"Bai Mao Yu, what right do you have to call him trash? So what if he's my trash boyfriend," Changsun Qinghe said, her anger flaring as Bai Mao Yu immediately labeled Zhou Hong as garbage.
"Isn't he? With your caliber of woman, do you really expect to find a genius?" Bai Mao Yu sneered, a disdainful curl to his lips.
"Zhou Hong, let's go. Don't bother with him," Changsun Qinghe said, quickly pulling Zhou Hong away, not wanting to waste any more words with Bai Mao Yu.
"Wait, did I say you could leave?" Bai Mao Yu called out, his gaze turning icy. He had intended to teach Zhou Hong a lesson in front of Changsun Qinghe and wouldn't let them simply walk away.
"Bai Mao Yu, what else do you want? Since you look down on me, I look down on you too. We can just pretend we never met. What else do you want?" Changsun Qinghe asked, feigning incomprehension.
"Of course I look down on you. But you seem quite arrogant. So, your boyfriend, I want to teach him a lesson. That way, you'll know the consequences of offending a genius from the Earth Ranking."
"You!" Changsun Qinghe was furious, never expecting to encounter such a pervert on a blind date.
"Kid, crawl between my legs, and I might let you go today," Bai Mao Yu said menacingly, his eyes fixed on Zhou Hong.
"Really?" Zhou Hong asked with a smile.
"Of course. Just crawl under me."
"Alright."
"Zhou Hong, absolutely not," Changsun Qinghe quickly stopped him, thinking Zhou Hong was actually going to crawl between Bai Mao Yu's legs.
"Haha, don't worry, why would I actually crawl?" Zhou Hong had initially intended to cripple Bai Mao Yu, to make him a eunuch. But then he remembered he only had thirty seconds left, and what difference was there between being a eunuch and being him?
"I can't be bothered with your nonsense. Get down!" Bai Mao Yu didn't want to waste any more time. With a swift palm strike, he aimed for Zhou Hong's thigh, intending to break it.
However, Zhou Hong instantly grabbed his palm.
"Crack." With a forceful twist, Zhou Hong snapped Bai Mao Yu's arm.
"Ah," Bai Mao Yu cried out in pain, disbelief etched on his face.
Changsun Qinghe was also slightly surprised. She had thought Zhou Hong might not be a match for Bai Mao Yu, but he had far exceeded her expectations and was much stronger than she had imagined.
"You... Who exactly are you?" Bai Mao Yu asked incredulously, lying on the ground and ignoring the pain. He was an Earth Ranking genius, yet Zhou Hong had defeated him so easily.
"Is there a need to tell you? Bai Mao Yu, if you crawl between my legs, I might let you go today. Otherwise, don't blame me for breaking your other arm."
"Hahaha, how arrogant! Do you know what kind of family I come from? How dare you threaten me?" Bai Mao Yu laughed in anger.
"A scion of a seventh-rate family dares to act so high and mighty in front of me? Fine, I'll reveal my true identity. I'm a hidden scion of a sixth-rate family." Zhou Hong casually lied. He had initially considered killing Bai Mao Yu, but doing so might implicate Changsun Qinghe and her family. Thus, he decided to lie and claim he was from a sixth-rate family.
"What?" Bai Mao Yu's expression visibly changed in fear.
"Do you still feel superior now? If I kill you, your family wouldn't dare utter a single word," Zhou Hong said haughtily.
"Impossible. If you were from a sixth-rate family, how could I not know who you are?"
"Idiot, haven't you heard of hidden scions? I command you now to apologize to Changsun Qinghe, and then crawl between my legs. Otherwise, you die." Zhou Hong's gaze turned cold. At worst, he could kill Bai Mao Yu and then visit his family to kill a few pillars of their clan. It would just be a bit troublesome.
Bai Mao Yu looked half-believing, half-doubting, unsure if it was true, but he dared not gamble.
"I'm sorry, Changsun Qinghe," Bai Mao Yu said after a few seconds of thought, bowing to her.
"Hmph," Changsun Qinghe huffed slightly.
"And also, crawl under my crotch."
Bai Mao Yu gritted his teeth and crawled under Zhou Hong's legs.
Seeing that he had complied, Zhou Hong naturally didn't want to dirty his hands by killing him, which would only waste time on cleanup.
"Remember this, Bai Mao Yu. If you dare to trouble my wife or her family again, don't blame me for destroying your entire clan. I mean what I say."
With that, Zhou Hong took Changsun Qinghe's hand and left the tea house.
After leaving the tea house, Zhou Hong quickly asked, "How was my act just now? Did I seem like I really came from a sixth-rate family?"
Changsun Qinghe said speechlessly, "It's a shame you're not an actor. You almost convinced me just now that you really came from a sixth-rate family."
"Hahaha, I was just trying to scare him. What family do I have? I'm just an insignificant nobody from Jinshi City." Zhou Hong chuckled.
Changsun Qinghe sighed inwardly. The way Zhou Hong called her his wife just now felt so warm. If she really were Zhou Hong's wife, how wonderful that would be. His strength surpassed Bai Mao Yu's. To be the wife of such a genius, perhaps only those who accumulated merit in their past lives would be so fortunate. She suddenly envied Qiao Xiaoyu.
"Zhou Hong, what is your actual strength? You're even stronger than Bai Mao Yu. I originally thought you might not be his match," Changsun Qinghe asked curiously as they walked down the street. sudan novel network
"Uh, is this considered strong?" Zhou Hong felt he hadn't even used his full strength, yet they already thought he was powerful.
Changsun Qinghe said speechlessly, "Of course! Bai Mao Yu is a genius on the Kyoto Earth Ranking, ranked thirty-sixth. At the age of twenty-eight, he has cultivated to the ninety-second level of a Martial Artist."
"Oh, oh." Zhou Hong nodded, feeling a hint of helplessness. It seemed Kyoto wasn't all that impressive if a ninety-second level Martial Artist could be called an Earth Ranking genius.
"Since you could defeat Bai Mao Yu, you must be at least above the ninety-second level, right?" Changsun Qinghe asked.
"Haha, everyone in Jinshi City knows I'm only at the sixteenth level of a Martial Artist," Zhou Hong said with a laugh.
"Showing off. Others might think you're only at the sixteenth level, but I know your real capabilities," Changsun Qinghe said, giving Zhou Hong a playful glare, her eyes twinkling.
Since Zhou Hong wouldn't reveal the truth, Changsun Qinghe naturally wouldn't press further, as that would be annoying.
"It's my honor to have such a capable friend as you," Changsun Qinghe said with a smile.
"You're too kind. It's my fortune to meet such a beautiful lady like you."
