Chapter 97 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

When Chu Chu agreed, He Yunxiao knew that the matter was settled, and the great deed was accomplished. As employing the strategy of sacrificing one thousand enemies to lose eight hundred, He Yunxiao could hardly bear it himself. He didn't want to torture himself and Chu Chu any longer, so he quickly let her go, rolling away from her and putting on a look of joy rather than defeat. He said, "Lady Chu Chu, I concede." He said that as he sat on the grass, feeling a bit too afraid to stand up. At this moment, He Yunxiao finally saw another side of the world's number one. Chu Chu, who had previously not even needed to use her inner strength to defeat him, was now using her inner strength mercilessly and without reservation. Her control over inner strength surpassed even her physical prowess. The formidable inner strength was used like a booster rocket, propelling her from lying on the ground to standing upright by sheer force. What was even more terrifying was that He Yunxiao was standing right in front of Chu Chu but felt no sense of her using inner strength. Normally, once inner strength was used, it would diffuse outward. Many martial artists relied on this to gauge others' cultivation and determine their location. Chu Chu had previously mentioned that there were experts in the garden, probably because she had sensed the diffusion of inner strength from the expert in the garden of Lu Jiao Academy. Chu Chu herself completely shattered this traditional impression, not only with her powerful inner strength but also by pushing the control and utilization of inner strength to the extreme. He Yunxiao was dumbfounded. Is this what being the world's number one means? She was just being teased by me a moment ago… If she were to use even a tiny bit of inner strength, I probably wouldn't have any chance at all… The flush on Chu Chu's face slowly faded with the return of her inner strength. The familiar female devil reappeared before He Yunxiao. She glared down at He Yunxiao with an icy expression, her arms naturally hanging down, standing on the grass with a complex yet speechless gaze. She turned around and walked away. Then her legs weakened, and she almost fell. He Yunxiao: ... So it was just an act. I thought she didn't need to use her inner strength anymore... After being intimidated by Chu Chu's dominant demeanor just now, He Yunxiao had now regained enough composure to stand up. At this point, he saw Chu Chu's legs weaken and immediately got up from the grass, running over to support her. Then he said considerately, "Lady Chu Chu, the restroom is to the west of the Fan Mansion." "Shut up." Chu Chu shook off He Yunxiao's hand and slowly walked step by step by herself. After taking a few steps, she turned back, looking at He Yunxiao with a forced calm but unable to hide her blushing cheeks and embarrassed tone. "Dare to use such despicable means again, and I will spare no mercy on you next time!" Since getting to know the adorable Chu Chu, He Yunxiao wasn't afraid of her threats at all. He understood that Chu Chu was like a fierce little kitten—fierce indeed, but genuinely cute. He Yunxiao walked easily to Chu Chu's side and walked alongside her. "Chu Chu, slow down." "Shut up." "Chu Chu, when will you be able to get there like this?" "My actions are none of your concern." He Yunxiao watched Chu Chu's slow gait and wondered if he had been too harsh. He decided to take a couple of quick steps, and then he squatted in front of her, leaving his back to her. "I'll give you a piggyback." Chu Chu stood in place, without moving. "Come here," He Yunxiao urged, "You know about my lightness skills, stable and fast." "Your actions should be considered as your compensation." He Yunxiao knew she valued these prestigious titles, so he casually agreed, "Sure, this is my compensation to you, Chu Chu." Chu Chu corrected, "'Lady Chu Chu.'" He Yunxiao complied with her. "Alright, come on." Chu Chu moved closer to He Yunxiao and then took position behind him, slowly bending her knees and lying on He Yunxiao's back. Sensing Chu Chu getting closer, He Yunxiao then gently put his arms around her legs, saying, "Hold onto my neck." He first felt Chu Chu's "promising future," then a pair of slender arms reached out from his shoulders, embracing his neck. "Like this?" "Mhm." At that moment, He Yunxiao's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He had only been in this world for a few days. Now, he had made friends with his former enemy. Their relationship had evolved from "I will seek revenge" to now, where he could entrust his most vulnerable neck to her confidently. With the little girl on his back, He Yunxiao slowly stood up. "Chu Chu." "Mhm." "I'm leaving." "Okay." After standing up, He Yunxiao swiftly used his lightness skills to leap out. His intention was to get to the restroom quickly, but he didn't expect that this would make Chu Chu tense all over. She held his neck tightly, pressing her body against his back. Her legs, which had been relaxed, now involuntarily squeezed around his waist. "Slow down." He Yunxiao slowed down, aiming for stability rather than speed. "Is this speed okay now?" "Mhm." "Then hold on tight." "Mhm." He Yunxiao felt that his conversation with Chu Chu was a bit strange. It seemed like it could be used in different scenarios. As Chu Chu was accommodating, He Yunxiao once again probed her attitude towards Du Yinyun. "Chu Chu, do you want to kill Du Yinyun?" "She doesn't like Chu Fan. I won't kill her." "Fan Ziruo also doesn't like Dufan." "She likes him." "What if she stopped liking him?" "Then I won't kill her." "Is there a possibility she likes Chu Fan but doesn't need to be killed?" "Ask Xiaoxiao." He Yunxiao felt like he had stumbled upon a secret but couldn't quite comprehend it. Why did he have to ask Xiaoxiao to know how not to kill Fan Ziruo? Could Xiaoxiao be Chu Chu's sister? Could Chu Chu not beat Xiaoxiao? Chu Chu often mentioned killing people. She should be able to beat Xiaoxiao, right? Could it be because she can't beat Xiaoxiao that she has to listen to her? Really? He Yunxiao cautiously asked, "Chu Chu, can you beat Xiaoxiao?" Silence. He Yunxiao understood. After all was said and done, Xiaoxiao was slightly more formidable than Chu Chu. Xiaoxiao: Chu Chu. Xiaoxiao: Chu Chu? Xiaoxiao: Where are you? Xiaoxiao: It's great; now that you have a sweetheart, you don't care about me anymore. Chu Chu: If you can't help, don't talk nonsense. Xiaoxiao: ? Xiaoxiao: Why does it matter to me? It's He Yunxiao who was teasing you. Chu Chu: I made an agreement with He Yunxiao not to use inner strength. You didn't. Why didn't you come out then? Xiaoxiao: We agreed that you would face He Yunxiao. And you didn't call me… Xiaoxiao: Chu Chu? Xiaoxiao: Where are you? Xiaoxiao: I'll help you next time. After all, we are good sisters. Chu Chu: Okay. Xiaoxiao: Listen, later you can ask He Yunxiao to help me think of a solution. How to repair my relationship with my brother. Xiaoxiao: Chu Chu? Xiaoxiao: Then should I swap to deal with it myself? Chu Chu: No. Xiaoxiao: ???
