Chapter 146: Picking a Fight
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Feeling extreme pains under her whole bones like being scattered, she struggled to look up to Murong Xue. Her eyes flas.h.i.+ng sharp beam of anger seemed to devour Murong Xue alive. This beautiful little face as white as paper was Su Nanxiang, the granddaughter of Di s.h.i.+!
Murong Xue sneered. There were only Mu Liufeng and Su Nanxiang around her. The former bore no animosity for her and stood in front of her left, so the one attempting to push her into the water could only be Su Nanxiang undoubtedly. So, Su Nanxiang’s injury was entirely her own fault. She asked for it.
Looking at Murong Xue floating above the water unharmed, Yuan Fangfei’s shrewd eyes narrowed sharply. This woman caused trouble to her and even avoided her palm wind to make a fool of her. Yuan Fangfei waved her hand again angrily, letting out a blast of sharp strong wind hitting towards Murong Xue relentlessly, “p.i.s.s off!”
Murong Xue’s keen eyes quickly focused on the attacker. She raised her palm to resist the incoming power directly without blinking. Bang! With a loud sound, Murong Xue got blown off by the brute force in a flash.
However, she stayed unperturbed and quickly went backward borrowing that strength and fell lightly back onto the pleasure boat. A little smile flickered in her dark eyes: “Thanks for your a.s.sistance, Miss Yuan!”
Hearing this, Yuan Fangfei’s little dark face suddenly darkened. “How dare you to fool me!” She said, gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth, hitting the wooden hammer hard on the drum. With her toe applying force to the ground, her strong body instantly flew up in the air. She waved her left and right palms repeatedly, giving off strong palm force towards Murong Xue.
Murong Xue picked her eyebrows and dodged quickly. The strong force brushed past her dress, and hit on Su Nanxiang behind her heavily.
Bang! Su Nanxiang got a slap on her legs!
Bang! Su Nanxiang got a slap on her abdomen!
Bang! Su Nanxiang got a slap on the chest… The poor Su Nanxiang vomited blood after consecutive battering with her slender body tumbling back quickly, and then hitting the s.h.i.+p’s pillar heavily. She gave Murong Xue a hate stare, and fainted with reluctance…
Seeing Yuan Fangfei not going to stop attacking in the air, Murong Xue blinked and then said jokingly: “Miss Yuan, she will die if you don’t stop!”
Yuan Fangfei took a glance at Su Nanxiang, who was lying on the board, eyes-closed with life and death unknown, a burning anger instantly rising in her eyes. Her palm wind obviously targeted the hateful woman, and finally they all slapped toward Su Nanxiang. It must be the wicked woman’s trickery…
“You fooled me again!” Yuan Fangfei said with gnas.h.i.+ng teeth, and was about to pounce on Murong Xue.
While the other side just looked at her lightly and said unhurriedly: “Miss Yuan, if you continue to waste your time on me, the champion of the dragon boat race will be replaced!”
Yuan Fangfei paused and looked down, only saw the red dragon boat had caught up with and was about to surpa.s.s her blue one. She withdrew her eyes, gave Murong Xue a fierce stare, and then quickly fell back onto the blue dragon boat. She picked up the wooden hammer and beat the drum quickly, and then the blue dragon boat rushed to the finish line like a shooting arrow…
Looking at the fading Yuan Fangfei, all the people sitting on the high platform watching were stunned. Yuan Fangfei left unexpectedly and failed to beat Murong Xue beyond recognition. This was incredible since people who had offended her would at least be ill in bed for at least two or three months with a pair of broken legs…
Song Qingyan sat in the crowd and glared maliciously at Murong Xue. She offended Yuan Fangfei and was able to get away with it. It seemed that she underestimated this b.i.t.c.h’s ability…
Mu Liufeng stood on the deck and looked at Su Nanxiang, who was seriously injured and unconscious, then at Murong Xue in good condition, with eyes filled with wonder: “Still waters run deep!”
At first, he was thinking of helping Murong Xue secretly. But it seemed he didn’t need help at all. She skillfully solved Yuan by herself and hurt the victimizer Su Nanxiang. What a smart woman she was…
Murong Xue glanced at Su Nanxiang and snorted contemptuously: “She asked for it!” If Su NanxXiang had not pushed her, she would never have fallen off the boat and provoked Yuan Fangfei to cause the injury of Su Nanxiang…
“Someone! Send Miss Su back to Teacher Dis.h.i.+’s pleasure boat!” Mu Liufeng casually gave the command. Since he was not the attacker, he naturally had no obligation to send her to a doctor. Let Dis.h.i.+ deal with it!
“Yes!” Several maids and nannies came up, carefully lifted up Su Nanxiang and walked away.
Mu Liufeng’s eyes suddenly sank and his voice dropped. “Su Nanxiang is a vengeful person. She will never let you off easily because you have hurt her badly. You must be careful!”
“I know!” Murong Xue nodded. Her feud with Su Nanxiang could never be solved overnight. Su Nanxiang was always thinking about how to set her up…
“The blue dragon boat is the final champion!” Warm cheers spread to Murong Xue’s ears, so she looked sideways and saw those dragon boats successively rus.h.i.+ng toward the destination.
The dragon boat race was originally men’s race and opened no access to women, let alone for women to win the champions.h.i.+p. But all drummers and boaters had automatically ignored Yuan Fangfei’s gender, and surrounded her on the platform!
Yuan Fangfei walked a few steps quickly to the front of the emperor and bowed to him, “Your majesty!”
“Rise.” His Majesty looked at Yuan Fangfei with his sharp eyes and nodded gently, “Well, fabulous. Women are no inferior to men. Now that you won the champions.h.i.+p, what reward do you want?”
All eyes immediately focused on Yuan Fangfei. The first place of Dragon Boat Festival’s annual Dragon Boat Champions.h.i.+p would always been rewarded handsomely. Previous champions had asked for gold, silver, jewelry, silk, and granted marriage, which were all satisfied by the Emperor. So people wondered what Yuan Fangfei would ask for.
Under the gaze of numerous eyes, Yuan Fangfei raised her head to look at the Emperor and said word for word, “Your majesty, I am no lack of anything. People want gold, silver, jewelry, silk, but not me. If you insist on rewarding me, please grant me an opportunity,” Yuan Fangfei pointed at Murong Xue, “to have a real fight with her.”
The audiences were in uproar when they heard these words. It turned out that Yuan Fangfei did not give up fighting when she returned to the blue dragon boat. Instead, she prepared to teach Murong Xue a hard lesson after winning the champions.h.i.+p. This was in line with Yuan Fanfei’s character. Now, everyone was looking forward to the drama right after the Dragon Boat Champions.h.i.+p.
Song Qingyan was numb for a second, and then her eyes flashed a bit of concealed ecstasy. She knew Yuan Fangfei could not have let Murong Xue go so easily, Yuan Fangfei was just waiting for the opportunity. At the moment, Song Qingyan was expecting that His Majesty would agree to this request. She could not wait to see Murong Xue’s confounded look after being beaten beyond recognition…
