I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

Chapter 962 Rain Falls in Plum Blossoms ~ Grass and Trees Grow in My Old Home ~

Because of Fang Wuwei's interruption, Yuta and Rikka's date plan was ruined and completely failed.

Not to mention that the battle with the Abyss Gods has dragged on until so late, far exceeding expectations, and the two of them hadn't booked any activities in advance, so they couldn't go anywhere. Just considering the commotion Fang Wuwei had just caused, they probably wouldn't even be able to enjoy shopping now. So they decided not to go out, and the date would have to be postponed until tomorrow.

This made Yuta even more unhappy, and he punched Fang Wuwei a few more times while he was beating him up, to vent his anger.

Shortly after, Rikka received a call from Touka, asking if something had happened to Fang Wuwei, and why the fire in her cooking had flown up to the sky and stood shoulder to shoulder with the sun. Maki also received a call from her parents, asking similar questions to Touka.

After receiving an affirmative answer and learning that Fang Wuwei had acquired an additional position as the God of Fire, Toka and the Ikeuchi couple fell silent. Soon after, the Ikeuchi couple paid them a visit, and not long after that, Toka also arrived.

The commotion today was so big that the Ikeuchi couple didn't even hold their own ceremony at home. Toka also left work early because of this, and now that they have free time and nothing else to do, they came over to look for her. Toka even used this as an excuse to turn down a suitor's date request.

Then, as soon as they arrived, they saw Yuta straddling Fang Wuwei, unleashing a barrage of Pegasus Meteor Fist attacks, each punch delivered with a fierce, toothy grind, landing squarely on the skin.

The Ikeuchi couple: ......

Toka:......

What the hell is this?

Such an epileptic scene immediately shut down the minds of the three of them, and then they were dragged to the next hall by the incessantly laughing Maki Ikeuchi.

Because Fang Wuwei had broken the window, cold wind kept blowing in, so Tushou and the others simply moved to another place to play. Anyway, Tushou Manor was very large, and there were still many empty halls and rooms.

As for these two...

Let them fight. We can talk about other things after they're done. Look at Yuta, he's got a bloodlust. I doubt anyone could talk to him and get through to him.

This inhumane one-sided beating lasted for a full half hour. During that half hour, Yuta rode on Fang Wuwei's back the whole time, swinging his arms left and right like a Platinum Star, frantically whipping Fang Wuwei, trying to kill him along with his deceased mother.

During those half hour, Fang Wuwei did not fight back at all. At first, when he got angry, he would curse a couple of times, but when he found that Yongtai was even more angry than him, he stopped talking and silently endured the beating while holding his head.

While Fang Wuwei was getting slapped repeatedly, the others were playing their own games in the next hall. Dekomori Matsuo and the Ikeuchi couple were talking about the fire god, while Toka was quietly listening to the legend of the fire god while watching Rikka and the others having a great time.

Since realizing that magic truly exists, Touka is no longer the same as before, annoyed by Rikka's chuunibyou antics. Before, she worried about Rikka's future and life, fearing she'd neglect her studies and be unable to face reality, indulging in fantasies all day. Now...

At worst, Rikka can go and seek refuge with Fang Wuwei in the future. If nothing unexpected happens, Rikka can still call Fang Wuwei her uncle...

Thinking of this, Shihua's lips curled up slightly, but she quickly suppressed it, as if it had never happened.

Half an hour later, the commotion next door gradually subsided. A moment later, Yuta, panting and covered in sweat, pushed open the living room door and collapsed onto the sofa, breathing heavily.

"Roar, the corrupt and evil Dark Flamebringer has returned, death."

"Get out of here, I'm not in the mood to play with you right now."

"Hmph! That damned death!"

Yuta was very irritable. He pushed away the laughing Tokomaru who was leaning close to his head, glanced at the water on the table, and, feeling parched, grabbed it and drank it all in one gulp.

"What about the East?"

Dansheng Valley peeked into the doorway, but there was no movement in the distance. She had assumed that Yuta had returned, and Fang Wuwei would follow him...

"You killed him?"

"...What you're saying..."

Yuta gave her a disapproving look, panting heavily as he searched for water in the room, appearing very tired.

"Finally, I've had enough..."

Maki Ikeuchi watched Yuta's appearance from the side, unable to hide her smile. She glanced at the wall with a grin, as if trying to see Fang Wuwei's miserable state next door through the wall.

"I'm so tired of laughing, you two have finally had enough..."

The thought that Fang Wuwei had likely been beaten and humiliated the whole time made Maki Ikeuchi want to laugh again, but because there were many people around, including Shoha, she couldn't laugh out loud. Otherwise, if Shoha said something, she wouldn't be the one laughing.

"We weren't done playing, we were just tired."

Yuta let out a long sigh, took out a bottle of drink, and looked around while drinking. Only then did he finally notice Takanashi Toka sitting with the adults.

"Sister Shi... Sister Shihua..."

"Hmm, what happened?"

Toka nodded slightly, still with that aloof expression, and then began to ask about other things. Seeing this, Yuta also calmed down a bit and began to tell Toka what had just happened, recounting everything that had happened that night, the subjugation and battle in the abyss, in detail.

Others gradually gathered around.

When Fang Wuwei recounted the events before, he omitted many details about the interior of the abyss. Now that Yongtai, as the physical body of the Dark Flame Dragon God and an observer of the entire battle in the abyss, is about to give his account, they are naturally filled with curiosity.

But Zhangye was clearly not interested in this. She just looked at Yuta, who was unharmed and looked full of energy, and after confirming that he was alright, she slipped away, quietly got up, and went to the next hall.

Peeking over, I saw Fang Wuwei lying on the ground, one hand behind his head and the other holding his phone, leisurely scrolling through something.

"Oh, camphor leaves."

Hearing the noise, Fang Wuwei was about to put his phone away, but when he looked up, he saw that it was Zhang Ye. He simply stopped pretending and just lay on the ground, refusing to get up, which was a bit strange.

Zhang Ye squatted down beside Fang Wuwei, cupped his face and examined it carefully from left to right. Her brows furrowed slightly. There was indeed some dust on his face, but his skin was smooth. There wasn't even a red mark, let alone bruises. Then she took out her handkerchief and gently wiped the dust off Fang Wuwei's face.

“You seem alright,” she said softly, “just a little dirty…”

"Yeah, it's nothing." Fang Wuwei let her wipe him, smiling and squinting his eyes. "If it's dirty... well, there's nothing I can do. After being pinned to the ground and whipped for half an hour, how could it not be dirty?"

He remained lying still, smiling as he enjoyed the camphor leaves wiping away the dust with their small hands.

"Are you really alright? Why have you been lying down?"

To be honest, Zhangye was a little worried. Yuta had really gotten angry just now. His punches were so powerful that they made Zhangye and Rikka's hearts jump. He had given them a thorough beating, and it had lasted for a full half hour...

Fang Wuwei simply smiled.

"To be honest... Yuta beat him up for half an hour..."

"Ah."

"It's not breached."

"Ok?"

As he spoke, Fang Wuwei shook his head slightly, propped himself up on the ground, stretched, and then lay back down, resting his arms under his head, looking quite content.

"He's just a mortal. Even if he did use magic, let alone not use it, I could lie still and not defend myself for half an hour and still not break through my physical defenses."

"Then... then why are you lying down the whole time...?"

"You have to put on an act. If he knew that I had been elbowing him for half an hour without even breaking his defense, he would probably be even angrier... If I hadn't found out it was you just now, I would probably still be pretending to be so dizzy that I couldn't get up. Now... you should go back and comfort your brother. He is indeed in the right... The pain of being beaten so badly is not pleasant."

"Oh...ah, speaking of which, when you were getting hit just now, Maki was laughing her head off the whole time, rolling around in the air while laughing, and she was even planning to record it..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

At the same time, Maki Ikeuchi, who was listening to Yuta recount the details, suddenly felt a chill run through her body. She turned around abruptly and looked around, only to find that Camphor Leaf was nowhere to be seen. Her face turned pale.
