If it weren't mentioned, Zhuoma herself might not have paid attention to these details. She was solely focused on giving Qin Fang a severe beating as fast as possible, determined not to let him off unless he was battered and bruised, kneeling and begging for mercy.

But in that case, three lashes would obviously not be enough. It might require four, five, six, or even seven lashes, and it was not impossible that even more—eight, nine, or ten—might be necessary.

By then, even if Qin Fang ended up in a worse state from the beating, she still couldn't escape the tragedy of being spanked in public. Even if by that time Qin Fang really had no strength left, just a couple of touches... she could bear it in her heart, but with so many people watching, she couldn't bear it!

"Let's change the place... best if it's just the two of us!"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhuoma actually found Qin Fang's words to make sense and immediately agreed. But then she thought, it would be best if it was only the two of them. No matter who ended up unlucky in the end, only the two of them would know... it wouldn't spread out.

"That works! Let's go over to that mountainside, where hardly anyone goes..."

Qin Fang nodded and then pointed towards a spot at the foot of the mountains near the Nayi Tribe. It was a small valley with a relatively flat ground, and a small pond nearby where water was drawn and things were washed. If the two of them went in, hidden by the trees, it would be nearly impossible to see from the outside what was happening inside.

"Alright, let's go..."

Zhuoma immediately nodded and took the lead with her whip, heading over there. Qin Fang followed at a leisurely pace, signaling to those around him, which naturally included the Tang Sect Heroine Tang Xin.

Although Zhuoma's request was outrageous, the people on Qin Fang's side still tended to believe that the ultimate victor would definitely be Qin Fang. Just yesterday, they had feasted on the wild boar Qin Fang brought back, already regarding him as an almost divine being.

In the Gelan Tribe, Zhuoma had a more domineering presence because she was the chieftain's daughter and also the strongest in the tribe, so the men naturally had to give her face.

But this place was the Nayi Tribe, not the Gelan Tribe; why would these people give Zhuoma face?

On the contrary, Qin Fang was their friend, their guest, so they naturally tended more towards Qin Fang's victory.

The people of the Nayi Tribe and the Gelan Tribe each had their preferences, but this did not affect the mood of the parties involved, Qin Fang and Zhuoma. Tang Xin originally wanted to follow, but in the end, she stayed outside.

As an outsider, it was better not to get involved, or she would be in a difficult position. Although she understood that Zhuoma's chances of winning were not very high unless she could use her brain more and employ some smarter tactics...

Of course, she also knew that Qin Fang wore the Body Protecting Inner Armor, which even her Treasured Swords couldn't pierce, so Zhuoma's whip was unlikely to have much effect.

In this light, the agreed three moves seemed insufficient...

At this point, Tang Xin could no longer help either party and could only rely on them to resolve the issue themselves. She only needed to wait outside for the result.

Having arrived at the place prepared for the duel, Zhuoma suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to ask Tang Xin something—that is the extent of Qin Fang's strength.

If she knew that Qin Fang's strength was almost the same as that of Tang Xin, Zhuoma would definitely not have agreed to Qin Fang's conditions—almost like handing over the victory on a platter, despite the harsh terms Qin Fang had agreed to.

Unfortunately, Tang Xin was not here, so she had no one to ask. Moreover, she had already agreed to the conditions, and to back out now would mean automatically giving up even the three lashes...

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of, I don't believe you're really that formidable..."

Zhuoma secretly boosted her own morale, inwardly scorning Qin Fang thoroughly.

"Now there's no one else, just the two of us left. Can we start now?"

Qin Fang was calm and composed, seemingly not worried about his potentially miserable fate, which really frustrated Zhuoma, but she was helpless considering Qin Fang was indeed much stronger than her.

"I'll stand right here, you go ahead..."

Qin Fang found a spot to stand firm and said to Zhuoma with a smiling expression.

This location was quite open, with no trees nearby to obstruct, so Zhuoma's whip could be freely wielded without being blocked by the branches.

"Hmph, you just wait... don't move!"

Zhuoma lifting her whip, gave a light shout, not in a hurry to strike, but instead slowly circled around Qin Fang, seemingly planning to take her shot from behind him.

Attacking from behind allowed for very tricky angles, and it was hard to distinguish between real and feigned strikes. This way, the chance of her succeeding was quite significant.

Although she had previously attempted a Sneak Attack on Qin Fang from behind, back then Qin Fang could move and dodge, so her failure was understandable.

Because of this, she specifically reminded Qin Fang not to move, nor to fight back... with this constraint, her chances were much greater.

Slowly making her way to Qin Fang's back, facing his rear, Zhuoma's face immediately revealed a sly grin, as if she was also mocking Qin Fang for being too naive, even agreeing to the conditions that she herself found excessive.
