Ancient Strengthening Techniques - Chapter 19: Portrait of Beauty
As Qing Shui stared at the ravishing beauty in the flaming red corset, he seemed to gulp. His mind was filled with thoughts to push him there and then, as seduction clues reflected in his eyes.
The girl with the flaming red corset noticed Qing Shui's gaze, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she was unsure of Qing Shui's intentions. This was partly because, looking at Qing Shui's charming pair of eyes, he didn't think that Qing Shui was able to think of such dirty thoughts, with him as his main focal point.
This was almost not to blame on Qing Shui. After all, she was basically a geek in her previous life, she had almost no experience with love. Not to mention his current age of 15 years, at an age where hormones raged wildly in one's body. The moment he saw this girl, he was lured .. like a moth on a flame. Qing Shui felt that this girl was perfect, her beauty was incomparable. Especially her jade-white face, it was a portrait of beauty! The only negative thing he could choose was that the girl's face was cold, similar to an ice princess. Still, even the most beautiful actresses and movie stars in her previous life were similar to her.
“Hai, is this horse yours? Can I drive it? ” Qing Shui calmed himself down and gathered his thoughts while asking a question that made the girl in red dress surprised. As Qing Shui asked, he ferociously used his strength to suppress the emberlion horse underneath. Even though he requested permission from the owner, he had absolutely no intention of descending. “You want to ride my emillion horse?” The girl in red coldly said, her cold countenance contrasted with the flaming red corset, making her look even more conspicuous.
Qing Shui also found this action ridiculous. The owner had not given him permission to ride his horse, yet he had already driven it. Meeting someone so despicable, the girl in red could only directly ask Qing Shui, as if wanting to tell him that his permission was still important.
At this moment, Qing Shui did a somersault again and landed back on the ground, smiling sheepishly as he looked at the girl in red. From a close distance she noticed that /that she was quite tall, furthermore, her pair of snow-white legs were slender and long, Qing Shui was quietly watching her. Nodding his head, Qing Shui asked "You're from the Hundred Miles City?"
"Yes!" Anyway, there's no need to keep this a secret. Anyone who was not an idiot could tell with a glance that he was an outsider.
Just when Qing Shui wanted to chat with her further, asking her what a good girl like her was doing in a place like this, Qing Luo appeared, accompanied by another old man and young man.
The old man's clothes were plain and unadorned, yet one could see that the sewing technique used to sew them was exquisite. This coupled with the dense and heavy aura emanating from the old man, one could easily tell that this man was someone of authority, a hotshot elsewhere.
The young man behind the old man looked to be the same age as the girl in red, but the clothes he was wearing were completely different from the old man. His clothes were made of the finest silk and cotton, giving a sense of nobility to the already handsome youth. Just by looking at the young man, anyone could tell that he had an incredible background. The only thing that might make people angry was that the young man had a haughty and arrogant expression in his eyes, as if looking down on the world was a natural thing for him, he said, like it's his right to do it. Qing Shui wanted to laugh when he saw this young man, because the temperament of this young man somehow reminded him of the emberlion horse he had been pressing before.
Qing Shui saw that the three of them were smiling as they walked. Could they have wanted to leave already?
"Qing Shui, come and greet your Uncle Nan Tian!" Qing Luo gestured for Qing Shui to come over as she happily made an introduction.
"Uncle Nan Tian, this Qing Shui junior greets you!" “Ahh, so you are the son of Qing Yi?” The old man asked in surprise. Qing Yi was still relatively young but she already had a son of this size. “It's nice to see you little boy.” Situ Nan Tian said warmly, giving off a comfortable feeling. “Let me introduce you. Qing Shui, this is my grandson Situ Bu Fan, and this woman is Shi Qing Zhuang! ” “And she's my fiancee!” Sela Situ Bu Fan with a smile that had not yet also a smile` cold hints emanated from her eyes.
"Oh, okay, what a pity." Qing Shui couldn't hide the feelings within him. Perhaps it was because Qing Shui already had a bad impression of Situ Bu Fan as he looked at her, not to mention the c*cky expression on his face when he said that Shi Qing Zhuang was his fiance. Qing Shui really felt like going and punching Situ Bu Fan in the teeth.
Instead, when Qing Shui first saw the woman in red, he already felt that her beauty was incomparable to other living beings. Even though she was a bit cold, Qing Shui was sure that just a simple smile from her would be comparable to a flower blooming in spring!
“You .. you .. what did you say ?!” Situ Bu Fan was angry to the point of stammering. He belonged to one of the 4 great clans in Hundred Miles City, he was the young master of the Situ Clan, he had never been spoken to like this before.
The meaning behind Qing Shui's words was very clear, as if he wanted to anger Situ Bu Fan on purpose.
Seeing how Situ Bu Fan acted and his low tolerance level, Qing Shui was filled with contempt. Situ Bu Fan was just a useless spoiled brat from a large clan who had no idea how high the sky was. If he went on an adventure in the outside world alone, he would definitely offend someone he shouldn't have hurt and invite misfortune upon himself.
Turning his head, Qing Shui looked at Shi Qing Zhuang. He did not seem to be affected by the war of words between the two of them. He calmly stroked the emberlion's horse mane as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
The giant bucketlion horse closed its eyes and stood still, looking to enjoy Shi Qing Zhuang petting it.
Situ Bu Fan obediently lowered his head and did not dare to say anything during the scolding that his grandfather had thrown at him.
"Qing Shui, you shouldn't be disrespectful to Situ Bu Fan." Qing Luo seemed to blame Qing Shui, but her tone was warm and gentle, giving Qing Shui a feeling that Qing Luo really admired his behavior.
Anger rose in his heart, Situ Bu Fan pondered, if this meeting were to happen somewhere else, not in Qing Village, he would definitely cripple Qing Shui, after all, there were many people who wanted to curry favor with him - the young master of the Situ Clan .
—————
So his name is Shi Qing Zhuang!
In Qing Shui's heart, he felt that not only was she beautiful, even her name sounded good, she was definitely from the Shi Clan in Hundred Miles City. The Shi Clan was also one of the 4 great clans in the Hundred Miles City, and they were the strongest of all, it was rumored that the City Lord of the Hundred Miles City was someone from the Shi Clan.
Reaching the entrance of Qing Village, "Brother Nan Tian, I will accompany you to get here, I will visit you again when I go to Hundred Miles City in the near future." Qing Luo slowed her pace and said to Situ Nan Tian.
"Brother, you don't need to be so polite, after all we are partners, the Situ Clan is also the Qing Clan and vice versa, there is no need to stand in ceremony with me." Situ Nan Tian angrily said.
After which, Situ Nan Tian and the other 2 left for a while.
“This damned old fox, it's been years, yet she's still so cunning!” Qing Luo sighed with a hint of helplessness.
"Grandfather, this Situ Nan Tian looks honorable and friendly, he shouldn't be too bad?" Qing Shui asked.
“Hahaha, you little fox, there is no need to act in front of grandfather, do you think that grandfather cannot say what you think? I have a feeling that you will be more ruthless than Situ Nan Tian when you reach his age. " Qing Luo laughed out loud.
“Grandfather...you molested me T_T, how could I be so cunning heh.” Qing Shui smirked wickedly.
“You are intelligent, and smart enough to be suspicious, and have a good sense of judgment towards people, it is a pity that your constitution is so weak .. Otherwise, taking into account your level of understanding, you will definitely have a world-shaking feat in the field of martial arts. " Qing Luo patted Qing Shui on the shoulder and said, with a contradictory expression appearing on her face.
—–
“Grandfather, why did you stop me earlier, how dare that Qing Clan boy humiliate me like this, I will definitely give him a punch.” Situ Bu Fan gritted his teeth in frustration.
Ai! Situ Nan Tian let out a sigh that he was holding, looking at his grandson, a trace of disappointment could be seen in his eyes. His talent in martial arts could be considered above average, but his EQ and way of interacting with others was too bad. Situ Bu Fan could only become arrogant, behaving like that in Hundred Miles City because he had the support of his Situ Clan. But what he did not know was that in the vast outer world, the Hundred Miles City was nothing .. just a speck of dust when compared to the truly great cities of the Greencloud continent.
Note:
Situ Nan Tian - Situ is a surname, Nan Tian literally means
Situ Bu Fan Sky North - Bu Fan means amazing.
