Shen Tang gripped her collar tightly and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Help—Help me—"

Langkabasan burst into laughter again, "Hahaha... This area for miles around belongs to me, no matter how much you shout, nobody will hear you!"

He grabbed Shen Tang's chin, his eyes narrowing. "The more you shout, the more excited I get. Shout a couple more times to get the party started!"

Shen Tang gritted her teeth.

It's all my fault for not explaining things clearly. What should I do now?

Langkabasang was able to go down to help with disaster relief, so he shouldn't be a bad person. It's just that different customs led him to misunderstand.

Langkabasan applied force, and "rip!", a tear appeared in Shen Tang's collar.

"I have a man!" Shen Tang shouted.

Langkabasan stopped what she was doing, frowned at her, and asked, "You have a man?"

Shen Tang nodded hurriedly, "Yes! I have a man, you can't touch me!"

"Hmph, your man's a spineless coward too. He watched me take you away and didn't utter a single word! Follow me, and I'll make sure you can walk all over this grassland. Being my wife is incredibly comfortable!"

Langkabasan bent down again, "Come on! Let's have some fun."

The wooden door was kicked open with a loud bang.

"Damn it, who ruined my plans?" Langkabasan cursed as he stood up.

Shen Tang quickly stepped back and pulled her collar tighter.

Huo Xiuyuan stood at the door, strode up, and swung his fist at Langkabasang. Langkabasang was caught off guard and was punched in the face.

Langkabasan grabbed Huo Xiuyuan by the collar. "Who are you? Are you looking for death?"

Langkabasan was even taller than Huo Xiuyuan, and Shen Tang, worried that Huo Xiuyuan would be at a disadvantage, quickly said:

"He's my man!"

Langkabasan turned to look at Shen Tang, then at Huo Xiuyuan.

"Is she your wife?" Langkabasan frowned.

"Yes." Huo Xiuyuan pushed him away, walked over, took off his coat, and draped it over Shen Tang.

Shen Tang put on her clothes quickly and stood up.

Huo Xiuyuan grabbed her hand and started to walk out.

Langkabasan stretched out his long arm, blocking the way.

"I recognize you, Commander Huo Xiuyuan, you're a real man."

Huo Xiuyuan looked at him coldly, "Get out of the way."

Langkabasan didn't give way; he took a step and blocked the doorway completely.

"Commander Huo, I've taken a liking to this woman. Now that she's on my territory, you'll have to follow the rules if you want to take her away."

Huo Xiuyuan pulled Shen Tang behind him and said coldly, "I said get out of the way!"

"Commander Huo, your woman says she wants some beef jerky. Let's have a contest. If you win, you can take your woman, and I'll give you a cartload of beef jerky. How about it?" Langkabasang asked, raising his chin.

Huo Xiuyuan turned to look at Shen Tang, "You want some beef jerky?"

Shen Tang gripped his hand tightly and shook her head, saying, "No, let's go quickly."

Langkabasan was over 1.9 meters tall, with a muscular build like a bull. His arms were thicker than Shen Tang's waist, and his fists were about the size of a child's head when clenched. Huo Xiuyuan looked tiny standing next to him.

Huo Xiuyuan stared at Shen Tang for two seconds, then turned to Langkabasan and said, "Okay, I agree."

Langkabasan burst into laughter, "Alright, let's go!"

His gaze fell on Shen Tang, filled with a fierce determination to win.

Shen Tang stopped Huo Xiuyuan, frowning, and asked, "Why did you agree to him?"

Huo Xiuyuan turned to look at her, "I'm taking you with me, and I'm taking the dried beef you wanted with me too."

Huo Xiuyuan led Shen Tang out of the house. Langkabasang stood in the courtyard, waving at Huo Xiuyuan, "Come on, let's go!"

"Be careful, don't get hurt," Shen Tang said, frowning.

Langkabasan is really too strong.

"Don't worry." Huo Xiuyuan walked towards Langkabasan.

Langkabasan stared at Huo Xiuyuan with a smile on his lips. Without hesitation, Huo Xiuyuan rushed forward and swung his fist at his abdomen.

Langkabasang took several punches in a row. "Ah—" he yelled, grabbed Huo Xiuyuan by the belt, lifted him up, and then slammed him to the ground.

"Huo Xiuyuan!" Shen Tang called out anxiously.

"Haha, it's not too late to admit defeat."

Before Langkabasan could finish speaking, Huo Xiuyuan sprang up from the ground and punched him in the chin.

Langkabasan was knocked back several steps, and he shook his head.

"Commander Huo's punches are powerful!"

Huo Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, stomped his feet on the ground, and suddenly leaped into the air, punching him in the chest and kicking him in the forehead.

Taking advantage of Langkabasan's unsteady body, Huo Xiuyuan wrapped his legs around his neck, pulled him down, and then tightly strangled his neck.

Langkabasan gritted her teeth and desperately grabbed his leg, but she couldn't pull it off. His face went from bright red to bluish-purple.

Shen Tang watched nervously from the sidelines and shouted, "If you admit defeat, slap the ground three times!"

Langkabasan glanced at her, gritted his teeth, and tried to break free.

Huo Xiuyuan's legs did not relax at all, and Langkabasang's lips had turned purple. He slapped the ground three times with force.

Huo Xiuyuan finally released him, and the two lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Shen Tang rushed over and squatted down next to Huo Xiuyuan. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Huo Xiuyuan tilted his head and glanced at Langkabasan. "You lost."

Langkabasan, panting for a while, burst into laughter, "I lost, woman. You can take it, and the beef jerky too!"

Shen Tang looked at Langkabasang and said, "It's my fault for not explaining clearly, which made you misunderstand. I'll pay for the beef jerky."

Langkabasan stood up, his tall frame towering over everyone. "What do you take me for? I'm a man of my word; what I say I'll give, I mean I'll give."

He looked at Huo Xiuyuan, "Commander Huo, I admire you! You're the first person I've ever admired. I accept losing to you. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask."

Huo Xiuyuan looked at him and said, "Your grasslands have their own rules, but you must also respect the wishes of the women."

Langkabasan scratched the back of his head. "Got it."

"You guys go first, I'll deliver the beef jerky tomorrow!" Langkabasang said.

"Alright!" Huo Xiuyuan didn't say anything more, took Shen Tang's hand and mounted the horse.

He shielded Shen Tang in front of him, flicked his whip, and galloped off to the other side of the grassland.

Langkabasan wiped the corner of her mouth, chuckled softly, and said, "A perfect match!"

"Where did you get the horse?" Shen Tang asked.

Huo Xiuyuan remained silent. Shen Tang knew he was angry, so she reached out and took his hand that was gripping the saddle, gently stroking it. "Don't be angry."

"Are you brainless? You just follow someone home like that? What if I'm a step later? Are you really going to become his wife right here on this grassland?" Huo Xiuyuan's voice rang out above him.

His chest heaved with anger, pressing against Shen Tang's back.

"Yes, I deserve it! It's not so bad to be his wife on this grassland. He's tall and strong, full of energy. With him, there's an endless supply of yak meat. We can have a litter of babies, and life will be carefree!" Shen Tang raged on.
