Chapter 190: Teaching Cang Qiong A Lesson
Translator: Madesmoiselle V.
"I"d better not throw dust in your ears with my vulgar name." Murong Xue"s replied in a distant and perfunctory manner. To someone so malicious with an arbitrary character, she didn"t bother to say more. Murong Xue"s stunning beauty and clear eyes served as a foil to the sullen look on Cang Qiong"s face. He asked her contemptuously," So you were named after cats or dogs. Because for me, that kind of name can be called "vulgar"." "Mr. Cang Qiong, provocation doesn"t work on me." Murong Xue raised her eyebrows and looked at him sarcastically.
"Actually, it wasn"t your name that stirred up my curiosity, but you." Cang Qiong leered at her sinisterly. "Your intelligence makes you the kind of girl that I like. So what about going back to Nan Jiang with me and be my concubine? I will protect you and treat you well if you can win my favour." His remark caused an uproar. Murong Xue is the daughter of the Country-guarding Marquis and his legal wife, which made her qualified to be the legal wife of princes or eldest sons of feudal lords. It was shameless of Cang Qiong to ask her to be his concubine. Even if Cang Qiong did not know her true ident.i.ty, he must have figured out that she came from the upper cla.s.s. For no one from the low status are eligible to come to the summer resort following the Emperor.
He did this merely because she added a brushstroke to the painting, which defeated his purpose and humiliated him. He wanted revenge. 欧阳少宸俊逸容颜瞬间阴沉,白玉手指在玉杯边缘轻轻划过,清香的美酒瞬间凝成一支冰箭,缓缓浮出了酒杯,那尖锐的刺,凌厉的尖,只要射入要害,保证一击毙命! Ouyang Shaochen turned sullen instantly. As he ran his long, pale fingers along the rim of his gla.s.s, the fragrance of the wine solidified into an ice arrow almost at once, and slowly emerged from the gla.s.s. Its sharp edge guaranteed killing with one shot as long as it touches someone"s vital part. "Cang Qiong, please respect yourself!" Murong Xue snapped at him with a piercing stare. "So now we are on first-name terms. Seems like our relations.h.i.+p is strengthened!" Cang Qiong smiled with ineffable eeriness. The breeze gently drifted the scroll before his eyes, he impatiently waved and hung it aside.
Su Nanxiang"s scandalized gaze were focused on the stroll before she gradually settled back into concentration. It was such a stroke of genius to change the implied meaning from misfortune to auspice of health and longevity. She was too obsessed with the dragon itself to think of adding a mountain or clouds to the painting, which has different shades of colour that can not only cover its imperfections, but also show unusual imagination. Murong Xue is indeed extremely smart. How did she come up with this method? Why did I leave it out of consideration? No! How can she let Murong Xue be smarter than her? How can Murong Xue ever surpa.s.s her in terms of talent and intelligence? Malevolence flashed across Su Nanxiang"s eyes as she held her head up and reprimanded, "Please behave yourself, Cang Qiong. How can the daughter of our Country-guarding Marquis be your concubine? Don"t you have any more illusions her!" Seeing that Cang Qiong is interested in Murong Xue, she revealed details regarding her ident.i.ty and social status. For she knew that a vicious person like Cang Qiong would surely help her get rid of that loathsome romantic rival in a brutal way.
Cang Qiong gazed at Murong Xue with a treacherous smile." Turns out you are the daughter of the Country-guarding Marquis. I"m going to your capital tomorrow to greet your elders personally, and ask for their permission to take you as my concubine!" Ouyang Shaochen"s stare suddenly turned lethal. The ice arrow was discharged promptly, aiming at Cang Qiong"s cheek. His face turned aside under the tremendous force, and two of his molars were knocked out, with blood splashed into the air. "Who plotted against me?" Cang Qiong gently turned around, with his bloodthirsty, merciless eyes running down the crowd. "I did!" A sharp, vibrant voice rang out of the blue on the square. Cang Qiong looked away with the voice and saw an elegant figure.
His incomparably handsome appearance, his dark, sparkling eyes and imposing manner were daunting. Who else could it be other than Ouyang Shaochen? Cang Qiong"s eyes narrowed up in a flash. It was beyond his expectation that Ouyang Shaochen had returned. Despite Ouyang"s unrivalled abilities which had made him difficult to deal with, he was never the kind of person to suppress his indignation," How dare you beat me up?" "Just because you humiliated Murong Xue!" Ouyang Shaochen said with a murderous look, stressing each syllable. " She is a dear friend of mine, whom you are not even close to being qualified for teaching a lesson." The civil and military ministers looked at each other with an ambiguous expression on their faces. The reason why Murong Xue got humiliated was that she beat Cang Qiong at his own game and saved the entire kingdom from embarra.s.sment with one simple mark. Strictly speaking, Cang Qiong was using her to humiliate Qingyan Kingdom, the Emperor and all of them! This villain deserved a good lesson.
