"Jiajia… might lose!"

Although this was the result no one wanted to see, and it was something they hadn't anticipated at all beforehand, the reality before their eyes seemed as clear and undeniable as iron, leaving them no room for rebuttal.

Blood Linglong was still racing forward at high speed, but Princess of the Dynasty's pace seemed even faster, gradually closing the gap, and was even about to overtake.

Several people glanced at each other, every face showing different expressions, though their thoughts were likely similar—filled with surprise, shock, a touch of frustration, and concern.

Qin Fang's Princess of the Dynasty was inching ever closer. Xiaolajiao wasn't oblivious to it; in fact, she had noticed it long ago. After all, such an obvious narrowing of the gap was something even a fool would recognize.

At first, she thought Qin Fang must have been desperate to win and was forcibly driving Princess of the Dynasty to accelerate madly… a tactic not uncommon in horse racing.

However, the problem with this method is that while it can yield short-term results, it causes significant harm to the horse, potentially leading to severe injuries such as ligament or muscle tearing, which could permanently ruin the horse.

Although Princess of the Dynasty was considered a decent horse, compared to Flying General and Blood Linglong, it was clearly a tier lower.

For a horse of that level to be pushed like this, even Xiaolajiao didn't find it surprising. However, such extreme acceleration could at most be sustained for a few minutes. If it went on longer, the horse was bound to collapse.

At that time, they had only completed three or four laps. Despite the horse's speed, even at a maximal pace, it could only complete two laps in a few minutes. At best, it might barely catch up to Blood Linglong, which wouldn't impact the overall race much.

But beyond a few minutes of extreme effort, Princess of the Dynasty would essentially lose its effectiveness for the remaining stretch, practically guaranteeing the race's outcome as Xiaolajiao's easy victory.

And so, Xiaolajiao wasn't worried at all and continued controlling Blood Linglong to maintain its previous speed.

However, as Qin Fang's Princess of the Dynasty got nearer, and nearer, on the verge of catching up to Blood Linglong, the horse still showed no signs of fatigue, maintaining the same spirited energy as before, as if it had been drugged, astonishingly keeping up such incredible speed.

This left Xiaolajiao utterly astonished and wondering if Qin Fang might have injected Princess of the Dynasty with stimulants, although she knew this was impossible.

But how could any horse sustain such extreme and continuous speed?

Could Qin Fang be employing a sacrificial tactic?

Sacrificial tactics involve pushing the horse to its very limits, exhausting all its potential in a desperate burst of speed akin to the whip tactics used in ancient times.

Back in the era of horseback messenger stations, "urgent 800-mile deliveries" relied on messengers switching horses, riding non-stop through day and night until the horse collapsed from exhaustion, only to then switch to another horse.

In modern times, however, such practices are incredibly rare.

Let alone in horse racing, where even an average horse costs several million. Sacrificing a horse for a single run by literally driving it to death is something no matter how wealthy, few would dare betray such an investment.

Moreover, the Princess of the Dynasty Qin Fang was riding was far superior to ordinary racehorses, valued at no less than ten million Hong Kong dollars. Even Xiaolajiao, known for her prodigal ways as Miss Hu, wouldn't treat a horse so recklessly.

It's not a matter of affordability; it simply isn't worth it…

However, the stakes between Qin Fang and Xiaolajiao this time were absurdly high, the kind where no sane person would hesitate to do whatever they could to win.

Whether it was a month of companionship or ten days of servitude, these were outcomes neither of them could accept… neither wanted to lose this match.

"Hmph, I don't believe it..."

While Xiaolajiao was still grappling with disbelief, Qin Fang, riding Princess of the Dynasty, had already caught up. At this point, Qu Yuancheng and the others watching from afar had already noticed there was an issue. Yet Xiaolajiao didn't think the problem lay with her horse; she only assumed Qin Fang was mercilessly using the most shameless of sacrificial tactics against her.

Should she employ the same tactic?

That was clearly impossible!

For one, Xiaolajiao didn't think Qin Fang's tactic would guarantee victory. After all, Princess of the Dynasty wasn't overwhelmingly formidable.

Secondly, Blood Linglong was her prized horse, something she cherished deeply, just like how Qu Yuanrui treasured Flying General. It was so precious that even letting others ride it was out of the question, let alone submitting it to such brutal treatment.

For these reasons, despite sensing Qin Fang's immense threat, Xiaolajiao still hadn't resorted to extreme measures.

Of course, this decision spared her horse from the extraordinary strain, but it also neutralized her originally significant advantage in the race, reducing it to zero—or worse…

Clop-clop-clop-clop…

Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of majestic hoofbeats and the fierce winds stirred up in their wake, Qin Fang, riding Princess of the Dynasty, effortlessly overtook Xiaolajiao, who was riding Blood Linglong, charging ahead relentlessly.

Noticing it had overtaken Blood Linglong, Princess of the Dynasty seemed to grow even more elated, galloping at lightning speed while gleefully neighing, almost as if expressing its gratitude to the Knight on its back.
