Chapter 2986: Like a Peacock Carrying a Fish

Damn it, this was such an ugly posture—it looked like a peacock carrying a fish that it just caught.

At the very least, he should have let her jump onto his back!

The referee announced Yu Liuli as the winner. The Fifth Prince was helped off the stage, still vomiting blood.

It seemed he had suffered severe injuries.

Someone was hastily stuffing pills into the Fifth Prince’s mouth.

With blood at the corners of his lips, the Fifth Prince towards Yu Liuli. Standing on the stage, Yu Liuli remained expressionless, looking down at him from above.

There wasn’t a hint of guilt for having beaten him so badly.

Yu Liuli even thought it wasn’t enough. These people had killed the original Yu Liuli—this was just the beginning.

The Fifth Prince was carried away.

Here’s the line-by-line edit, keeping the text as close to the original as possible with a straightforward, modern, and casual writing style:

Ning Shu felt dejected because she had suffered another heavy hit to her heart thanks to Shi Gang. Yet again, someone confirmed that a master-servant contract couldn’t be undone.

She felt so hopeless.

“Next, Yu Liuli versus Yu Linglong.”

Ning Shu straightened her back and looked toward the stage. These two sisters were finally facing off.

She even noticed Yu Liuli curl her lips into a smile.

It seemed that Yu Liuli intended to teach Yu Linglong a lesson in front of everyone here.

Yu Linglong, dressed in combat gear, stepped onto the stage and said to Yu Liuli, “Sixth Sister, your strength is impressive, but you shouldn’t have beaten the Fifth Prince so severely. After all, you two are engaged.”

“You should worry about yourself instead. And what position are you in to seek justice for the Fifth Prince?”

“On the stage, there is no distinction of status or relationships—only opponents. Besides, blades have no eyes; injuries are inevitable.” Yu Liuli’s tone was insincere.

Yu Linglong looked at her. “Must you be so aggressive and thorny? I was just casually mentioning it out of concern for you.”

“The Fifth Prince is royalty. By injuring him so gravely, Grandfather will have difficulty explaining this to the Emperor,” Yu Linglong said.

Did Yu Linglong not realize that Yu Liuli had done this on purpose? Of course, she did.

Deep down, she couldn’t help but feel excited. This way, the Fifth Prince would no longer like Yu Liuli and might even annul the engagement.

However, these thoughts had to stay hidden in the shadows, like how mice hid themselves in caves that would never see the light of day.

Yu Liuli sneered. “What a hypocritical and disgusting woman you are. Who knows how pleased you must be inside while putting on this act of concern. It’s revolting. Are we going to fight or not?”

Yu Liuli struck first. Her moves were crisp, decisive, and vicious.

Yu Linglong was forced to defend passively under Yu Liuli’s relentless assault.

For better or for worse, Yu Linglong had trained diligently since childhood and had never slacked off, so even under Yu Liuli’s fierce attacks, she managed to hold her ground for quite a long time.

Impatience flickered in Yu Liuli’s eyes, and her moves became even more cunning and ruthless. She soon gave Yu Linglong a serious injury.

Yu Linglong fell to the ground. As she struggled to get up, Yu Liuli walked over with a cold smile.

Yu Linglong tried to stand, but Yu Liuli sneered and, in front of everyone, sent a powerful palm strike towards her abdomen.

She directly destroyed Yu Linglong’s cultivation foundation.

Yu Linglong’s body was flung off the stage, landing heavily on the ground. Her face was filled with shock as she coughed up blood.

Yu Liuli had shattered her cultivation core—her dantian.

Standing on the stage, Yu Liuli looked down at the bleeding Yu Linglong and mouthed, “Now you can have a taste of what it feels like to be unable to cultivate, to be humiliated.”

Here’s the line-by-line edit, keeping the text as close to the original as possible while maintaining a straightforward, modern, and casual writing style:

Yu Linglong spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.

Her face was pale as death as she was carried away.

As the stretcher was carried past Ning Shu, Ning Shu glanced at her.

Yu Linglong’s life was essentially ruined. Unless there was some miraculous pill to restore her shattered dantian, she was done for.

When two tigers fight, one must inevitably get hurt. There was no possibility of peaceful coexistence between Yu Liuli and Yu Linglong.

Now that Yu Linglong’s cultivation foundation was destroyed, she would be no more than an ordinary person.

Moreover, with her body severely injured, she might have to spend the rest of her days bedridden. Her lifespan will likely also be shortened.
