My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 13
The next morning, Sun Du noticed something unusual.
Liu Nuanyu had finally stopped acting like she had lost her mind.
She was surprisingly quiet and well-behaved.
He couldn’t help wondering exactly what Lu Xiaoxiao had said to her the previous night.
At nine o’clock, the three of them arrived once again at the massive city wall.
Their destination was the Buffer Zone—
A region that belonged to neither humanity nor the evil creatures.
Neither side had ever fully claimed it.
For now, however, humanity still held the advantage, and reclaiming the area was only a matter of time.
“Good morning, Miss Liu, Miss Lu… and this gentleman.”
Captain Li, commander of the Fourth Brigade, saluted the group.
Naturally, he recognized the two students of the famous Iron Wall.
As for Sun Du…
He was a complete mystery.
Not only did he possess a special access pass…
Rumor also claimed he’d somehow left Captain Wang in a miserable state.
Captain Li had heard the story.
Or rather…
He refused to believe it.
Twisting a titanium-tungsten Gatling gun into something resembling a fried dough twist?
Impossible.
At least…
That was what common sense told him.
What Captain Li didn’t know was that Captain Wang had taken leave solely to deliver his beloved Gatling gun to a master craftsman.
Captain Wang had nearly gone insane when he saw the weapon’s condition.
The craftsman had nearly gone insane after seeing it too.
“Captain Li.”
Liu Nuanyu greeted him politely.
“We’re heading into the Buffer Zone.”
“Could you open the gate?”
Unlike her usual behavior around Sun Du…
Liu Nuanyu appeared perfectly composed and elegant in front of everyone else.
“Of course.”
Captain Li nodded.
“Though…”
“Will you require any equipment?”
As he spoke, his eyes subtly shifted toward Sun Du.
The tiny gesture didn’t escape Sun Du’s notice.
“Captain Li.”
“You think I look weak too, don’t you?”
The captain smiled awkwardly.
“No offense intended.”
“But as a soldier…”
“I have to ensure everyone’s safety.”
After all…
You really do look rather harmless.
Sun Du understood exactly what he meant.
Fortunately…
He wasn’t offended.
“So…”
“What would convince you that I can protect myself?”
Captain Li thought for a moment.
Then dragged over an enormous rectangular shield.
It measured roughly 1.6 meters tall…
65 centimeters wide…
And over two centimeters thick.
Weighing several hundred kilograms, it was normally used to withstand frontal assaults from evil creatures.
It was so heavy that it was rarely moved.
“This should do.”
Captain Li nodded.
“But…”
“Aren’t you worried you’ll damage it?”
“It’s alright.”
Captain Li smiled.
“It’s old anyway.”
“It’ll be melted down and reforged soon enough.”
“Fair enough.”
Sun Du casually caught the massive shield with one hand.
That action alone already startled Captain Li.
He couldn’t help wondering…
Would this mysterious man demonstrate incredible strength by swinging it around?
Would he bend the steel?
Or perhaps punch straight through it?
Instead…
Sun Du did something nobody expected.
Something…
Childishly ridiculous.
He laid the shield flat on the ground.
Then—
Click.
Click.
Click.
Click.
Fold.
Fold.
Fold.
Within seconds…
The gigantic steel shield had somehow become…
An iron paper airplane.
“…”
Everyone stood frozen.
Sun Du examined it carefully.
“Not bad.”
“The iron’s just a little too heavy.”
After saying that…
He gently blew on it.
Apparently performing one of his “magic tricks.”
Then…
He tossed it into the air.
The iron airplane gracefully circled overhead before flying neatly back into his waiting hand.
He nodded with satisfaction.
“See?”
“It flies now.”
Everyone present:
“(O口O)…”
Silence.
Complete silence.
Nobody knew what to say anymore.
Their eyes insisted what they had witnessed was real.
Their brains stubbornly rejected the evidence.
Reality and illusion seemed to overlap.
Until they accepted what had happened…
Their minds remained trapped somewhere between the two.
It was almost like Schrödinger’s cat.
Were they still sane?
Or had they already gone mad?
Neither answer seemed entirely correct.
At that moment…
Their eyes and brains were practically arguing.
Eyes:
“Brain, this is exactly what I saw.”
Brain:
“Have you completely lost your mind?”
It was…
A very difficult situation to judge.
Sun Du casually stuffed the iron airplane back into Captain Li’s arms.
“There.”
“That should be enough proof.”
Captain Li stared blankly.
“…Huh?”
“…Ah.”
“…Yes.”
Sun Du smiled.
“Alright.”
“Xiaoxiao.”
“Miss Liu.”
“Let’s go.”
The two girls, still somewhat dazed, answered in unison.
“…Okay.”
…
The three soon entered the Buffer Zone.
Warm sunlight filtered through the forest canopy.
A gentle breeze carried the fresh scent of grass and earth.
Sun Du took a deep breath.
“What a beautiful place.”
He smiled contentedly.
“It would be perfect…”
“If evil creatures didn’t exist.”
He sighed slightly.
“Although…”
“If I carried a few guns around…”
“I’d probably scare all the monsters away.”
“What a shame.”
“Otherwise I’d have brought some out to play.”
Not far away…
Lu Xiaoxiao and Liu Nuanyu were battling an ugly ape-like evil creature.
Its gray-black body was covered in jagged scales.
Like nearly every evil creature…
It was astonishingly ugly.
“That’s it!”
“Now!”
“Okay!”
Following Liu Nuanyu’s instructions, Lu Xiaoxiao unleashed one final spell.
The monster collapsed instantly.
“Nice work.”
Lu Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat from her forehead.
“We’ve hardly encountered any enemies today.”
“That’s normal.”
Liu Nuanyu nodded.
“Evil creatures are very cunning.”
“They usually prey on weaker targets.”
“Normally I stay farther away so they’ll attack you.”
“But today…”
She glanced toward Sun Du.
No further explanation was necessary.
The answer was obvious.
Of course…
That reasoning wasn’t entirely correct.
The evil creatures couldn’t sense Sun Du’s true strength.
Earlier…
One monkey-like monster had actually tried to ambush him.
Its fate was simple.
Sun Du casually roasted it over a campfire.
The end.
“What should we do now, Sister Liu?”
“We should move farther away.”
“Otherwise…”
“We won’t find any monsters at all.”
Naturally…
Liu Nuanyu had another reason for making the suggestion.
These past few days…
She had barely gotten any time alone with Lu Xiaoxiao.
She wasn’t about to waste the opportunity.
“…Alright.”
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded.
“But we should ask Commander Sun first.”
Dragging the reluctant Liu Nuanyu along, she returned to where Sun Du was comfortably lying on a bench.
“Commander Sun.”
“Would it be alright…”
“If we trained a little farther away?”
Sun Du counted quietly on his fingers.
After a brief calculation…
He nodded.
“Xiaoxiao will be fine.”
“But Miss Liu…”
“You might run into a little trouble.”
“If anything happens…”
“Send me a message.”
“I’ll come rescue you.”
“Thank you!”
After receiving permission, the two girls happily headed deeper into the forest.
Watching them leave, Sun Du smiled helplessly.
Then quietly muttered to himself,
“That Miss Liu…”
“I just hope she doesn’t end up breaking Xiaoxiao’s heart.”
“And…”
“Please don’t let her be one of those terrible women who tricks people into marriage…”
“…Then runs away with half their dowry.”
