Sun Yunyun was furious. She grabbed her tightly, feeling both heartache and anger, and said, "How could your sister do this? How dare she show no respect for you, her brother!"
After the dance ended, Luo Zhiheng gently released Sun Yunjun, keeping everything in order. She only took a few steps apart after Sun Yunjun had stood still, her expression calm.
Luo Zhiheng chuckled, teasingly saying, "Isn't it because you're just too beautiful? I'm completely captivated by your charm and the noble aura you exude. Hmph, what are those men in the audience? How dare they even dream of touching you? Yun Jun, I'm participating in this competition to find the woman I love. Do you know the helplessness and loneliness of being a man who can't reveal his identity to the world? I need a woman as intelligent, beautiful, and noble as you to accompany me. Only you are worthy of me, Luo Zhiheng. Will you be with me?"
Sun Yunyun blushed and suppressed a laugh, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, as long as it's not about you."
My dear father whom I have never met, please forgive your daughter for speaking nonsense and slandering you, which is unfilial. When your daughter becomes successful and firmly holds the top position, your daughter will use the gold from the reward to forge you an awesome, glittering golden armor!
“Yes, she’s the most vicious, the most poisonous heart is a woman’s, but fortunately Yunyun is kind.” Luo Zhiheng quickly chimed in. Just when she thought she had dodged a bullet, Sun Yunyun suddenly realized something.
She hadn't known how to pursue happiness before, but today, Luo Zhiheng gave her a very strong feeling, and she couldn't deny that she was somewhat moved. So… should she defy her family this time and fight for her own happiness? Even if she and Luo Zhiheng couldn't be together, Luo Zhiheng had been so brave, so why couldn't she be a little braver?
"You...you let me go first, let's talk things out slowly." Sun Yunyun still wanted to resist with a cold face.
Sun Yunyun felt both heartbroken and deeply moved that a man would go to such lengths for her. She pondered for a moment. Her family wanted her to achieve good grades and marry the Crown Prince, but were Crown Princes so easy to marry? Were the royal family members so easy to get along with? Besides, she didn't want to marry the Crown Prince. All the wealth and glory were just fleeting memories. What she wanted was actually very simple.
I'm sorry, Mu Yunhe... but you really are impotent, you don't even know what erotic pictures are, how pitiful.
Luo Zhiheng then laughed it off, saying, "She said it was my husband's..."
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances. That was it? What on earth was that? Yesterday, Luo Zhiheng's zither music was nothing short of chaotic, and today's dance was downright grotesque. What was this rubbish? It's true what they say, someone with absolutely no talent is fearless, even dragging Miss Sun down with them—it's unforgivable!
Sun Yunyun stole a few glances at Luo Zhiheng, unable to suppress a blush. (She was afraid of being startled.)
Luo Zhiheng was taken aback, her eyes darting around, and she quickly said with a wry smile, "Yun Jun, do you think I'm just teasing you? You don't think I'm just trying to win by deceiving you, do you? Do you know what the real reason I came to participate in this competition is? It's because of Luo Ningshuang."
"Because of our dowries, you don't know, what my father prepared for me wasn't a dowry at all, it was my mother's money for my future wife. My father has also saved a lot for me over the years, which is for my future marriage. But that damned girl Luo Ningshuang is jealous that I have more than her, so she not only framed me to marry someone else in her place, but also wanted to use this method to get my dowry. She said that she would only be willing to exchange my dowry with me if I won against her. I was forced to do this, after all, she is my own sister. I can't kill her or I don't want to beat or scold her, so I could only agree to her absurd request."
Luo Ningshuang sneered, "Luo Zhiheng, you're really disappointing. You were wrong first in this competition, and then you couldn't dance. You're destined to lose!"
"That's not right. Didn't you say she didn't know you were the older brother? How could she say you're impotent?" After all, it was a daughter getting married, and those two words were indeed difficult to say.
Blushing and fidgeting, she said shyly, "Let me go! You...you're a man, how can you do this to a girl?"
Luo Zhiheng looked at her suddenly, shocked and slightly smug. But when Sun Yunyun's beautiful eyes met hers, Luo Zhiheng couldn't laugh anymore. She wondered if she had overacted and gotten herself into trouble. Why was that woman's gaze a little scary?
Could her charm have reached such an unparalleled level that she's attractive to both men and women?!

Chapter 134: A Series of Clashes! Incredible Strength! (Summoning Monthly Tickets)
I really don't know what kind of incredible luck Luo Zhiheng had to encounter someone who would willingly admit defeat?
"Sun Yunyun, have you thought this through? Or are you actually being threatened by Luo Zhiheng? Don't be afraid, the competition will stand up for you. You can perform a solo dance; after all, what Luo Zhiheng did just now wasn't really dancing." The chief judge had to speak up; she was also very troubled. Just what kind of monster was Luo Zhiheng reincarnated? How could she handle anyone?
In three competitions, he didn't showcase any unusual talent. The first competition was absurd, the third was bizarre, and only the second was somewhat watchable, but even that was ridiculous. Yet, this same person somehow made it all the way to the finals, which is simply unbelievable. The level and standard of the First Talent Competition seem to have dropped considerably.
Sun Yunyun said indifferently, "No need. I lost, and I accept that I lost to Luo Zhiheng."
Sun Yunyun's attitude was resolute, and she showed no sign of coercion or fear. Even if others suspected Luo Zhiheng of cheating, they couldn't say anything more. However, Luo Zhiheng's smug and arrogant face was truly frustrating and infuriating. So, they continued to throw rotten cabbage stalks and rotten eggs at the stage.
Since she had already broken up with Sun Yunyun, it was easier to deal with Luo Zhiheng this time.
However, upon seeing this, Sun Yunyun's face grew even colder, and she actually lifted her skirt and ran towards Luo Zhiheng. Luo Zhiheng was startled and quickly hid behind her. She was somewhat annoyed; she had really messed up this time. Cabbage stalks and rotten eggs weren't scary; what was scary was the drastically changed look in Sun Yunyun's eyes.
"Yunyun! What are you doing? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Get down here right now!" A stern voice rang out, successfully stopping Sun Yunyun in her tracks.
"Father!" Sun Yunyun exclaimed, her face turning pale. Her father had actually seen that she had voluntarily forfeited; the situation she would face upon returning home was predictably dire.
Sun Yunyun was startled and failed to dodge a rotten egg. Just as it was about to hit her, Luo Zhiheng's mind couldn't process the action. Without thinking, she reached out and pulled her away. The egg almost grazed Sun Yunyun's ear, but fortunately, Sun Yunyun wasn't hit.
"You, you let go of me!" Sun Yunyun's face began to flush red when she saw that Luo Zhiheng was holding her hand, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Luo Zhiheng jolted, quickly letting go, inwardly both amused and exasperated. Sun Yunyun really treated her like a man! Was her acting really that successful? Then, when the prince returned and she left the palace, could she disguise herself as a man and roam the world freely? She really had to thank her bandit brother for his philandering and unconventional ways.
"I'm leaving now. You...you do your best in the competition, and don't let your sister beat you. Don't be nervous during the later rounds, and don't tell your secret to the other women. I'm worried they'll tell you." Sun Yunyun's face was flushed, but she didn't dare look at Luo Zhiheng as she spoke.
She didn't know why, but she was worried that Luo Zhiheng would use the same trick again and tell other women about his male identity. The thought made her unhappy. Besides, those women were too worldly; what if they leaked Luo Zhiheng's secret and caused trouble? How would Luo Zhiheng face the world after that?
Luo Zhiheng could sense that Sun Yunyun genuinely cared about her, and even though she was used to being mischievous, she now felt a burden on her conscience. Sun Yunyun was innocent; it was just a pity she had run into her. Luo Zhiheng felt truly guilty, so for the first time during the competition, she adopted a serious expression and said gently, "Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone else about this. And please don't take offense at my earlier offense. If you're still unhappy, I can personally apologize to Miss Sun after the competition."
Seeing that she had finally become serious and her gaze was gentle, Sun Yunyun felt a surge of joy. Although she couldn't see her full face, she was certain she would see it at tomorrow's final, as masks were not allowed during the final. She absolutely had to come tomorrow.
“Okay, after the competition is over, I’ll throw you a celebration banquet at home,” Sun Yunyun said with a smile.
"What kind of achievement is this?" Luo Zhiheng chuckled, hooking her arm around her shoulder like a rogue. This was a habitual gesture for Luo Zhiheng; she did it casually even with men. After all, she was a female bandit, not one for formalities. She just got close to whoever she liked.
But it was different for Sun Yunjun. As a lady from a respectable family, she had never been put on the arm around someone's shoulder before. Moreover, she knew that Luo Zhiheng's 'true identity was a man', so she became even more shy and resisted subtly, whispering, "Don't do that, someone is watching."
Luo Zhiheng nearly vomited three liters of blood!
She quickly withdrew her claws, silently praying: "God, please forgive me. I truly didn't mean to deceive this innocent girl. I'm a normal woman; I want to find a husband, get married, and have children."
But she said with a straight face, "We're all women, what are you afraid of?"
Sun Yunyun suppressed a laugh, finding Luo Zhiheng quite amusing, yet also feeling a pang of pity. Despite being a man, Luo Zhiheng could calmly declare himself a woman, which spoke volumes about the tragic nature of his past life.
The final result of the competition is: Luo Zhiheng won this match!
This is an extremely frustrating and devastating result. Is this still a talent competition? It should be turned into a mischief competition instead.
Sun Yunyun was taken away, while Luo Zhiheng stayed behind to continue the competition. Today was a series of matches. Five of the top ten were eliminated, and the top five will compete in two groups. Luo Ningshuang doesn't need to participate in the series of matches; she just needs to wait for the final match against the last person in the final showdown.
Luo Zhiheng will participate in two matches!
