If there was one creed that Xiao Luo had always believed in, it was this: you reap what you sow. Of late, he had been somewhat troubled about how he and the system had merged as a single entity. And on several occasions, it even controlled his actions. Now that he thought about it, his misgivings were justified, and he avoided using it if he could.

“Mie, I want to fight you!”

Just as he pondered the matter, a challenge reached his ear.

Xiao Luo raised his head and saw a man with a buzz cut glaring at him with tiger-like eyes. His sturdy body was muscular, and his mannerism displayed overt aggression. But his face was deathly pale, he had deep-sunken eyes and looked like he was hyperventilating. If one were to only look at his head, this person would easily be mistaken for a seriously ill man.

“Ren Maohua, what the hell you want to do now?” Ji Siying hissed. They filled her eyes with disgust.

“Siying, I love you more than anything in this world. Even if the world comes to an end, it cannot stop me from loving you. For your sake, I will never retreat—no matter how strong my opponent is.”

Ren Maohua expressed his admiration for Ji Siying, then turned his gaze back to Xiao Luo. “Mie, come and have a duel with me. Only the strong deserve Siying.”

“F*ck off!”

Xiao Luo responded, giving little respect to his challenger.

Ren Maohua’s tone came across as calm, though inwardly, he was so intimidated that he broke out in a cold sweat as he recalled the time when Xiao Luo had beaten up. However, knowing that Xiao Luo was still injured and had just awakened, he believed that Xiao Luo had not recovered to his peak condition. It was why he dared to shout at Xiao Luo and challenge him to a duel. It was all to win Ji Siying’s favor.

He gathered his courage and smiled slyly. “Stop shouting in my face. In your present condition and strength level, any B-rank warrior can easily crush you. Let me warn you—if you don’t have the guts to fight me, then stop trying to seduce Siying. She is the woman whom I have set my eyes on as my future wife!”

Hearing those words, Ji Siying was both embarrassed and annoyed. She had rejected this fool on countless occasions, and each time, she made her intentions very clear. She did not want to give him any chance to fantasize. However, he refused to give up and continued to chase after her relentlessly. Sometimes, she even felt like resigning from her position as a liaison officer just to avoid such a creepy character once and for all.

“Ren Maohua, don’t talk nonsense. There’s no possibility of a relationship between us. Just give up!”

“Siying, you’ve stolen my heart and soul. If you make me give up, you’re asking me to die,” Ren Maohua said with a frown.

Xiao Luo quipped, “Then, go ahead and just die!”

Ren Maohua glared at him and scowled, “Shut up if you don’t dare to fight with me. Watch yourself, you loser!”

“Ren Maohua, I feel a rising rage within me, so let me give you a piece of advice—don’t provoke me, otherwise…”

“Otherwise, what?”

Ren Maohua had a smug smile on his face. He was sure that Xiao Luo was now still weak and would not be able to defend himself. It was for this reason that he dared provoke Xiao Luo, and regain some face from the thrashing he received previously. And of course, this was a chance for him to win back the favor of the beauty, Siying. “Mie, you don’t have the right to say such things. Let me give you a piece of advice. Quickly leave Siying’s side. She’s as good as my wife. Don’t even think about touching her!”

“Ren Maohua… You!”

Ji Siying gritted her teeth in fury. What he had said made her feel disgusted.

“My future wife, Siying, do you not know how I feel? I can’t sleep at night—I always miss you and think of you day and night. I’ve hung photos of you all over my room wall. I love you… I really love you. I can’t live without you in my life.” Ren Maohua expressed his deep love for Ji Siying again.

“You bast*rd! How many times do I have to reject you before you give up?” Ji Siying’s face was red with anger.

“Give up? I can’t give up. I would never give up in my life. I am resolved to make you my own. This is my lifelong ambition!” Ren Maohua said and shook his head resolutely.

Swoosh!

In a flash, Xiao Luo suddenly appeared in front of Ren Maohua. His right hand stretched out like a striking viper and clasped Ren Maohua’s throat like a steel clamp. Xiao Luo raised his arm and lifted him off the ground. A sense of panic numbed Ren Maohua’s brain.

“Ren Mao Hua, is your brain filled with water?”

Xiao Luo glared at him like a rabid wolf. “Or do you feel the punishment you received before was not severe enough? Do you need me to teach you a lesson again?”

Xiao Luo’s tone was vicious and chilling.

It stunned ren Maohua. He thought to himself—d*mn it, didn’t this guy just wake up from a coma after being beaten half to death? He’s even more powerful than before. What’s going on?

He eked out a smile and tried to explain, “It-it is a misunderstanding…”

“Misunderstanding?”

Xiao Luo sneered, “I don’t think this is a misunderstanding!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Luo tossed Ren Maohua some four meters in the air, and just before he hit the ground, Xiao Luo kicked his chest with his right foot.

BAM!

It sounded like a dull explosion, and Ren Maohua felt his internal organs churning. He groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood as he doubled over. The kick sent him flying back like a cannonball and he crashed over ten meters away.

“Hiss…”

The members of the NSA headquarters watching from afar gasped. At first, they thought that Xiao Luo was still weakened from his injuries, and his strength was compromised as well. But from what they had just seen, it was not the case at all. Ren Mao Hua was done for!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Xiao Luo moved like a shadow and appeared in front of Ren Maohua. He stepped on Ren Maohua’s chest and stared down at him, “Are you awake now?”

“Mie… It… it’s a misunderstanding… It’s a misunderstanding…”

Ren Maohua was crying, and he finally understood what courting death meant. It was said that a tiger’s rear end should never be touched. In Ren Maohua’s case, he was using his leg to kick a tiger’s b*tt, and it was ten times more dangerous than touching it.

“Looks like I did not myself clear enough!”

Xiao Luo said mockingly before he kicked Ren Maohua again like a rubber ball.

Crack!

The crisp sound of bones breaking was audible, and Ren Maohua howled in excruciating pain. After he landed in a heap, his nose and mouth were bleeding profusely. But before he could catch his breath, Xiao Luo suddenly appeared in front of him again.

“Let me ask you one more time. Are you awake now?”

“I… I was wrong. I… I’m sorry… I was wrong. I know, I was wrong…” Ren Maohua held on to Xiao Luo’s leg and pleaded for mercy.

Xiao Luo shook his head and scowled, “You have still not woken up!”

He slammed his foot into Ren Maohua again.

Being kicked repeatedly, Ren Maohua was traumatized and thought he would die. He had lost count of the broken bones in his body, and the unbearable pain made him cry like a child.
