"Hilarious, with a girlfriend like Miss, I could travel the world."
Carrying an elephant with one hand? That's a joke. Only Marshal Jun could handle two elephants in a tug-of-war with one hand and defeat them instantly.
Quan Ji placed the two twin elephants on the ground, gently stroked their heads, and said with a soft laugh, "It's alright, it's alright, you've worked hard."
The twin elephants were horrified; tears streamed down their faces.
Mom... Society is simple; it's people who are complicated.
Who would have thought that they, as powerful magical beasts, would one day be insulted like this by a couple!
Not only did he win the tug-of-war in a second, but he also managed to hold it up with one hand.
Have they stopped eating and started losing weight lately? How pathetic!
What's most infuriating is that this woman actually touched their heads!
Waaaaah, they're not going to live!
Quan Ji didn't linger at the twin elephants; instead, she focused her attention on the staff and asked, "How did it go? Did we pass?"
The staff member finally snapped out of it and nodded blankly, "Passed...passed."
Is this the legendary strongest marriage alliance in the empire?
With this fighting power... if they don't make it past the third level, will they join forces and wipe out the City of Acquaintances?
So scary, waaaaah.
Quan Ji smiled, in a great mood, and skipped over to Jun Chenlan, jumping onto his back.
Jun Chenlan instinctively caught Quan Ji, gripping her thighs tightly with both hands, letting her hug him from behind.
However, because of this piggyback ride, his face turned bright red, almost burning red: "What...what are you going to do?"
Seeing Jun Chenlan's state, Quan Ji teased him with a carefree heart, placing one hand on his shoulder and wrapping her arms around his neck along his collarbone: "I'm tired and can't walk anymore. Can't I carry you, Lan?"
She's a delicate, fragile girl, what's wrong with her boyfriend carrying her when she's tired?
Jun Chenlan's face flushed again, and she nodded blankly, "No...it's nothing."
Quan Ji smiled, lowered her head, and quickly gave Jun Chenlan a light, quick kiss on the cheek.
"I knew Lan was the best! Let's go, the third challenge... If you don't pass this, I'll make sure you regret it tonight!"
Jun Chenlan nodded, but once his head was lowered, he never raised it again.
"Um."
If anyone had seen Jun Chenlan's expression at this moment, they would have exclaimed in surprise:
Who splashed dog blood on your face? Why is it so red!
The answer... well, it's a secret.
The others stood still, watching the two without moving.
Their gazes were fixed on her, especially on the young lady who claimed to be tired, and a question lingered in their minds:
She didn't complain of being tired when she carried an elephant with one hand. Does she think she's some delicate, fragile flower?
Damn it... another unexpected wave of PDA.
...
Soon, Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan arrived at the third level.
Due to the difficulty of the first two levels, very few people were able to reach the third level, so the two of them didn't queue up at all and walked to two different rooms under the guidance of the staff.
In the third challenge, the two must answer three identical questions without knowing each other's identities. If they agree on the answers, they will successfully complete the challenge and be able to take away the supreme King of Lamps.
Everyone was holding their breath for them:
"I really don't know if Miss and Marshal Jun can complete this third challenge. If they can, that would be great. That way, they can take the Lantern King. That thing has been hanging here for months, and we still can't get it. It's so annoying!"
"The third challenge isn't about testing your skills anymore. You have absolutely no idea what tricks the boss is up to. Unless you're on the same wavelength, you have absolutely no chance of succeeding. Do you really think these two have a good relationship? It's all about profit."
"You're the one who's only after profit! Marshal Renjun got engaged to the young lady when the Holy Glory Empire was still weak, you idiot! So what if their relationship is good? You're just jealous and upset, you stupid bastard who can't have what he wants and starts gossiping!"
"you--"
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Of all the prophecies from the mainland, this is the only one word? Shut up!"
Sauerkraut Spirit: "..." I'm so angry!
The scene began to unify, and everyone screamed and shouted:
"Young Miss!!!"
"Marshal Jun!!!"
"You two can definitely do it!!"
...
At this moment, Quan Ji was leisurely lying on the sofa, with staff members in front of her.
The staff member looked very nervous and slowly asked the first question:
"Excuse me... do you remember when you first met? When and what happened?"
Without even needing to recall, Quan Ji's lips immediately curved into a charming smile: "Twelve years ago, when I was six years old, Quan Zhan banished me to the Holy Radiance Forest to fend for myself. Just when I was about to be eaten by wild beasts, a peerless hero pierced through that terrifying beast with a single sword. At that time, I had nothing, but I knew that everyone said I was beautiful, so I offered myself to him."
The staff were stunned, never expecting that the story of Marshal Jun and the young lady actually happened when the young lady was so young, and... the hero saving the beauty and repaying her with his body was indeed a beautiful story.
The key point is: How could Marshal Jun be such a beast? The young lady was only six years old back then! How could he do that? It's simply—utterly inhuman!
...
On the other side, Jun Chenlan waited very nervously and cautiously for the second question.
The staff member asked, "After you get married, who will be the head of the household?"
Jun Chenlan breathed a sigh of relief and calmly said, "Quan Ji."
Staff: "?"
What should I say if I suspect I misheard?
Before me stands the renowned strongest man on the Noah Continent!
Moreover, she is the future heir of the Star Abyss Empire... How could the head of a family be the eldest daughter?!
With your status, it's simply amazing!
Jun Chenlan continued, "Because she prefers to take the initiative, I love her because of her."
Staff member: "I see."
I'm so touched, sob sob! You truly deserve the title of the best man on the Noah Continent!
I never imagined that Marshal Jun would be so willing to sacrifice himself for the girl he loves. Is this love?!
Finally, the two were asked the last question:
"If in the end, you two are both at your wits' end, who would you want to die first?"
When the two heard the question, they were both stunned. They never expected such a question to be asked—it was such a tricky angle!
However, their answers were surprisingly consistent, shocking everyone.
—Author's Note—
Since we're not going to die together, who do you think will die first?
