"Ye Chen, what should I do then?" Chu Yanran was getting anxious. "I really want to learn martial arts, but I don't want to become a tomboy."

"True martial artists must temper their muscles and bones and refine their physique; it's even more tiring than moving bricks," Ye Chen said. "You're Empress Chu, with unlimited wealth. Why suffer through that?"

"I want to protect you!" Chu Yanran said. "That day at Skywatch Pavilion, when you were surrounded and attacked by several experts, you were on the verge of losing your life, and I couldn't do anything. It was such a feeling of extreme urgency. So, I want to learn martial arts, become a martial arts expert, and then I can protect you!"

"I don't want to become a tomboy, but I do want to be a martial arts expert!" Chu Yanran stated earnestly.

Empress Chu had this cute idea of transforming into a martial arts expert to protect Ye Chen.

"Alright, I'll teach you a set of soft boxing techniques," Ye Chen said. "If you can master this set, not only will you be able to go into battle and fend off enemies, but you will also be able to maintain your health and youth, preserving your beauty!"

"Practicing boxing can keep you beautiful and youthful? That's simply fantastic!" Chu Yanran cheered.

"Watch closely, I'll demonstrate it to you first!" Ye Chen said.

"Mm-hmm!"

Ye Chen began to demonstrate the soft boxing techniques, which he had learned from a small country. The boxing style was supple and passive, and the intent behind the punches was enduring yet lethal, making it suitable for women to practice.

His feet sunk deep into the sand, Ye Chen's body moved with the softness of a water snake, performing various incredible movements that were breathtaking to observe. Yet amidst these serene motions, his figure would suddenly burst forth with attacks swift as a snake striking, unleashing a barrage of deadly moves.

"Is this soft boxing yoga? No, that's not it. This boxing style appears soft and gentle, almost boneless, but it contains a fierce vitality!"

Chu Yanran's beautiful eyes sparkled, touched by Ye Chen's soft boxing. She experienced an indescribable epiphany.

...

After Ye Chen had demonstrated the soft boxing three times, Chu Yanran was able to remember the entire set of moves.

Two hours later, Chu Yanran was able to perform the soft boxing, and her movements were smooth and proper.

In the end, Ye Chen was gobsmacked, completely taken aback by Empress Chu's display of martial arts talent.

"How about that?"

After completing a set of soft boxing, Chu Yanran excitedly ran up to Ye Chen, eager to hear his praise.

"Same as I said before, you're too talented for the business world. You should join me in the martial arts world!" Ye Chen suggested.

Only after witnessing it firsthand did Ye Chen realize, Chu Yanran's martial arts talent was definitely higher than he had imagined. He seriously suspected that her understanding surpassed even his.

"Hmph, no way. I am a business empress, not a martial arts empress!" Chu Yanran declared with pride.

"Ye Chen, I'm tired," Chu Yanran said.

After nearly three hours of practicing boxing, her body was naturally exhausted. However, her spirit was still high - such was the subtlety of soft boxing, refining the body and nourishing the spirit.

"Hmm, then let's rest for a while," Ye Chen replied, and then he plopped down on the beach.

"The ground is all sandy and dirty," Chu Yanran complained. A stunning woman often has a bit of a cleanliness fetish.

"There's nothing we can do about that; this place is all sand. Otherwise, you could rest in the car," Ye Chen suggested.

"No way, the car is too far away. I can't walk that distance. How about you carry me there?" Chu Yanran asked.

"Uh, no, I'm tired too. I can't walk far," Ye Chen replied with a sheepish smile.

"Are you even a man?" Chu Yanran asked, her initiative so apparent, and yet this guy was too unromantic.

In the end, Ye Chen and Chu Yanran sat on the beach, with the tide rising and falling against the sand and seabirds occasionally flying across the sky. The breeze brushed over the faces of Ye Chen and Chu Yanran, making the moment's scenery sublimely beautiful.
