Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

Learning is indeed more efficient when there are many people, and Wu Jialouluo quickly mastered some skills and began to take the initiative.

Meanwhile, after resting for a while and regaining some energy, Han Zhuli looked at Wu Jialouluo beside her, who had already mastered some techniques and started to help clean up. She couldn't help but rub her temples, then sighed heavily and continued to lie on the bed to recover her strength.

In the past, Han Zhuli would have offered some sharp criticism. But now her body was severely overdrawn, so she didn't say anything and just looked at her.

Although it sounds a bit strange...

Aside from her dark irises, Wu Jialuo perfectly embodies everyone's imagination of a vibrant high school girl from any angle, especially when she is quiet, she even exudes a Yamato Nadeshiko-like aura.

But now...

Watching Wu Jialouluo's focused actions and expressions as she tried to please Yuan Chen, and witnessing this lively girl become her partner, Han Zhuli unexpectedly felt a strange sense of joy.

The next morning, Yuan Chen also walked out of Han Zhuli's room.

As soon as he came out, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Turning his head, Yuan Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "Uh... Sister Chun-Li?"

"..." Chun-Li was silent for a moment, then paused, her face full of suspicion, and said, "You... came out of... Zhu-Li's room?"

Before Chunli could finish speaking, Wu Jialouluo came out of the room in her pajamas. Upon seeing Chunli, Wu Jialouluo winked and smiled, saying, "Good morning, Sister Chunli!"

Hearing Wu Jialouluo's energetic greeting, Chunli was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly relaxed a bit.

After all, Wu Jialuolu had only stayed here temporarily last night.

If Yuan Chen and Zhu Li had already shown some signs of something, then what actually happened might be hard to accept at first, but upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

Wu Jialouluo is different. No matter how outrageous Yuan Chen is in some aspects, he would never pull a newcomer along with Zhu Li right away.

Thinking about it, Chun-Li rubbed her temples and said, "So... what happened? Why is Garuda in Ju-Li's room?"

"Ah Chen treated Zhu Li's eyes, and I wanted to see, so I came." Hearing Chun Li's question, Wu Jialouluo said with a smile, "Then I played with Ah Chen for a while, and when I got tired, I just fell asleep~!"

Hearing Wu Jialouluo's words, Chunli breathed a sigh of relief, then rubbed her temples and said, "At your age, you should prioritize your studies and get some rest..."

After saying that, Chun-Li paused, straightened her expression, and added seriously, "Also, if anything really happens, remember to take safety precautions!"

Chun-Li originally didn't want to bring it up, but considering Yuan Chen and Wu Jialouluo, and that Han Zhuli was already an adult, especially Wu Jialouluo—although things had been normal lately—it was hard to forget the first time Wu Jialouluo met Yuan Chen…

After thinking about it, Chunli felt it would be better to tell them in advance.

Upon hearing Chun-Li's words, Wu Jialouluo blinked, recalling the scene from last night when Zhu Li's stomach swelled up from eating too much, and was eventually sealed with the Nen-Z belt. He nodded with a subtle expression and said:

"Ok."

Hearing Wu Jialouluo's answer, Chunli breathed a sigh of relief. She then glared fiercely at Yuan Chen, and as she went downstairs, she punched him hard in the chest, saying:

"You should say something like this before you do it, otherwise the girl's reputation will be ruined if word gets out!"

Yuan Chen simply blinked as he watched Chunli's retreating figure descend the stairs.

Meanwhile, watching Chunli's departing figure, Wu Jialoulu tilted her head, then looked at Yuan Chen beside her and said, "Achen, you actually like Sister Chunli too, don't you?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen nodded: "When I was still in Hong Kong, Chunli was with me, so of course I like her."

"Then we should eat it quickly." Hearing Yuan Chen's words, Wu Jialouluo nodded in agreement and said, "Sister Chunli obviously has a similar idea. If she has to wait too long or be placed too far back in the queue, she will definitely be unhappy."

"Makes sense."

Yuan Chen nodded in deep agreement, then looked at Wu Jialouluo beside him with surprise and said, "But speaking of which... why are you so concerned about this kind of thing?"

“It’s what I should do.” Wu Jialouluo replied with a smile, “Maintaining harmony in the family is also a wife’s duty!”

Yuan Chen remained silent, then asked suspiciously, "...It sounds more like the responsibilities of a legal wife?"

"Is that so?" Wu Jialouluo just tilted his head and smiled, without giving a direct answer.

Volume 1: Chapter 117 - Baki and Kozue

Although Yuan Chen sensed that Garuda's ambitions were grand, he didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he tidied up and took Zhu Li and the others downstairs for a meal.

After finishing his meal and resting for a while, Yuan Chen glanced at the time and then stood up, saying, "I'm going to school now."

"Be careful on the road~" Chunli, wearing an apron, nodded and said, "Remember to get along well with your classmates, so you don't get into another fight."

"Don't worry." This time, Yuan Chen's answer was quite polite.

But the main reason is that schools are indeed not suitable places for fighting... There are very few people like Baki who have already become the king of the underground fighting arena in high school.

Those who possess great strength and are still willing to go to school either yearn for a peaceful life or clearly separate fighting from life. Even if they crave battle, Yuan Chen hopes that both sides can fight when they can completely let go... Of course, Yuan Chen himself is equally open-minded no matter where he is.

On the street, standing with Baki at the intersection, looking at the surrounding environment, Kozue's face was also full of worry.

As mentioned before, although the promulgation of the Violent Magic and Violent Martial Arts, combined with the rapid development brought about by the Fighting World, has actually restored a considerable degree of peace to the old city area.

Unfortunately, prejudice is a huge obstacle in people's minds. At least in the eyes of most people today, the old city is still a chaotic and lawless place, the worst of the worst in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

As an ordinary person, Matsumoto Kozue was more or less affected by the related rumors. In the past, when she went to school, she would rather take a detour to avoid this place. If Baki hadn't said that a respectable senior had opened a shop here and that they were going to school together today, Kozue wouldn't have appeared here.

Even so, upon arriving here, Kozue instinctively leaned against Baki, her face full of worry as she said:

"Baki, is it really safe here? And your senior, does he really exist?"

"Don't worry, it's very safe here. My senior is a very reliable person; I can tell!" Hearing Kozue's question, Baki smiled broadly and said.

"And his cooking is absolutely delicious, you have to try it if you have the chance!"

"About food and stuff..." Upon hearing Baki's words, Kozue paused slightly, and just as she was about to say something, Baki patted Kozue on the shoulder and said:

"He's out! He's out! Look, that's senior Yuan Chen!"

Upon hearing this, Kozue also turned her gaze toward the direction Baki was pointing.

As he emerged from the roller shutter door of the Sakura family's old house, he saw Baki across the street and waved in greeting. Crossing the street, he glanced at the petite girl beside Baki and nodded in return.

With shoulder-length dark brown short hair, she wasn't particularly beautiful, but she exuded a girlish innocence. Without a doubt, this was Kibo Matsumoto Koe, who possessed the ability to defeat the Hanma aliens.

Now, Matsumoto Kozue, who had fought Baki for three days and three nights and become a true man, subconsciously shrank behind Baki after seeing Gentsu.

It's not fear, it's the instinctive reaction of a small animal when it suddenly encounters a large predator.

"Senior, this is the daughter of my landlord, and also my friend, Matsumoto Koe."

"Hello, senior..."

Matsumoto Koe looked at Yuan Chen somewhat timidly.

Meeting Yuan Chen's gaze, Baki scratched the back of his head and grinned somewhat embarrassedly.

The main reason is that when he said goodbye to Yuan Chen last time, Shao Jiang called him to say it was getting late and she had to close the shop. At that time, Yuan Chen and the others were joking that Shao Jiang was his girlfriend or something...

Although Baki felt the same way, he thought it was just that—a feeling. They were just classmates for now, and their relationship wasn't officially confirmed.

Upon hearing Baki's words, Genchen nodded to Kozue and said, "Nice to meet you."

"N-Nice to meet you!" Upon hearing Yuan Chen's greeting, Shao Jiang instinctively bowed deeply, secretly glancing at Yuan Chen as she looked up.

He was taller than she had imagined, wearing a white tank top, jeans, and a trench coat. His thick arms pushed up the trench coat, and his wrists, exposed by the cuffs, were covered with deep, murky B-grade scars. Although they were not very clear at first glance, having lived with Baki, Kozue had seen all kinds of scars of all shapes and sizes.

And the scars like these, the oldest ones faded to skin color while the newest ones still had a light pink tinge, are undoubtedly the scar forms that Kozue is most familiar with... and also the most common state on Baki's body.

Thinking this, a complex expression appeared on Koga's face. She glanced at the nearby street and then at the family restaurant behind her. Koga couldn't help but ask, "Um... are you really a restaurant owner? Or are you involved in yakuza?"

“Shoko…” Baki reminded him somewhat helplessly.

Clearly, Kozue had asked Baki similar questions several times before, but they were always put aside for various reasons.

"Don't worry," Yuan Chen said. "I do own a restaurant. I studied rehabilitation therapy in college. I'm just living here because it's convenient."

As he spoke, Yuan Chen took out his student ID.

After seeing the information on the student ID, Kozue breathed a sigh of relief, then said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, because Baki often encounters some things..."

"It's alright, I understand."

Seeing Shaojiang's nervous expression, Yuan Chen smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Just by looking at the scars on Baki's body, you can tell that he's definitely not a well-behaved guy. He must be fighting in all sorts of places, right? In comparison, seeing me like this makes you worry about Baki's safety. No wonder Baki is so shy every time he mentions you."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Shao Jiang was initially relieved by Yuan Chen's understanding, but upon hearing what followed, she immediately panicked:

"Huh? Baki has that? How come I didn't know..."

"Of course!"

Seeing Kozue's expression, Genji burst into laughter: "When I got your call that night, Baki was completely flustered, afraid that if he was even a step too slow when he got back, you would scold him!"

"Senior!!" Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Baki's face—

If this scene were broadcast to the underground fighting arena of Tokyo Dome, it would surely shock everyone, right? That young champion who never bowed his head or admitted defeat in the arena, no matter how strong the opponent, and who always managed to turn the tide of battle, was actually showing this expression of a young man and woman in love.

Hearing Yuan Chen say those shameful things, Baki instinctively wanted to stop him: "Senior, please don't say that..."

Ignoring Baki's attempt to stop him, Yuan Chen simply chuckled and said, "You hold a significant place in Baki's heart, just as Baki holds a significant place in yours..."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's sudden words, Kozue lowered her head in shame and said, "What do you mean by saying that Baki holds a place in my heart..."

Seeing Kozue's shy expression, Baki, who was initially feeling extremely embarrassed, was also slightly taken aback. He then scratched his face and stopped trying to stop Genji.

Yuan Chen calmly replied, "Because I'm worried that Baki might get hurt if he makes friends carelessly, even though I'm terrified of someone like me with all these scars, I still need to make sure I'm identified and what I do, and protect Baki's safety in my own way... Ah, you two, so you're already dating, aren't you?"

"No, I didn't!" ×2.

The two answered in unison, but then Baki and Kozue realized that something was wrong. They looked at each other and then looked at Yuan Chen together. Feeling the teasing in Yuan Chen's eyes, they lowered their heads, blushed, and scratched their heads in silence.

"You two young couple, you really are... young." Seeing their reactions, Yuan Chen shook his head with a sigh.

Just then, Chun-Li rolled up the shutter completely. She first saw that Yuan Chen was not there yet, and then she saw Baki and Kozue. She was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Is that Baki?"

"Ah! Good morning, Chun-Li!" Baki hurriedly greeted Chun-Li upon seeing her.

Baki noticed that Kozue didn't recognize Chunli, so he quickly explained, "This is Senior Yuan Chen's older sister. She's a police officer. You can just call her Chunli-nee."

"Oh...oh!...Good morning, Chun-Li! My name is Kozue!" Upon hearing Baki's words, Kozue belatedly nodded and then greeted Chun-Li.

"Oh, so this is Kozue!"

Upon hearing this, Chunli's eyes lit up. She then went to the pine tree and relaxed a lot, her student-like demeanor dissipating. She smiled and said, "Remember to come visit sometime. I'll have Yuanchen cook you something delicious!"

"Thank you, Chunli-jie..." Upon hearing Chunli's words, Shaojiang nodded, somewhat flattered.

Beautiful, gorgeous, and...seemingly quite powerful? More importantly, she's a police officer.

As an 'ordinary person,' Shaojiang suddenly felt that since she was living with Chunli, who seemed like a good woman, Yuanchen might also be a very good person.

But shortly after that, three girls walked out of the restaurant.

"I'm leaving too." Han Zhuli waved to Yuan Chen, then glanced at Baki and Kozue.

Kozue was alright; there weren't many signs of training on her body. However, when they looked at Baki, both Hanjuri and Garuda subconsciously narrowed their eyes.

They sensed an inexplicable threat from Baki.

Especially Han Zhuli—Garuda had been seen once before, but this was Han Zhuli's first time seeing Baki.

She hadn't paid much attention at first, but soon, as if sensing something, Han Zhuli subconsciously narrowed her eyes.

Wu Fengshui, upon seeing Baki, first thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh! Baki—right!"

"It's me!" Upon seeing the group, Baki thought for a moment and then said, "You must be from the Wu clan? But what are you doing at Yuan Chen's house?"

“She’s receiving physical therapy,” Yuan Chen replied simply, then looked at Han Zhuli and said, “Her name is Han Zhuli, she’s family. This one is called Baki, we both go to school in the Central School District, he’s my junior.”

"...Oh, I see. Hello."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's introduction and realizing that Baki was not an enemy, Han Zhuli nodded calmly and said, "Hello."

"Hello!" Baki nodded. Kozue also greeted him.

After a brief introduction, Yuan Chen looked at Han Zhuli curiously and asked, "Are you getting ready to set off?"

"Ah, what else? That guy Kim Ka-fan even made a video call..."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's question, Han Zhuli sighed, "I can only go to school... Fortunately, I know people now, so it's not too hard to accept."

As she said this, Han Zhuli also glanced at Wu Jialouluo beside her.

Garuda simply smiled and greeted Baki and Kozue.
