Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
Hua Cai shouted with great fanfare, but the skill she used was only rudimentary. She had only been practicing for a month; how could she have progressed so quickly?
The reason why Zhou Meimei was able to master it in such a short time is simply because she was practicing orthodox Emei martial arts, which originated from the same source as the Nine Yin Manual. It's only natural that she learned it quickly. She didn't have that kind of luck.
However, Hua Cai didn't have a chance to show off her half-baked Nine Yin Manual skills. Just as she got into position, the two super experts who were with Yue Chen knocked on the bamboo door of the hot spring.
"Are you two there? Miss Jin, are you alright?" It was Wei Tuo's voice, which Hua Cai recognized immediately, and she could hear a hint of relief in it.
Relieved?
Hua Cai felt that she must have been too nervous just now, which was why she was hallucinating.
However, the reason a fight didn't break out this time wasn't entirely due to the arrival of these two. It wasn't until three years later that Hua Cai finally got the answer from Wei Tuo, whom she had become very familiar with.
Their third prince has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and a slight germaphobia. He simply cannot tolerate having his clothes splashed with someone else's bathwater.
"So, even if I had attacked him then, he might have given up the chance to retaliate because he was in a hurry to go back and change his clothes?"
Hua Cai was shocked. After receiving confirmation from Wei Tuo and the other person, she regretted her decision and drank the tea in front of her in one gulp.
Three years later, at the residence of the Third Prince of Yuedu.
Hua Cai, who was meditating in the garden, suddenly opened her eyes, leaped back several feet, dodged a sword that suddenly thrust out from the side, and looked speechlessly at the group of people who had surrounded her.
"Oh, another assassination attempt? Are you guys ever going to stop? Are you playing house like kids?" Hua Cai looked at Lang Yi with a black line on her face as Yue Chen, with three people, surrounded her with a murderous look on his face: "How old are you? Your prince is still a child, are you a child too? Why don't you know how to persuade him? It's always the same thing. I'm tired of playing this game even if you're not tired of it."
Wolf One thrust out his sword in a very perfunctory manner, giving Hua Cai a look that said, "What can I do?"
"Wolf One!" Yue Chen, standing behind Hua Cai, gave a sinister snort: "Kill her, or you will all go to the Discipline Hall and receive thirty iron thorn whips."
Wolf shuddered, quickly braced himself, and swung his sword. As he got close to Hua Cai, he lowered his voice and said, "There's no other way. We have to finish this quickly. That whip doesn't taste good. My child is waiting for me to buy him candied hawthorns. If we drag this out any longer, the candied hawthorn vendors will have to close down."
Hua Cai's lips twitched, and she gave him a "you got what you wanted" look. Before Lang Yi could react, she slapped him hard on the shoulder.
The wolf was in pain and flew backward, but when it landed on the ground, it found that it was completely unharmed and was moved.
Baozhu is indeed a loyal friend. It's not for nothing that I've brought you a snack every time I bought candied hawthorns over the past three years. Xiangji's mung bean cake, right? I'll remember that.
As Lang Yi fell "injured," Yue Chen's moves became increasingly intricate, forcing even Hua Cai to carefully parry. The remaining two men in black glanced enviously at Lang Yi, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and secretly regretted not having cultivated a good relationship with this girl. Otherwise, they too could have taken a blow and gone to rest at this moment.
The three were fighting fiercely when the sound of footsteps approached from afar. Two middle-aged men walked in and, as they passed by, didn't stop, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. They simply smiled and greeted Hua Cai when she looked over.
"Hey, they're killing people."
Ever since she moved into the Third Prince's residence three years ago and first clashed with Yue Chen at the hot spring, Yue Chen has been acting like a madman, suddenly slashing her with his sword every now and then, each move aimed at vital points, and he always used deadly methods.
From that time on, one of Yue Chen's two super bodyguards went to Hua Cai's side, specifically to help her stop Yue Chen when Hua Cai's life was in danger, but he was horrified to find that in just half a year, he was no longer of any use.
Six months after being "assassinated," Hua Cai spectacularly knocked Yue Chen to the ground for the first time, pinning him down and preventing him from getting up.
Over the course of these three years, the guards of the Third Prince's residence also rapidly improved their strength under such rigorous training.
At first, the servants in the Prince's residence were on edge and terrified because of Yue Chen's relentless attitude. But in just two months, they went from being tense to numb, then from numb to perfunctory, and finally evolved into happy bystanders.
Even Jin Yin, who used to protect Jin Baozhu like the apple of his eye, could now watch without blinking as Yue Chen's longsword stabbed towards Hua Cai after six months of so-called assassination attempts, ultimately ending with Yue Chen being brutally beaten by Hua Cai.
After being reported by Jin Yin several times, Emperor Yue focused his attention on talking to his beloved son, wanting to understand how a one-sided love story had turned into a drama of "If you love her, you will kill her." However, Yue Chen shut him down with a simple "I don't know," and "Even if I wanted to kill her, I wouldn't."
Very good, very willful.
The Yue Emperor, whose conversation had yielded no results, was extremely worried that Jin Yin would bring up the matter again, and he almost avoided Jin Yin altogether. However, to his surprise, Jin Yin never mentioned it again. Upon inquiring, he learned that the one who had been beaten down was his own son.
Could my son have masochistic tendencies?
The Yue emperor was saddened.
The only one who persisted in fighting to the death from beginning to end was Yue Chen. However, Hua Cai was transforming rapidly, from someone who could only survive under Wei Tuo's protection at the beginning to someone who could fight Yue Chen and his men for several rounds. Hua Cai was changing at a speed that shocked everyone.
"Weibo, where is my father?" Hua Cai asked Wei Tuo as she turned to look at him while she was still dealing with his moves.
"He's already back from Liang Kingdom and is currently reporting to the Emperor at the palace. He'll definitely be back before dinner. Tsk tsk, hey, Master, that sword strike just now should have pierced his throat and heart. What are you doing cutting your sleeve? Focus, you're fighting! Why are you staring at that girl's face?" Wei Tuo answered Hua Cai's words while giving Yue Chen martial arts instruction with a look of exasperation.
Upon hearing that Jin Yin was coming back, Hua Cai became incredibly excited. In a moment of distraction, Yue Chen flew out of her hand.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to." Hua Cai quickly went to help her up.
This was the biggest contributor to his rapid improvement in martial arts skills.
The other two guards, who were struggling with whether to go or not, stumbled upon hearing Hua Cai's words.
Why does this conversation sound so awkward?
The scene was incredibly eerie, wasn't it?
Fearing that she might accidentally hurt someone, Hua Cai only used some moves to counter each move. Yue Chen was naturally unharmed, but as usual, he left with a sullen face because of the failure of this "assassination" operation.
