Chapter 232: The Dominant Duo

"Who is he?"
Uyun Tu pointed at Lu HaiKong and yelled angrily at Uyun Qiqige.
Uyun Qiqige completely ignored him. As Lu HaiKong's eyebrows furrowed, she leaned in and kissed his forehead. Then, turning to Uyun Tu, she said, "He's my husband and the brave warrior who tamed the Horse King!"
Uyun Tu's hand immediately went to the hilt of his knife, and the last shred of rationality he had left prevented him from drawing it. "I don't believe it! I absolutely refuse to believe that a weak Han man like him could tame the Horse King. It must have been you, Qiqige! How dare you, for the sake of a mere Han dog..."
"How dare you!" Lu HaiKong's eyes widened with fury as he heard the words "Han dog."
Despite his severe injuries, the aura of his Mountain Splitting Strike erupted, and for a moment, a domineering presence pressed down upon Uyun Tu.
Uyun Tu's face changed, and he was startled by Lu HaiKong's aura, taking a few steps back. But he quickly recovered and stepped forward, exuding a fierce aura in an attempt to challenge Lu HaiKong's dominance. However, who was Lu HaiKong? He was a man capable of killing even historical generals. Although severely injured, the level of his Mountain Splitting Strike was exceptionally high, far beyond what a mere Uyun Tu could match. Uyun Tu's aura was instantly crushed by Lu HaiKong's overwhelming presence.
Uyun Tu's face paled, and he retreated several steps, his pride shattered in this situation, even without any physical harm.
"Believe it or not, if you dare utter another insult towards the Han, I'll make sure you die right here in this tent!" Lu HaiKong forcefully channeled his aura, aggravating his injuries but maintaining an unwavering air of dominance.
"You..." Uyun Tu seethed.
"If you dare say another word against my man, I'll kill you!"
Qiqige's icy words caused Uyun Tu's face to pale. He knew that Qiqige, despite being a woman, was stronger than most men. There were hardly any in the entire tribe who could best her, and Uyun Tu was no exception. In this situation, he could only glare at Lu HaiKong with intense hatred before storming out of the tent in a fit of rage.
With Uyun Tu's interruption, Lu HaiKong found himself slightly more appreciative of Qiqige. At the very least, he admired her final words.
After Uyun Tu left, Qiqige looked at Lu HaiKong with the curiosity of a child discovering a new continent. Lu HaiKong's earlier display of dominance perfectly suited her taste, and the terrifying aura he exuded clearly indicated that this man, in his prime, was no weaker than her.
"I'm glad you tamed the Horse King," said Qiqige, a straightforward girl who saw no point in hiding her thoughts.
Lu HaiKong glanced at Qiqige and replied with a hint of sarcasm, "What if a frail old man had tamed the Horse King instead?"
"Then I'd kill him, release the Horse King, and wait for the next man who tames it to appear," Qiqige declared with unparalleled dominance.
That's more like it! A woman as strong and domineering as her would never settle for such an uncertain way to decide her fate.
Lu HaiKong seemed to have anticipated her response, and without surprise, he glanced at Qiqige before turning away and closing his eyes to contemplate a crucial issue.
He had to decide whether to immediately restore his health, for while Lu HaiKong was domineering, he wasn't foolish. Without the ability to protect himself, he wouldn't have dared to be so assertive against Uyun Tu.
If he used a distributable skill to raise his Basic Axe Technique to level 35, Lu HaiKong could instantly revive with full health. However, doing so had its drawbacks, especially for him at this moment.
He had realized that his previous failure with the Mystic Scroll was largely due to his inadequate understanding of the Basic Axe Technique. If Lu HaiKong were to use skill experience to raise its level, he would face a similar issue.
Currently, Lu HaiKong's Basic Axe Technique had already consumed too much distributable skill experience, and its foundation seemed unstable. He had intended to deepen his understanding and raise the technique to level 35, thereby increasing his chances of success with the Mystic Scroll.
However, in this situation, if Lu HaiKong wanted to heal his injuries, he would have to rely on the Purple Qi Ascending Dragon Technique. Despite its incredible effectiveness, it would still take him three days to fully recover after treating his wounds.
Lu HaiKong had to choose between immediate safety and the future. After a brief moment of thought, he opened his eyes and looked at Qiqige, who was scrutinizing him. "Woman, can you protect me for three days?"
Lu HaiKong's tone was unapologetically domineering, as if he were issuing a command rather than making a request.
"Of course, as a woman, it's my duty to protect my man," Qiqige replied.
Well, these two were cut from the same cloth, both equally domineering. Qiqige's words weren't the issue; it was her tone. She naturally reversed the roles of men and women.
Lu HaiKong couldn't tolerate this: "In that case, forget it! I don't need your protection!"
