Lazily Yours.

Chapter 17: Provoke

Battleground.

One word was enough to stop Zhang Jiu's mind from functioning. He stared at her smile as a chill ran down his spine. What was happening? Until now, he wasn't able to understand what had gone down. He didn't see Lyca move, all he saw was Huang Xiaoxuan falling on the ground like a doll whose strings were severed. And yet, her word 'battleground' was enough for him to understand the reason behind her actions.

In front of an enemy, talking was useless. It was better to act and show how formidable you are in one move. "You"

"I am tired." Lyca withdrew her gaze. Once again, her face turned blank, no sign of the chilling appearance that she had earlier could be seen in her eyes. What was happening? Even Huang Li Duo was confused.

"Lyca! Explain yourself now! What did you do to" Before Huang Li Duo could complete his sentence, his daughter stirred and opened her eyes. Confusion could be seen in Huang Xiaoxuan's eyes as she looked at her father. Did something happen?

"Father?" she asked. Until now, Huang Xiaoxuan didn't have any idea that Lyca had already attacked her and made her unconscious in a single move. She looked at her father's anger as she wondered why she was in her father's arms. "Father I am fine." She immediately noticed that her father's gaze was glued at Lyca. "Father"

"Li Xian take her to the infirmary. Have the doctors thoroughly check her and see if she injured something." He feared that his daughter actually suffered an internal bleeding! While most of the people here didn't see the attack coming, Huang Li Duo saw Lyca use her finger to attack something in his daughter's neck. It was too quick that he wasn't sure what part of his daughter's neck was hit.

The next thing that he saw was Huang Xiaoxuan fainting from that attack. Too quick. It was just too quick that he could not understand what had happened. Why would Lyca attack his daughter? However, Lyca's one word made him understand her intention. Zhang Jiu said to treat this as a battle ground. And treat it as such she did. In a fight, there was no place for permission and mercy. No hesitation or doubts. It was a life or death situation.

"Father"

"Just follow Li Xian." He stood and helped his daughter up. Huang Li Duo might be extremely prideful and arrogant but he would always prioritize his children first. He gave Huang Xiaoxuan a gentle look before he patted her shoulder, as if assuring her that everything would be fine. Then he turned towards Lyca who was not even looking at him but was looking at Zhang Jiu instead.

"Lyca.." He started, his eyes glance through Lyca's thin arms and small waist. Clearly, she never practiced any strength training and would be weak against someone double her size. However, that attack that she did was too quick and merciless. If she faced someone bigger than her, even Huang Li Duo won't be able to tell which one will win. "Explain yourself."

"Battlefield." Lyca turned her attention towards Huang Li Duo. She was honestly too lazy to explain. Since these people didn't understand her intention then she wouldn't waste her saliva explaining herself to stupid people! She lazily looked at Huang Li Duo before she looked at Shen Qui. Seeing the latter was already staring at her, Lyca suddenly winked at him.

She winked at Shen Qui! This cemented their assumption that this Lady Huang is indeed infatuated with Shen Qui!

"Talk properly!" Huang Li Duo said, his voice was not loud yet it contained the authority that he held in this training ground. "Why did you hurt her when she was unprepared? You took her by surprise and fatally wounded her!"

Lyca raised an eyebrow. Is this old man serious? "She's alive, isn't she?" If she intended to fatally hurt Huang Xiaoxuan, she would probably be dead by now.

"You"Of course, Huang Li Duo couldn't rebut her words. His daughter was indeed alive and well. She was able to walk on her own, her face is not pale, her eyes were also clear and bright. "Still! That attack was uncalled for?"

"Formidable talents." Lyca said. "What you call formidable is called gymnastics. What I call formidable is enough to kill you in three seconds." She shook her head. She immediately regretted her words. She spoke too much. It seems that all energy in her body was about to run out. She seriously needed her sleep.

Who would have thought that Lyca would be thinking about sleeping in the middle of a tense atmosphere like this?

"Cousin what you did was indeed brilliant but it was far too dangerous. Xiaoxuan is a weak little girl. How could you attack her and make her faint?" Zhang Jiu chimed in. "Your attack was too crafty but it was dirty to surprise your opponent like that."

Lyca didn't respond. She scoffed and gave him a mocking smirk. Dirty? Crafty? These people were clueless about what a battlefield is! Of course, she chose to keep her words to herself and waited for her uncle to say something. Lyca knew that despite Huang Li Duo's arrogance, the man was loyal to her grandfather. He was loyal to the Huang Family. And that was one of the reasons why he was still standing there in front of Lyca.

But that didn't mean she would just let this man trample her and attempt to hurt her. She had been silent for too long that these people thought they could actually scheme against her. How pitiful. If she was not too lazy to act, this Huang Li Duo and even Zhang Jiu would have also lost their consciousness by now. After all, she was always ruthless to people who were planning to hurt her.

Lyca's mind was actually pretty simple. She would let these people talk to her as if she is a nuisance. But she won't let them touch a strand of her hair. Lyca intentionally hurt Huang Xiaoxuan to establish this fact. She wanted Huang Li Duo and Zhang Jiu to understand that she was not someone that they would want to provoke.
