Chapter 86: Love's Iron Fist
Zhong Yingxue covered her face!
She never expected that Xia Yao would even use her half-beast transformation just to win against Jiangnan?
Isn't this bullying an honest man?
Jiangnan's face was deadly serious!
He wasn't doing it for anything else!
Just to fulfill his dream of touching a beast-eared girl's tail.
A man, for the sake of his dreams,
could unleash infinite power!
Xia Yao's half-beast transformation!
Her physical abilities were全面提升, and her speed even reached a level that Jiangnan couldn't clearly perceive.
[Added 1000 skill points!]
[Skill Achievement! Hand-to-Hand Combat (Intermediate): LV0!]
For the sake of touching that tail!
Jiangnan was going all out, pouring all his remaining skill points into it.
Even so, Xia Yao still put considerable pressure on Jiangnan.
Zhong Yingxue watched intently from the side.
But as she observed Jiangnan's movements and techniques, she was completely stunned!
Jiangnan seemed to know the future.
Just from Xia Yao's starting moves, he could predict the direction of her attack.
Then he would dodge gracefully! He even casually rubbed Xia Yao's furry wolf ears a couple of times.
"Ahh! I'm going to blacken your other eye too!"
"Hehe! Come on~ come on~"
Zhong Yingxue smiled wryly: "Can you not be so mischievous?"
But the techniques Jiangnan displayed next were downright terrifying!
Facing Xia Yao's attack, Jiangnan didn't dodge at all!
Instead, following her momentum, he directly flung her away!
Deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces!
His movements seemed to blend ancient martial arts, street fighting, MMA, and Muay Thai—his techniques were ever-changing!
Like an antelope hanging its horns—
unpredictable! Impossible to trace!
Yet as effortless and carefree as a grandmaster!
Zhong Yingxue was completely captivated, unwilling to look away for even a moment!
How could Jiangnan have such skill?
How old was he?
Just how many surprises did Jiangnan have to give her?
No one knew how long passed!
Xia Yao was already drenched in fragrant sweat, breathing heavily.
Glistening drops of sweat trickled down her cheeks, and her silver hair became damp.
From start to finish, aside from the initial hit on Jiangnan's eye socket, she had never touched him again!
She probably wouldn't be able to touch him even if they fought until tomorrow morning...
She couldn't help but say angrily: "I'm not fighting anymore! You can touch it!"
With that, she turned around and brought her tail right in front of Jiangnan.
Jiangnan looked at that silver, fluffy tail and couldn't help swallowing.
"I... I'm really going to touch it now, oh!"
Xia Yao rolled her eyes: "Oh, just touch it if I said you could. A bet is a bet!"
But she turned her head and said: "But after you touch it, you have to take responsibility! I want to learn your close-combat techniques!"
Zhong Yingxue quickly added: "I want to learn too!"
Jiangnan patted his chest: "Easy!"
Staring at the white wolf tail before him, Jiangnan had an expression of pure bliss!
A beast-eared girl?
This was his ultimate dream, damn it!
He never thought it would be right in front of him!
For a moment, Jiangnan was at a loss.
But Xia Yao grew impatient and said crossly: "Oh! Just touch it already! It's so embarrassing!"
At this moment, Xia Yao's pretty face was flushed crimson as she urged him.
Jiangnan took a deep breath, placed his hand on the tail, and began stroking it.
Wow! So soft!
Wow! Fluffy and so comfortable!
Wow! Wolf tail is amazing!
Xia Yao frowned, her whole body bristling, her face red all the way to her ears!
Jiangnan: ???
It was just touching her tail—why such a huge reaction?
Now Jiangnan was curious: where exactly did the beast-transformed tail grow from?
Was it an extension of the tailbone?
While stroking the tail, Jiangnan began to ponder!
Then his expression turned serious!
"Let me see what the principle behind this tail is!"
With that, he lifted the wolf tail and tried to flip it up!
Xia Yao: !!!
"How dare you!"
She immediately deactivated her beast transformation, her face burning bright red!
She raised her little fist and punched straight at Jiangnan's other eye!
Jiangnan's eyes widened. Oh? Trying a sneak attack?
Instinctively, he opened a Space Wormhole right in front of his eye!
Xia Yao's little fist slammed into it, then came out from the other side—
and hit her own eye socket, which immediately turned black and blue!
Xia Yao: ???
"Aaahhh~ Xiao Nan! I'll strangle you!"
She lunged at Jiangnan like a hungry wolf.
Jiangnan looked guilty: "Ahem... I'm going to set up my stall!"
With a flash of teleportation, he vanished.
Xia Yao turned back, looking pitifully at Zhong Yingxue.
"Xuexue! Is my eye socket black or not?"
Zhong Yingxue covered her face: "Pfft~ Not very black."
Xia Yao: !!!
"Damn it! Xiao Nan, you just wait for me!"
...
"Hey, Big Guy! I'm going to set up the stall. Come over—let's meet at the University City."
"Got it, Brother Nan! On my way!"
Wu Liang was also a bit surprised. Jiangnan was setting up a stall—why was he calling him?
The two met up at University City.
Wu Liang looked at Jiangnan's black-and-blue eye socket, utterly shocked.
"What happened, Brother Nan? Who gave you that shiner?"
Jiangnan laughed bitterly: "Domestic violence! Domestic violence, man!"
But hey, he got to touch the tail, so he didn't lose out!
The only problem was he didn't dare go home right now.
Otherwise, he'd definitely be bitten to death by that fierce dog Xia Yao.
But that didn't stop Jiangnan from making money.
Calling Wu Liang over—Jiangnan had his own purpose.
That night, the University City night market's foot traffic tripled!
It was packed shoulder to shoulder, all because of Jiangnan.
As soon as the two appeared, the entire University City night market erupted.
"Holy crap! It's Nan Shen! How did his eye socket get all bruised?"
"Quick! Make way for him! Everyone's been waiting!"
"So what if his eye socket is black? It still can't hide Nan Shen's handsome face! I absolutely love him!"
"Mmm~ I don't know why, but seeing that just feels satisfying!"
Jiangnan: ???
Can we stop talking about the eye socket?
This is Love's Iron Fist, you know?
As soon as Jiangnan arrived, the originally crowded crowd instantly parted to make a path.
Straight to his stall. Quite a few streamers had already set up their phone stands, ready to ride the hype.
Xu Yuan was the first among them.
Wu Liang was shocked!
Jiangnan's pulling power was terrifying!
This was just setting up a stall!
Are you sure this isn't some kind of cult?
The Vendor Cult?
Jiangnan spread out his stall cloth!
Pulled up his small stool!
All his products were online: Vitality Potion, Detoxifying Soybeans, Spirit Leeks, and Hulk Brand Shorts!
And the Spirit Leeks were tied into little heart shapes, hung on the bottlenecks of the Vitality Potions!
Bundle sales!
But the most eye-catching were the Hulk Brand Shorts!
The variety was complete, with so many styles!
Jiangnan yelled with full enthusiasm:
"Come one, come all! Brand new products just out of the oven!"
"Hulk Brand Shorts! Can't be worn through, can't be torn apart!"
"Your bro might betray you, your girlfriend might betray you!"
"But your shorts will never betray you!"
"Price: ten thousand each, oh!"
The crowd: ???
It's just a pair of shorts!
And he still managed to make it sound amazing!
What kind of wild, wolf-like words are these?
Does this guy have a never-ending stream of cheesy ads?
Ten thousand each?
That's a gold-plated pair of shorts, isn't it?
Can't be worn through? Can't be torn apart?
Saving them as a family heirloom or what?
