My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome

Chapter 66: Chapter 65 If your sister-in-law finds out…

Seven days later, in the small grove behind Su City University.

Two bare-chested men were engaged in intense combat, more precisely, a strong man was unilaterally suppressing a young boy.

The strong man, about 185 cm tall, was muscular and imposing, moving his arms in wide, sweeping motions that exuded an unstoppable dominance.

His dark skin glistened with sweat, which splashed around with each punch, filled with a masculine energy .

The boy in front of him was Shao Zifeng, also shirtless, drenched in sweat, his gray sweatpants clinging to his thighs, probably wet enough to wring out water.

Chen Zhenglong bellowed, and threw a punch straight at Shao Zifeng’s face, his vein-bulging fist carrying a fierce wind, creating an intangible pressure.

Shao Zifeng slightly shifted his body, brushing against the wind of the punch as he charged into the strong man’s embrace, the punch wind grazing his skin, raising goosebumps, while he instinctively kicked at a certain spot.

For Shao Zifeng, these past days had been unbearably hard. He had initially wanted to simply learn some combat techniques but never expected Chen Yixing to find him a battle maniac.

At first meeting, he was like a fawning dog, agreeing to whatever Shao Zifeng asked. But once the fighting started, he seemed like a completely different person. If it weren’t for the Elemental Eggs healing him every night, he feared he wouldn’t have been able to continue.

He really couldn’t understand why someone like him, who relied on his brain for work, would get addicted to such a philosophical game.

But after getting hit, he just wanted to hit back; the sensation of fist to flesh was thrilling.

Thus, his improvement in fighting was also worth the sweat he shed.

In fact, after undergoing the “Bonding Reaction” for overall physical enhancement, whether it was fighting skills, reaction speed, or strength control, his speed of improvement was incredibly fast compared to ordinary people.

From being completely overwhelmed at the beginning, he was now able to catch flaws and mount limited counterattacks, just like now…

“Damn it, you’re playing dirty again,” Chen Zhenglong’s muscles bulged, he tightened his legs to withstand Shao Zifeng’s low blow, and simultaneously punched at Shao Zifeng’s crossed arms for protection.

Thump.

In the dull sound of collision, sweat flew wildly from both of them.

Shao Zifeng quickly retreated to diffuse this force, leaving a few wet footprints on the ground. His foot that had kicked Chen Zhenglong’s leg was also throbbing with pain.

Shao Zifeng had a mischievous smile on his face, “This is what you taught me; seize every opportunity to defeat the enemy.”

The battle paused slightly, Chen Zhenglong looked at the mischievously smiling boy in front of him, feeling very satisfied inside. Such a pace of progress was rare even when he was in the army.

Especially when he had started teaching Shao Zifeng, who had absolutely no foundation in fighting.

Well…now although still quite poor in skills, at least he was serious enough to make Chen truly focus.

But one thing annoyed him greatly, this boy was definitely not the simple youth he had first imagined, his fighting style was too cunning, employing any means to win.

Aside from this minor flaw, Chen Zhenglong valued Shao Zifeng’s persistence and resilience more; even after being consistently beaten up from start to finish, he would still be ready to show up the next day.

In today’s materially rich era, kids his age were either immersed in games and fun or focused primarily on their pets’ abilities, seldom buckling down to physically train themselves. Although relying on pets in fights is the main combat approach, prioritizing pets was not wrong.

Chen Zhenglong thought that strengthening one’s physical abilities while focusing on pets not only increased the compatibility during training but also maximized one’s chances of survival.

It was Shao Zifeng’s perseverance, willpower, and talent displayed that made Chen Zhenglong grow fonder of the boy over these days.

If he had a child, he would probably be around ten years old by now. Thinking of this, Chen Zhenglong’s gaze softened; truly worthy of being the boy I fancy…ahem, the boy I chose.

“Big Brother Chen, let’s continue,” Shao Zifeng moved his wrists, eager to try again.

Perhaps it was because of Chen Zhenglong’s straightforward and hearty nature that after these days of close interaction, he greatly respected his “big brother,” allowing him to occasionally show some of the youthful qualities of his age in front of Chen.

It could be said that aside from his mother and Qiuqiu, Chen Zhenglong was the only person he acknowledged. @@novelbin@@

“Not now, I still have some time this week, but I can’t come every day to train with you after that,” Chen Zhenglong turned around, took his coat hanging from a branch, put it on, and smiled back at Shao Zifeng: “The military boxing I taught you recently is enough for your self-defense, don’t neglect it.”

After all, Chen Zhenglong was the captain of Su City’s Abnormal Administration Bureau, and there were countless tasks waiting for him every day. Besides, coming to be a sparring partner was just for a chance to interact with Shao Zifeng; he couldn’t neglect his regular duties because of this.

After these days of interaction, he thought he understood the boy quite well.

His personality was aloof and sensitive with a strong sense of caution. Although he wasn’t as pure as imagined, he was definitely not a bad person.

As long as they could keep in touch in the future, he was confident he could pull Shao Zifeng back from those lunatics.

Truly worthy of being me.

Chen Zhenglong happily gave himself a thumbs up.

Upon hearing Chen Zhenglong’s words, Shao Zifeng suddenly felt somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that Chen couldn’t keep being his private trainer forever; that was made clear from the start.

Just as he was getting ready to put on his clothes and watch someone leave, Chen Zhenglong suddenly turned back, “But…Tonight, my sister-in-law has prepared a lavish dinner. How about we brothers have a drink?”

He flashed a broad smile, showing off a row of shiny white teeth, and gave Shao Zifeng a thumbs up.

A middle-aged man full of fiery energy.

Shao Zifeng rolled his eyes…

…

In the end, Shao Zifeng followed Chen Zhenglong to his home. As they passed a fruit shop, Shao Zifeng wanted to get off and buy some fruit, but Chen Zhenglong scolded him fiercely, saying as a poor student, how much money could he have and then giving him this lecture.

Shao Zifeng silently listened without arguing and checked his account balance, thinking that he should be quite rich… right?

The residential area where Chen Zhenglong’s house was located was near the old town, one of the earliest developed properties in the east side of the city.

The buildings weren’t new, showing some signs of wear from the years, and there were no elevators inside.

But in terms of infrastructure and greenery, compared to Shao Zifeng’s rented place, it was indeed much better.

After getting out of the car, Shao Zifeng followed behind Chen Zhenglong, still feeling a bit nervous. He respected Chen Zhenglong as a cheerful older brother, but his wife was still a stranger, and he felt somewhat uneasy about abruptly intruding.

“Kid, what’s wrong, scared even before you meet your sister-in-law? Relax, she’s a nice person.” Chen Zhenglong noticed Shao Zifeng was nervous. He slung his arm around Shao Zifeng’s neck, ruffled his hair vigorously, and made a mischievous face, hinting with a wink, “Though, if your sister-in-law knew where you sneak attack me every day, hehe…”

Wow, you

Even when I want to sneak attack, I never succeed.

Is it really appropriate to say these things directly to a pure-hearted young man?

Shao Zifeng struggled to break free from Chen Zhenglong’s arm, but eventually realized it was futile and resignedly allowed Chen Zhenglong to drag him up to the fifth floor.

Knock knock.

Chen Zhenglong, still holding Shao Zifeng so he couldn’t struggle, knocked on the door with his other hand.

“Who is it?”

A gentle female voice came from behind the door, soft and soothing, sounding very amiable.

The door opened, and Shao Zifeng found himself looking at a woman in her 30s dressed in beige home attire with an apron. She was petite, with fair skin, though fine lines at the corners of her eyes hinted she might be a bit older.

Her dark shoulder-length hair was casually tied up, with some bangs falling loosely, and her face wore a gentle smile.

Her features weren’t particularly delicate, but combined, they gave off a very comfortable vibe.

As Shao Zifeng observed her, she evaluated him too, having heard about this “little brother” from her husband so often that she felt she’d almost developed calluses on her ears.

Seeing him today, his appearance and build indeed seemed quite likable.

If only her child… Thinking of this, a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes.

“Sister-in-law.” Shao Zifeng called out respectfully.

He Juan snapped back to reality and replied; with a slightly reproachful tone, she dried her wet hands on her apron and lightly smacked her husband’s arm, “Behave yourself and let Zifeng go. Zifeng, I hope you don’t mind calling me sister-in-law?”

“What problem could there be? If this kid dares to object, I’ll break his legs,” Chen Zhenglong released Shao Zifeng, smacking his shoulder proudly as if boasting about his younger brother.

“Come in, the meal will be ready soon.” He Juan coquettishly glared at Chen Zhenglong, pulling Zifeng by the wrist into the house.

Shao Zifeng felt a flutter of panic and wanted to withdraw his arm, hesitated for a moment and then let her be.

He Juan had Shao Zifeng sit on the sofa. The gentle woman began bustling about, serving a plate of washed fruit and brewing tea, reminding Zifeng not to be shy, then she returned to the kitchen to continue her preparations.

Chen Zhenglong’s home was not very spacious, a modest but cozy two-bedroom set-up filled with a homey ambiance. From the living room, one could see a busy figure in the semi-open kitchen.

Shao Zifeng felt an unusual sense of relaxation.

“Hey, how is it, isn’t your sister-in-law easy to get along with?” Chen Zhenglong picked up a washed apple and handed it over, giggling mischievously.

“Yeah, it’s a pity about such a lovely flower,” Shao Zifeng replied, setting the apple aside and speaking earnestly.

Chen Zhenglong took an apple himself, rubbed it on his clothes, and took a bite, grinning. But the more he chewed on Shao Zifeng’s words, the more they seemed off. He glowered, raised his fist to strike, “You little brat, getting brave, daring to mock your…”

“Cough cough.”

Chen Zhenglong stopped mid-action, carefully turned his head, and found He Juan smiling at him.

Feeling intimidated, Chen Zhenglong smiled ingratiatingly at He Juan, quietly retracting the fist above Shao Zifeng’s head in a subservient manner.

Zifeng, seeing Chen Zhenglong cowed, let out a heartfelt laugh, feeling…

Pretty good actually.
