Chapter 373 (1/2)

The Seventh Princess's Flame Dance (3)

Crackle crackle.

The fire dancer flapped her wings, then flew towards the two remaining warriors with such intensity she left trails of hot ripples behind her with every swift movement. She was unbelievably fast!

“Run!”

The two warriors were fast enough to notice the impending danger, they quickly separated themselves and ran to different corners of the arena.

Unfortunately, the flame angel quickly caught up to them and soon they were engulfed in its flames.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“Help!”

Thankfully, they didn’t suffer too long before the fire dancer returned to the sky, leaving behind her stunned, toasted opponents.

“…”

It was magnificent. The audience was so taken back by what they saw, not knowing how to react to the exciting battle. Their jaws were numb at this point, there were too many surprises in this battle alone, they wouldn’t even find it weird if the seventh princess transformed into an angel.

This was the first time she used this skill, Ye Lanyu had never seen this before when they sparred.

Sure, the skill was impressive but Ye Lanyu didn’t feel inferior at all. She was long aware that she also had a similar skill herself, though she had yet to use it in a battle.

The two girls were rather close, though they fought every day. At the end of the day, they were still friends so it was only courtesy for them to show some mercy- they never used their full powers on each other.

Of course, this hadn’t become a major issue for their personal growth and skill development!

Their potentials were still the same even if they both decided to restrain themselves. On the other hand, it was even easier for themselves to identify their own weaknesses.

It's misleading to think that training at full capacity all the time was good for development. You discover different things about yourself when alternating between different levels of restraint- you'd learn so much more about yourself that way! This approach was more suitable for those who wished to refine a specific skillset.

“Hey, we’re done, we can go home now!” shouted Ye Lanyu towards Ye Lang without stopping to check on her opponents.

“Ah, so soon? Slow down–” yelled Ye Lang from across the arena. Everyone heard him.

“Oh come on, you don’t need to eat so much now! Xiaoyan won’t run, she’ll be here forever!” replied Ye Lanyu calmly, albeit shouting.

Zhen Xiaoyan flushed red upon hearing that, she quickly shouted, “Miss Lanyu, that’s nonsense!”

“That’s just a fact, Xiaoyan. Remember when you swore to be his kitchen lady forever? You're probably going to be here for a long time!” said Ye Lanyu with a smile, bluntly stating the obvious. The girl was finally standing in front of both Ye Lang and Zhen Xiaoyan.

“Yeah, it’s too late for regrets now fatty. There’s no backing away from this promise, I’ll get you no matter how far you run!” Ye Lang added with a mouthful of food.

“…” the three girls were speechless. Without context, that… certainly sounded like a threat.

Zhen Xiaoyan shook her head. “I'll never break our promise! I won’t run away. If I disappear someday, remember to look for me!”
