The village belle, Chapter 773: A woman who understands human speech? Chapter 773: A woman who understands human speech? A grudge born of a single touch—truly, nothing short of astonishing. Wang Shiyu’s words left Lu Yun utterly stunned. After all, such a remark should have been beyond her reach. Could it be that she had something special for him? What’s she thinking about now, smiling so wickedly? Wang Shiyu saw Lu Yun's mischievous smile and knew immediately that he wasn't thinking of anything good. "Of course," Lu Yun said with confidence, "since we're here to settle scores, let's settle all the old grudges at once—let's wrap it up in one go." Wang Shiyu chuckled and replied, "Then let's agree on that. If you still can't beat me by the time it comes, I'll make good on my own complaint—the time you accidentally bumped my back earlier." Lu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it was clear that the girl had cleverly ensnared him in a well-prepared trap. Fortunately, he had ample time—once he perfected his techniques, especially his punching style, he'd have no trouble handling the Korean taekwondo athletes. Lu Yun grinned and asked, "Shiyu, if I lose, what will you do?" Wang Shiyu thought for a moment and replied, "If you lose, just stand there quietly and let me kick something bad right under you." "By being so cruel—though I've never taken the Japanese-style taekwondo of the棒子 country seriously, especially with its infamous 'bird droppings'—being literally kicked hard enough to the point that unless I've mastered the iron-plate technique from the Shaolin Temple, Wang Shiyu could easily snap my foot bones with a single kick, sending a forceful blow straight into my own vital organs. That would either kill me or leave me with lifelong disabilities. What a beautiful woman! How about the beautiful women around me? However, when Land Yun recalled his own feat of breaking a willow tree with a single punch, his confidence immediately surged. Even if his martial arts weren't fully refined, he believed that during their duel, his character would shine through—his one punch would be enough. Suddenly, Land Yun felt a bit cruel. With just that one punch's strength, it seemed no part of Wang Shiyu's body could withstand it. 'Could we not find another way to settle this score? This is truly too cruel. What if you actually fall in love with me? Then, one more kick and I'll become a eunuch—what a hardship that would be for you!' Land Yun pursed his lips "Lu Yun protested with dissatisfaction. Wang Shiyu smiled softly, "You're nothing but a heartless, flower-loving cabbage! You've already got the class president, yet you're still making eye contact with Fei Yan—how can you still be a heartless, flower-loving cabbage?" "Come on, my lifelong dream is big! Believe me, I'll definitely take you in and make you my girlfriend!" "You're dreaming," Wang Shiyu firmly declined. "If you're so stubborn, then let's just ride donkeys and go through the ledger—let's see just how far I can drag you into that little forest. The two of them kept exchanging sharp remarks, and Wang Shiyu seemed genuinely excited—this was the first time since coming here that she'd held her own in a verbal sparring match with Lu Yun. Her competitive spirit had driven her to forget about reviewing the lesson content, fully focused instead on the battle of words with Lu Yun. As the intensity of their exchange grew, the battle reached a boiling point. Wang Shiyu, who had been steadily pressing Lu Yun without success, even found herself gaining the upper hand, and thus, lost her patience, exclaiming, "Don't get too confident yet—when I truly unleash my strength, you'll see just how formidable I am. I'll completely wipe out your life force—nothing difficult about that!" Lu Yun responded with equal determination, retorting, "Do you really think you'll always win?" "Why not? Why don't we try it right now?" Wang Shiyu stared at Lu Yun with an air of confidence, as if she were ready to strike right now and immediately knock him out. Lu Yun was pushed into a corner by Wang Shiyu's single sentence, opening his mouth to respond, only for his younger brother to react before he could utter a word—tapping his crotch twice with a steady rhythm, as though signaling: Brother, with your current lackluster skills, if you're going to fight this young girl, I'm going to have to leave you behind completely. Lu Yun was startled, instantly regaining his composure, thinking: Good heavens, I haven't even said a word yet, and you're already protesting! Are you suggesting I surrender to this young girl? Luyun’s younger brother seemed like a divine being, able to intuit his thoughts perfectly. After tapping twice in a steady rhythm, he established a connection with Luyun: "Brother, remember—small patience leads to great strategy. Once you’ve refined your skills, handling this young girl will be as easy as a piece of cake. Then I’ll lend a hand to give her a good lesson, so she’ll understand what true male authority looks like. Of course, that authority will have to be demonstrated by me. Hey, you’re taking over my lines and even my dinner table—how can I possibly still call you my brother? If you’re going to act all proud, you’ll still have to rely on me to earn your place!" Wang Shiyu noticed Lu Yun remained silent for a long time, assuming he was afraid of her leg techniques and naturally decided to deliver a psychological blow to him. "Little brother, the girl's asking you questions right now—don't answer her, please! Your happiness, and even your brother's happiness, all depend on your one decision. I'm off now—make sure you find a girl today and soak yourself, I'm starting to feel a bit dry!" "Roll over, be careful—you might dry out completely!" Lu Yun laughed, then opened his eyes and smiled gently at Wang Shiyu. "Shiyu, it's not that I'm afraid of you. Right now, I have something important to attend to, so I can't fight you yet. Do you understand?" "Wang Shiyu smiled and covered her mouth. 'Why bother learning from the Japanese when we're already Chinese? It's just fear—some absurd excuse to make up to keep me waiting. Fine, I'll wait until you've perfected your techniques before we go to battle.' Tapping lightly, Wang Shiyu's words had barely finished when Lu Yun's younger brother leapt excitedly, as if thrilled. If it weren't for Lu Yun's quick hand, covering him earlier, Wang Shiyu would have definitely noticed. Honestly, can you really understand people when you speak? Lu Yun felt utterly defeated—realizing now that he had to be careful about what he said. With someone so capable of understanding human conversation around, wouldn't every word he said eventually end up being heard by him when trying to woo new girlfriends?" "Man, I think you've got to calm down a bit. There's a pretty fierce woman right by your side—ever since you've been acting so restless, she might think I'm harboring some ill feelings toward you. She might even kick you right in the face. Don't come crying when it happens!" Lu Yun thought to himself... Rural Beauty 773, Characters who understand human conversation? Update complete!
