Chapter 19

Only the light steps remained, Lin Xiao thought that perhaps there was one person who could help him.

He dialed the number he hadn't called in a long time.

"Hey, what a rare guest, I thought you, Little Brother Lin, had already forgotten about this old and faded woman," Wu Zuoli, our Wu demon, teased as soon as she spoke.

Lin Xiao wiped his sweat and said, "How could I forget our beautiful and youthful Sister Wu? In my eyes, Sister Wu is the most beautiful." He quickly flattered her.

"Hmph, your mouth is so sweet, how many girls have you seduced? You haven't given me a call for so long. Tell me, what are you going to do about this?" Actually, Wu Zuoli was quite happy to receive Lin Xiao's call, after all, she hadn't seen him in a long time.

"Big Sister, I was wrong. You can punish me however you like. It's just that I've been very busy lately, so..." Lin Xiao tried to please her.

"Is that so~~~~ Are you sure you're telling the truth~~~" Wu Zuoli continued to tease.

"Yes, yes... Absolutely true. I would never lie to my lovely, beautiful, and charming Sister Wu. Otherwise, may I be struck by lightning." Lin Xiao lost his temper whenever he faced Wu Zuoli, because she was the first person who treated him like a younger brother, and in her, Lin Xiao felt a warmth of family.

"Alright, no need for lightning. Big Sister believes you, okay? Since you called me, let's have a meal together. Don't refuse, we haven't seen each other in a long time." Wu Zuoli said.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since Sister Wu said it, I will follow your command."

At noon, in a teahouse, Lin Xiao and Wu Zuoli had lunch while chatting. Wu Zuoli carefully asked about Lin Xiao's recent affairs, and Lin Xiao told her everything that didn't need to be kept secret.

After a satisfying meal, Wu Zuoli stretched lazily, and the charm that instantly radiated from her beautiful face and graceful figure startled Lin Xiao's eyes.

Lin Xiao awkwardly shifted his gaze. To him, Wu Zuoli was a good sister, and he had no other improper thoughts.

Wu Zuoli also treated Lin Xiao like her own brother, which is why she could make some actions that ignored others.

"Hehehehe." Seeing Lin Xiao's shy appearance, Wu Zuoli covered her mouth and laughed heartily.

Usually, Wu Zuoli maintained a proud demeanor, only relaxing in front of her husband and family. Therefore, she treated Lin Xiao like family.

"Hey!~~~ Little Brother Lin, you must tell me honestly, what kind of cosmetics have you been using for the past month to have such good skin?" Wu Zuoli pointed at Lin Xiao and exclaimed. She hadn't paid much attention before, but now, sitting across from him and noticing his shyness, she noticed the change in his skin.

It's said that women are most concerned about their age and skin, and Wu Zuoli was a fervent believer in this. She would try anything that had a beautifying effect on her skin.

She didn't just talk about face masks; she would buy and eat vegetables that were good for her skin and beauty every day, and she would eat at least one fruit with beneficial effects every day.

So, even though Wu Zuoli was in her thirties, she looked like she was only in her early twenties.

"Um... Ah... This..." Lin Xiao stammered, unable to say anything. He couldn't tell her that he had undergone a meridian cleansing, or he might be sent to a mental hospital.

Seeing Lin Xiao stammering and unwilling to speak, Wu Zuoli continued to bombard him with words, making Lin Xiao's head spin.

Seeing Wu Zuoli's incessant chatter, Lin Xiao picked something that wouldn't shock her and said that it was due to his martial arts practice, as he had resigned because he was about to break through.

"Hey... Martial arts, like those flying and leaping in TV shows?" Wu Zuoli's attention was instantly diverted.

"Ah... Yes, actually, this time I came to Sister to practice a stepping technique, and I need some auxiliary equipment." Lin Xiao smiled and answered.

"Sure, I knew you would only come to me when you needed something. When you don't need me, you just ignore me." Wu Zuoli, the queen of mood swings, instantly put on a face of covering her face and crying.

"No, in my heart, Sister Wu is like a real sister, a feeling of family, so..." Seeing Wu Zuoli's expression, Lin Xiao laughed and said.

"Tsk... Then I forgive you. I've always treated you like a brother, haven't I? I've been calling you that all along. Really... You even made me feel touched." Wu Zuoli replied.

"Tell me, my cute little brother, what do you need help with?"

"Like this, I know Sister has a tennis court. I want to borrow the training equipment there."

"No problem, come whenever you want. You can use the training facilities at the tennis court, but you need to notify me. I want to watch." Wu Zuoli's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Xiao, filled with interest in martial arts, of course, her interest was only in what could make her skin better.

Lin Xiao's idea was to use the ball-throwing machine to attack himself, to train his light steps.

After paying the bill, Lin Xiao sat in Wu Zuoli's red Ferrari and arrived at the tennis court. He had the staff teach him the basic operations and then prepared to start practicing.

After watching the tennis ball launcher for a while, Lin Xiao had a good idea of the different levels of speed. He decided to start practicing.

Wu Zuoli had already given all the staff the day off, leaving only the two of them in the training ground. Of course, the fewer people who knew, the better.

Standing thirty meters away from the launcher, he signaled Wu Zuoli to start.

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

He easily dodged them, looked at Wu Zuoli, and shouted, "Sister Wu, don't use the medium intensity, set it to the highest. Otherwise, it won't be effective."

Wu Zuoli was worried and didn't want to hurt Lin Xiao, so she set it to medium intensity to see the effect. Seeing how easily Lin Xiao dodged, she was slightly reassured and set it to the highest intensity.

"Whoosh"

Lin Xiao's pupils contracted. The speed was several times faster than before. Unprepared, Lin Xiao was directly hit. Looking at the ball that hit his chest, although it wasn't too painful, he still pouted.

He signaled Wu Zuoli to continue, indicating that he was fine.

"Whoosh"

Lin Xiao's eyes were fixed on the tennis ball.

He saw it, watching the ball slowly grow larger in front of him, calculating where it would hit.

He took a half-step to the left and smoothly avoided the ball.

Seeing Lin Xiao dodge, Wu Zuoli's heart was slightly relieved, and she continued to watch with a sense of entertainment.

From the beginning, where he might have been hit five times out of ten, to the end where he successfully dodged all ten times, Lin Xiao spent a whole day.

Wu Zuoli had already gone home. Her initial sense of entertainment was long gone, and she had been yawning, finding Lin Xiao's training boring. At first, there was a sense of novelty, but the more she watched, the more boring it became, while Lin Xiao found joy in it.
