HPDBC Chapter 758 Angel Xi!
Chapter 758 Angel Xi!
"Captain Xi." Lu Shi, having completed an extra five laps on his own initiative, stood panting in front of him.
Xi Mo gave a slight nod.
Skinny Monkey was sitting under a nearby tree, enjoying the shade. He glanced around and wondered aloud, "Where did the boss and the others go?"
Just then, Zhouzhou's voice rang out.
"Uncle!"
In the next second, a small bundle of energy dashed over, wrapping around Xi Mo's leg and clinging to it like a koala, snuggling affectionately.
Xi Mo bent down slightly, patting her little head. Hearing other footsteps approaching, he turned his head.
Dou Qiang and his group limped over, with Xiang Chong following behind, gloating, "I told you, my boss is really something. You didn't listen, did you? Well, how's it feel now? Got beaten up, huh?"
Dou Qiang and his companions were bruised and battered, unable to express their frustration.
They thought that Zhouzhou asking them to join in fighting her together was a provocation. Little did they know, it was the plain truth--she was looking out for them.
Despite the group's combined effort, they were left in such a sorry state. If Zhouzhou had actually targeted just one of them, they would have been completely annihilated.
Dou Qiang shuddered at the thought, still in awe and respect for Zhouzhou. She was incredibly strong, beyond imagination.
Xi Mo looked at them, showing no surprise. He was well aware of Zhouzhou's strength.
Zhouzhou, with a hint of pride, hopped down from Xi Mo's leg, placed her hands on her little hips, and declared, "Uncle, I did all this!"
She then turned to Dou Qiang and the others, shaking her tiny fist and asking, "You all lost, so what should you do?"
At this, Dou Qiang and his group exchanged awkward glances. After a moment of contemplation, they seemed to reach a decision, closing their eyes, taking a deep breath, and in unison, shouted at Xi Mo, "Greeting, Angel!"
Even someone as composed as Xi Mo was momentarily stunned.
His eyes darkened, and he shot a sharp glare at them, "What did you just call me?"
Seeing his reaction, Dou Qiang and the others weren't intimidated anymore. Dou Qiang grinned widely, revealing his teeth.
"This is an agreement between me and little Zhouzhou. If we lost, we promised to stop calling you 'demon' and start calling you 'angel.'"
Xi Mo stiffened, looking down at Zhouzhou.@@@@
Zhouzhou was proudly displaying her victory, like a peacock flaunting its feathers, with a satisfied expression.
She waved her tiny paw grandly and said, "No need to thank me, Uncle! This is what I should do!"
Xi Mo: "..." Thanks a lot.
He wondered what he had done to deserve this--being called an angel by a group of men.
With that thought, he quickened his pace.
Half an hour later, Dou Qiang and the others finished their run.
Their walkie-talkies buzzed at this moment.
Xi Mo's calm voice, tinged with more menace than usual, came through, "Report to Training Ground No. 1."
He hung up decisively.
Dou Qiang wanted to laugh, but quickly found he couldn't anymore.
Looking at the training levels in Training Ground No. 1, his face turned pale with fear.
There were ten training grounds, each with different training projects and levels: simple, moderate, difficult, and hellish.
They usually did the difficult mode in Training Ground No. 1, which was already tough enough.
But today, it was hellish mode!
This had to be Xi Mo taking personal revenge!
Zhouzhou, unaware of the situation, blinked her big, round eyes.
At this point, Xi Mo emerged and directed them to change into training outfits.
He also led Zhouzhou to a changing room and helped her into a specially tailored mini training suit.
Putting on the little helmet, Xi Mo looked at her chubby face wrapped inside with mixed feelings of affection and frustration.
Finally, he pinched her cheek, feeling some of his frustration ease.
Xi Mo said, "Zhouzhou, the first challenge is sensory training: vision, smell, taste, hearing, and touch."
"The first challenge is touch training. There are infrared rays everywhere, and if you touch them, they'll trigger traps that will attack you. You need to avoid the infrared rays and pass through quickly."
"Don't be scared. If you can't handle it, just call out for Uncle."
"Okay." Zhouzhou nodded her little head, unafraid, and patted her little bag.
"Uncle doesn't need to worry! I have an Invisibility Talisman."
As long as she was invisible and couldn't be sensed, she'd be fine!
Zhouzhou patted her head, thinking she was really smart.
However, Xi Mo just gave her a meaningful look without speaking.
Is that so?
