Why Is It You Again?

"Um, Yinglong, are you alright?" Xue Ting asked with some concern as they left the stage.

"Physically? I'm fine. Their attacks were useless against me, and I won't be poisoned," Xiao He replied calmly. "However, psychologically, I feel I've been fighting too much lately and my temper is too strong. Perhaps I should take some time to adjust."

"Yes, I think that's fine too." Xue Ting nodded.

"No, I think Yinglong super cool!" Zhang Yuxin said excitedly. "He's much cooler up close than on TV! It would be even better if I could help, but unfortunately my abilities aren't combat-oriented..."

They took the elevator back downstairs, and everyone immediately went to greet them.

Xiao He spotted the small figure in the crowd, then grabbed her, lifted her into the air, and spun her around. Ye Wanqing playfully slapped him and said, "There are so many people here, what are you doing? It's so embarrassing..."

"That was a good fight..." Cui Man said, wanting to pat Xiao He on the shoulder, but hesitated for a moment and instead patted his head. "How about resting for a few days? After this match, the next two rounds will be the second round of group matches. We currently have a perfect record of eleven wins in the arena matches and nine wins and two losses in the team matches. As long as we don't lose all our remaining matches, first place in the group is guaranteed."

"Plus, the group winner doesn't have to play in the semifinals, so we have about three weeks to rest," Xie Haining added.

"That's it." Cui Man gently patted his face, then looked back and sighed, "And we... have some other problems to deal with."

Xiao He followed her gaze and then noticed Yue Feng and Zhang Ming, who both looked dejected.

Leaving Yue Feng aside, that guy won't be discouraged, but Zhang Ming seems to be deeply affected.

"A crushing defeat, huh?" Xiao He sighed, arms crossed, then turned to Zhang Ming: "I told you, insufficient personal strength will render your Superpower completely useless in a 1v1 situation."

"It's not his fault, this was all my fault..." Li Zhengliang shook his head and sighed. "If I had transferred some of my power to him beforehand, he might have been able to stall for longer. It's just that I feel my cultivation method and his Superpower don't quite mesh..."

"This has nothing to do with you. You've done your best," Xiao He said, looking at Li Zhengliang. "Even if you gave him all your skills, he would only be able to take a beating in that octagonal cage. You know that very well, don't you?"

"This..." Li Zhengliang was speechless for a moment, then turned to Yue Feng: "But, I could have given Qiongqi some cultivation techniques..."

Yue Feng, standing to the side, said irritably, "I don't need any cultivation techniques!"

"Forget it, it's your business if you choose to confront me head-on, but at least win in front of me." Xiao He rolled his eyes at him.

Yue Feng hesitated for a moment, speechless. Cui Man, sitting beside him, crossed her legs and said, "The difference between you and the Four Cornerstones is that you've had less training time and fewer real-world missions. To put it bluntly, it's about experience and ability. This weakness was just magnified in the competition, so... for the next three weeks, you guys better train yourselves well."

At this moment, Zhang Ming stood up and clenched his fist at Xiao He. Xiao He thought he was about to get angry, but instead, he said, "Teach me martial arts! As long as I become a fighter, that's enough! I will definitely avenge myself!"

"You're not at the level where you need him to teach you yet," Cui Man said, pinching his ear with displeasure. "Start learning from the basics."

After seeing everyone off, only Cui Man and the Four Cornerstones of the Special Response Department remained. Cui Man finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Xiao He, saying, "Luckily, we stopped in time, otherwise it would be troublesome now. Foreign media and domestic conservatives would all put pressure on me, and the Special Response Department might even be disbanded."

"Thankfully Wanqing woke me up," Xiao He said, frowning as he looked at his hands. "But I'm still worried. I feel like I'm not myself anymore. Six months ago, I was just an ordinary college student, and today I almost killed someone..."

"You've been playing too many matches; it's no wonder your temper is getting worse," Xie Haining frowned, then turned to Cui Man, "Chief Cui, I don't think he should bear so much alone. Let us help him share the burden."

"That's right, Sister Man!" Xia Yu nodded repeatedly, clenching her little fist with confidence. "I'll take the points in the next round! I'm actually very good, no problem at all!"

"Okay, okay," Cui Man said with a loving smile, looking at the four of them. Then she patted Xiao He's head and said, "I'll give you three weeks off. Take some time to adjust your mindset. Go back to class and go on a date with your girlfriend."

Xiao He nodded, and Ye Wanqing happily hugged Xiao He arm. "Hehe, Old Xiao, that's great! Let's go to Willow Restaurant for dinner tomorrow and tell the owner and his wife about our engagement, okay? And the day after tomorrow..."

"Alright, let's go back and plan slowly." Xiao He patted her head and said, then turned to Xie Haining and Xia Yu: "Then, next week's Group A arena competition is in your hands. You don't have to win all of them, just advance."

"Don't worry," Xie Haining said softly with a smile, "Next week we'll let them know that besides Yinglong, the Dragon Country also has Candle Dragon."

"Separation is secondary, safety comes first," Xiao He instructed, then waved to the three and prepared to leave. But Ye Wanqing remembered something and added, "Back to my home in Beichang City."

"Not going to the island?" Xiao He asked curiously. Ye Wanqing shook her head. "I have to go to Willow Restaurant tomorrow, and I have class too."

Xiao He then used Dimensional Walker on Ye Wanqing, and the next moment they returned to their home in Beichang City.

After spending a few days on the island, returning here now, I suddenly feel a strong sense of belonging.

No matter how wonderful the island is, it's still just a vacation. Now, I'm finally home.

"Hehe, I definitely prefer it here." Ye Wanqing said happily, changing her shoes at the door. Tuantuan came over and stared at her fiercely until Ye Wanqing had done a security check on it, then it left satisfied.

Xiao He simply collapsed onto the sofa, letting out a satisfied sigh, and then waited.

But this time he didn't wait...

"What are you doing, Little Pufferfish? I'm still waiting to endure this humiliation!" Xiao He looked up and asked with displeasure.

"Coming, coming!" Ye Wanqing responded, then jumped onto Xiao He's back and laughed, "Going to get cat food for Tuantuan, huh?"

Xiao He adjusted his posture.

Xiao He didn't even have time to say another word before he fell asleep...

However, when Xiao He woke up the next morning, he found himself actually sleeping in bed.

"You're so heavy, you stinky pig..." Ye Wanqing poked his cheek and complained, then couldn't help but chuckle, "Sleeping so soundly."

"Sorry..." Xiao He muttered, then turned and hugged Ye Wanqing, "You didn't even take a bath?"

"I wiped it for you..." Ye Wanqing mumbled, nestled in his arms, then looked up at him and smiled, "Do you remember when we used to get up early to go for a run? Don't you miss it?"

"No, I prefer it this way. I can see my lovely girlfriend as soon as I wake up in the morning." Xiao He's hand repeatedly rubbed Ye Wanqing's bottom. Ye Wanqing punched him lightly. "Stop fooling around, get up, we have a lot to do today."

While Ye Wanqing was brushing her teeth, Xiao He went over and peed. This reminded him of the time when Ye Wanqing stayed in the bathroom alone for half an hour while he held it in outside for half an hour, and he burst out laughing.

"Idiot." Ye Wanqing clearly knew what he was laughing at, and glared at him in the mirror. Then Xiao He came to Ye Wanqing's side and joined her, brushing his teeth while looking at his lovely girlfriend in the mirror.

After brushing her teeth and spitting out the foam, Ye Wanqing pouted, and Xiao He leaned over and kissed her: the smell was strong, like toothpaste.

"Hehe, I'll go make breakfast," Ye Wanqing said happily. Xiao He nodded, "I'll go tidy up the room."

Two people who couldn't get along at all before suddenly became incredibly compatible after they started dating.

"This is amazing..." Xiao He thought to himself as he folded the blankets, and quickly tidied up the room.

After tidying up the room, Xiao He took a shower before dinner. When he came out, he deliberately and cautiously went to the kitchen to peek at what Ye Wanqing was doing.

Right now, the girl was stirring the porridge in the pot while cheerfully humming an opening theme from Gintama, looking like she was in a great mood. "Hey, hey, some-like-hot..."

After humming for a while, she suddenly realized that the homophone of the lyric sounded a bit off, so she tilted her head and muttered to herself, "Hey, hey, he doesn't wear a condom?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Wanqing shrugged. "Never mind, Old Xiao doesn't wear them anyway."

"Pfft..." Xiao He burst out laughing.

Ye Wanqing jumped in fright and said irritably, "What are you doing? Sneaking around in your own home..."

"It's nothing, just look at my lovely girlfriend," Xiao He said with a smile, admiring Ye Wanqing from above.

It's April now, and the temperature is a pleasant 20 degrees Celsius. Ye Wanqing is simply wearing a vest, a shirt over it, and capri pants at home. She looks petite and slender, but unfortunately...

"Such beautiful legs, why don't you use them to seduce your boyfriend?" Xiao He said with some regret.

"It's still quite chilly," Ye Wanqing muttered. "I'll change into shorts when it gets a little warmer."

After saying that, Ye Wanqing started serving the porridge. "Eat less this morning, okay? We'll go to Willow Restaurant for lunch."

Nevertheless, breakfast still consisted of a bowl of porridge, a fried egg, and a small dish of side dishes.

Xiao He sipped his porridge, feeling the warmth of Ye Wanqing's love, he thought, "Indeed... living with my Xiaoqing is so blissful."

"Hmph, good that you know." Ye Wanqing lightly stepped on him under the table.

The two of them did a thorough cleaning of the house together in the morning, and it was almost 11 o'clock when they took a car to Willow Restaurant to reserve a spot.

"Boss, boss's wife!" Ye Wanqing rushed in happily to greet them, and said with a smile, "Old Xiao and I are engaged!"

"Wow! Congratulations!" The proprietress clapped her hands and laughed, then grabbed Ye Wanqing's left hand and looked at it. "Wow, this amethyst is so beautiful! The structure... it's so unique, it doesn't feel like crystal at all."

"You like it?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile, stroking his wife's braid. Then he turned to Xiao He and asked, "Where did you buy it? I'll buy one for my wife too."

"Uh, this... it's... it was custom-made." Xiao He stammered. "It's... it's not some very valuable gemstone, I think it's made of polished glass, I'm not really sure..."

How can you say something like "dug back from Mars"?

"Oh dear, don't make a fool of yourself. Of course, people want their engagement rings to be unique!" The proprietress scolded, pinching the owner's ear, then turned to the two of them, "Congratulations! What would you like to eat today?"

Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief, ordered the food with Ye Wanqing, and then started chatting with the proprietress.

"Actually, I'm a little worried that it might be too early..." Ye Wanqing said, but her face was full of secret joy. "After all, I'm only nineteen."

"It's not early at all. My husband and I got engaged before graduating from university, and then we got married right after graduation," the proprietress said with a smile. "What's wrong with 'too early' when one person loves another?"

Just then, I heard the sound of a door being pushed open behind me, followed by a somewhat familiar voice asking in English, "This is the one- Michelin restaurant in the tourist brochure? It's so small!"

Xiao He glanced back and immediately frowned: It was actually Yousuli!

"It's you again..." Xiao He rolled his eyes in disdain: Isn't this guy participating in the competition today?

Today is the second day of the inter-group team competition, which should be the day when M Country plays against other countries. Yousuli, as a key member of M Country, is actually not participating and is just wandering around...

"You better behave yourself, or I'll break your legs..." Xiao He thought to himself, clenching his fists involuntarily.

But just as he was thinking this, Yousuli noticed the shop owner's wife.

"Wow! What a beautiful proprietress!" Yousuli couldn't help but exclaim, then walked towards the counter.

At that moment, the shop owner suddenly came out and turned off the shop's security cameras.

Then, Yousuli stepped forward and pushed Ye Wanqing and Xiao He aside, who were blocking his way from the proprietress. He then extended his hand to the proprietress and said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, are you free? How about a quickie tonight?"

"Get out! You idiot..." The landlady dodged Yousuli's hand in disgust, then grabbed Xiao He's water glass from the table and splashed water on Yousuli's face, saying irritably, "We don't serve customers like you, get the hell out of here!"

"Wow..." Xiao He couldn't help but think to himself, never expecting that the usually sweet proprietress would be so shrewish.

"Why are all the women in Dragon Country so shameless?" Yousuli gritted her teeth, then suddenly leaped over the bar and pounced on the proprietress behind her. "I'm taking you for myself today!"

But just as he tried to step over the bar, Xiao He tugged at his leg.

Yousuli slid backward, his face heading towards the bar, but he managed to brace himself with his hand and avoid hitting it. At that moment, Xiao He stepped forward, his right hand looping around Yousuli's neck and locking his head, while his left hand delivered a powerful punch to Yousuli's temple. Yousuli's body jolted violently, and he frantically tore at Xiao He's right hand, trying to break free.

Then Xiao He swung his right hand, twisted his waist, and threw Yousuli away. Before You Suli could land, Xiao He rushed over, pushed Yousuli's face with his left hand, and slammed his head against the ground.

Yousuli's head smashed a hole in the wooden floor, Yousuli groaned and rolled his eyes.

For Xiao He, Yousuli was actually quite easy to deal with. Before initiating the Forced Debt, this guy's strength was average. If it weren't for figuring out Yousuli's Superpower, Xiao He could have easily killed him.

"This child..." The landlady looked at Xiao He in astonishment, while the boss simply crossed his arms and smiled, "So you're Mutant?"

"No, well, actually..." Xiao He stammered, thinking about how to explain.

But the owner just smiled and said, "It's alright, you're safe here. I don't know you, and I don't know what happened today." He then pointed to the store's security camera, "We opened too early today, and we forgot to turn on the cameras."

Thinking of this, Xiao He suddenly realized: The boss seemed to have some kind of premonition, turning off the surveillance cameras beforehand... Could it be...?

"Um..." Ye Wanqing said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I broke the shop floor."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I should be thanking you," the proprietress said with a smile.

Xiao He and Ye Wanqing originally planned to leave quickly to avoid attracting attention, but the Special Response Department's efficiency far exceeded their expectations. After the boss and his wife reported the incident, someone quickly came to inquire about the situation.

The owner and his wife only said that a Mutant "saw injustice" defeated Yousuli, but they didn't know who it was or where it went, and there was no surveillance footage.

The Special Response Department made a record of the situation and then took Yousuli away.

The people responsible for escorting Yousuli were actually the Oliver brothers. Clearly, after reaching an agreement with Xiao He, they had now become lackeys of the Special Response Department, hoping for an early release and a normal life.

"That's good," Xiao He thought to himself, watching the two men escort the unconscious Yousuli away.

"What the hell are you looking at?!" Ivan rolled his eyes at Xiao He, who was staring at him, and asked in an annoyed tone, clearly not recognizing Xiao He as "Yinglong".

After all, her hairstyle, clothing, and overall demeanor have all changed.

"It's nothing, keep it up!" Xiao He raised his fist and laughed at Ivan and Oliver.

"Tsk... you brat. Just eat your food." Ivan muttered irritably. Oliver whispered beside him, "You know what, the people of Dragon Country are quite hospitable. I like them..."

"It's alright..." Ivan muttered, a little unconvinced, "Anyway, it's much better than our lousy place."
