Chapter 100: This one is more to my taste
"It turns out to be Master Xie."
Manluo's heart moved. She wondered if Mr. Xie from Nanzhao had any connection with the royal family of Nanzhao?
The young man who called himself Master Xie stared at the woman in front of him with his eyes dimmed slightly.
But seeing her wet black hair draped over her shoulders, her skin covered with water droplets shone like pearls in the morning light, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of her lips seemed to be smiling, she was indescribably charming and attractive.
Suddenly, she began to suspect that she was a fox demon from the mountains.
"Meeting is fate, may I know your name?"
Manluo tilted her head slightly, shy and timid:
"My name is Manluo."
Mr. Xie smiled slightly and nodded slightly:
"The vine is applied to the pine and cypress, what a good name!"
Master Xie looked at the water droplets dripping from the ends of her hair, sliding down her graceful neckline into her collar. His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and a strange ripple arose in his heart.
Then, he took off his cloak and handed it to Manluo:
"Your clothes are soaked. If you don't mind, I'll use them to cover your body."
Manluo took the cloak and looked at him gratefully. Her eyes were full of spring water and she thanked him softly:
"Thank you for your help, sir."
"Miss, since there's no need to take you home, I have something important to attend to. So, I'll take my leave now. We'll see each other again if we're destined to."
After Mr. Xie finished speaking, he jumped on his horse.
"Slow down, young master!"
Master Xie turned around when he heard the voice. The moment his eyes met hers, he nodded slightly, then spurred his horse and whipped it. The group disappeared on the winding path like an arrow.
Manluo gently stroked the soft cloak in her hand, which still lingered with the man's faint pine scent. Her eyes followed his retreating figure, and she curled her lips slightly:
"This one suits my taste."
Suddenly, I felt a chill on the back of my neck and heard the sound of fluttering clothes behind me.
She turned around cautiously, only to see Fu Yunqing, who had disappeared for a long time, appear behind her, waving a folding fan, with an expression of anticipation:
"Are you attracted to him? Aren't you tired of pretending to be a good woman for so long?"
"I want to, what's it to you?"
"Hey, you woman!"
Manluo rolled her eyes at him:
"Are you a ghost? You appear and disappear all day long!"
Fu Yunqing clicked his tongue twice and moved closer, his eyes full of teasing:
"I'm really impressed by you! You just finished making love with Chu Jin, and now you're interested in this pretty boy. But, it's useless even if you're willing! It's impossible for you and him!"
"Why?"
"He is the second prince of Nan Zhao, Xie Zhan!"
Manluo's expression changed slightly, and her fingertips tightly grasped the cloak:
"He really is a member of the Nanzhao royal family!"
"What else?"
Fu Yunqing raised his eyebrows:
"The guards they bring with them when they go out are all Nanzhao secret guards, each of them is worth a hundred men. Do you think an ordinary Nanzhao merchant caravan can have such a scene?"
Seeing Manluo's uncertain expression, he leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice:
"I advise you not to fall in love with a handsome man. Nan Zhao and Tian Qi appear to be on good terms, but there are actually turbulent undercurrents. If you get involved, be careful not to drag the entire palace down with you!"
Manluo was so angry that she kicked Fu Yunqing's calf:
"Why don't you just go away? Why do you always stick to me?"
Fu Yunqing dodged her sharp kick:
"Your master told me to keep a close eye on you and not to cause any trouble! But you went on to rape Chu Jin and then hooked up with the Second Prince of Nanzhao. Tell me, how could I dare to go so far!"
"Fu Yunqing, I'm warning you! When you return, don't talk nonsense to the prince, or I'll poison your voice!"
Manluo threatened viciously.
"Yes, yes, yes. I am the son of the Grand Tutor's family after all. How dare you, a mere servant, be so presumptuous?"
"You're such a bitch, you deserve it!"
Manluo turned and left, and the water droplets on the ends of her hair, which had not yet dried, splashed onto Fu Yunqing's face.
"Hey, there's actually a woman like you in this world! It's really unbelievable!"
Fu Yunqing wiped his face and quickly caught up:
"Wait for me, I haven't finished what I want to say!"
"I have nothing to say to a cheap man like you who listens to the corner!"
"No, tell me, sir, what tactics did you use to defeat Chu Jin? He doesn't look like such a useless person, so how could he be so easily defeated by you so repeatedly?"
"Fu Yunqing, I advise you to eat less salt. Look how idle you are!"
"Hey, woman! With your bad temper, which man would dare to want you?"
"It won't be cheap for you anyway!"
"Tsk tsk, you have such a bad temper, I can't say a few words to you!"
"How should I know if you can do it?"
"Then you try it, and you'll know whether I can do it or not."
"Fu Yunqing, I'll castrate you and make sure you can't do anything!"
"Hey! You shrew!"
"Bah! You bastard!"
…
The noise of their quarrel gradually faded away by the lake, startling a few water birds, which fluttered off into the sky...
