Chapter 421: Chapter 205 It’s Time to Activate the Money-Making Ability

One piece of good news, one piece of bad news.

The good news was, Chen Yanfei didn’t hear Pan Ge’s "good intentions."

The bad news was, Black-hearted White Lotus had, yet again, hit Han Lie’s Achilles’ heel.

The poor man held up his cellphone as if clutching a stick of dynamite, the fuse hissing as it burned down, about to reach the end any second.

Have time? No time? Go out with Chen Yanfei? Go shopping with Pan Ge for a gift?

With thoughts racing like lightning, Han Lie decided to tackle the issues one by one, so he softly said to Chen Yanfei, "I have time, so see you tomorrow?"

What he meant was: I’m busy now; I’m going to hang up.

Chen Yanfei was quick-witted and understood immediately. She laughed, "Sure, see you tomorrow. Remember to appease all your female friends, okay!"

Dammit!

Right before hanging up, she still managed to give Han Lie a whack.

Her playful banter was as subtle as it was clever—another natural-born queen of husband-taming.

Han Lie felt his head throb with pain. Just as he was about to deal with Pan Ge, she had already turned and walked toward the changing room.

Hey! Flirt and then run, who taught you that?!

Han Lie was angry, but there wasn’t much he could do about Pan Ge. She had taken refuge in the women’s changing room; he couldn’t exactly charge in there and beat her up with a stick, could he?

Fuming, the boxing king Han Lie headed up to the second floor and immediately had the sparring partners put on their protective gear.

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!

The intense sounds of striking echoed like a hurricane through the boxing gym, and within less than twenty minutes, one sparring partner was taken down.

While helmets and chest protectors could shield the vitals, they didn’t protect arms and shoulders, which hurt like hell after taking too many hits.

A few pupils who had missed the last fight watched with shining eyes. They were eager to ask, "Wow, where did this guy come from? He looks so strong! Hey, have you guys sparred with him before?"

The guy who was asked unconsciously shuddered and whispered back, "Haven’t you noticed that there are two fewer people in the gym?"

The other guy belatedly realized, "Right! What happened to Xu Daweifeng and That Annoying Guy? I haven’t seen them for a while..."

"They won’t be coming anymore."

The guy sighed, then nodded toward Han Lie. "Knocked out in thirty seconds, beaten senseless like a dead dog... Yep, that’s the good work of that guy. Still want to spar with him?"

"No, no! Haha, I’d better just stick to my own training..."

Han Lie’s fearsome reputation spread even further, creating a tendency for people to greet him with forced smiles wherever he went.

This turned him into a solitary figure, but at least he didn’t have to deal with those pointless social interactions anymore.

Many beginners don’t understand that the socializing in gyms and fitness centers is mostly pointless. It appears as though everyone has a common hobby, and from that shared language, deep friendships can develop that might lead to an exchange of resources... but it’s all nonsense.

Essentially, bodybuilding and boxing are about male competition; the hierarchy of disdain is far more blatant than in the rest of society. Those with high talent look down on those with less, those who train well look down on the noobs, and those who work out just for Health scorn the fools who train muscles only for Physique...

Chat all you want at the gym, but once you’re out the door, will anyone even remember who you are? The weak may wish to ingratiate themselves, but why would the mighty bother with charity?

So yeah, if you’re going to work out, just work out. Don’t expect anything more beautiful. And if a man is unconditionally nice to you, you should immediately cover your backside and never drink any water he offers you.

Han Lie trained by himself for an hour and a half, not neglecting stamina, power, or dodging drills, and then went downstairs ahead of time.

He found Pan Ge and Liang Wu in the VIP section of MF, working on their final set of abdominal raises.

Well, it was quite funny, actually.

Having worked out for a while, Pan Ge was lifting 60 pounds, whereas Liang Wu, on her first day, was lifting 90 pounds.

Comparing the size of their behinds, yikes, there was at least one Xi Luting in between...

Han Lie tried to suppress it, but in the end, he couldn’t hold back a laugh.

"Hey, Pan Pan, what’s it like working out with Liang Wu?"

Pan Ge looked up with a radiant smile. "It feels great. I just have to glance to the side to find the motivation to keep going. I was really happy with today’s workout."

Tsk tsk, such a high-level attack can’t breach the defense anymore, can it?

"Fantastic! I just love your open-mindedness."

Han Lie smiled and gave a thumbs up, but alarms were ringing in his head—little sub Pan was evolving too fast, becoming ever more difficult to handle!

Liang Wu also gave Pan Ge face by proactively showing humility.

"I have no choice. I was born bulky. No matter what kind of talent I learn, what kind of figure I train, or how I dress up, I’ll never have Miss Pan’s elegance and ethereal quality. So I can only keep going down this wicked path. Honestly, I’m so envious of the way you dress; it’s so classy."

Despite men’s preference for it, pear-shaped and gourd-shaped physiques are not highly regarded among women. Very few actually appreciate them. Instead, they tend to envy taller, slimmer figures.

Because her flattery was somewhat heartfelt, Pan Ge was quite pleased by it.

"Senior Liang, how are you bulky? Men call your figure ’top-quality,’ and Han Lie loves it too, right, Lie Lie?"

Pan Ge always found opportunities to toss in a life-threatening question.

Han Lie sighed and shook his head. "Don’t drag me into this. I think you’re pretty top-quality in every way."

"That doesn’t sound like a compliment."

Pan Ge gave him a side-eye and huffed before turning and heading toward the changing room.

Liang Wu followed, but before she departed, she sought Han Lie’s permission. "Boss, can I go take a shower?"

Not like we can go together; what are you asking me for?
