Chapter 239: Contest, Victory

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Ying came to the upper area of the training ground and saw Xiao Jin standing in the snow and ice, swinging the spear in his hand. His aura was like a thousand troops attacking. She narrowed her eyes and her hands suddenly felt a little itchy. She felt like fighting. What should she do?

Su Ying was definitely a person whose body moved faster than her brain. As soon as the thought appeared in her mind, she darted to the spot behind Xiao Jin and kicked up the round sword on the weapon rack with one foot. She gripped it tightly and stabbed at Xiao Jin’s back.

This rascal was always ambushing her. Today, she had to teach him a lesson!

Xiao Jin was engrossed in his training when he suddenly felt a strong murderous aura lunging at him from behind. He swept the spear in his hand behind him and stabbed it directly at the other party.

However, when he turned around and saw that it was Su Ying, he instinctively withdrew his spear. Despite this, Su Ying did not give him the chance to retreat. When Xiao Jin withdrew his strike, the round sword in Su Ying’s hand ruthlessly struck the spear, jolting him until he had to take a few steps back before stabilizing his body.

“What? Your bones go soft when you see it’s me?” Su Ying sneered at him.

Xiao Jin’s eyes darkened. He tightened his grip on his spear again and began to intercept her attack.

The two of them suddenly started fighting. The soldiers and black-robed men who were still training on the ground were dumbfounded.

After Jiang Yun and the others arrived, they had only met Su Ying once. When they found out that she was Xiao Jin’s Princess Consort, they raised their fists and wanted to fight her, but they were stopped at that moment.

Jiang Yun stood on the training ground and patted Jiang Yang’s shoulder very gratefully as he watched the two of them engage in a fierce battle. “Brother, thank goodness you did everything to stop me back then.” Otherwise, with Su Ying’s skill, he wouldn’t be able to get out of bed for months.

Jiang Yang was secretly speechless, but he was also a little excited inexplicably. They knew that Su Ying was powerful, and they were even clearer about Xiao Jin’s strength, but they had never seen the two fight before. If they fought now, they didn’t know who would win.

“Hey! Do you think the City Lord can beat His Highness?” Zhao Neng nudged Wang Su who was beside him.

Wang Su also looked at the battle arena without blinking, “It’s… hard to say…”

Jiang Yun was displeased when he heard that. “What do you mean by ‘hard to say?’ His Highness will definitely win. Don’t you guys know how powerful His Highness is?”

Jiang Yang licked his lips, but he and his compatriots also knew very well how powerful Su Ying was!

“Why don’t we have a bet?” Wang Su suggested in all seriousness.

“Let’s bet then. I bet that His Highness will win.” Jiang Yun was definitely Xiao Jin’s staunch supporter.

“Bet what?”

“His Highness said that I was the best in today’s field training and that he would give me a beef leg as a reward. If I lose, 1 will give up that beef leg,” Jiang Yun said in a gloating manner.

“Alright. Let’s go with that.”

Jiang Yun was upset when he saw Jiang Yang and the others betting on Su Ying. “Why are you siding with outsiders? You are betting on that woman? Are you crazy?”

Jiang Yang said with a smile. “If we don’t bet on the City Lord, who will? If we all bet on His Highness, won’t the beef leg still be yours?”

At this moment, an emotionless voice suddenly rang out from behind. “I… 1 bet on the City Lord winning.”

Jiang Yang stared at the person who spoke. It was actually the Black Guardian. After training for so long, this group of people were like mutes. Other than shouting slogans, they didn’t say anything else. Today was the first time one spoke up.

“You rascal better think carefully!”

The Black Guardian nodded with a very determined gaze. “I want to bet on the City Lord. If I lose, I’ll give you the meat in my dish.”

Su Ying felt that their training intensity was too high, so they definitely couldn’t do without protein supplements. Therefore, they had to have meat for at least one of their three meals a day.

“Alright. You said so yourself.”

Jiang Yang stared at the Black Guardian somewhat helplessly. If that fellow didn’t step forward, that beef leg would be his tonight.

In the battle arena, Su Ying did a backflip and swung the round sword in her hand outward.

The round sword tore through the air and slashed at Xiao Jin with a powerful and fierce aura.

Xiao Jin quickly spun the spear in his hand. The spear formed a powerful protective wall of air currents with a strong wind, blocking the round sword squarely outside when it stabbed over.

Su Ying’s eyes narrowed. After landing on the ground, she dashed over and punched the hilt of her sword.

The round sword broke through Xiao Jin’s defense like a tiger’s roar that sent his spear flying.

He steadied his body, but the tip of Su Ying’s sword had already pointed at his forehead.

Su Ying looked at him smugly, like a colorful rooster that had just won a competition.

“Do you admit defeat?”

Xiao Jin smiled. “I admit defeat.”

Su Ying raised her eyebrows and placed the round sword back on the weapon rack. “Oh no, this is terrible. This happened in front of so many of your subordinates. This is unacceptable, so unacceptable. I’ve embarrassed you.”

Xiao Jin looked at her eager expression which seemed like she was dying to announce this to the whole world and the smile in his eyes deepened. “Then, are you going to make it up to me?”

Su Ying looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of Jiang Yun and the others, and her suddenly inflated vanity was greatly satisfied. She said without thinking, “Sure, I’ll make it up to you. I’ll definitely make it up to you. I’m leaving.”

Su Ying dusted her hands and left in a lofty manner.

She did not notice the light that was gradually radiating from the eyes of the black-robed men.

The City Lord was so mighty!

“Train well, and all of you will have meat to eat.” Su Ying waved her hand gallantly and rode off on her tiger.

Jiang Yun and the soldiers looked at Xiao Jin in disbelief. They could not believe that His Highness had lost to a woman!

“Your Highness, are you hungry?” Was that why he was so weak that he could not even hold his spear firmly?

Xiao Jin dusted the snowflakes off his body and said without any change in his expression, “Today’s training is over. Everyone can be dismissed.”

“Your Highness, we’re not tired. We can still train!”

Xiao Jin gave an indifferent side glance. “I’m tired.”

Jiang Yang slapped his thigh in bitter regret as he watched Xiao Jin leave.

“It’s all your fault that I couldn’t eat the beef leg today.”

Jiang Yun, who was still in disbelief, instantly became annoyed when he heard Jiang Yang’s words. “Why are you blaming me? Why don’t you blame His Highness?”

Jiang Yang glared at him in disdain. “Those two are a couple. How can His Highness use his full strength? Serves you right for not being able to get a wife!”

Jiang Yun looked puzzled. “Why can’t he use his full strength? Make yourself clear before you leave.”

Jiang Yun wanted to run after Jiang Yang, but he realized that someone was tugging at the corner of his shirt. He turned around and saw the Black Guardian silently tugging at the corner of his robe.

Jiang Yun frowned. “Why are you pulling my robe?”

The Black Guardian’s expressionless face split open in a grin at once. “Beef leg.”

“You still have to wait until I get it from the kitchen. Let go.” How could two strapping men tug back and forth on the training ground?

The Black Guardian still refused to let go. “I’ll go with you.”

“I say! Why are you so clingy?”

The Black Guardian didn’t say anything. His expressionless face split open in a grin again.

In the end, Jiang Yun couldn’t dissuade him. He could only grit his teeth and allow the Black Guardian to tug at him all the way to the kitchen. The latter only released his tightly clenched hand when he picked up the beef leg.

Deputy General Jiang, a rough and tough man himself, swore that he would never bet with these creepy creatures again for the rest of his life!
