Chapter 343 Huo Wu: Brother, prepare my dowry for me! The seven girls took Luo Yu to the restaurant!_1

Huowushuang watched his sister decide to go after Luo Yu.

He kept howling in agony.

The double blow to body and mind made him feel as if his brain was starved of oxygen, waves of dizziness overwhelming him.

Huo Wu glanced over and saw Luo Yu being gradually surrounded and led away by the Heavenly Water Girl Group, slowly disappearing from her sight.

Urgency flashed through her beautiful eyes.

"Brother, stop shouting," she said.

"Losing this badly is embarrassing enough, making more noise would only shame us further."

"What?" Huowushuang stood rooted to the spot, his mouth agape as he asked, "I've been beaten to a pulp here, and you're not angry, not seeking revenge on that kid?"

Huo Wu shook her head.

"Brother—"

"You're a man, so you should accept defeat graciously and stand tall when you're beaten," she reminded him.

"Have you forgotten the grand claims you made on stage earlier?"

Huowushuang looked utterly shocked.

"You... are you still my sister?!" he exclaimed.

"You're not even married off yet, and you're already turning your back on us?"

"That guy is so despicable."

Huo Wu shook her head and glared at him.

"Brother, I won't allow you to speak ill of him!" she reprimanded.

"Didn't you realize he was holding back against us?" she pointed out.

"Huh?" Huowushuang looked comically incredulous, pointing to the scorched imprint of a hand on his face, "Sister, are you blind? You call this holding back?"

"Sigh," she sighed, her red lips parting slightly.

"Brother, he casually delivered a sword strike that shattered the teacher's Martial Soul True Body," she explained.

"Do you think you're tougher than the teacher?" she asked.

"I'm starting to suspect that he was holding back out of fear that he might accidentally kill us with a little too much force," she mused.

Huowushuang felt as if thunder had struck his heart, suddenly realizing some troubling truths.

He instinctively looked around.

Though everyone was lying on the ground, seemingly gravely injured, not a single one had sustained life-threatening damage.

"This…" he was overwhelmed with shock and awe.

He had thought he had gauged the full extent of the kid's combat power, only to discover that what he had seen was merely the surface; so, the kid had just been toying with them all along?

Even fearful that he might, in a moment of careless play, have killed them off?

Huo Wu's gaze was complex.

"Do you understand now, big brother?" she asked.

"Be grateful for his mercy in sparing our lives," she suggested.

"At his age, to possess such terrifying strength, do you think he spared us out of concern for Chi Fire Academy?" she queried.

Huowushuang's pupils dilated, his head bowed, his spirit deflated.

"You're right," he admitted.

"I don't even have the right to resent him," he confessed.

"I've lost completely."

Huo Wu's expression softened a bit, patting his shoulder.

"Big brother, don't be disheartened," she encouraged.

"I think, among the young generation of our entire continent, no matter who it is, they'd all be brought to their knees by him," she opined.

Huowushuang let out a wistful sigh, "It's hard to imagine the day he rises to his full power, what kind of earth-shattering strength he will have. It's truly terrifying."

"To live in the same era as such a person is just damn tragic and unfortunate!" he exclaimed.

"I feel like this guy is destined to suppress an entire era, leaving no one able to hold their heads high," he stated.

Huo Wu shook her head, countering, "Brother, you don't need to feel it."

"That is the reality," she said.

"Also, to live in the same era as him, I think, is the most fortunate thing that has ever happened to me in this lifetime," she revealed.

"What are you talking about?" Huowushuang asked, perplexed. "You like to be suppressed?"

Huo Wu glanced at him, her beautiful eyes looking towards the direction Luo Yu had left.

A look of intoxication crossed her delicate face.

She whispered softly,

"Brother, you don't understand women,"

"For a woman to be subdued by such a man, it's a form of luck," she mused.

Huowushuang was at a loss for words, "You... when did you develop a liking for masochism?"

"Slap!"

Huo Wu slapped his shoulder.

"Typical man of steel."

"If you can't speak properly, then stop talking nonsense," she scolded.

"We women, especially I, Huo Wu, adore powerful men most in our lives," she claimed.

"If I can't even defeat you, how could you be worthy of being my man?"

Ah Yin unconsciously said, "Then Feng Xiaotian could defeat you too, yet I haven't seen you show any interest in him."

"Can you not bring him up?" Huo Wu frowned, "A woman will never truly like a man who panders to her excessively, with no sense of masculinity, unless there's no other choice."

Huo Wu's frown eased, and Beautiful Eyes shone with a strange light.

"Brother, didn't you think that guy ignoring everyone just now was super cool?"

"Hiss—"

Listening to the initial part, Ah Yin somewhat agreed; after all, a sycophant is just backup material.

But hearing what followed and seeing his little sister's moonstruck expression, he was at a loss for words.

He now had reason to suspect that his sister had a serious masochistic streak!

Happy even after being rejected??

Was it his sister who had a problem or was it he, Ah Yin, who didn't understand women?

Seeing that everyone around her had only minor injuries, Huo Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, big brother, you can stand now so it's not too serious. Gather the other teammates and take care of the teacher, I still have something to do," she said.

Ah Yin grimaced, "We should be heading home, what else do you have to do?"

"Guess?"

Huo Wu blinked her Beautiful Eyes and said earnestly:

"As long as there are no big issues, you are still my good big brother."

"So how long should I wait for you then?" Ah Yin asked.

Huo Wu shook her head without hesitation, "Don't wait, just head home. I'm not sure how long I'm going to stay here."

"Huh?" Ah Yin's face filled with question marks.

Huo Wu pondered for a moment, her cheeks flushing slightly.

"Um, brother, tell dad when you get home," she said.

"He can start preparing my dowry."

"???"

Ah Yin's pupils dilated.

What was she planning to do?

Was that guy not content with just giving him a beating but also planning to elope with his sister?

And as if eloping wasn't enough, was he also aiming to split their family's assets in the future?

Dammit!

Ah Yin's mentality collapsed.

"Stop asking so many questions, your sister is going after her love now," she said.

"Anyone who tries to stop me is my enemy."

With a determined look in her eyes, Huo Wu quickly turned around, jumped off the platform, and left.

Ah Yin watched as his sister, caught up in her emotions, swiftly left the area.

He clutched his chest, feeling wave after wave of tightness.

He profoundly understood what it meant for a girl to grow up and become unretainable.

His sister used to be so proud, never acting like this before. What had happened to her?

Was it just because that guy was a bit handsome, had a slightly better temperament, and was a bit more able to fight?

What else was there?

The stubborn look on Ah Yin's face didn't last three seconds before a pained expression overtook it.

Clenching his teeth, he complained sourly:

"Damn it, life's too unfair."

"Why does he have everything I don't?"

Ah Yin sorrowfully realized the only chance he had to surpass that man.

Was to buy a better wheelchair to sit in.

...

Meanwhile, in a room at the Rose Hotel.

Two stunningly similar, beautiful women were sitting cross-legged on a large bed, their eyes tightly closed.

One with an elegant and captivating figure, dressed in a blue and golden corseted long gown.

The other, unabashed and revealing her beautifully pale body.

Ah Yin was continuously absorbing energy from within the Yellow Soil, pouring it into her sister's body.

As the process neared its end, her sister's Cultivation Level was getting closer to one hundred thousand years.

Memories were rapidly returning.

On the other side, Luo Yu had just mentioned he was hungry, and then he was "kidnapped" under warm pretenses by the seven beauties of the Heavenly Water Girl Group to a restaurant.

Luo Yu was now sitting alone in a spacious private room of the restaurant.

Looking at the lavish decor and the huge mahogany round table in front of him, his gaze was puzzled.

Just a moment ago, Shui Yue'er and several other beauties brought him here.

Then, one by one, they left with poor excuses, saying they needed to step out for a bit.

He had no idea what they were up to.

Half a day passed, and no one came back...
