The wild beast rushed towards Xiao Rou who seemed to have abandoned all hope.
Her delicate frame trembled as she accepted her fate, shutting her eyes.
Will I die just like this? Death by those set of claws⌠do they hurt a lot?
âŚOh?
I feel so light. Is this how death feels like? Doesnât feel rightâŚ
Xiao Rou opened both of her eyes in doubt.
Between her eyes, a slim silhouette unknowingly appeared right in front of her. The figure donned a familiar torn blanket as a cape, unexpectedly holding back the enormous beast.
Xiao Rou was stunned!
H-How could this be possible?
He actually held the gigantic wild beast back with his obviously severe injuriesâŚ
In this moment, Xiao Rouâs thoughts abruptly flashed back to yesterday where she first saw Xu Que. Images of the miserable scene of him drenched in blood appeared. But now, he is right in front of her, protecting her without a care for his life.
Xiao Rou sniffed with tears filling up her eyes.
At the same time, the surrounding villagers who were unreactive to Xu Queâs lightning fast speed were stumped at whatever he was doing now.
However, just witnessing the slim figure stopping the huge wild beast caused the villagers to become deeply awestricken.
How is it possible that a personâ injured to such an extent, can hold back such a massive and ferocious beast?
âRoar!â
This time, the wild beast had let out a thunderous roar, snapping everyone back into reality.
It lifted its gigantic beastly claws into the air while panting in rage before abruptly bringing them down to the ground.
Everybody were startled and shocked as they screamed out,
âThis is not good. Quickly retreat!â
âLittle doll, escape!â
âBe carefulâŚâ
Xiao Rou was frightened too as she turns pale. She reached out her tiny hands to try and pull Xu Que back but realized that she couldnât move an inch.
With Xu Queâs frame of skin and bones standing in the face of the huge and immense beast, it looked like a clear match-up of the strong against the weak.
Despite resisting the first attack by the beast, no one believed that he was an even match for it.
Xu Que who had remained still the entire time, immediately lifted up his right leg and kicked the wild beast.
âThump!â
A cry of agony followed, stunning the crowd again.
The colossal and ferocious beast was kicked flying into the air and it landed hard on the ground before sliding some distance from the impact of the kick.
The villagers were astonished.
One⌠One kick and the beast flew? What kind of damned leg power does he have? What leg strength?
âDing! Congratulations to host âXu Queâ for successfully subtly acting tough. The reward is three act tough points.â
âDing! Congratulations to host âXu Queâ for successfully subtly acting tough. The reward is five act tough points.â
The system beeped twice in a row but Xu Que couldnât care less on how he scored twice. His one and only reason for being here was to save Xiao Rou.
Because of that, he made use of his internal five-attributed spiritual Qi and coherently executed his kick in an explosive manner.
However, he immediately felt vaguely that his legs were going numb.
The beast lying in front of him was by no means weak and was equipped with a very thick hide. One kick would definitely not kill it under normal circumstances.
âFellow villagers, rest assured, this animal is mine!â
Xu Que gave a shout and rushed towards the beast, pinning its head on the ground, giving it a thorough beating with a flurry of punches and kicks.
Every punch and kick subtly contained Qi, causing the beast to wail and howl in pain.
The villagers were dumbfounded, lifelessly witnessing this scene and some of them couldnât grasp the situation unfolding before their eyes.
The once seemingly gigantic and ferocious beast was beaten down to a level of helplessness.
This feeling was identical to witnessing a muscular, able-bodied man beaten into submission by a mumbling, small kid. Anybody would feel dumbfounded watching this.
âDing! Congratulations to host âXu Queâ for defeating Tiger-Ox beast and successfully acting tough. The reward is one act tough point.â
âDing! Congratulations to host âXu Queâ on defeating Tiger-Bull Beast. Acquired 1200 experience.â
âWhoosh!â
As the system beeped, Xu Que heaved a sigh of relief.
He conveniently lied down on the beastâs carcass as a rush of power came into him. This was because every skin pore on his body opened up and spiritual Qi flowed into him from all directions.
He felt stronger again.
âDing! Congratulations to host âXu Queâ on leveling up! Current stage is Foundation Building Stage Level 1.â
âDing! Congratulations to host âXu Queâ on entering Foundation Building Stage. Rewarded with âBig Growth Gift Bagâ x 1. Every increase in a stage entitles host to open gift bag once. Do you want to check its contents?â
âDing! Reminder for host âXu Queâ: your skill path, , Beginnerâs Level has already reached its peak, unable to train further. The leftover 200 experience points has already been deposited into the experience deposit pool. Please purchase the intermediate level manual as soon as possible.â
Xu Que was stunned. One wild beast was already a thousand over experience?
Damn! This is so much more worth it than eating Experience Pills! Seems like I shall train on the mountains to level up in the future.
After consideration, Xu Que was ready to open the Big Growth Gift bag for a look. All of a sudden, his body felt like it was emptied up. No, itâs more like someone was lifting his body up.
He woke up into realization and found out that the villagers had lifted him up. Everyone were brimming with smiles, mixed with their expressions of surprise.
They started cheering and threw Xu Que into the air, caught him, and then threw him up again to celebrate his triumph over the beast.
An elderly shouted with a trembling voice, âGood , good, good, we have a young hero!â
âLittle brother, you have natural God-like powers! Youâll definitely make it in the future.â
âThatâs right. The Village chief was right in saying that you are a hero, a lucky star bestowed upon our village from the skies.!â
âŚ
Amidst everyoneâs cheers, Xu Queâs nickname was changed from âLittle Dollâ to âLittle Brotherâ.
Xu Que started boasting shamelessly, âI am flattered. Everyone, I am flattered. Nobody but I would dare to say, but I eat such wild beasts for breakfast!â
Pow!
Xu Que was once again lifted into the air but this time, he felt cold. He realized that the blanket cape on his back was missing. When he turned his head to take a look, he realized that several brat kids took it off his back.
He frantically covered his stomach and exclaimed, âFellow villagers, please close your eyes!â
Everybody was stunned as they witness the smooth and silky skin of Xu Que. A few village ladies blushed at the sight and looked away.
Xiao Rou was shocked too and was going to cover up her eyes. However, when she subconsciously saw the red cloth Xu Que tied between his legs to cover his privates, she was stunned.
That red cloth⌠Why was it so familiar?
That embroidery on the read cloth⌠Why does it look⌠Similar to mine?
Ah!
Xiao Rou realised something,as she covered her mouth and blushed. Even her ears were red. She then scurried away in embarrassment.
The villagers finally put Xu Que down after a long time.
One of the able-bodied men took the stolen blanket from the brats and donned it again on him. He urged him to be careful not to catch a cold.
The old village chief holding a walking stick, ordered for clothes to be fetched.

In the end, Xiao Rou ran back again, offering a set of light blue clothing. She lowered her tiny head while blushing and stuffed the clothes into Xu Queâs hands. She then turned and ran away without saying a word.
Upon receiving the clothes, Xu Que wondered why Xiao Rou was so often bashful and shy around him.
Could it be that I appeared too manly and strong as I defeated the beast and caused the girlâs heart to be moved? Aiya! Thatâs⌠Thatâs making me shy!
Looks like I have to continue acting tougher and tougher.
Amidst his hidden happiness, an aunt pointed at the piece of red cloth at his private area and shockingly claimed, âIsnât⌠Isnât this the undergarment An Xiu gave to Xiao Rou? Little Brother, why are you wearing it?â
