Chapter 348: Chapter 127 This Feud is Settled

On the evening before the grand competition began, the military from Xuan State prepared a lavish banquet.

First, to showcase the luxury and wealth of Xuan State. Second, to welcome the competing teams from all directions. Third, to host important commanders from various countries.

So that everyone could mingle and get to know each other.

Gu Xiaoxi wasn’t surprised to see many female soldiers at this gathering. They were also military personnel participating in the competition.

They were different from the female soldiers of Liuli Country.

They were tall, all around 1.8 meters, dressed in beautiful gowns and high heels, with long hair, pretty makeup, and perfume.

These female soldiers could be said to have grabbed everyone’s attention the moment they stepped in.

The men from foreign lands seemed to appreciate their kind of deep-set features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and distinct profiles, passionate and exuberant.

"This woman is even taller than I am. With high heels on, isn’t that a challenge to me?" Zhuang Xiaomeng felt instantly outdone. A sea of women stood at such terrifying altitudes, and the men’s heights went without saying, each one burly and strong as an ox.

Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao wore their characteristic camouflage, with insignias naturally identifying them as mere soldiers. The two women, just about 1.7 meters tall, compared with the beauties from the continental powers, seemed rather like delicate young ladies and thus less eye-catching.

The two found a corner to sit down and grabbed something to eat.

Quan Shaoqing was a commander, and he wasn’t in the same place as them soldiers.

He had been invited to a more upscale banquet hall, filled with commanders from all over the world.

There, Quan Shaoqing had been watching Danny Jay for a long time.

"Why does Young Master Quan keep staring at me?" Danny Jay approached Quan Shaoqing with a wine glass in hand and asked with a smile. Dressed in a blue military uniform and black boots, his tall stature and deep-set features made him look wildly imposing.

He always felt that Quan Shaoqing’s gaze bore ill intentions, so he came over to inquire.

"I’ve heard Mr. Danny has been granted a title, truly remarkable," Quan Shaoqing said coldly. Although the words were complimentary, there was no hint of flattery in his tone. His dark green military outfit, standing next to Danny Jay, wasn’t the least bit overshadowed by him.

Danny Jay didn’t take offense, just chuckled, "That’s nothing! The title is merely Mr. President’s recognition of my humble self, hardly worth mentioning!" Danny Jay displayed modesty and gentlemanly grace.

Quan Shaoqing’s mouth curled into a smile, and after a short chuckle, he said nothing more and turned to walk away.

This man was too good at pretending, harboring ill intentions yet still appearing elegant and composed. To those unaware, they might think he’s a pretty decent person.

Of course, Quan Shaoqing couldn’t view him favorably since he dared to covet his wife.

This might be described as, rivals in love, naturally hostile.

...

"Xuan State is truly different. No wonder it can hold such a grand military competition. There are many notable people at this banquet. Look over there, the contenders from D State, their lowest rank is lieutenant colonel. And there, Southern State Country, those thirteen men look as solid as a mountain, truly intimidating. I think it won’t be easy to score in this competition," Bai Yang sat down in front of Gu Xiaoxi, his feelings complicated.

Gu Xiaoxi was playing with her phone; after a moment, she put it down, looked towards the banquet hall indifferently, and said to Bai Yang, "There are indeed many formidable people. But those you mentioned aren’t to be feared. The real masters are always low-key. See the man sitting by the window opposite us, next to the gauze? A Special Ability User, rumored to turn stone into gold. And the slim man talking to the beautiful woman? He’s the captain of the Southern State team, a Sixth Order Magician. Don’t assume that only the muscular ones are strong. The masters are right beside you, and there are definitely more strong figures here than just these two. While you’re playing around here, I’ll go to the restroom. Be careful not to offend a master."

Gu Xiaoxi’s words startled everyone. They all turned to look at the two men, their gaze becoming cautious.

The ones being watched seemed to notice their stares, returned a cold look, and gave them a fierce, bloodthirsty glare...

The group was shaken to the core, now convinced of Gu Xiaoxi’s words. Master players are indeed not obvious.

Among the Liuli Country’s team, only Jing Haoran seemed to thrive in this kind of banquet, quickly befriending many influential figures.

In the restroom, Gu Xiaoxi encountered three female soldiers, the very same three who were not in military garb but instead dressed up elegantly.

When they looked at Gu Xiaoxi, contempt filled their eyes as they mocked her in their fluent dialect, "This person is so short and skinny, letting her compete. Is Liuli Country out of people?"

"Looks like it! Look at those men, not one looks strong. It’s true what they say: the land nurtures its people. Isn’t that common sense?" another woman giggled.

"Isn’t that better for us? If we can eliminate them early in the competition, our chances of winning are much higher."

"But their commander is quite good-looking, a bit like a mixed-breed, as handsome as God Nikola. Too bad, the soldiers he brought are doomed to be eliminated by him."

"Bang!" Just at that moment, the door of the bathroom behind them made a noise.

The three women immediately fell silent and turned their heads to look back.

They saw the woman they had just been mocking walking out of the bathroom and then heading straight to the Liuli platform in front of them, turning on the tap, bending down to wash her hands, and all the while not even glancing at them once.

Such bare contempt was like a slap in their faces.

Gu Xiaoxi flicked her jade-like fingertips, causing a few water droplets to be flicked back into the basin, before she gently smoothed her hair back from her forehead and turned to leave.

The three women were stunned by Gu Xiaoxi’s dismissive attitude.

Could they really have been discarded by the person they looked down upon the most, disregarded by her in return?

"Soldier, you stop right there!" Aili stepped forward, blocking Gu Xiaoxi’s path, and gave her a once-over. She couldn’t help but laugh disdainfully, "You bitch, that expression on your face is really annoying."

The other used colloquial speech, thinking Gu Xiaoxi wouldn’t understand.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaoxi stood there with an indifferent posture and asked in standard International, "Bitch, who are you calling that?"

"Calling you, of course?" Aili retorted with a look of arrogance, "Your expression is irritating us, and here today, if you apologize, we can live peacefully tonight."

Gu Xiaoxi simply shrugged her shoulders and broke out into a brilliant smile, "I’m quite magnanimous. Even if a bitch curses me, I won’t hold it against them. As for apologizing to you, what’s the reason for that?"

Her nonchalant words left the three women stunned momentarily. Then, with a delayed reaction, they grasped what she implied, the woman had actually turned the tables and insulted them.

Unknowingly, she had gained the upper hand in the verbal exchange.

At this point, the other two women also gathered around, annoyed, "You insulted us and disregarded us. It’s very unpleasant for us; you can choose not to apologize, but you will deal with the consequences."

Gu Xiaoxi clenched her fist, feeling that she had seen shameless people, but none as shameless as this.

Was it because they saw her alone and thought she was easy to bully, or did they think the citizens of Liuli Country were inferior to them and even easier to bully?

"I can also clearly tell you that from the start, I’ve been very annoyed by your words. I also demand an apology from you. If you refuse, you will bear the consequences!" Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her cold eyes, throwing their words right back at them.

This completely provocative act infuriated the other side.

Aili and her companion exchanged a glance and, almost without hesitation, clenched their fists and struck at Gu Xiaoxi’s face.

Gu Xiaoxi, already shorter than them, immediately ducked and then moved from beside them to their back. Her movement was as swift as a slippery eel.

Aili’s fist couldn’t stop in time and she hit her companion’s face, breaking her nose with the force of the impact because she was caught off guard.

Gu Xiaoxi, from start to finish, was like a spectator watching a play, never taking them seriously.

Furious, Aili didn’t hesitate and attacked Gu Xiaoxi again.

This time, she deployed her combat techniques.

Gu Xiaoxi let out a cold laugh, didn’t even bother to dodge, and stood there to face her moves. Just as her hand, which was like an eagle’s claw, was about to reach her throat,

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly raised her hand, grasped her wrist, and with a crisp "snap," Aili’s wrist was dislocated.

"Ah!" The next second, the woman screamed in agony, quickly retreating in pain.

Gu Xiaoxi gently wiped her fingers on her clothes, cast a glance at everyone, and let out a cold, disdainful laugh, "Mere brute strength without brains, a bunch of losers!"

Yes, losers! Defeated by a single move, Aili felt a sense of immense humiliation.

Now, not only were they humiliated, but their wrists were also dislocated, firmly fixing their grudge.
