Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Someone Dare to Compete in Martial Arts with Her Majesty
 

At these words, the scene fell silent once again.

The expressions on everyone’s faces were subtly nuanced.

Someone challenges at another’s marriage proposal event?

And those reporters who got it, they went crazy.

The clicking of their cameras was incessant.

What could be more thrilling than a mistress crashing the scene of an original partner’s proposal?

They could even imagine the sensation today’s events would cause!

Lin Siqian’s face looked incredibly unpleasant.

Jiang Ming’s countenance was also steeped in gloom.

Today’s plan was so perfect, it absolutely could not be ruined by Xia Weibao!

The two exchanged glances, and Jiang Ming stepped forward with a cold face, “Xia Weibao, my heart only has Siqian, you should stop wasting your efforts.”

The crowd, upon hearing this, suddenly came to a realization—so that was it, Xia Weibao was here to pester them.

Her skin must be thick as a wall, to not give up even at a time like this!

Xia Weibao folded her arms across her chest, her gaze somewhat nonchalant.

She had an indescribable, lazy charisma.

Hah!

With a contemptuous scoff, she said, “I heard I admire your martial arts talent, so today I wanted to verify for myself whether you really have the skills that could make me admire you enough to be the mistress.”

A slap must hit the right spot!

Isn’t Jiang Ming supposed to be building an image as a martial arts superstar, wanting everyone to know about his martial arts foundation?

Well then, she would help him out, letting him become famous in one fight!

As to whether he would become widely celebrated or universally condemned, that was not within her control.

After all, whether someone is a fool or a pig is not something she can control, right?

Jiang Ming appeared calm on the surface but felt uneasy inside.

Looking at Xia Weibao’s confident demeanor, he knew she must have come prepared; he couldn’t fall into her trap so easily.

Yet, her bold and direct challenge left him in a conundrum—if he refused to fight, he would be seen as cowardly.

Inferior even to a woman.

All his previous efforts would be in vain.

He hesitated for a moment, but soon steadied his mind.

He had directed Xia Weibao’s fight scenes in the past and was quite aware of what she was capable of.

She didn’t even qualify as flowery fists and fancy footwork.

Moreover, considering she had been “crazy” for three years, her situation was bound to be worse.

And he, a grown man who had studied martial arts at Shaolin Temple for a few years, surely was not going to fear a woman without the strength to truss a chicken.

With this thought, Jiang Ming felt as if he had taken a calming pill, and his entire being relaxed.

Since Xia Weibao had brazenly come to promote him, he wouldn’t be polite!

Xia Weibao, today’s humiliation is all of your own making!

He made up his mind inside, but kept it from showing on his face—after all, he still needed to maintain the appearance of a gentleman.

He couldn’t let people think he was bullying a woman.

So, Jiang Ming frowned with seeming difficulty, “I don’t hit women.”

Seeing his hypocritical manner, Xia Weibao had the urge to laugh.

“I am issuing this challenge as a martial artist, not as a woman. Just say whether you accept the challenge or not.”

Stop spouting nonsense.

Her words were brimming with provocation.

Jiang Ming’s heart was ablaze with anger as he glared at Xia Weibao, seemingly with malice.

You pass up the road to Heaven but insist on breaking into Hell!

Then don’t blame me for not showing mercy!

“Since you’ve put it that way, how could I refuse a challenge? However, you’re still a girl, and such a challenge would be unfair to you.

How about this—as a gentleman, I’ll let you have three moves first?”

Xia Weibao raised an eyebrow; how embarrassing would that be? What if she took him down in one move, how would he face anyone in the entertainment industry after that?

Her Majesty the Empress then smiled radiantly, “Alright then.”
