Chapter 514: Li Xiao Says, You Are So Cute

~7 min read 1,244 words

"Hiss! So painful!"

As Cai Xiaotang landed, her hair was fiercely tugged by her arm, and her face instantly fell.

"Are you okay?"

Li Xiao suppressed a laugh, quickly flipped over to sit up from the ground, and reached out his hand toward her.

Cai Xiaotang, however, irritably slapped his hand away and sat up by herself.

"Are you targeting me? Why did you make me fall!"

That moment just now had truly startled her a bit.

Li Xiao, however, raised his eyebrows dismissively: "We were only demonstrating; if you were really facing a bad person just now, you would have already been..."

He deliberately left his sentence unfinished, merely gesturing at his neck with his hand.

Cai Xiaotang choked suddenly, feeling a chill run down her back.

"Again!!!"

She glared at Li Xiao, jumped up from the ground, and intended to keep at it.

Li Xiao was immediately very satisfied with her spirit and stood up as well.

The two of them stood still, maintaining the same posture as before.

Li Xiao reached out again to grip Cai Xiaotang's neck, then explained: "Actually, your line of thinking just now was correct. If the opponent is a man, you should indeed attack the lower three paths, but first, remember: if someone grabs your throat, you must first pry open their hand before attacking."

"How could I possibly pry it open?" Cai Xiaotang said, while reaching out to hook the edge of his palm, attempting to exert force.

Li Xiao watched her waste her effort for a long time with amusement, then suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

Cai Xiaotang's movements paused, and her gaze suddenly became somewhat unfocused.

His hand... so hot...

She was inexplicably distracted, and just as she was thinking this, she felt her fingers being pinched and placed against the opponent's thumb.

"Pry here, use all your strength."

Li Xiao gave a reminder and continued: "When you pry to a certain point..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt Cai Xiaotang suddenly exert force and fiercely pry open his thumb!

A wave of intense tearing pain arrived instantly; even Li Xiao couldn't help but frown and abruptly let go.

"Wow! It really works!"

Cai Xiaotang looked at him with a face full of excitement, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Li Xiao: "..."

Could she not wait for him to finish speaking?

Was she not being too ruthless with her attack?

Li Xiao shook his hand helplessly, then continued what he hadn't finished saying: "Although your strength probably won't break someone else's finger, if they are caught off guard, most people will subconsciously let go. At such a time, just take the opportunity to attack the lower three paths."

"Oh... so that's how it is..."

Cai Xiaotang nodded thoughtfully. Thinking of how he had shaken his hand just now, she suddenly realized something and asked somewhat smugly: "So... even you couldn't help but let go just now?"

"I was caught off guard by you. If you really run into someone very powerful, that move won't be enough at all. I'm just teaching it to you first for emergencies."

As Li Xiao spoke, he pointed at Cai Xiaotang's leg: "Remember, next time you attack someone, don't use your foot; use your knee. Otherwise, you'll be like just now, having your ankle grabbed directly by me."

"Mm, okay!"

Cai Xiaotang listened with a serious expression, remembering everything he said.

The two practiced for a while longer, and Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but start sweating on her forehead.

"That's it? Your stamina is too poor, isn't it?"

Li Xiao deliberately teased her with a smile, then pointed to other fitness equipment nearby: "Today was just a simple test of your reaction speed. Starting tomorrow, you'd better set aside one hour every day to come here and exercise, and build up your strength a little first."

"Tsk... why do I feel like you're like a fitness coach?"

Cai Xiaotang rarely felt that the person beside her was a bit nagging, and whispered: "If you keep talking, I'll feel like your next step is to ask me to buy your private training sessions..."

"Huh?"

Li Xiao's train of thought was interrupted. For some reason, he suddenly felt that what Cai Xiaotang said just now was inexplicably cute.

He suddenly reached out on impulse, ruffled Cai Xiaotang's hair, and replied with a smile: "My private training sessions can't be bought even if you wanted to, so this student, you'd better be serious."

"Aren't I being quite serious!"

Cai Xiaotang's heart had long since flown to the night market, and she complained while rubbing her stomach: "I didn't even go to the night market tonight..."

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly rolled, and she looked at Li Xiao tentatively: "Hey, considering how serious I was today, why don't you... accompany me to the night market in a bit? It's been so long since I've eaten the things I want..."

Cai Xiaotang deliberately looked at him with big eyes and blinked, trying to act cute and pitiful.

Li Xiao stared at her for a few seconds. Even though he knew she was doing it on purpose, he still couldn't help but soften for a moment.

"You say that as if I don't let you eat here..."

Li Xiao suddenly flicked Cai Xiaotang on the forehead: "Come over, review what I just taught you one more time, and I'll take you out."

"Okay!"

Cai Xiaotang agreed immediately.

The two stood back on the soft mat.

She had a sudden whim, still unable to forget the Shoulder Throw from before, and asked curiously: "Then... when can I learn the Shoulder Throw?"

"You're that interested in that move?"

Seeing her eyes light up the moment she mentioned the words "Shoulder Throw," Li Xiao felt somewhat helpless and amused.

Cai Xiaotang nodded repeatedly: "Of course! Because it's cool! Otherwise... why don't you let me throw you and see? Just as an experience?"

She rubbed her hands together, looking at Li Xiao with eagerness.

Seeing her so persistent, Li Xiao had no choice but to stand honestly in place: "Alright then, try and see if you can throw me."

"What do you mean I can't throw you!"

Cai Xiaotang had memorized almost every movement he made that day, and she didn't find it difficult at all.

"You aren't allowed to move! If I hurt you when I throw you, don't blame me!"

As she spoke, she turned her back to Li Xiao, then grabbed one of his hands and placed it over her shoulder.

Then, she bent her waist and exerted force with a sudden jerk!

Li Xiao didn't budge an inch.

Cai Xiaotang gritted her teeth and pulled on his arm again, exerting force!

Li Xiao still didn't budge an inch.

Cai Xiaotang was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Shouldn't it have been easy to flip him over and throw him down in a cool way!

"Ahem..."

Li Xiao's light cough sounded from behind her.

Cai Xiaotang's face burned, and she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Before she could even speak, she heard the person behind her tease in an infuriating tone: "Your posture... really looks like you're carrying a sack."

"You're the one carrying a sack!"

Cai Xiaotang retorted unhappily in an instant, her grip on his hand tightening sharply!

She refused to believe it!

Today, she was determined to make this guy get stunned by her throw!
