Chapter 320: 94. "Spencer Punishment Plan

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"

"Sister Tong, do you know a legend from Dragon Country?"

On a Wednesday evening, in the VIP gym of the South District, Yan Huan was drenched in sweat, running shirtless on the treadmill.

While sprinting at full speed on the treadmill with precise movements, Yan Huan gasped and spoke,

"It is said that Immortal Master Erlang’s Howling Celestial Dog descended to the mortal realm on its own to create chaos... Heaven... sent Lv Dongbin with the magic treasure, ’Cloth Painting,’ to subdue the Howling Celestial Dog...

"Huff... After the Celestial Dog was trapped within the magic treasure... Huff... Lv Dongbin pitied the poor creature, fearing it might turn to ash inside the magic treasure...

"So, he secretly set the Howling Celestial Dog free... Unexpectedly, upon its release, the Celestial Dog failed to recognize the good deed... Huff... and bit the very Lv Dongbin who released it.

"This is the origin of the saying ’A dog bites Lv Dongbin, unable to recognize a good heart.’"

Behind him, Tong Yingying wore a sporty outfit and sneered in response,

"I get it, you’re hinting at me, right?"

Yan Huan shook his head, saying,

"I didn’t imply Sister Tong is a dog. I just think that Li Ge and I were trying to help you improve your tavern’s business out of good intentions, but you’re still angry. You’re hitting me so hard in tonight’s training...

"Isn’t that a bit like biting the hand that feeds, failing to recognize good..."

Before Yan Huan could finish his sentence, a whooshing sound rushed from behind and slammed into the ground with a "smack."

Looking back, he saw Tong Yingying sneering, holding a soft whip in her hand, her fierce gaze scanning his back as if looking for a spot to strike,

"What kind of gratitude? Say a bit more, and see if I don’t whip your butt good with this whip."

"...Why do I feel like Sister Tong, you are playing with a ’translator accent’ joke?"

Whether it was because he was running too fast today or fearing Tong Yingying would actually whip him, Yan Huan promptly pressed the treadmill stop button.

Stepping off the machine, he took a deep breath of cool air and propped himself up on his knees,

"I can’t do this, I’m definitely not up for it today... I need a break, a cease-fire."

"Tsk, look at you..."

Tong Yingying pursed her lips, leaning towards Yan Huan, and used the rolled up soft whip to lift his chin, saying,

"Your enthusiasm for exercise is commendable, deserving of praise. Just don’t overtrain those muscles; you need to build both strength and stamina. Otherwise, you’ll end up looking as ugly as a bullfrog."

"..."

Yan Huan lifted his gaze to look at Tong Yingying standing above him with the whip in her hand; the intensity of her scrutinizing eyes seemed quite fervent.

"Buzz~"

Just as Yan Huan focused on her unfamiliar "Wing Pendant" she was wearing today, Tong Yingying’s phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

She immediately withdrew the whip, didn’t pull out the phone, but glanced at the time,

"Alright, good progress today. Let’s call it a day; I’ve got some business, so I’ll head off first."

"...Sister Tong, you’re not going to go chop someone down later, are you?"

Tong Yingying waved her hand without responding and just held the soft whip as she walked out of the gym.

Through the glass door, Yan Huan saw her step out of the gym before she took out her phone and answered the call.

"..."

After a moment of silence, a very cute black cat mysteriously appeared on Yan Huan’s shoulder.

"It could be my imagination, but it seems like this Tong Yingying enjoys seeing you suffer, meow."

"It’s just our way of joking around, she wasn’t really angry just now. Sister Tong is usually quite nice to me."

That was the truth.

But that wasn’t what Miao meant.

It turned its head to glance at the direction where Tong Yingying left, not continuing the topic, just sitting on Yan Huan’s shoulder as they headed to the gym’s showers.

The VIP gym’s showers were empty, except for Yan Huan and Miao.

"Trickle, trickle~"

Soon, the sound of substantial steam emerged from one of the stalls.

Miao sat obediently outside the curtain, conversing with Yan Huan in his mind,

"So far, we’ve only found four modifiers, meow. The fifth one has yet to appear."

"Are you really sure there are five modifiers, Miao?"

Miao nodded assertively, saying,

"These modifiers broke through the exterior of our world and entered here, leaving behind five holes upon their invasion.

"Three of equal size, one exceptionally large, and one exceptionally small. And, modifier fragments left by the impact at each hole are also different.

"That’s why I am certain that there were five modifiers invading our world."

Inside, Yan Huan paused while lathering shampoo, mumbling to himself and coming to a conclusion,

"Five holes, three of equal size, one exceptionally large, one exceptionally small... Does that mean these modifiers have different strengths?"

"It seems so, meow. The one that made the largest hole barely dropped any fragments, whereas the one with the smallest hole dropped a lot of fragments."

Showering, Yan Huan pictured the scene Miao described and quickly realized a question, turning his head to ask,

"Wait a second, where did all those dropped fragments go? Did you hoard them?"

Miao "meowed" innocently, explaining,

"They were used to make your modifier, those fragments were the raw materials.

"Although I’ve done my best to modify it, it still displays characteristics similar to those modifiers."

As the water from the shower head rinsed the lather from Yan Huan’s hair, he opened his eyes and spoke skeptically,

"The similar characteristics you mention, they wouldn’t be the reason I keep pulling out trash all the time, would they?"
