While Liu Haishan was still in a daze, Xiao Beibei walked right up to him.
Xiao Beibei asked, "On what grounds do you say you weren't worthy of me before, but you are now?"
Liu Haishan replied, "Before, I was just a lowly soldier, and you were a princess. How could I have ever been worthy of you?"
Xiao Beibei asked, "And what about now?"
Liu Haishan said, "Now, my status is not much different from that of a high-ranking officer, and my combat skills will only continue to improve. I can offer you a sense of security, and I feel that I am finally on equal footing with your status. I have the ability to protect you, and I don't want my own hesitation to lead you into choosing someone else."
Xiao Beibei asked, "What makes you think I would be with you now?"
Liu Haishan said, "I never assumed you would be with me. I just wanted to tell you that I like you."
"It’s just that I like you. I’ve said it. Whether you choose to be with me or not is up to you, but I will always like you."
Xiao Beibei asked, "Then will you be like him?"
As she spoke, she gestured toward Zhou Yu.
Liu Haishan assumed that by "capable," Xiao Beibei was referring to Zhou Yu's martial arts skills.
He replied, "I don't know if I’ll ever be as capable as him, but I will strive to catch up to him."
Upon hearing Liu Haishan's words, Xiao Beibei said with a hint of grievance, "And you say you like me? You’re no different from him, fickle and unfaithful."

Liu Haishan was stunned and asked, "Fickle? If his martial arts could be mastered just by being fickle, what would that make us?"
Xiao Beibei was also stunned. It was clear that Liu Haishan was on an entirely different wavelength.
Xiao Beibei had no choice but to ask directly, "Will you be like him and take many wives in the future?"
Liu Haishan asked, looking confused, "Why would I want to take many wives?"
Xiao Beibei pursed her lips toward Zhou Yu, who was currently drinking and competing with others, and said, "Isn't he the one who has taken many wives?"
Liu Haishan said, "That is his business. What does it have to do with me? I am not him."
After a brief "Oh," Xiao Beibei said, "Alright then, I’ll give you a chance to pursue me."
Liu Haishan asked with excitement, "Really?"
Xiao Beibei said, "But there is a condition."
Liu Haishan said eagerly, "Don't just give me one; I would agree to a hundred."
Xiao Beibei smiled slyly and said, "Fine then, a hundred it is."
Liu Haishan was taken aback for a moment, then wore a look of embarrassment.
Xiao Beibei continued, "The first one is that you must be able to defeat my father."

Liu Haishan looked at Xiao Beibei with an embarrassed expression and asked, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Xiao Beibei retorted, "What’s inappropriate about it? If you can't beat my father, how can you expect him to believe you can protect me?"
Liu Haishan thought for a moment and then walked over to Xiao Zhi, who was sitting with Zhou Yu.
Upon reaching Xiao Zhi, he saluted and said sternly, "Sir, I challenge you to a martial arts duel."
This left both Xiao Zhi and Zhou Yu completely bewildered.
What was going on? Why on earth would Liu Haishan want to challenge him to a fight? Xiao Zhi wondered, unable to grasp the situation.
However, he still said, "Haishan, you’re still a bit lacking to challenge me. You should go back and train for a while longer."
Liu Haishan replied, "But Beibei said that if I can't beat you, I'm not allowed to pursue her."
Xiao Zhi glared at Xiao Beibei in the distance and said, "You brat, you’re even setting up your own father? Get over here!"
