Chapter 93 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

The Fan Mansion is not very big; a round trip can be completed quickly. Chu Chu didn't wait long before Fan Ziruo and He Yunxiao returned. Fan Ziruo's hands were empty, while He Yunxiao was holding a simple folding fan. Thinking of Fan Ziruo's earlier comment about "not being able to carry it," Chu Chu immediately understood. Even if Fan Ziruo was weak, she wouldn't have trouble carrying a fan. These two had used "carrying learning materials" as an excuse to sneak out and play. Here she was sitting foolishly while they went out to have fun. Hmm. Fan Ziruo, this wicked woman, was one thing. But He Yunxiao, actually leaving her on the sideline, was quite audacious. Chu Chu: was it fun? Chu Chu's inexplicable query left He Yunxiao completely puzzled. He Yunxiao: Huh? What's fun? Chu Chu: Can't understand, or don't want to say. He Yunxiao: What are you talking about, Chu Chu? Chu Chu: You don't understand? He Yunxiao was getting anxious. He Yunxiao: I really don't understand. Could you please explain it more clearly, so I can understand? Chu Chu: Don't get too close to Fan Ziruo. He Yunxiao: No, if I can't get too close. How else can I help you drive away the bad woman by your brother's side? Chu Chu: Whatever you do, it has nothing to do with me. He Yunxiao was feeling flustered. This Chu Chu caused trouble whenever she couldn't be useful! He Yunxiao: Chu Chu, be reasonable. Chu Chu: Come out. After conveying her message, Chu Chu stood up from her seat, ignoring Fan Ziruo's gaze, and went straight out. He Yunxiao hurried to catch up. If it were Xiao Xiao going out, He Yunxiao would have been more at ease, but this was Chu Chu, who was capable of anything. "Ziruo, I'm going out with Miss Chu for a moment." Fan Ziruo watched He Yunxiao chase after Chu Chu's departing figure and thought of how Chu Fan seemed to be intentionally trying to match them up. She also remembered the secret between them that couldn't be shared with her. So, she felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart. She used to quite like Chu Xiaoxiao, this lovely little sister, but now she couldn't like her at all. ... Chu Chu walked ahead, and He Yunxiao caught up, walking beside her. "Chu Chu, where are you going?" "To a place where no one is." "A place with no one? How about the garden in the academy?" "There are people there." "Who's there?" "Don't know, not weak in cultivation." He Yunxiao chatted with Chu Chu, step by step. Chu Chu was already a lot better than when they first met. At least she would respond a bit when talked to, and it seemed like she had also given up her bad habit of hitting people. The two strolled around the Fan Mansion, and as they walked, He Yunxiao realized they seemed to have arrived at the place where he previously made his Itchy Sister "unable to breathe". This place was also densely vegetated and rarely visited. Chu Chu stopped there. She even chose a rather spacious green grassland. "Here will do." He Yunxiao looked puzzled. "What are we doing here?" "As you said, reasoning." He Yunxiao finally understood and broke out in a sweat! Even if he didn't understand, he instantly grasped the consequences of making Chu Chu unhappy. The consequence was facing the uncontested, reasonable, "Itchy Sister"! Who could overcome that? He Yunxiao immediately caved. "I won't continue. I won't continue. My bad." "What did you do wrong?" Damn! What kind of soul-searching was this again! "I... I was wrong..." Chu Chu lost her patience. "I'll give you ten moves." He Yunxiao grasped at the last straw for help. "Ten moves!" "Fine." "But you can't use your feet." "Fine." "And can only use one hand." "Okay." The more he spoke, the more excited he became. At this rate, it seemed he could indeed reason with her. "But you can't use inner strength." Chu Chu frowned slightly at this proposal, making her hesitate. He Yunxiao knew Chu Chu best. This little girl, who was known as the best in the world at such a young age, might be highly skilled, but she was obsessed with her reputation in the martial arts world. Otherwise, she wouldn't keep mentioning "self" and enforcing everything she said. Seizing the opportunity, he goaded, "Miss Chu Chu would not need to rely on inner strength to defeat a petty eighth-ranked warrior like me, right?" Chu Chu answered indifferently, "Naturally not. For you, one hand is enough." "Alright! I, He Yunxiao, will reason with Miss Chu Chu today." He Yunxiao was extraordinarily thrilled. Today, he might actually overcome the so-called best in the world! Even if she was the best in the world, she could only use one hand against my peak eighth-ranked strength. The advantage is mine! Although He Yunxiao had the upper hand, he didn't dare to be careless because Chu Chu was officially recognized as the best in the world; she wasn't just all talk. The two stood silently on the grassy field. He Yunxiao was fully focused, while Chu Chu put her left hand behind her and let her right hand hang casually at her side, seemingly unprepared. Two breaths later, He Yunxiao suddenly surged forward. He took two steps and reached Chu Chu's side, closed his right fist, and punched toward the left side of Chu Chu's body, where she couldn't use the left hand. His fist, enveloped in inner strength, cleared through the air like a battleship cutting through waves, ready to strike. The punch was drawing near Chu Chu's left shoulder; it seemed like an inevitable hit. At this moment, He Yunxiao was even contemplating whether he should lessen the force to avoid injuring Chu Chu, who had no inner strength to protect herself and would be seriously hurt from just one blow. However, just as his fist was about to land on Chu Chu, she made a slight sidestep at a speed almost equal to the punch's speed. He Yunxiao watched as the punch missed Chu Chu by a whisker, and he could never catch up. This perfect dodge revealed Chu Chu's nearly impeccable observation and judgment in her actions and meticulous control of her body. He Yunxiao was shaken to the core. Was this what it meant to be the best in the world? Thank goodness he didn't challenge her directly earlier. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the slightest clue how he would have lost. At least nine more chances! He Yunxiao recomposed himself, quickly throwing another punch! What was terrifying was that no matter how hard and fast and precise He Yunxiao's strikes were, it seemed that every time the punch was about to reach Chu Chu, it always ended up just missing her by a hair's breadth! It was the near-misses every time that were the most despairing! Only seven chances left! Only three chances! Only the last chance! Chu Chu had allowed ten moves, and He Yunxiao had used nine! In other words, if he missed again this time, he would have to face Chu Chu's attack. She was already insane in her dodges. If she took the initiative to attack, she would beat him up like she did back when they first met. Calm down, cool down. Only wits and strategies! What could make her unable to dodge? It seemed there really was a way... He Yunxiao walked up to Chu Chu with a dark expression. "One last time," he said. Chu Chu coldly snorted, her gaze full of disdain. He Yunxiao didn't waste any words, throwing a punch. As expected, Chu Chu sidestepped it once again. "It's over," Chu Chu said. "Indeed, it is over," He Yunxiao smiled. He Yunxiao didn't retract the right fist that was dodged by Chu Chu but directly changed his move, snatching Chu Chu's restrained right hand with his left hand! Then, he moved closer, using both hands to tightly embrace Chu Chu's body. "Dirty tricks!" "Winning against the best in the world is not bad at all." Chu Chu struggled to break free, but she was just a sixteen-year-old girl. Even though she had precise control of her body, it couldn't compensate for her absolute physical weakness. Besides, she couldn't use inner strength, so she had no way to break free with force alone. With her abilities, she could still win with skill. But now, she couldn't use both legs and her left hand, and using only her right hand wasn't enough to display any skill. In this situation, Chu Chu almost instantly thought about using her right hand to strike He Yunxiao's pressure points to momentarily distract him and then... She didn't expect that He Yunxiao wouldn't even give her the chance. Just after being embraced, it was as if the next second, He Yunxiao's left hand firmly clasped her right hand. And that wasn't enough. Chu Chu felt herself being lifted off the ground, unable to draw strength, then everything spun, and when it stopped, she was lying on the ground. He Yunxiao pressed her down with his entire body. She couldn't budge, especially with only her available right hand pressed tightly to the ground, rendering her motionless. In this moment, He Yunxiao had indeed taken full control of the situation, as it was he who had been bullied by Chu Chu for so long but had finally turned the tables! He looked down on her condescendingly and said, "Miss Chu Chu, you've lost."
