Chapter 55 Team Fight?!
Chapter 55 Team Fight?!
"There is a leaf on your head, my lady."
Hua Meili whose hair was suddenly touched looked at her usually smiling shadow in a daze, she just nods blankly and went back to eating her ice cream.
Du Hexi smiled and continued to pour drinks into the other members' cup as they enjoyed the picnic under the shade of the tree.
Team Meili had nothing better to do watched Team Jin practice.
The weather that day was cloudy and windy.
The sun was hiding behind the cloud as a strong gust of winds blow all over the land.
It was such a perfect day for some leisure picnic and skill practice.
Team Meili who had done nothing but laze around set up a picnic under the shade of the tree eating snacks and enjoying the beautiful scenery around the Mansion while watching the spar going on.
They eat and drink as they enjoy the time of their life.
Bogsh!
While on the other hand, Team Jin was having a hard time in their life.
Team Jin woke up at dawn and started running all around the Mansion for an hour. They did some warm-up and then started to spar.
Wanting to get stronger, they trained like they were set to die.
All of them had a goal in mind as they trained like crazy for the last few days while the other team leisurely watch them train like they were some fools.
Sometimes they could not help but wonder if they were the idiotic one or the other team.
Woosh!
"So, you're saying they are doing some practice?"
Hua Meili who was munching on a cookie looked at Jin Hua and then at his team who were fighting like their life depended on it.
Thinking about it, she had never let her subordinates spar with each other since they had been busy meditating.
But even though they never had the chance to fight against each other, they are doing well killing the Mutants.
As Hua Meili could see it, she rather they fight the Mutants than each other.
Remembering Zhongcheng Qingren blasting a Mutant's head off, Guo Zhongcheng who sliced a Mutant to shreds, and her butlers who decapitated almost all of the Mutants limbs off, she rather forgets about letting them fight each other.
"Yes. By letting them fight each other they could improve their abilities more. Speaking of which, I never saw your friends practice before."
Jin Hua eyed Hua Meili's group who were stuffing their faces with all the food they could put inside their mouth.
Despite how they look, Jin Hua would never believe that her team is full of weaklings.
Unlike the others who had no eye for Mount Tai, Jin Hua was different from them.
Even though they were just all playing around and lazing all day long like pigs in a pen waiting to be slaughtered, still, her group consisted of seasoned veterans pro at fighting.
If we were to put it simply, Team Meili is full of fighters while Team Jin is full of students.
The difference is just too large and too high, Jin Hua's group could just not hold a candle to them.
His group is filled with college students that had never participated in a ramble before.
All of them are good students in his eyes before the Apocalypse striked.
Though he is not looking down on them, he just could not help but want to compare and see if his guess was right.
Jin Hua wanted to know just how strong her group is and if they are what they show themselves to be.
He knew that Guo Zhongcheng and Zhongcheng Qingren had the skills so he wanted his team to learn from them.
Only by fighting the professionals can they grow more.
To polish their skills, they must first experience getting beaten up to sharpen.
Though they had experienced many fights and shenanigans on the way to the Mansion, it is still too early to call them pros.
Their skills and experience are still too lacking.
They were lucky that every time they got in trouble in the past there was always a way for them to escape without fighting.
But their luck would not always be there, it will run out someday.
So, before the luck runs out, they must polish their skills and sharpen themselves to be a weapon that no one would so easily offend.
"You never saw them practice because you were always out touring within the City almost every day."
"Lady, tea?"
Hua Meili took the cup of tea Du Hexi was holding in front of her and took a sip from it. Her expression could only be said in one word, blissful.
"I wonder how strong they are?"
Jin Hua looked at her team with interest.
"Hmm... Just average."
Hearing what she said, the others lamented.
They know how strong she is so there is nothing to complain about. Comparing themselves to her was like comparing heaven and earth.
There were no words to describe how they feel about being powerless but this did not put them down. Never did her words did.
They seek improvement and she was just saying what she can see in them for now.
Hua Meili was not arrogant but had real skills.
Even if she is, she had the skills to back her up.
They vowed deep within their heart and soul that they will one day become stronger, strong enough that she won't just call their abilities average.
"Average? So, are they strong or not?"
Jin Hua raised his eyebrows.
He had never expected that she would say such a word against her team. He wondered what made her think so.
Team Jin who had long finished practicing had long ago started eavesdropping on the two sibling's conversation.
They were also very interested to know just how strong the people in her group are.
They know that Hua Meili's group consisted of seasoned veterans who were skilled at fighting. They really wanted to compare notes with each other.
They wanted to see just how much they improved from the old them to the new them during these past few months.
"Sis Mei, tell us how strong they are!" Yu Feng persuaded.
"Are they stronger than us?" Yu Diqiu wondered.
"Wha! I want to challenge them!" Gao Hou excitedly said
"I wonder how strong they are?" Mingque Shui said while smiling.
"Hmp! They don't look that strong and the other one is only a normal human!" Lian Pian disdainfully said looking down on them.
In these past few days, she had never seen any of them fight or practice.
They were always cooped up inside the Mansion lazing around all day eating and drinking their life away.
Seeing such a bunch of no-good lazy people, she never had any good opinion of them and thinks that they are all too weak to go outside.
They felt disgusted after hearing what Lian Pian had said.
She did not even consider her own skills before she goes around mocking people around for being not good enough while she herself was not that good herself.
Lian Pian was after all the weakest member of Jin Hua's group.
She only got to join them because she was sensible enough to not bother anyone nor cry when seeing a Mutant at the first stage of their meeting.
But when they arrived at the Mansion, her brain seemed to have short-circuited and started spouting nonsense here and there for once in a while.
She was just too arrogant and self-centered for her own good.
"It's not my choice to decide. Ask them yourself."
Hua Meili wave her hand at her team and continue eating the snacks Mu Hexin made for her.
The ol' Lian Pian was long ago tossed aside from her brain, she did not care at all.
Lian Pian was of course all bark but no bite, she does not necessarily need to lift her hand to deal with her.
She will learn on her own when her good brothers teach her a good lesson.
"Oy. Fight me, redhead!"
Gao Hou challenge Zhongcheng Qingren with much enthusiasm while provoking the other party, which he successfully did.
"Who are you calling redhead and you're also a redhead?!" Zhongcheng Qingren said irritated.
"Of course, it's you, redhead!" Gao Hou retorted.
"Shut up monkey! I accept your challenge! Don't cry when I beat your ass later!"
Zhongcheng Qingren looked at Hua Meili asking for permission.
Seeing his enthusiasm, she nodded giving him permission to fight.
But also, giving him the order to fight moderately not using all his ability to show off.
Hua Meili refused to see Zhongcheng Qingren blast Gao Hou's head off.
"I want to challenge, Brother Gou!"
After careful thought, Yu Feng pointed at Guo Zhongcheng.
"I accept the challenge!"
Guo Zhongcheng excitedly accepted the challenge. He had never felt so excited before being asked to fight.
He also looked at Hua Meili asking for permission to fight the youth.
The same as the first, she gave him permission and rules the same as Zhongcheng Qingren.
Seeing him so enthusiastic while beaming happily, she just hopes that he won't get too excited on the stage and shred Yu Feng to pieces with his ability.
"I want to challenge the white-haired old man! He looks strong! Since Sis Mei always let him go with us, I guess his pretty strong!" Yu Diqiu said.
'He got good eyes. I just hope that he won't piss Hexi off or else he will be losing one or two of his limbs.'
"I accept the challenged and the name is Du Hexi, not white-haired old man." Du Hexi smiled politely as his eyes turned crescent.
"I want to challenge, Brother Mu. Are you okay with it?"
After looking between Mu Hexi and Pingjun Dao, Mingque Shui decided to challenge Mu Hexin who was serving tea.
Hua Meili almost had a heart attack when Mingque Shui chose Mu Hexin.
It would have been better if he just chose Pingjun Dao than her overly cold butler who sees people other than her as ants.
'Man, your sacrifices shall not be in vain!'
"I accept the challenge."
Mu Hexin who had no interest in the fight did not even spare Mingque Shui a glance before going back to pouring Hua Meili a cup of tea.
He only agreed because his Master's authority and ability are being challenged by some mere mortals.
He must prove his worth!
It would have been better if it was Lian Pian who would be facing Mu Hexin so she could get a taste of her own bitter medicine.
"Who am I going to challenge now? Everybody already challenged every available opponent!" Lian Pian pouted trying to act cute.
"There is still one remaining. There is still Dao." Hua Meili pointed out.
Everyone fixed their eyes on Pingjun Dao who was peacefully munching his cookies when he was suddenly tossed into the fire.
He looked at them with wide-open eyes, clearly nervous and full of disbelief.
Hiccup!
