Su Xiaoxiao was on the verge of exploding. She never imagined that Jing Zhe would be so shameless as to do this to her!
Damn it!
She cursed inwardly, gritted her teeth, and breathed heavily. Then she pulled a black and white whip out of her sleeve!
Upon closer inspection, Jing Zhe realized it was the very same banner that Su Xiaoxiao had casually waved when they first met!
If it weren't for seeing this whip, Jing Zhe would have almost forgotten that Su Xiaoxiao had another identity: a disciple of Tongtianque and a disciple of the Qingyang Sect Leader!
Su Xiaoxiao, holding a long whip, was ready to make her move.
Jing Zhe immediately reached out to stop her: "Little... Eldest Princess, please don't!"
"Scared now?"
Su Xiaoxiao raised her chin, looking somewhat smug.
Jing Zhe wasn't afraid. Even if he gave Su Xiaoxiao her hands and legs, he could defeat her with just his tongue—after all, he was a mid-level sixth-level expert, and his tongue alone was terrifying.
But now they were in the front courtyard of the Prince of Jin's mansion, surrounded by servants of the Prince of Jin's mansion, and the Prince of Jin had just entered the front hall. All the surrounding environment was unfavorable to Jing Zhe.
Losing is shameful, winning is even more shameful—the first thing the dignified leader of the martial arts alliance did after taking office was to beat up the little princess. If word got out, people would probably laugh their heads off!
"Yes, I'm scared. I'm afraid I'll hit her too hard and make the princess cry, that would be terrible."
Jing Zhe said earnestly.
"..."
Su Xiaoxiao was too impulsive. After calming down, she realized that Jing Zhe's martial arts skills were very strong, but she did not believe that he would dare to attack her in public. So she said angrily, "Heh, you are just a low-ranking official of the fifth grade. Do you dare to be so disrespectful as to hit a princess like me?"
Jing Zhe shook his head: "Princess, we can't calculate it like that!"
"How do you calculate it?"
“You are an unknown disciple of Tongtianque, while I am now the leader of the martial arts alliance. Not to mention you, even your sect leader and your master would have to treat me with respect. So it is perfectly justified for me to beat you!”
"..."
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment.
The raised whip is neither an option to strike nor to leave unwielded.
Go ahead and smoke. What he said makes sense. She can't beat him, and according to the seniority of the sect, his status has already reached the ceiling. She really can't compare.
If she doesn't smoke, the servants who occasionally pass by are all watching the two of them closely. When has Su Xiaoxiao ever been so embarrassed in front of everyone?
Just as she was struggling with her dilemma, Jing Zhe seemed to see her predicament, reached out and took her whip, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, this whip is quite exquisite. The thickness is just right, and the length is just right. Hmm, no wonder Your Highness took it out to show me! What a fine whip!"
Jing Zhe held the whip and pretended to examine it carefully, then began to flatter him.
Su Xiaoxiao blushed and paled as she was patted, but she could tell that Jing Zhe was giving her a way out. She looked up at him, her eyes flickering with a hint of complexity.
However, she is the proud Su Xiaoxiao, and she can never lower her head. Others can only see their feet when they lower their heads, but she can't see them when she lowers her head, so she never lowers her head!
She raised her head, blushing, and said, "Yes, I told you my whip... was beautiful, but you didn't believe me. Now you see for yourself!"
"I've seen it! The eldest princess's whip is really beautiful!"
"..."
The servants around also pricked up their ears and heard it, thinking to themselves: "It's just a matter of a whip, what's the point?" So they scattered and left!
Once they had all left, leaving only Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Zhe in the front yard, Jing Zhe didn't want to linger any longer.
There was still some time before noon, so he decided to conserve his energy, since there were still several long and fierce battles to come!
So he took his leave, saying, "Princess, if there is nothing else—"
"Don't call me...Princess!"
Su Xiaoxiao glared at him, feeling that his use of the word "big" was rather inappropriate.
"Then what should I call you?"
"Hmph~"
Jing Zhe subconsciously wanted to take a few more glances, but Su Xiaoxiao blocked him with her cloak and gave a cold snort, but Jing Zhe could hear a hint of coquetry in that snort.
"Just call me Little Princess! What do you mean by 'Grand Princess'? It sounds awful!"
Compared to the eldest princess, Su Xiaoxiao still prefers the youngest princess, perhaps because she is used to hearing it, or perhaps because her name contains the character "xiao" (meaning "young").
"Oh, little princess."
After Jing Zhe finished speaking, he looked up and Su Xiaoxiao's flickering eyes met his in mid-air. She was clearly flustered. Although she glared at him, she immediately looked away.
Jing Zhe's brain raced, and he immediately came to a conclusion: Could this little girl have taken a liking to him?
He's handsome and dashing, and he shone brightly at the martial arts tournament. It's understandable that the young girl would be smitten!
Jing Zhe nodded slightly, quite pleased with himself.
Of course, he was somewhat resistant, after all, the Prince of Jin was his enemy. Although having a relationship with his daughter that went beyond friendship would not cause him any loss, he was a noble person, a pure person, a person who had transcended vulgar interests, and he had to be brave enough to say goodbye to these bad behaviors!
"You, come with me!"
Where to?
"Go to my room!"
"Going to your room...what for?"
You'll see when you get there!
"..."
Listening to Su Xiaoxiao's "seduction," Jing Zhe was completely certain that she not only had her eye on him, but also wanted to sleep with him!
In broad daylight, under the clear sky, she was about to take him back to his room... He was too embarrassed to even think about it!
Then, with a furrowed brow, he uttered a single word with unwavering resolve:
"good…"
As the saying goes, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
In order to prevent Su Xiaoxiao from harming others, to have the courage to say no to such evil forces, and to expose Su Xiaoxiao's tricks, Jing Zhe decided to go there in person...
...
Su Xiaoxiao lived in the very back of the Jin Prince's Mansion. Jing Zhe had been in the Jin Prince's Mansion for a long time, but he had never walked here before. After walking along a winding corridor paved with cobblestones and passing through several moon gates, he finally arrived at the courtyard where she lived.
Pavilions and waterside terraces, with rugged artificial hills.
Early winter has arrived, and everything outside is withered and yellow, but this courtyard is full of greenery, with trees such as holly and pine, as well as plants such as crabapple and chrysanthemum, which makes people feel happy.
As he walked along, he didn't see a single servant in the vast courtyard, which made Jing Zhe curious: This is not normal for a princess! The only explanation is that she sent all the servants away so that she could have him!
What a clever woman!
Jing Zhe walked behind Su Xiaoxiao, staring down at her swaying, twisting back, feeling a burning sensation in his throat—
Ouch!
Arriving at the door of a side room, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, and Jing Zhe, caught off guard, bumped into her, causing Su Xiaoxiao to cry out in pain.
What are you doing!
"Um... okay."
Jing Zhe said straightforwardly.
"..."
