Chapter 422: Chapter 423 Try Your Kung Fu

Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly and said, "If we are both wrong about this matter, and the medallion came into our hands just by a stroke of fate, then wouldn’t you be at a loss?"

Feng Kexin’s face revealed two shallow dimples, her smile growing even sweeter as she said, "That wouldn’t be a loss at all, at least then there would be someone in this world who cares about me."

Song Xiaodong asked, "Don’t you have any other relatives? I’m talking about your foster parents."

Feng Kexin sighed lightly and said, "Well, I did have an uncle and an aunt, but when my parents told me that I was not their biological child, they overheard and began claiming that since I wasn’t their biological daughter, they should divide the inheritance, which made things very unpleasant, and now we hardly see each other anymore."

Song Xiaodong frowned and said, "Even if you are an adopted daughter, under normal circumstances, you should be eligible to inherit your parents’ estate, right?"

"Anyway, they used some maneuvers, and in the end, the court awarded most of the assets to them. But it doesn’t matter to me, I don’t need that much money. As long as I have enough for my own life, that’s enough. Besides, I can always make my own money in the future. Furthermore, they are my father’s siblings, so why should I argue with them over it?"

Song Xiaodong praised, "You really are open-minded."

"It’s alright, I don’t have much of a choice, after all, they are my parents’ family. Why should I bother getting angry with them? But now they are always worried that I will come back to claim the inheritance, so they keep their distance. I guess I don’t really have any relatives left."

Song Xiaodong said with empathy, "I can understand how you feel, at least I still have a sister who’s been with me through thick and thin. You are all alone, seemingly more unfortunate than me."

"You have a sister? That really makes me envious. You must be very close with your sister, right?"

"Why would you say that?"

"You said it yourself, you rely on each other for survival. Such sharing of hardships can’t be compared with anything else. Plus, when you mention your sister, there’s such tenderness in your eyes, and your tone slows down, which further indicates how important your sister is to you."

Song Xiaodong rubbed his nose and said, "I hadn’t noticed that myself. Your observational skills are quite impressive."

"Then you wouldn’t mind acknowledging me as your sister, right?" Feng Kexin chuckled lightly.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Fair enough. Then, I’ll consider you to be my long-lost cousin."

"Cousin!" Feng Kexin immediately beamed with a sweet smile. The first call seemed a bit awkward, but after a couple more tries, it came out quite naturally.

Song Xiaodong, with a smile, said, "Now that I suddenly have a cousin, I should give you a present, right?"

"I don’t want a gift, just care about me a little in the future, treat me as your real sister."

Song Xiaodong laughed lightly and said, "Of course, that’s not a problem. But you really are bold, allowing a big guy like me to come to your house when you are alone."

Feng Kexin immediately raised her little fist with pride and said, "Cousin, I’ve been practicing Karate and Taekwondo since I was young. I can take on three men by myself."

"That impressive?" Song Xiaodong looked at Feng Kexin with astonishment.

Feng Kexin appeared even more proud as she said, "Of course, would I dare to be so bold if I didn’t have the ability to defend myself?"

Song Xiaodong shook his head seriously and said, "Since you acknowledge me as your cousin, I’ll tell you that it’s still too dangerous to do that. Don’t think that the little Karate and Taekwondo you’ve learned will be useful. When you really face danger, those skills might not be of any help at all."

"Ah, are you looking down on me?" Feng Kexin was not convinced and said, "Should we put it to the test then?"

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly, "Alright."

He stood up in the middle of the living room and said, "Attack me now, however, you like. If you can make me move even a step, you win."

"That exaggerated?" Feng Kexin’s eyes widened as she looked at Song Xiaodong.

"Give it a try and you’ll know," Song Xiaodong said, his hands hanging casually by his sides.

"Then here I come for real." Feng Kexin was dressed in casual clothes, which surely allowed her to move freely. She adjusted her hands in front of her chest, took a beginner’s stance with one foot in front of the other, bounced lightly on her feet then threw a punch straight at Song Xiaodong’s face.

Song Xiaodong slightly tilted his head, easily dodging Feng Kexin’s fist, "Don’t worry, you won’t hurt me, just show me what you’ve got."

Having missed with her fist, Feng Kexin started to believe in Song Xiaodong’s abilities. She struck again, faster than before, her fist making a whooshing sound as it aimed for Song Xiaodong’s body.

Song Xiaodong raised his right hand, effortlessly blocked, and redirected her attacks. His movements didn’t seem fast, but they effectively intercepted Feng Kexin’s fists every time, displaying the effortless grace of a true master.

"Wow, cousin, you really are amazing. Now I’m going to use my feet; I don’t believe I can’t hit you or make you take a step back." Feng Kexin got a bit stubborn as she limbered up her legs before leaping towards Song Xiaodong’s waist.

Song Xiaodong swung his right hand, easily blocking her shin, and her kick was as ineffective as before.

"Ah!" Feng Kexin let out a cry, her right leg raised up high, her foot lifted above her head, as she executed a beautiful downward chopping motion aimed at Song Xiaodong’s head.

If she didn’t have years of practice, she wouldn’t have been able to perform such a move. Song Xiaodong also praised, "Nice!" but still, as he raised his hand, he had already caught Feng Kexin’s ankle.

Feng Kexin had used all her strength in that move, only to have Song Xiaodong casually catch it with one hand. A feeling of defeat welled up inside her; with her leg still raised, she stared at Song Xiaodong in shock, forgetting to put it down.

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Convinced yet?"

"Unconvinced!" Feng Kexin drew back her leg, and Song Xiaodong let go of her ankle accordingly.

Feng Kexin eyed Song Xiaodong, took two steps back, and let out another yell. With a bit of a run-up and two meters away from Song Xiaodong, she suddenly leapt into the air, her feet aiming for Song Xiaodong’s neck, executing a beautiful Deadly Scissor Kick.

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, the move was a bit too aggressive. If he didn’t step back and simply caught her feet, Feng Kexin might get hurt from the fall. It indeed gave him a bit of a headache.
