Lying on the bed, Huo Wu rolled her eyes.
"You talked yourself up so much before we started."
A mocking smile tugged at her lips.
"But afterward, you were only so-so."
Yu Xiaolong's vision went black.
The fight was over in five minutes.
The little girl was looking down on him.
But he was middle-aged, and his kidneys were failing him.
What could he do?
Huo Wu got up, her purple outfit tracing her full curves.
Her chest stood proud, trembling slightly with each movement.
She glanced back at him.
"Old man, still lying there?"
Her tone was full of disdain.
Yu Xiaolong took a deep breath.
Forget it. He wouldn't argue with a little girl.
He got up and got dressed, hiding his frustration.
"I'll take you out of the city for a stroll."
Huo Wu snorted but didn't refuse.
Longxing City's streets were bustling with activity.
Huo Wu walked ahead, her legs long and straight.
Her bottom was pert and rounded beneath her fitted outfit.
Passersby kept turning to look.
She paid them no mind.
Yu Xiaolong followed behind her.
His gaze fell on her slender waist.
Youth really was wonderful.
He sighed inwardly.
Suddenly, a sharp reprimand rang out ahead.
A girl in purple stood in the middle of the street.
Her twin ponytails swayed gently in the breeze.
A middle-aged man knelt before her.
His forehead pressed against the ground as he trembled in fear.
"Did I say you could leave?"
The girl's voice was clear and bright.
Yet it carried an air of lofty arrogance.
"Who can blame me? I am Longxing City's Number One Genius Girl, after all."
Huo Wu stopped in her tracks.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed.
"Picking on ordinary people, that's all."
Her voice was full of disdain.
"Throwing your weight around."
She looked at Yu Xiaolong.
"I'll step in and beat her easily."
She started to move forward.
Yu Xiaolong put a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't be impulsive."
Huo Wu was far too hot-tempered.
She always went straight to fighting.
But he recognized this girl.
Bai Chenxiang of the Speed Clan.
Huo Wu frowned.
"You're stopping me?"
She was unconvinced.
"She's just a little bully who picks on the weak."
"I can take her down in three moves."
Yu Xiaolong shook his head.
"She's from the White Family Fortress."
Huo Wu froze.
"The White Family Fortress?"
Yu Xiaolong nodded.
Then he strode forward.
"Bai Chenxiang!"
He called out in a clear voice.
It wasn't loud, but it carried far.
The girl in purple spun around.
Her twin ponytails swept through a graceful arc.
Their eyes met.
Bai Chenxiang looked him up and down.
Her purple outfit wrapped around her youthful figure.
Her chest had begun to swell, though she still looked young.
But she stood tall and was full of energy.
A trace of impatience flashed in her eyes.
"What? Who are you?"
Her tone was sharp.
"I don't know you."
Yu Xiaolong watched her with a beaming smile.
"I don't accept it."
Bai Chenxiang froze.
"What?"
"I don't acknowledge you as Longxing City's Number One Genius."
Yu Xiaolong spoke unhurriedly.
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone nearby heard him.
The onlookers gathered around.
Bai Chenxiang's face darkened.
She hated people telling her what to do.
She hated people questioning her even more.
"What are you supposed to be?"
A scornful sneer curled her lips.
"I am Longxing City's genius."
"That's a fact."
"I don't need you to acknowledge it."
She raised her chin, full of pride.
Huo Wu curled her lip at the side.
"Quite the big mouth."
She muttered under her breath.
"She's nothing but a little girl."
Yu Xiaolong remained unmoved.
"You keep calling yourself a genius."
"You should have to prove it, shouldn't you?"
He smiled pleasantly.
"Otherwise, who would believe you?"
Bai Chenxiang stared at him.
What was this weird uncle up to?
He looked perfectly ordinary.
His Soul Power didn't seem very strong, either.
He probably wasn't much of a fighter.
"How do you want me to prove it?"
She asked coldly.
Yu Xiaolong spread his hands.
"Simple."
"If you defeat me,"
"or choose something you're good at"
"and beat me,"
"then I'll acknowledge you as a genius."
Bai Chenxiang froze.
Then she laughed.
Her laugh was full of scorn.
This weird uncle was asking to be humiliated.
She looked Yu Xiaolong up and down.
He wore an ordinary long robe.
He looked like any middle-aged man.
The Soul Power around him was unremarkable.
Did a man like that really think he was worthy of challenging her?
She was the pride of the Speed Clan.
"Fine."
She agreed readily.
"I choose speed."
"Are you brave enough to compete?"
Yu Xiaolong raised an eyebrow.
"Speed?"
Bai Chenxiang said proudly, "Scared?"
"My speed"
"is unmatched in Longxing City."
Huo Wu couldn't help laughing.
Competing with Yu Xiaolong in speed?
This girl didn't know how high the sky was.
The Speed Clan might be good at speed.
But who was Yu Xiaolong?
Yu Xiaolong nodded.
"Sure."
"But there's a condition."
Bai Chenxiang frowned. "What condition?"
"If you lose,"
Yu Xiaolong said, each word clear and deliberate,
"you'll take me as your master."
"How about it?"
Bai Chenxiang's eyes widened.
Take him as her master?
Was this uncle crazy?
She was the eldest daughter of the White Family Fortress.
The granddaughter of the Speed Clan's patriarch.
"Do you think you're worthy?"
The words slipped out before she could stop them.
Yu Xiaolong's smile didn't change.
"Do you dare to make a bet?"
A taunt.
And Bai Chenxiang fell for it.
"Fine, let's bet!"
She raised her voice.
"There's no way this young lady could lose."
The girl's pride was written all over her face.
Her chest rose and fell, her breathing quick and shallow.
She was clearly furious.
"Go on, how are we competing?"
At that moment, in the crowd,
several people from the White Family Fortress recognized their eldest daughter.
They exchanged glances,
then quietly slipped out of the crowd
and ran toward the White Family Fortress.
At the White Family Fortress,
Bai He was sitting in the main hall, drinking tea.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.
A clansman rushed in.
"Patriarch, the young miss..."
Bai He frowned.
"That girl has gotten into trouble again?"
The clansman shook his head.
"Someone challenged the young miss."
"He said that if she loses, she has to take him as her master."
Bai He set down his teacup.
"Oh?"
The clansman recounted what had happened.
After listening, Bai He didn't get up.
He was silent for a moment.
"There's no need to get involved."
He continued drinking his tea.
"Someone teaching that girl a lesson"
"might not be a bad thing."
That was what he said.
But in his heart, he wondered:
Who in Longxing City could handle his granddaughter?
On the battle platform in Longxing City, the wind howled.
Yu Xiaolong stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the purple-clad figure opposite him. "Bai Chenxiang, I hear you claim to be the fastest person in Longxing City?"
Bai Chenxiang planted her hands on her hips and lifted her chin high.
"Claim? This young lady really is!"
Her purple twin ponytails flicked in the wind, and her face was full of arrogance.
"Who in Longxing City doesn't know that the Speed Clan is unmatched in speed? You want to race me? You must have water in your brain!"
She wore a tight purple outfit that traced every curve of her lithe figure.
Her full, pert breasts weren't enormous, but their lovely shape more than made up for it. Like two ripe papayas, they rose and fell slightly with her proud stance.
Her waist was so slender it seemed one arm could encircle it.
Beneath her short purple skirt, a pair of long legs stretched straight and slender, her skin fair as cream. Her calves were shapely and smooth, her ankles delicate and slim.
When she turned sideways, her shapely, rounded bottom pushed the hem of her skirt into a smooth curve.
Yu Xiaolong remained expressionless, though inwardly he gave a quiet laugh.
The girl certainly had a pretty face and figure.
Too bad she was far too conceited.
"Enough talk. There'll be two rounds."
Yu Xiaolong held up one finger. "For the first round, you win if you're the first to appear ten li outside the city."
Bai Chenxiang's eyes widened as if she'd just heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Race me? Then you've already lost, hmph!"
Before you continue
