Chapter 23
Ye Yunxi woke up in pain.
There was no way her frail body could have put up with the amount of exercise it had gotten the day before. Her muscles protested in soreness, and she could hardly raise herself.
However, for something like exercise, one needed to persevere; otherwise, the pain would be in vain!
Gritting her teeth, she made an exchange for ten points of Physical strength, put on her clothes, washed up, and went for her morning workout.
She followed her previous exercise plan—to build a foundation by running, and then she would be able to start other sorts of training.
Every step she took caused her muscles to demur in pain. Ye Yunxi clenched her jaw and persisted in her exercise.
The system took all this into account and couldn’t help but remark, “Great Host, do stop and rest if you’re tired.”
“As a system, have you any idea where the limits of a human being lie?”
The system remained silent.
It faltered for the third time. The limits of a human being… it didn’t seem like an answer to this existed in the database!
Ye Yunxi took in big gulps of air as she ran. “A human being’s limits are in their own hands. If one feels they can’t do it, then they won’t be able to do anything. So I will not rest. This is not my limit!”
Although it was just a system, it secretly felt that its Host was rather dashing. Fortunately, it managed to hold itself back in time; otherwise, it would have contributed Awesomeness EXP to her again…
It was only after Ye Yunxi had had an hour of morning exercise, washed up, and eaten her breakfast that Ye Yunji got out of bed. He yawned as he stared at his little sister in wide-eyed amazement.
“You went for morning exercise?”
“Uh, huh.”
“You… are you alright?”
His little sister, who had always been weak and feeble, had gone out to exercise on her own free will?
“Because I want to reinvent myself!”
Ye Yunxi calmly smiled while picking up her satchel in one hand as she turned to leave the house.
Her long hair brushed against her eyes. Ye Yunji caught a quick glimpse of her exquisite side profile. In Ye Yunji’s memory, he had never seen his sister possess this much vitality and vigor before.
She was beautiful, extremely dazzling!
His little sister was as brilliant as the sun!
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
When their exercise ended, the students streamed back to school.
Ye Yunxi strolled along the route to school. The path was lined by shady pine forests on both sides, and once in a while, she would see elderly people with swords across their backs, coming and going as they went about their morning training.
“Oh look, isn’t that our trashy little sister Ye Yunxi?”
Lu Wenwei, leading a bunch of boys, stepped right into Ye Yunxi’s path. They started to scoff at and taunt her.
“You must have come in last again in the exercise, right? Really, why didn’t the teacher transfer you to our zone’s competitive team, all of us would have been promoted!”
“Hahaha, that’s right. With this piece of trash, none of us will ever come in last!”
“Sigh, Sun Chao’s team is so lucky!”
Ye Yunxi looked up with an indifferent expression. Even in her previous life, she was quite uninhibited. Simply put, she was more like a hooligan in nature than a prim and proper person.
Thus, if someone were to hue and cry in front of her, she wouldn’t just obediently observe the rules and do nothing; she would retaliate.
However, these boys had no self-awareness and continued to hurl insults loudly.
Ye Yunxi shook out her wrists, her eyes slowly scanned over them, wondering who her first victim should be.
“Hey, are you guys bullying Yunxi again?”
A petite figure dashed in front of Ye Yunxi, shielding and protecting the girl behind itself.
It was an adorable figure with long curly hair, an upturned nose, and imposing round eyes. It was like a fierce little lion baring its teeth.
It was Helian Moxie, the girl’s childhood buddy.
