Then let the witch offer her loyalty

"...Did you just touch my ear?"

"I...I just..."

"You dare touch my ear?!"

"It's mainly because Your Majesty's ears are so beautiful! I couldn't help myself, so... Hey hey hey! Don't be angry! I'm sorry!"

Zhou Yan gets beaten up +3.

...

And so, Zhou Yan, at the cost of his reckless and self-destructive behavior, caused Lang Yue to not get a good night's sleep for the past two days.

Wolf Moon spends at least 18 out of 24 hours a day beating up Zhou Yan.

When it comes to taking a beating, no one in the entire Twin Cities Witches' Bureau is more professional than Zhou Yan.

Every time Lang Yue caught him and beat him up, Zhou Yan never fought back. He would just cover his head and cower there, saying, "Hit me all you want."

She even figured out Wolf Moon's fighting style and would often take the initiative to pull back her fists to minimize the damage.

After getting beaten up, he used his psionic powers to heal his injuries and then continued his rampage.

The key message is: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time."

Wolf Moon has been either beating up Zhou Yan or on his way to beat up Zhou Yan lately, and his arms are practically numb from it.

On the morning of the third day, it was just getting light, and the chill had not yet subsided.

Wolf Moon was woken up again in the early hours of this morning, and is currently in a fit of rage, straddling Zhou Yan and throwing punches wildly.

"Do you think you've lived too long?! How dare you still howl?!"

"Waaaaah... I don't know! The moon was so round last night, and I felt a primal force about to erupt inside me. I just couldn't stop howling... Your Majesty, do you think this is a sign that my wolf bloodline is awakening?"

"Shut up!!!"

Wolf Moon unleashed his full power, punching Zhou Yan squarely on the forehead, creating a bump.

Wolf Moon hadn't slept well for three whole days; her dark circles were so bad she could easily pass for a panda. She was practically driven to the brink of collapse.

Just as she was furiously beating Zhou Yan, suddenly, the base's broadcast voice rang out from outside the tree hole: "Wolf Moon, it's almost time. Come over when you're ready."

Wolf Moon was stunned for a moment, his fist stopping in mid-air.

"...When is it about time?" She subconsciously looked up, blinking blankly, her bloodshot eyes filled with confusion. "What do you mean, 'come over'? Where are we going?"

The broadcast replied, "A duel? Didn't you want to duel Chen Moxin today? He's already waiting for you in the dueling arena."

These words exploded in Wolf Moon's mind like a thunderclap.

Her eyes widened instantly, almost popping out of their sockets: "A...a duel?!"

Her memories were rapidly rewinding.

Indeed, Chen Moxin came a few days ago to agree on the rules of the duel and also set a time, which was this morning.

However, Zhou Yan had been so busy these past few days that Lang Yue's biological clock had long since collapsed, and her concept of time was somewhat confused, so she completely forgot about this matter.

"...How about another day? I'm really too sleepy. Can we reschedule for the afternoon? I'll take a nap first."

"This can't be changed. All the hunters watching, the bureau leaders, and the judges from the court are here. It's impossible to change the time. According to the agreement, being more than half an hour late automatically results in a loss."

"..." Upon hearing this, Lang Yue almost fell off Zhou Yan. She gritted her teeth, her face turning a deep purplish-red.

"Aaaaaaah!!!" Wolf Moon grabbed Zhou Yan, who was still pretending to be dead on the ground, and shook her violently by her collar. "It's all your fault!"

"You've been barking like a dog every night for the past few days, pouring shampoo on my head while I'm showering, and kicking over my food bowl several times! I haven't been able to sleep because of you! I'm so tired now!!!"

As she spoke, she opened her mouth and bit Zhou Yan hard on the shoulder.

“Ouch—it hurts!”

Zhou Yan cried out in pain, rubbing his bloody nose while forcing a smile: "Your Majesty, you should hurry up and go to fight. I'll come and watch later, and I'll cheer you on."

Chapter 206 I feel uncomfortable if I don't tease someone for a day

Among the many hunters, Chen Moxin is the only one to advance to the third round of duels. Today, she will face off against Wolf Moon in a final showdown to compete for the title of "Wolf King" through force.

The battle between the most promising hunter of the new generation and the most wicked witch in history has undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.

The battle took place in the Administration's underground facilities, an underground space originally built as a refuge for emergencies such as earthquakes and attacks.

The department was worried that a duel between the two on the surface would be too noisy and cause a disturbance among the witches in other containment areas. In addition, this underground space was designed to be very sturdy, so they chose this place as the venue.

The entire venue is nearly the size of two basketball courts, and is reinforced with a mixture of alloy and shock-resistant concrete. The ring-shaped light strip on the top emits a faint, cold light, making the entire space resemble a giant prison.

There are no cover, no obstacles, and no escape routes here. Once you step inside, it's a head-on battle that will continue until one side crushes the other.

At this moment, the main leaders of the entire Twin Cities psionic jurisdiction, including the Tribunal and the Bureau, were present to witness this crucial duel.

The hunters from the Bureau were all on duty, standing on the high platform at the edge of the dueling arena, each with a solemn expression, responsible for guarding against any unexpected events that might occur during the battle.

At a glance, one could see many figures, with hunters gathered in twos and threes, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

"Do you think Chen Moxin can handle this? In my memory, he's good at scheming, but I don't think he's ever fought a tough battle like this before."

"You don't understand, do you? This kind of cunning old fox may seem reckless, but he's actually more reliable than anyone else. The fact that he dared to make a move means that he's at least 80 or 90% sure about this."

"Yes, we can't underestimate Xiao Chen. Back when he was still a trainee, he beat Captain Yang to his knees and surrendered during the test. Everyone in the bureau was shocked at the time."

"Keep your voice down, you idiot... Captain Yang's glaring at me..."

While the hunters whispered among themselves, the top leaders of the Bureau and the Tribunal also gathered in the multimedia viewing room.

Logically speaking, the actual battle scene would be more exciting to watch, but these leaders are not like hunters and do not have such strong physical fitness.

You should know that when Wolf Moon gets serious, he can break the sound barrier with his bare hands. With these leaders' small physiques, if they were to be accidentally hit by the aftershocks while watching the game, they might just die.

The spacious multimedia room was surrounded by several holographic projection screens, clearly displaying various angles of the battlefield. Dozens of high-ranking officers in uniforms sat around a table, conversing with each other.

"Sigh, sometimes I really think your bureau is pretty ridiculous. What kind of terrible ideas do you come up with? You actually approved this kind of fight."

"There's no other way. Lang Yue's problems are too big. Someone has to deal with her. At present, Chen Moxin seems to be the most suitable and most promising candidate."

"I'm just worried that punches and kicks can be unpredictable. You know how strong Wolf Moon is. What if a punch lands squarely and leaves someone permanently crippled? What if a perfectly healthy hunter is just gone like that?"

"Given Chen Moxin's capabilities, this situation is unlikely to occur. If it does happen, then we should follow the agreement and do what needs to be done; everyone has signed it."

At this moment, an older female judge said softly, "Putting aside the unexpected, the biggest problem now is that we can't afford to lose."

"Wolf Moon is already bad enough. If she wins this time and thinks that no one in the bureau can do anything to her... then you just wait and see, she will definitely turn the world upside down for you."

In this atmosphere of anticipation and worry, time ticked by.

Backstage preparation area.

"Sizzle—" As the gate opened, the "defender of the crown" for this battle arrived.

Chen Moxin was stretching and warming up in the center of the preparation area when he heard the door open. He turned around and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Good morning, King Wolf Moon."

While flexing his wrists, he feigned surprise and teased, "Why do you look so pale? Your eyes are as dark as a panda's. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Wolf Moon's face was ashen, his hair was a mess like a bird's nest, his eyes were sunken, the corners of his eyes were red, and there were large patches of dark circles around his eyes, so thick that they looked like they had been drawn on with charcoal.

She looked menacing, yet also exuded an extreme drowsiness, staring at Chen Moxin with a sinister gaze: "Hey, kid, Zhou Yan, you wouldn't happen to have sent him to deliberately harass me, would you?"

Chen Moxin shouted righteously, "What are you saying? Go ask around in the bureau. When have I, Chen Moxin, ever used such underhanded tactics?!"

Wolf Moon snorted coldly: "I don't think you have the guts. Hurry up and beat you up so I can go back to sleep."

After saying that, she walked through the isolation door and into the battle arena on the other side.

After Lang Yue left, Chen Moxin stood there with a meaningful smile on his lips. He turned his head slightly, took out a communicator from his pocket, pressed the call button, and said in a low voice, "You can come over now."

Before long, the side door opened, and Lei Lie and Zhou Yan cautiously peeked in.

"Lei Lie, is Zhong Guo in position?" Chen Moxin asked in a low voice.

“He’s in position.” Lei Lie nodded. “He’s waiting on the high platform. He can provide remote support at any time as long as you give the signal.”

Zhou Yan scratched the back of his head uneasily and asked in a low voice, "Brother Mo Xin, is this really okay... Didn't you and Lang Yue agree to a one-on-one fight? Now, including me, Lei Lie, and Zhong Guo, it's four against one."

Chen Moxin shrugged and said matter-of-factly, "What's the problem? Isn't this just a one-on-one fight? She's taking on the whole group by herself."

"..." Zhou Yan was speechless. "If Lang Yue finds out, she'll definitely protest."

"Then just don't let her find out, right?" Chen Moxin said, patting her shoulder. "Come on, put your hands on my shoulders, get ready to hide."

Lei Lie walked over and put his hand on Chen Moxin's shoulder.

Zhou Yan also raised her hand and gently pressed it on Chen Moxin's back. Although she was still a little guilty, she had a sly smile on her face, as if she was looking forward to what was going to happen next.

Chen Moxin closed her eyes, concentrated her consciousness, and a faint halo of light, barely perceptible to the naked eye, emanated from around her body.

Instantly, his refractive ability activated, and Zhou Yan and Lei Lie's bodies gradually became blurry, transparent, and finally completely invisible and disappeared, no longer detectable by the naked eye.

"By the way, have you all applied the perfume I asked you to?"

"I sprayed it, I sprayed it all over my body several times."

"That's good. That guy has a very keen sense of smell, so we can't let her find out. Remember, when you come in with me, don't move around and your hands absolutely cannot leave my side, or we'll give ourselves away."

"Wait for my signal, and we'll fight four against one."

The idea of ​​a "righteous brawl" was something Chen Moxin had planned long ago.

On the one hand, judging from past battle records, Wolf Moon's overall combat strength is simply too outrageous.

Her utterly unreasonable destructive power, damage resistance, stamina, and recovery ability almost made her a monster born for close combat.

Trying to fight someone like that one-on-one is just plain stupid.

Therefore, Chen Moxin had already decided from the beginning that to defeat Wolf Moon, she would rely on strategy and deception.

Of course, there is another crucial reason.

I feel restless if I don't have a bad day!

The Administration Bureau does not actually object to such underhanded tactics.

Hunters and witches have always been in a state of being both friends and enemies. In order to deal with those troublesome witches, hunters often use all sorts of ingenious methods.

For the bureau leaders, what they care about is never whether it's glorious or not, but whether the witch is willing to cooperate with the control, whether there is a risk of escape, whether the madness can be effectively suppressed, and whether it may cause a public crisis.

As for how the hunter subdued the witch, he either won by fighting, tricked her, or used deception. As long as it doesn't violate current laws or cause a public relations crisis, the rest can be resolved internally.

Even if special circumstances arise that require the use of illegal means, it is negotiable as long as the court approves it.

As for troublesome witches like Wolf Moon, the bureau couldn't be more eager for Chen Moxin to use more methods to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Just like the previous two rounds of the speed challenge and the eating challenge, everyone in the bureau knew about the dirty tricks Chen Moxin played. On the surface, they claimed that they would act as referees and ensure fairness and impartiality, but in reality, they turned a blind eye to it and even colluded with it from the inside.

This time was no exception. After a brief assessment, all of Chen Moxin's requests were approved. He could do whatever he wanted, as long as he could subdue Lang Yue in the end.

After all, Wolf Moon is too troublesome. It's better for everyone to settle her down sooner rather than later.

...

"Shh-"

As the heavy isolation door slowly opened, Wolf Moon entered the battlefield.

The moment I stepped inside, a strong, pungent odor hit me like a tidal wave.

"Ugh—what's that weird smell?!"

Wolf Moon suddenly covered his nose, staggering backward from the stench, almost pressing himself against the wall.

Anyone who frequently uses perfume knows that it's all about "the right amount".

A little spray can be refreshing, but too much can be irritating to the nose.

The air here was thick and cloyingly fragrant, a mixture of floral, fruity, and unidentified chemical scents, as if someone had accidentally spilled countless bottles of perfume—it was extremely pungent.

Wolf Moon frowned, a physiological stinging sensation rising in the tip of her nose. As a child who grew up on the grasslands, she had always been surrounded by the scents of grass, blood, earth, and the pheromones of wolves.

Even if you smell flowers in the forest, those are all pure, natural, and real flower scents.

This industrially synthesized scent is now a physiological attack on her.

Not to mention that her nose is much more sensitive than that of an ordinary person. She only felt that her nasal cavity was itchy and she had difficulty breathing. Her nose felt like it was covered with a layer of paste.

"Cough, cough, achoo! Achoo!!"

Wolf Moon sneezed several times, her nostrils turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her furry ears also drooped, clearly uncomfortable with the fragrance.
