Husband and Wife to Battle – h.e.l.l on Earth

　　"You take left; I take right. You think you can handle it?!" asked General Manager Bai

　　"Yes!" answered Lord Zi, fists clenched and high in energy.

　　I learnt General Manager Bai was among the best in the imperial palace in terms of martial prowess. As such, she occasionally taught Lord Zi some skills. Technically speaking, you could argue she was his part-time s.h.i.+fu. I finally understood how Lord Zi ended up with his skills all over the place. To elaborate, General Manager Bai possessed a wealth of knowledge and learnt complex styles. Therefore, she chose to teach him simple skills. He had his potential and innate brute strength to credit for his skills.

　　Since the two of them were on the same wavelength, I'd only ruin their chemistry if I interfered. Hence, I rooted for them from the sidelines. What else could I have offered when General Manager Bai remarked, "You? Don't get in the way. You might be worse than Lord Zi."

　　General Manager Bai's left and right strategy was sagacious. When they sprang, she deliberately positioned herself behind Lord Zi a small step for two reasons. One, she could get a clear view on the enemies from the rear, making it easier to protect him. Second, since he obstructed the enemy's line of sight, she could leverage the momentary lapse to subdue the enemy.

　　"Wh-Who's there?!"

　　Although Lord Zi never trained his internal strength, he was fast on his legs. By the time the enemy detected them, he already aimed a fly kick at the enemy's temple with his right leg. By no means did his successful attack invalidate my statement the enemy was decently tough. The enemies were merely caught, because the duo launched a surprise attack in a place they perceived to be safe. The five didn't let the situation impact their skills.

　　The enemy raised his arm to guard Lord Zi's kick then borrowed the momentum to switch his guard to a leg grab. Finding himself in a pinch right off the bat, Lord Zi looked to me for a.s.sistance. General Manager Bai zipped past the enemy; none of his allies saw her knock him out, but I did. When she zipped past, she landed three precise finger stabs at three acupuncture points. In terms of finesse, it could compare to Tang Ye's often-used Flower Wheel Fingers.

　　The five were skilled. Unfortunately, it wasn't their day. General Manager Bai smoothly transitioned into her next attack and then the next, dispatching the remaining four swiftly. None of them had the chance to call for help.

　　Once the fighting was over, Bai Lian glanced back to me to flaunt her accomplishment. The duo then gave each other a high five to celebrate. However, she quickly realise her behaviour was inappropriate; hence, she wore on her straight face again: "Lord Zi, this is an exception; there will not be a next time. In the future, you will be a prince and ev-. In short, you must be mindful of everything you do."
