Chapter 195: Two-Headed Lapdog
Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth, a smile almost breaking out on his face.
“It’s no use. If you don’t go on stage, she’ll come straight for you. To solve this problem, you only have two options.”
“First is for you to go easy and let her win. As long as she wins, she naturally won’t bother you anymore.”
“The second is for you to beat her into submission. From then on, you’ll gain a little fangirl, or a ‘Qing-stan,’ hehe… cough cough!”
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Bai Yu. This scoundrel, instead of helping, he just knew how to make fun of her. It was truly annoying!
Zhuqing then shook her head. Forget it, let nature take its course. She couldn’t possibly hide from her just because she was afraid of trouble, could she?
Besides, a monk can run, but his temple can’t. There was no escaping it anyway.
While the Shrek Team was returning to the academy, the Blazing Academy’s lounge also became lively, as the two-headed lapdog, Feng Xiaotian, also came to visit Huo Wu.
“Huo Wu, are you alright? You were too impulsive today. It’s just a match, why use a forbidden technique?”
“If you damage your foundation and potential, then it’s all over for the future. You can’t do that again next time. If you lose, you lose. Just beat them back next time you meet!”
Feng Xiaotian stood beside Huo Wu, rambling on incessantly, completely oblivious to the bulging veins on Huo Wu’s forehead and her expression that wished to slap him.
“Shut up! Feng Xiaotian, why aren’t you staying at your own academy? You came here just to say these useless things?”
Feng Xiaotian’s rambling was directly interrupted by Huo Wu. He then put on an embarrassed smile and whispered:
“I’m just worried about you. You don’t know, when you used that forbidden technique, I was so anxious I almost rushed up there.”
“Thankfully, nothing happened, otherwise I… cough, your parents and Huo Wushuang would be so sad!”
Seeing Feng Xiaotian like this, Huo Wu’s fists clenched tightly. If she hadn’t overexerted her body earlier and was somewhat weak now, she would have definitely given Feng Xiaotian a taste of her Fire Dance Radiant Sun.
“Can you stop being so effeminate? You’re really annoying me! Hmph, you like me and want to be my boyfriend, right?”
“Alright then, I’ll give you a chance. You saw Zhu Zhuqing, who was on the Shrek Team today, right? Beat her, and I’ll try being your girlfriend!”
“Ah, this!?”
Feng Xiaotian’s mouth hung open, his face full of conflict. He was both excited and distressed by Huo Wu’s words.
He was excited that Huo Wu finally gave him a chance, but distressed that he had to beat Zhu Zhuqing. He wasn’t afraid of fighting a match, but could he switch to someone else?
Their team leader had just mentioned information about this girl named Zhu Zhuqing to him. A girl barely fourteen years old. Winning against her didn’t seem very glorious, did it?
“Hiss, Huo Wu, how about we pick someone else? What about their captain? The one named Dai Mubai. His strength is also pretty good!”
Huo Wu crossed her arms, glancing at Feng Xiaotian expressionlessly, and said indifferently:
“No, I’ve already seen that Dai Mubai. His strength is similar to my brother’s, just so-so.”
“But Zhu Zhuqing is different. She only ran out of spirit power because she blocked my Spirit Ability. Her true strength hasn’t been fully displayed.”
“My intuition tells me that she is the strongest one in the Shrek Team.”
Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang, who was watching the show nearby, both put on pained expressions. One had to challenge a young girl, and the other was belittled by his own sister. It was truly unbearable.
The two exchanged glances and both sighed.
…
The next day, the Shrek Team quite skillfully defeated the Thunderclap Academy and continued their winning streak in the subsequent matches.
“Tomorrow is another tough one, Tianshui Academy. My suggestion is to give up this match. We forfeit.”
“With our current points, we’ve already qualified. There’s no need to fight Tianshui head-on. Even if we win, someone will probably get injured, and the cost-effectiveness is too low.”
After winning today’s match, Yu Xiaogang, uncharacteristically, became serious and tried to persuade the Shrek Team to forfeit tomorrow’s match.
But the others clearly didn’t think so. Their winning streak these past few days had made them arrogant, and they all thought they were the strongest in Heaven Dou.
“Don’t forfeit, Grandmaster! It’s just Tianshui Academy, isn’t it? We even beat Blazing and Thunderclap. How could we lose to Tianshui?”
“Oscar is right, we can’t forfeit. Just those little girls from Tianshui, watch how Fatty will deal with them on stage!”
At this time, not only Ma Hongjun and others disagreed with forfeiting, but even Zhu Zhuqing and the others were unwilling. They had been on a winning streak. Could Tianshui really be stronger than them?
Yu Xiaogang frowned. He really felt there was no need to fight. Even if they won, it would affect subsequent matches, and it wasn’t worth it.
But since the students all wanted to fight, and he didn’t have that much authority, it was hard to stop them. He could only turn to Flender and Bai Yu, gesturing for them to say something.
Flender’s eyes showed some hesitation. His good brother was right, there was indeed no need to fight, but the Little freaks were full of fighting spirit, and he didn’t want to stop them. What should he do?
He then also cast his gaze towards Bai Yu, wanting to hear his thoughts.
“Bai Xiaozi, do you think we should fight this match?”
Bai Yu paused his melon seed cracking, feeling a bit speechless. He wasn’t the team leader, just watching the show. Why did they keep asking him?
“If they want to fight, let them fight. Since they’re so confident, let them go. With the current points, even if something unexpected happens, as long as they can win one or two more matches afterward, they can still qualify.”
Hearing Bai Yu agree to let them fight, Ma Hongjun and the others immediately cheered, but Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, who were very familiar with him, frowned.
Because they heard from Bai Yu’s tone that he didn’t seem very optimistic about Shrek winning, but they didn’t ask. Fighting Tianshui was also their idea. How could they retreat when facing difficulties?
Afterward, as everyone returned to the academy, Yu Xiaogang pulled Flender and quietly approached Bai Yu.
“Bai Yu, I see from your meaning that you’re not optimistic about them winning, are you? Then why did you agree to let them fight this match?”
“You should know that if the main team members are severely injured, the subsequent matches will be difficult.”
“Next, we still have to face the Divine Wind Academy and the Elephant Armor Academy. If we lose both, our position won’t be secure.”
Bai Yu looked at Yu Xiaogang in surprise. Indeed, the person who understands you best is your enemy. Every word you say, its underlying meaning, is analyzed clearly by them.
“Hehe, I didn’t say Zhuqing and the others would definitely lose, did I? But Tianshui Academy does have something. If they fight normally, it’s a fifty-fifty chance for both teams.”
“But now, our Shrek Team members are a bit arrogant, so the chances of winning will decrease somewhat.”
