Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 184: New Era Women

What was surprising was that after the two Iron Gall collided, they suddenly changed their original straight trajectory and grazed Gu Xiangyi’s fair arm, smashing towards the green bamboo on either side.

As the two shining Iron Galls flew by, Gu Xiangyi felt two gusts of wind brush past her, and although it didn’t hurt at all, it still terrified her.

With a boom, the two sturdy bamboo stalks were smashed to pieces by the Iron Gall, sending splinters flying.

Gu Xiangyi let out a scream, and with a flick of his fingers, Ouyang Yufei had the two Iron Gall return steadily to his palm.

He smiled confidently and said, "Did I scare Miss Gu? Don’t worry, I’ve been practicing for years, never missed once, I won’t hit you."

Gu Xiangyi awkwardly laughed twice, her heart still racing, and hurried to Xu Xiangbei’s side. Instinctively, being next to Xu Xiangbei felt the safest after he had saved her more than once.

Ouyang Yufei continued to explain to Xu Xiangbei, "The rings can also be placed on two fingers. Sometimes, when switching between the left and right hands, the rings need to be quickly transferred from one finger to another, which requires considerable mastery in basic skills. If you want to master our Ouyang family’s Dual-Flying Iron Gall, it’ll take at least a year to perfect."

Hearing the sound of the Iron Gall and Gu Xiangyi’s scream, Ouyang Jiahui curiously walked over.

Seeing Ouyang Yufei teaching Xu Xiangbei how to use the Dual-Flying Iron Gall, she was surprised and asked, "Third uncle, why are you teaching our family’s secret skills to him?"

"Haha, Doctor Xu is a miracle worker who saved the old man’s life. He’s also our martial arts hall’s coach. The old man allowed him to study Dragon Tiger Divine Fist and the Dual-Flying Iron Gall with us. The version of Dragon Tiger Divine Fist he adapted is even more powerful."

Ouyang Jiahui was wide-eyed and didn’t believe it: "He’s so young, around my age, and he’s the coach at your Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Hall? Also a miracle doctor? Can he really be that capable? You’re not pulling my leg, are you?"

The old man Ouyang Zhan came over, laughing, "Doctor Xu indeed has this capability. Would your grandfather and third uncle deceive you?"

Still holding a grudge about her hair, Ouyang Jiahui stared defiantly at Xu Xiangbei.

"Even if everything my grandfather said is true, I’m still not convinced by you. You can only bully girls, never a true gentleman."

Xu Xiangbei bared his teeth with a smile: "What’s the use of being a gentleman? Is it worth a lot? Better to be a samurai, come to Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Hall tomorrow, I’ll teach you how to fight."

Ouyang Jiahui shook her head like a rattle: "Even if my third uncle wants to teach me, I wouldn’t want to learn. Why should I let you teach? It’s none of my business if the dog catches the mouse."

Xu Xiangbei bantered back: "I’m not a dog, and you’re not a mouse."

As the two quarreled, second uncle Ouyang Yujian, wearing a chef’s suit, walked over to inform everyone that the food was ready and invited them to take a seat in the dining room.

Ouyang Yufei told Xu Xiangbei, "Jiahui was spoiled by her grandfather since childhood. Our Ouyang family only has this one precious daughter from the eldest brother, and our whole family dotes on her."

"Why not teach her Dragon Tiger Fist?"

"She says the new era doesn’t value fighting. She wants to be a modern woman and isn’t interested in learning martial arts at all."

Lunch was quite lavish, filling a whole table with dishes, but Ouyang Jiahui ate very little, still recovering her appetite after drinking too much the previous night.

Seeing his granddaughter eat little, the old man assumed she was trying to lose weight and personally put a piece of braised pork in her bowl, affectionately saying, "Jiahui, you’ve lost a lot of weight. Eat some meat. Don’t follow others in dieting, it will harm your health."

Ouyang Jiahui smiled and put that piece of meat into her second uncle’s bowl: "I’m not dieting, just don’t have the appetite and don’t want to eat oily food."

"Then have some fresh scallop and bamboo shoot soup, it’s nourishing and good for the stomach. Have a bowl."

"I can’t drink it."

The old man sighed and said to the second son Ouyang Yujian, "After dinner, have someone tidy up the guest room for Jiahui to stay."

Ouyang Yujian was about to agree when Ouyang Jiahui shook her head: "No, I won’t stay at home."

The old man’s face turned serious: "As a young lady, not staying at home, do you plan on staying at a hotel instead?"

"I wouldn’t stay in a hotel. As a girl, staying in a hotel is very unsafe."

Not knowing what her granddaughter was up to, the old man asked puzzledly, "If you won’t stay in a hotel and won’t come home, then where will you stay?"

Ouyang Jiahui’s eyes rolled, a cunning smile appeared on her face as she quietly eyed Xu Xiangbei. Sensing trouble, Xu Xiangbei thought, what’s this girl planning, best to avoid provoking her.

Xu Xiangbei pretended to focus only on his food, eating fresh lobster meat and praised endlessly, "So delicious, with delicate texture, fresh and soft, second brother’s cooking skills are impressive."

Ouyang Jiahui suddenly said, "I want to stay at Doctor Xu’s house, live with Sister Gu."

Pfft, Xu Xiangbei almost choked, nearly spitting out the lobster meat in his mouth. This girl actually wants to infiltrate my home, could it be some plot?

He quickly said, "That’s not very convenient. The second floor is where Gu Xiangyi and Gu Xinyan, the two sisters, live. Both rooms are already taken. The third floor is where I, a man, stay. Although there’s an empty room, it’s not suitable for a girl to stay, really not suitable."

His refusal didn’t gain support from Gu Xiangyi.

Gu Xiangyi wiped her mouth with a napkin, looking gleefully at Xu Xiangbei, "Actually, I think it’s a good idea. Doctor Xu is a good person, staying there is definitely safe. My sister has never been able to walk and needs a wheelchair. Since sharing the villa with Doctor Xu, he has been very enthusiastic in treating her illness, and she has already been able to stand up. Although she can only take a few steps now, we have hope, all thanks to Doctor Xu."

On the surface, Gu Xiangyi seemed to praise Xu Xiangbei, but he felt there was a hidden jab in her words - ’a good person’, ’very enthusiastic’, which sounded awkward.

Hearing that there was another sister living in the villa, Ouyang Jiahui looked excited and curious, "Oh, you have another sister. Isn’t it fun for you three to live together?"

"It is fun, but Doctor Xu often doesn’t stay there. He’s a busy man."

"I’ve decided, I’ll stay at your place. Anyway, I won’t be staying long. At most a week before I must return to Earth Sea for work. Doctor Xu, is that alright? If you want to charge me rent, that’s fine too."

Xu Xiangbei bitterly smiled in his heart, Gu Xiangyi, what are you up to? This girl wants to stay at Spring Villa, who knows what’s on her mind? It’s definitely not a good thing.

He glanced at Ouyang Zhan’s family for help, the old man shook his head, keeping his head down while sipping soup, as if telling him, he simply couldn’t control this granddaughter. If she wanted to stay at your place, let her.

Ouyang Yufei returned a helpless look, as if to say, her grandfather can’t control her, as an uncle, I’m even less capable.

Ouyang Yujian maintained a gentle smile on his face, signaling that he was powerless in this matter, don’t ask me, brother, it’s up to you to handle it.
