Give Up

Li Xueyue had never engaged a stranger in a sword fight before. All of her matches were either with the twins or her instructor. Well, there was also Yu Zhen…but he was too tough of an opponent.

Aside from that, she didn't have much experience in the sport. 

It was unnerving to grasp the sword tightly in her hand. Her desire for victory was strong. But her anxiety was hard to ignore.

"Focus," she told herself whilst advancing forward.

Li Xueyue got into position. She drew in a breath, and Princess Mengjie charged forward. The sword used by Princess Mengjie resembled an enormous butcher knife, except the tip of it was split. 

It was a wonder how Princess Mengjie managed to wield such an exotic weapon. A loud clash could be heard when Li Xueyue blocked the attack. She gritted her teeth, surprised by Princess Mengjie's strength.

"Give up, Princess," Princess Mengjie said with a chuckle. "You'll never be able to win against me."
