“The little sister in the back, won’t you come out and play for a bit?”
White Lion said, looking at Li Guang hiding at the very back.
To maintain her image as a cute little sister, Li Guang deliberately shrank behind Li Chi, her hands pinching her brother’s arm from behind.
Although White Lion’s words didn’t have any ambiguity, Li Chi still felt an inexplicable displeasure.
But now wasn’t the time to pick a fight with him.
There would be plenty of opportunities back in the organization later, and he could even team up with Black Dragon and Vivian to prank him.
The best thing now was to grab his sister and run, to avoid stirring up more trouble.
Li Chi wasn’t worried about exposing his Dark Fang identity in front of White Lion; the main issue was Ying Guang here.
This magical girl was from the Magic Association.
From the way she had communicated with his sister’s contracted beast earlier, the two probably knew each other, but likely only their magical girl identities, which was why the earlier mix-up happened.
Seeing the panda plush strike a fighting pose, he figured Xiao Guang wanted to have a go at White Lion too.
The main goal now was to find an opportunity for his sister to slip away and transform where he couldn’t see.
Sigh, he had finally made time to go out for a meal with his sister, only for it to be ruined by these two guys.
The more Li Chi thought about it, the angrier he got; he was already plotting in his mind how to team up with Black Dragon next time to prank White Lion.
“Let’s go!”
Taking advantage of the magical girl bombarding White Lion with her microphone, Li Chi pulled Li Guang and turned to leave, already thinking up how to create an “accident” to let his little sister escape his line of sight.
Who knew that after just two steps, White Lion suddenly flashed in front of them.
“Wait, you can’t leave.”
“What do you want?”
Li Chi stretched out his hand to block in front of Li Guang. He knew White Lion might have already figured out Xiao Guang’s magical girl identity, but he knew his sister’s personality too well—with her brother present, Xiao Guang absolutely wouldn’t transform.
If White Lion tried to harm Xiao Guang at this point, Li Chi would unhesitatingly expose his identity and beat White Lion to a pulp on the spot, even if it wrecked Black Dragon’s plans.
But Li Chi hadn’t expected that this guy White Lion wasn’t targeting Xiao Guang; he was targeting Li Chi himself.
“You bastard!”
Seeing her opponent suddenly run over to the Li siblings, Ying Guang immediately got anxious.
She was a magical girl known for long-range attacks, but White Lion was too close to the siblings; acting rashly might hurt innocents.
White Lion waved at Ying Guang, signaling her to be quiet.
Just this extremely condescending gesture instantly made her furious.
But White Lion ignored her, instead quietly observing Li Chi’s face.
“Yo, you siblings look pretty alike. No wonder that hot-tempered little girl mistook you; it’s really hard to tell genders when you two are together.”
!!!
Li Chi was shocked. For him to say something like that meant this guy had been lurking nearby far longer than he thought.
As for why his super perception hadn’t detected White Lion, it was because that was an active skill, leading to Li Chi’s carelessness.
White Lion hooked his finger at the siblings and continued, “Hey… the one who’s the brother, come punch me. After you punch me, I’ll let you go.”
Li Chi and Li Guang exchanged glances, not knowing what medicine this elegantly dressed guy was selling in his gourd.
But a free punch was a free punch.
Li Chi stepped forward, clenched his right fist, and punched toward White Lion’s face.
Bam!
This time, Li Chi didn’t hold back; it was almost his full strength in his current human form.
White Lion took the hit with his chest.
Although his body was steady as a mountain, since they were close, Li Chi clearly saw the cold sweat on the guy’s forehead, his face even paling a bit.
“Not bad, pretty strong… A martial artist?”
Li Chi shook his head and stepped back, continuing to block in front of his sister.
White Lion savored that punch.
Although it was several levels below Black Dragon, it was still quite powerful.
“No, no… No technique, just brute force…”
White Lion’s eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Li Chi, a hint of longing in his gaze.
“What do you want with my brother?!”
Seeing the strange look in White Lion’s eyes, Li Guang hurriedly stepped in front of Li Chi.
Now it was the sister protecting the brother…
Seeing this scene, Li Chi felt quite gratified.
Not bad, all that doting wasn’t in vain, though this feeling was a bit weird.
“No, no, this miraculous little sister, I’m not thinking of doing anything strange to your brother.”
White Lion explained, but in other people’s ears, this explanation took on another meaning.
The vigilance in Li Guang’s eyes intensified.
She thought, if this weird guy who looked like a beast in human clothing dared to do anything bad to her brother, she wouldn’t hide anymore—exposure be damned.
Her hand in her pocket touched her transformation device. If the other made any other move, she’d transform immediately and strike hard.
Realizing how strange his earlier statement sounded, White Lion didn’t plan to continue explaining and went straight to the point to express his idea, which was the most powerful explanation.
“Young man, you have a good foundation. Any interest in learning swordsmanship?”
Before Li Chi could speak, Li Guang said viciously.
“I think you’re pretty cheap!”
“Hey, why are you cursing?!”
Li Chi and White Lion looked at Li Guang in shock.
The former wondered when his gentle, cute, well-mannered sister had learned dirty words. The latter pondered why he was suddenly cursed out of nowhere.
Not far away, Ying Guang was anxious but didn’t dare attack, pacing in circles.
In her view, the Li siblings had been taken hostage by White Lion.
If she acted rashly, the sister might be fine since she had self-protection abilities, but the ordinary brother would likely suffer.
“I’m not joking; I’m serious!”
White Lion defended.
“But you just said if we punched you, you’d let us go!”
Li Guang immediately retorted.
Hearing this question, White Lion suddenly reacted as if some special mechanism had been triggered, retorting in a way that almost made Li Guang transform:
“What a joke, I’m a villain—can you believe a villain’s words?”
Li Guang immediately seized this loophole and began the next round of retorts.
“So your earlier words can’t be believed either; you said it yourself!”
“Sigh! No… listen to my explanation! That was a slip of the tongue!”
Seeing Li Guang on the verge of exploding, White Lion hurriedly raised two fingers to swear to the heavens.
“I swear on my character: As long as your brother spars with me for a couple of moves, I’ll let you two go!”
“And if you break your word?”
“If I break my word? Then I’m a !”
Hearing such filthy words, Li Guang frowned and said with disgust.
“Truly a villain; such utterly disgusting dirty words can come right out of your mouth.”
“Wait, I really want your brother—”
Thud!
The sound of something falling to the ground interrupted the conversation.
Everyone’s gazes turned toward an intersection, only to see two magical girls, one red and one yellow, standing there dumbfounded, looking at White Lion in disbelief.
It was Chi Zaozao and Gu Qingchuan; they had also been drawn over by the magical aura emanating from White Lion.
“Gold, what did I just hear?”
Red’s gaze swept back and forth between White Lion and Li Chi, then looked incredulously at her companion.
“It seems like… he wants Li… that brother?”
After her companion’s confirmation, Red immediately pointed at White Lion’s nose and cursed.
“Wow, Elegant Leader, you bastard are too disgusting! Actually wanting to claim someone’s good-looking brother for yourself!”
“Wait! It’s not like that! Listen to my explanation!”
Gold looked at White Lion with a gaze of disgust, as if staring at a bug.
The usually timid and cowardly her also chimed in.
“Really disgusting; I didn’t expect people still do this kind of thing nowadays…”
Taking advantage of White Lion’s explanation gap, Ying Guang suddenly erupted, a powerful sound wave rushing toward White Lion.
“No! Don’t attack yet! Listen to my full explanation—”
Before the words were finished, White Lion was smacked right in the face by this hit, the whole person dazed on the spot.
Li Chi also took this chance to hurriedly pull Li Guang and run, leaving the battlefield to White Lion and the three magical girls.
As for that manager big sister—still background, ignored from start to finish, like she was isolated.
Watching the scene grow increasingly chaotic, White Lion had just wanted to explain when he was met with a joint beatdown from the three magical girls.
Li Chi only felt this scene had an indescribable sense of dissonance.
“Why does this feel somewhat familiar?”
“Brother, what did you say?”
“Nothing, hurry and run!”
Li Chi ran without looking back, leaving White Lion alone to face the group beating from the three magical girls while painfully defending himself.
