Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble
Chapter 386 Giving up
Li Xueyue had never fought with a stranger. All her matches were against the twins or her mentor. Of course, there was Yu Zhen... but his opponent was too strong.
Other than that, she didn’t have much experience in the sport.
The tight grip on her sword was unsettling. Her desire to win was strong. But her anxiety was hard to ignore.
"Focus," she told herself as she moved forward.
Li Xueyue got into position, took a deep breath, and Princess Mengjie rushed forward. The long sword in Princess Mengjie's hand was like a huge butcher knife, except that the tip of the knife was cracked.
It was really strange, how could Princess Mengjie use such a strange weapon. Li Xueyue blocked the attack, only to hear a "bang" sound, she clenched her teeth, surprised at the strength of Princess Mengjie.
"Princess, admit defeat." Princess Mengjie said with a smile, "You will never be able to defeat me."
All she encountered was silence.
For Li Xueyue, not answering was also an answer. Her arms trembled under the weight of Princess Mengjie. There was no fairness in this competition - this sentence flashed through her mind.
It was for this reason that Li Xueyue suddenly turned sideways and saw Princess Mengjie almost falling to the ground.
Princess Mengjie managed to steady herself at the last moment, but when she raised her body, a foot reached out and kicked her in the chest before she could react.
Martial arts. This was something Princess Mengjie could never have imagined. She was so shocked that she couldn't breathe and her steps became weak.
"You let your guard down." Li Xueyue kicked Princess Mengjie under her body and muttered.
To Li Xueyue's surprise, Princess Mengjie suddenly jumped up, and she took the opportunity to swing her sword down.
Li Xueyue rushed forward with her own weapon. She was surprised to find that the foreign princess' eyes revealed a kind of primitive excitement - wide and frantic. It was as if the game excited her.
"You are such an interesting person!" Princess Mengjie smiled as she watched Li Xueyue push her away.
Li Xueyue dodged the sword that was coming towards her head. She was startled by the direct attack, but quickly recovered and stabbed forward with the knife. The knife grazed Princess Mengjie's clothes, but did not draw any blood.
"I didn't expect you know martial arts." Princess Mengjie stepped forward, but was defended by her opponent again.
"Is that the best you can do?" she asked, striking again and again.
Li Xueyue blocked all attacks, whether on the head or the torso, but Princess Mengjie was determined to hurt her.
This incident did not surprise anyone. Until Li Xueyue slipped. Her foot was caught on her long skirt. She fell backwards, her eyes wide open, and the sky came into view.
Before she could even groan at the severe pain in her back, Li Xueyue quickly dodged the sword tip that was stabbing her neck.
Princess Mengjie didn't give her a chance to turn back and continued to attack Li Xueyue, knocking her to the ground.
Li Xueyue decided to give up her elegance. She quickly turned over and stood up. Everything went according to plan.
"Look at you," Princess Mengjie sneered, "you are so dirty. If you had allowed me just now——"
"Less talking, more fighting."
Princess Mengjie was furious. She narrowed her eyes. She could not tolerate any disrespect - especially interruptions. She was furious and rushed towards her opponent, swinging her sword.
Li Xueyue had guessed the other party's actions long ago and kept Princess Mengjie's plan in mind. She dodged to the side and Princess Mengjie followed closely behind.
The two swords collided again, but this time the impact was not as great.
"She is getting weaker and weaker." Li Xueyue thought to herself. She concealed her smile, threw her opponent out, and showed a satisfied smile.
Princess Mengjie was panting, sweat constantly coming out of her forehead. She tried her best to maintain the energy in her body. Just as she took a breath, her opponent finally launched an attack.
Li Xueyue rushed forward and punched her opponent. Their weapons collided loudly, but she didn't mind.
"As I said," Li Xueyue mused. "Your vigilance has been relaxed."
Li Xueyue turned around and threw Princess Mengjie out again. This time, the foreign princess didn't have time to calm down. She was too tired.
Princess Mengjie staggered and suddenly heard a sword flash under her feet. She was almost choked and had to roll to the ground to protect her vital parts.
Li Xueyue held her down tightly, and before Princess Mengjie could stand up, a long sword was already at her throat.
"If you move again, I'll chop you to death."
Princess Mengjie looked up at Li Xueyue, completely shocked by the failure. She still held the weapon in her hand, but it was in vain. The tip of the princess's sword was too close to her neck. She had to stretch her neck to the side to avoid being cut.
"you win."
Li Xueyue smiled when she heard this. She loosened her grip on the sword, put it down, and without warning extended a helping hand to Princess Mengjie.
"Here." Li Xueyue said, surprising everyone.
The foreign princess was spoiled, and the Crown Princess was so cruel, but she still had mercy?! The Crown Princess's generosity impressed them, but some people thought it was a sign of weakness.
"Don't feel sorry for me." Princess Mengjie slapped Li Xueyue's hand away and snorted coldly.
"This is politeness." Li Xueyue said expressionlessly, "It's also what you lack."
Princess Mengjie glared at the Crown Princess but remained silent. She stood up, ignoring the burning tears. She had suffered failure not just once, but twice - twice in a row.
"You should keep your husband. I didn't want him anyway." Princess Mengjie left angrily and refused to say another word to the Crown Princess. However, she still felt grateful.
The Crown Princess not only relied on her own abilities, but also used strategies. This is what Emperor Nanhui has always taught his daughter, but she always forgets it.
"Consider a peace treaty signed and in force."
Li Xueyue turned around instantly. She didn't expect that King Zhao Yuan would come in person. Her eyes fell on the item in King Zhao Yuan's hand - a scroll.
"I apologize for my sister's inappropriate behavior," he said softly. "Princess Mengjie is still a child at heart. Everyone in the royal family dotes on her, so she thinks the world revolves around her."
"You shouldn't make excuses for spoiled children. It just makes them more indulgent."
King Zhaoyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard her words. Her words sounded insulting, but he believed she meant no harm. Especially when her temperament was calm, like a blade of grass on a sunny day.
"Please forgive me," he said warmly, "and let Nanhui make it up to you."
King Zhao Yuan reached into his sleeve and pulled out a letter. "This is a formal invitation to the palace. With it, everyone will treat you as a distinguished guest."
Before Li Xueyue saw Yu Zhen, she felt Yu Zhen's gaze. Before she could react, a shadow appeared behind her.
"Thank you." Yu Zhen gritted his teeth. He grabbed the envelope and crumpled it into a ball with one hand.
King Zhaoyuan's friendly smile disappeared, "Your temper is just like my sister's."
Yu Zhen laughed. He put an arm around his woman and pulled her to his chest. "Insulting your own sister. That's a very wise decision on your part."
Li Xueyue looked down at his arms, which were around her waist, holding her firmly in place.
"No matter what," Li Xueyue said softly, "Han Jian will cherish this treaty with Nanhui. I hope Han Jian will return this affection."
King Zhaoyuan straightened up, a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Princess Li, I will do my best to ensure that there will be no more rifts between Han Jian and Nanhui, especially after my sister made such a big fool of herself."
Li Xueyue nodded. He reached out and handed her the scroll. She reached for it, but at the last moment, his fingers touched hers. She was startled.
King Zhaoyuan's smile grew even wider, just like her eyes. "Princess, if you ever feel lonely, Nanhui is only a week away. We will always welcome you with open arms."
A cold and cunning laugh was heard, and Li Xueyue trembled all over. The intense laughter made her fingertips feel blue.
"Don't worry, my wife will satisfy any request." Yu Zhen held her other hand, put it to his lips, his eyes flickering.
King Zhao Yuan's smile became forced, and the meaning was very clear: this rare gem belonged to no one else, but to that cruel beast.
King Zhaoyuan nodded calmly and turned away. He was irritated by the arrogant prince. However, there was nothing he could do.
The treaty is a done deal, and King Zhaoyuan is a man of his word.
