Chapter 168: Really Want to Bite Someone

"It is a pleasure to work with you."

Sheng Man did not give the other party a chance to ask her to stay; her high heels went *tap-tap-tap* as she walked away, and her Skynet communicator rang urgently again, causing Sheng Man to turn back and apologize quite embarrassedly.

After leaving the event hall, Sheng Man finally let out a sigh of relief, opened her Skynet communicator, and turned off the dozen or so timed alarms she had set.

Suddenly thinking of Ma Long, she felt so angry her teeth itched; she didn't plan on talking to him for three days.

"Ziyuan, what are you doing? Come out and keep me company!"

"I'm still here at the team base. What's wrong? You sound like you're in a bad mood."

"It's that lousy team again. Never mind that, you have to come keep me company. Li Hao doesn't even pay you a salary, why are you working so hard for him? I'll wait for you at our usual spot. Hmph, you have to come!"

Tan Ziyuan felt helpless, but fortunately, there was nothing important today, and Zhou Naiyi could handle the regular training, "Wait for me, I'll be there in a bit."

"Mwah! Our Ziyuan loves me the most; men are unreliable!"

Tan Ziyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As her best friend, she naturally knew that Sheng Man's resentment had been very deep lately, but she also knew that Ma Long was truly training seriously. Both sides understood each other's situation, but life is always accompanied by all sorts of little moods; it's easy to talk about putting yourself in someone else's shoes, but hard to actually do it.

Tan Ziyuan and Sheng Man were eating barbecue and drinking beer. Sheng Man was still wearing her evening gown, which looked exceptionally strange in this place, but she didn't care at all. Life isn't lived by looking at other people's perspectives, just like her and Ma

Long's life; it might not be accepted in others' eyes, but does that matter?

Ever since Tan Ziyuan arrived, Sheng Man had been complaining for nearly an hour; there probably wasn't much left of Ma Long's reputation.

Tan Ziyuan just listened. Everyone's personality is different; how men view women and how women view women are two completely different situations. In their dormitory, Sheng Man and Lu Ying were more extroverted, while Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao were more introverted, but there was still a difference between the extroversion of Sheng Man and Lu Ying. Sheng Man seemed very casual, but that was actually just her attitude toward life; she was a typical Tianjing person, very clear about things, and had high emotional intelligence. From a certain perspective, Sheng Man and Ma Long were a match made in heaven—a pair of oddballs meeting another oddball.

"Alright, the complaining is done. Now let's pack some food and go see Ma Long," Tan Ziyuan said with a smile.

"What? See him? And bring food? In your dreams!" Sheng Man pouted, still stubborn.

"Ma Long must have been bragging to you. He's currently at the bottom of the team. The new Mid-Season Tournament rules just came down, requiring a score of 2000 or higher. He's the only one on the team who doesn't have it. He signed a military pledge to reach 2000 points in two days. This sudden order makes the current 2000-point rank in the EMP Building as hard to play as hell, with all sorts of sniping and chaos," Tan Ziyuan said only after Sheng Man had finished venting.

"Ah, what? Are they crazy? If there was a rule, why didn't they say so earlier? What's with this sudden ambush!" Sheng Man stood up abruptly.

Tan Ziyuan smiled, "So, are we still bringing food or not?"

"We are! Our Longlong isn't having an easy time either; I have to bring him something good

to eat to help him recover. Boss, pack five dozen raw oysters, pick the big ones... Hey, why are you still sitting there? Let's go."

Tan Ziyuan was dumbfounded... In the end, her efforts were still misplaced.

In the Tianjing Martial Arts EMP Building, Ma Long had lost three in a row again. Today was damn strange; they were all experts, and it made his mentality explode. On one hand, he was worried about Sheng Man. He really wasn't a tough guy like Wuzang or Li Hao, who felt completely unaffected by women. He just couldn't do that.

The Skynet communicator rang again.

"Manman, I..."

"Which training room are you in?"

"Ah, oh, 358. I'm really not playing around, I'm grinding points..." Ma Long thought Sheng Man was doing her usual check-up... and she hung up again.

It's miserable. He was truly too useless. Even Huo Ying and Zuo Xiaotang were starting to feel the expansion point of their Mental Power, so why the hell couldn't he feel anything at all?

*Bang, bang, bang... *

Ma Long frowned but still stood up to open the door. He saw Sheng Man at the door with a takeout box in her hand, and Tan Ziyuan behind her.

Seeing Ma Long's exhausted appearance, Sheng Man felt very heartbroken. She suddenly turned back to look at Tan Ziyuan, "Hey, why are you still here?"
