Chapter 523: A Short Distance Away

Translator: Alfredo Poutine Soup  Editor: DesTheSloth

Staying at the top of the gym, Luo Qiu and the servant girl felt the air turned clearer.

“Well, we may have missed a singer, for finishing Ms. Long’s trade.” Boss Luo looked down at the huge stage… he said it that way, but he didn’t have the sad look.

The servant girl moved her gaze and came to her master, “Master, shouldn’t we focus on Ms. Ren?”

Outside the gymnasium, Subeditor Ren was moving around, sweating like a pig.

Luo Qiu shook his head, “Don’t worry, she sat for too long in the office and claimed that she got too fat. Furthermore, she is always complaining that I cook too much meat… so let her do some exercise.”

But the boss still looked at her, “She’s always so silly. No matter when, she’ll try to work hard, even for a stranger.”

The servant girl saw warmth filled her Master’s eyes.

She didn’t bother him, but looked around… until she found a figure running in the dim night.

She seemed to a smell scent… so she turned her gaze to the side venue.

Over there.

…

…

In the center of the indoor basketball court, Wind’s look focused on someone.

“Have you finished?”

Leg lift, pressing, stretching… Cheese went through all the warm-up exercises… and now he was doing finger movement!

“This is vital, so I have to prepare thoroughly.” Cheese said seriously, “If you were me, could you be careless when your relatives are treated this way?”

“I have no relatives!” Wind suddenly got angry, and roared to him, “Cheese! Get started now! if you are still so lazy, then I’ll kill all of them! Nini, go ahead!!”

Cheese was shocked, and started sweating due to the scare. It was clear that he could not be able to delay any longer. So he said, “Don’t!! I’m ready! Here we go!”

Wind snorted and waved his hand to have Nini stop her actions of pressing the button of the laptop.

Cheese took a deep breath, “I can compete… but I want to attack first!”

“Humph, no problem.” Wind sneered, kicking the ball to Cheese, “There’s no goal. If you can pass me and run to the bottom line with the football, you score!”

“You said not to use monster powers… just do it with our own skills.” Cheese accepted the pass, “I don’t want any fouls either!”

“Come on!” Wind now grasped his knees, bending down.

Cheese took a deep breath… since it came to this, he could not anchor his hope on that mysterious woman. What he could only do was do his best to score.

He could only try and act carefully!

Cheese kicked the football with a raise of his ankle. Every cell in his body was taut as he rushed with the ball to the left side of Wind, as if he were a shooting arrow.

“Come on! Come here!!” Wind patted his hands, “That’s right, Cheese, that’s right… I’ll never let you pass!”

Wind raised his legs, dashing to Cheese… his speed was too fast even without using his monster power.

“I’ll get there!!”

“Depends on your skill!! Brat… fake move!”

“Don’t be proud… once more!”

While contending with football vehemently, Cheese heart beat quickly, stopping him from tackling. The only thing he thought was how to beat Wind—even if he heard Wind’s laughter.

‘Why is he laughing… laughing at me?’

Cheese collected himself, telling himself not to be influenced by his laughter. Soon, he had a chance, scram, turn around, repeat it several times… he passed him!!

At the moment Wind lost balance, Cheese abruptly dashed over from his right side; he dribbled, and rushed to the bottom line!

Right then, a short shadow showed up at his back… Wind! He failed to cross over; Wind now lowered his body using the running inertia!

Slide tackle! An exact slide tackle!

Cheese was careless and the ball had been intercepted; he even fell down due to the loss of balance. When he got up, Wind was stepping on the ball and shrugging, “It’s not a foul.”

“Come again!!”

“It’s my turn…” Wind chuckled, dashing towards the other bottom line, “It’s my goal!”

“Not yet!!”

Wind and Cheese were fighting with the ball… five minutes passed, but neither scored.

And the only audience Nini, was now looking at them silently, “Stop… stop…”

She tried to say something, but soon she turned absent-minded again.

6 minutes passed… 7 minutes passed… 8 minutes passed.

They were still trying to score the first point.

Cheese ran with sweat streaming down his back… each action he did was under heavy pressure; he tried his best with all his strength.

And so did Wind, but laughter kept appearing on his face, “It’s good to insist. But… you look exhausted and I haven’t used all my energy yet!”

Cheese gasped for air but still refused to admit being inferior, “I didn’t even use half of mine!”

“Then I just used 30%!” Wind snorted.

“I used less than 20%! Don’t be complacent!!”

“Tut… I’ll cross you!” Wind look turned extremely sharp— now, he controlled the ball!

This time, Wind turned in front of Cheese; he raised the ball to his knee with his tiptoes, juggling, and intending to kick it over Cheese’s head.

Cheese knew Wind’s mind, so he turned around consciously— he would not have him pass, he… needed to protect his families and friends!

But… where was the ball? Why didn’t he see it? Why?

When Cheese turned his head, he saw Wind supporting his body with one hand… He stood using his hands, with his legs clamped the ball!

He clamped the football the moment he juggled and when Cheese turned around… when Cheese witnessed the scene, Wind had landed, and dashed from the other side!

He was almost reaching the bottom line… bottom line… bottom line!

Cheese ran towards his shadow… at full tilt… even using his monster power!

His speed was increased several times… he got there! Almost caught Wind’s clothes! A little… a little!

He got it!!

Cheese was excited, but he just grasped Wind’s clothes… it tore! And… he failed to catch Wind!

He could only see him go over the bottom line and shoot at the wall!

“Ah!!!!”

Wind now yelled to the sky; he panted air, turning around after a while, and looked at the frustrated Cheese, “I didn’t use my monster power, but you did… well, that doesn’t matter, I scored!”

Puff—!

Cheese knelt down hopelessly, with head deeply lowered.

“Then, make a decision!” red light flashed over Wind, “Your mother, your brothers and sisters, plus Xiaojiang… who will you choose? Which one?”

Which one?

Cheese body quivered, as if entering a dark, cold and airtight space… he could not even hear any sounds.

His pupils were dilated to its extent…and he subconsciously looked at those laptop screens, each of the familiar faces.

Close relatives… and friends.

I cannot do that, I cannot do that!

Cheese held his head emotionally, crying out, “I… I cannot do that! I cannot do that!! Wind… I want to replace them! I cannot do that! Please… let them off, please!”

“So cowardly.” Wind ignored his begging, and snorted, “If you cannot… then let me choose one!”

“Don’t!!!”

“Then your mother!” Wind sneered, “One body with two lives, it’s a good choice!! Nini… take action!!!”

“Ah!! Ah!!! Ah!!! Ah!!! Ah!!!!! Ah!!!”

Cheese held his head, grasping his hair and opening his mouth, tears ran out of his eyes, “Ah!!! Ah!!!! Ah—!!!!!!!!”

But Nini was holding still, as if struggling. Her eyes quivered slightly, looking like she was in pain.

“Nini… take action!” Wind opened his mouth, vomiting a bell and shaking it with anger, “Take action!!!”

Nini cried again… but her fingers finally tapped on the keyboard— where it was marked Shu Xiaoshu!

“No—!!!!!” Cheese look was reddened, “Wind!! I will kill you!!!”

He totally demonized!

Unlike the appearance of humans, Cheese became a total monster, with sharp paws, grey ears and sharp teeth, “I will kill you!!!!”

At that moment… the laptop screen shook… maybe the camera had fallen!

The crazy Cheese stopped suddenly since he saw this.

And then the camera was set right… but now, it was not Shu Xiaoshu who appeared on the screen… but a woman, who hid her face with a handkerchief, revealing just a pair of clever eyes.

“Hello, can you hear me?”

Upon seeing the woman, Wind asked coldly, “Who are you?”

“I?” I’m a busybody but also interested in… Ah, just a passer-by, don’t mind.”

She suddenly smiled, “That guy… are you demonized? It turns out you’re a mouse. Hey, mouse, I solve it, and the remaining part, it depends on you… You’d better escape, I don’t think you can win against him. Don’t waste your energy. Well, I’m going to eat some cake, bye!”

“Damn it…” Wind was now showing the bloody shadow, “Screwing up my matter… I’m going to the kill you now!”

“I~ am~ so~ scared!” the face-covered woman patted her chest, and uncovered a corner of her handkerchief, sticking her tongue out slightly, “Lululululu!”

“Don’t move!” Wind’s bloody shadow solidified… and his huge power started to release!

Boom—!

The gate of the basketball gymnasium was suddenly broken, and a figure flickered and showed up near Cheese.

Looking at the figure, Cheese couldn’t help being surprised, “Master Long!”

“It seems that I didn’t come too late.”

Long Xiruo was still as tall, noble, and beautiful as the one in his memory.

“Don’t talk now, I’ll handle the matter here.” ‘Long Xiruo’ waved her hand, then looked at Wind severely, “Wind, I’ll give you a lesson, before you make serious trouble!”

The True Dragon’s power spread, which made the bloody shadow trembled… but he said in a rage, “Why!! Why do you stop me!! I don’t care about anything, even the True Dragon!! Come and kill me!!”

The bloody shadow escaped his body and rushed up into the air. Then, it combined with his body again, and disappeared… However, dark red curses started appearing all over Wind’s body!

‘Long Xiruo’ frowned and was alarmed in heart, ‘Wind’s monster power raised so fast… it’s almost to the previous extent of Xiang Liu!’

Wind kicked up his heels, rushing to the night sky after breaking the gym ceiling… ‘Long Xiruo’ gazed at him, turning into a golden light and chasing after him.

There were only 5 minutes, she had no time to consider if her true identity would be exposed.

…

The face-covered woman… Lizi lowered her head; she thought she could see more using this posture. But how could she see something out of the camera?

“Ah… so I cannot see it?”

Lizi shrugged. But since the True Dragon took action, the result should be predictable. It would be better to just take away these large and small monsters.

“There’s a pregnant one… Wind is so cruel.”

Lizi shook her head, and unfastened the ropes around Shu Xiaoshu.

Right then, something dropped from Shu Xiaoshu… Lizi took a look, and gaped, “It’s…”

It was full of red liquid… ‘It is a blood bag!’

Lizi frowned and looked for it on all the monsters… She found all of them carried the same kind of blood bag!

“Why do they…”
