Chapter 91: Chapter 24 The Bet

"I just want to ask you one thing. Why are you always picking on me?" This was Gu Xiaoxi’s biggest question.

This person was a bit bizarre, picking on her for no apparent reason since their first encounter.

"Have I? It’s just that I’ve long admired your reputation and wanted to exchange some pointers with you," Zhang Jingyue’s gentle face gradually turned cold, "Little freak, do you dare?"

Especially the words ’little freak’ were bitten off with particular emphasis.

Gu Xiaoxi could smell jealousy oozing from inside her. She put down her training weapon and knapsack, then wiped the sweat from her forehead with a light laugh, "Just right, I also want to see how strong you really are. Let’s have a one-on-one exchange! Let’s see if you’re really as weak as they say!"

Zhang Jingyue’s face changed drastically at once, she had indeed lost to Gu Xiaoxi many times before.

It was quite an embarrassment.

Zhang Jingyue also put down her weapon, and the two immediately assumed their positions, facing off against each other.

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly smirked, her eyes challenging as she looked at Zhang Jingyue, the smile at her lips wicked, "How about this! Let’s add a bet. Whoever loses washes the winner’s clothes for a week."

"Are you sure you want to bet?" Zhang Jingyue’s gentle eyes flashed a chill, giving off a spine-tingling sensation.

"Of course! Since you’re so keen on fighting me. There should be some benefit to it, I’m so tired today. How could I win without a perk?" Gu Xiaoxi’s skin was fair, and she tilted her delicate face up, her short hair looking particularly dashing in the sunlight.

What puzzled Zhang Jingyue was, after such a long period of training, she had gotten tanned while Gu Xiaoxi’s skin not only hadn’t darkened but seemed even whiter.

"Fine! Since you’re so eager to wash my clothes. I’ll let you do it," Zhang Jingyue clenched her fingers, her knuckles cracking loudly.

Gu Xiaoxi took the opportunity to strike first.

But her physical strength was exhausted.

Her combat techniques had structure, but not much power.

Zhang Jingyue curved her lips into a smile, having blocked Gu Xiaoxi’s two moves, she had nearly figured out her repertoire. It seemed Gu Xiaoxi was truly drained.

Only then did she start her counterattack.

Gu Xiaoxi began to retreat step by step, her strength fading, taking several kicks, and eventually was punched in the chest by Zhang Jingyue and fell to the ground.

Zhang Jingyue arched her eyebrows, a cold sneer on her lips, "Looks like you’re set to wash my clothes!"

Gu Xiaoxi lay on the ground, patting her chest, gasping deeply, a sly glint in her eyes like a cunning fox.

But she had to admit, Zhang Jingyue had conserved her strength well during the extreme cross-country earlier in order to teach her a lesson. Each punch, each kick was full of energy, truly overwhelming her depleted state.

However, she had never admitted defeat before.

Zhang Jingyue wanted her to wash her clothes? That was a joke!

Gu Xiaoxi gripped the pebbles in her hand tightly. Seeing Zhang Jingyue was about to attack her again, it was clear that those two punches and kicks weren’t enough for her.

Was this her way of seeking revenge?

Gu Xiaoxi snorted coldly, her fingers clasping four pebbles, targeting Zhang Jingyue’s knee, elbow, cervical spine, and forehead.

She hadn’t taken those punches and kicks for nothing earlier. At the least, she had figured out the pattern in her opponent’s techniques.

As Zhang Jingyue attacked, Gu Xiaoxi immediately rolled away and fired the pebbles from her hand.

Zhang Jingyue used her fist and was hit by a pebble on the elbow. She kicked her leg and was struck on the knee. Tilting her head, she was hit on the cervical spine, and on her next attack, a pebble struck her forehead.

The next second, Zhang Jingyue felt her whole body go weak and collapsed to her knees on the ground.

Gu Xiaoxi, on the other hand, dusted off her hands and walked over calmly, taking a seat in front of her. She looked at the kneeling figure and said with a beaming smile, "Even if you kneel, you still have to wash my clothes for a week."

Zhang Jingyue’s heart was in turmoil, unable to believe that Gu Xiaoxi had turned the tables just like that!

Throwing pebbles... what kind of move was that?

While Gu Xiaoxi simply scoffed, considering herself lenient for just using pebbles when she was drained today. She could’ve taken Zhang Jingyue’s life with a single leaf.

A few pebbles were enough to bring her down!
