"Winners and losers must accept the outcome!"

"From now on, whenever anyone from Blazing Fire Academy sees someone from Heaven Dou Academy, they'll bow at the waist!"

Huo Wu stared at Qin Qi, her eyes filled with unwillingness. She clenched her fists tightly, only to let them fall helplessly.

A bet was a bet. This time, they had truly lost. The other side had defeated them fair and square in a team battle.

"If we run into each other again with only one piece of clothing left, who should that clothing belong to?"

Dugu Yan bent down close to Huo Wu and asked with a smug smile.

"You!"

Huo Wu bit her lip. She felt like crying now. In all her life, she had never felt such humiliation.

"What do you mean, 'you'? You sound pretty unconvinced."

Dugu Yan reached out and pinched Huo Wu's cheek. "Don't forget, you lost this time."

"I understand. I admit defeat. It belongs to you. From now on, you have the final say on this street!"

Tears finally spilled from Huo Wu's eyes. Her father was the dean of Blazing Fire Academy. Since childhood, she had been a little princess—and a genius, too.

The students had always treated her politely, while even the teachers had to indulge her.

She had never been bullied like this before!

"Hmph, that's more like it, little sister Huo Wu. Come on, call me Sister Yan."

Seeing Huo Wu's unwilling, humiliated expression, Dugu Yan suddenly felt incredibly satisfied.

She wanted more—she wanted to bully this girl even more.

"Yan Yan, forget it. We've already bullied her into tears. Going any further would be a little too much."

"Lingling, help treat these people."

Qin Qi smiled as he pulled Huo Wu to her feet, then turned to Ye Lingling.

"Mm."

Ye Lingling nodded. Petals from the Nine Heart Begonia began to dance through the air, settling upon the members of Blazing Fire Academy.

Their injuries recovered at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, they were completely healed.

"The Nine Heart Begonia, the strongest healing martial soul—what an incredible ability!"

"Such serious injuries healed so quickly. That's amazing!"

"With Ye Lingling around, Qin Qi and the others are practically unbeatable."

The watching students whispered among themselves. They had always thought Qin Qi and his group were merely a bunch of strange troublemaking students.

But now, their views had changed. Qin Qi and the others were a bunch of strange troublemaking students with terrifying strength.

"Hmph, don't think this means everything is settled. Sooner or later, I'll get my revenge."

Huo Wu looked at Qin Qi, a trace of gratitude in her eyes. She felt that Qin Qi was not quite as bad as she had thought.

But she still could not stop herself from speaking arrogantly.

"Mm..."

Qin Qi turned to look at Huo Wu. "You really don't know what's good for you. I gave you people a way out, and you turned around and bit me."

"Fine. Yan Yan, strip her. Let her know the consequences of offending me."

Qin Qi felt that Huo Wu was truly stubborn. He had given her a way out, yet she refused to take it. Fine—someone this stubborn needed a harsh lesson!

"OK!"

Dugu Yan gave Qin Qi an approving gesture. This was the Qin Qi she knew.

Despicable, shameless, and petty—but surprisingly capable.

"Wait, don't come over! You—you stay away! Don't touch my clothes, sob sob sob..."

"I was wrong, I really was! I won't be stubborn anymore!"

"I actually did want to thank you just now, but I was too embarrassed to say it!"

"Please, I'm really sorry! Let me go!"

Huo Wu clutched her clothes tightly. This time, she was truly panicking. If she were stripped naked, she would have no face left to live!

"My sister is a girl. Please let her go!"

"Let me, her older brother, make amends for all her offenses!"

Huo Wushuang stepped before Qin Qi, bowed at a ninety-degree angle, and pleaded in an extremely sincere tone.

"Are you really willing to make amends in her place?"

Qin Qi looked at Huo Wushuang and asked with a smile.

"Mm. No matter what it is, I'm willing!"

Huo Wushuang answered with a resolute gaze.

"Fine. Take off your clothes, then walk back naked."

"If you take yours off, your sister won't have to."

Qin Qi said.

"I..."

Huo Wushuang instinctively took two steps back in fear after hearing that, glancing at the onlookers around him.

He was torn beyond measure. If he stripped now, his life would be over.

But if he refused, his sister would be finished.

Between his own future and his sister, Huo Wushuang chose his sister.

"Xiao Wu, your brother will definitely protect you!"

Huo Wushuang turned back and gave Huo Wu a complicated look before directly pulling off his shirt.

"Brother!"

Watching this scene, Huo Wu's eyes filled with emotion. She was deeply moved to have such a good brother.

"Boss, don't worry. We won't let you be the only one humiliating yourself!"

"We'll do it with you!"

The others from Blazing Fire Academy also took off their clothes, revealing their lean, powerful muscles.

After taking off their shirts, they removed their pants and prepared to take off their underwear.

"Wait. You're a real man. That's enough—no need to take off your underwear. Consider it my praise for your backbone."

Qin Qi fought back the urge to laugh, looking solemnly at Huo Wushuang as he spoke.

"To protect your sister, you were willing to throw away your own dignity. You're a true man!"

"Although I don't have a sister, I have a younger brother. I can understand that kind of family bond."

The Shi brothers stepped forward and spoke with admiration.

"Qin Qi, the Shi brothers..."

Huo Wushuang looked at them, somewhat moved. Though they were enemies, though they were the culprits behind his humiliation—

They recognized his backbone and understood his thoughts. They truly were good opponents!

"If we get the chance, let's have another fight. Not to decide victory or defeat, but just to have a good, exhilarating battle."

Huo Wushuang looked at the others. They too were moved by Qin Qi and the others' acknowledgment, and he spoke.

"Sure. If there's a chance."

"For now, you should go back and recover first."

Qin Qi tried hard to keep a straight face, but he was about to lose it.

"Alright."

Huo Wushuang and the others picked up their clothes, put them back on, and left as quickly as they could.

Once they were gone, Qin Qi could no longer hold it in.

"Hahahaha! No, I didn't want to laugh, but that was just too funny."

"That guy really has guts. He actually took them off!"

Qin Qi burst into laughter, laughing so hard that his stomach began to ache.

"People from Blazing Fire Academy really are a bunch of hot-blooded idiots."

Dugu Yan covered her mouth and chuckled. This time, they had truly vented their frustration.

"Mmm..."

Ye Lingling wanted to see what had happened too, but her eyes had been covered.

The reason was that children weren't allowed to watch.

"..."

The Shi brothers exchanged a glance, then hurriedly joined in the laughter. What they had said earlier was sincere.

They truly admired Huo Wushuang's backbone, but seeing Qin Qi and the others now—

The Shi brothers felt that if they didn't laugh along, they would become idiots too.

"As expected, these guys are rotten to the core!"

"I really thought they admired Blazing Fire Academy's backbone. Turns out they were still just messing with them."

"Even though I'm a noble and a bad person myself, compared to them, I'm still far too kind."

The surrounding spectators quickly dispersed, spreading what they had witnessed everywhere.
