Recently, my inner strength has improved a lot, and I haven’t had a chance to test my fists and kicks. It’s said that Huang Xin excels in all aspects.

Gu Xiaoxi stared at Huang Xin as if she had spotted an eye-catching opponent, thinking, "How about taking him on for a few moves?"

Yet the look in Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes made Huang Xin shiver.

The expression on her face was terrifying, like she had discovered a treasure, her eyes gleaming. He felt like he was being calculated.

Huang Xin felt uneasy and quickly turned to leave, especially when Gu Xiaoxi was with her dog. If she wanted to bully him, wouldn’t that be a victory by numbers for her?

Seeing Huang Xin attempting to slip away, Gu Xiaoxi let out a chuckle, "Freeze!"

Her tone was chilling, and she unceremoniously called out, "Huang Xin, I heard that Flying Tiger has achieved remarkable feats even before officially joining the Special Forces. Your excellent guidance must have played a part, so no matter what, you are a qualified dog trainer. I hear you’re preparing to join the Special Forces? "

"Why should I tell you!" Huang Xin stepped back a few paces, glaring at Gu Xiaoxi warily. Although the woman in front of him seemed harmless, she gave him a dangerous vibe.

"Your reaction just confirms my guess! Don’t worry, I have no animosity towards you or Flying Tiger.

But if you have any against me and do something unpleasant, even if you’re a comrade, I won’t hold back.

Take good care of your Flying Tiger, or don’t blame me for bullying a dog," Gu Xiaoxi warned, crossing her arms over her chest.

He had instigated Qin Weiwei to bully her unsuccessfully at the logistics unit last time, and she hoped he wouldn’t come up with any more harmful schemes, otherwise she would make him suffer the consequences.

She preferred to deal with things straightforwardly and didn’t appreciate others pulling tricks behind her back.

If anyone dared do that, she wouldn’t hesitate to give as good as she got.

"Gu Xiaoxi!" Huang Xin ground his teeth, feeling that if Gu Xiaoxi wasn’t taught a lesson, she wouldn’t know her place.

"Don’t casually call my name for no reason. It’s not free!" Gu Xiaoxi playfully blinked her lashes, dead serious.

Huang Xin’s face turned a mix of colors with anger. This person, she was too infuriating with her words.

"I heard you’re quite formidable. How about we spar sometime?" Huang Xin clenched his fists, feeling like Gu Xiaoxi should not be treated as a woman. What an annoying woman!

Although he couldn’t find a reason to dislike her, he felt irritated whenever he saw Gu Xiaoxi without any reason.

"Woof woof woof!" Xiao Xiao bared its teeth and barked thrice at Huang Xin, seemingly defending its owner.

"None of your business, you ingrate!" Huang Xin retorted furiously. If it weren’t for Flying Tiger, it would have probably been given away long ago. Yet here it was, shamelessly following an outsider to bully its owner’s brother.

Gu Xiaoxi clicked her tongue, "If you want to spar, I’m ready anytime."

"Fine, then tonight! After the training is over."

"Good!" Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Have you thought about what to do if you lose?"

Huang Xin always felt that Gu Xiaoxi’s smile was too cunning, sending shivers down his spine. But he had to avenge the bullying of Flying Tiger.

Gu Xiaoxi led Xiao Xiao, walking with graceful steps toward the kennel and locked Xiao Xiao in the cage.

When she looked up, she locked eyes with Guo Dong.

Gu Xiaoxi paused for a moment, her tone casual, "Yeh Bai hasn’t come looking for you again, right?"

She just asked casually, after all, being rejected was an embarrassing matter.

If she were Yeh Bai, she probably wouldn’t set foot in this place again in her life.

"You don’t know?" Guo Dong frowned, her tone surprised.

Gu Xiaoxi’s hand paused, and by the sound of it, had Yeh Bai actually come back?

"He came back?" Gu Xiaoxi closed the cage, asking with suspicion. In front of her, Guo Dong was tall and curvy, her skin snow-white, and her big eyes like a doll come to life from a fairy tale.

Especially in a military uniform, she was devastatingly seductive.

Men would go crazy for her, and she could understand that. But Yeh Bai...

Clearly having returned from a run with Baoxi, Guo Dong patted Baoxi’s head and locked it in its cage, her tone resolute, "I have someone I like. So, there is no way I’ll change my mind."

Gu Xiaoxi understood, "About last time, I was a bit rash. But he’s my friend. I’ll try to talk to him."

Guo Dong turned back, her blue eyes showing a bit of surprise, "I didn’t expect you to be so reasonable. I thought you would take his side."

"It’s not about being obviously sympathetic. I just think there’s no point in liking someone who will never like you back," Gu Xiaoxi said offhandedly.

Guo Dong was stunned.

She stood in place, hand clenching the iron cage, forgetting to close the door. Her body was stiff all over, like a stone.

It seemed that she too had fallen for someone who didn’t like her.

If what Gu Xiaoxi said was true, wouldn’t she be in the same position as Yeh Bai? Then what right did she have to dislike him.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at Guo Dong, then turned and walked away.

She didn’t understand why Guo Dong had suddenly become quiet, and it wasn’t her place to meddle.

As for Yeh Bai, she had nothing to say...

Love was a personal matter, better to let him experience setbacks and come to his senses on his own.

Gu Xiaoxi looked up at the sky, the morning glow already lighting up the earth, and she was thankful for fate’s favor that had brought Quan Shaoqing into her life. At least, she had no emotional troubles.

He liked her, and she liked him. That was enough. Maybe it wouldn’t be earth-shattering, but it could be a gentle, enduring flow.

Like always, Gu Xiaoxi was keen on studying in the morning.

Being in the same class, Zhao Zilong and Shao Changfeng were feeling pretty down.

The studies were the same, but when it came to dog training, everything went wrong. The military dogs didn’t understand their commands, the synergy between handler and dog was off.

It wasn’t that they weren’t studying well, but they simply hadn’t formed a bond with the military dogs, so the unity of purpose was hard to achieve.

Therefore, the initial stage of dog training was extremely challenging.

In the afternoon, an exhilarating notice was issued regarding the World Military Dog Competition.

At the notice board.

All the dog trainers of the Anti-Terrorism Squad were buzzing with excitement about going global and winning the competition, each one full of hope.

Gu Xiaoxi, on the other hand, was much calmer.

"Ah! How can it be like this? I’ve just arrived and haven’t found a military dog with which to form a good partnership, and the competition is about to start. Does that mean I’m going to miss this chance?" Zhao Zilong instantly felt dejected.

Shao Changfeng wore a look of sorrow, unable to deny the poor timing, "Ah! Xiaoxi, we’re counting on you this time. You must get into the World Military Alliance competition and shine."

"Need you even say it? Apprentice, your master will bring back first place so you can bask in the glory!" Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes, speaking nonchalantly. She clearly had her sights set on the top spot.

"Worthy of being Little Freak, you better live up to your words. I’ll be waiting for you to break into the World Military Competition." Zhao Zilong felt that if Gu Xiaoxi was this confident, she might indeed make it into the global competition.

Even if she didn’t take the first place, she wouldn’t come back empty-handed. Moreover, Xiao Xiao was no ordinary dog, much more capable than Flying Tiger.

"You sure talk big. I don’t even dare to be certain I can win against other squads to go to the world championships.

You three newcomers still want to place in the world competition?

Ignorance is truly bliss. If you, Gu Xiaoxi, can win a spot in the world competition, I’ll eat shit during a live broadcast," Huang Xin scoffed.

With so many serving military dogs across the country, it was impossible for a newcomer like Gu Xiaoxi to dominate.

He couldn’t believe it for the life of him.

Gu Xiaoxi lifted her eyelids slightly and glanced sideways at Huang Xin.

"A soldier eating shit on live broadcast would be an insult to our military’s honor.

Here’s a better idea: If I win a spot and go to the world competition, then you, every night at midnight, will stand in repentance under the national flag for two hours. "

Shao Changfeng and Zhao Zilong immediately gave a thumbs-up; this punishment was perfect.

Standing at attention for two hours during the sleepiest time, repenting under the national flag, was an extravagantly meaningful sanction!

It expressed love for the country and provided a quiet moment for self-reflection.

Huang Xin would likely never forget Gu Xiaoxi for the rest of his life.

Huang Xin opened his mouth but was at a loss for words. Inside, he was a tempest against such arrogant Gu Xiaoxi.

The others standing nearby couldn’t help but feel secretly alarmed; Gu Xiaoxi was definitely not a gentle woman, but she was certainly a person with personality.

Such a poisonous tongue!

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the sky, noting it was getting late.

She gave Huang Xin a cursory glance and spoke indifferently, "Didn’t you schedule a sparring session with me tonight? I feel it’s too bullying to spar with you. How about this: Shao Changfeng is my apprentice. If you can beat him, then you can come find me!"

With that, she walked away without looking back.
