The Story of a Stroppy Princess-Chapter 12: Being Tough to Herself

Ye You dared not despise this woman and his eyes prudently focused on her every act. Hua Yueling felt it very funny and gave him a straight kick. While Ye You avoided it so swift with his inner energy that he gave her a quick counter-attack which, however, seemed to be in the knowledge of Hua Yueling who briskly dodged his attack a step earlier. Ye You was filled with apprehension and incredibility by her swift dodge because she didn't possess herself with inner energy.

How could he knew the amount of intensive training that Hua Yueling had received in order to become an international policewoman? Those like her had to ponder over and exercise every trick of their enemies again and again. The tricks were just like those in Japanese ninja, whose enigmatic martial arts were no worse than those of the top ancient martial artists with inner energy. What deserved special mentioning was the Ninjutsu, the speed of which was nothing short of great masters's Qing Gong (a kind of Chinese ancient Kung Fu, more specifically Lightness Skill, which enables people to move quickly like flying). Therefore, if they wanted to beat the ninjas, they had to find the weakness and steeled themselves so that they could become invincible eventually.

Obviously, her present body was too weak, incomparable with her original one. Thus, what she needed urgently was to take more exercises to build it up.

Only by enhancing his power up to the half can Ye You hit right on Hua Yueling's back. Hua Yueling made a sudden groan and fell down onto the table.

"My Lady, are you OK?" Ye You was frightened.

"I am fine, how much inner energy have you employed?" Hua Yueling felt a sudden suffocation, but it was not painful.

"Half," Ye You replied honestly.

"Release your full power, then." Hua Yueling found this Soft Gold Vest was indeed a rare treasure.

"Okay!" This time Ye You was never lenient and gave a palm to her shoulder. Hua Yueling didn't dodge this time, for she knew it was really unnecessary. Therefore she prepared to stand it.

"Bang!" Hua Yueling was thrown to a table and a round wooden stool was crushed. She was found lying flat on the ground with unbearable pain, almost the same as a crab being covered by a huge rock.

"My Lady, I am so sorry about that. Are you all right?" The face of Ye You changed slightly and he hurried to hold Hua Yueling.

"No, don't touch me. Leave me alone." Hua Yueling just hadn't caught her breath yet.

Ye You took Hua Yueling's arm and felt her pulse; and finally, he found that her internal organs weren't hurt, which gave him a total relief. Seeing Hua Yueling lying like a turtle, he couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth.

"Shit! It was really amazing! I almost died." Hua Yueling got up slowly.

"Miss," Ye You said in an amazement, "I've exerted all my strength. What a miracle you have survived."

"That is true. I am quite satisfied, for at least my life is guaranteed. Let's try it again with the hairpin." It seemed that Hua Yueling was determined to get herself some injuries tonight.

"Well, I will first try without the inner energy." Ye You had heard about the magical effect of the Gold Soft Vest before, but he had never seen it with his naked eyes. So, for fear of accident, he didn't employ all his energy.

"Ok." Hua Yueling looked at his handsome face with a smile. This man was very scrupulous. Although he usually wore a cold expression, she believed that the more indifferent the man was on the surface, the more ardent he was in his heart, just similar to her fellas of criminal policemen in the modern society.

Ye You thrust Hua Yueling's shoulder with a sharp hairpin. This time it was a frontal assault.

The hairpin was nailed to Hua Yueling's shoulder, but it couldn't prick her shoulder through.

"Go on! More strength." Hua Yueling said, staring at Ye You's black eyes.

Ye You nodded, and thrust Hua Yueling with extra inner energy. Hua Yueling took a step back, but the hairpin still did not pierce the Gold Soft Vest.

"Much harder!"

With the inner energy increasing once more, Hua Yueling felt that Ye You was so strong that she had to back away, until she leaned against the wall at the rear, but only to find that the pin failed to pierce the vest through.

"Much more!" Hua Yueling said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ye You employed half of his strength, for he felt there was a kind of strong resistance blocking the hairpin; but no matter what he did, the hairpin could not impale it.

"Ouch..." Hua Yueling grunted with a muffled sound. She felt a little pricking, but the Gold Soft Vest was still not impaled actually.

Being shocked, Ye You pulled back the hairpin immediately, looking at her shoulder. There was just a small hole in the white nightgown. Hua Yueling hastily unwrapped her nightgown and found that the Soft Gold Vest was intact, which brought her great delight.

"That's great! Ye You, one more try with your whole strength. You don't have to save a slight of your strength for it's not a vital area, so it doesn't matter if you stab me." Hua Yueling said while looking at Ye You.

Seeing the excitement and determination on her bright face, Ye You had no choice but to nod, because the woman in front of him really scared him with her bravery. The thought that she might be the most ruthless woman he had ever encountered in his life chilled him to the bone.

"Take care!" said Ye You. Resolute as he was, he stuck the hairpin straight out. This time he really exerted his whole internal energy, because Ye You knew that she wouldn't stop until he reached his limit. Therefore, a full length of energy was released.

"Ouch!" In great pain, Hua Yueling closed her eyes and fell to the ground.

"Oh, my Lady!" Ye You rushed to prop her up.

"It's...ok, just a little bit painful." Hua Yueling cast an anguished look over her shoulder. The fallen hairpin indicated that the Soft Gold Vest had not been pierced through, nor had it been damaged. But she was in real anguish as if she had been stabbed by a knife.

On the spot, she pulled the vest off her shoulder and revealed her fair skin, which scared Ye You so much that he instantly turned around with tightly-closed eyes. At the same time, he was also embarrassed by his master's audacity.

"Why? It's just my shoulder. Do you think I'm going to show you my boobs? Don't make such a fuss!" said Hua Yueling. She despised him with amusement.

"My Lady, you know, it's improper and against the conventions. In addition, it will bring damage to your reputation." Ye You's face flushed. After all he was a man.

"Fucking reputation! Do I have any reputation? As the saying goes that a clean hand wants no washing. If people always care about those rules and regulations, they will be pissed off first. So it is better to be cheeky and deaf, and only in that way will one live leisurely and freely." Her own theory stunned Ye You.

"What a bruise! No wonder it hurts so much." The extended bruise on her shoulder caused a sense of sharp pain.

Hua Yueling pulled on her clothes and slowly stood up. She moved her arm and said, "It hurts a little, but it is not so serious. This vest is really amazing."

"My lady, I will excuse myself if you have no want of me." Ye You was a little bit awkward.

"Well, you can go to sleep first." Seeing his ears burning red, Hua Yueling shook her head with amusement. It seemed that she had frightened this man so much that Ye You almost fled from her and dared not to take a deep breath until he walked to the courtyard.

In the days that followed, the Forth Prince did not come to visit Hua Yueling. However, she even didn't care about that, because she believed that those pieces of paper about Lanyue Kingdom were bond to show up again. In the past few days, she had been practicing with Ye You every day. As time went by, her body had become more flexible and stronger, and the skills she used had also become more sophisticated. Therefore, Ye You arrived at a conclusion that this woman was really horrible.

Half a month later, Hua Yueling looked more glowing and radiant, almost newly-transformed. Heroic spirit and dignity showed up between her brows.

"It seems that one more weapon is needed now." Hua Yueling looked at sweating Ye You with an evil smile.

"My Dear Lady, you want a weapon?" Ye You was shocked and thought that she had had the Soft Gold Vest and Gold Fingerstall, but now she still wanted another weapon. Did she want to be invincible in the world?

Hua Yueling turned her slanted eyes and looked at him with a graceful smile, "Of course, I have asked my father and he has told me that Childe Wushuang in Tianjiu Chamber loves weapons the most in the world. He has collected a variety of weapons. There must be one suitable for me. Let's go and have a look today."
