27: Fight to the death with you!

Hu Jia, holding a bowl of fish soup, arrived at the dining hall and quickly found Xun'er and the others who were eating.

Although many people were dining in the hall, gazes subtly drifted towards one corner.

In that spot, Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Ning were sitting together.

Xiao Ning made several trips, bringing all the food to the table, and urged Xiao Xun'er to eat quickly.

Noticing Xiao Mei's gaze, Xiao Ning quickly blinked, as if there was some agreement between them.

Just then, a fragrant aroma wafted over as Hu Jia walked in, carrying the fish soup, her eyes fixed on Xiao Ning.

"Hu Jia?" With a hint of reluctance, Xiao Ning gave up the seat across from Xun'er, watching Hu Qian happily sit down, feeling no joy himself.

Xiao Ning had already learned about Hu Jia's identity from his sister; she was not someone he could afford to provoke.

As soon as she sat down, Hu Jia enthusiastically invited Xun'er to try the fish soup and fish, also giving a few pieces to Xiao Mei.

Hu Jia herself didn't eat, resting her chin on her hands, gazing at Xun'er as she ate the fish in small bites.

It seemed watching Xun'er eat was a form of enjoyment for her.

"Damn it!" From Hu Jia, Xiao Ning felt a sense of crisis from a rival in love, yet he couldn't say anything.

"Thank you," Xun'er took two bites, nodded in satisfaction, and gave Hu Jia a polite smile.

Her sweet smile made Hu Jia also smile.

Xiao Ning wanted to taste the fish; as soon as he extended his chopsticks, he felt a pair of eyes on him, and his movements froze.

"You're Xiao Yu's younger brother, aren't you? You're quite plump, so don't eat meat. Just have some soup; there's plenty of nutrition in the soup." Hu Jia scooped two spoonfuls of fish soup into Xiao Ning's bowl.

"...Thank you." Xiao Ning touched his face, which had no trace of fat, and seeing that Hu Jia still wouldn't look away, he forced a smile to thank her.

The large bowl of fish was mostly eaten by Hu Jia, Xiao Xun'er, and Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei ate relatively slowly, occasionally hiding a few pieces of fish.

"This fish tastes really good. Lin Xiu fishes all the time; I wonder if he's ever had this kind of fish. I'll bring some to him to try later," Xiao Mei thought to herself.

During this time, she had also come to understand that a misunderstanding was just a misunderstanding, and she shouldn't actively give up.

Among the group, only Xiao Ning was gloomy. He had finally managed to get Xiao Mei to help him invite Xun'er out for a meal, but he didn't even get a chance to talk, as this woman, Hu Jia, took it all... Lakeside.

A gentle evening breeze stirred ripples on the lake.

Looking at the extremely assertive woman in front of him, Lin Xiu didn't understand what gave her such confidence.

From beginning to end, he had actively avoided those women from the Xiao Family, yet it seemed to only fuel Xiao Yu's arrogance.

Even a clay figure has some temper; did she really think he was easy to bully?

"You want me to explain? Why should I?" Lin Xiu's face was ashen as he spoke in a low voice.

"Last time I had no chance to teach you a lesson, but today I'll show you why," Xiao Yu's anger flared when she saw Lin Xiu was still not being cooperative.

Swish!

Her fair, jade-like long leg swept towards Lin Xiu, aiming directly for his head.

If he were hit, Lin Xiu would surely fall to the ground.

According to Xiao Yu's habit, the next step would be to step on her opponent.

She always enjoyed questioning others from a superior position.

However.

Before Xiao Yu's leg connected, Lin Xiu raised his arm and firmly blocked her.

His body barely moved at all.

"Your strength has improved? Perfect. I was worried about hurting you and wasn't using my full strength, but now I don't have to worry anymore."

Xiao Yu's face lit up when she saw Lin Xiu block her, "You beat my brother black and blue last time; I'll settle that score with you today."

The sound of flowing water emanated from within Xiao Yu's body; it was the movement caused by surging Qi.

"Xiao Ning is not my opponent, and neither are you," Lin Xiu chose to attack first.

He hadn't had dinner yet tonight and didn't want to be delayed by a crazy woman.

Xiao Yu used both her hands and legs, her Moves were vicious, and imbued with Qi, each strike carried great force.

She didn't go back on her word; she truly intended to teach Lin Xiu a lesson and avenge her brother.

However, what Xiao Yu didn't expect was that Lin Xiu managed to block all of her Moves.

"It's only been a few days, how has his strength increased so much?" Xiao Yu was startled.

Facing Lin Xiu's attacks, Xiao Yu began to retreat, the shock in her eyes gradually intensifying.

In her eyes, Lin Xiu had not only improved in strength, but his combat experience and techniques also showed no resemblance to a newly enrolled student.

Instead, he seemed like someone who had been honed through many missions and battles, with every strike being incredibly tricky.

Bang!

Xiao Yu crossed her arms to block Lin Xiu's punch, but the force transmitted made her continuously retreat, her back hitting a tree.

Seeing Lin Xiu continue to attack, Xiao Yu raised her long leg and kicked towards Lin Xiu, simultaneously twisting her body, preparing to use the force from kicking Lin Xiu to evade in another direction.

However.

Something Xiao Yu hadn't expected happened; due to the dim light, the direction she chose had a tree trunk.

By the time Xiao Yu reacted, her upper body had already squeezed through. It was too late to turn back; she could only fully pass through to get free.

Bracing her hands against the tree trunk, Xiao Yu prepared to push herself out.

At this moment, a force came from her foot; someone was holding her ankle, preventing her from leaving.

"Lin Xiu, let go of my foot!" The warmth at her ankle made Xiao Yu feel a bit uneasy.

"Crazy woman, today I'm going to give you an unforgettable lesson, so you'll be too ashamed to appear before me ever again!" Lin Xiu tugged at Xiao Yu's foot, an idea forming in his mind.

At this moment, Xiao Yu couldn't see what was behind her. One foot was being held by a male, the surroundings were dim, and there was no one else around, making her feel increasingly uneasy.

Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Xiao Yu struggled to crawl out while kicking with her other leg, hoping to break free from Lin Xiu's grasp.

Slap!

Before Xiao Yu could kick anyone, she felt a powerful slap on her calf.

The immense force penetrating her muscles brought pain, and faintly, a current of electricity also entered, making that leg instantly numb and limp.

Immediately after, her other leg experienced the same sensation.

"Ah!" A faint electric current shot from her legs to the top of her head. Xiao Yu instinctively let out a shriek, a soft and delicate sound, extremely peculiar.

She quickly covered her mouth, a hint of panic flashing across her face. How could she make such an embarrassing sound?

Thud!

At this moment, a dull thud came from behind her. Xiao Yu's delicate body trembled violently, almost letting out another gasp.

"Lin Xiu, stop it! If you dare to keep hitting me, once I get out, I swear I'll never let you off!" Feeling her delicate buttocks being slapped, Xiao Yu's blood instantly rushed to her head, her face flushed red like blood, and her skin became scorching hot.

There was no response from behind, but wind constantly swept across her buttocks, accompanied by a broad, thick palm.

At first, Xiao Yu still tried to struggle, starting with verbal threats, then escalating to curses, but gradually her voice grew softer.

To leave a deep impression on Xiao Yu, Lin Xiu even used the Ben Lei Palm he had just acquired today.

However, he had just started, so he couldn't unleash its full power. Each time the gathered lightning power would automatically dissipate upon contact with Xiao Yu.

After another slap, Lin Xiu suddenly felt the delicate body beneath his palm tremble violently, and at the same time, his fingertips vaguely felt wet.

"This is...?" Lin Xiu was not a child; he was a Transmigration, and roughly guessed a few possibilities. He stepped back a few paces, quickly turned around, and retreated to a spot more than ten paces away.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave, "I just gave her a small lesson, but I didn't actually do anything to her. I can't leave now; if some wild Yin Zhiping shows up, Xiao Yu might really never let me off."
