Chapter 22: Fishing and Getting Fished Back
Lizhi Yuhui was extremely talented, but when he was fifteen, his fame had not yet spread. In the eyes of many people, he was just a frivolous young man who had just started out.
The world is so big, he wants to go see it.
When he heard that the strongest race in the Fruit Kingdom was the Watermelon Clan, and that the Watermelon Clan had an outstanding young man with exceptional abilities named Watermelon Yueguang, he became extremely curious about this person and wanted to compete with him.
The distance from the Lychee Tribe to the Watermelon Tribe was far, and he had no money on him, so he could only walk.
He filled his stomach with wild fruits from the mountains and quenched his thirst with the lychee juice flowing from the pendant around his waist, and his life was extremely free and easy.
After less than ten days of walking, he became pale and thin, and his spirit was depressed. Although he was young, he gave off the air of someone who was about to die.
"Help me! Help! Who will help me stutter?!"
Lizhi Yuhui roared to the sky. Because of the taste problem of food, he starved himself into a refugee.
When he was about to break down in tears, the belated goddess of luck finally favored him.
A carriage appeared in front of them. The carriage was shaped like a cantaloupe, and the body was spotless. A few strands of gold edges could be faintly seen carved on it. Four horses were majestic, and the overall look exuded luxury. It was obvious that it was a carriage belonging to a wealthy family.
Lizhi Yuhui acted decisively, picked up a branch nearby, and threw it in front of the carriage, forcing it to stop.
When the carriage stopped moving, he quickly moved in front of it. The next second, he fell to the ground, half dead, waiting for someone to appear and start saving his life.
When the people inside got off the carriage, they saw a scary zombie-like figure slowly crawling towards them. The zombie had hungry eyes and was staring at them intently.
Hami Melon Henhuai and Watermelon Koshihikari: ...
This was the first encounter between the three of them. It was not a pleasant one, and even had a bit of a horror color. Within the horror color, there was also a hint of fraud.
——
At that time, Xigua Yueguang and Hami Gua Hehuai were only in their twenties. After discovering Litchi Yuhui's ability, the three of them decided to travel together.
Because Lizhi Yuhui was the youngest, the two took good care of him.
In addition, when they first met, Lizhi Yuhui's begging appearance was really impressive. Whenever she came across some fresh food, she couldn't help but feed him more.
In Lizhi Yuhui's eyes, Xigua Yueguang is a young man with a strong sense of justice. Although he comes from a privileged family, he does not bully others and treats everyone equally.
He watched as Watermelon Yueguang traveled almost the entire fruit kingdom, and when he encountered injustice, he stood up for justice and tried his best to help all the oppressed people.
Because of this, Xigua Yueguang offended many powerful people, was deliberately targeted, and was always hunted down by many people, both openly and covertly.
It is understood that the first time Hami Gua Hen Huai and Xigua Yue Guang met was when Xigua Yue Guang was on the run and Hami Gua Hen Huai happened to meet him passing by.
Originally, he planned to just stand by and watch without intervening, but when he found out that the person being hunted was the "famous" Xigua Yueguang, he decided to help.
"Is the name Watermelon Koshihikari useful? Did you help after you found out it was him?"
Lizhi Yuhui was very puzzled about this and couldn't help asking.
"That name certainly doesn't do anything for me."
Hamigua Henhuai smiled meaningfully and said, "But you wouldn't be interested in him?
A person who could obviously lie low in the upper class, but is willing to do his utmost to protect some small characters who are almost like ants, even at the cost of offending all the people in the upper class.
It would be fine if he knew anyone among those minor characters, but he didn't.
This person is like a mystery, and I have a strong curiosity about mysteries."
Hearing this, Lizhi Yuhui couldn't help but shiver.
Black-bellied! This person is black from the outside to the inside!
Hami Melon Hehuai also has an extraordinary origin. Although he cannot compare with the Watermelon Clan, the Hami Melon Clan is also a powerful clan that cannot be ignored.
Moreover, the situation of Hami melon is much worse than that of watermelon.
The Watermelon Clan has few descendants and pursues uprightness throughout their lives. As long as they have enough military force to convince the people, they will not do anything complicated, and there is not much competition for the position of clan leader.
The Hami Melon Clan is just the opposite. They have many offspring and believe in using any means necessary to achieve their goals. As the leader of the Hami Melon Clan and a strong candidate for the position of clan leader, Hami Melon Henhuai is a thorn in everyone's side.
Xigua Yueguang was hunted down because he offended the powerful, while Hami melon Henhuai was assassinated because he competed for power.
Lizhi Yuhui, who has been with them for a long time, was unfortunately implicated and was inexplicably hunted and assassinated. She was forced to use her martial arts to help them again and again.
The one who knew the truth was Lizhi Yuhui, who felt a hundred regrets and a thousand resentments in her heart.
When they first met, he thought he was lucky and caught a big fish, but he didn't know that he was the big fish that was caught.
"Xigua Yueguang, do you know what kind of person Hamigua Henhuai is?"
Lizhi Yuhui asked curiously.
After being together for so long, he found that Hamigua Henhuai was a man with many schemes and cruel methods.
It is hard to imagine how Xigua Yueguang, a person of high moral character and consistent words and deeds, could get along so harmoniously with Hami Gua Henhuai before he came into contact with these two people?
"Of course I do."
In response to Lizhi Yuhui's question, Xigua Yueguang responded very quickly, as if many people had already asked this question.
Lizhi Yuhui asked: "Then what do you think?"
Xigua Yueguang smiled and asked:
"Have you ever thought that Hamigua Henhuai is a cruel and ruthless person, and there is no trace of pure kindness in him.
So why would he do this with me, something that he considers meaningless and a waste of time?"
This question successfully stumped Lizhi Yuhui.
After a long while, he said stupidly:
"Isn't it because he's very interested in you?"
After hearing this, Xigua Yueguang was speechless for a moment. He raised his hand and slapped him hard on the back of the head.
"You little bastard! I told you not to read those random books on a daily basis! What kind of crap is filling your head with day after day?!
What I mean is, don’t be fooled by his superficial appearance, he is actually the same as me!
Just like you, we are extremely similar at our core.
So even though our personalities are actually different and our ways of doing things are vastly different, we are essentially the same kind of people!
Do you understand?! "
After being roared at, Lizhi Yuhui didn't understand at all, but under the pressure, he just nodded continuously to show that he understood!
"Have you ever thought about what your future partner will look like?"
Lizhi Yuhui quickly changed the subject, hoping that Xigua Yueguang would stop paying attention to him.
After saying this, even though Xigua Yueguang knew in his heart that Litchi Yuhui was just trying to avoid being beaten and scolded by him, he still couldn't help but blush instantly.
"My future partner must be a woman who can bring warmth to people like the sun."
Xigua Yueguang said awkwardly.
"Can you be more specific? That description is too general."
Lizhi Yuhui asked.
"Wouldn't it be more efficient to just have him take you to see her?"
Hamigua Hehuai's voice came suddenly. They turned around and saw Hamigua Hehuai standing far away in one of the trees. When he noticed their gazes, he raised his eyebrows with a teasing look in his eyes.
When Lizhi Yuhui heard this, he was happy.
"Are you saying that Xigua Yueguang already had a target?"
"Of course." Hamigua Hehuai raised the corner of his lips and said:
"He secretly writes letters every night and sends them via carrier pigeon when we're not paying attention. He always has a silly grin on his face while writing. Didn't you notice this?"
Lizhi Yuhui was dumbfounded and complained in disbelief:
"How could that be?! I always thought it was just his personal quirk. Maybe writing letters with a silly smile helps him think more actively."
After these words were spoken, Xigua Yueguang's anger, which had originally subsided, was ignited again, and this time he punched Litchi Yuhui on the back of the head.
"Can you think a little more normally?!"
Hami Melon Henhuai smiled faintly, and the look he gave Xigua Yueguang was full of undisguised sarcasm.
This look made Lizhi Yuhui's face turn red. He drew the Liuli Guangping sword at his waist and attacked Hami Guahenhuai.
Hamigua Hehuai remained calm and took the challenge calmly.
At the beginning, he was able to do it with ease, but as time went on, he suddenly felt something was wrong and the fight became increasingly difficult.
"clang--"
With just one moment of carelessness, Hamiguahenhuai was immediately thrown out by Lizhiyuhui's Liuliguangping sword.
The scene before their eyes shocked Hami Melon Henhuai and Watermelon Yueguang.
"When did you become so powerful?"
Xigua Yueguang lent a hand to Hamigua Henhuai, and when Hamigua Henhuai stood up, the two stood in front of Litchi Yuhui and asked in unison.
As soon as this question was asked, Lizhi Yuhui immediately showed a smug expression.
He felt around himself, then pulled out a coverless notebook and opened it page by page in front of them.
Hami Melon Henhuai and Watermelon Yueguang took a look and saw that it was full of records of weaknesses that would appear when fighting against others.
Among them, Watermelon Koshihikari has the most records, while Hami Melon Henhuai has relatively fewer records, but they also account for almost a quarter of the book.
"What's this?"
Hamigua Hehuai asked seriously.
"This is my summary after fighting with you."
Lizhi Yuhui didn't pay much attention to Hamigua Hehuai's rare seriousness, and continued to happily introduce his summary results of the past few years.
“Although my abilities were average before, every time I competed with others, I would try my best to observe the opponent’s flaws and weaknesses, and then write them all down in this notebook of mine.
However, even if you know the opponent's weaknesses, the huge gap in strength still makes it impossible to defeat the opponent.
So I have been waiting, and when my abilities improve, I will specifically test and attack the opponent's weaknesses.
You have the most contact with me, so my observation of you will be more meticulous. Among all my content, the information about you almost occupies two-thirds.
How about it, I’m awesome, right? "
Litchi Yuhui turned his head to look at the other person, his face full of an expression asking for praise, which made Xigua Yueguang feel sorry for him. He wanted to say something several times but stopped himself and couldn't open his mouth.
Hami melon is much more direct.
He looked at Lizhi Yuhui with a smile and greeted her warmly:
"Is this the only one? Do you have any more? Let me see how much you've grown."
"Of course." Litchi Yuhui was completely unaware of Hamigua Henhuai's abnormal attitude, and took out all his previous record books for them to see.
Hami melon nodded as if satisfied, praising him crazily from time to time.
The next second, a pile of cantaloupe seeds suddenly appeared behind him, and in front of Lizhi Yuhui, they attacked the notebooks with a "bang bang bang" sound, completely destroying them.
"Confiscate it and don't write it again."
Hami Melon Henhuai looked at Litchi Yuhui with a smile and said softly.
