How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

It is clearly visible that it is the hunter's joy when chasing his prey.

Chapter 324: Perhaps, it’s time to find the answer

The reinforcements have not arrived yet, and the entire Gunma County has become an isolated city. There is no way out, and now everyone can rely on themselves.

Long Feng originally wanted to use the same trick again, but Zhou Xuan informed him that the army was about to set out. He no longer accepted a meaningless duel of personal bravery. If he wanted to buy time, he had only one last method left.

"Do you really want to go? You and I both know that you are probably the Hongmen Banquet set up by Zhou Xuan. If you really go, you may not have a good ending."

In the City Lord's Mansion, Katsuragi still wanted to try his best to do something else, preferably to dissuade this close friend from her thoughts and make her give up the plan of dying alone.

However, due to the situation and her firm determination, her answer remained unchanged.

"How could I not know the consequences? But do you think I really have a choice?"

"Zhou Xuan specifically asked me to go first. Now the enemy is strong and we are weak. How can we bargain?"

"I am a defeated general. If my life can bring temporary peace to the entire city, I am willing to do it."

"What's more, there are still some unfinished karma between him and me. Whether it's severing it or bearing it, I have to take on this hurdle."

Yes, it can only be her.

Zhou Xuan’s condition was that she would go to the appointment alone in exchange for three more days of peace in Gunma Prefecture.

The specific underlying motive is still unknown, but Long Feng can vaguely feel that perhaps this is the critical moment for them to make a break.

"Then there must be other ways, at least...at least wait a little longer..."

Still expressing her concern, Katsuragi still wanted to beg, but Longfeng had already walked out of the room before her and came out alone under the bright daylight.

"No, I've made up my mind. Thank you for taking care of me during this time, Katsuragi."

There was no room for maneuver and the matter was decided, although none of them were willing to accept such a sad fact.

After replying a letter to Zhou Xuan, Long Feng and his group began to prepare.

It was probably afternoon when she left the city gate and arrived at Zhou Xuan’s camp.

The sun was the warmest at this time, enough to spread its light to every corner of the world, but it was still unable to warm her cold heart.

Until she came in front of Zhou Xuan.

"You pointed out my name and asked me to come here. Now I am here. What is your purpose?"

It was an almost direct questioning, with every word carrying a strong resistance. For a moment, Zhou Xuan was a little confused.

"I think I've made it very clear to you in the letter. I just want to meet you."

"Don't be nervous or excited. You know me best. How could I have any bad intentions?"

Long Feng curled his lips, clearly looking disdainful.

But she did not dare to laugh out loud. After all, she had experienced all kinds of torture from Zhou Xuan, and compared to her previous heroic self, her personality had become much more restrained.

"So now that I've seen you, what's the next step?"

"What do you think?" Zhou Xuan kicked the ball back to her and said.

"You are a guest. You can give me your suggestions and I will consider the arrangements as appropriate."

This is rare. Providing options to weaker opponents is a rare thing in history.

But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that this was in line with Zhou Xuan's personality and was something he would do.

Anyway, he loves to do these tricks to win people's hearts, doesn't he?

Thinking of this, and the situation they were in now, the little bit of goodwill that had naturally accumulated due to the accident turned into an awkward resistance.

As if they were fighting, Long Fengzhen deliberately took it seriously and let his eyes look around the room.

And finally his gaze stopped at the two swords hanging crosswise on the wall of the tent, and he said.

"Fight me again, Zhou Xuan."

"This is the last time. I will use the sword to test my conscience. I hope I can get a result in the end."

Zhou Xuan seldom does meaningless things, including the layout of his personal room, which all have their own meanings.

Now that she had taken the initiative to bring up the idea of ​​sparring with him and using the sword to test one's conscience, he agreed without a second thought.

Without giving much thought to the choice of venue, they hastily used the main tent of the central army as two temporary and final venues. A showdown was about to begin.

It can be seen that Long Feng really wanted to win last time. In order to win back a point from Zhou Xuan, she even used her ship equipment, not caring about whether the victory was unfair.

There is a gap between ship girls and mortals that is difficult to cross in everyone's eyes, and the difference is huge.

The result was indeed just as it was. Strength can defeat skill. Facing Long Feng's full strength attack, Zhou Xuan naturally did not dare to take it head-on.

Avoiding her sharp edge, he kept looking for the weaknesses exposed by her aggressive attacks while maneuvering, and counterattacked.

"I know that you have a power that can control others. In this situation, don't you plan to use it?"

"If I really had the heart, I would have cut you in two."

Zhou Xuan handled the situation with ease, distanced himself from Long Feng and smiled at him.

"You are a person who focuses on results and refuses to give up easily. If I really use it, will you still be willing?"

"You will then feel that I have bewitched you in secret, causing your personality to become unpredictable and your moves to become chaotic."

"In this case, wouldn't I be the scapegoat? So, I never planned to use my own ability from the beginning."

"Ha, how shameless!" Putting away other unnecessary expressions, Longfeng's attack came again.

Perhaps her fighting spirit was ignited, so this time her attacks were much more fierce than before, like a violent storm, but her moves avoided vital points.

This made Zhou Xuan intentionally think of what she had just said, and he joked further.

"I thought you would seize this crucial opportunity, but I didn't expect you to do this."

"In this case, can I understand that... you still have some feelings for me?"

"Shut up! Pay attention!" Long Feng was unwilling to admit it and tried to distract Zhou Xuan's thoughts with a more fierce attack.

The only thing he forgot was that a chaotic mind would lead to a chaotic sword. The so-called fierce moves seemed nothing more than meaningless chops and swings in Zhou Xuan's eyes.

Not only did it have no substantive significance, but he also seized her weakness and broke through her hands that were holding the knife handle, and knocked her sword away.

"Hmm...did I lose again?" Everything happened so fast, almost in a flash. Long Feng looked at his empty hands, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"But I...even used my true strength. Why..."

Long Feng couldn't figure it out, and Zhou Xuan had no choice. For some things, he could only guide her and wait for her to figure it out.

"The real power is not the so-called divine power, but your own heart."

"I would like to ask Long Feng, how long has it been since you tried to face your own heart? Perhaps, you should find the answer."

Chapter 325: The Person I Saw

Looking for the answer? To be honest, Long Feng had no idea for the time being.

Because of the fierce competition, she was still panting. It took her a long time to finally calm down her heaving chest and find peace.

Thinking about it carefully, what Zhou Xuan said is right.

Ever since she vaguely felt that she had strange feelings for Zhou Xuan, she no longer dared to look directly into her own heart.

This is still the case to this day.

Is it because of never facing up to one's own heart that this failure has led to?

Long Feng was still unclear, and Zhou Xuan had no intention of leaving her time to think deeply about it.

He suddenly came over, put his arm around her shoulders, and then pressed his body against hers, getting very close.

"You...what are you doing? I don't remember being so close to you. Let go!"

To be honest, sometimes Long Feng felt that Zhou Xuan was a person who was very easy to guess, but sometimes he did not play by the rules.

For example, at that moment, she said this and didn't expect Zhou Xuan to fulfill her wish, but she didn't expect that Zhou Xuan would really let her go.

She was so carefree and unrestrained that all of a sudden she fell from the supported position at the beginning to a dog-crawling position, which was really embarrassing.

And she finally found out why Zhou Xuan attacked her. It turned out that after the intense catharsis, her body had no strength left and she couldn't even stand up.

If Zhou Xuan chose to do something to clear up the confusion for her at this time, she would probably be powerless to fight back, right?

How did you get it...

Suddenly, Long Feng felt his heart beating faster and faster. He couldn't tell whether it was out of fear or anticipation.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Xuan squatted down considerately, his sincere eyes always observing her condition, but he refused to lend a helping hand.

Until she completely faced the reality and said that hesitantly.

"Please help me, Zhou Xuan... Thank you."

This was the sentence Zhou Xuan was waiting for. To a certain extent, it was her surrender and a change in her thinking.

He immediately took action and lifted her up from the indecent situation. He put his big hand through the girl's snow-white neck, and the two of them were arm in arm again, leaning against each other tightly.

"This sparring session took nearly an hour, and it's almost evening. I think you're hungry, so why don't you take a rest first and then have a meal together."

"I'll take you back tomorrow morning."

Fortunately, after a great battle, she was indeed out of strength. When faced with questions that were inconvenient or difficult to answer, she pretended to be weak.

He sat quietly on the main throne that symbolized his status, squinted his eyes and looked at him so close in front of him, responding with silence.

Zhou Xuan was very considerate and immediately went to make arrangements. After a short while, a table of dishes was delivered to the tent where the two were, emitting a strong aroma.

coo coo coo....

The sound came before the person arrived. Hearing the sad sound coming from someone's stomach, Zhou Xuan, who was still fiddling with the dishes, turned his head back and said with a smile.

"Come and eat if you are hungry, or do you need me to serve you because you haven't recovered your strength yet?"

Long Feng shook her head without saying a word. When she recovered, she had the energy to maintain her clear attitude of "you are you and I am me".

It does seem like they have turned their backs on each other, but from Zhou Xuan's point of view, it is precisely because of the personal characteristics of the dragon and the phoenix that Zhou Xuan has the idea of ​​planning everything.

He was not angry, but stretched out his hand and kept trying to win her over.

"Come on, come on. Now that we're all ready, you should at least eat something, right?"

"Even if not for me, you should at least think about your companions, Long Feng, you don't want all your efforts today to go to waste, right?"

There was a clear implication in his words. Long Feng could of course hear that he was smiling but had a dagger hidden behind his smile. He clenched his teeth and slowly walked down from the throne.

"I will definitely repay you for your kindness today!"

It was just a forced excuse to save face, Zhou Xuan didn't take it seriously. He looked at Long Feng approaching step by step, put his arm around her shoulders, helped her to sit down, and enjoyed the meal with her.

As the dinner progressed, she finally came to her senses and understood Zhou Xuan's intention.

"So... this is your ultimate goal? To be honest, it really took a lot of effort."

"What virtue and ability do I have to deserve your careful treatment?"

"I've always wanted to sit down with you like this and have a good chat calmly, and now it's finally done."

“Peace is great, isn’t it?”

"But now it is you who are provoking the war, Zhou Xuan." Listening carefully, Long Feng thought he had grasped the weakness and immediately refuted.

Her eyes were shining with determination. For the first time, she put aside her hostility and prejudice and stared at him straight. From a personal perspective alone, she seemed to be persuading him to turn back.

Unexpectedly, she was standing in the wrong position, and she was the one who was really stubborn.

"No, we are just doing what we should do and what we think is right."

"Heh, who knows." Long Feng sneered, and suddenly changed back from the bright and selfless image just now to the enemy Long Feng.

As the old saying goes, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. Similarly, Zhou Xuan didn't want to argue with her about this issue.

He just asked tentatively, focusing on reality and the present.

"So, did you get an accurate answer to your so-called questioning of the heart with the sword? What is the answer?"

Long Feng paused, lowered his head from time to time, stared at him from time to time, as if brewing something, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth to speak.

"I don't know if you have given me any psychological hints, which has caused me to be anxious all day long, and there is always a shadow in my heart."
