Chapter 299: I won’t repay you for what I owe you
Empress Running Away with the Ball
Chen Ning looked at him with a suspicious gaze. She felt like the more she looked at him, the more she couldnât understand him.
âLike this, youâre saying youâve decided on leaving him?â
âLeaving him?â Chen Ningâs lips curled into a lazy smile, âOf course not, I want to divorce him!â
Mo Chuan looked at her determined eyes and his heart filled with a strange warmth.
âThen what if you lose to him?â He deliberately teased her.
Chen Ning couldnât help getting angry as she glared at him, âXiao Hei, if you try to discourage me with your words, then I wonât repay you what I owe you!â
Wonât repay me?
That canât be allowed!
Mo Chuanâs eyes filled with a trace of a smile and his cold eyes seemed to instantly come to life.
Chen Ning couldnât look away. In her heart, she whispered that this personâs smile was like a blooming peach blossom.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHey, Xiao Hei, do you know the rules of the hunting contest?â
She was just casually asking, not expecting Mo Chuan to slowly nod at all.
âI do.â
âYou really know it? Arenât you an assassin? How do you even know this?â Chen Ning looked at him with a gaze of doubt.
âAs an assassin, I need to know many things, otherwise I wouldnât know how I even died. You can just ask about whatever you donât know.â
âThen tell me, how are they competing of the day of the hunt?â
Chen Ning looked at the green grass on the ground that was like a carpet. Sitting down on the grass, she held up her chin to look at Mo Chuan.
Her free spirited manner of sitting did not have the slightest bit of reservation that a lady should have. Mo Chuan was a little stunned, but a faint smile flashed in his eyes before he sat down beside her.
âThe contest will be held on the royal hunting ground which has a large area to hunt in. There will be many large animal released in advanced and once the contest begins, one will have a certain amount of time to shoot as much prey as possible.â He said it in a very precise manner. Chen Ning understood as soon as she heard it.
âThis contest seems quite fair. However, with everyone shooting at once, who can tell whoâs the one that killed the prey?â She then asked.
âEveryoneâs arrows has their own special mark. On the final inspection of the prey, whoever has the most marked arrows is the person who wins.â Mo Chuan paused and then said, âEvery time there is royal hunt, King Ding Yuan is always the winner. He can shoot up to twenty arrows at once and he can hit different targets at the same time. What he showed you today was not close to his true strength.â
Chen Ning couldnât help gasping before saying, âTwenty arrows?â
Mo Chuan nodded with a serious expression on his face.
She tilted her head and thought about it, âThen how does your archery skills compare to Chu Shao Yangâs? Your martial arts are better, so your archery skills should be around the same?â
âDo you want to hear the truth?â Mo Chuan gently said, âHe canât compare to me in martial arts, but I canât compare to him in archery.â
âAi.â Chen Ning gave a sigh. She curled her knees and placed her chin on them, silently contemplating.
âIt would be best if Xiao Bai can come back in time.â She suddenly said.
âEven if Chu Shao Bai comes back, he will not be able to do anything. Eldest Princess An Le will be personally hosting the competition and you must have heard of her prestige before. She is a very fair person and with her fiery character, no one has ever been able to cheat in front of her and no one has dared to do so. Even those spoiled brats donât dare to do so. So, itâs better if you forget about this idea as soon as possible.â
Mo Chuan coldly stared at her.
Once Chu Shao Bai was mentioned, the tone of his voice changed.
