Chapter 37: Feng Qizhou’s Self-Inflicted Misery p2
The next morning, Feng Qizhou appeared in the arena and forcibly pulled Xue Yu into the medical room to feed her.
“I’m doing this for your own good. Don’t look so impatient. Everyone else is getting injections and taking medicine. If you don’t take anything, how can you compete with them?”
Xue Yu’s mouth was full, and she spoke unclearly. “I understand the logic. It’s just very strange.”
After she finished eating, she wiped her mouth and asked, “You gave it all to me. What about the child?”
Feng Qizhou slowly picked up a tissue and wiped the drool from his chest. “I thought about it. I’m not going to feed the child. I can’t get over that psychological hurdle.”
“Huh?”
Feng Qizhou was calm. “I still can’t accept feeding the child. Even squeezing it into a bottle is too strange. And I see that Xiaobei has been growing quite fast lately. She’s doing well with formula.”
“Then you still made me eat it?” Xue Yu clenched her fists. “Do you know how much damage you’ve done to my young mind these past few days!”
Feng Qizhou smiled, took her hand, and brought it to his mouth, biting her index finger. “I have no bottom line with you, but I can’t with the child. I can’t get over that psychological hurdle.”
Xue Yu: “You’re just deliberately tormenting me!”
Feng Qizhou reminded her, “Today is the individual competition. You can attack those male spiritual landscapes as much as you want. Don’t worry about causing phantom pregnancies. If things get out of hand, I’ll issue a certificate saying that the food in the cafeteria was contaminated, which caused them to vomit.”
Xue Yu: “Is that really okay?”
Feng Qizhou nodded. “It’s fine. Just unleash your full strength. Good luck.”
Xue Yu was full of ambition. “This time, I will definitely make a comeback!”
Feng Qizhou kissed the back of her hand. “My little Xue Yu has grown up. So good. I’m so relieved.”
Xue Yu left the medical room and entered the arena.
The individual competition was a draw for opponents.
Xue Yu was unlucky and drew the most difficult opponent in the first round, a fanatical conservative man who had undergone complete castration surgery, with his sexual organs completely removed.
His spirit body was a giant squid. This squid was over twenty meters long in the water, creepy and terrifying.
“You can call me Squid Man. Everyone calls me that.”
To be at ease in the water, the man had shaved his head and eyebrows and was wearing a very tight wetsuit, like a smooth fish.
“Xue Yu, I’m sorry. Your comeback journey is about to end here,” Squid Man chose a heavy sword, the body of which was as tall as him.
Xue Yu broke into a sweat.
The individual competition was to fight until the opponent could no longer summon their spirit body. And in the competition, you could also wantonly destroy the opponent’s spiritual landscape.
Xue Yu was very worried that Blueberry would not be able to hold on.
However, Blueberry was always fearless, coiling on Xue Yu’s shoulder and blowing bubbles: We are the best!
Squid Man laughed and was the first to jump into the water.
Zhou Siyan sent a message to Xue Yu: If you can’t do it, just admit defeat. This person has a bad character and often uses dirty tricks.
Xue Yu looked at the circle of people by the poolside and replied to Zhou Siyan: I’ll go down and try first. If I can’t do it, I’ll admit defeat.
Zhou Siyan: Okay.
In the water, Squid Man swung his heavy sword, trying to force Xue Yu into the underwater whirlpool.
Xue Yu went with the flow and entered the whirlpool, at the same time letting Blueberry lure the giant squid in.
She gripped the water-wave knife and quietly slashed at one of the giant squid’s tentacles.
Xue Yu relaxed, thinking to herself that she was just a small miner. At worst, she would just go back to mining if she lost.
Squid Man’s eyes were fierce as he rushed towards Xue Yu.
Xue Yu directed all her spiritual power to her speed. She dodged the attack at an extremely fast speed, went behind him, and chopped at Squid Man’s bald head with her palm.
She went all out with every strike, as if it were her last battle.
This palm strike stunned Squid Man.
Squid Man turned around. He could actually speak underwater and let out a contemptuous laugh. “As expected of a rookie. You used up all your spiritual power at the beginning. Are you not leaving yourself any room?”
Xue Yu had not yet evolved to the point where she could speak underwater.
She held the knife with both hands, very vigilant.
After a few rounds with Squid Man, Xue Yu’s stamina and spiritual power were completely depleted. It was just in time for the mid-game ceasefire. She rushed out of the water.
Panting, she got ashore and ran straight to Feng Qizhou. “Doctor, I’m injured. I need treatment!”
With that, she ran towards the medical room.
Feng Qizhou and Zhou Siyan exchanged a look, a hint of worry in their eyes. They then stood up and followed.
When Feng Qizhou also entered the medical room, Xue Yu was frantic. She locked the door herself and rushed to pull at Feng Qizhou’s collar.
“My energy is all gone. Give me a bite. I’ve already found Squid Man’s weakness. Give me some stamina, and I can definitely beat him!”
Feng Qizhou could barely withstand her ravenous eating and laughed. “The law of ‘it’s so good’ never fails.”
He patted her back. “There are so many people outside. We’re doing this here. Tsk, tsk, tsk… do you think Zhou Siyan knows how much fun we’re having?”
Xue Yu was like a hungry wolf snatching food. A few minutes later, she looked up, her eyes firm and righteous. “Thank you. This time, I will definitely bring honor to my ancestors!”
The combat alert bell rang outside. Xue Yu rushed out.
Feng Qizhou tidied his clothes and then returned to the viewing seats, sitting next to Zhou Siyan and crossing his legs with a calm expression.
Zhou Siyan asked, “What’s Xue Yu’s injury?”
Feng Qizhou smiled broadly. “No injury. She just asked me for a little encouragement.”
Zhou Siyan frowned, finding Feng Qizhou’s smile very annoying.
Xue Yu entered the water. She had discovered that because the giant squid was a mollusk and had no spine, Squid Man’s spine was very fragile. Even though he was very flexible in the water, the defense of his spine was still very poor.
If she attacked his spine, she might be able to win.
This time, Squid Man attacked Xue Yu’s spiritual landscape. He saw the reproduction tree.
Although he didn’t know what this reproduction tree was, he still wanted to destroy it without hesitation.
When the tree was attacked, Xue Yu heard a faint crying sound in her ears, like a child’s cry.
She had Blueberry return to her spiritual landscape and try to resist Squid Man’s invasion as much as possible.
She herself took the opportunity to grip the water-wave knife, go behind Squid Man, and deliver the most fatal blow to his spine with all her might.
Squid Man’s sturdy body instantly became like a leaking airbag. The muscles on his arms and back surged strangely, and his body instantly became soft.
Xue Yu took the opportunity to attack his spirit body, delivering several powerful punches to the giant squid.
Only when the giant squid automatically hid in its master’s spiritual landscape and could no longer come out did Xue Yu stop.
“I lost!” Squid Man roared.
Xue Yu swam out of the water. On the large screen on the shore, the column with her name turned golden, and 210 points were automatically added.
The few sisters who had teamed up with Xue Yu yesterday all ran over to congratulate her. “Xue Yu, you really won! You’re amazing.”
Xue Yu also smiled. “Luck, luck.”
She could choose to withdraw from the competition now. With the points she had accumulated, she could still get a small position.
She could also choose to continue competing. If she lost in the subsequent matches, a certain number of points would be deducted.
Xue Yu felt that she was still doing well. She suddenly found that combat was not that difficult.
She chose to continue competing and drew lots again. This time, she drew a female opponent.
The match was in an hour.
Xue Yu went to Feng Qizhou’s side, smiled mischievously, and beckoned to him, mouthing, “Come on, to the medical room.”
Feng Qizhou was in some discomfort. Xue Yu had bitten too hard just now, and it hurt every time he walked. He cleared his throat, stood up, and walked towards the medical room with his hands in his pockets, as if nothing was wrong.
Zhou Siyan’s sharp gaze followed him. He squinted, deep in thought.
Feng Qizhou entered the medical room. Xue Yu locked the door and walked towards him.
“Xue Yu, you have enough points now. Why don’t you stop here? You’re already very strong,” Feng Qizhou’s voice was tired and helpless.
Xue Yu pulled at his clothes. “I asked Ning Ting. My current points are only enough to be a security guard at Manster. I don’t want to be a security guard. I want to work harder and become a proper sailor who can go on field missions.”
“Hiss… be gentle,” Feng Qizhou frowned, leaning back, his hand covering his eyes. “Xue Yu, I admit defeat. I’m really going to be drained by you. Can you let me go?”
“No, I have to improve. I have to work hard to earn money for the baby’s formula!”
Xue Yu was eating ravenously, but she still had time to complain. “Why is there so little? It’s not enough for me to eat.”
By extracting spiritual power from Feng Qizhou, Xue Yu actually won this competition again!
The label of “successful comeback” was firmly attached to Xue Yu.
Xue Yu was also elated. Her combat skills were becoming more and more familiar. She couldn’t stop at all and chose to continue fighting.
In one morning, she had PK’d with four people and won all four matches.
During the breaks, Xue Yu would run to the medical room and beckon to Feng Qizhou. “Come on!”
Feng Qizhou was completely exhausted. Even taking medicine was useless.
Xue Yu was on a roll. “Why is there no more? How can I compete like this? They all have drugs to inject. If you don’t help me, I’ll definitely lose.”
Feng Qizhou was completely exhausted, his voice weak. “Xue Yu, you’re already very strong. You’ve already had a successful comeback. Can we stop here? I’m begging you.”
“No, I’ve worked so hard to get to this point. How can I give up just like that? As long as I participate in two more rounds, I can join the naval combat team.”
Xue Yu was relentless, a complete spoiled child.
“Little ancestor, please let me go,” Feng Qizhou said, collapsing on the sofa, his body completely limp.
Xue Yu looked up, aggrieved. “When I didn’t want to eat, you forced me to eat every day. Now that I want to eat, you won’t give it to me.”
Feng Qizhou fumbled in his pocket, took out a syringe, and gave himself a shot of a stimulating hormone. “I really owe you.”
In the afternoon, Xue Yu continued to compete.
During the breaks, she would look at Feng Qizhou expectantly. Feng Qizhou started to avoid her. He would quickly get up and say he had to go to the bathroom.
When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Xue Yu squatting outside, a bright smile on her face as she approached him. “Let’s go, let’s go! To the medical room! There’s no time!”
Feng Qizhou was like a walking corpse as she pulled him to the medical room.
He couldn’t take it anymore. While Xue Yu was fighting, he said to Zhou Siyan in a low voice, “I’m going back to take care of the child. I’ll take care of Xue Xiaohai too. You stay here and watch Xue Yu. You’d better persuade her not to continue.”
Zhou Siyan held a tablet and repeatedly replayed Xue Yu’s combat videos. “Her strength and spiritual power are improving very quickly. It’s not a problem for her to continue competing.”
“Whatever you want. I’m too lazy to watch the competition. I’m going back to take care of the child.”
Zhou Siyan found it very strange. Yesterday, it seemed like Xue Yu was avoiding Feng Qizhou.
Why was it that today, it was Feng Qizhou who was avoiding Xue Yu?
This morning, Feng Qizhou had even discussed with him about putting Xue Xiaobei and Xue Xiaohai together so that they could take turns going back to look after the children, so they could have more time to watch the competition.
Why was this person now willing to go back and look after the children instead of watching the competition?
Xue Yu won the competition again. When she came out of the water, she looked around but didn’t see Feng Qizhou.
She came to Zhou Siyan with a smile. “Where’s Feng Qizhou?”
Zhou Siyan’s expression was cold. “What are you looking for him for?”
Xue Yu: “Just to ask some tactical questions.”
Zhou Siyan: “You can ask me. I’m more experienced than him.”
“Oh, you’re right. You are very experienced. You’re super amazing!” Xue Yu gave him a thumbs up. “By the way, where did Feng Qizhou go?”
Zhou Siyan opened the tablet and checked the information for the next match. “Your next opponent’s spirit body is a humpback whale. I’ve seen her previous matches. She’s a very strong opponent. But, based on your performance today, you still have a high chance of winning.”
Xue Yu nodded like a pecking chick. “Yes, yes. Humpback whales are indeed very powerful. I’ve also studied them. Uh, where did Feng Qizhou go?”
Zhou Siyan’s face was ashen. He placed the tablet on the table. “He went home to take care of the child.”
Xue Yu was a little disappointed. “Alright.”
Without Feng Qizhou to replenish her stamina, Xue Yu was nervous.
Fortunately, her combat experience had improved. This battle was very difficult, but in the end, she narrowly defeated the humpback whale girl.
The third day’s competition would be even more intense.
Xue Yu would not only be fighting against water-type contestants, but also land-type contestants.
As soon as she finished dinner at the cafeteria, Xue Yu sent a message to Feng Qizhou: Qizhou, I’ll come and find you later (smirk) (dog with a rose in its mouth)
Feng Qizhou didn’t reply to her.
Xue Yu sent a message in the group chat: I’m going to the Manster Building to see the children later! I miss the babies.
Feng Qizhou replied to her in the group chat: The children are all asleep. Don’t come.
Zhou Siyan: ?
Mo Li: ?
After finishing her meal, Xue Yu immediately went to the Manster Building.
Both children were at Zhou Siyan’s apartment.
Zhou Siyan was sitting on the sofa, holding Xue Xiaobei and feeding her. Xue Xiaohai was lying on the foam mat, playing with a rubber ball.
Xue Yu walked over and kissed both children on the face. “Mommy’s good babies. Did you cry today? I seemed to have felt a crying sound when my reproduction tree was attacked.”
Zhou Siyan: “Was it during the fight with Squid Man?”
Xue Yu nodded. “Yes.”
Zhou Siyan: “At that time, Xiaobei and Xiaohai were indeed crying very hard. They must have been affected.”
Xue Yu felt guilty and kissed the two children again. “I’m sorry. It’s because Mommy is not strong enough. Don’t worry. Mommy will continue to work hard!”
She played with Xue Xiaohai for more than ten minutes and pinched Xue Xiaobei’s cheek. “Xiaobei is so well-behaved. Good girl. By the way, where’s your daddy?”
Zhou Siyan squinted at her. “Didn’t you say you were here to see the children?”
Xue Yu smiled. “I came to see the children, and to see you guys too. By the way, where’s Feng Qizhou?”
Zhou Siyan: “He went to work.”
“Oh. Then I’ll go and see him.”
Xue Yu rubbed Xue Xiaohai. “Xiaohai, be good. Mommy will be right back. Be good and listen to Daddy here. Don’t make Daddy too tired.”
With that, she put Xue Xiaohai down, stood up, and left.
Zhou Siyan calmly fed Xue Xiaobei, saying nothing.
Xue Yu went to Feng Qizhou’s clinic and saw that the light was still on, but there were no patients waiting outside. She pressed her ear to the door but didn’t hear anything.
She knocked, but there was no response from inside.
Xue Yu had no choice but to squat in the hallway. After waiting for about twenty minutes, the door finally opened, and Feng Qizhou walked out with a tired face.
Xue Yu jumped in front of him with a bright expression. “Haha, I’m here! I missed you so much.”
Feng Qizhou’s legs were weak, and he almost couldn’t stand. He could only lean against the wall. “Little ancestor, I beg you, can you give me some time to recover? I’m really going to be exhausted.”
