General Huo blushed.
What a scoundrel! You don't have to use him as a comparison. He doesn't understand respect for elders or care for the young at all. He deserves to be targeted by His Highness the Crown Prince!
Yuan Xingzhou ignored his words and stared at Zheng Quchi: "Let's begin."
Just as Zheng Quchi was about to grip the bar, he remembered something, then looked up at Liu Chaiji and said, "At this moment, don't you want to say something to me?"
Since we've already raised it, we can't just raise it for nothing; we still need to ask for some good luck.
Liu Chaiji was a little confused: "What do you want to say?"
"For example... if I could lift it, you would eat this huge thing or something?"
Everyone: "..."
Liu Chaiji's lips twitched: "General's wife, stop fooling around with His Highness. If you can really lift it up, I'll cut off my head and let you kick it."
“Liu Chaiji, for the sake of your brother, I will not hold your arrogance against you. I do not want you to cut off your head and let me kick it. I have only one request: if I raise the army, you will obediently come and serve as my soldier.”
Liu Chaiji, unaware of the treacherous nature of the adult world, retorted, "Fine, I don't believe a woman like you can—"
The next second, Liu Chaiji's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
In his trembling pupils, he saw Zheng Quchi lift the heavy weight, weighed down by three stones, in one go and raise it above his head with a single, fluid motion of pulling, lifting, and raising.
The scene was absolutely breathtaking.
Huo Ting's mouth was so wide open that an egg could fit inside.
"Mom, Mom! You can't judge a book by its cover!" He broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself, "Luckily, the General's wife was looking for someone strong, not someone stronger than her. Otherwise, even with the entire strength of Ye Kingdom, we wouldn't be able to gather many people."
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Zheng Quchi turned his head and asked, "Your Highness, is it alright now?"
Yuan Xingzhou countered, "Are you sure you want a man who can't even compare to you to be your soldier?"
These words were a blatant slap in the face to Liu Chaiji.
Thump—the heavy object, heavy enough to leave two dents in the ground, was thrown to the ground by Zheng Quchi.
She didn't answer Yuan Xingzhou's question, but instead walked towards Liu Chaiji. Unexpectedly, his pupils constricted, and he retreated in terror, crying out, "Don't come any closer!"
Zheng Quchi stopped: "...What's wrong with you?"
Looking at her, Liu Chaiji was utterly despondent and broke down, saying, "I...I don't believe it. I can't even compare to a woman. I even told my family that I would never come home if I didn't make something of myself. I have no face to live anymore..."
As he spoke, his eyes began to redden, as if he was about to cry.
Look how discouraging this is for the child.
