Mingshen grabbed her heel that was just an inch away from hitting his handsome face. He knocked her out of balance, but Jia stood straight on her other foot. He got up but then he saw her elbow coming straight to jab him in the shoulder. He let go of her foot and moved.

  Jia smirked. "What's wrong, mighty doctor? Why are you dodging my attacks? Didn't you say that you were capable of handling me?"

  Mingshen gleamed, feeling thoroughly entertained. "As expected, you are not half bad!"

  Saying that he went to grab her wrist but caught only air as she quickly backed off. But that wasn't his true motive. Pretending to try to grab her hand, he put his palms on the ground and jumped, taking a one-eighty degree flip in the air with his head down and feet up.

  His lean body doing such a perfect flip would have made any woman mesmerized and amazed but not Jia. She only focused on his attack that was coming right at her face.

  But Mingshen wasn't aiming at her face.

  In the air itself, he positioned his foot to hit her on her shoulder to knock her out of balance. It came so fast that her reaction missed by just half a second and she stumbled behind. Mingshen neatly landed on the ground and smiled. "Now who is dodging the attacks, Spicy?"

  Lu Bojing was utterly horrified, witnessing the fight.

  She is really a demon! How can she move in that weak state? Any other person would have already collapsed!

  Jia pushed herself to stabilize or the moment she fell, she knew that the game was over. Mingshen smiled and let her hop back to balance.

  After that Jia continued attacking him, but Mingshen kept bouncing off her attacks and kept a defensive mode. But soon she understood what he was trying to do.

  She raised her knee but suddenly tripped and collapsed. Her chest heaved up and down in breathlessness and she felt dizzy.

  Damn this weak body! She gritted her teeth.

  She tried to get up but her trembling legs had already given up.

  Mingshen chuckled. "So did it finally kick in?"

  She narrowed her eyes.

  He bent down on one knee and lifted her chin. "You know, Spicy. I commend your willpower because you were able to match my pace purely by your determination. But your body should be fit to match your glorious resolution. It has just been two days since you have woken up after being in a coma for months. No matter how much you try to ignore it, your body won't let you. Your willpower can only take you this far."

  "Heh. That's why you stopped attacking me. You were trying to tire me out…" Sweat trickled down her forehead as her breaths turned a little messy.

  He proudly grinned. "I am so glad I didn't have to explain that to you. You are worthy of my respect."

  Jia smiled. "Well played. But if you think that you caught me, you are very wrong."

  Nobody knew when but with lightning speed, she moved her leg, aiming straight at his crotch.

  Sure, she was tired but collapsing was a part of her plan. Seeing her defeated, Mingshen would come to her side feeling victorious to take her away. That was when she would launch her vicious attack.

  But Mingshen caught her ankle in the nick of time and smiled. Jia froze.

  "You underestimate me, Spicy," his black eyes sparkled in mischief. "Careful. You don't know how many women will be heartbroken if I get hurt 'there'" he chuckled. "I don't want to destroy their fantasies no matter how impossible they may be."

  Lu Bojing had an urge to faint.

  She-she really dared to hit him on his balls! This woman has some guts!

  Mingshen lazily yawned. "There are some rules to fighting, especially when it's between a man and woman. No offense. Women are capable, but in your state, it's a daunting task to fight a tall, healthy man against someone who has just woken up from a coma. So what would any weak person do against such an opponent? Aim at his vitals. Private parts are the most sensitive and you are guaranteed a win if you land a clean hit. Nobody would stand a chance if you crush a man's precious member," he laughed.

  "You collapsed, but I knew you were cooking something in your mind. You won't give up. Did you think that I would drop my guard and you would get your golden chance? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Too bad. Fighting is also my forte just as how cutting up my research subject is~"

  Jia tried to shake her foot off, but he had firmly grasped it in his palm.

  "I must say. You thoroughly entertained me today," Mingshen kept laughing and laughing as if this was nothing more than a game to him. Anybody else would have been petrified by such a close call of getting their balls almost crushed.

  "I like you, Spicy. I like you more and more now!" His body trembled in excitement. It was thrilling to get a challenge after so long.

  Jia was a perfect definition of brains with beauty who gave him the thrill and challenge he always wanted.

  She stared at him and smiled. "Indeed. That's what I was aiming for, but I lost. But you are also right that I don't give up. That's why I always have a card up my sleeve."

  He narrowed his eyes, but before he could make sense of anything, she leaned and pointed the glass shard at his neck.

  The same broken piece with which she threatened Lu Bojing.

  He sat absolutely still.

  When did she pick up that glass shard? It wasn't in her hand the whole time……

  Now that he thought about it, he didn't see her throwing the piece anywhere. That meant it was always with her, just kept hidden from him.

  She chuckled. "It seems that we are back to a full circle, dumbo. I am ending this fight just as I started it. And trust me…… This time, I won't miss."
