Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

"So what if I said it? What are you gonna do, motherfucker, hit me?" Cang Yunhao swallowed hard, then sneered with contempt. "Let me tell you, in my, Cang Yunhao's, eyes, you're just a piece of shit. If I give you face, you can stay in East Sea. If I don't, you'd have to get the hell out of East Sea right now!"

"Oh, really?" Zhao Dong's laugh rang out.

"Yes, wha—"

Before he could finish his word, SMACK! A crisp slap echoed through the room.

Cang Yunhao's body spun like a top, turning a full three hundred and sixty degrees before coming to a stop.

Zhao Dong dusted his hands off, saying coolly, "I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

"Zhao Dong, you… you dare hit me?" Cang Yunhao clutched his face, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.

SMACK!

Zhao Dong swung another slap, sending Cang Yunhao flying once more.

Then, a rapid series of slaps resounded. SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! Soon, Cang Yunhao's face was swollen like a pig's head.

Zhao Dong slapped him an untold number of times before kicking him away. "If you're ever itching for a beating again, just let me know."

The restaurant patrons had long since been scared witless by the scene and had already fled outside.

At that moment, the restaurant's door was pushed open, and a graceful figure walked in. The newcomer was none other than Song Zixuan of the Kunlong Division.

Song Zixuan was dressed in a purple Kunlong Division uniform. Her stunning face was filled with coldness, and the beauty mark between her brows added an extra touch of pure beauty to her already captivating features.

She had been patrolling outside when she saw a crowd of people run out of the restaurant. Instinctively sensing something was wrong, she decided to investigate, only to find Zhao Dong beating someone!

"Stop!" Song Zixuan's expression changed. She immediately rushed over to block Zhao Dong, demanding angrily, "Zhao Dong, who gave you permission to cause a disturbance in a public place? Do you really think the Kunlong Division is a pushover?"

Zhao Dong looked over, not expecting to see Song Zixuan. He replied with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Miss Song, you've misunderstood. This son of a bitch was asking for a beating. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage."

Hearing this, Song Zixuan glanced at Cang Yunhao, who was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.

Cang Yunhao's face was covered in blood. Knowing he was in the wrong, how could he dare to explain? The fact that Song Zixuan had appeared, saving him from any further beating, was the best possible outcome.

Cang Yunhao clenched his jaw, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and ran to the doorway. He turned and snarled venomously at Zhao Dong, "Zhao Dong! You just wait! If I don't kill you, then I'm not a man!"

"Sure, I'll be waiting," Zhao Dong said calmly, his tone dismissive.

After Cang Yunhao left, Xu Qingyue sighed heavily from the side. "Zhao Dong, I really didn't expect it to come to this..."

"It's okay. It's not your fault," Zhao Dong reassured her.

Xu Qingyue gave a wry smile. "Thank you for understanding, but the Cang Family and my Xu family have a lot of business dealings. Sometimes my hands are tied. I still have to go check on Cang Yunhao..."

"No worries, go ahead."

"Yeah..." Xu Qingyue could only nod awkwardly, then grabbed her purse and hurried out after Cang Yunhao.

Once the farce concluded, Song Zixuan frowned at Zhao Dong, her displeasure obvious. "Zhao Dong, are you free right now? I have something to discuss with you."

Zhao Dong was about to refuse, given their previous unpleasant encounters. On second thought, however, it might be something important. With that in mind, he nodded. "Alright, let's go."

Song Zixuan gave Zhao Dong a deep look before turning and walking out the door.

Afterward, the two went to a nearby teahouse. They took their seats, and tea was served.

Song Zixuan's elegant hand picked up a celadon cup. Her red lips took a delicate sip, leaving a trace of red lipstick on the white porcelain rim. It had to be said that Song Zixuan's beauty was absolutely top-tier, utterly captivating.

Song Zixuan's voice slowly rose. "Zhao Dong, I'm very curious. How did you manage to offend Kou Hongmin?"

Zhao Dong was startled for a moment, then replied indifferently, "I have some friction with Hong Wu. Kou Hongmin is one of his men."

Song Zixuan narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Are you aware that there are people within the Kunlong Division who have a major problem with you?"

"Who?" Zhao Dong asked.

"Commander Sun Feichen and Commander Li Fjun."

Song Zixuan fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Hong Wu bribed both of them with a hefty sum. That's why they're teaming up to plot against you. You'd better be careful around those two."

Zhao Dong looked at Song Zixuan in surprise. "You're also with the Kunlong Division, and you and I have had our disagreements. Why are you telling me this?"

Song Zixuan smiled and shrugged. "It's true I find you annoying, but that's as far as it goes. Sun Feichen and Li Fjun, however, are another matter. They're members of the Kunlong Division, representatives of the law. Yet they collude with someone like Hong Wu, a man involved with the underworld. They're absolute scum, the lowest of the low! I'm only warning you because I can't stand by and watch it happen."

Zhao Dong was taken aback, and his gaze softened slightly as he looked at her. Though Song Zixuan had a temper, she was forthright and principled. A person like that was worth befriending. This was also an important piece of information; now he knew who in the Kunlong Division had a grudge against him. And since Song Zixuan was also from the Kunlong Division, she was definitely worth getting to know...

Thinking of this, Zhao Dong took a pill from an inner pocket and handed it to Song Zixuan. "Here, take it."

Song Zixuan looked up, startled. "What's this?"

Zhao Dong smiled faintly. "Regardless of our previous conflicts, I'm truly grateful you came to warn me. This is a Qi Blood Pill. It can dramatically increase the combat strength of a grievously injured person for a short time. Take it."

"What!?" Song Zixuan was stunned. She gazed at the pill in shock, finally stammering, "You... you're giving me such a precious pill?"

"It's not that precious. I'm always generous with my friends," Zhao Dong said sincerely.

Song Zixuan's eyes burned with intensity. She looked deeply at Zhao Dong, then slowly reached out and accepted the pill.

"In that case, I won't be polite. Thank you! I'm truly grateful!" Song Zixuan said from the heart.

The ability to let a severely injured person unleash their full power for a short time… what did that even mean? In short, imagine you're in a battle where both sides are gravely injured. Then you take a Qi Blood Pill and are suddenly back at full strength! Isn't that the ultimate weapon for turning the tables?

Zhao Dong smiled. "Alright, it's getting late. Thank you for the warning. I have other things to do, so I'll be heading back."

"Oh... okay!" Song Zixuan bit her lip and suddenly said, "Zhao Dong, wait."

Zhao Dong paused, stopping in his tracks. "What is it?"

Song Zixuan hesitated for a few seconds, her face reddening. "Good luck tomorrow... I hope you win!"

Zhao Dong was momentarily stunned, then smiled. "Thanks!"

Without any further pleasantries, Zhao Dong left, leaving Song Zixuan standing there alone in a daze.

Looking at the pill, Song Zixuan's annoyance with Zhao Dong completely vanished, replaced by a profound sense of gratitude. As a member of the Kunlong Division, she often encountered dangerous situations. This Qi Blood Pill was practically a second chance at life!

「After returning home.」

Zhao Dong immediately went into closed-door cultivation, preparing wholeheartedly for the next day's contest. Even though Zhao Dong was now quite confident, Kou Hongmin was no pushover! He had to seize every moment to make his final improvements!

The night passed without incident. Finally, a new day dawned on East Sea City.
