Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

The moment Bai Qian'er made her move, Xu Ke felt it instantly.

He sharply raised his hand to block her kick and shouted, "Stop! What are you doing?"

Xu Ke suppressed the desire erupting in his heart to counterattack with his full strength.

"I'll leave you alone after we trade a few blows. Why are you still whining? Are you even a man?"

The flush on Bai Qian'er's face grew more pronounced. Clearly, the alcohol had only strengthened her desire to fight.

Xu Ke brushed aside her high-heeled kick and took two steps back. "If you want to fight, fine, but go change your clothes first. It's ridiculous to fight me in a dress."

"I'll end up seeing the whole show."

Just now, Bai Qian'er's kick had only been a probe, so Xu Ke hadn't seen anything. But if her movements got any bigger, the view underneath would be blinding… He said this purely to provoke her by appealing to her sense of shame.

"I don't mind, so why should you?" Bai Qian'er sneered.

In her mind, she was thinking that she had already planned to force Xu Ke into a match tonight. She'd even put on a pair of sports shorts under her dress before leaving her room. There was no way Xu Ke would see a damn thing…

Having been deceived by Xu Ke's baseless excuses several times before, Bai Qian'er was determined not to let him off this time.

After her kick was deflected, she immediately threw a punch. Her True Qi surged within her, rising like a column of billowing smoke.

At that moment, even though Xu Ke knew Bai Qian'er's cultivation was impressive, he couldn't help but be startled. He knew Bai Qian'er was a year older than him, making her twenty-six, and that she was at the Postnatal Late Stage. This was all information he had gathered when they first met that afternoon.

But now, having witnessed Bai Qian'er unleash her full power, he realized he had completely underestimated her. Her strength was in no way inferior to any martial artist at the Innate Great Perfection.

Xu Ke was inwardly speechless. No wonder she's one of the most outstanding members of the Northern Dragon Guard's younger generation. It's not surprising she dared to challenge Yu Kangan… To have such achievements at her age, she must be incredibly arrogant!

But despite his surprise, Xu Ke's hands never stopped moving.

As Bai Qian'er lunged at him with a punch, he advanced instead of retreating. His hand shot out like a dragon-snatching claw, fiercely grabbing her wrist.

"You may not mind, but the Bai Family and the Northern Dragon Guard will."

After grabbing her hand, Xu Ke used her own momentum against her, pushing her away with a soft force.

THUD. THUD. THUD.

Without any leverage, Bai Qian'er was shoved backward.

The next moment, her face lit up with excitement. "Why do you care so much?!"

Xu Ke really is strong!

After being pushed away, she bent her knees and thrust them toward the area below Xu Ke's belt—a move designed to sever his family line.

Xu Ke's eyes widened. This woman has no martial ethics!

He reflexively yanked the room's door in front of him to use as a shield.

BANG!

Bai Qian'er's knee instantly punched a hole through the door.

Everything came to a standstill.

"You bastard! How could you use our hotel's door for defense?" Bai Qian'er demanded, retracting her knee in astonishment as she glared at him.

Who would have thought he'd actually use the door to block an attack?

"It's just a door. You can pay for it," Xu Ke said nonchalantly.

Bai Qian'er froze, a confused look on her face as she processed his words. Then her eyes widened. "You… Shouldn't you be the one offering to pay for it?"

"It's more or less the same thing. The door will get fixed either way," Xu Ke said, waving his hand dismissively. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At that, Bai Qian'er became truly furious. "Do you think I'm talking about the door?"

"Then what is it?"

"For a martial artist, isn't the most exhilarating thing to trade blows directly? What kind of martial artist are you?"

In her opinion, what was the point of learning all those techniques and cultivating so much True Qi if you were just going to use objects to defend yourself?

"This is a battle. You use whatever method works best. Hasn't the Northern Dragon Guard taught you that?" Xu Ke retorted, speechless.

No wonder Ki Qinyin sent this group to him for training! Just look at Ren Gu, Wang Wu, and Qiu Changyang… The older they got, the more they adhered to the principle of using whatever method worked best. Back when they were both still Postnatal Martial Artists, Ren Gu had used chokeholds and groin attacks on him, all to incapacitate him in three seconds without killing him. During his fight with Ouyang Shuang, Wang Wu, Qiu Changyang, and the others hadn't hesitated to bring firearms to their ambush, just to make their attack more convenient. And yet here was Bai Qian'er, getting upset over a door… A quick comparison made it clear that these young geniuses all shared the same strange ideals.

"Why are you so stuffy, like one of those old veterans? Don't you think such tactics are only for life-or-death battles? Right now, we should just fight fairly and squarely!" Bai Qian'er's pretty face flushed an even deeper shade of red, though it was unclear if it was from anger or intoxication.

"I may not agree with your views, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Xu Ke said this diplomatically, then ducked behind the door, his head the only thing poking out. "By the way, I didn't break this. Remember to have someone come fix my door, or get me another room." He was determined not to fight.

"Get out here! You haven't even attacked me once. You can't just quit!" Bai Qian'er was furious.

She knew that from start to finish, Xu Ke hadn't launched a single attack of his own. He had been on the defensive the entire time, only counterattacking. A fight like this wasn't exhilarating in the slightest!

But Xu Ke remained unmoved. "Either break down the door, or we can discuss this another time."

"You..." Bai Qian'er glared fiercely at Xu Ke. "Don't push me!"

Xu Ke was just as adamant. "It's your family's hotel. There's really no need."

Behind him, Tang Yingchang had already quietly climbed into bed.

It was best for him to stay out of it. Besides, it didn't look like Mister Xu was in any real danger…

"Do you think I would actually break down a door?" Bai Qian'er scoffed.

"Then what will you do?"

"I remember this afternoon you didn't even dare to hold my hand. Afraid your fiancée would misunderstand, right?" A cold smile curled on Bai Qian'er's lips. "But tonight, you jumped in to injure someone for Xiao Yu's sake, and even grabbed her hand. If your fiancée saw that, wouldn't you be in serious trouble?"

Xu Ke: "???"

"That hero-saves-the-damsel act of yours was quite a spectacle. I've recorded it all!" A hint of triumph flashed in Bai Qian'er's eyes. "The way Xiao Yu looked at you was filled with admiration and gratitude. What do you think would happen if Sister Wong Qifu saw that?"

"Are you threatening me?" Xu Ke asked quietly.

"Of course not. I'm just stating a fact," Bai Qian'er said, growing more smug.

"I have nothing to hide. Do you think I'd be afraid?" Xu Ke responded calmly.

"Oh, you're definitely not afraid, then," Bai Qian'er said with a cheerful smile. "But… what if I fly to Tianhai tomorrow and have a little chat with Sister Wong Qifu?"
