7 Swift revenge. (2/2)
But just as her right foot made contact with his leg, it actually slid unnaturally to the right. Mei Kongxu's eyes instantly shot open but it was already too late, her right leg slid to the right and then rose up as if Li Yang had kicked it out from underneath her. Her entire body followed the leg and started suddenly spinning in the air as if she was doing cartwheels while stuck in place.
Li Yang sprung up from the ground while still carrying his smirk, stretching his arm towards the helplessly spinning Mei Kongxu. But she wasn't completely defenceless, she used her own law of twisting to resist the spinning of her body, twisting the air around her to neutralize the spinning. But the moment she managed to neutralize her spinning, her body actually started to spin in the opposite direction at an even faster pace.
Li Yang looked as if he had expected this turn of events, his hand placing itself in the path of Mei Kongxu's buttocks. She spun right into it, Li Yang bending his wrist to deliver a sharp slap to her rump, the crisp sound practically music to his ears as a satisfied grin appeared on his face.
”Yup, I really do feel better after getting some revenge. Well, my instincts tell me that things are about to go really south, but I still think I'm gonna call it worth.”
Li Yang felt a sharp pain in his hand just as he finished his words, the skin all over his hand getting pinched as it felt like even his blood and bones were starting to twist. The pain spread up his entire arm and then to the rest of his body, his feet losing contact with the ground as he was flung backwards while spinning uncontrollably.
He reversed his own gravity to make himself as light as possible, even twisting it in a circular manner to halt his uncontrollable spinning. But Mei Kongxu had unleashed so much force that he couldn't fully halt himself and he ended up crashing into the small stone wall that separated the stage from the first row of the seating area.
His body made a few cracks in the wall before he slid down to the ground, jumping up with a slight grimace while shaking his limbs to dispel the remaining ache. His gaze landed on Mei Kongxu, who had finally managed to stop herself from spinning and had returned to the ground, a faint blush that Li Yang had to admit was adorable covering her cheeks. But while the blush occupied a bit of his attention, most of his focus lingered on the thing he could see behind her.
He swore that he could see the faintest mirage of a small star hanging above her and a bit to the right, blinking in and out of existence as if it was a trick of his eyes. Mei Kongxu sucked in a deep breath, the blinking star vanishing as she turned her gaze onto Li Yang, a faint bit of admiration appearing in her disinterested and slightly embarrassed eyes.
”You copied me? You created a circular pattern of both reversed and increased gravity to force my body to spin, and the moment I used my own law of twisting to negate this field, you simply reversed its direction. I did not expect that, not at all, that's clever, really clever. Now I'm even more interested in see...”
Her eyes flashed with a bit of brightness as she spread her legs in a battle-ready stance, but Li Yang actually cut off her words by raising his hand as if he was telling her to wait.
”Ah, no need to bother, I surrender. I got my revenge, and it felt quite sweet and firm if I might add, so there's no need to continue fighting. We'll call the bet your win, I get the feeling you'll just challenge me every chance you get and keep beating me down, and I don't think my extremely fragile pride can handle that. It's a shame, but I fear that I must comply with your request and take you out on a date. Really, what a shame that I couldn't make you comply with my request for a date.”
This time it wasn't just Mei Kongxu, the entire stadium felt like cursing Li Yang by calling him shameless. There wasn't an ounce of seriousness on his body as he spoke, he clearly didn't care one whit about getting beaten down and just wanted to irk Mei Kongxu.
And as he looked at her slightly cramped expression that looked as if she was unsatisfied that she didn't get to keep going, he knew that he had succeeded. He stopped shaking his limbs and brushed off the dust on his body, giving Mei Kongxu an overly exaggerated bow while stretching out his hand.
”Now then, Fairy Sister Kongxu, please allow this adonis to escort you around as promised. Of course, if you would like to return the spank I gave you then you are free to come whenever, I just fear that my buttocks won't feel even half as good as yours.”
The spectators once again felt like cursing Li Yang's shamelessness, Mei Kongxu sucking in a breath and heavily rolling her eyes. Her expression returned to normal as she did her best to ignore Li Yang's teasing, calmly walking over to him and using her hand to gesture for him to take the lead.
