The Woman I've Yearned for All This Time, Just as Expected

People were amazed.

Especially the cultivators from the Central Province, who considered themselves to be more noble and powerful than the cultivators from the Four Desolations.

And the Four Desolations Holy Lands compared to the Central Province Holy Lands? They are quite different!

But at this moment, Qi Zixiao is fighting Zou Hu to a standstill with the help of the secret medicine? That's already quite remarkable and worthy of amazement.

but...

The cultivators from the Four Desolations, especially the Purple Mansion Disciple, all frowned upon hearing such words, feeling quite uncomfortable.

After all, such words were clearly a condescending attitude in commenting on Qi Zixiao and looking down on all the cultivators of the Four Desolations.

It would be a miracle if they could be happy at this point.

"But then again, none of them used any treasures... otherwise, it might have been even more exciting, right?"

Someone suddenly raised a question.

"What do you know?!"

"Such Peerless Genius all possess an invincible belief, confident that they are unmatched among their peers. When fighting against their peers, they rely on their own strength and want to display their invincible style! To win by relying on magic weapons? Which of these geniuses would choose such a path?!"

"I see..."

After being reprimanded, many people suddenly realized what had happened.

but...

Upon hearing this, Qi Zixiao, who was engaged in a fierce battle, secretly rolled her eyes.

What does it mean to unleash an invincible belief?

What does it mean that in a battle between geniuses, no magical treasures will be used?

This sounds like saying you can't use colorless cubes in PvP!

What? I can't use my treasures? Even the Heaven's Chosen Assembly doesn't prohibit the use of magical treasures! Except for things as overpowered as Imperial Weapons.

If others don't ban it, I can use it!

If it weren't for the fact that the Star Chasing Bow was stolen and unusable in the Three Saints City, this Saintess could have shot Zou Hu into surrender in no time!

Or, the Profound Sky Sword would also work!

Unfortunately, they're all stolen goods and can't be used!

There are other treasures, but the problem is that if I use a magic weapon, wouldn't that mean the other party will also use one?

As a sacred land that has long occupied the Central Province, the Nine Dragons Holy Land has a much stronger foundation than the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

In other words, logically speaking, Zou Hu's magic weapon should be no weaker than his other magic weapons.

In this situation, why would we need magic weapons?

Are you just making trouble for yourself?

Therefore, Qi Zixiao had no choice but to fight empty-handed!

Soon, the battle reached its climax...

In everyone's eyes, Qi Zixiao's face also began to gradually turn pale, and his originally even more imposing aura than Zou Hu's was slowly declining.

"That secret medicine that unleashes potential... its effects are almost worn off!"

The outcome is decided.

"If I were her, I would have conceded defeat. What's the point of continuing the fight? It would only make us a laughingstock!"

The words that reached her ears made the Snow Maiden frown slightly, and she couldn't help but sneer, "What do you vulgar people know?!"

"As Saintess, how can I lack an invincible belief?! Even when at a disadvantage, my belief will not waver in the slightest!"

"But anyone with eyes can see that she is doomed to lose!"

"Even knowing defeat is inevitable, do you have the courage to fight with all your might?"

"That's sophistry!"

"So you can't become Saintess, and you can't even earn a decent reputation."

The Snow Maiden felt a wave of disdain, but then felt much better.

She had always disliked Qi Zixiao and wanted to trample Qi Zixiao underfoot and seize the position of Saintess countless times.

Qi Zixiao is her target!

At this moment, Qi Zixiao was clearly outmatched, yet she was still fighting bravely, which she greatly admired. But then someone jumped out to slander her target?!

If she could endure this, she wouldn't be Snow Maiden.

But at this moment, seeing Qi Zixiao's momentum further decline, she couldn't help but sigh, "I'm afraid, I'm really going to lose."

When!!!

Zou Hu's fist imprint was as large as a mountain, and behind him, the phantom of a white tiger roared.

An astonishing fist imprint descended from the sky. Qi Zixiao tried her best to defend herself, but... the effects of the medicine finally wore off completely. Her face turned pale, and although she was still resisting, she was seriously injured and coughed up blood.

"Ah?!"

The shocking sight of blood made Zou Hu realize what was happening, and he exclaimed, "I... I didn't mean to!"

"I was just playing so enthusiastically, I got so engrossed in the game, this..."

"Zixiao, are you alright?"

"Shut up!"

Qi Zixiao 'struggled' to her feet, her delicate body swaying as if she might fall at any moment. "Again!"

"I can still fight!"

"We can't fight anymore!"

Zou Hu waved his hands repeatedly and retreated continuously. "You really can't fight anymore. You are already seriously injured, and the side effects of this kind of secret medicine are very serious. You need to heal your wounds."

I said, we can still fight!

Qi Zixiao stepped forward and 'laboriously' activated her own aura, but it was many times weaker than before.

It's obvious at a glance that they have almost no fighting power left.

This made Zou Hu feel like he was sitting on a wax statue, especially since Qi Zixiao was swaying with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, yet her face remained incredibly resolute, making him feel even more regretful.

"You brute!"

He kept cursing himself in his heart. "How could I get so engrossed in the fight?! I knew that Zixiao was forcing her to fight me with the help of a secret medicine, but I didn't know to stop."

"You brute!"

"Now look what's happened. We've mistaken her for a seriously injured person. How are we going to face her now?"

"How can I possibly get her to accept me?!"

Zou Hu was stunned.

He had truly fallen for Qi Zixiao, and it was a genuine affection from the bottom of his heart, even though Qi Zixiao hadn't shown him any interest yet.

but...

Feelings can be cultivated over time, can't they?

He was confident that one day he would be able to win Qi Zixiao's acceptance.

But what about now?!

Without realizing it, I seriously injured someone!

With this, you expect people to accept you?

Are you crazy?!

Especially now, Qi Zixiao still wants to fight?

What kind of state is this? Seriously injured! And the side effects of that secret medicine that unleashed his potential are starting to kick in, right?

In this situation, what can we use to fight?

What if we continue fighting and damage our foundation?

No!!!

Seeing Qi Zixiao still stubbornly attacking, Zou Hu's guilt, self-blame, and longing for love erupted at this moment.

He raised his hand instantly.

I surrender!

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

Apart from the constant roar of the battle zone between Lin Fan and Du Chuan, there was almost no other sound, and everyone was stunned.

Dan the Fatty and the others glanced at the Divine Calculator, and then all gave him a thumbs up.

Wow, that's brilliant!

In that light, isn't Zou Hu's weakness precisely our Highness?!

Even the Divine Calculator was somewhat bewildered, but that didn't stop him from maintaining an air of profound mystery, his expression a half-smile, making him appear quite extraordinary.

However, this thing has no hair on its head, making it look somewhat fierce.

The referee was stunned, blinked, looked at the two men, and even cast a questioning look at Zou Hu.

To everyone's surprise, Zou Hu remained resolute and nodded repeatedly.

"..."

"Zou Hu forfeits, Qi Zixiao wins."

boom.

The stands erupted in chaos instantly.

"What's going on?!"

"This..."

"Zou Hu admits defeat?"

"He's clearly going to win!"

"Sigh, don't you understand? It seems Zou Hu is quite the romantic, willing to admit defeat for the sake of his beloved..."

"What a good man!"

"It's understandable. After all, Zou Hu has already shown his prowess, and everyone knows he's the victor. Besides, Qi Zixiao must be incredibly grateful right now, right? Perhaps soon, Zou Hu will win the heart of his beloved?!"

Grandstand, Nine Dragons Holy Land area.

The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment, especially Zou Hu's Protector Disciple, who were at a loss for words...

"Isn't this a bit too much???"

"Fortunately, His Highness has already won. Although he conceded defeat, he is the victor, and everyone knows that!"

"It's the Three Lifetimes Method..."

"Oh, what a pity!"

"Huh?! Wait a minute, are you all looking at Qi Zixiao?"

"She??? Wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth?"

"Huh? How did she recover? Wasn't she seriously injured? Why does she look completely unharmed right now?"

"I... I was scammed?!"

After their initial surprise, they gradually came to their senses.

It seems that His Highness has been... deceived!

Before the referee made the announcement, Qi Zixiao looked extremely miserable, as if she might fall at any moment, and even her own foundation was about to be damaged.

But what about now?

Its dazzling appearance clearly shows it's completely unharmed!

At this moment, how could they not understand?!

It was clearly Qi Zixiao who put on an act just now, pretending to be seriously injured!

Then...

Did they really fool their own prince?

this...

The faces of the Kowloon elders were almost as black as coal, and they all couldn't help but curse.

"That Demoness!!!"

"I knew then that none of the Purple Mansion Demoness were good people!"

"That Zou Hu is such a romantic! I told him to give it his all and make sure we win, but he actually did it!!!"

"I'm so angry!"

"This Qi Zixiao is exactly like Su the Runner from back then!!!"

"Weren't Zou Hu and the Holy Master exactly the same back then?!"

"... Do you think Zou Hu knows about what happened between the Holy Master and Su the Runner back then?"

"... Knows nothing!"

"That unlucky kid!"

"But it's all good. Although the Three Lifetimes Method is important, it's not absolutely necessary for our Nine Dragons Holy Land. The fact that Zou Hu was deceived at this moment can be considered a lesson for all the young disciples of Nine Dragons, letting them know that they must always be wary of the Purple Mansion Demoness!"

"No, all Purple Mansion Disciple must be on guard!"

"Yes, after being so deceived by Qi Zixiao, Zou Hu will most likely be disheartened and no longer be troubled by this Demoness. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"..."

They muttered amongst themselves, cursing and comforting each other.

Meanwhile, Zou Hu, who had not yet left the fighting area, was taken aback when he saw Qi Zixiao instantly regain her energetic state.

but...

Just when everyone thought he would be furious and enraged, he suddenly laughed.

And he was laughing very happily.

"She truly is the person I've been longing for!"

"Completely different from other glamorous and cheap women, and not like those seemingly innocent but actually scheming women..."
