Nine O'Clock, signifying a closer approach to the goddess. Watching armored vehicles move past the Second Squad, Xiao Qiang, under Liu Yi's cover, smoothly rolled in from the rear of the Dual-Wheeled Armored Vehicle and quietly emerged from the front without looking back. He skillfully made his way to the training ground of the Fourth District Third Squad.
The scene was the same, with soldiers coming and going, none suspecting this unfamiliar face. Xiao Qiang slipped into the dimly lit training passage, rubbing his hands together in preparation to tackle the simulated Mimetic Bionic Alien steel discs.
The guard did not make things difficult for Xiao Qiang; he kept his gaze straight ahead and stepped directly into the warning line marked by flashing white lights.
A confident smile curled at the corners of Xiao Qiang's lips as he raised a finger to his mouth, looking at Goddess No. 22 with warmth in his eyes. The goddess noticed his expression was somewhat complex and paused for a moment.
"You've come to challenge me," she said, her gaze slightly disdainful. "To challenge me, you must first defeat them." With that, she pressed the activation button firmly as usual.
With a whoosh, the discs generated a gust of wind, creating circular light rings that sliced through the air at high speed. Xiao Qiang took a deep breath and nimbly dodged while channeling some Ability...
Seeing Xiao Qiang remain calm in response to the simulated props for a short time, the goddess's expression darkened slightly, clouded with uncertainty—whether out of anger or joy was unclear.
After several rounds without injuring Xiao Qiang, he began to feel smug. In between evasive maneuvers, he even blew her a kiss. However, in a moment of arrogance, he caught a glimpse of a strange expression on the goddess's face and felt a pang of worry—what trick was she up to this time?
Worry was inevitable. The seemingly unchanged rotating discs became increasingly challenging for Xiao Qiang. Was it due to his fatigue or... The spinning speed suddenly increased, and the force intensified, causing him to fumble despite his earlier confidence.
Bang! He was violently struck from behind, nearly falling flat on his face. Fortunately, he managed to stabilize himself. As he chuckled at his near mishap, another disc whirled back around without giving him any time to collect himself.
Suddenly, Xiao Qiang understood—the goddess's earlier enigmatic smile had its reasons. The controller in her hand was accelerating! Oh my god, this was something he had never anticipated. Just as he lost focus for a moment—whack! His forehead took another hit, making him wobble like a weeble before finally collapsing onto the ground.
The wind generated by the spinning discs seemed to mock him as he looked up and saw that petite figure about to leave. Panic surged within him as he cried out in pain, "Don't go..."
The goddess halted her steps and shot him a piercing glance.
"I... I'm injured... Ouch!" Xiao Qiang exaggeratedly yelled out, fearing she would walk away again. He quickly added, "I have something to give you."
His convincing act (though it truly hurt) drew her attention as she coldly assessed him lying on the ground, appearing genuinely serious. "It can't be that bad," she remarked skeptically about whether he had sustained internal injuries after seeing him so smug moments ago. She pressed Heartless to enhance the system.
"Ouch... it hurts here... and here..." Xiao Qiang feigned extreme pain while pointing at his stomach and gesturing around. "I might not be able to get up..."
The goddess turned away casually saying, "One life is worthless; dying is no loss."
"Are you really leaving?"
“……” She ignored him and walked around the corner, disappearing from sight.
Xiao Qiang shook his head and sighed, “A woman’s heart is as hard as iron.” He grumbled and rolled over, getting back on his feet… In that instant, he froze.
The goddess who walked out from inside was also taken aback. She never expected that at such a critical moment, he would still be playing the fool. Her expression darkened, clouds gathering as if a storm was about to break.
Xiao Qiang, emboldened yet terrified of the fierce look on her face, felt his heart skip a beat. He cursed inwardly, “Damn it, if I had known, I would have just stayed lying down a bit longer.”
“You didn’t come here just to challenge me, did you?” The goddess squeezed the special potion in her hand and glared at Xiao Qiang with her almond-shaped eyes.
Xiao Qiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she hadn’t exploded in anger. Otherwise, the sky would have fallen. He feigned a pitiful look, scratching his head and said, “A man keeps his word. I swore to my team that I would challenge you within three days.”
The goddess remained silent, her gaze still fixed angrily on him as she stepped closer. She twisted his arm behind his back with a sharp motion. Amidst Xiao Qiang's yelps of pain, his arm was already bent awkwardly, palm facing away from her.
“You’re a mutant.”
“Yes,” Xiao Qiang admitted. It pained him to see his beloved woman acting so ruthlessly like a man. The ache from his bones felt piercing; he gritted his teeth and held on, thinking to himself: I must stand strong. Although she had the upper hand for now, I can’t beg for mercy or show weakness.
“What do you have for me?”
“Let me go and I’ll tell you.”
“What right do you have to negotiate?”
“I’m your man.”
The goddess blushed with anger and twisted harder…
“Ouch! Ouch! Don’t… how did you become like this?” Xiao Qiang winced as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After holding back for a long time, he finally managed to ask that one question.
“Where’s the thing?”
“This is a long story; if you don’t let me go, I really can’t explain.”
Furrowing her brows, the goddess released her grip. “Hand it over.”
Xiao Qiang rubbed his arms and pinched his wrists. "What..." Although he had been through a lot, being so close to her made his heart feel warm, just as L Captain had said—getting beaten up was also a joy. He questioned himself while racking his brain for the right words to convey his experiences to her.
He gazed at her, her face still so beautiful, with an air of heroism between her brows. Truly, a woman of strength does not yield to men.
The goddess had not left in time; she was also lost in confusion. The familiar scent coming from him was undeniable. Who was he? Why didn’t she feel any aversion towards him?
They were less than a foot apart, staring into each other's eyes, drawn to one another. Suddenly, Xiao Qiang seemed to lose control and pulled the goddess into an embrace, his long-desired lips crashing against hers without thinking.
Slap! The sound was crisp and decisive as the goddess withdrew her hand in panic, retreating hastily without looking back at Xiao Qiang, who was covering his flushed cheek. She nearly collided with her master coming out from inside.
In her flustered state, she tried to gather her emotions—was it grievance or something else? She herself wasn’t sure. "Master," the goddess's face turned crimson, like a shy girl who had just done something shameful. She lowered her head, unable to meet her master's gaze.
"It’s nothing. You and him..." Jack said as he walked past, glancing at Xiao Qiang, who was still frozen in place and at a loss. He waved and said, "Hi."
"Hi," Xiao Qiang replied with a bitter smile.
