Why Did The Good Ol’ Enemy Force The Marriage? - Chapter 41

The Marshal’s Protection Squads, including Damel, were scrubbed by a realization today:

Madam said he can fight, and he really can fight.

Although he was caught by his ankle, Ji Xingjue reacted very quickly. He hooked his toes, and when he retracted it, he successfully left a mark on Qi Qing’s chest. Qi Qing squinted his eyes, turned his body and approached in a flash, and the strength of his blow was unforgiving.

Tian Luo immediately covered her eyes, unable to bear to see Ji Xingjue being sent flying.

However, a picture leaked from her fingers—Ji Xingjue’s waist was surprisingly flexible as he folded down in an incredible way, and stretched like a bow, easily avoiding the blow.

The Lord Marshal didn’t get annoyed at all when the attack failed, but instead he obediently clung to his waistline and gave him a little support.

There was an inexplicable lingering feeling in the action.

These two people, who fought back and forth ruthlessly, as well as without showing each other any mercy, but inexplicably, there seemed to be strands of thread wrapping around, together with a sense of touching emotions.

Chen Pi opened his mouth and muttered to himself, “Why do I feel like we shouldn’t be here at this time?”

Tian Luo continued to cover her face, “You’re right, but do you dare to leave?”

Damel thought that the innocent child was shy, so he put out his hand to cover her eyes, but was slapped away by the latter. He shrank his hand, feeling aggrieved. He observed the two people who were fighting in the field for a while, and was amazed. “Madam usually doesn’t show anything, but I didn’t expect… It seems that Madam and the Marshal are the same.”

The fighting skills of Qi Qing and Ji Xingjue were taught by Duke Qi Bai.

When they were children, they practiced against each other, and the outcome was always half-half. Both of them had unyielding characters, and neither would let anyone take the lead.

It was not until they were in their teens that Qi Qing’s strength advantage became more and more obvious, and he was able to successfully press the sensitive Ji Xingjue under his body in the pairing exercise, leaving him no room to move and gaining the upper hand.

So after a long absence for many years, when he returned to the Imperial Capital and saw Ji Xingjue’s weak and innocent look, the Lord Marshal was particularly speechless.

After fighting for a long time, Qi Qing caught the slightest flaw in Ji Xingjue’s movements with sharp eyes. Just like when he was young, he grabbed his hands quickly and ruthlessly, and pushed him to the ground with a “bang“.

Both of them were slightly sweating, they were very close to each other because of their movements, their breathing was clearly audible, and they could almost hear each other’s violent heartbeats.

Ji Xingjue was firmly pressed on his hands and feet, even his waist was pressed, his whole body was locked, only his head could move. He blinked, and said with a smile, “Lord Marshal, you’re really merciless.”

Qi Qing looked down at him, and there was some kind of deep and fiery flame burning in his eyes, the temperature was scorching.

“…But,” Ji Xingjue slowly stuck close to his ear, saying as if whispering, “All’s fair in love and war.”
