Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

Chapter 85: You Are My Princess

"Mo Jiangye, my hair hasn't dried yet." She gave him another shove.

"Are you still in pain?"

"Eh, eh!" She nodded earnestly.

The daily running, shooting, and various training had not allowed for a single day of comfort.

He took a towel and proceeded to dry her hair as she lay leisurely on his torso to swipe through the news on the phone.

"Gu Feirou, the lost princess of the Blue Tower Royalty?" She let out a hushed cry.

Furrowing her brows, she swiped rapidly through the recent news. The gossip in the last few days revolved around Gu Feirou.

How can she be the daughter of the Blue Tower Royalty?

"Do you know the Blue Tower Royalty?"

He caressed her cheek and said, "It's an independent nation close to the H Nation."

"How can Gu Feirou be the princess of the Blue Tower Royalty?" No wonder Lin Jingxuan had changed his mind and gotten engaged to her.

She looked flustered and crestfallen as she furrowed her brows.

Dipping his head, he placed a gentle peck at the corner of her lips. "She might be the princess of the Blue Tower Royalty, but you're my princess!"

She flushed with embarrassment and continued to look up on the Blue Tower Royalty on the phone.

Latest news: Since the news about Gu Feirou being "Little Ah Di" had spread, her fan base had expanded overnight. She had also changed her stage name to "Little Prince of Blue Tower" to keep up with her royal status. Her popularity and fan base exceeded Ye Erruo's by far now. One could sense the malice toward "Little Ah Mei" that came from her camp of supporters.

"There is no way she is the princess of the Blue Tower Royalty!" Ye Erruo declared resolutely. She had not heard that her former buddy had been a blue-blood in her past life. In fact, Gu Feirou's biological parents were commoners. She had been sold to a pedophile in the city who had tried to rape her when she was ten. The girl had made her escape and subsequently been adopted by an orphanage.

He looked at her with eyes that were dipping low. "Why are you so agitated?"

"I want to go back soon."

"I beg your pardon?"

"I'd like to go back soon." She looked at him expectantly.

She knew she would be free as long as he agreed.

"You can leave a week earlier. I'll take you away."

She was overjoyed. "Great!"

After a month of shooting, self-defense, and strength training, the group finally completed their foundational training. Two weeks later, the group gathered on a hill top at an altitude of about a few hundred meters. From the hill, they could glance over at the other hills that were linked by a glass bridge.

"Everyone has to cross this glass bridge to reach the next hill," Chen Zhanxiao said as he led the way.

"Instructor Chen, I have acrophobia."

"I… Me too! I have acrophobia, too!" A few girls backed away with a start.

Chen Zhanxiao turned around and glanced at them. "Those who have a fear of heights will form a separate row!"

Very soon, the team of more than a hundred participants was split into two teams.

"Those who aren't afraid of heights will walk over first," he declared lazily.

A group of men and an even smaller group of women cautiously made their way over.

"Now, those who have crossed over will pull the rest over."

"Understood!" The few instructors standing at the back went up and started to drag the rest over to the bridge.

"Ah!"

"No, no way! I can't cross over!"

A young man fainted after letting out a scream.

"…"

"Carry them over," Chen Zhanxiao ordered sternly.

"There are only two options: You can either walk over by yourselves or have someone carry you over. However, no one will help you when it's time for you to cross over to the starting point! If you can't cross over, then be prepared to sit and wait on the mountain with no help."

Acrophobia could be overcome, especially with the help of a team.

"Stare straight ahead! Don't look down!" The head coach held on to one of them and issued a stern instruction.
