Quan Ji pulled Jun Chenlan closer, slowly bringing her lips to his. A charming smile appeared on her lips as she breathed softly, letting the warm breath flow through Jun Chenlan's ear and into his bloodstream, filling every part of his body with an ambiguous atmosphere.
"Of course, when we're doing the things we agreed on before coming to the Heart Dream Empire, you have to listen to me completely, word for word, inch by inch, you have to obey me obediently."
Jun Chenlan was stimulated by these words. A tingling, electric current traveled from the soles of his feet to his spinal cord, and he could feel it throughout his entire body.
An indescribable atmosphere filled the air, while Jun Chenlan nodded silently, her face flushed.
He knew what Quan Ji wanted to express; it had already been agreed that he... he had no problem.
Seeing him in a daze, Quan Ji felt a surge of amusement and teased, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Jun Chenlan shook his head repeatedly: "A bet is a bet."
Quan Ji was finally satisfied and reached out to pinch Lan's cheek. "Good boy, I love your willingness to accept defeat."
Jun Chenlan was extremely nervous. He knew very well that Quan Ji didn't like his willingness to accept defeat; she actually liked his helplessness towards her.
But... there's just nothing we can do about it.
No matter what Quan Ji does, as long as it doesn't affect the glory of his Xingyuan Empire, he will fully support her.
This includes things that shouldn't be thought about.
Quan Ji chuckled, "Alright, let's move on to the second project. Are you just going to stand here and make a fool of yourself?"
Jun Chenlan said "Oh," and quickly left the first basketball shooting area with Quan Ji's fingers intertwined.
Passersby: "..."
Even though everyone here has a boyfriend or girlfriend, why is it that the atmosphere between you two stands out from the crowd and is so interesting, making them feel like they're being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)?
Besides, you two were just fighting like your lives depended on it!
Girls: "Ahhhhh! The young lady is so cool! I think marrying her isn't such a bad idea... It's a pity I can't beat Marshal Jun, sob sob sob."
Girls: "Aaaaaah! Marshal Jun is so manly and doting! Even though he's so powerful and influential, he's still so good to the young lady. Is this what a real good man is? If he can't do this... let's break up, you trash!"
Girls: "The young lady's basketball shooting is amazing. No wonder I saw a mainland newspaper say that she is the number one wedge in the world. I think I'm gay now."
The boys said, "How come this young lady is such a good player? Isn't this putting pressure on us... Ugh."
Boys: "Jun Chenlan—! What did I do to you?! My girlfriend doesn't want me anymore, what am I going to do?!"
...
However, the two involved did not care about what others thought; they had already reached the second stage.
The second challenge is a tug-of-war with the twin elephants, which can be simply put as a contest of strength.
Twin Elephants are a type of powerful magical beast that gives birth to twins and never has to worry about marriage from birth.
I've heard that adult twin elephants can easily break down the gates of a small town; their power is comparable to a human cannon.
Therefore, when couples cannot use their energy, they have virtually no chance of competing with twin elephants in strength.
For example, a couple is currently wrestling with twin elephants, their faces contorted in a grimace as they pull at each other.
Girl: "Honey, try harder... I can't pull it!"
Boy: "I'm pushing hard! This thing is amazing... Ah!"
The two of them, after the game ended, were directly pulled away by the twin elephants.
Girl: "Waaaaah... How come you don't even have this much strength...?"
Boy: "This...this can't be done with energy. What can I do? If I could use energy, I could pull it over easily!"
Girl: "You're making excuses, I won't listen! There are definitely others who can pull me over without using energy!"
Boy: "How is that possible... Twin Elephants are strength-type magical beasts, how could anyone do something like that? You must be kidding me."
Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan exchanged a glance. Jun Chenlan looked slightly helpless, while Quan Ji smiled.
"Is this really a couple's challenge or a couple's test? This is more likely to make people break up faster than we are."
She's come clean: she's a love test machine, so what?
Jun Chenlan smiled helplessly: "I'll pull him over."
Quan Ji: "You said it, so I won't exert myself."
Jun Chenlan: "...Okay, sure."
If it's a twin elephant, it's not actually that difficult to pull it over; you only need to use a little bit of force.
The two lined up, and soon it was their turn.
Jun Chenlan pulled her along, while Quan Ji stood behind her, unable to move, and said dryly, "Go for it, Lan! I believe in you!"
Jun Chenlan: "..."
They really don't exert any effort, they don't even want to pull the rope. Is this what love is?
Harmful--
But it's not a big problem, it's just two elephants.
The people around were very nervous:
"Why isn't Miss helping... Are you just letting Marshal Jun come alone? If I had a girlfriend like that, it would be really terrible."
"You have a girlfriend like that? Don't you even look in the mirror and see if you're good enough for her? How could a rich girl even look at you? Forget about tug-of-war, if I had a girlfriend like that, I'd lick her feet every day!"
"I don't know if Marshal Jun can recover on his own... If... if he can't be helped, in order not to embarrass Marshal Jun, I can reluctantly help him!"
"Pah! Shameless! You're just lusting after Marshal Jun! You're all married men and women, lusting after a young couple, how shameless!"
"Don't be shameless. Just one question: if you have a girlfriend like Miss, what time do you go home every day?"
"I was originally going to stay home, but after thinking about the young lady's and my combat strength, I think I have to make the world my home."
Quan Ji listened to these words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She slowly leaned close to Jun Chenlan's ear and whispered, "With a girlfriend like me, what time do you come home every day?"
Jun Chenlan looked completely puzzled: "???"
Quan Ji knew Jun Chenlan didn't understand, so she smiled and said, "Alright, keep it up, I believe in you."
Jun Chenlan nodded, his expression becoming serious, and his gaze fell on the two elephants on the other side of the rope.
The twin elephants' trunks were wrapped around a rope, poised to strike.
"start!"
With a shout from the staff, the competition officially began.
The people around them burst into cheers.
Quan Ji went even further, uttering the word "Release," a phrase that seemed to embody the ultimate truth, and shouted it out with a thunderous voice: "Jun Chenlan, go for it!!!"
Everyone: "..."
You're the one who really knows how to show off.

Okay, I've decided to rest and have a meal.
