Chapter 850: The Tyrant and the Monkey
"Really not going to do anything about it?"
In the cafeteria, Jiang Er asked with some concern.
"No need." Lin Qiye said with a smile while eating. "It's just a small friction. Even if Lu Baoyou can't control himself, Fang Mo knows the轻重. They won't be able to fight in the classroom."
As he finished speaking, Cupid's divine power fluctuation emanated from the distant teaching building.
"Besides, there's also Li Zhenzhen here. Even if those two really start fighting, as long as Zhenzhen shoots an arrow, they'll immediately hold hands and skip happily to the playground for a walk."
Jialan imagined the scene in her mind and burst out laughing. "Zhenzhen's ability is unexpectedly useful..."
"A pair of sworn enemies who can't stand each other, plus a Li Zhenzhen who can make them fall in love at any moment—this combo is quite interesting." An Qingyu rubbed her chin with her hand, smiling.
"Zhenzhen's God's Ruins, though not very strong in combat, after all represents the God of Love." Jiang Er sighed. "The power of love, not to be underestimated."
"The God of Love, huh..."
Jialan turned to look in the direction where Li Zhenzhen was, as if thinking of something, her eyes gradually lighting up!
"You all eat, I should go teach the new recruits." An Qingyu checked the time, stood up from her seat, waved at everyone, and walked straight toward the teaching building.
Immediately after, Lin Qiye also stood up.
"My spiritual power is somewhat depleted today. I'm going back to rest for a while. You all rest early too."
After finishing his words, Lin Qiye's figure flickered and vanished on the spot.
"Tsk, everyone runs off so fast, the dishes aren't even finished yet." Baili Pangpang held a basin of spicy crayfish, nibbling happily. "Lan Jie, we can eat slowly... Lan Jie?"
Jialan's body trembled as she silently slipped away from the dining table toward the teaching building.
"Lan Jie, where are you going?"
"Oh, I'm just taking a stroll around. You all eat slowly."
Jialan's cheeks seemed slightly flushed. She turned back to answer, then quickly ran out of the cafeteria and disappeared.
"...How strange." Baili Pangpang shrugged.
...
Asylum of the Gods.
"Director Li, hello."
"Director Li, hello."
"Director Li, you've arrived?"
Li Yifei carried his small stool unhurriedly into the kitchen. The staff members busy inside the kitchen saw him and politely nodded in greeting.
"Mm, has A Zhu not returned yet?"
"No, the Director was called away by the Dean and hasn't been back for several days."
"The kitchen department's work can't slacken just because she's not here~" Li Yifei glanced around the kitchen, speaking with earnest sincerity. "How's the quality of that new batch of cucumbers?"
"Not bad, want to try one?"
A smile curled at Li Yifei's lips. He walked straight to the table, casually picked up a cucumber from the cutting board, and was about to leave when he thought better of it and grabbed two more, stuffing them into his clothes.
"Cook well. I'm going somewhere else to play... No, I mean, I'm going somewhere else to make my rounds."
"Director Li, take care."
Li Yifei, carrying his stool and holding three cucumbers, leisurely walked to the steps by the corridor, where Merlin and Bragi were each sitting on rocking chairs, swaying gently while watching the courtyard.
"Merlin uncle, Brother Bu, have a cucumber!"
Li Yifei cheerfully handed the two extra cucumbers to Merlin and Bragi, then set down his small stool and sat beside them.
"Little Li, so relaxed lately?" Merlin took the cucumber, giving Li Yifei a kind smile.
"Yeah, Merlin uncle. The kitchen department and household affairs department have both been requisitioned by the Dean. All sorts of messy affairs have decreased. I can finally enjoy a few days of peace." Li Yifei smiled.
He turned to look at the courtyard, took a bite of cucumber, and asked curiously while chewing:
"How's the score between these two today?"
"The monkey has won 32, the tyrant has won 30." Bragi spoke leisurely. "This round just started, so the outcome is still uncertain..."
Inside the courtyard.
A golden figure draped in a kasaya and a figure shrouded in purple light collided rapidly.
Sun Wukong's eyes blazed with fury. With each movement, his kasaya crackled and snapped. Fists, feet, elbows, knees, tail... every part of his body had evolved into an extremely terrifying weapon, his moves fierce and lethal.
Gilgamesh's gaze was coldly proud. His form drifted like wind-blown leaves, evading nimbly. His palms struck precisely at the weak points of each of Sun Wukong's attacks, breaking every move with counter-moves. Though seemingly at a disadvantage, he advanced strategically, harboring lethal intent beneath.
There was no divine power fluctuation, no ability manifestation—only afterimages from their exchanges scattered through the wind. This was the most simple, pure collision of physical combat techniques. Eastern and Western mythological martial arts were displayed to perfection through these two different individuals.
With Bragi's passionate accompaniment, the entire courtyard had become their battle stage.
"Thank Merlin uncle for setting down some ground rules with them, otherwise if these two used their divine powers, this mental hospital would've been demolished god knows how many times." Li Yifei couldn't help but exclaim. "And us weak orderlies, most likely we'd be too scared to go outside every day."
Merlin smiled faintly. "Rest assured, even if both of them returned to their peak states and fought however they wanted, this hospital wouldn't be destroyed. Its strength far exceeds your imagination..."
Currently in this mental hospital, Gilgamesh was the most severely ill patient. Combined with his absurd behavior, he could already be called the hospital's bully who oppressed others.
Every time Gilgamesh went out for a stroll, he would hold his head high and give orders to the orderlies, even to Bragi and Merlin. But after professional training from Li Yifei and Hei Kong, these orderlies maintained strong professional ethics and didn't argue with this mental patient, Gilgamesh. Merlin and Bragi would just smile at most and wouldn't take it to heart.
However, not everyone would tolerate this bully's temperament.
A few times when Gilgamesh went out, he happened to encounter Sun Wukong drinking outside. The moment their eyes met, killing intent surged forth.
If their brief eye contact were translated into words, it would roughly be:
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking at you, what's the problem?"
"You trying to look at me again?"
"Try if you dare. Not satisfied? Fight me!"
Then the two would directly start brawling, fighting from the second floor of the hospital to the first floor, from the courtyard to the main entrance... fighting until the sky darkened and all was chaos.
At first, Merlin could rush out in time, using a silencing spell combo to directly shut them up, but later he discovered this was essentially useless.
Even with just a brief eye contact, these two could directly start fighting. Whether they could speak or not simply didn't matter!
