Chapter 316: Suspicious (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Dongfang Liren was like a student whose teacher was checking her homework. Her expression froze slightly, and she subconsciously stood up straighter. “I’ve definitely learned it. It’s just that… I’ve been busy with work these days and haven’t had much time to practice martial arts…”
Ye Jingtang was skeptical. “Practicing martial arts is a big deal. You can’t slack off. Your Highness, please make up a spear stance for me to see.”
Dongfang Liren looked around and saw that no one was watching in the hall. She slid her feet forward and backward, clenched her hands, and assumed a standard spear stance. “How is it?”
Ye Jingtang walked around Dongfang Liren and found that there was no difference in her stance between now and back at Jasper Pavilion.
When Dongfang Liren saw Ye Jingtang frown, she took a deep breath, and her fat-headed dragon puffed up a little. She was a little unconvinced. “1 practiced according to what you taught me. Is there a problem?”
Ye Jingtang came behind Dongfang Liren, held her arm, and raised it slightly. Then he hooked her ankle with his foot and slid it a little to the side. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her posture, he held her waist with both hands and swayed her back and forth.
Swish swish-
The swaying formed trembling waves on Dongfang Liren, and she was a little annoyed. “You’re shaking so hard. How can I stand still?”
“Your Highness’s lower body is unstable. Your body became unstable after I swayed casually. If an opponent slashes over, you will fall to the ground on the spot.”
Ye Jingtang was very serious. He went in front of her, planted his feet on the ground, and held his hands in the air, assuming the Cauldron Supporting the Crushing Spear Stance. “Your Highness, try shaking me.”
Dongfang Liren sized up Ye Jingtang and walked behind him. She held his waist with both hands and shook it a few times.
The flesh on Ye Jingtang’s waist moved, but the muscles and bones inside were like iron frames, stably supporting his body. Even when she shook his waist forcefully, there was no ripple in his drooping sleeves at all.
“How is it?”
Dongfang Liren felt the gap between them. After some thought, she placed her hands on the side of Ye Jingtang’s waist and used the method of the Wind Listening Palm to sense the details of his muscles exerting strength. Then she slowly slid her hands to his abs…
Ye Jingtang’s essence qi was vigorous, and he had yet to finish recuperating. Dumdum put her hands around his waist and touched his stomach, and the soft fat-headed dragon was pressing against his back. His breathing became chaotic.
Dongfang Liren discovered a flaw in Ye Jingtang’s immovability, and her eyes immediately lit up. “That’s it?”
Ye Jingtang was a little helpless. “This is different…”
“What’s different? When a man slashes you, you’re as motionless as a mountain. But when a woman seduces you before launching a sneak attack, you can’t even stand steadily?”
It was rare for Dongfang Liren to catch Ye Jingtang’s flaw. She put on the posture of a strict teacher and patted his shoulder. “Stand properly!”
Ye Jingtang knew that there was indeed something wrong with him. He suppressed his emotions and tried to calm himself down.
But Dongfang Liren had no intention of letting Ye Jingtang off. She pressed her hands on his abdominal muscles, moved her head to his shoulder, and blew lightly on his neck. “Phew-”
?!
Half of Ye Jingtang’s body went limp. He turned his head. “Your Highness, what are you doing?”
Dongfang Liren put on a serious expression. “Testing you. What else can 1 do? Don’t you even have this bit of willpower? Stand properly!”
Ye Jingtang wasn’t a dead person. How could he be calm after being blatantly seduced by Dumdum?
But he felt that what she said made sense. If he couldn’t even withstand such a small test, if he encountered a demoness with evil intentions in the future, he might lose his reason on the spot. Thinking about it, he didn’t refute her. He forcefully stabilized his mind and allowed Dumdum to tease him.
Dongfang Liren’s understanding of martial arts was indeed inferior to Ye Jingtang’s. But in terms of her comprehension of applying profound martial arts to the handle of a saber, she could be considered extraordinarily talented.
Seeing that Ye Jingtang still wanted to resist, Dongfang Liren used the Wind Listening Palm to sense the changes in his qi and blood. With just the right touch, in a few moves, Ye Jingtang’s breathing was unstable, his qi and blood were surging chaotically, and ‘it’ gradually transformed into a big scoundrel.
Fortunately, this show of a superior taking advantage of a subordinate didn’t last long. Rapid footsteps came from outside the door.
Tread, tread, tread…
Dongfang Liren’s expression changed slightly. She hurriedly retracted her hands and stood up straight, pretending to be serious and asking about work.
Ye Jingtang felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He turned around and saw a chief constable of the Black Office walking quickly to the door and cupping his hands.
“Your Highness, there’s news from the mountains that the Prince of Wu is hiding in a cave. His personal guards are relying on the terrain to defend to the death. It’s already impossible for him to escape. Your Highness, should the Ze Province army bring him back, or…”
Dongfang Liren frowned. She wasn’t very happy to hear this news. After all, she had waited for Ye Jingtang for the entire morning. If she set off now, by the time she got there, the Prince of Wu would have long been caught. Did she bring so many people all the way from Rising Sun City just to be a bystander?
Ye Jingtang understood Dongfang Liren’s thoughts. He knew that he had delayed Miss Dumdum’s time to take credit, so he said, “Why don’t I bring the experts of the Black Office and send Your Highness over now? It’s around fifteen kilometers of mountain paths. It won’t take long to arrive there. Perhaps 1 can even restrain Bai Siming. This will save the soldiers from incurring more casualties.”
Dongfang Liren felt that this was a good idea and immediately set out. “Let’s go-”
