Su Li was utterly shocked. She looked at Xiao Luo with her eyes wide opened and she didnt blink at all. She thought this guys learning ability was through the roof. Just twenty minutes ago, he was merely a bumbling novice at skating, but now hes suddenly even performing figure-skating. What else could she sayhe was basically a demon!

Are you always able to learn everything so quickly? she asked.

Xiao Luo shook his head. No, not really, he replied.

But all it took for you was ten minutes, and youre already a very accomplished figure-skater.

Su Li couldnt hide her shock. Just thinking of the fact that she had taken a good five years to master all of her techniques got her exasperated, so much so that her face start to turn red and hot. All this guy took was ten minutes, and he could already match all the hard work that she had put in over the five years.

I suppose, maybe, I have some kind of talent in this area.

Xiao Luo offered an explanation and laughed bashfully. It was all thanks to his The physique of the King of Mercenaries ability and the constant conditioning of his mind and body. These undoubtedly provided him with half the skills required to skate well, as it was an activity that required balance and co-ordination of the different parts of his body.

Su Li was dumbfounded, and she had to admit that there was no other explanation for it.

Suddenly, a staff member of the roller-skating rink could be seen running toward the rink owner, who had been hiding at a corner, admiring the figure-skating. Boss, things are not looking good. Some of the customers that we tricked have returned. Now theyre outside, and theyre shouting and threatening to destroy our skating rink. They have a whole bunch of people out there, and were no match for all of them, the staffer cried.

What did you say? Theyre threatening to destroy our skating rink? Did they all eat bears heart and leopards gall for them to have the courage to do that?

The rink owner became really angry when he heard this, pulled out the cigarette from his mouth, threw it onto the floor, and stepped on it. Lets go, well go and meet them. Lets see who these people are to have the guts to destroy your big brothers rink. Ill scr*w them up alive!

He unbuttoned his collar, revealing a blue dragon tattoo that could be partly seen emblazoned on his chest. As he was a gang member in the past, he had a bit of a quick temper.

Su Li could sense that something was not right and told Xiao Luo about it.

Xiao Luo then rushed toward the boss and shouted, Boss, were done with the rink, were leaving now.

Brother, dont worry about it, you just enjoy yourselves. It has barely been half an hour. People like us who do businesses take our promises seriously. I cant let you waste your money like that. Ill just go shout at those noisy brats outside, and theyll leave immediately. I promise they wont annoy you and ruin the fun youre having, the rink owner responded, patting his chest as he stormed toward the front door.

This boss had morals, indeed!

Xiao Luo thought to himself, cocking an eyebrow as he glanced at the man walking off.

Change your shoes, lets leave this place, Su Li said.

Xiao Luo nodded his head. Since he was here today to accompany Su Xiaobei and Su Li, he left all the decisions for Su Li.

Just as they were changing their shoes, one of the emergency exits of the roller-skating rink was barged open. Six or seven boys and girls started rushing in.

There, you see! They were lying to us, what renovation are they doing here? Theres barely a few people in here!

Is the boss of this place a dimwit or what? We are trying to give him business and money, but he doesnt even want it?

No, no, no, I think these people here must have booked the entire rink.

These boys and girls barged in without any fear, and they were even were brazenly making comments loudly without much respect.

The moment he had a closer look at the group of boys and girls, the look on Xiao Luos face changed. He thought to himself how small the world indeed was, for these kids were no strangers to him. They were the schoolmates of Guan Yilin that he had seen earlier at the Three Sauce Simmer Pot restaurant. It was already this late, and yet these kids were still hanging out in the mall. He sighed, thinking just how much they were really just like him back in the days.

Hey, isnt that Senior Xiao Luo?

One of the girls noticed Xiao Luo and shouted with surprise.

Her shout drew everyones attention to Xiao Luo. Guan Yilin, who was right in front of the group, shouted, Yes, it is Senior Xiao Luo!

Guan Yilin was a self-professed follower of Xiao Luo, and if she said it was Xiao Luo, then it had to be him. She would never mistake Xiao Luo for someone else. Instantly, everyone rushed toward Xiao Luo without any hesitation.

Senior Xiao Luo, it is you indeed, Im so happy, Id never imagined that I would be able to meet you here!

Guan Yilin was really excited. After Xiao Luos lecture, her attitude and temperament had changed quite a bit. She was no longer that arrogant and had learned that, no matter how strong one was, there would always be another out there stronger. She was having dinner with her classmates because shed be graduating after this semester and was taking the chance to improve her relationship with classmates that she could get along well with.

One of the boys suddenly screamed, Senior Xiao Luo, this must be our sister-in-law, shes so pretty!

That goes without saying, Senior Xiao Luo is such a talented man, of course, our sister-in-law will be pretty. I hope youre doing well sister-in-law, were Senior Xiao Luos juniors. My name is Guoh sh*t, Nat National Goddess Su Li, you you are the Goddess Su Li, right?

The other guy was going to introduce himself, but after taking a closer look at Su Lis face, he became so shocked and excited that he started to stutter.

W-what?!

Guan Yilin and the rest turned their heads and looked towards Su Li. After taking a look at her, all of them were stunned. One of the guys could not even hold on to his drink, and it slipped from his hand.

Su Li looked every bit a goddess in her white outfit and with her luscious black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her fair skin was unblemished and as pure as snow, and her exquisite and beautiful face exuded a beauty that made ones heart pound.

A superstar that could only be seen on TV and on the covers of magazines now stood there right in front of them. She was just within touching distance, and these students were thrilled. They felt like they were in a dream and could hardly breathe.

Xiao Luo felt overwhelmed, coughed a bit, and said, Shes not Su Li, shes just someone who looks just like Su Li.

Senior Xiao Luo, look at you lying without batting an eyelid! Were all Baking Sodas[1] and are avid fans of Goddess Su. Standing right in front of her, theres no way we cant recognize our idol!

Oh my God, to think that our Goddess Su is already someones wife, and they even have such an obedient daughter. My heart hurts.

Senior Xiao Luo, youre way too ferocious. Youre a role model that I have to look up to. Ill watch and learn from you, and hopefully have the chance to marry a superstar in the future.

A few of the boys looked at Xiao Luo and worshipped him. They were this close to kneeling down in front of him.

Ahem, hem

Xiao Luo coughed a little in an attempt to hide his embarrassment.

Goddess Su, my idol, I finally get to meet you in real life.

Im so excited!

I must have gotten the right date on the almanac, to think that I can meet Goddess Su today! Im so lucky!

Needless to say, Guan Yilin and her friends turned all of their attention to Su Li. This was a superstar, after all. This was probably the only chance they would have in their entire lives to interact with a celebrity up close.

Su Li really wanted to leave, but she couldnt. She had to make sure to take care of her own public image, so she laughed and waved at them, Nice to meet you all!

BANG!

Suddenly, the main door of the ice-skating rink was crashed open. The roller-skating rink owner flew in and fell onto the ground. Like a soldier in pain that had yet to fulfill his mission, he shouted towards Xiao Luo, Brother, I really respect you, but the people outside are way too fierce, I cant stop them at all!

Soon after, a swarm of people rushed in like bees.

Oh my god, what am I seeing, National Goddess Su Li!

It is indeed Goddess Su, so it was she who booked the entire rink.

Oh my God, Ive finally met my dream girl, I want to get her signature, I want to get her signature!

Like boiling water, a whole bunch of people started bubbling in.
