Du Chan was standing proudly in the middle of the hall. The king and everyone were looking at him. Suddenly an ice-cold voice echoed in the hall. Everyone recognised that voice it was the princess!
Du Chan looked at the princess, she took a pill out and threw that to him.
"Eat that pill, it will help you recover your Qi" the princess said.
"Princess….I'm not worthy of being your opponent" Du Chan caught that pill and said because he didn't want to leave a bad impression of him.
The princess looked at him.
"Eat that fast. We are going to have a duel right now" the princess said. She was very stubborn when it came to cultivation and fights.
Du Chan threw that pill into his mouth and sat down in a lotus position. And closed his eyes.
'What should I do? ….What should I do? ….I don't want to fight the princess. Even if I did fight, how can I hurt her? A punch in the face? NO… that's a sin. Hmm, punch her in the stomach? That's even worse. Then I will just defend her attacks or keep dodging. And there is no rule that says I need to win for sure, right? Losing in the princess's hands is not bad' Du Chan thought and smiled.
After some time Du Chan's Qi recovered and opened his eyes and looked at the princess.
'She is really gorgeous' Du Chan thought. She stood up from her seat and started walking towards him.
"Princess, wait a moment. May I ask why do you want to fight me?" Du Chan asked curiously.
She looked at him and said "I thought you needed a beating for looking at me with those eyes of yours the whole time. It is really creeping me out"
"What…" Du Chan didn't know what to say.
And the princess' fans in the hall were looking at him. Like they were going to kill him now.
The elders laughed. The sect master and Elder Yue looked at each other and laughed.
Du Chan suddenly started to feel embarrassed. This is the first time he felt like that.
'STOP, WHY I'M FEELING EMBARRASSING OF?' Du Chan controlled his embarrassment and looked at the princess and took his battle position.
Princess also took out her sword. It was an ordinary sword. She didn't have any intention of using the one she got as a gift.
"Take your weapon out, you will not win against me without it" the princess said.
"Ahh but…" Du Chan looked around and saw an iron rod that was broken from the table. He remembered that he was good at using rods. He always used to beat Zho Rong and the people who wanted to bully him.
He went to that place and grabbed the rod and swung it.
"Good" He said.
Then came back to his place and silently looked at the princess.
"So you're going to use that as a weapon?" Princess asked
"Yeah" Du Chan answered.
"Tsk, attack first then" she said.
Du Chan tightly gripped the rod, let the qi in his dantian out and surrounded its surface. He ran and attacked her on the left arm.
Princess countered the attack with her sword. With a blast, she was forced back, but she was fine.
Du Chan looked at her, seeing her fine, he was relieved.
'Wait, making her lose her grip on the sword and separate it from her makes me win!' Du Chan thought.
The princess struck back at him, he took defence and with that attack he was pushed back.
"How can you have so much body strength? Even though you're still in the Qi condensation realm, your body strength already rivals the Blood Condensation realm warriors" the princess said.
Du Chan looked at her with a smile and attacked her as hard as he could. She blocked that attack with her sword but felt pain in her palm. Du Chan didn't stop his attacks, he was repeatedly striking the sword, to make her lose its grip..
Princess was struggling by the rapid strikes and the unexpected pain in her palm increased. She slowly tries to avoid the strikes but he didn't allow her. Her expression changed when she was about to lose the grip on the sword. Seeing her losing, Du Chan smiled and gathered more strength and attacked the last strike.
With the strike hit the sword, it broke into pieces. Du Chan moved behind her and put that rod on her neck. The rod was just an inch away from her neck. The neck was smooth as jade and white as milk. When he saw her neck closer, his heart started to beat fast. Without knowing, his head got near it and sniffed her neck. A sweet scent entered his nose. He felt he was reborn. The princess felt heavy breathing at her neck. When she looked back, she saw that he was sniffing at her neck and was enjoying it with a strange expression on his face.
"What are you doing?" She said this was the first time someone did something like that to her.
When he heard her he came back to his senses.
"Ahh nothing" he expressed.
"Then why do you have such an expression on your face and you were breathing heavily near my neck!" She said
When the princess' fans heard her, their eyes turned red and their anger reached its peak.
"Kill that bastard" one of the prince's fans said.
"YEAH, he dared to sniff the princess. Let's cut his nose" another one said.
"I will definitely kill that dog" another one shouted.
The cursed rain continued and Du Chan who was questioned by the princess was dumbfounded. Didn't know what to say, so he changed the topic.
"You lost princess" he said.
"When did that happen?" Princess asked.
"When your sword was broken!" He said.
"Huh? There is such a rule?" She asked
"What…." Du Chan was shocked. "There is no rule like that?"
"No, so I can fight right" she said and the air around her got cool, the temperature dropped so quickly that Du Chan felt his body was going to turn into ice.
Even though he didn't move, he stood there while keeping the rod near the princess's neck, and the air around them started to turn into snow.
"You should move away or else you're going to turn into an ice sculpture" she warned him
"N-No" he said and tried to grab her left arm with his left hand but she moved and he grabbed something soft and round.
'What is this…' Du Chan thought and pressed it, it felt very soft and comfortable. And the air around him became normal as before. He had a sigh of relief and looked at her. Her face was very red.
'Huh? What happened to her?' he thought and when he looked, he saw that his hand was on her…. special part.
He suddenly removed his hand from there and went back some steps.
"Sorry, sorry that was not on purpose" Du Chan apologized.
Princess didn't know what to say so she lowered her red face and ran toward the exit and ran away from the hall.
"Princess….wait…" Du Chan said. But she already left the hall.
'DAMN! Now she thinks I'm a bad guy, damn, damn' he started to scold himself.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't see what happened there because the snow-covered their view. Only elders, the king and some seniors knew what happened but no one talked a single word.
"What happened? Why did the Princess run like that?" someone asked.
"I don't know, grandpa. What happened there" a kid asked his grandpa.
"Cough' 'Cough' nothing, just that kid won against the Princess!" That old man said.
"What? Did he win against the princess?" That kid was surprised
"Ahh, how did that happen" one of the princess' fans started to cry.
"Stop crying, why are you crying….it's just a single defeat...she will win…next time" another one said with tears in his eyes.
Du Chan stood in the middle of the hall and didn't move a single inch. Then he looked at the king. The King's head was lowered.
'Oh my fucking God I think he is mad asf' Du Chan thought and the sweat started to drip from his forehead.
"Your grace...that was not on purpose" Du Chan apologised to the king.
He was silent. There was no reply from him but the elder from the Frozen Ice Valley was burning with anger.
"How dare you take advantage of my disciple" she said with a very ice-cold voice.
"Senior...that was not on purpose" he said to her.
"Haa, how dare you talk back to me?" Her rage was released. The cold energy attacked Du Chan but an invisible wall blocked it.
"Hahaha, Frozen Ice Valley elder at Houtian realm warrior attacking a Qi Condensation warrior. This never happened before" Elder Yue said without moving from his chair.
"Humph" the elder pouted and sat on her chair.
Du Chan looked at Elder Yue, he winked at him and told him to come to his side.
Du Chan slowly started to move towards him. And came beside him and stood silently.
The king was the same, his face lowered. Du Chan saw him and looked at Elder Yue. He bent and confessed.
"Elder Yue I will join your sect, please save me from this situation"
"Haha, that's not a problem. I will talk to the king" Elder Yue said.
"Then...okay" Du Chan said
"Your grace, please don't punish Du Chan. That's normal in a battle so don't be mad" Elder Yue stood up and said to the king.
"Hmm? Who said I was mad?" King said and looked at Elder Yue.
"Then.." Elder Yue asked.
"I'm happy right now" The king said
"What" Elder Yue, and the others who heard him all were shocked...
