Chapter 184: Beauty's Favor? Hehe
Foreign music is pleasant to listen to, and foreign beauties are naturally beautiful too.
Her charming eyes were gentle and affectionate, her exquisite and luxurious dress shone with a silver light, and her slender waist twisted and twisted, seductively moving with every step. Dancing to the high and low rhythms of the music, she truly looked like a lustful snake.
Jiang Wan looked up with great interest, and then met a direct gaze. After only two breaths of staring, he also raised the corner of his lips in understanding.
Oh, so it’s directed at me?
Without showing any expression, she just turned her head to look at the person who was diligently picking up food beside her and asked softly.
"Tell me honestly, have you ever left any romantic debts here that you shouldn't have left?"
Li Chengxiu stopped using his chopsticks diligently, and looked at his wife with an innocent face, trying to plead for justice for the woman who had casually accused him.
"Are you kidding me? I'm so hungry that I can't even afford to eat. Who would be interested in me?"
Jiang Wan smiled slightly and deliberately looked him up and down before making a few comments.
"What's wrong with being poor? Don't you still have the nerve to do that?"
"I think you're definitely not complimenting me, but I have no evidence."
He put down his chopsticks and moved his handsome face closer to his wife, trying to let her see him clearly.
"I was a sloppy person for the past few years, but now that I'm back with you, you've gradually made me more refined. So I swear with all my heart that, apart from those IOUs, I absolutely have not left behind any romantic debts!"
His eyes were as determined as when he was going into battle to kill the enemy. It was hard not to believe in his loyalty at this moment, so Jiang Wan patted her husband's arm soothingly.
"I just asked casually, there's no other meaning, don't take it personally."
"I don't believe it."
"You're welcome to disbelieve me. That's exactly what I meant. Please turn your head and look to the right."
"What?"
Li Chengxiu turned his head obediently and met a pair of affectionate eyes. The music also stopped very sensibly.
"Your Highness, Prince Qi, Yueya'er offers a toast to you. Thank you for helping us drive away those Li people, allowing us to return to a peaceful life. Please accept Yueya'er's respect and gratitude to this hero!"
The beauty held the cup in her bare hands, her eyes full of admiration and she spoke respectfully in a sweet voice. No matter who the man was, it was impossible to refuse this favor from a beauty.
But...
Qiao Yuwu put down his wine bowl in fear and looked at the smiling tiger sitting next to his cousin. He shook his paws uncontrollably and muttered to himself in fear.
"Damn it, my cousin is going to be in trouble today!"
"Brother Qiao, what are you mumbling about?"
Miao Zhuanghe came closer to ask, and Qiao and Wu happened to listen in passing.
"Brother Miao, who is this girl toasting?"
Da Miaozi turned his head to look, then took two breaths as if he had a toothache and coughed several times.
"Well, well, cough cough, my sister, Miao Yue, the most beautiful girl in our tribe, is nineteen years old and still unengaged. Are you attracted to my sister? Then..."
The man was visibly happy, and then was ruthlessly scolded by the other party.
"No! I'm just asking."
"oh."
The tone sounded a bit disappointed, but Qiao Yuwu, who was concentrating on the situation on his cousin's side, didn't notice it.
Li Chengxiu had already sat up straight, looking at the charming and delicate foreign beauty in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Miao Laowu, are you sick today?"
Miao Yue squeezed the fingers holding the wine glass hard, took a few deep breaths in her heart, and finally managed to hold up the delicate smile that was about to collapse.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness Prince Qi. Yueya'er is in good health. I want to thank you for leading people to help us drive away the enemy, so..."
"You don't need to thank me. We are just exchanging benefits for each other."
Li Chengxiu spoke the truth very honestly and waved his hand generously.
"Besides, you chopped down a lot of people back then. Even your brother couldn't wield that big knife as skillfully as you did. So why are you thanking me? Without me, you could probably have chased those little grasshoppers away on your own."
The advantage of being a straight man is that his brainless remarks are not directed at one side alone, but are basically indiscriminate group attacks, and whoever is killed will be killed.
"Mr. Li, can you drink or not? I'm giving you face, right? If you can drink, then drink. If you can't, then go to the dog table!"
I'm telling you, we don't have any money no matter how much you talk! Either I pay you back with my own body, or you're done talking today."
Fluent Dayu official language came out of her red lips, and she angrily slammed the wine glass onto the table. The anger in Miao Yue's eyes was clearly visible, and Chief Miao immediately stood up from his seat.
"Shut up, daughter!"
"Father, why can't I say it?"
Miao Yue's eyebrows furrowed, her delicate expression gone. Clearly a fiery one. She glanced at Jiang Wan, her tone still filled with anger.
"You're his new wife, right? Then do you know what your man does outside?"
"Of course I know."
There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Wan's eyes, but he still sat there calmly.
"I heard that your tribe has been in constant turmoil for years, and is often harassed by the neighboring Li and Liao people, which is a real headache for you. My husband has always been kind-hearted and loves to help those in need.
Just like you said just now, didn't he bring people to help you get justice and reclaim your territory a while ago? Is there anything to doubt about this?"
"Oh, now I finally understand why he insisted on marrying you! After all, you two are just like the cranes in the autumn, both shameless!"
Miao Yue, who obviously had not grasped the essence of Dayu Culture, sneered angrily and pointed at Li Chengxiu, accusing him.
"The Dali and Linyue people are indeed very bad, but you Dayu people are not good people either! Especially this man from your family, this shameless Prince Qi, who always comes to our place to eat and take things!
To put it nicely, he's here to help us fight, but to put it bluntly, he's here to take advantage of our misfortune! Just ask him yourself, how much food, drink, fur, and medicinal herbs does he take from us after each fight?
Today, as you Dayu people like to say, I'm going to be blunt. He wants a reward, right? I'll pay him back with my body! As for the rest, I don't even have a single ounce of silver! To be honest, we have nothing at all!
Jiang Wan blinked twice in embarrassment and stared at her husband speechlessly, not wanting to talk anymore.
I'm a bit confused. According to the normal melodramatic writing style, a man like Li Chengxiu, who is young, good at fighting, good-looking, and a prince, should be very popular among women, no matter how you look at it.
What is going on now?
Why was he always the target of disgust and the constant scorn of women everywhere he went, rolling their eyes and coming to him to collect debts? How had he gotten by in the past few years to end up in such a situation where everyone hated him?
