The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 534 - 498: Call Me Sister

Lu Muyao agreed.

The "bet" was immediately put into action.

The two of them went back to the place where Lu Muyao had been practicing on the wooden dummy.

The little black cat was taken away by Lu Wen.

Qiao Yuxian and Lu Muyao stood on opposite sides of the wooden dummy.

Once they stood still, they simply glanced at each other and moved forward to start fighting.

Lu Wen hadn’t even reacted when the two were already hitting each other.

And they were fighting fiercely.

The night before last, when they fought, they were somewhat restrained.

But now, both were being particularly ruthless.

The weather was clear, and Lu Wen couldn’t feel a hint of wind.

But as Lu Muyao threw a punch, when Qiao Yuxian tilted her head to dodge, the hair by her face flew up.

It wasn’t because of the movement of her head.

It was the strong wind from the punch that blew it up.

Lu Wen’s heart jumped to his throat.

Afraid his master would injure Mrs. Gu badly.

Mr. Gu might directly kill him.

Qiao Yuxian dodged the punch, then grabbed his arm with her other hand, pressing it down, simultaneously delivering an elbow strike.

Lu Muyao blocked her elbow strike with his other hand.

Qiao Yuxian quickly changed direction, chopping towards his neck.

Lu Muyao dodged back.

Qiao Yuxian tried to trip him with her leg.

Lu Muyao noticed and applied force with his leg.

Both were locked in a stalemate.

Qiao Yuxian then kneed towards his abdomen.

Lu Muyao used his hand to block again, pushing her back a bit afterward.

The two drew apart slightly.

But quickly lunged at each other again.

The area was very spacious, with only a wooden dummy in the middle.

But Qiao Yuxian and Lu Muyao fought so vigorously, that even such a wide space was not enough as they battled from left to right, front to back.

The surrounding plants and flowers were impacted too.

Originally, the place was quite clean and tidy.

Now there were scattered patches of grass and leaves here, a red flower there, and a purple one elsewhere...

The wooden dummy in the middle was reduced to a wooden stump by their blows, and soon enough, it was knocked down by one of Qiao Yuxian’s kicks.

After the dummy fell, it wasn’t long before.

Gu Yanjing, Lu Mengyi, and Lin Huai Shu, who had arrived early in the morning, showed up.

When Lin Huai Shu saw the scene, he almost felt his eyeballs would fall out.

Lu Mengyi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She instinctively looked at Gu Yanjing’s expression.

Gu Yanjing’s expression seemed unchanged.

Not much different from usual, just watching Qiao Yuxian.

After their meeting, they heard that Lu Muyao and Qiao Yuxian were fighting in the backyard.

The three of them rushed over.

But the shock from hearing the news was far less than seeing the scene with their own eyes.

They thought it would be just a spar.

But upon seeing it.

This wasn’t a spar at all.

This was literally trying to take the other’s life.

Lu Muyao grabbed Qiao Yuxian’s wrist, twisting it behind her, and pressed down.

Qiao Yuxian was forced to bend over by his pressure.

Lu Muyao’s grip was still strong.

Lu Mengyi instinctively called out to him, "Lu Muyao!"

If he continued applying that force in that direction, Qiao Yuxian’s arm would break.

But as she shouted, no one heeded her.

As Lu Muyao pressed harder, Qiao Yuxian reached up with her other hand and grabbed the clothing on his shoulder from behind.

Not giving Lu Muyao another chance to apply more pressure, she executed an over-the-shoulder throw.

Lin Huai Shu’s face twisted slightly with tension, but watching Qiao Yuxian’s move, he still couldn’t help but wonder inwardly how she could muster the strength for that throw.

Lu Mengyi broke out in a cold sweat, but seeing Qiao Yuxian unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked again at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing still showed little expression.

Just kept watching Qiao Yuxian.

As if he knew Qiao Yuxian would be fine.

Lu Muyao had no intention of stopping, immediately getting up and attacking Qiao Yuxian again.

Lu Mengyi prepared to step forward.

"Let them fight," Gu Yanjing said.

Lu Mengyi stopped and looked at him.

Gu Yanjing’s expression remained unchanged, and they couldn’t detect his emotions either.

But when he spoke, his voice was icy and soft.

Gu Yanjing said nothing more,

and Lu Mengyi didn’t move.

Lin Huai Shu, usually quite talkative, also kept quiet.

Silently marveling inwardly.

He was too amazed by Qiao Yuxian’s strength.

Always feeling her power had no ceiling, strengthening when meeting stronger opponents.

Moreover, he was even more surprised that.

After standing there for ten or so minutes, Qiao Yuxian blocked Lu Muyao’s sweeping kick, skillfully changed direction, and pressed his leg down.

Lu Muyao had no choice but to plant his foot on the ground and counterattack.

Qiao Yuxian gripped his wrists tightly, mimicking his previous move, bending him over.

But she didn’t go behind him, staying by his side instead.

As she pressed him down, she kneed his chest.

Lu Muyao immediately clutched his chest, involuntarily kneeling on one knee.

Qiao Yuxian released his hands.

Lu Muyao propped himself on one hand, clutching his chest, on one knee.

Lu Wen felt his brain buzz.

Wasn’t he injured?

Qiao Yuxian brushed off the dirt from her hands, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm, and said, panting slightly, "I’m burning up."

She walked up to Lu Muyao, looked at him, and said, "Can you still get up?"

Lu Muyao gritted his teeth, trying to stand, but failed, glaring up at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him for a while and also squatted down, asking, "Hurts, doesn’t it? Can’t get up? What should we do?"

Lu Muyao was in too much pain to speak.

"Don’t worry, you’re fine. I was holding back, your bones won’t break," Qiao Yuxian said, "it’ll hurt less in a bit."

"If you still want to fight, I’ll just sit here and wait for a while," Qiao Yuxian said, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

She picked up a battered flower with only a single petal left from nearby.

Since her clothes were already dirty, she didn’t mind getting them dirtier.

The sun-warmed ground felt quite cozy.

"Actually, you could’ve blocked my knee just now, but you were too fixated on counterattacking me," Qiao Yuxian said, twirling the flower between her fingers, "which gave me the opportunity."

Lu Muyao still couldn’t speak.

Qiao Yuxian watched him for a bit, then asked, "Why don’t you admit defeat and stop fighting?"

Lu Muyao glared at her again.

Qiao Yuxian met his glare.

After a few seconds, Lu Muyao said, "I’m done fighting."

It wasn’t that he conceded easily.

He realized that even if the fight continued, he would lose.

Although it seemed like they hadn’t decided a winner.

But he truly felt he couldn’t beat her.

There were several times when she hadn’t used her full strength.

Yet he had used all of his.

"Oh," Qiao Yuxian was slightly surprised and said, "you’ve recovered quickly, able to speak now."

Lu Muyao glared at her again, choosing not to respond.

Qiao Yuxian smiled and said, "Remember, promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Lu Muyao laboriously said, uttering four words.

"Hmm..." Qiao Yuxian seemed to think seriously for a moment, then said, "Call me sister first, let’s hear it."
