Chapter 226: Love, Lies, and Secrets

The colossal tiger lay lifeless on the forest floor, its massive head impaled by Liu Qian's precise strike. As the adrenaline of the battle began to settle, Liu Qian gracefully rose to her feet, her body injuries miraculously healed, leaving no trace of the recent struggle.

In a shaded corner of the forest, Zhang Jun, who had just arrived, let out a sigh of relief. His initial panic and shock transformed into genuine admiration as he witnessed Liu Qian emerging unscathed from what seemed like a perilous situation.

Having stumbled upon the scene with Liu Qian apparently wounded, Zhang Jun had contemplated rushing to her aid. However, he halted in his tracks, awestruck by the revelation that Liu Qian not only survived but single-handedly defeated the formidable tiger.

"Beautiful and powerful... You should belong to me, Qian'er!" he declared with a determined gleam in his eyes.
