Chapter 168: The Pride and Dignity of the Strong!

Jiang Xiao crouched forward, tensed up his legs, and grabbed the handle of the sword that was exposed diagonally above his shoulder. He was about to go all out.

However, his rationality stopped him in the nick of time.

But his murderous intent was still strong.

It was Jiang Xiao’s subconscious actions, and he didn’t think much about it at all. After all, he had spent the past month with the White Ghouls.

The young man could feel that it was definitely not a joke or a normal sparring session. It was definitely a full-on battle.

The strong gust of wind swept through the snow, and the corpse of the White Ghoul Witch rolled all the way to the young man’s feet, after which he stepped on it.

All of a sudden, there was a strong tension in the air!

“Yo, yo, yo...” the young man with the round face and cotton cap said all of a sudden.

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

I’ve seen awkward conversations and awkward dances, but are you singing awkwardly now?

What?

Is the ambiance too tense?

Has this round-faced kid decided to freestyle because he’s scared that a conflict might break out?

“Yo, yo, yo...”

Jiang Xiao was still staring at the young man who was working hard at trying to say “yo” and was seemingly incapable of other speech, overwhelmed with feelings of awkwardness and embarrassment.

Unable to bear with it any longer, Jiang Xiao decided to give them an out.

“Look at his face, it’s long and wide. Doesn’t it look like this bowl that’s large and round?”

The handsome young man smirked awkwardly and his hands began to tremble when he held onto the handle of the sword.

The round-faced youth turned red in embarrassment and seemed to be on the verge of breaking down.

In the back, one of the twins got a great shock and had horror written all over her face as she fell, speechless.

The other one then burst into laughter and clutched her stomach while sitting on the ground that was covered in snow, unable to stop herself from laughing.

“An Luming, get up and apologize! Little Icicle may be clueless, but don’t you know anything?” The other twin with the bun kicked the girl named An Luming.

The girl with the bun covered her mouth and trembled slightly, clearly in a lot of pain. She stood up and said to the youth with the round face, “I’m sorry, Zhuangzhuang. I didn’t mean it... Haha, sorry.”

“No, no, no, it’s okay,” said the youth with the round face.

Jiang Xiao felt a little guilty. He felt that he had gotten into trouble. It was not that the youth was singing awkwardly, but rather, he had a stammering issue.

Jiang Xiao did not mean to laugh at the youth. Being mischievous was different from being cheap. Being humorous was also different from being mean.

The girl with the bun, who did not laugh, decided to comfort him. She said in a gentle voice, “Qian Zhuang, just say it. Don’t be nervous, it’ll be alright. Be patient and do it slowly.”

“Yo, yo, yo, Youyou, hurry... hurry and persuade, persuade, persuade Wu...” the youth with the round face stuttered.

“Wu Haoyang!” Finally, An Luming, who was sitting in the snow and almost rolling around because she couldn’t stop guffawing, helped the youth finish his sentence.

An Youyou frowned in displeasure and kicked An Luming’s butt.

“Eh, sis, stop kicking me. I was just helping him finish his question. I’m getting so anxious,” An Luming said as she crinkled her nose and stood up to smack the snow away from her butt.

“I was born 11 seconds earlier than you, I’m your elder sister!” An Youyou glared at An Luming and then turned to look at the tall and handsome young man. “Wu Haoyang, why are you snatching others’ things?”

“Yeah.” An Luming was obviously the bubblier one. She stomped her feet and continued, “You even made Little Icicle angry!”

The young man called Wu Haoyang stepped on the White Ghoul Witch’s corpse and leaned slightly towards the side. He placed the crescent sword in front of him and insisted. “Let’s have a fight!”

After confirming Qian Zhuang’s intention, Jiang Xiao apologized to Qian Zhuang and looked at Wu Haoyang.

Jiang Xiao felt rather helpless about the reckless youth. He reckoned that Wu Haoyang was not trying to kill him and merely wanted to spar with him because he was a martial arts enthusiast.

But... I’m a damned doctor. Why should I fight with you?

Wu Haoyang glanced at the silent Jiang Xiao and immediately flew into a rage. He barked. “Call yourself a man. You’re so wishy-washy! If you can’t beat me, just say so. At most, admit defeat. Be like a man!”

Damn it?

Is this kid trying to provoke me and taunt me into giving in?

Jiang Xiao felt huge disdain, but the next thing Wu Haoyang made Jiang Xiao feel rather exasperated.

Wu Haoyang stepped on the White Ghoul Witch’s corpse and hollered. “If you want this Star Bead, come get it yourself!”

Jiang Xiao frowned and said, “Do you really want to fight with me?”

“Of course!” Wu Haoyang exclaimed as his eyes glistened with a sharp and menacing gaze.

Jiang Xiao nodded gently and asked, “Are you not afraid of dying?”

Wu Haoyang glowered at him angrily and barked. “Don’t you think of insulting me!”

“Okay!” Jiang Xiao suddenly yelled, giving Wu Haoyang a great shock. Jiang Xiao slowly released the handle of the sword and said, “Give that White Ghoul Witch Star Bead to me. I’ll replenish my Star Power and fight with you on fair conditions.”

The truth had proved that there was no such thing as pride for those who had no morality.

Without hesitation, Wu Haoyang chopped off the head of the White Ghoul Witch and placed the crescent sword at his side like he was playing golf. He then swung his sword to smack the bloodied head towards Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao caught the skull and whipped out the dagger from the side of his thigh, hurriedly took out the Star Bead, and absorbed all of the Star Power contained in it.

None of the four students seemed to care about the “200,000 yuan”.

Jiang Xiao kept it in mind.

He sighed and thought, Indeed, these people are worthy of forming a friendship with.

While harvesting the White Ghoul Star Beads in front of the four of them, An Luming yelled, “Don’t be scared, Little Icicle. If you get injured, I’ll heal you.”

Jiang Xiao sighed again and thought to himself, Rest assured, kind girl. I won’t give you the chance to do that.

Jiang Xiao harvested the Star Bead and said, “Increase the distance. You and I shall have a proper fight!”

“Increase the distance?” Wu Haoyang asked in shock as he stared at the giant sword on Jiang Xiao’s back without hesitation.

Jiang Xiao barked. “What’s the matter? Are you too scared!?!”

Upon hearing his words, Wu Haoyang flew into a rage and hollered. “Okay! You call the shots. I just want to fight!”

Jiang Xiao nodded and retreated swiftly. He said, “My flying dagger is very accurate, don’t say that I didn’t remind you.”

While carrying the crescent sword, Wu Haoyang yelled, “What a joke. Bring it on!”

Jiang Xiao didn’t respond and simply vanished in the snow forest.

...

Ten minutes later, Qian Zhuang quivered and stared at Wu Haoyang. “Has that... that... kid already... already... already... left?”

“How is that possible?” Wu Haoyang was extremely alert and carefully observed the surroundings. “Look at the corpses here. There’s a White Ghoul Witch too! He’s a strong one, and the strong have pride and dignity!”

Qian Zhuang muttered, “B... b... but...”

Wu Haoyang said while keeping his guard up, “Don’t talk to me, I can’t be distracted! I don’t want to be killed by his flying dagger! When he launches an attack later, he’ll die!”

An Youyou put her hands in her pockets and said, “We have been here for a while. These corpses will attract other White Ghouls sooner or later.”

An Luming held onto An Youyou’s arm and stomped her feet because of the cold. Every now and then, she would give herself a Blessing. “Did Little Icicle sneak away?”

Wu Haoyang sniffled and said confidently, “That can’t be! He has a firm gaze in his eyes and a look of composure. He definitely isn’t a sly and cunning person.”

An Luming said, “Why can’t I tell...”

Wu Haoyang barked angrily. “Shut up, beware of the flying dagger!”

Qian Zhuang was speechless.

So was An Youyou, and An Luming.

In the depths of the faraway snow forest, Jiang Xiao left with light and nimble footsteps.
