A World Where Only Xie Yue Got Hurt
"Boss, be gentle, it hurts..." Yan said, grimacing.
Li Kai's face flushed red, and he didn't even have time to speak.
"Can you please be quiet, hmm?" Zhou You smiled kindly, but tightened his grip. "At least in front of me, I don't want to see the two of you fighting again. Can you do that?"
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say, boss! Relax, relax! I can't breathe..."
Although Li Kai didn't say anything, he had clearly given in. He had no choice but to submit, since Zhou You had already neutralized all his strength, and he couldn't retaliate even if he wanted to.
Zhou You's decision to let go allowed the two to regain their freedom and catch their breath.
"Hiss--" Yan rubbed the muscles in his neck and gasped for breath, secretly shocked.
He was completely powerless to fight back!
This aroused his intense curiosity about the potion that Zhou You had just mentioned.
"Boss, can I use this too?"
"I can't guarantee it, but there's a high probability it will work."
With the Spirit Hall's financial resources, once they truly set their mind on something, there are few things they cannot accomplish.
Although Whale Rubber is rare, as long as the profits are large enough, the Spirit Hall has plenty of Soul Masters willing to hunt down Sea Soul Beasts, and it might even be possible to develop an entire industry chain.
Therefore, Zhou You's answer was quite optimistic, and Yan immediately became happy after hearing it. He was Power Attack System Battle Soul Master, and improving his physical attributes would be a huge benefit for him.
Similarly, Xie Yue, Sun Chuantao, Li Kai, and others also showed delight. No one would dislike something that directly enhances one's strength.
Have you been busy with this for the past month?
Hearing Hu Liena's question, Zhou You suddenly realized that he and Yue Guan had been in seclusion for a month.
"It seems you really don't care about us!" Hu Liena sighed.
After the last practical exercise, she had accepted the fact that Zhou You's strength was not on the same level as theirs, and gave up the unrealistic idea of trying to control him.
Even so, you should at least participate in team training, right? Otherwise, what's the point of me going through the trouble of bringing you in?
With the holiday almost over, and the team still in such a disorganized state, Hu Liena felt utterly exhausted!
Just as Zhou You was about to say something, his waist suddenly moved, and the opening of the Wishful Treasure Bag a small, furry head peeking out with its bulging mouth, seemingly chewing on something.
Before Zhou You could press its head back down, two sharp explosions rang out.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Two fragrant breezes wafted over, and Hu Liena and Zhang Ping crowded together, their two little heads huddled together, looking down at the Treasure Bag at Zhou You's waist...
This posture was too easy to misunderstand, so he subtly took a few steps back, creating some distance.
Unexpectedly, Hu Liena grabbed his belt. "Don't go!"
This put Zhou You in a very awkward position.
Zhang Ping calmed down and realized what Hu Liena had done, and two cute blushes involuntarily rose on her face.
She quietly tugged at Hu Liena's sleeve, reminding her to be more reserved.
Hu Liena immediately came to her senses and, blushing, let go of his hand.
"... I'm sorry..."
"Fine..."
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Fortunately, Grandpa Feidian intervened in time. Its little eyes darted around, and it darted directly onto Zhou You's body, climbing onto his shoulder.
The two little girls were immediately drawn to it, their eyes following its upward movement as they gazed at the proud Xiao Bai Diao perched on Zhou You's shoulder.
"It's so beautiful!"
Feidian does look quite good. As a mustelid, it doesn't have scent glands and is cleaner than its peers, frequently cleaning itself.
So its fur was smooth and shiny, looking like silk, and with its cute little head, wet little eyes, and innocent little expression, it instantly captured the hearts of the two little girls.
"Can I touch it?" Hu Liena asked eagerly.
Zhang Ping didn't speak, but her eyes were clearly bright and sparkling, and her anticipation was visibly overflowing.
Zhou You didn't agree immediately, but instead turned to look at Feidian.
The master and servant were of one mind. The sable seemed to understand his thoughts, so it lowered its head and jumped directly onto Hu Liena, darting around on her shoulders and head.
Wow! It's so fast!
The two only felt a flash of white light, and the Xiao Bai Diao was already on Hu Liena's body. Zhang Ping tried to grab it, but it easily dodged her.
Hu Liena tried to catch it, but it jumped onto Zhang Ping instead.
Using the two little girls' bodies as a runway, Feidian constantly twisted and turned, never getting caught. The two girls didn't seem to care and were having just as much fun.
"That is..." Sun Chuantao's expression was somewhat solemn at this moment. Xu Yu quietly leaned over and asked, "Boss, do you know anything about that mink?"
Sun Chuantao nodded subconsciously. "This animal... uh, mink, does look a bit like Lightning Marten."
He remembered that the little Xiao Bai Diao had escaped from Zhou You's Treasure Bag, clearly his pet, and promptly changed his tune.
Xu Yu's eyelids twitched. Lightning Marten?
"That's not... Soul Beast?"
"Yes." Sun Chuantao's voice was very low, but Xie Yue still heard it.
His expression immediately changed as he, being a "sister-complex" guy, rushed forward to try and drive Feidian away from Hu Liena.
This really angered Grandpa Feidian.
You think I'll just leave because you tell me to?
It immediately changed its target, leaving Hu Liena and jumping onto Xie Yue instead.
The latter was shocked and was about to try to drive it away, but saw the Feidian turn into afterimages and begin to dart around Xie Yue's body.
Xie Yue grabbed his shoulder, then ran up to his back; grabbed his back, then ran to his front; grabbed him up, then down; grabbed him down, then climbed up.
Feidian was too fast; Xie Yue couldn't catch up at all. He frantically searched his body with both hands, but couldn't even grab a single fur.
This scene made the people around them burst into laughter. While the others managed to keep a straight face, Yan and Li Kai didn't even try to pretend; they just hugged their bellies and laughed heartily.
Xie Yue, who always kept a tight face and had a "I'm the coldest" expression, actually had such a lively side, which surprised everyone.
The more exasperated Xie Yue became, the more alive he seemed, and the louder the onlookers laughed. Led by Yan and Li Kai, the others finally couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing as well, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.
In the end, even his own sister Hu Liena, couldn't help but laugh.
Only a world where the Xie Yue is injured can achieve this.
Feidian was quite shrewd; it was just teasing Xie Yue and didn't really intend to do anything to him.
When Xie Yue was a little out of breath, it raised its head and arrogantly returned to Zhou You's shoulder, gracefully squatting down on its throne. Its small eyes looked down at Xie Yue with great majesty, as if it were looking at an ant.
This infuriated Xie Yue!
Zhou You lightly rubbed his Feidian bag, and looking at the laughing crowd, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Good.
