On the second day of the national martial arts competition, the weather was splendid with gentle sunlight. Qin Fangyue, unlike other contestants, did not stay in a hotel with dedicated security but rented a secluded house temporarily due to her family's financial difficulties. Her father, possessing excellent martial arts skills, had a rigid and straightforward personality, even a bit ignorant. He was unwilling to pass on the family's skills to others, working in a factory to make ends meet. Her mother had long left due to her father's stubbornness. Qin Fangyue had always depended on her father, and their relatives and friends looked down on their family.

Pushing open the door, the vibrant morning sun shone on her face, warming her heart. Walking through sparsely populated alleys, the emptiness was palpable, and even her footsteps echoed clearly.

At a turning point, she distinctly heard hurried footsteps approaching from a distance.

"Help! Someone, please save me! They want to kill me! Help!"

Qin Fangyue initially didn't want to get involved, as she had a competition to attend. However, the desperate cries belonged to a fellow woman, triggering her compassion. Swiftly turning the corner, she saw a woman running with a few armed men chasing her. As the distance closed, the woman stumbled and fell.

Qin Fangyue was about to intervene when a loud shout rang out, and a stranger appeared, blocking the path of the pursuers. "How dare you attack with knives in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of the law?" The pursuers, surprised, halted, and their apparent leader approached, saying, "Who's this interfering? Daring to meddle in the affairs of the Xiyeno Gang! Get lost, or I'll cut you down."

"Big brother, please save me! They want to kill me," pleaded the fallen woman.

The intervening man hesitated for a moment, then stood firm, declaring, "You won't succeed in your violence. I am Xiaozihan, and I won't let you get away with this."

Seeing Xiaozihan, Qin Fangyue felt a sense of familiarity, but she concealed herself around the corner, intending to observe the situation before deciding whether to intervene. If Xiaozihan could handle it, she might not need to get involved, considering her upcoming national martial arts competition.

The gang leader, unwilling to back down, ordered his men to attack Xiaozihan. Panicking, Xiaozihan turned to the woman and shouted, "Run! I'll hold them off. They are after you, not me. At worst, they'll cripple me." The woman, in tears, promised gratitude and fled.

Qin Fangyue was moved by the scene, realizing that true emotions existed in the world.

As the woman ran past the corner, she noticed Qin Fangyue and gave her a meaningful look before disappearing.

Once Qin Fangyue refocused on Xiaozihan, she saw him defeating several attackers, leaving only two thugs in a struggle. Xiaozihan was covered in blood, and his leg had been wounded, affecting his movements.

Concerned for Xiaozihan's safety, Qin Fangyue rushed out, shouting, "Stop!"

Unfortunately, her timing was off. Xiaozihan had just kicked one thug to the ground when Qin Fangyue shouted. Both he and the remaining thug were momentarily surprised. Seizing the opportunity, the thug swung his knife towards Xiaozihan's injured leg. Xiaozihan cried out in pain and collapsed.

The thug, seeing another person blocking their way, angrily approached Qin Fangyue. However, realizing Qin Fangyue's capabilities, he soon found himself defeated on the ground.

Qin Fangyue turned back to check on Xiaozihan. He was covered in blood, curled up on the ground, holding his bleeding leg. Seeing the dire situation, she regretted not intervening earlier.

"Heroine, quickly, my leg won't stop bleeding. Find something to bind it and help me," Xiaozihan urgently requested.

Qin Fangyue, upon hearing Xiaozihan's plea, rushed to him. As she looked at his face, she suddenly remembered encountering him a few months ago. Despite some internal hesitation, she decided to prioritize saving a life.

Xiaozihan opened his eyes, gazing at Qin Fangyue's worried and beautiful face. He thought, "How did you escape from my grasp? Nevertheless, I'm safe now."

Qin Fangyue, realizing the urgency, focused on finding something to bind Xiaozihan's leg, using her own coat. As she worked, Xiaozihan, in pain, said, "Thank you, you saved me. I owe you a debt of gratitude."

Qin Fangyue, finishing the makeshift bandaging, proposed taking Xiaozihan to her place to assess his injuries further. Xiaozihan hesitated, concerned about involving her in his troubles. However, Qin Fangyue assured him that she had already disrupted the gang's plans and would likely be safe.

Carrying Xiaozihan on her shoulders, they headed to Qin Fangyue's residence. Despite Xiaozihan's protests, Qin Fangyue insisted on helping him. Along the way, Xiaozihan suddenly shouted, pretending to be in pain. Qin Fangyue, momentarily distracted, turned her head, and Xiaozihan took advantage of the moment, planting a brief kiss on her lips.

Startled, Qin Fangyue blushed, and Xiaozihan chuckled, realizing he had surprised her.

After arriving at Qin Fangyue's residence, she placed Xiao Zihan onto a wooden chair. However, as soon as Xiao Zihan's buttocks touched the chair, he screamed and leaped up, returning to Qin Fangyue's back.

Qin Fangyue hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Zihan, panting heavily, exclaimed in pain, "I got slashed twice on my butt too."

Qin Fangyue sighed with relief but suddenly realized that her chest was being tightly grabbed by a pair of demonic claws. Lowering her head, she saw Xiao Zihan's hands conveniently placed on her chest. A wave of embarrassment rushed through her heart. This pervert truly had no intention of changing his ways.

Qin Fangyue became furious but resisted the urge to immediately remove his hands. She knew that if she did, Xiao Zihan would likely fall, and upon landing, his injured buttocks would be the first to bear the impact. She wondered if he could endure that additional pain. Suppressing her annoyance, she coldly said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Also, remove your hands."

Xiao Zihan innocently replied, "How could I bring myself to mention being injured in such a place? Initially, I thought it wasn't too serious, and I could endure it, but it turned out to be so painful."

Seeing Xiao Zihan still displaying some resilience, Qin Fangyue's expression softened a bit. However, the hand that continued to touch her chest disgusted her. Recalling the first time Xiao Zihan touched her breasts, she was infuriated. Yet, unlike other women who might scream and retaliate, she had her own unique way of dealing with it—sending him flying. Now, although she was still angry, it wasn't absolute; a hint of something else, perhaps shyness, was mixed in.

Placing Xiao Zihan face down on her bed, Qin Fangyue said coldly, "I'll go buy medicine and bandages." She then turned and left.

Once Qin Fangyue confirmed her departure, Xiao Zihan couldn't help but smile. He casually moved his hands through the air, appreciating the softness of the girl's chest. He wondered if she would apply medicine to his injured buttocks later.

Things were getting more interesting. His eyes gradually darkened, revealing a touch of cunning.

Unexpectedly, the wound on Xiao Zihan's leg was more severe than he anticipated. To make the act convincing, he actually endured the real cuts. Most were just scratches, but the one on his leg cut deeply, faintly revealing the bone. This wasn't part of his plan.

When Qin Fangyue began to treat this particular injury, even her calm demeanor couldn't be maintained. Normally, anyone with such a wound would be screaming in pain, but Xiao Zihan clenched his teeth, refusing to utter a sound—a display of remarkable willpower that earned Qin Fangyue's admiration.

After treating the other wounds, it was time to address the one on his buttocks. Xiao Zihan chuckled inwardly, pondering how to playfully tease Qin Fangyue.

No matter how he tried to subtly misbehave, Qin Fangyue remained impervious, maintaining her usual composed demeanor. This frustrated Xiao Zihan. Considering that she didn't react strongly when he touched her breasts, he wondered if she cared about looking at a man's buttocks.

It was a tricky situation. What was Qin Fangyue's weakness?

Under the afternoon sun, with clouds scattered across the sky, a golden ray of sunlight entered through the window, illuminating Xiao Zihan's well-proportioned and masculine body, accentuating his sharp facial features. As he slept, an intense male charm radiated, captivating anyone who laid eyes on him.

Qin Fangyue silently watched Xiao Zihan, her expression becoming increasingly focused. Despite being a young girl in the bloom of youth with fantasies and desires, in need of profound affection, how could she remain indifferent to the sight of Xiao Zihan's naked buttocks? Especially when he shed the rogue aura, revealing a robust masculine presence that stirred her heart.

However, she was accustomed to loneliness, hardened by strength. She didn't want to reveal her vulnerable side and chose to treat Xiao Zihan with her usual coldness. Yet, when applying medicine to his buttocks, she couldn't control the involuntary tremors within her. Her body shivered uncontrollably, but her hands remained steady, keeping her inner turmoil hidden from Xiao Zihan.

At that moment, Xiao Zihan didn't notice anything. Knowing that Qin Fangyue could calmly face his exposed buttocks, he realized that he had temporarily lost the chance to tease her.

Nonetheless, he began to enjoy the situation. Qin Fangyue's fingers were smooth and cool, making his skin tingle with pleasure. The thought of a beautiful woman behind him, delicately attending to his buttocks, was an experience not easily endured by most men.

When one desires something, the fear isn't in not getting it but in obtaining it too easily, without the thrill of pursuit. Mei'er and Xiaowu were treasures he couldn't afford to lose, bringing him immense joy. However, both women had readily accepted him without much effort on his part. With Qin Fangyue's arrival, he saw an opportunity to regain that thrill. He constantly pondered how to conquer her, making her tenderly moan by his side.

Chasing after beautiful women was truly one of life's greatest pleasures, an endless joy.

At this moment, Xiao Zihan, far from being in a deep sleep, was clearly contemplating ways to flirt. Qin Fangyue had been eyeing him for a while now, perhaps she had developed feelings for him. He really wanted to see Qin Fangyue's expression at this moment, but her gaze remained fixed on his body, making it impossible for him to catch a glimpse.

Xiao Zihan's mind was at work. Alright, let's test the waters and see what attitude Qin Fangyue has towards him. His lips moved as if murmuring in a dream, "Fangyue, your breasts are so soft, tender, round, and smooth. I can't get enough of touching them, hehehe."

Qin Fangyue immediately raised her slender eyebrows upon hearing this. This pervert, always groping women's breasts, was truly despicable. But as she recalled the two times Xiao Zihan touched her breasts, her cheeks blushed involuntarily.

Quickly regaining her composure, she forced herself not to dwell on such thoughts and focused on preparing for the competition in two days.

Thinking about this, she calmed down, her pretty face once again turning cold. "Don't be angry, Fangyue. I was just teasing you. I've changed, and I've felt guilty about it for a long time. Even today, I unintentionally touched you. I apologize for that. Please forgive me; you must forgive me," Xiao Zihan whispered.

Qin Fangyue smiled indifferently, glanced at the sky, and realized it was already afternoon. Neither of them had eaten lunch, and she still needed to practice combat techniques in the afternoon. This was also one reason why she didn't want to stay in a hotel.

With only Xiao Zihan left in the room, he opened his eyes, revealing a gleam of cunning. He thought, "Fangyue, if you want to fight with me, you're still too inexperienced."

He attempted to move his seriously injured right leg, only to feel a piercing pain. "Ah, this is getting out of hand. Walking is becoming a problem," he thought. Although his recovery ability was astonishingly fast, it would likely take more than half a month to fully heal.

If he had known, he should have let Xing Aolai and him perform this act; it would have been foolproof. In his opinion, at this moment, Xiao Zihan wasn't in a deep sleep; he was clearly devising ways to charm women. Qin Fangyue had been eyeing him for a while; maybe she had developed feelings for him. He really wanted to see Qin Fangyue's expression at this moment, but her gaze remained fixed on his body, making it impossible for him to catch a glimpse.

Xiao Zihan's mind was at work. Alright, let's test the waters and see what attitude Qin Fangyue has towards him. His lips moved as if murmuring in a dream, "Fangyue, your breasts are so soft, tender, round, and smooth. I can't get enough of touching them, hehehe."

If he had known, he should have let Xing Aolai and him perform this act; it would have been foolproof. In his opinion, Qin Fangyue would eventually meet the people he was familiar with, and their words would undoubtedly expose the truth. So he didn't tell Xing Aolai and the others anything, but secretly found Huang Xin, asking him to find two reliable people to act with him. Now, it had turned into a miserable situation. Originally, with his speed, he should have dodged when the knife grazed his leg, as the person's knife speed wasn't particularly fast. However, when Qin Fangyue's shout sounded, most of his attention had already shifted to her, and he suddenly felt a huge pain in his leg, a solid cut.

At that time, he thought the person hadn't controlled the force properly, but now he felt something was off. The knife speed must have accelerated significantly at that moment, and the person couldn't have such a fast speed. Something was suspicious.

Two days passed quickly, and Qin Fangyue went to participate in the second round of the National Combat Tournament.

Although the room was now without Qin Fangyue, Xiao Zihan was not destined to be alone.

Before this, Xiao Zihan had called Xing Aolai and asked him to send some good healing medicine. Xing Aolai inquired about the situation, but Xiao Zihan didn't explain.

Now, Yan Mei entered with a smile, and Xiao He came in excitedly. Outside, Xing Aolai and Yue Feiyang were also there. However, instead of being greeted by Xiao Zihan's hearty laughter and broad chest, they were met with the sight of a pitiful patient lying on the bed, unable to walk.

Yan Mei's smile disappeared instantly, and Xiao He's excitement vanished immediately. In their minds, Xiao Zihan, nearly invincible and overpowering, now had his leg wrapped in bandages, lying in a miserable state on the bed. Seeing them enter, Xiao Zihan's face showed obvious surprise and embarrassment. This time, he had lost a lot of face, like a dragon stranded in shallow water or a tiger fallen in Pingyang.
