The competition was to see which among the four would reach the starting line first after completing the route, which included a forest near the farm.

The route mainly circled the outer surface of the forest, and after taking a turn from there, participants had to reach the starting line.

Christ wasn't interested in the title of the best horse rider, nor was Sofia, but they both showed sportsmanship and gave their all in the competition.

The race began with Christ taking an early lead, a sight that didn't astonish anyone given his revered status. However, what followed left both Feng Hui and Julie astounded.

Sofia, who hailed from an orphanage and wasn't particularly favored in the Tang family, showcased remarkable riding skills that caught everyone off guard.

Even Christ, initially surprised by Sofia's prowess, soon found himself filled with a newfound fire - the prospect of facing a worthy rival ignited his competitive spirit.

As the race progressed, Sofia's gradual approach toward Christ fueled the intensity of the competition.

The gap between them narrowed, leaving both participants on edge.

For Christ, the emergence of Sofia as a formidable contender sparked a desire for the ultimate challenge, a worthy opponent who could push him to his limits.

Sofia was slowly inching closer to Christ with each stride.

In the wake of this interesting rivalry, the Feng siblings found themselves left far behind

. The race wasn't just about crossing the finish line first; it became a battle of wills between Sofia and Christ. Soon, Christ and Sofia reached the forest, with Christ leading the way

. But just when Sofia was about to overtake Christ, her horse screamed and started going wild.

The horse began to run on its own, and soon it ran all the way to the deepest cliff on the boundary of the forest.

Sofia could have easily used her skills to get out of this situation, but the cold poison suddenly reacted, making it impossible for her to tackle herself out of the situation.

Although the situation was dangerous and risky, Sofia kept her calm and thought of ways to save herself. Just when the horse was about to cross the edge of the cliff, a strong hit from the side pushed it by the side, and a hand reached Sofia's waist.

Strong arms were wrapped around her waist, and she was in the air, landing in a cold yet warm embrace. She was shocked by the chain of events and looked towards the owner of the arms, revealing Christ's face.

He was more handsome up close, thought Sofia when she moved. "Well, I have returned my favor of saving me in the alley, my savior, so now we are equal," said Christ with a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

Sofia was not able to understand the look in Christ's eyes as they held a combination of emotions which made him attractive like a Prince Charming yet dangerous like a devil. He was like a devil sometimes discarding all the people who are in his way without mercy but yet sometimes shows a gentle side .

"Well, I guess now we are equal," said Sofia with a playful tone.

Suddenly, Christ increased his strength in his arms, and the move made both of them close to each other. "Prepare yourself; we are moving back," the voice was cold just like the owner, but when in close distance, Sofia heard his voice in her ears.

He was so close that his breath still lingered in her ears, making her heart miss a beat for a second

. But still, Sofia dismissed these feelings as a sign of weakness after this dangerous event.
