1173 Watching the Battle 1 (1/2)

Kong Family Villa

Garen sat next to Kong Xinxue on the sofa, surfing through the television channels disinterestedly. He did not turn on the sound, however, and just kept on switching channels aimlessly.

”You jumped into it so quickly? The rhythm of the Plot, I mean?” Kong Xinxue wore white silk socks, her legs pressed together as she sat on the sofa, a dark green student dress obscuring her thighs. Although her eyes were trained on the television, her attention was clearly on Garen.

”They were the ones who came to me first, it's not like I could have just chased them away, right?” said Garen nonchalantly. ”Besides, if we follow the Plot you guys gave me, it's not as though you and I don't know what Vulture's aim is.”

”True. It's just that this way, you have no choice but to enter their line of sight ahead of time. You sure you can deal with them?” Kong Xinxue frowned.

”I can probably handle the first five, but I've never met the last two or Slayer, so I don't know about them,” said Garen simply.

”You sure? Just so you know, I can barely protect myself, all I know are some basic martial arts. They're fine for dealing with regular people, but they're nothing in the face of those half-machinized monsters.” Kong Xinxue sighed. ”Hey.” She poked Garen with her foot.

”When the time comes, you better protect me.”

”Don't you have Yuria and the rest?” Garen did not take that to heart at all.

”Savior is still just a rookie, I'd be better off putting my trust in you over them. Just be honest! Will you or won't you!?” said Kong Xinxue unhappily. ”Although the Plot says that I'll just end up kidnapped, and nothing worse than that will happen, this feeling still sucks. I don't like placing my safety in the hands of those green-horned brats.”

”If you already know that everything will turn out nicely in the end, why did you come to me anyway?” Garen was exasperated.

”Are you a man or not!” Kong Xinxue used every woman's favorite killer move.

”No.” Garen averted his gaze. ”I'm a boy.”

”Don't try to be smart with me! Just tell me straight, will you or won't you!” Kong Xinxue was annoyed now. ”If you won't, I'll go look for Nine-Tailed Fox and the rest! Although I don't like her, she's still my friend, and I'm sure she'll help me with such a trivial matter.”

”Fine, fine…” Garen turned his face around. ”But you have to promise that you won't stray further than twenty meters away from me, or else I can't guarantee that you won't be dragged away.”

”Relax.” Kong Xinxue silently heaved a sigh of relief. ”I'll move into your room tonight itself!”

”...” By now Garen had already noticed that Kong Xinxue was actually a very well-disguised brother-lover. She looked stern and distant to outsiders, but when they were at home, she was particularly fond of getting touchy-feely with her own younger brother.

”Forget it, no matter what, this body still belongs to your younger brother, it's related to you by blood,” said Garen helplessly.

”Even if I sleep on your bed, would you dare touch me?” challenged Kong Xinxue. ”I haven't found any other man as utterly harmless to women as you, pretty sure you're the only one.”

”Could you stop trying to rile me up all the time?” Garen was annoyed now, what did she mean by utterly harmless to women? This was an insult to his character that was already beginning to involve his views on life and personal sense of value. No man would be able to take that lying down.

”Although reality is cruel, you can't deny that it's the truth.” Kong Xinxue gave him another taunting look.

”Then what kind of man do you think is potentially harmful?” Garen gave her a sideways look. ”Someone like this?”

Whoomph.

He suddenly reached out his hand and caught Kong Xinxue's perky breast precisely. His fingers sank deep into the flesh, his grip exceptionally steady.

Kong Xinxue instantly flushed red. Her body immediately tensed up. Although she had been challenging Garen this whole time, she only ever treated it as a joke, a way to release stress. Ever since she realized that Garen liked to do things by the books, she had slowly begun to lower her guard around him. That was why it never occurred to her that he might make a move like that.

But now, she looked down at the large hand on her chest. It had almost sunk completely inside, with nothing but the dark green school uniform standing between his hand and her skin.

His fingers were even starting to pinch and knead shamelessly. Waves of soft numbness began to surge up from her chest.

”You-- That's enough!!!” She raised her hand abruptly, slapping Garen's left cheek with all her force.

Smack!

Garen caught her upraised hand.

”Alright, enough with the joking.” Garen pulled his other hand away from her chest, and said lazily, ”Looks like you're all big talk, when in truth you're still a virgin.”

”What do you mean, virgin!!” Kong Xinxue was instantly enraged. ”You insolent brat, you don't know how much more experience I have compared to you! Back when I was asexually reproducing, you were still in some cranny somewhere sucking on your pacifier!”

Garen watched Kong Xinxue throw her tantrum lazily, and just kept nodding.

”I know, I know… I get it, you're very experienced…”

As he droned on, Kong Xinxue suddenly fell silent. She was all in a tizzy just a moment ago, but now she was unnaturally quiet.

”What's the matter?” Garen glanced at her, confused.

Psst!!

A glint of cold light flashed past his eyes, stabbing straight for his throat.

”What are you doing!!” Garen was completely shocked, and quickly shirked backward, avoiding the cold light.

”I'll kill you!” Kong Xinxue was expressionless, pouncing at him with a pen in hand. The sharp tip of the pen kept aiming for Garen's vital spots.

Although this body of Garen's was a lot stronger in physical fitness now, it was still a mortal's body after all. It could not yet withstand the stab of a fountain pen, and it would definitely get injured if that pen scratched him.

The two of them decided to wrestle it out on the couch.

The final victory was overwhelming.

Garen pinned down her waist and arms with one hand. Her back was pressed against him as she lay face-up on his body, and she could only struggle with her legs as he had managed to suppress the rest of her body with his immense power.

”Let go of me!”

”Stay still, why don't you.” Garen kept Kong Xinxue locked in place with one arm, and yawned.

”Let go!!” Kong Xinxue was still putting up a struggle, but the result was clear to see. Garen's strength was at least twice that of a normal adult man, and she had a snowball's chance in hell in the face of such strength.
