Chapter 94 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

Ten years ago, the Chu family was wiped out, and Chu Fan suffered misfortune. Nine years ago, at the age of eleven, Chu Fan encountered the seven-year-old Chu Xiaoxiao. At that time, Chu Xiaoxiao did not even have a name and was dressed in tattered clothes, walking alone on the street. Later, Chu Fan took Chu Xiaoxiao to join the sect, and since then embarked on an extraordinary life. However, it was evident that Chu Xiaoxiao was the one truly extraordinary. Initially, due to being underfed, Chu Xiaoxiao was frail and unsuitable for martial arts practice. Therefore, she rested in the sect while Chu Fan trained alone. Later, in her idle time, Chu Xiaoxiao casually flipped through the manuals Chu Fan brought home. After practicing for a while, her cultivation became unfathomable. By the age of eleven, she could conceal her cultivation and freely move around the sect in front of several old folks. By the time she turned twelve, she felt she could defeat those old folks. Only then did she agree to train with Chu Fan. Later, when they traveled the martial world together, she never encountered someone who could withstand her for more than three moves. Those sect masters, all had impressive reputations, but in reality, they were quite incompetent. Once, her brother Chu Fan was bullied by a prominent faction. While hiding in the mountains, she found it quite amusing. However, when she saw Chu Fan's shoes worn out from walking in the rugged terrain, she lost interest. So, one night, while Chu Fan was asleep, she snuck into the faction that liked to pursue people. With one strike, she broke the leg of the leader and, fearing retaliation, proceeded to break the legs of all the elders with a rank of eight or above in the faction. That solved the problem. Sure enough, the next day, when Chu Fan led her on the mountain path, no one chased them. Chu Xiaoxiao used this method several times. Whenever Chu Fan was being pursued, using this method made the pursuers immediately obedient, proving to be quite effective. If it weren't for Chu Fan disliking her killing, even not allowing her to harm a small rabbit, Chu Xiaoxiao wouldn't be bothered with breaking legs. After all, there are two legs, needing to break them twice, whereas there's only one neck, needing to break it only once. For her, breaking the neck was simpler. Since practicing martial arts, Chu Xiaoxiao rarely encountered unpleasant situations. Her opponents, regardless of age or gender, became extremely obedient upon seeing her in action. Except for a person named He Yunxiao. This person was quite peculiar, obedient yet disobedient. Very odd yet intriguing. Like now, he spoke deferentially, addressing her as "Lady Chu," but in reality, he pressed himself down completely, leaving no chance. When He Yunxiao first held her, Chu was a little anxious; she hadn't felt this kind of restraint in a long time. However, when he truly pressed her down, she wasn't as anxious. This guy could only do this much. Using despicable means, he could only end up at a stalemate with himself. Was he really daring to claim victory? ... He Yunxiao was initially complacent. After all, Chu Xiaoxiao was the most formidable martial artist in the world. Now, he had her pinned down, unable to move. However, soon He Yunxiao realized something was amiss. Chu was seemingly giving up resistance, lying still under his restraint without struggling. "Chu, aren't you admitting defeat?" "You're about to lose." "Right now, I have the upper hand." Chu scoffed, "Sure. How long can you hold it? In the end, I'll still win." Her words indeed struck a chord with He Yunxiao. He seemed to have the upper hand, but he needed to constantly guard against Chu's ability to break free, constantly depleting his energy and strength. It couldn't last long. Even the Soul Devouring Pill, providing him with a lot of strength, couldn't compensate for his mental exhaustion. But Chu was different. She was biding her time. As soon as He Yunxiao grew weary and relaxed his guard, she could promptly turn the tables. He Yunxiao's initially triumphant expression collapsed. "Chu, it's getting late, and we still have to return to study in the Fan residence's study room. Let's consider this a draw. We both have our reasons, and neither can persuade the other." Facing He Yunxiao's concession, Chu was unmoved. "You admit my victory, then kowtow and apologize, and I will forgive your despicable methods and disrespectful behavior." "I admit you won. You have 70% of the win, I have 30%. I acknowledge your victory. But kowtowing and apologizing are too much; it's not even the New Year yet, not necessary." He Yunxiao knew he was in Chu's grip. While he still had a chance to win, considering they were almost in physical contact, and Chu being a girl, naturally at a disadvantage, if He Yunxiao wanted to exploit it, he could make her suffer a lot. Then, he wouldn't worry about her demanding a "draw." However, in reality, He Yunxiao didn't dare use the same means he employed with Sister Jiang on Chu. With Sister Jiang, it was based on a high favorability level. But Chu Xiaoxiao's favorability was pitifully low. Using such tactics, aside from worrying about whether she and Chu Fan would leave him whole, just on a personal level, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Taking advantage of high favorability was enjoyable. Doing the same with low favorability was perverted. He Yunxiao wouldn't consider himself a pervert. He never did anything against a woman's will. Even if it was a different world, he would still abide by the rules. During their discussion, He Yunxiao realized he couldn't persist, thus softened his tone and took several steps back. But Chu was not one to take others' kindness. She detested such roundabout things. For her, winning was winning; losing was losing. People were either good or bad; promises were to be kept. If she liked something, she liked it a lot; if she disliked it, she disliked it a lot. Everything was clear and straightforward, fair and square. She had clearly won this game, so why would she only have won 70%? What kind of reasoning was that? "He Yunxiao, I have won this game. If you don't want to apologize, then I'll give you another way. Go and kill Fan Ziruo." When he heard her, He Yunxiao was puzzled. Why did she want to kill Fan Ziruo again? She'd been quite obedient these days and hadn't even flirted with Chu Fan. It took ages for him to earn a favorability of 73; was she asking him to kill her? "No, I can't!" "When I speak, you shouldn't argue. He Yunxiao, you're getting bolder." "Lady Chu, I have the upper hand now. I'll see how long you can hold out." Seeing Chu's disdainful expression, He Yunxiao felt uncomfortable. Although their relationship had improved significantly, when would she let go of her insolent attitude? If only there was a way to make her unable to persist. Then, he could negotiate with her. Hmm? Suddenly, He Yunxiao remembered being in an exam as a child. The urge to use the restroom as soon as he entered, enduring the dual torture of physical and mental suffering throughout the test. Now, in the world of martial arts, acupoints should be quite effective, right? Even the world's strongest should have acupoints, right? Should they?
