In the end, Zhao Changhe's combined use of sword and blade was broken by Yue Hongling, her longsword resting on his neck as he helplessly raised his hands in surrender.
Yue Hongling couldn't feel too proud, after all she was of the Second Layer Secret Treasure, while Zhao Changhe hadn't made a breakthrough yet. She wasn't Xue Canghai, not so easily challenged by those of a lower rank. Winning was expected.

But at the same time, she felt relieved. Her little man was becoming more and more formidable.

One of the perks of having a female hero for a wife was not only that one could practice together, aiding in the mastering of new skills, but also that the lady could identify issues and offer various helpful insights.
And in the end, they could undress each other and share a romantic bath together.
