MARRIED TO A CRUEL CROWN PRINCE

I'm Not Thinking You're A Woman

Chapter 26: I don't consider you a woman

The large military training ground carried a smile on Ying Lili's lips. All types of military weapons can be found in military warehouses located on the left side of the land. Still, there was insecurity in Ying Lili about whether or not she would be able to defeat Sheng Li. "I have to defeat him otherwise he will force me to kill that person," thought Lili.

"Follow me," Sheng Li said to Ying Lili. General Xiao came towards His Majesty and lowered his head in front of them. "Your Majesty, please pass by here," General Xiao said. The crown prince and the crown princess entered into the big gun house. The soldiers lowered their heads looking at the crown prince and the crown princess there.

General Xiao turned to the crown prince and spoke, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will find trouble in the robe." Sheng Li turned to Ying Lili who was looking at her royal dress. "Come with me," Sheng Li said and turned towards the changing room. The guards standing there were dismissed by the crown prince. She then closed the door when Ying Lili asked why she had closed the door. "Do you want every guy here to see you change?" Sheng Li asked Ying Lili.

Ying Lili was angry at him. "How can you say that? And, what do you mean by change?" Ying Lili questioned him.

Sheng Li stepped closer to him while Ying Lili stepped back. "Surge. What are you trying to do?" Ying Lili confusedly asked him, furrowing her brows. Sheng Li did not stop when he was hit to the table where the military uniforms were aligned. "Ahh," Ying Lili shouted softly as she was hit to the table. Sheng Li towered above her and then spoke, "You can't fight with me in this dress. I don't want you to keep holding your long skirt while fighting with me."

Ying Lili walked away from him and said, "You want me to wear a dress just for sword fighting. I even defeated the first big brother in swordsmanship. So, I guess I won't change" Ying Lili insisted. Sheng Li smiled at Ying Lili.

"Lili, the first brother is crazy about your beauty so, he was deliberately defeated by you. But I'm a different case. Do you think I'll be easy on you just because of your charm?" Sheng Li asked.

"When did I tell you to be soft on me? You are too confident in your strength. What if I beat you? What are you gonna do?" Ying Lili asked the crown prince.

Sheng Li smiled and spoke, "I will kill that person for you."

"Eh?" “No, instead you will approve one of my requests to you,” Ying Lili asserted. Sheng Li agreed with him and went closer to his ears. "In addition to intimacy with you, you can ask for anything" Sheng Li whispered. Ying Lili pushed the crown prince away. "What do you think of me for? How can you think of that?" Ying Lili complained. Sheng Li slightly laughed and then turned towards the table.

"Seeing from your height, this uniform will suit you," Sheng Li insisted as he picked up the third numbered dress from the right of the table. He picked it up and placed it in front of Ying Lili who stepped back. "Can you not stand up straight?" Sheng Li asked Ying Lili who was upholding herself. Sheng Li sized up the dress to Ying Lili when he heard her speak.

"For a small fight, you do too much. Is it necessary for you to do a sword fight?" Ying Lili asked him.

"I'd like to know what kind of fighter you are so that everyone praises you. And, yes this is important because it is like a war where your victory or defeat will determine one's life" Sheng Li said with a smile. White military uniform with metal armor on the front with a low waist skirt. "Replace this," Sheng Li proclaimed, handing the uniform over to Lili.

"Call my assistant inside," Ying Lili said to him.

"But, I am a woman," Ying Lili replied.

"So? I don't consider you a woman" Sheng Li said. "Now, there are no more questions and change this uniform," Sheng Li said in a threatening tone. Ying Lili nodded and told Sheng Li that she would wait for him outside. "No, I'll be here. Do you want to tell every man here that we don't see each other as husband and wife?" Sheng Li asked him.

Ying Lili moved her lips. "And, you expect me to change in front of you? Have you lost your mind?" Ying Lili yelled at him. Sheng Li placed his palm over Ying Lili's mouth and said, "Don't shout here. When did I say that I would see you when you would change? There's another secret room behind this. I'll be there. Finish changing clothes, call me. Otherwise, I will come out myself," Sheng Li said as he lowered his hand and went to the left. Opening the door, he walked in and closed it.

"You didn't see, did you?" Ying Lili asked Sheng Li who replied 'No'. Ying Lili took off her top coat, followed by the top robe and high waist skirt. She quickly put on the bottom clothes followed by the top dress. She was happy that the dress was a perfect fit for her. But her hair was messier when she changed clothes. She called Sheng Li who saw her messy hair.

"The uniform is perfect for you," Sheng Li said and approached him. "Your hair" he muttered as he stroked them. Ying Lili blinked her eyes and stopped him. She turned around, removing her hairpins and other hair accessories from her hair. Putting them on the table there, she made her hair bun and kept it intact in place using a hairpin. "Okay, I'm done. Let's go," Ying Lili told Sheng Li who nodded. The two of them came out of the dressing room when Sheng Li ordered the soldiers and guards not to go inside.

General Xiao had already prepared a sword for them. Ying Lili grabbed the sword and then glared at Sheng Li. The two of them then went to the open ground followed by General Xiao.

Under the open blue sky, Sheng Li and Ying Lili were seen standing in front of each other, several meters away. Sheng Li smirked at Ying Lili who was glaring at him. Eunuch Xing-Fu approached General Xiao and spoke, "What does General Xiao think? Who's gonna win?"

"The Crown Prince will win unless he is willing to accept a defeat that will not happen" General Xiao replied. Lei Wanxi also came there with Weng Yu and stood beside General Xiao. "Brother Sheng will never accept his defeat. He is not a person who would easily let go of someone," Lei Wanxi said.

An-Ying Lili took the lead and attacked Sheng Li who easily defended his attack but was surprised to see the power in Ying Lili's attack. The sound of the clang of the sword resounded in the air. Ying Lili pushed her sword towards Sheng Li, increasing the pressure as Sheng Li moved his sword quickly along with Lili's sword so that he was pushed back and fell to the ground.

"Ahh, brother Sheng, be gentle with the crown princess," Lei Wanxi said loudly hearing Sheng Li smile. The crown princess knelt down and then stood up. "It felt like he was playing with a young girl" Sheng Li said. Ying Lili was back in the lead. Sheng Li easily defended her and moved from her place. The crown prince was now behind the crown princess. Flicking his sword in midair, he struck it onto Ying Lili's open bun as the hairpin fell to the ground.

Ying Lili's long black hair opened in the air as she quickly turned around. Ying Lili glared at him and twisted the sword in her hand. This time Sheng Li attacked him first when Ying Lili kicked his leg and with a single swift movement turned around, pointing his elbow towards Sheng Li to hit his stomach as Sheng Li grabbed his arm and locked Ying Lili's head between his arms. Using his other hand, Sheng Li grabbed onto Ying Lili's sword and dropped it onto the ground.

"What kind of game are you playing with me? Hit me without my permission?" Sheng Li told Ying Lili who was struggling between his arms. He used all his strength, punched the unsteady Sheng Li in his steps, and loosened his grip on him. Ying Lili took the opportunity and quickly grabbed her sword.

"I don't think that the crown princess will be able to defeat me" General Xiao said proudly.

"That means I shouldn't take you lightly," Sheng Li uttered as he balanced himself, looking at Ying Lili who had placed her sword before her face. "Indeed, the crown prince will not take this woman lightly," Ying Lili said with a grin.
