Chapter 2135: Not Even a Sip of Water

Hua Jinyan had absolutely no awareness of bullying a "little pal," it seemed that teasing a rival was a very amusing thing to do. He took a step forward and stepped on Jin Hancheng’s shoelace.

Jin Hancheng didn’t notice such a detail. He felt he had dodged too early earlier and now looked super embarrassed, wanting to regain some face.

Jin Hancheng suddenly stood up, intending to kick.

But he didn’t expect his shoelace to be stepped on, and the high kick didn’t go as planned. Because of inertia, he fell backward dramatically, ending up flat on his back, extremely embarrassed.

If there was a hole in the ground right now, Jin Hancheng just wanted to crawl into it.

His backbone hurt so much it felt like it was going to break, but not wanting to embarrass himself in front of the Goddess, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain silently, his eyes stubbornly glaring at the culprit.

This damn guy was still stepping on his shoelace!

Jin Hancheng didn’t dare to stand up, afraid of making a fool of himself again.

Hua Jinyan, looking clueless, withdrew his foot: "Sorry, I stepped on your shoelace."

If it weren’t for the overly piercing smile at the corner of his mouth, hearing his genuinely apologetic tone, Jin Hancheng would almost believe he didn’t do it on purpose.

"You did it on purpose!" Jin Hancheng roared and jumped up, wanting to ram into him, at the same time, his head and arms turned to steel.

This time he used his special ability.

If he hadn’t used his ability, it was mostly a joke. Now that he used it, the situation escalated.

Little Taotie, who had been watching with an indifferent attitude, coughed: "Before coming to Hua Country, you should have signed an agreement. Besides training hours, you are prohibited from using your special ability freely within Hua Country, and violators will be sent home."

"I..." Jin Hancheng’s fist retracted mid-air, and his steel-like head and arms returned to normal, "He provoked me first! I was just acting in self-defense!"

Although he protested verbally, he obediently retracted his ability.

Seeing him comply, Little Taotie didn’t pursue the matter further, saying to Hua Jinyan, "Come in, close the door."

Hua Jinyan bypassed Jin Hancheng to enter the office, closing the door under Jin Hancheng’s disgruntled gaze.

The most annoying thing was, the rival’s glance before closing the door was so provocative!

Jin Hancheng angrily kicked off his shoe and shouted with a low growl: "I, Jin Hancheng, will never wear shoes with shoelaces again in this lifetime!!!"

Though the roar outside was trying to suppress emotions and kept the volume low, both Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan inside, with senses beyond ordinary people, heard Jin Hancheng’s "vow" clearly.

Hua Jinyan twitched his mouth: "Your student seems a bit brainless."

Little Taotie shrugged indifferently: "For a Strength Ability User, intelligence is less important. Obedience to orders is what makes a good superpower user."

"So it seems you aim to cultivate an all-rounded superpower team?"

Little Taotie pointed to a cup on the table: "Have some tea."

She glanced at Hua Jinyan’s lips, noticing their dryness as if he hadn’t had water in a while.

Hua Jinyan leaned closer to let her distinctly see his lips.

"Caring about me this much?"

"Stop the nonsense, drink if you want."

Little Taotie wanted to take the cup and drink it herself.

Hua Jinyan covered the lid with his hand: "How can you drink it when it’s prepared for me."

Little Taotie saw him gulp down the water and frowned: "Returning from a mission without even drinking a sip of water, you come straight to me?"
