Chapter 28: Sparring

Ye Qingfeng and Anbi walked toward Lumina Square together. Along the way, every time he passed a cat, it would pounce over and circle around him. Obviously, this was the effect of the Animal Charm Body he drew last night.

For this situation, Ye Qingfeng didn't have much dissatisfaction, although he had to be careful every step he took, afraid of accidentally stepping on a kitten.

Anbi also rarely showed an interested expression, occasionally pulling Ye Qingfeng and not letting him walk, then squatting down to tease the cat.

Occasionally, some Therians stared at Ye Qingfeng shyly, and even a few bold ones ran over to strike up a conversation.

In the end, Ye Qingfeng was annoyed and took the initiative to turn off the effect of the Animal Charm Body.

Soon, the animals gathered at Ye Qingfeng's feet ran away in all directions instantly. After that, neither side took the initiative to speak, and they arrived at the park slowly.

At this time, people with fixed jobs have also started working, and it's still a while before lunch time, so there won't be too many people like on holidays.

"Are there no people in the park?"

Ye Qingfeng looked at the empty park and couldn't help but feel confused. He remembered that places like parks would always have some people no matter what time it was.

"There will be some elderly people exercising in the park in the morning, and children will come to play in the evening." Anbi looked at Ye Qingfeng expressionlessly and told the truth. "Idle people like us won't run to the park in the morning."

"Although what Anbi said is the truth..." Ye Qingfeng looked at Anbi's serious appearance and couldn't help but feel a headache. "But will there really be people... forget it..."

Tired... don't want to talk anymore...

"So why did Qingfeng bring me to the park?" Anbi looked around plainly. "To exercise using these facilities?"

"That's right!" Ye Qingfeng looked at Anbi with some surprise, put his hands on his hips, and stood tall. "That's right, to exercise!"

"...... Going back." Anbi rarely showed a speechless expression on her poker face and turned to leave without hesitation.

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Ye Qingfeng hurriedly pulled Anbi's wrist and blurted out in a panic, "I want Anbi to spar with me! That's right!"

"Let me spar with you?" Anbi turned her head slowly, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Although she didn't quite understand, Qingfeng said so.

"Come on."

As soon as Anbi finished speaking, a straight punch struck out like lightning, hitting Ye Qingfeng's face solidly.

"No?" Ye Qingfeng's body staggered back uncontrollably, covering his swollen cheek and looking at Anbi in disbelief. "You...?"

It was clear that Anbi didn't want to talk nonsense and attacked again with a lunge.

"I'll fight you! Too looking down on people!"

The sun didn't know when it had quietly hung in the middle, and Ye Qingfeng was lying on the ground in the park, his face in a mess.

Anbi said before leaving, "Finished fighting, work done..."

Now she had already left Ye Qingfeng's line of sight.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch." Ye Qingfeng struggled to stand up, lifted his clothes to look at the red and purple patches on his body, his face full of worry. "No! I can't beat Ethereals empty-handed, I'll endure it!"

"But! Why is Anbi beating me no different from bullying a newbie!" Ye Qingfeng complained unhappily. "How can this close combat be like a fake!"

'System! What's the use of the close combat I drew?'

【Beep! The sent reward is absolutely true. If there is a problem, please find the reason yourself.】

'And who is slacking off? Xiao Zhi, hurry up and come out!'

Ye Qingfeng felt like he was going to have a heart attack when he heard the system's answer. What do you mean find the reason yourself?! Is this my problem? Anbi beat him as if he had stiffness, and he couldn't even fight back!

【What are you doing, are you so bored every day? Did you capture the target? Did your capture progress meet the standard? Did you...】

Damn it! Now she doesn't even pretend! Where is the appearance of a system? Who is the boss?!

'Stop!' Ye Qingfeng covered his chest and staggered back two steps uncontrollably. 'Return it! That close combat is like a fake!'

【Weak——! Just practice more! Okay?】

Ye Qingfeng's fists hardened instantly when he heard Xiao Zhi's mocking tone.

'I have a system! Can't you just make me invincible? Then what's the use of the system!'

【Then should I go?】

'Cough, cough! It's still negotiable~'

【Eh... I'll just say it straight, apart from the Phaethon siblings, you can't beat anyone you know.】

"What?" Ye Qingfeng looked at it in disbelief. "Then what's the use of this close combat?"

【You say——is it possible that it's not that you are too weak, but that they are too strong?】

"...... No? They are all so strong!" Ye Qingfeng still didn't want to believe it, touched his chin and thought for a long time. 'Last time, right! Can't I even beat that green-haired loli from the Public Security Bureau last time?'

【...... Three seven】

"I'm seven, she's three?"

【She's three minutes, you're head seven.】

Silence... for a while, both sides fell into silence.

'Do you think you are very humorous? Just have to hit my self-esteem?'

Ye Qingfeng looked at the blue sky with dull eyes, not knowing why he had a feeling of wanting to cry.

【Is it possible that unless you are One Punch Man, why would you want to fight others in close combat?】

"That makes sense!" Ye Qingfeng's eyes suddenly cleared up. "If I want to fight, I'll fight Ethereals! Don't tell me I'm going to fight them empty-handed?"

"Hahaha, step down!"

【'I'm convinced...... really don't know why I'm stuck with such a...... forget it.'】

After thinking it through, Ye Qingfeng asked Nico about the progress of buying a gun at the first opportunity. Seeing no reply for a long time, he stood up slowly and patted the dust off his body.

"A bit hungry, find a place to have lunch."

Ye Qingfeng hummed a little tune and left the park, thinking of Anbi who left alone not long ago, picked up his phone and sent a message asking if she wanted to have lunch together.

As a result, there was no reply for a long time, as if it had sunk into the sea.

He now suspects that Nico and Anbi have colluded, how come neither of them replies to messages?

At this time, Anbi was holding a bucket of popcorn and watching the big screen intently, while Nico was lying on the bed with her limbs spread out, a trace of crystal clear liquid hanging from the corner of her mouth, muttering, "These Dennies are all mine, don't fight with me!"

Forget it, eating is important. Let's see what good shops are around here.

Finally, he found a ramen shop and walked in, ordered a super luxurious ramen, sat on a chair and waited quietly, and took out his phone to send messages to Zhu Yuan.

Looking at the messages that were almost instantly replied to, he felt sweet in his heart for some reason.

Zhu Yuan is still good to me... unlike those two guys at home!

That's right, although he was occasionally pitted for Dennies by Nico and just beaten by Anbi, he had already regarded the Cunning Hares as a home-like existence. ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
