No one had ever seen Lu Chenxing angry; he usually acted like a good-natured gentleman, kind-hearted and extremely even-tempered.
This was the first time they had seen Lu Chenxing angry, and they could tell from his tone that he wasn't joking; he was serious.
Which meant he could really train Guo Jiahao to death, and he could really find someone to revive him! Making him repeatedly jump between life and death!
Three words simultaneously emerged in everyone's minds: "Living King of Hell!"
And just as everyone was intimidated by Lu Chenxing's aura, Xiao Zhi, in his arms, lightly kissed his face. She was a little scared, her voice trembling slightly, but she still softly said, "Daddy, please don't be angry, okay?"
Lu Chenxing's face, which had been as black as a pot, instantly changed the moment Xiao Zhi spoke. He gently comforted her, "Daddy isn't angry. It just so happens that your Xiao Hao brother needs special training, so Daddy is setting out his training plan for tomorrow."
The people around him shivered. You're not angry? Do you even believe that yourself? You directly said you'd train someone to death and then revive him! You call that a training plan?
Seeing the cold light in Lu Chenxing's eyes undiminished, Guo Jiahao quickly said, "Boss, I was wrong, I was really wrong, but I truly didn't mean to bully Xiao Zhi. After all, she just awakened, and she's young. I just wanted to feel a bit of a senior's superiority."
Listening to Guo Jiahao's sincere explanation and apology, the cold light in Lu Chenxing's eyes lessened a bit, but he still said coldly, "Is that what you meant just now? Xiao Zhi was bullied before, and I don't want her to be bullied again now that I'm here!"
"Oh my! Heaven and earth bear witness, the sun and moon can attest!" Guo Jiahao repeatedly said, "I definitely wouldn't be serious with a child like Xiao Zhi! Boss, don't you know what kind of person I am? I just wanted to tease her!"
Hearing this, Lu Chenxing finally understood what Guo Jiahao meant. He just wanted to tease Xiao Zhi and also gain some confidence, as the one with the least combat experience here was now Xiao Zhi, not him.
Actually, Lu Chenxing was so angry mainly because of Xiao Zhi's earlier comment, "I'm a little afraid of pain," which instantly filled him with rage, making him want to teach Guo Jiahao a good lesson! He hadn't thought much beyond that.
Now that he knew he had misunderstood him, Lu Chenxing fell silent for a moment, then the anger in his heart slowly dissipated. After a while, he calmed down and apologized, "Xiao Hao, I misunderstood you on this matter. I apologize to you, I'm sorry."
"No, no, no, it was my expression that was problematic. I'm clumsy with words and didn't explain clearly. I'm the one who should apologize." Guo Jiahao waved his hands repeatedly, "If I had a daughter as cute as Xiao Zhi being egged on to fight someone more than ten years older than her, I'd also be angry. So, Big Brother, you're not wrong, I am."
At this moment, Guo Jiahao also understood why Lu Chenxing was angry. After putting himself in Lu Chenxing's shoes, he couldn't help but feel that what he had said earlier was truly inhumane.
Why was Xiao Zhi afraid of pain? It was because she had been bullied before, and yet he told her things like, "You've become stronger, you won't feel pain anymore," egging her on to spar with him. She was only five years old; it would be strange if her father could hold back his anger.
Recalling what he had just said, Guo Jiahao couldn't help but want to slap himself twice. Was that even a human thing to say?!
Lu Chenxing, however, shook his head slightly, "Alright, let's let this matter go. You didn't mean any harm."
The atmosphere in the room finally relaxed again, but everyone understood that Xiao Zhi was now Lu Chenxing's sore spot; anyone who dared to bully her would likely suffer terribly.
Seeing that Daddy was truly no longer angry, Xiao Zhi quietly let out a sigh of relief. She had truly never seen Daddy angry before; this was the first time, and although it was for her, it was still very scary.
Just then, her stomach rumbled again. Lu Chenxing kissed her fair, tender little cheek, stroked her little head, and smiled, "Let's go eat first. Yun Qiaoqiao probably isn't full either, let's eat together."
"Okay, Teacher." Yun Qiaoqiao nodded. She really wasn't full. While eating, she kept thinking about the Holy Light Church, which immediately made her feel flustered. Now, after a battle, her mind had calmed down, and she had also moved around a bit, so she was indeed a little hungry again.
So, the chefs, who had already prepared to rest, went back to work, furiously producing food. Finally, two hours later, both of them stopped eating.
By this time, it was almost midnight. Lu Chenxing originally wanted everyone to go rest, but Guan Yang was particularly interested in his Element Avatar and had no desire to sleep.
Even Xiao Zhi, because she had slept all afternoon, had no desire to sleep at all.
So, the group simply went back to the second basement level's training ground. Lu Chenxing put Xiao Zhi down, patted her back, "Go play with your Xiao Hao brother. I'm going to give your Guan Yang brother special training."
"Mm-hmm! Go, Daddy!" Xiao Zhi said energetically after eating her fill. Then she ran to Guo Jiahao, "Xiao Hao brother, teach me how to fight bad guys. Once you teach me, I want to ask Daddy for special training too!"
Looking at Xiao Zhi who ran to his side, Guo Jiahao looked up at Lu Chenxing, who smiled and nodded at him, warming his heart. So he took Xiao Zhi's hand, "Come on, let's go over there. Don't disturb your Daddy and Guan Yang brother's fight."
"Mm!"
Xiao Zhi was full of anticipation at this moment. That day, when she first saw Guo Jiahao and the other two fighting, she asked Daddy, "Does getting hit hurt a lot? Aren't they scared?"
Daddy's answer was, "They can protect themselves, it won't hurt." At that time, she wished she would grow up quickly so she could also protect herself and not be afraid of pain.
And now, although she hadn't grown up yet, she also had the power to protect herself. She also wanted to fight bad guys and protect herself!
After Lu Chenxing summoned the Mage's Element Avatar and fought Guan Yang for ten minutes, Guo Jiahao suddenly let out a wail, attracting his attention.
When he looked over, he only saw a slender silver spear stuck in Guo Jiahao's butt, with specks of frost carrying the power of the "Freeze" rule, blooming into ice flowers on his backside.
Xiao Zhi stood in place, somewhat at a loss, seemingly realizing she had done something wrong. Her eyes quickly reddened, and large tears fell down.
Seeing Lu Chenxing's gaze, she cried, "Daddy, Xiao Zhi... Xiao Zhi did something wrong."
Lu Chenxing quickly dismissed the Element Avatar, flashed to Xiao Zhi's front, used his All-Knowing Eye to check Guo Jiahao's injury, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, Xiao Zhi, it's just a minor injury. First, pull the spear out of your Xiao Hao brother's butt, and I'll heal it."
"Oh, oh!" Xiao Zhi seemed to have found her backbone, stopped crying, and pulled out the spear. There was no trace of blood on the tip of the spear. Lu Chenxing reached out and pressed the flesh near the wound. Hmm, it was rock hard.
Then he used a healing spell to help Guo Jiahao's wound and at the same time asked, "What's going on with you?"
