Beautiful Yinyin (2)

Pei Shao felt countless strange looks being cast his way and was just about to make sense of them when Dongfang Yinyin raised her voice again. "Everyone here, listen up! If this classmate Pei can beat me, then I'll take him as my master! But if he loses, he must apologize to me, Dongfang Yinyin, apologize to my father, apologize to our Eastern Martial Arts Hall, and apologize to everyone here! You will all be witnesses!"

"Whoosh!" The moment her words fell, the surroundings first went dead silent, then all kinds of voices erupted at once. The hall became as noisy as a boiling pot, with everyone talking over one another.

"Oh wow! Looks like Sister Yinyin is really angry this time! The consequences are serious!"

"Yeah! But she shouldn't make that kind of promise. What if she really loses..."

"Tch, how could Sister Yinyin lose? To that kid who isn't even as sturdy as our martial arts hall's janitor?"

"Exactly! That kid doesn't even look like he could beat any of us. How could he possibly defeat Miss Yinyin, whose strength is downright terrifying?"

At that moment, faced with the market-like uproar around him, the pressure in Pei Shao's heart shot upward. "Castle... Castle... it looks like I've really caused a huge disaster this time!"

"Pei! Calm down. Things are not as bad as you think!"

"What should I do? It's over, it's really over this time. Not only did I ruin the job Sister Mei Jing assigned me, but also..."

"Listen! If you follow my instructions later, your chance of victory should be around 80%!"

Castle's words seemed to possess a calming power, instantly restoring some clarity to Pei Shao's mind. That's right. As long as Castle is here, why the hell should I be afraid of her?

No longer paying attention to the various looks around him, Pei Shao raised his head and bravely met Dongfang Yinyin's gaze. Dongfang Yinyin was slightly startled. So, this Pei whatever really has some nerve. He actually dares look at me like that? Fine. Let me test your skills and see exactly what gives you the confidence to look down on me and our Eastern Martial Arts Hall!

With that thought, Dongfang Yinyin emphasized again, "Classmate Pei, I'll say it once more. If you can defeat me, then I, Dongfang Yinyin, will take you as my master on the spot!"

The moment she said that, another wave of mockery and applause rang out around them.

And who knew which busybody moved so quickly, but just as Dongfang Yinyin finished speaking, she had already called over a number of male students from the martial arts hall to cheer her on. The moment they arrived, they began shouting over one another. "Sister Yinyin, don't go up yourself! Let us deal with this kid who doesn't know what's good for him!"

"Yeah, Sister Yinyin, don't lower yourself to his level. Leave him to us!"

Dongfang Yinyin waved a hand, signaling them to quiet down. Her eyes burned with fury as she stared at Pei Shao. "No! This concerns the reputation of the Eastern Family. I cannot leave it to someone else! I'll personally show this classmate Pei whether I, Dongfang Yinyin, am truly just a weak woman!"

My god! Is this really necessary? Pei Shao cried inwardly.

As the number of spectators around them kept growing, Pei Shao vaguely felt that there was no way today's matter would end peacefully. He simply steeled himself and quietly asked Castle, "Castle, can you really give me an 80% chance of winning?"

"Without a doubt!"

At that moment, Dongfang Yinyin saw that Pei Shao was ignoring her words and merely lowering his head to mutter something. Her face turned pale as she demanded, "Do you dare to fight or not? Are you even a man?"

This concerned Pei Shao's honor. He immediately raised his head and said somewhat helplessly, "Fine! I accept!"

"Awesome! Sister Yinyin, teach this brat a hard lesson!"

"Go, Sister Yinyin!"

Though they were shouting, their feet automatically cleared an open space in the center for Pei Shao and Dongfang Yinyin. They moved to the side, waiting to watch Pei Shao make a fool of himself. Pei Shao took off his shoulder bag, put the digital camera inside, then tossed the bag onto the floor. Rising to his feet, he said, "Excuse me," and stood facing Dongfang Yinyin, their eyes locked.

Although Castle had given him an 80% chance of victory, Pei Shao could not help feeling nervous.

He had seen the martial arts Dongfang Yinyin had displayed earlier. Whether a complete amateur like him could truly beat her, he honestly had no idea, and cold sweat seeped into his palms.

Pei Shao and Dongfang Yinyin stood facing each other for a while as the commotion outside the ring gradually quieted. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Pei Shao, and they were all thinking the same thing: how many moves could this reporter, who was not particularly muscular, withstand from Dongfang Yinyin?

In their eyes, it would already be a miracle if Pei Shao could withstand three of Dongfang Yinyin's punches.

Yet once Dongfang Yinyin stepped into the center, she instead regained her composure. Her eyes completely locked onto Pei Shao's every movement. This was indeed the bearing only a true fighting expert could display.

Pei Shao felt his heartbeat growing faster and faster.

Castle's voice suddenly rang out. "Attention! Your opponent is about to attack!"

At the same time, Dongfang Yinyin, who had remained as steady as a mountain, moved in an instant!

The image in Pei Shao's eyes suddenly blurred from solid form into an afterimage. Dongfang Yinyin had been more than five meters away from him, yet by the time Pei Shao caught sight of her again, the force of her fist was already rushing toward his face, instantly enveloping his entire body.

"The opponent has targeted your right ribs. Shift your body forty-five degrees to the left to evade!" Castle's timely prompt left Pei Shao no time for a second reaction. His body instinctively tilted left!

"Ah!" Everyone below the ring sucked in a breath at the same moment!

"What?"

"He actually... this... oh my god!"

"What... happened?"

Pei Shao himself, standing in the center, also wanted to know what had just happened. When Castle instructed him to shift left and evade Dongfang Yinyin's attack, her attack had come so fast that Pei Shao made a perfectly natural motion while dodging—he closed his eyes!

But when he opened them again, he discovered that while his body had indeed dodged aside, his arm had caught Dongfang Yinyin's arm. In other words, although their arms were tangled together, one of their bodies leaned left while the other leaned right, making them look as though they were ballroom dancing! And Pei Shao's elbow was pressed tightly against Dongfang Yinyin's chest.

Pei Shao only felt as though his elbow had landed on a patch of cotton. It was soft and felt incredibly nice. So soft. This doesn't feel like someone with a flat chest! As he thought that, Pei Shao could not help glancing several more times at Dongfang Yinyin's ample chest. Unfortunately, beneath her pale yellow martial arts robe, it still looked completely flat, with nothing unusual visible.

The entire hall fell deathly silent!
