Chapter 563 - Illegal Gambling (1/2)
It's been a week they have been sailing on the ocean then soon the overactive princess eventually got bored and in the world where entertainment is only around chess and reading Lory found herself bored to death but luckily she can't escape to the spatial ring.
For a while she does feel better, she spends her time by trained her body again, she does rock climbing, running, swimming, diving even surfing. she even finds leisure time to continue her old hobby which is drawing.
Lory spend a fun and fulfilling days until she realizes that the time outside is slower than the mystique realm, turn out three weeks inside the ring is only less than a week on the outside, Lory feel she lift a rock and hit her own legs.
”I'm bored” Lory complain while laying lazily inside her hammock, yes, she brought her hammock from the spatial ring to the ship.
”You keep saying that as if it would make the ship go faster...” Ming Yue Yin complains as she lay on the couch while reading her subordinated report while Su Feng fanning her from the side and Su Yi helps her to organize the paper report before it's blown away by the wind, she perplexed why her Empress is not working on her own cabin, its' clearly Ming Yue Yin also bored.
Meanwhile, across the couch Yang Xi Yin sits on the chair with a straight back while doing embroidery like an elegant noble daughter should ”We already enter Gui Hong territory so it wouldn't be long enough before we reach Jiang Dong city, be patient a little bit Lory” said Yang Xi Ying with her eyes fixed on her embroidery, actually Yang Xi Ying behavior is improper but since she gets along with Lory and Ming Yue Yin she gradually loses her guard down and tend to forget about her lady-like education.
Li Mo Zhen watches his wife from afar, Yang Xi Ying unrestrained expression and genuine smiles make him happy but at the same time, he feel disappointed with his incompetence, because Yang Xi Ying is only able to show her real color when she's around Lory, Ming Yue Yin, and Hei Shen people, and that because she feel saver around them, she knows no one would talk behind her back or spread a malicious rumor about her slight mistake, Yang Xi Ying doesn't have to worry that someone hides their ill intention toward her.
Grew up in an aristocrat family yang Xi Ying have a full understanding the fight inside the courtyard, with so many concubines and step sister-brother who schemed behind her back Yang Xi Ying learned from the young age to watch her behavior, and one time she make mistake she almost ruined her reputation for good.
Thankfully she marries with Li Mo Zhen but even in the Jiu Yun sect there still a few people who question Yang Xi Ying capability Li mo Zhen know he had to work harder to raise his power and authority so one dares to oppose him ever again just like Long Ming, only then he can assure Yang Xi Ying safety. Li Mo Zhen stares his wife with a warm gaze before he returns to her cabin to continue his cultivation.
”How is Gui Hong continent look like anyway?” Lory mutters.
”I don't know, I never leave the Liang Zu Kingdom” Yang Xi Ying tilted her head while examined her embroidery.
”I never went to another continent either” Ming Yue Yin let down her hands then lift her chin ”id any of you know about the Gui Hong continent?” Ming Yue Yin asks her subordinate.
Su Yi pours warm tea on the tree cup, it becomes normal for her not just served Ming Yue Yin but also Lory and Yang Xi Ying too, the Empress relationship with them is closer than biological sister so Ming Yue Yin subordinated tend to treat them with the same amount of respect, and the two girls friendly attitude only make her more sincere.
”I heard Gui Hong continent is more prosperous and cultured compare to our continent,” Su Yi said.
”And the have abundant resource too so their common cultivator is stronger than our people” Su Feng add-in.
”Really, they don't look strong” Ming Yue Yin recalled Sanguan Wu Ci bodyguards, other than Sanguan Wu Ci himself none of them is strong.
Su Jing sigh inwardly ”They are strong your majesty, it's the three of you that is too powerful”
”Really?” Ming Yue Yin frown in doubt.
”I did use a spell to accelerated my footwork I never thought it would be that easy though” Lory inadvertently said while swinging inside the hammock in a relaxed manner ”Their movement is too simple….”
”True is like they think with their fist, not their head” Ming Yue Yin agree, they're cultivator actually not bad but their move is too easy to predict ”Perhaps they are amateur?”
”Nah, they just depend on their cultivation too much, they raised their cultivation but not raised their combat ability” Lory yawn slightly as she speaks.
”Fighting is not only about who's the stronger, but it's also about momentum, you have to know where to hits when to hits, and how to hit” Lory raised her finger like an irresponsible school teacher while laying inside the hammock lazily so Ming Yue Yin and yang Xi Ying could only see her fingers.
”One of the biggest problems about cultivator that they tend to avoid anyone who has higher cultivation than them, they easily lose their fighting spirit the moment they know their opponent is stronger than them, I mean….they not even try,” Lory said in baffled.
”I beg your pardon, Miss Lo…ry, why do you think so?” Su Yi still not used spelled Lory name.
Lory didn't bother too much she thought it quite amusing, Lory got off from the hammock then she massaged her stiff waist for a second then say: ”Just because they are stronger than you doesn't mean they don't have a weakness, especially when you fight against a human being, human have emotion there should be a moment when they lose their guards down, you just need to be patient and observant” Lory shove Ming Yue Yin legs before she takes a seat next to her then she lifts the teacup ”Learned their fighting habit, predict their movement, make a diversion, play a mind game, you know there's a lot of tricked you can do to win against your enemy” Lory chuckles then take a sip of her tea.
