Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 129: Mutual Exchange of Skills

Xu Xiangbei sat down in the chair next to Ouyang Yufei, picked up a teacup, poured himself some tea, looking every bit the master of the house.

The disciples saw their master lose the boxing gym, and started taking off their training clothes, planning to leave the gym.

Xu Xiangbei smiled and said to Ouyang Yufei, "Actually, your fist technique against Iron Gall wasn’t bad, but you focused too much on power, which made the Dragon Tiger Fist lose its essence. This set of punches has more power when practiced by women than men."

A disciple, displeased with Xu Xiangbei’s critique of the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist, said, "What do you know? This is something handed down from our ancestors, how could it lose its essence?"

But Ouyang Yufei wasn’t angry, instead, he stared wide-eyed at Xu Xiangbei in surprise.

He remembered his father saying when teaching the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist that it was originally suited for girls to practice. He made some changes to make it suitable for men, but it weakened the power significantly.

This he had long forgotten, yet Xu Xiangbei’s mention brought it back to memory.

This was no coincidence; clearly, Xu Xiangbei, despite his youthful appearance, possessed the demeanor of a martial arts master.

He signaled the disciples to keep quiet and curiously asked Xu Xiangbei, "Dr. Xu, what you said made some sense, how did you figure it out?"

Xu Xiangbei picked up his teacup, the tea was almost gone, he complained, "We’ve been fighting until now, I’m thirsty, and nobody offers me any water, I don’t have the strength to tell you."

Ouyang Yufei hurriedly plugged in the teaware and took a small packet of green tea leaves from the tea box, brewing a fresh cup of tea.

He enthusiastically explained, "This is Huangshan Maofeng, picked from tea gardens above 2,000 meters altitude, infused with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, essence of the sun and moon, Dr. Xu, have a taste."

Ouyang Yufei solemnly poured Xu Xiangbei a cup of tea, its bright green clarity and refreshing aroma permeating the air.

Xu Xiangbei took a sip, truly delicious with lingering fragrance, distinctly unique: "Good tea, drinking it gives me strength to speak. Last night, in our fight, I basically understood your thirty-six styles of Dragon Tiger Divine Fist. Today, experiencing it again, my impression deepened. Your boxing technique should have been derived by your ancestors observing scenes of cats and snakes fighting."

The disciples nearby, upon hearing Xu Xiangbei speaking so credibly, were curious and gathered around, listening attentively.

Ouyang Yufei nodded, "You did guess correctly. When my dad taught me the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist, he also said so. The dragon actually represents a snake, while the tiger is a cat. Our ancestors while working in the fields, witnessed a mountain lynx fighting with a snake and realized this boxing method."

Xu Xiangbei laughed, "Your Ouyang family named the boxing ’Dragon Tiger Divine Fist’ to make it sound mighty and dominant, but in essence, the basic actions are entirely derived from cats and snakes. We all know cats and snakes are extremely flexible and agile, hence this boxing style thrives on nimbleness and elegance. So I think, you don’t necessarily need to practice it with such force; the balance of Yin and Yang is the key."

Ouyang Yufei seemed to have an epiphany, "Makes sense. Listening to Dr. Xu is better than reading for ten years. I can hand the boxing gym over to you, I feel assured."

Xu Xiangbei mischievously grinned, "I don’t want your boxing gym."

Ouyang Yufei asked puzzled, "Didn’t you say you wanted to settle accounts with me? Not about my boxing gym?"

"Of course I want to settle accounts, but not for your boxing gym. I want you to make me a pair of identical Iron Gall to play with, how about that?"

On hearing Xu Xiangbei just wanting a pair of Iron Gall, Ouyang Yufei breathed a sigh of relief, and the disciples’ expressions also brightened up, "That’s certainly no problem, but it’ll take three days to finish."

"Five days is fine too."

Ouyang Yufei poured another cup of tea for Xu Xiangbei, hesitated a moment, and sincerely said, "I have another favor to ask of Dr. Xu."

"Whatever it is, just say it."

Ouyang Yufei smiled, "I want to hire you as our boxing gym consultant coach to help improve the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist."

"Hehe, I’m usually really busy, where would I find time to be your coach."

It’s not that Xu Xiangbei was delaying; he really was extremely busy, working as a school doctor every day, and also taking care of the lifestyle of four beautiful female tenants.

Ouyang Yufei said slowly and softly, "Dr. Xu, hear me out. Our boxing gym is quite renowned in Jiangcheng, having four branches in total, and the annual tuition fee reaches about five million. If Dr. Xu could be our consultant coach, I’d be willing to offer an annual salary of ten thousand, but the bonus could reach fifty thousand annually. Dr. Xu doesn’t need to answer me right now, think it through, if you’re interested, we’ll sign the contract."

Xu Xiangbei was hesitating when suddenly a group of young women ran in, wearing crop tops and hot pants, each vibrant and lovely, with figures sculpted as if from jade.

Ouyang Yufei quickly instructed disciple Sun Fei, "It’s too chaotic here today, move the yoga class to Hall 2, take them to Hall 2."

Xu Xiangbei, as if discovering a new continent, was secretly delighted, "Flying Fish, oh no, Brother Ouyang, you even have yoga here?"

Ouyang Yufei smiled with a shrewd look, "Opening a boxing gym now isn’t just a pure martial arts gym as before. It includes fitness, martial arts, equipment, children’s training, and other programs. We open whatever class makes money, completely market-oriented."

Xu Xiangbei stretched his limbs, suppressing his inner excitement, "If I become your consultant, can I come to work out anytime I want?"

"Of course, you would be the master here, Master Xu."

Through the glass partition, one could see a large group of women in Hall 2 striking tantalizing poses, Xu Xiangbei beamed with excitement, "Can I come practice yoga too?"

"Certainly, you are the master here."

Xu Xiangbei swallowed, "Who’s the yoga coach? It’s not you, is it?"

"No one is perfect; specialization is the skill, the yoga coach is naturally someone proficient in yoga, a Miss Phoebe from India."

Just hearing the name sparked imagination, though asking about her appearance seemed improper, Xu Xiangbei felt compelled to ask, "Brother Ouyang, is the yoga instructor pretty?"

Ouyang Yufei smiled faintly, "She’s as beautiful as a Bollywood movie star, having a distinct beauty different from us Oriental people."

Xu Xiangbei felt his bones were about to melt; being able to train with so many beautiful women while earning sixty thousand a year, could there be a better gig?

He happily agreed, "Alright, I agree, but I like my freedom, not restrictions. If there’s anything, just contact me by phone."

"Dr. Xu can come anytime, as per your schedule."

"Good, it’s settled then."

Ouyang Yufei’s eyes gleamed with excitement, "Dr. Xu, oh no, we should call you Coach Xu now. I hope we have the opportunity to spar and exchange insights on the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist in the future."
