the participants got into a fight, so the banquet ended early." He then slapped his forehead and added, "Oh, right, there's also a blonde lady from the British team looking for you, Brother Dong. She's currently in the banquet hall..."

Upon hearing this, I immediately said to Athena and Kensou, "I'm sorry, Athena and Athena. I'll come to see you at the inn again when I have time. I have to go now." With that, I grabbed Mai Shiranui's hand and ran towards the lobby.

Chapter 51 South Korean Team

When Mai Shiranui and I entered the banquet hall, it was in complete chaos. Apart from the waiters tidying up, only Kyo and Yuri were standing there waiting for us. I immediately pulled Mai Shiranui over and said to them, "Kyo, Yuri, I'm sorry! I didn't expect the banquet to end early and made you worry."

Yuri immediately ran to my side and took my arm, saying, "Brother Tian, ​​you're so unfair! You only take Sister Wu out to play, but you don't take Yuri!"

Hearing her say that, I immediately laughed and said, "Who told you to be kidnapped by your father and brother!"

Hearing me say that, Yuli immediately smiled and said, "That's true, Brother Tian. You know what? Brother and Dad were really mean to me just now, but when I told them I was with Brother Tian, ​​they stopped blaming me, hehe..."

Looking at Yuri's smug face, I immediately smiled and said, "Isn't it because Uncle Sakazaki and Ryo were concerned about you? You ran off to Kyo's place without a word, so it's understandable that they were upset with you."

Hearing me say that, Yuli pouted and puffed out her cheeks. Seeing this, I immediately raised my hand and flicked her forehead with my finger. Yuli immediately covered her forehead and said, "Brother Tian, ​​it hurts!" Then, as if she remembered something, she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, right, Brother Tian, ​​while your Sister Hong was out, the teams for our first battle were decided by drawing lots. Our ship will arrive at its destination tomorrow!"

Seeing her adorable expression, I immediately smiled and said, "Oh, you already know which team we're in! That's good!"

Mai Shiranui, who was standing next to me, immediately said excitedly, "Really? We must show them what we're made of!"

As we were talking, I turned to Jing, whose expression seemed a little off, and said, "Jing, I think we should go back to our rooms now and get some rest. We'll be going to different locations to participate in competitions starting tomorrow."

Jing looked at me with a complicated expression, then turned to Yuli and Xiaowu with a smile and said, "Alright, Yuli and Xiaowu, listen to your Tian-gege. Let's go back to our rooms first. We can talk about it tomorrow." With that, she pulled Xiaowu and Yuli toward her room. I smiled and followed them toward my room (my room was next to theirs).

When we woke up the next day, the ship had arrived at Busan Port in South Korea, and we had reached our destination. Since the first match of the finals was against the South Korean team, the organizers arranged for us to stay in a hotel in South Korea. Then we had to wait for the first match to begin, while the other teams were sent to different venues.

"Brother Tian, ​​come and eat this, it's delicious..."

"Yuri, eat slowly, there's still plenty left."

"Yuri has quite an appetite! By the way, Kyo, are you reading the newspaper? Is there any big news?" I asked with a smile, watching Yuri eat.

“You’ll see when you take a look!” Jing said, handing me the newspaper.

"Oh, thank you..." I smiled and took the newspaper.

I slowly read the headline of the newspaper: "A chaotic brawl at the pre-match banquet of the King of Fighters Tournament... Five injured, losses amounting to approximately $50,000..." After reading it, I asked Jing in confusion, "What exactly happened? Why did the fight break out?"

Jing pointed directly at Yuri and said, "You should ask Yuri!"

Yuri, who was eating noodles, stopped eating and looked at Jing timidly, asking, "Jin... Jin-neechan, did you see everything?"

"Yes! I can see it very clearly." Jing nodded somewhat helplessly.

Seeing Kyo's reaction, I looked at Yuri and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Seeing my childish expression, Yuri weakly explained, "Actually, it was Daddy and my brother who were wrong. They were mean to me from the beginning, and I couldn't help but throw a bottle..."

After hearing how it all started, I suddenly felt the urge to joke. I immediately said to Yuri with a serious expression, "Yuri, you'd better pack your things and go back to Kyodo Stream. The police probably already know you caused this, and they might have already sent someone to arrest you. They're right outside the door, and they'll kick the door open and arrest you..." Just as I finished speaking, the door to our room was pushed open forcefully, and three menacing-looking policemen walked in.

As soon as they entered, they said, "You guys are Dong Tian, ​​Jing, Mai Shiranui, and Yuri Sakazaki... You're right, aren't you!"

Jing paused for a moment and asked, "That's us. Is there something you need?"

A policeman with a hideous scar on his face spoke up: "I'm sorry to disturb your meal, but please come with us."

They had barely finished speaking when Yuri, terrified, rushed into my arms, crying, "Don't grab me...don't grab me...Yuri knows she was wrong...!"

Jing looked at Yuri, who was calling out in my arms, and then coldly said to the person who came in, "What if we say 'no'?"

Upon hearing Kim's words, one of the policemen immediately shouted angrily, "What did you say?" and prepared to draw his pistol.

The policeman who opened the door and questioned us immediately stopped him, saying, "Stop it, you idiot!" Hearing his voice, the policeman who was about to draw his gun lowered his hand after giving him a fierce look.

After stopping his colleague, the scarred policeman immediately turned to us and said, "Please don't interfere with our work, please cooperate!"

Jing looked at me, and I nodded. She stood up from her seat and said, "OK, I understand. There's no point in arguing with you here! Let's go!"

Hearing Jing say this, the policeman nodded in satisfaction and walked out of the room first.

After leaving, we got into a police car used to transport prisoners. With the officer's explanation, Mai Shiranui and the others finally understood that they were not there to arrest Yuri, but to take us to the KOF tournament venue in South Korea, a special venue set up in South Korea's largest prison, 'Cheonhousan Prison'. We also learned that two of our opponents were members who were not allowed to leave the prison.

Entering the changing room arranged for the players, changing into their casual clothes and putting on their own battle gear, Kyo said to Mai Shiranui and Yuri, "No matter who the opponent is or what kind of people they are, it has nothing to do with us. Our most important thing right now is to win this holy war!" With that, the three of them ran from the passage towards the arena.

As they reached the exit of the passage, I walked out from one of the groups and said to them with a smile, "Good luck, you three beauties!"

“You don’t need to tell me!” Jing said immediately with a smile.

“Yes!” Mai and Yuri nodded immediately.

At the same time, the host's voice rang out through the loudspeakers throughout the entire 'Tianhou Mountain Prison': "Now it's time for the British team to enter...!"

Chapter 52 The Despicable South Korean Team

When Kyo, Mai Shiranui, and Yuri entered the arena, the three girls, who had expected to be cursed by the nationalistic South Koreans, were mentally prepared for everything. However, to their surprise, they were greeted with enthusiastic applause and a warm welcome from the South Korean audience, which made the three girls feel flattered and overwhelmed.

At this moment, the South Korean team also entered the arena, but instead of applause, a deafening barrage of curses erupted from the stage. Then, Kyo, Mai Shiranui, and Yuri saw a young man in a Taekwondo uniform walk out. He was none other than Kim Kaphwan, South Korea's top Taekwondo master. Behind him followed a bald, overweight man with a full beard, standing about 2.3 or 2.4 meters tall. The man carried a black iron ball connected by a chain, and they strode out menacingly.

He yelled, "Shut up! You trash! If we lose to these little girls, how will we ever survive?" He then swaggered into the arena, brandishing the large iron ball in his hand. As he walked, he shouted, "I've been locked up in prison for years, so I'm bursting with energy! I'll finish the match in three seconds, you better watch out!!" He then repeatedly banged his head against the iron ball, producing a metallic clanging sound.

Under the referee's guidance, the team led by Kim Kaphwan stood opposite Kyung, Mai, and Yuri. After observing Chen Kehan ​​up close, Yuri couldn't help but think of the word 'monster'.

The referee began his pre-match speech. Knowing that Kim Kaphwan was a world-renowned Taekwondo master, Xiao Wu immediately smiled and said, "Kim Kaphwan, your teammates are truly extraordinary. I thought you would form a Taekwondo team!"

Kim Kaphwan immediately said, "Taekwondo is one of the strongest martial arts in the world. To prove that, I alone am enough!" Kim Kaphwan did not make any overstatement because he knew that his Taekwondo would not have any advantage over someone who was far stronger than him.

Upon hearing Kim Kaphwan's words, Kyung immediately laughed and said, "Hmph... what a boastful tone... I wonder if you can even beat my footwork?"

Kim Kap-bum looked at Kyung and pointed to the large, fat Chen Khan behind him, saying, "If you want to fight, take down those two first! If you can manage that..."

Yuri looked at Chen Kehan, who was holding the iron ball and had a 'smile' on his face, and asked in confusion, "You said 'two people,' so where is the other person?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a sharp, cold laugh came from Chen Kehan. Then, she saw a blur before her eyes as a short figure suddenly sprang out from the fat Chen Kehan's arms and attacked her quickly. The incident happened so suddenly that Yuri felt a sharp pain in her waist. Several bloody wounds were instantly slashed across her waist, and blood immediately gushed out, staining her white taekwondo uniform red.

Kyo, who was next to Yuri, barely had time to react, but the figure was too fast. Without using 'Absolute Territory', Kyo was unable to block the opponent's ready attack. The enemy instantly slashed several wounds on her chest, and her clothes were torn, revealing a black lace-trimmed bra under her coat.

Mai, who hadn't yet been attacked, was about to step forward to argue when Chen Kehan's iron ball slammed down upon her. Struck, Mai was sent flying backward, crashing into someone standing behind her. This also sent Kyo flying, and the two of them crashed heavily into the iron netting surrounding the arena. Mai, hit head-on, immediately felt her blood surging and coughed up blood. But the attack wasn't over. Ignoring the bleeding Mai, Chen Kehan ​​instantly appeared before them, taking a few steps to reach them. He then struck Mai from below with the iron ball, the force of which shattered the iron netting behind them and sent it flying off the field.

After being knocked down and left the field, Wu and Jing lost their ability to fight back. Chen Kehan ​​immediately joined the attack on Youli. While Youli was distracted by the incredibly fast Cai Baojian, Chen Kehan ​​strangled Youli from behind with an iron chain, rendering her unable to move. Cai Baojian then left scratches all over her body with his claws.

Kim Kap-pang, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly called out to Chen Kehan ​​and Cai Baojian, saying, "Cai Baojian... that's enough!" Cai Baojian immediately jumped back to Kim Kap-pang's side, while Chen Kehan ​​remained on the ring.

After they stopped fighting, the referee immediately came up to Chen Kehan ​​and explained, "Chen Kehan... the match is one-on-one, and it can only begin after I give the signal! Let's take a break for now!" He then waved for the medical staff to come over.

In the medical room, looking at the three injured women receiving basic treatment, an unspeakable anger welled up inside me. I went straight to Jing, who was closest to me, and said to the nurse who was bandaging her, "Nurse, can I take care of her?"

The pretty young nurse, probably not even twenty, smiled and said, "Sir, please don't worry, we will take good care of your girlfriend!"

Hearing the nurse say that, I paused for a moment and said, "Well... never mind, could we be alone together?"

Hearing me say that, the nurse looked at me and then at Jing, smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, but only five minutes!"

"Thank you!" I quickly said with a smile.

After the nurses left, I looked down at Kyo, whose face was a little pale, and said, "Kyo, I'm going to use a special ability to heal you now. In order to avoid leaving any scars, I need to remove the bandage on your chest, so... I'm sorry!"

Hearing what I said, Jing seemed to realize what I was going to do and nodded with a slight blush.

Seeing her nod, I slowly began to unwrap the bandages around her chest. After I unwrapped them all, I was stunned. Because Kyo had been wearing that evening gown-like dress, I hadn't noticed until I got closer. I realized that Kyo's figure was no less impressive than my fiancée, Mai Shiranui, especially the two pink cherries at the top. Even the shocking wounds on her chest couldn't stop the attraction. I couldn't help but reach up with both hands and gently pinch her breasts.

"Ah..." Jing couldn't help but let out a sound. It was because of this sound that I realized what was happening. I slowly moved my hand to the wound and began to use my healing superpower to treat her. Soon, her wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short while, her wound was completely healed, as if she had never been injured at all. Then I healed Yuri and Xiaowu's wounds as well.

After doing all that, I turned around and walked out of the room, saying to the staff at the door, "I am a substitute for the women's fighting team, and I will participate in the next match."

The staff member paused for a moment, then quickly flipped through the documents in his hand, nodded, and said, "Okay, Mr. Dong Tian…!" He then ran towards the control room.

When the referee announced that I, as the substitute, would participate in the match, most of the audience was stunned for a moment, because 70% of them didn't know that I was a substitute in the 'Women's Fighting Team'. On the stage, I was wearing a casual outfit, my long hair tied back and fluttering in the wind, and I smiled at Chen Kehan, who was still standing on the stage, and said, "You were involved in what happened just now, weren't you?"

Chen Kehan ​​looked at me and said, "I thought it was someone important, but it turns out he's just a pretty boy. So what if I did it!"

As soon as Chen Kehan ​​finished speaking, the smile on my face vanished, and my aura changed drastically, becoming as cold as ice, causing the audience to tremble involuntarily. Although Chen Kehan ​​sensed the change in my demeanor, he merely spat to the side and said, "Pretty boy, scared? Why aren't you saying anything?"

After he finished speaking, I said in an icy tone, "No... I just want you to taste what terror is like..."

The instant she saw my expression, Mai Shiranui's pupils widened as she stood on the players' bench, as if she had seen something terrifying. She murmured, "Brother Tian, ​​he... he's angry!"

Kyo and Yuri also heard what she said and asked, "What... Xiaowu, what did you just say?"
