“I won’t let you do this.” Chu Qing expressed his attitude.

“But can you stop it?” Tang Ziyan was like a cat playing with a mouse.

“I can try.” Chu Qing clenched his fists.

“Chu Qing, I confess that I am truly tempted by you. In the future, the position of your official husband will undoubtedly be mine. However, this incident has infuriated me. Moreover, witnessing your protectiveness towards that woman has only further fueled my anger. I am so furious that I feel like eliminating her. However, I realize that this would bring you sadness and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, 1 have decided to grant you a chance,” Tang Ziyan expressed, her emotions charged with a mix of desire, anger, and a willingness to compromise.

“I’ve heard that you had an arm-wrestling match with Ye Chenxi and emerged victorious. How about we have an arm-wrestling match today? If you win, I’ll spare her for now. But if you lose, I’ll break both of her hands. Of course, you can continue having fun with her. After all, she still has two legs, 24 ribs, and her life,” Tang Ziyan declared fiercely, her tone laced with a dangerous intensity.

“Alright, I accept the challenge,” Chu Qing replied.

Women… Why does it have to come to this?

After receiving an answer, Tang Ziyan cleared out an area on the desk and placed one hand on it. She looked at Chu Qing provocatively.

Chu Qing was not sure if he could win against Tang Ziyan. The last time he competed with her, he lost. However, after these few days, he had already broken through to the Core Formation realm and his strength had increased greatly. He might not lose.

To be safe, Chu Qing quietly took out a Fury Essence Pill from his storage space and held it in his left palm. He stretched out his right hand and placed it on Tang Ziyan’s right hand.

Upon exchanging glances, both of them launched their attacks simultaneously. Two small craters instantly formed on the sturdy mahogany table, demonstrating the explosive power emanating from Tang Ziyan’s slender hand.

Chu Qing was speechless. The women in this world were ridiculously strong. At this rate, Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan would at most be evenly matched and the two of them would be in a stalemate.

However, this time, Chu Qing had to win. He clenched his left hand tightly and crushed the pill in his palm. The medicinal power passed through his skin and seeped into his limbs and bones. Chu Qing’s strength instantly increased by 30%.

Bam!

With a resounding thud, Chu Qing exerted his strength and forced Tang Ziyan’s right hand down onto the table. At that moment, Chu Qing no longer felt that he had resorted to cheating. He realized that external factors could also contribute to one’s strength. Tang Ziyan had never explicitly forbidden him from using any aids or medicine.

Chu Qing won. The outcome was decided in an instant. Tang Ziyan was not prepared at all. She stared blankly at her hand, which was pressed on the table by Chu Qing as if she had seen a ghost.

“How is this possible?” Tang Ziyan’s pride shattered as she muttered in disbelief.

“Remember your words.” Chu Qing retracted his hand. He really should go home.

It was not until Chu Qing walked out of the office that Tang Ziyan came back to her senses. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness. She got up and ran to the window. She looked down and saw that Chu Qing had not gone far downstairs.

“Chu Qing, remember this well. Let’s put aside what happened this time. But don’t let me catch you doing something like this again. Otherwise, hmph…” Tang Ziyan shouted at Chu Qing, her voice filled with warning and a hint of threat.

“Also, you’re my boyfriend. Even if I don’t marry you, I won’t let go. 1’11 pester you for the rest of my life.”

Chu Qing paused and listened, feeling a sense of helplessness. It became apparent that his future life would not be easy. However, he wondered if there was a way to dismantle Tang Ziyan’s arrogant mindset.. Did he have to gradually chip away at her pride, step by step, until it lay in the dust?
