"I was impulsive when I was a kid and bullied other children." Hu Yanqing covered his face, somewhat embarrassed. "Thankfully, Xiangxiang knew her limits and didn't let me lose too badly."
At that time, Hu Yanqing had heard too many rumors about the cause of her father's death, so she regarded Xia Xiang as the culprit and even went to challenge her. Of course, she lost and was really embarrassed.
Xia Xiang didn't know at the time that Hu Yanqing was Hu Yanzhuo's daughter. If she had known, she would have just given up and avoided her rather than have a conflict with her.
Hu Yanqing was six years older than Xia Xiang, and was still a grown man. Although he was blinded by anger, he still knew his limits. So Xia Xiang narrowly won by half a move and learned the art of mind control in the process.
Xia Xiang: Sister, I'm already drenched in sweat.
"What kind of boy does Xiangxiang like?" the leader suddenly brought up a topic. "You know that your uncle's health is getting worse and worse, and he may not be able to see you have a boyfriend. I'm just curious to ask."
Xia Xiang was reluctant to answer the question, so she frowned and thought for a moment before organizing her words to appease her elders.
"Uncle, you are sure to live to be a hundred years old. Wait a few more years, and when I get a boyfriend, I will bring him back first. Please help me choose him."
"Haha, just a little gossip, please." The alliance leader indicated that he wouldn't accept a perfunctory answer and insisted on knowing the truth today.
Xia Xiang was just about to say that she would fight for the destruction of the demon realm for the rest of her life, but then she glanced at the four people who were also staring at her with gossipy eyes, and thought, "They're the ones I like."
The alliance leader became interested. "What specific type? Cute and handsome? With a charming smile? Sunny and cheerful?"
Jiu, cute and handsome, with a charming smile, sunny and cheerful, clenched his chopsticks a little tighter, his knuckles even turning slightly white. He slightly restrained his burning gaze and quietly stared at Xia Xiang.
He was very anxious. His father kept rambling on and on. Wouldn't it be better to just tell Xia Xiang that there was no marriage alliance?
Now I'm even more anxious...
Having not received a reply, Jiu Lai buried himself in his food. Hu Yanqing, who had been watching the drama unfold, looked back and forth between Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu before they met eyes.
We exchanged glances; we were all just bystanders.
Xia Xiang felt the intense gaze of the person next to her and felt a little uncomfortable. She was still a child. Did she have to bear such inexplicable pressure?
She looked at the leader of the alliance and saw only his snow-white hair and expectant eyes. She looked around and found that they were all looking at her.
Guys, can we just treat her like a beautiful hot air balloon and let her go? She doesn't date, and that doesn't affect other people's dating lives!
"What type?" Xia Xiang swallowed nervously, describing a non-existent person with a blank expression, "I like people with a cold temperament, who don't smile, and who are mature and steady."
The alliance leader's expression cracked for a moment, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, as he secretly glanced at his eldest son. But seeing that the black aura surrounding Jiu Wu was almost solidifying, he could only pretend not to know anything and avert his gaze.
With a heavy nasal tone, Jiu Wu glared coldly at her, "How cold do you like it? Is it colder than a freezing spell?!"
Xia Xiang's calm expression almost cracked; she knew she seemed to have forgotten something! Turns out, she'd forgotten it at the cabin!
Alliance Leader, Jiu Lai: What did they miss?
Huyan Qing: Hehe, I know that~
Jiu Lai asked, puzzled, "Won't the Coagulation Technique get cold?"
He was always very strict about supernatural abilities; the Condensation Technique wouldn't get cold at all.
"Hey, you're too young, you wouldn't understand!" Hu Yanqing said with a grin.
"Who doesn't understand! I've killed at least a thousand or eight hundred demonized humans. Do you think I don't know?" Jiu Lai was very unconvinced and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiu Wu's sharp eyes.
"Alliance Leader, may I speak?" Hu Yanqing obediently raised his hand.
Her well-behaved demeanor is quite incongruous with her cool and sassy appearance, yet it also reveals a certain genuine cuteness.
"No need for such formalities, just call me 'Uncle' in private." The alliance leader laughed heartily.
"Okay, Uncle Jiu." Hu Yanqing agreed with a smile. "I like the type who is refined in character, has delicate features, and has a scholarly air, like my cousin Li. If you know anyone suitable, remember to introduce them to me."
"Okay," the alliance leader agreed with a hearty laugh.
Hearing this, Xia Xiang felt a pang of doubt, but she didn't show it on her face.
She had heard that Jiuwu had gone into seclusion to avoid an arranged marriage, but now he was out. She had met with them twice in the past few days, and they were together both times.
She thought that at least the two of them could accept each other, but now it seems that Jiu Wu is not actually the type of person she likes.
But it's hard to say about Jiuwu. Qingqing is such a good person, it's normal for Jiuwu to like her.
Does that mean that Jiuwu was only opposed to the current marriage arrangement before?
Stop, it's better if she doesn't keep imagining things...
Dance of Acupuncture: Dou E wakes up to find herself ranked second on the list?!
Seeing that she was expressionless and her eyes were fixed on something, Jiu Wu was about to speak to her when he was interrupted by a rapid ringing of a bell.
"Excuse me, this call is very important, I'll have to excuse myself for a moment." Xia Xiang recognized her own ringtone and got up to leave.
"What's wrong, Ji'an?" Xia Xiang asked, puzzled. Ji'an and she were using special equipment from Bamo Island, which was usually only used in emergencies.
“The matter of your rumors has been investigated. Rex was indeed not the mastermind, but he was involved. The first person mentioned was Linda Bai. She liked Rex, and because of jealousy, your previous grudges, and Rex's instigation, things turned out this way.” Gian's voice sounded very tired.
