Chapter Nine: Formal Training Begins

"Don't move, just like this." Just as Li Yalin was about to turn around, Xiao Tong suddenly hugged him tightly, resting her head gently on his shoulder, quietly feeling the faint warmth generated by the embrace in the cool night breeze.

"You're such a fool," Xiao Tong murmured softly in Li Yalin's ear. Ever since Li Yalin rushed out of the coffee shop, every move of his had been observed by Xiao Tong. The two hours of searching had deeply touched Xiao Tong. Until now, seeing Li Yalin, who was almost out of energy, still preparing to find her, Xiao Tong couldn't help it anymore. She couldn't resist her feelings. She wanted to see him, she wanted to be with him. These thoughts had filled Xiao Tong's mind and couldn't be dispersed.

"A fool? We're both fools. Actually, you misunderstood just now. I and Sister Xiaolei are just..." Li Yalin chuckled self-deprecatingly. He felt he should explain, but before he could finish his words, Xiao Tong spoke up first.

"I know, I know everything. Actually, I figured it out after rushing out of the coffee shop. Even if there's a bit of ambiguity between you and Sister Xiaolei, it couldn't possibly be to such an extent." Turning Li Yalin's body around, Xiao Tong's gaze met his directly. Indeed, in her calmness, Xiao Tong simply didn't believe that Li Yalin would do anything inappropriate with her elder sister. Even if both had feelings, Sister Xiaolei wouldn't express them so obviously. After all, their sisters' mission wasn't over yet.

"What do you mean there's a bit of ambiguity between me and Sister Xiaolei? There's nothing between us!" Li Yalin looked at Xiao Tong helplessly. He wanted to say, "Miss Xiaotong, are you overthinking things a bit too much?"

"Humph! I'd sooner believe in ghosts than believe you." Xiao Tong rolled her eyes, gently pushed Li Yalin away, and turned to walk alone on the small path beside the street. Seeing this scene, Li Yalin naturally hurried to catch up.

"Hey, I'm telling you the truth, I really have nothing with Sister Xiaolei." Li Yalin's expression was very innocent.

"Tch, fool." Xiao Tong smiled and tapped Li Yalin's forehead. This action was exactly the same as Sister Xiaolei's. But then, Xiao Tong unexpectedly took the initiative to link arms with Li Yalin, which surprised him greatly.

"Xiao Tong, you..."

"What are you looking at? Let's go home!" Xiao Tong gave Li Yalin a white eye, and thus, she walked with Li Yalin, like an intimate couple, towards the direction of the Cat's Eye Coffee Shop. On the dim street, the dim street lamps elongated their figures, until they gradually merged together...

After this incident, the relationship between Li Yalin and Xiao Tong improved significantly. Xiao Lei was quite happy about it. Seeing her younger sister's lifelong matters settled, she believed their parents in heaven could be comforted. As for the tiny bit of affection she harbored for Li Yalin, she decided to let it gradually fade away.

On this Sunday, Li Yalin and Xiaolei were taken to a famous international club. To Li Yalin's surprise, the basement here turned out to be a large firearms training center, and it was completely deserted.

"Sister Xiaolei, what's this?" Li Yalin looked at Xiaolei in astonishment. Although he knew that the backgrounds of the three sisters of the next life were quite wealthy, seeing this scene still felt shocking.

Rows of various firearms hung on the wall, and the floor was littered with various ammunition. With so many weapons and ammunition, they could engage in a small-scale skirmish. It should be noted that firearms management in Japan was very strict, and it wasn't easy to obtain so many good things.

"Now let me teach you all about firearms knowledge and shooting skills." At this moment, Xiaolei, dressed in professional shooting training attire, wearing yellow specialized shooting glasses, and with her long hair tied into a ponytail, looked very heroic.

"Sister Xiaolei, you're going to teach us?" Lei was incredulous. After spending so much time together, it was the first time she had heard that Xiaolei could do this.

"Of course, Sister Xiaolei can do anything." Li Yalin smiled and patted Lei's little head, and also complimented Lei. After all, she was the coach.

"Hehe, even if you say nice things, Yalin, I won't go easy on you." Lei giggled, picking up a semi-automatic pistol from the table and starting the first day of firearms training.

Li Yalin was naturally excited about firearms and shooting, but Lei found it somewhat challenging. After all, she was a wind ability user, and the attributes she had improved in the game of becoming a god were also ability-based. Her ** attributes hadn't improved at all. Even though Lei was healthy, she might not be able to continue such high-intensity firearms training continuously.

After a day's work, Li Yalin felt a bit overwhelmed. How many bullets had he fired from his hands? He couldn't remember anymore, at least hundreds if not thousands.

As for Lei, she was even worse off. After firing just five magazines from the pistol, Lei, feeling sore all over, suddenly felt she should leave this place of right and wrong. She would be better off training her abilities properly. Firearms and the like were really not suitable for her.

As for the training and improvement of various abilities, Academy City had a very mature theory. Although Lei hadn't been trained, she still knew the basics, so her training was quite methodical.

Li Yalin fully agreed with Lei's thoughts. He couldn't force a thirteen-year-old girl to shoot and fight with people. That would make him seem like a failure as a man.

While there was still time, Li Yalin absorbed knowledge like a withered sponge, desperately absorbing the moisture from the ocean of knowledge. As long as it was useful to him, he wanted to absorb it all.

Seeing Li Yalin's efforts, Lei couldn't help but nod secretly. He was truly a talent that could be nurtured. He trained very hard and was quite intelligent. If he continued like this, he would surely succeed one day. But this was also what Lei wanted to see. After all, Lei was also a woman who wanted a man's shoulder to rely on.

As for Xiaotong, watching Li Yalin train diligently every day made her heart ache. But apart from replenishing Li Yalin's nutrition every day and occasionally cooking something special for him, Xiaotong really had no other way.

As for Xiaoxin, well, this playful and lovely girl recently found a common language with Li Yalin, which was cats. Every time Li Yalin finished training, she would cling to him and chat with him. Of course, the content was all about cats. This made Xiaotong both angry and helpless. Who made her his younger sister?
