Chapter 201: 189 Wool One

"Is this what you call a good disguise?!"

Looking at the two people in front of her.

Xie Zhen looked at the goosebumps naturally emerging on her own hands, which hadn’t subsided even now that the other had turned around to lead the way.

But these natural reactions on her body had continued for so long without disappearing.

"A bit exaggerated...."

She nudged Li Chengjiu with her elbow.

"He... he wasn’t like this before!" Li Chengjiu said through clenched teeth, his voice deep and angry as he fixed his gaze on his younger brother’s back.

From this angle.

The guy’s back was all muscle, bulging so high it was almost bursting through his suit.

"You can’t get that big from steroids so fast, can you? What on earth has he been training?!"

"Strengthening Injections... and it must have been more than three shots in a short period, and they would have to be optimized second-grade or higher Strengthening Injections to have this outcome," Xie Zhen whispered gravely.

"I’ve seen it on a friend before; if the nutrients and medicinal effects in the Strengthening Injections aren’t fully absorbed in a short time, they’ll rapidly be taken up by muscle fibers, and then it turns wastefully into even larger muscle mass. But... such cases are rare because very few people would squander Strengthening Injections like that."

"....." Li Chengjiu didn’t reply; she still didn’t know what to say.

It seemed that a lot had happened at home during the time she was away.

And the biggest change was in Li Chengyi.

A group of people arrived at the parking lot, and a six-seat business vehicle was already silently and automatically parked on the road, with the doors opening automatically.

This was the official car Li Chengyi had arranged for himself. It looked like a common sedan, but in reality, its safety features were top-notch. It cost him quite a bit of money.

This purchase was only possible with the continuously high profits from the Exotic Garden; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to afford the car.

"This car..."

Li Chengjiu was not one to lack perception; standing in front of the car, she could see at a glance that this was no ordinary vehicle.

When did Li Chengyi become so wealthy?!

Chauffeured car services, and even a secretary to accompany him...

She felt like she understood him less and less.

After getting into the car, with Fan Yufei’s silly stream of questions, the atmosphere lightened, and the tension inside the car didn’t feel as it did in the beginning.

At the very least, the stress response on Li Chengjiu and Xie Zhen wasn’t as exaggerated as when they first met.

Their ride took them to a local cuisine restaurant in Suiyang, heading into a private room that had already been booked in advance.

A large table full of dishes was served in succession, clearly prepared beforehand so they could eat as soon as they arrived.

"Come, come, don’t be shy. These are all local dishes; you might not be able to try them anywhere else," Li Chengyi invited everyone to eat.

At this moment, he seemed to have no issues at all with Li Chengjiu.

Everyone was well, and everything was good.

"You’re too polite... there’s so much food!" Fan Yufei exclaimed. "This seems a bit too extravagant."

"It’s nothing, you all train so hard, which consumes a lot. Eating more is good for your body! You can digest it all," Li Chengyi said with a smile.

"Li Chengyi... weren’t you and your sister in a good relationship? She just said that you two didn’t get along. It must have been a joke," Fan Yufei laughed.

"How could that be? She just loves to joke around, you see. Despite her tough talk, our sibling relationship has always been good. We’ve been close from childhood," Li Chengyi glanced at his sister Li Chengjiu. "Right, sister?"

Li Chengjiu didn’t even look at him, instead bowing her head and eating furiously.

"Look, she’s shy again," Li Chengyi laughed.

"Really... I’ve never seen this side of Chengjiu!" Fan Yufei was surprised.

"I’m telling you, she used to be a crybaby, with a huge temper, ready to explode at the slightest thing.

Then later, as she grew up, she started to bully me, relying on her talent... Ah, those days are painful to recall," Li Chengyi reminisced.

"Ah? It was like that?" Fan Yufei was surprised.

"It’s true. Later on, I couldn’t take her bullying anymore, so I decided to fight back," Li Chengyi continued. "So, I started to practice Combat Technique and stuff. Who would have thought, I was actually more talented than her!"

"Wow!" Fan Yufei was quite supportive, expressing amazement. "And then?"

"Then? Then I beat her up. Made her cry. She stood there, crying and yelling at me, asking why? Why couldn’t she beat me after all her hard training," Li Chengyi burst into laughter, apparently unconcerned with his sister Li Chengjiu whose face was turning redder by the minute.

"And then?" Fan Yufei was curious as well.

"Then? I just told her, do you even have to ask that? Do you think I’m one of those stupid villains from TV shows? In a fight, would I explain why I am so strong? Isn’t that ridiculous?!"

"That’s hilarious!! How could Chengjiu be so funny?!"

"Right?! She was all teary-eyed, stamping her feet! She would cry when she couldn’t beat me, I almost died laughing!"

"She even stamped her feet?! My God! Hahahaha!!"

The two of them started laughing hysterically, slapping the table.

Li Chengjiu’s face, meanwhile, had gone from red to black.

Bang!

She finally couldn’t hold back, slamming her palm on the table.

"No...! There was no foot stamping!!!"

She roared.

Rage +5.

Rage +5.

"Let’s eat, let’s eat. Sister, you can’t seriously not take a joke, right? We’re just telling jokes to lighten the mood," Li Chengyi said, his eyes wide with feigned confusion.

"You have friends here, show some dignity, it’s just a joke. Don’t get mad," he quickly tried to soothe her.

"Yeah, Chengjiu, your brother shared so many funny stories about you from before. They’re so hilarious, weren’t you super cute?" Fan Yufei added naively from the side.

Xie Zhen sat in her seat, sighing inwardly as she observed Li Chengjiu trembling with anger.

She could see clearly now; the sibling relationship was truly strained...

And she understood why Li Chengjiu had such a reaction to the idea of going home...

If she were in the same situation, probably she would be just as furious.

"Time to eat, time to eat," Li Chengyi called out to everyone.

"I won’t eat! Come out and fight me one-on-one!" Li Chengjiu pushed her chair away and pointed at Li Chengyi.

"Last time you got lucky and won, but this time... I’m gonna beat you to death!" Her eyes were bloodshot with anger, thoroughly inflamed.

Li Chengyi raised an eyebrow and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth.

"If you don’t eat, wouldn’t all this food go to waste?"

"Come out!" Li Chengjiu just couldn’t hold back any longer. Pointing at Li Chengyi, the fury in her eyes was utterly uncontrollable.

"Fine," he agreed.

Li Chengyi pushed back his chair and stood up.

"Then let’s get some exercise. Xing Tong, arrange a venue."

"O... okay." Zhou Xingtong was a bit stunned.

She had only just started her job as a secretary these few days.

The impact on her had been quite substantial.

First, there were the meetings at the Association Building.

Then, dining with his own sister in the evening, the atmosphere was tensely charged.

The more Zhou Xingtong interacted with Li Chengyi over these past days, whom she initially thought she knew, the stranger he became to her.

At first, she thought Li Chengyi was just an ordinary office worker.

Then she learned that Li Chengyi owned his own small company.

After that, she was shocked to discover that Li Chengyi was eligible to join the Association. Was he actually a big shot in the Association?!

And now... this Association big shot was actually going to fight his own sister??

What kind of bizarre twist was this?!

Zhou Xingtong tried her best to maintain her composure and facial expressions, quickly searching for a suitable location on her phone.

Where should one go to find a venue dedicated to fighting?

After two minutes of searching, she quickly made a call and booked a martial arts gym.

Fifteen minutes later.

Bolang Club.

In the large green lawn in the backyard.

White Star hung high, with moonlight evenly sprinkling down, casting a thin layer of pale ash on the green grass.

Li Chengjiu stood erect, gently unwinding the medical bandage wrapped around her arm, coil by coil.

It was a medical bandage used to accelerate muscle repair.

She had already taken off the usual godly coat she wore, revealing the tight undershirt beneath.

The undershirt was a staple in the military, used to quickly equip various standardized module armaments.

It had many slots for attachments like force field modules, encryption modules, anti-hacker modules, reconnaissance modules, and other external equipment.

It was somewhat like an exoskeleton, but without the clumsiness and high protection.

It was generally the standard uniform for Military Flight Instrument Masters.

The black tight-fitting uniform made Li Chengjiu blend into the night, giving her an indistinct and elusive appearance.

She tied up her long hair and looked up at someone about ten meters away.

Li Chengyi was standing there, taking off his suit jacket and undoing the top few buttons of his shirt.

From this angle.

The guy had a much larger build than hers...

His shirt was stretched taut by solid muscles, his hands had thick knuckles, and his fingers resembled steel rods or the vicious claws of some large predatory beast, exuding an eerily fierce vibe.

"Are you ready?" Li Chengjiu asked in a deep voice.

Now that the moment of confrontation had arrived, she understood that she should not let anger control her body, otherwise, she would only be able to exert seventy or eighty percent of her strength at most.

Being a true disciple of the Yanhu Sect, she also had internal methods to help calm herself down.

At this moment, her body was slightly arched, and her eyes were slowly turning ferocious.

Her muscles undulated rhythmically.

An inexplicable aura, akin to that of a ferocious tiger, rose from her.

At this time, she was like a dangerous tiger ready to pounce on its prey.

Li Chengyi moved his hands, standing upright as his muscles too began to subtly ripple.

Looking at the ready Li Chengjiu across from him.

He tilted his head, reached out, and beckoned to her with a crooked finger.

"Who do you think will win?"

At the edge of the lawn.

Xie Zhen, Fan Yufei, Zhou Xingtong, and a few club workers and fighters who had come to watch the excitement, had gathered around.

Fan Yufei quietly asked Xie Zhen.

"I originally thought Chengjiu would definitely win, but her brother seems very confident too..." she said thoughtfully.

"Hard to say... but I still think Chengjiu has a much better chance. Those who have not undergone the military’s internal special training can’t understand what that level of intensity means," Xie Zhen said earnestly.

They had all been selected from within.

So they knew very well that ordinary people could never have such resources and intensity for training.

Not to mention training takes a lot of time.

How can an ordinary person have all day to train when they have to work and do other things?

"That makes sense," Fan Yufei nodded.

"What about you? How proficient is your boss? You’re his secretary, right?" She turned her head to ask Zhou Xingtong.

"...I... don’t know," Zhou Xingtong shook her head, bemused. "But... I think the boss usually doesn’t do things he’s unsure of... he should... win, right?"

"You can tell you’re an amateur," Xie Zhen shook her head. "Sister, you need to understand, in this era of technology, those big muscle lines are the least useful. True strength comes from utilization efficiency. Speed and power need to be balanced – that’s what truly matters. If you have too much bulk, your explosive speed drops. You need to find a proper midpoint."
