The Story of a Stroppy Princess-Chapter 16: A Clear Setup

Ping'er and Ye You stood behind Hua Yueling obediently, while Mo Wushuang sat down before her gracefully.

"Ping'er, Ye You, why are you standing here? Sit down, come on. Waiter! The same refreshments, two more please." Hua Yueling felt uncomfortable about being watched while eating.

"It's my honor, miss." Ping'er waved to Ye You immediately with great joy. Finally, the two sat down. Ye You stared at Hua Yueling's beautiful back, expressionless.

"Childe Wushuang," Hua Yueling came directly to the point," I intended to buy weapons from you, but I am not sure whether you have it or not?"

"Oh, what kind? Miss Hua." Mo Wushuang still smiled with calmness which, however, to Hua Yueling, was just out of courtesy.

"A soft sword." Hua Yueling plucked it out of the air.

"You can use the soft sword? Do you have inner energy?" Mo Wushuang was shocked by her demand. His sharp eyes lingered over her determined face.

Hua Yueling smiled, "No, I don't. But it doesn't mean I can't use it."

"Oh? How to do with it?" Mo Wushuang frowned, "It seems much shorter to be used as a whip. What's worse, a slight of carelessness may hurt you."

"You don't have to worry about that. If you doubt my ability, then we can have a fight. If I win you with the soft sword and without employing inner energy, then how about sending the best sword in your Tianjiu Chamber to me?" What a shrew lady!

Mo Wushuang was thrown into astonishment by the young lady's utterance. What a big talk! Nobody was more familiar with weapons than him. As a result, he said in a cold voice, "Are you fooling me around? Miss Hua."

"Well, Mo Wushuang, it was not cute at all of you to look down upon women."

Hua Yueling adjusted her breath, changed her face, and squinted her eyes. A strong murderous look emanated from her, which made no one dare look down upon her.

Her offish aura churned inside him and he felt like he was fighting with a master. He thought she was unfathomable. It was the first time he had met someone like her, not to mention a woman.

"Miss Hua, I am sorry for what I said just now. In that case, I'll take that as a bet." Mo Wushuang's intuition made him dare not underestimate this woman any longer.

"Great, it's a deal. The date for the contest is up to you!" Hua Yueling controlled her aura and smiled sincerely.

"How about tomorrow afternoon in my Tianjiu Chamber?" Mo Wushuang said.

"Done! I'll come by all means. Remember, and bring the best soft sword." Hua Yueling joked as if she was afraid that he would hide his treasure.

"Made from iron of the abyssal sea, the Sword of Beauty is the best soft sword in the world. And it happens to be kept in my Tianjiu Chamber. If Miss Hua can defeat me, I will give it to you without any complaint." Mo Wushuang said cordially.

"Nice, the Sword of Beauty. It's perfect for me." Hua Yueling said with a smile and took a charming sip of the tea. And her eyes glanced at the opposite side of the downstairs.

Mo Wushuang was at his wits' end. However, he still admitted that Hua Yueling was really a stunning beauty, especially the time when she cast her shocking and murderous look. He was looking forward to her performance tomorrow and hoped it would not be a disappointment.

Hua Yueling's smile changed into sneer, and she turned to look at the stairs. And Mo Wushuang also followed her gaze.

The landlady came with an anxious expression on her face.

"Excuse me, I want to use the bathroom. Ping'er, come with me!" Hua Yueling suddenly stood up and walked to the stairs. And when meeting the landlady, she also asked whether she wanted to use the bathroom.

The latrine was, as a rule of construction, located in the back yard of the teahouse.

Mo Wushuang and Ye You waited upstairs, while the landlady felt a little bit uneasy to serve tea to the two men who are in different ranks.

"Bro. Ye, why are you willing to subordinate yourself to her?" Mo Wushuang dared not look down upon this guard whom the Third Prince admired.

Facing him, Ye You raised his dark eyes and said with his mouth quivering a little bit. "Miss said never underestimates a woman."

"It looks like you've already taken the lesson." Mo Wushuang said with a nice smile on his lips.

Ye You glanced coldly at him and went on eating the pastries.

"Madam. You're not going to sell it to Miss Hua, right?" Said Mo Wushuang. He didn't mind Ye You's indifference and looked at the worried landlady.

"Childe, I'm just a petite woman, and I really can't afford to offend the Third prince." The landlady, of course, had just gone to the Osmanthus Chamber across the street to inquire the Third Prince.

"I don't think you can afford to offend my Lady more, for she dared to divorce the Third Prince." Quipped Ye You whose black eyes slanted at the landlady.

"Ah. What...What shall I do?" said the landlady. She turned pale instantly.

"She's coming!" Ye You had heard the footsteps. However, Mo Wushuang smiled amusingly to see what Hua Yueling could do to take this shop away from the Third Prince.

The three of them turned their heads and watched Hua Yueling coming upstairs smiling as she held up her skirt. Ping'er who followed Hua Yueling, on the contrary, looked not so well.

With a pale face, the Landlady stared at Hua Yueling who wore a beaming smile on her face.

"Madam, have you made your decisions?" Hua Yuelig sat down in front of Mo Wushuang, leaning gracefully back in the chair. She took a sip of the tea and produced an ecstatic sound of tasting.

"Miss Hua, I just...just..." The landlady gave Ye You a look, sweating with fear.

"What happened just now? You went to the Third Prince for enquiry, didn't you? And that dammed man was reluctant to give it to me, right?" Hua Yueling's smile made Mo Wushuang a little bit nervous.

"Miss Hua!" The landlady was so scared that she knelt down and begged, "Miss Hua, I am just an ordinary woman who can't afford to offend the Third Prince."

"I see, stand up." Hua Yueling did not seem to care.

At this time, Ping' er, who was opposite Ye You, scared to scream"Ah, there is a worm!"

Everyone turned around to find a green soft worm crawling out of the cake, which looked really disgusting.

"Worms? It is impossible! My cooks are so particular in sanitation." The landlady was so frightened that she rushed to take a look. Unexpected, it was true that worms which were stained with cooked rice flour were wriggling.

"Ye You, go and invite the officials of Yamen to have a look. I came for drinking tea but found worms in my cup. Let's see how they deal with it?" Hua Yueling still kept smiling leisurely.

"Miss, they will seal the store up first. Due to your noble status, they will hand the case to the Ministry of Penalty. Before the settlement of the lawsuit, the store will be sealed up and forbidden for sale." Ye You answered in a very cooperative vein.

"Ah, no! Miss Hua, please, you cannot do like this." The landlady finally realized that Hua Yueling had set a trap for her.

"Landlady, I have said that you are a clever person and you know how to do it，right?" Hua Yueling lightly rose her slanted eyes and took a glance at the stupid women with cold eyes .
