My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

And opposite her.

It was less than ten zhang away.

Fang Yi'ai stood silently like a lifeless black iron tower.

He was wearing a pure black sleeveless monk's robe.

His muscular physique, as if cast from refined steel, with its sharp angles, gleamed with a powerful bronze luster in the sunlight.

He was not carrying any weapons.

He simply crossed his arms and gazed calmly at the imposing princess before him with his unwavering eyes.

A gentle breeze was blowing.

He picked up a few fallen leaves from the ground.

The two stared at each other, neither speaking first nor making a move.

The air was thick with a tense, oppressive atmosphere.

But strangely, beneath this oppressive atmosphere, there seems to be an undercurrent of ambiguous tension that makes one blush.

Outside the training ground.

On a tall, secluded watchtower.

"Sixteenth Brother, do you think this kid can win today?"

Crown Prince Li Chengqian, shirtless, leaned against the railing of the watchtower.

He held a monocular spiritual telescope in his hand, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement.

"This is my personally trained chief disciple in body cultivation! If he can't even control a woman today, I'll make him run ten laps around Chang'an City carrying a 100,000-jin cauldron when we get back!"

Beside Li Chengqian.

King Li Chen of Qin was lying sprawled out on a grand chair.

He was holding a plate of spiced melon seeds, cracking them open with gusto.

"Brother, you just don't understand."

Li Chen spat out the sunflower seed shells, a knowing, wicked smile playing on his lips.

"Things between men and women aren't something that can be easily resolved by winning or losing. Look at the way they're looking at each other, do they look like they're here to fight?"

"The sparks almost set the training ground floor tiles on fire."

As Li Chen spoke, he skillfully took out several high-definition image crystals from his storage bag.

The area around the watchtower was quickly set up.

"This is the most explosive romance drama of the year in the Tang Dynasty. I must record it from every angle. If I run out of money later, I can sell it to the Chang'an gossip weekly."

On the training ground.

The atmosphere had become so tense that it reached a breaking point.

"Fang Yi'ai!"

Princess Gaoyang finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She suddenly flicked the long whip in her hand, and with a crisp "crack," a dazzling spark flew through the air.

"If you dare to be as rude as you were yesterday again, this princess will absolutely skin you alive!"

Faced with this aggressive threat.

Fang Yi'ai's cold, hard face remained expressionless.

"It was you who insisted on hitting me."

Fang Yi'ai's voice was deep and hoarse, exuding an undeniable coldness.

"I won't hold back."

"Who asked you to hold back!"

Princess Gaoyang was so angry that she stomped her feet.

This blockhead! This muscle monster who has no sense of romance!

Can't he see that I specially changed into my best red dress today, and even carefully did my makeup?!

In truth, Princess Gaoyang's mind was already in complete turmoil.

For the past two weeks, she has been repeatedly defeated but never given up, and every day she has been relentlessly beaten down by this man.

Strangely enough, she didn't grow to hate him more.

Instead, every night when I close my eyes, all I see in my mind is his broad, sturdy back and those cold yet deep eyes.

She invited him to the martial arts arena today.

It was nominally a fight to the death.

But in reality, she just wanted to see if this man would feel even the slightest bit of pity for her.

"Enough talk! Take this!"

Princess Gaoyang bit her red lips, forcibly suppressing the frantic pounding in her heart.

She let out a delicate shout, and the true energy within her body erupted without reservation.

The fiery red whip resembled a dragon emerging from the sea.

With flames filling the sky and a piercing shriek tearing through the air, it swept towards Fang Yi'ai!

Fang Yi'ai's eyes narrowed.

He slowly lowered his hands, which were clasped to his chest, and his legs sank slightly.

A surge of pure, peak-level, and violent blood energy erupted from his body!

Just at that critical moment, when the two were about to collide.

"Sister—! You big blockhead—!"

A clear, sweet, and penetrating voice, like that of a lark, calling out to its childlike child.

Without warning, the sound came from the gate of the training ground.

The sound came so suddenly.

The sudden arrival stunned the two people who were gathering their strength in the training ground, as well as the big shots who were spying from the watchtower.

Accompanied by calls.

A huge, round, furry object, the size of an adult wild boar.

With an astonishing speed that defies all the laws of physics, it darted in through the door with a "whoosh".

It is none other than Fatty Four, the guardian beast of the Great Tang Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect!

On Fatty Four's broad, soft back.

Princess Sizi of Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty was wearing a pale yellow tutu.

She gripped the soft fur on Fatty's neck tightly with both of her little hands, her face full of excitement and joy.

The little girl had originally planned to take her son, Fatty, out for a walk today.

As I passed by the training ground, I heard some noise coming from inside.

Peeking out, he was surprised to see his favorite sister, Gao Yang, and Fang, the big blockhead who often got beaten up by the Crown Prince.

In Sizi's worldview, everyone gathered in the training ground must be playing a game!

"I want to play too! I want to play too!"

The little ox was so excited that its big eyes were sparkling.

Fatty Four, a glutton, may be lazy at times, but when he runs, his speed is definitely at the level of a demon king.

Its four short legs moved swiftly on the ground, like a cannonball being fired.

He ran straight towards Princess Gaoyang in the center of the arena.

At this moment, Princess Gaoyang was in mid-air, her true energy bursting forth as she leaped into the air.

She had just swung her long whip.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, she instinctively turned her head.

"Sizi?!"

Princess Gaoyang was terrified.

Why did this girl run in at this time!

On the training ground, swords and spears have no eyes, and true energy surges.

If this precious jewel of the Tang Dynasty is harmed, Father Emperor will surely tear this training ground apart!

In that instant when Gao Yang was distracted...

Fatty Four had already rushed in front of her like a gust of wind.

"Sister, catch me!"

Sizi had no idea what danger was.

When she saw Princess Gaoyang, she was so happy that she immediately let go of the cat's fur.

The little girl kicked hard on Fatty Si's back with both legs.

He was like a small cannonball launched from a gun, with his short arms outstretched.

He lunged fiercely at Princess Gaoyang, who was in mid-air!

This is absolutely life-threatening.

Princess Gaoyang was currently surrounded by a surge of powerful protective energy.

If the rhinoceros were allowed to crash into her like that, the powerful recoil would definitely seriously injure this little girl who had no cultivation.

"not good!"

Princess Gaoyang was so frightened that her face turned pale.

In the blink of an eye, she had no time to think.

To protect her younger sister, she didn't hesitate to forcibly cut off the flow of true energy within her body!

"puff!"

The true energy flowed backward, and Princess Gaoyang felt a sweet taste in her throat, immediately accepting the internal injury.

The flames on her body went out instantly.
