My anime girlfriend has come into my life

After Belfast left, Li Chaoge pondered for a while, then looked down at Hu Tao in his arms, who was chattering with Kiana about what they liked to eat.

"Captain, why are you only asking about Walnut and not me?"

Before Hu Tao could speak, Kiana was already somewhat displeased.

What's wrong with the captain? Hu Tao asked her for so many things as soon as she arrived, even though she was the one who arrived first.

Will you teach me?

Li Chaoge countered with a question.

"Of course I know how! I definitely won't hold anything back!"

Kiana answered without hesitation.

"I mean... do you have your own training methods? I don't have Honkai energy, and I'm not a Herrscher. Do you know how to transform me from an ordinary person into someone who can fight Herrschers?"

Seeing that Kiana misunderstood him, Li Chaoge had no choice but to explain in detail.

He did consider finding Kiana, but Kiana mostly relies on brute force.

If he were to learn, he should learn the Taixu Sword Qi from Fu Hua, and it would be even better if he could wield the Taixu Sword God. However, he probably wouldn't succeed; an ordinary person who knows nothing can't compare to the exceptionally talented and brilliant Taixu Seven Swords.

Of course, he wasn't sure if he, as a man, could cultivate the Void Sword Qi, and even if he could defeat a Herrscher with just the Void Sword Qi.

However, he still has the Source Cube, right? The energy in the Source Cube should not only restore his condition, but also have other more useful uses.

"Uh, it seems...yes."

After Li Chaoge said that, Kiana realized what he meant and gave an awkward laugh.

Her method doesn't seem to be suitable for the captain. The captain's swordsmanship is already quite good; even Mei's Hokushin Ittō-ryū couldn't defeat the captain.

It's just that the captain's body can't withstand Honkai energy, otherwise the captain would probably be an extremely powerful person.

"It's not that I can't teach you my family's secret marksmanship, since you... already know it anyway."

Hu Tao shrugged indifferently, but as she spoke, she suddenly paused, staring intently at Li Chaoge.

How did Chaoge learn her family's marksmanship? Wasn't it her grandfather who taught her?

"What's wrong? When did I learn your family's marksmanship?"

Li Chaoge waved his hand in confusion in front of Hu Tao, who seemed to be lost in thought.

"It's nothing, I just think that instead of marksmanship, you should learn some basic hand-to-hand combat skills, Chaoge. There's no rush, so it's better to build a solid foundation so you don't just know how to use weapons and end up having to run away if you lose them."

Hu Tao snapped out of her daze and looked at Li Chaoge with a grin on her face again.

"Hey, what kind of talk is that? Do you think I'm guaranteed to have my weapon knocked out? Hu Tao, you think you can fight with your fists and feet without a gun?"

“How can that be the same? We spend a lot of energy just practicing one weapon or our own martial arts.” Hu Tao looked at Li Chaoge with a grin. “Chaoge, do you really think you can only learn one weapon?”

"Hmm... I really want to learn all of them."

Li Chaoge did not deny it. Although being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none is a problem, he has so many choices that he naturally wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket.

Whether it's for personal interest or for the potential for greater power, I definitely have to give it a try.

“That makes sense.” Hu Tao shrugged. “It’s said that Inazuma’s naginata technique, swordsmanship, and forging skills were basically passed down from Raijin. Learning martial arts from Raijin is indeed a good choice. At least Raijin’s techniques and experience are very rich, far better than mine.”

"With Thor's personal guidance and hands-on instruction, Chaoge, you can walk sideways from now on."

Hu Tao is usually a bit unreliable, but she is quite dependable when it comes to important matters. She believes that her family's marksmanship is indeed quite good, but there is a problem with having her teach Chao Ge, as she might easily teach Chao Ge incorrectly.

As an ordinary person who knows nothing, Chaoge should first have someone skilled help him lay a solid foundation.

"Can't I walk sideways now?"

Hearing Hu Tao's exaggerated description, Li Chaoge curled his lip.

"That's true. I heard about your romantic escapades when I was in Liyue. Ayaka, Kujo, and Yae, the Sea Goddess of the Coral Palace. Tsk tsk, even without counting the Thunder God, you've wiped out the entire Inazuma faction."

Hu Tao chuckled. Not to mention that Chaoge has Thor as a powerful backer in Inazuma, even in Liyue, Chaoge has a bunch of people protecting him.

"hehe."

Kiana chuckled without saying a word, but silently took Li Chaoge's hand, which was resting on her thigh, and squeezed it gently.

"Hu Tao, don't talk nonsense. I think you might have misunderstood."

Feeling Kiana's soft, white hands lovingly massaging him, Li Chaoge was speechless.

Let's not bring up things that everyone already knows; it'll only make things awkward for both of us.

As a traveler from Mondstadt and Liyue, is it wrong for him to have some interaction with the young lady of the Kamisato family?

As a fugitive wanted by the Eye Hunt Order, it's quite normal for him to have some connection with Kokoro Kokoro, the strategist of the Inazuma Resistance Army.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, his relationship with Ray Movie was quite good, and it wouldn't be wrong for him to have some interactions with Kujo Sara, right?

This is all normal interaction, Hu Tao, how can you be so prejudiced!

"Thor is real, right? I saw Thor sitting in the pavilion when I was moving things before, and the name of the Thor movie is also in the group chat."

Hu Tao seemed to see through Li Chaoge's inner explanation, and looked at Li Chaoge and Kiana who was silently pinching Li Chaoge with a smile.

Although she could tell that Kiana wasn't using much force, she was mainly there to watch the spectacle and see how Kiana would react to these situations.

However, before Hu Tao could see Kiana's reaction, a questioning voice came from behind her.

What are you talking about?

"How did you suddenly appear?!"

Hu Tao was startled and quickly turned her head to look at the purple-haired woman who had suddenly appeared on top of her.

A kimono, braided hair, an indifferent expression—how did General Thunder suddenly end up behind her?!

"Belfa said dinner would be served soon, so I came over."

Lei Yingdian glanced at Hu Tao, who was reacting strangely, with a puzzled look, and then looked at Li Chaoge.

"Chaoge, do you want me to teach you martial arts?"

She had overheard their conversation, but she still wanted to confirm it again.

"Okay, is that alright?"

"Why not give it a try now?"

Seeing Li Chaoge nod, Lei Yingdong's eyes lit up. He stared intently at Li Chaoge and reached out to pull her to the courtyard to practice.

Wow... Ying's enthusiasm is a bit high, she seems even more proactive than him.

Li Chaoge, who was pulled away by Lei Yingdian, suddenly felt something was wrong when she saw a hint of excitement on Lei Yingdian's cold face.

Chapter 172. Just help me up, no need for a princess carry.

"Did you see it clearly?"

"Uh, I saw it clearly, but I didn't understand it."

"Let's start with the basics and build a solid foundation before moving on to the next step."

Lei Yingdian excitedly pulled Li Chaoge into the courtyard, but now the one circling beside him and watching his posture was General Leidian.

General Thunder demonstrated a few moves that resembled ordinary attacks to Li Chaoge, and then had Li Chaoge start practicing the so-called basics, keeping a fixed posture still.

Hmm... This is a posture that looks like a horse stance, but it's a bit different.

"Hiss... This pose is so difficult, it feels so strenuous."

Li Chaoge persevered for a while until his legs began to tremble. He looked at the Thunder General circling in front of him and asked with difficulty.

He couldn't even last ten minutes. He felt like he couldn't keep going. He could run so many laps around Qingqiong Island with Mi Yu, and his body is much stronger than before. Yet he couldn't even last ten minutes.

What a basic move!

"Hang in there a little longer. Your body has great potential, but it hasn't been trained yet and needs to be honed."

General Thunder did not answer Li Chaoge's question, but continued to circle around him, occasionally raising his hand to touch him and adjust his posture.

"Let's see if you're still greedy. It's very difficult to have it all."

Hu Tao clapped his hands with a grin, gloating.

"Don't make sarcastic remarks from the sidelines. If I had the ability, of course I would want it all."

Seeing that Hu Tao seemed to be implying something, Li Chaoge immediately spoke up to defend himself.

It's not like a multiple-choice question; you can take as much as you know, and nobody would complain about knowing too much.

"Speak less, do more."

General Lei Dian reached out and adjusted Li Chaoge's posture, which was starting to become distorted. He glanced at Li Chaoge, who was still in the mood to flirt and bicker with Hu Tao, and said calmly.

"..." Li Chaoge shut his mouth and said no more, enduring the feeling that his calves had begun to tremble inexplicably. Could this posture be a very special technique? Why did he feel that his physical strength was being consumed so quickly? His muscles were already tired and wanted to give up after doing a simple movement.

Seeing this, Hu Tao stopped teasing Li Chaoge and watched with a smile. Kiana, unusually, did not join in the teasing and stared at Li Chaoge strangely while touching her chin.

Walnut, who just arrived, might not know the captain's physical capabilities, but she does know Kiana's; she wouldn't be so weak that her body couldn't handle even a simple movement.

She just tried it out herself. It's just about spreading your legs apart and adjusting your arms and hips. It's not a difficult move, and it's easy to stick to.

Given the captain's physical condition, it wouldn't be so easy for his legs to tremble and his body to break out in a sweat.

"Commander? What are you doing?"

At this moment, Heinrich Exusiai, Zhao, and Yingrui, who had finished moving the things, noticed the situation and rushed over.

"Learn how to fight; we're building the foundation now."

Li Chaoge's heart skipped a beat when he saw Exusiai, Heinrich, and the others. He knew these guys wouldn't stay still once they got here, but he couldn't stop immediately, so he could only pretend to be indifferent and reply.

"Learning to fight? Is there something going on?!"

Heinrich immediately became excited. Although she had met the commander here, the place was quiet and peaceful, and she felt completely free with no one around.

But she is, after all, a ship girl. With her lively and active personality, she has been here for a long time but has had little chance to go out to sea to fight. Besides, there are no Sirens in this world.

The sea area between Qingqiong Island and Luofu Cave in Chenge Pot is now open, but it's a dead sea with no waves at all, offering no excitement to Heinrich.

"Commander, don't you have us? Why do we need to learn this?"

Ying Rui, the quieter younger sister in the Zhaohe class, glanced at the indifferent-looking General Lei Dian. Could this woman be trying to send their commander to the battlefield?

They were always extremely worried whenever their commander went to the front lines, but if it came to the point where even the commander had to personally go into battle, then they wouldn't have to worry so much.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be for fighting; it can also be for physical fitness."

Li Chaoge gasped for breath, and after saying a sentence, he felt he couldn't hold on any longer. He quickly looked at General Lei Dian and asked, "How much longer?"

"Hold on for another ten minutes."

General Thunder glanced towards the kitchen; the food should be ready in ten minutes.

"Then I'll try to hold on a little longer."

Seeing that there were only ten minutes left, Li Chaoge gritted his teeth and persevered.

To be honest, he had just felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, and he spoke to General Thunder in the hopes that she would tell him it was over soon.

Now that he sees everyone watching him, he can't bring himself to say he wants to give up.

It's only ten minutes, nothing dangerous, I can just hang in there. However, what he was thinking was one thing, and what his body was reacting to was another. His legs, which had been straight, were really going weak, and he could no longer control his movements, and he might not be able to hold on at any moment.

"Hang in there."

While maintaining Li Chaoge's deformed posture with his hands, General Thunder looked at Li Chaoge, who was covered in sweat, and said softly.

Hei hope and Lilith kept glancing behind her, but neither of them said anything, just standing there facing each other.

"Go, Dad! Nine minutes and thirty seconds left!"

"Boss, you're the best!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Li Chaoge saw Sigma and Exusiai cheering him on, especially the adorable Sigma waving his little fist with a serious expression.

He simply didn't have the energy to think about anything else. Maintaining this position was too difficult; he was holding his breath and holding on. If he lost his breath because of something else, he would probably collapse immediately.

Because they were in the courtyard, there was no way to keep track of time with a clock. Only Sigma would occasionally remind Li Chaoge how much time was left, making Li Chaoge feel as if each second was an eternity.

The sweat on my forehead was so thick it couldn't all flow off, my eyelashes were so wet I couldn't open them, and my clothes were soaking wet and clinging to my body. A cool breeze would blow, and after a moment of comfort, I would feel uncomfortable again.

"You can rest now."

"call!"
